THE WIFE HE NEVER WANTED
“Isla Calloway's marriage was never built on love, it was a carefully orchestrated alliance between two families, and she had accepted it with quiet strength. Despite Adrian, her husband, being cold and distant, Isla carried on with dignity, hoping someday she would be seen for more than just the woman chosen for him. But when Adrian hands her divorce papers, Isla realizes she can no longer cling to an illusion. She signs without protest, choosing peace over a love that was never hers to begin with, and walks away carrying a secret: she is pregnant with Adrian's child. Betrayed and abandoned, Isla sets out to build a new life on her own terms, determined to protect her baby from a world that never valued her. Unknown to her, Davis Calloway, Adrian's elder brother, has been quietly watching, his guilt for his brother's cruelty mixing with feelings he can no longer deny. When Davis discovers Isla's pregnancy, a truth even Adrian is unaware of , he vows to find her before it's too late. As Isla fights for her future, she must navigate betrayal, family expectations, and an unexpected connection she never saw coming. In a world where she was once powerless, Isla will choose her own destiny, and perhaps find the love she was once denied.”
