Chloe Kensington went to her billionaire husband's private suite to share the news of her pregnancy. But pushing open the door, she found him intimately holding a woman who had her exact same face. She finally understood she was never a wife, just a cheap, convenient placeholder. When she fled into the freezing rain and texted him about the baby, Axel responded by throwing a brutal divorce agreement at her. "I don't want this accident," he said with empty eyes. Before she could even fight back, his true love brought thugs to the estate, injected Chloe with a paralyzing drug, and drenched the walls in gasoline. "Tomorrow's headline will be so tragic," the woman smirked, striking a match to burn Chloe and the unborn heir to ashes. As the flames roared and thick smoke choked her lungs, Chloe's heart completely died. She didn't understand why her devotion was treated like garbage, and how he could let them erase her existence so easily. Four years later, she returned as Elena, an untouchable medical consultant, holding the hands of her fierce four-year-old twins. When they accidentally crossed paths on a train, Axel stared at her with red, trembling eyes, desperately calling her name. Chloe just looked at him with absolute disgust. "Excuse me, sir. Keep your hands to yourself."

The Unwanted Wife Returns With Secret Twins Chapter 1

Chloe Kensington had come only to deliver the newly encrypted secure phone Axel had demanded. The heavy aluminum briefcase was still in her hand when she pushed the door to his private suite open just a crack-and froze.

Voices drifted from the living room. She heard Axel's deep, tender tone-one he had never used with her. "You're the one I never got over, Serena. The real love of my life."

A soft, fragile laugh. "Axel... we shouldn't. Chloe is your wife."

"Chloe is nothing," Axel spat. "A cheap imitation. I only married her because she looks like you. You're the original. My moonlight."

"Don't say that," Serena murmured, her voice dripping with false sympathy. "She's still a human being. I feel terrible for her."

Axel's voice hardened. "Don't defend her. She's a placeholder-a pathetic copy who will never be you. She means less than nothing to me."

Chloe's fingers went numb. Through the archway, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Manhattan skyline, stood Axel. His broad shoulders were tense under his tailored shirt. He was facing away from her.

On the leather sofa beside him sat a woman in a burgundy silk dress.

The woman turned her head toward the window. The city lights caught her profile.

Chloe's stomach plummeted. Her fingers went numb, and the briefcase nearly slipped from her grasp.

The woman's brow bone, the slope of her nose, the curve of her jaw-they mirrored Chloe's own face. The resemblance was uncanny.

Serena let out a soft, breathy laugh. She stood up and wrapped her arms around Axel's waist from behind.

Axel did not push her away. He turned around, his large hands resting on Serena's hips. He lowered his head and pressed a long kiss to her forehead.

Chloe could not breathe. Her lungs felt like they were packed with wet sand.

The harsh terms of her prenuptial agreement flashed in her mind. The strict rules about her appearance, the specific way Axel asked her to style her hair, the exact shade of lipstick he preferred.

She was not a wife. She was a placeholder. A cheap replica of the woman currently in his arms.

Serena shifted her weight. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the shadow in the entryway. A small, triumphant smile touched her lips before she deliberately buried her face into Axel's chest.

Her lungs burned. She reached the elevator bank and slammed her palm against the call button. The doors opened immediately. She threw herself inside and jammed her finger against the close button.

Axel stepped out of the suite just as the silver doors began to slide shut.

Chloe stared at him through the narrowing gap. His face was an unreadable mask. The doors clicked together, sealing her inside.

The elevator dropped. The sudden descent made her knees buckle. Chloe slid down the cool metal wall and hit the floor. She pulled her knees to her chest and covered her face with her hands.

Tears burned her eyes, hot and fast.

The elevator chimed at the lobby. Chloe scrambled to her feet. She pushed through the revolving glass doors and ran out into the freezing New York rain.

The icy drops soaked through her trench coat instantly. The cold shocked her system, clearing the fog in her brain.

She ran to the curb and threw her hand up. A yellow cab screeched to a halt.

Chloe yanked the door open and slid onto the cracked vinyl seat.

"Where to?" the driver asked, glancing at her in the rearview mirror.

"The Hamptons," she said, her voice shaking. She rattled off the address of the estate. "And please, hurry."

She reached into her coat pocket. Her phone was vibrating violently against her thigh. She pulled it out. The screen flashed Axel's name.

Chloe stared at the glowing letters. Her thumb hovered over the screen. She pressed the red button, sending the call to voicemail.

She opened a new text message. Her fingers trembled so badly she dropped the phone onto her lap. She picked it up again and typed four words.

I am pregnant.

She hit send. Then, she held down the power button until the screen went completely black.
