The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me
For three years, Arabella worked as the secretary to Damian Harrison, the cold and untouchable CEO of Harrison Company. An accident had taken his legs—and, he claimed, his heart. He swore he could never love again. That’s why he offered Arabella a contract: one year as his wife, in exchange for ten million. He thought she was professional, detached, the perfect choice. What he didn’t know was that she had secretly loved him all along.
What began as a fake marriage slowly blurred into something real. And now, after five years apart, Damian’s words shatter every wall Arabella built around her heart:
“Now? God only knows how much I love you. How much I want to spend the rest of my days with you. How much I want to build a family with you. When you’re ready… really ready… I’m going to ask for your hand. For real this time. No contracts. No lies. Just you and me. You gave me hope again, Arabella. You made me believe I could walk again. That I could be happy again. You’re my why…”

Chapter: The surgeryDAMIANShe was on her knees.Crying. Begging me to do the surgery.I've never seen someone caring so much for me like that.“Let me help you walk again. For you. For me.”My chest caved in.She was taking up too much space in my life.In my office. At my house. In my head. And soon... In my heartThe fake marriage... it wasn’t fake anymore.The way she laid her head on my chest. The way she massaged my feet. The way she looked at me was like I wasn’t broken.I couldn’t handle it.If I let her stay, I’d fall. And if I fell, I’d lose her too. Like I lost them.“No.”The word cut through the air.“Damian, please—”“I SAID NO!” I slammed my hand on the armrest. The pain grounded me. “Don’t you ever bring that up to me again!”She flinched. God, she flinched.“Get up,” I said, my voice dead. “You’re pathetic.”I rolled away. Because if I stayed one more second, I’d kiss her.And that would ruin everything.For 2 days, I iced her out.Ate in my office. Slept in the other room.I needed dist

Chapter: The PhotoThe door opened.Elias stood there in a robe. And behind him, a photographer. With a camera.“I just wanted to get a photo,” Elias said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “For the family album. My new granddaughter and grandson. In bed. Together.”Damian went rigid beside me.“Get out,” he said. His voice was ice. Final.“Damian,” Elias sighed. Like he was talking to a child. “Don’t be difficult. It’s just one photo. For me.”The photographer lifted the camera. The lens pointed right at us.My heart was hammering. I could feel Damian’s tension. His anger.I didn’t think. I just moved.I shifted closer to Damian. And I laid my head on his chest.His heart was pounding. Hard. Against my cheek. Like a caged animal.For a second he froze.Then, slowly, hesitantly... his arm came around me.He pulled me closer. And buried his face in my hair.His breath was warm on my scalp.“Like this?” I whispered, my voice shaking. Only he could hear me.He didn’t answer. He just held me tighter.

Chapter: 48 HoursThe guest wing was bigger than my entire apartment.Marble floors. Silk curtains. A fireplace.And one bed.King-size one. In the middle of the room.My stomach dropped.“Mr. Harrison, Mrs. Harrison,” the maid said with a smile. “Your suite for the weekend. Dinner will be served at 8. Mr. Elias requests your presence.”She closed the door behind her.Silence.I turned to Damian. He glanced at the bed, then at me, before looking back at the bed.His jaw was clenched.“There must be another room,” I said quickly. Too quickly. “A couch. Anything.”Damian rolled to the door and opened it. “There isn’t.”He closed it again.“For 48 hours,” he said, his voice flat. “We act like a couple. For him.”His own words from earlier. Now they sounded like a prison sentence.I sat on the edge of the bed. It was huge. We wouldn’t even touch.Right?That’s when my phone buzzed.A text from an unknown number:[Photo of me kissing Damian at the gala]Message: I know it’s fake. $50,000 or I send this to t

Chapter: The RingThe Harrison mansion looked like a castle.White marble. Gates taller than my apartment building. Guards.And waiting at the top of the steps, leaning on a cane, was him.Elias Harrison.Damian’s grandfather. The devil who built an empire.“Let’s go,” Damian said from the backseat. His voice gave nothing away.The chauffeur opened my door. And I got out wearing the red dress again. And the ring.The massive diamond on my right hand caught the morning sun and blinded everyone.I’d put it on in the car. My hands were shaking so bad I almost dropped it.Damian rolled out in his wheelchair. His eyes went straight to my hand.He didn’t look away.He stared. Long. Hard. At the ring on my finger. Like he was memorizing it. Like he was seeing me as his wife for the first time.My throat went dry.“Good morning, Grandfather,” Damian said, his voice flat.Elias Harrison’s eyes narrowed. Then they moved to me. To the ring. To my hand, it was trembling.“So,” the old man said. His voice was grave

Chapter: Ten million viewsThe car was silent.The kind of silence that presses on your chest until you can’t breathe.I sat as far away from Damian Harrison as the leather seats would allow. The red dress felt like it was burning my skin.My lips still tingled.His hands had been on my hips.He stood up for me.In front of everyone. In front of Rachel.“What was that?” Damian finally said. His voice was low. Dangerous. He wasn’t looking at me. He was staring out the window at the city lights.“I…” I swallowed. “I’m sorry. I just—”“Don’t.” He cut me off. “Don’t apologize for doing your job.”Oh, I’m just doing my job. I’m his contractual wife, after all. Saving him from humiliation is the least I can do. That’s all this ever was to him—a job.I blinked. “Then what is it?”“It’s the fact that in 10 minutes, that photo is going to be on every news site, every blog, every gossip page in the country.” He turned to me then. His dark eyes were unreadable. “Damian Harrison kisses his new wife at a charity gala.”My s
