BOUND TO THE CRIPPLED CEO CHAPTER 121: THE RECKONING
IVANThe drive back from the station felt like moving through fog.The streets passed in smudges of color, my reflection in the tinted window cold and unmoving. Amy’s words kept circling my head, every sentence cutting deeper the more I tried to shake it off.Nolan.Of all the names she could have said, his was the one that hurt the most.I’d always known there was resentment between us. The unspoken competition. The silent power struggle. But this? To go this far… to hurt Danica… to traumatize our daughter?John said something from the front seat, but I barely caught it.“Sir?” he repeated gently.“Call the house,” I muttered, my voice quieter than I intended. “Tell them to prepare the meeting room. I want everyone there. Family only.”“Yes, sir.”My hands rested flat on my knees as we drove through the gates of the mansion. The guard opened the door immediately when we arrived. I stepped out, ignoring the startled looks from the staff as I walked straight inside.The air inside was

IVANThe hospital lights still burned behind my eyes long after I’d stepped out. Their sterile brightness clung to me or maybe it was the image of Danica initially lying pale against the white sheets, her voice trembling as she whispered Amy’s name.Amy.The name alone made something coil hard in my chest.John had already pulled up at the curb. The car’s black frame gleamed under the afternoon sun as he got out quickly to open the door.“Sir,” he greeted, but I barely nodded. My mind was somewhere else.The engine started with a quiet hum as we pulled out of the hospital compound.I dialed Pete before the car hit the main road. He picked up almost immediately.“Talk to me,” Pete’s voice came sharp through the line.“They caught her,” I said. My tone was clipped, steady, but my grip on the phone wasn’t. “Amy. She’s being held at the station.”A pause. Then, “You’re sure?”“I’m on my way there now.”Pete let out a low curse. “About time. What about my daughter… Danica?”“She’s stable,”
BOUND TO THE CRIPPLED CEO CHAPTER 120: (THE ARREST)
VANThe call came just as the nurse finished checking Danica’s vitals and she fell asleep. My phone buzzed once, sharp and insistent in my pocket. I glanced at the screen: Security HQ.I excused myself quietly, stepping out into the corridor. The hallway was bright and sterile, humming faintly with distant voices and the shuffle of nurses passing by.“Ivan Clarkson speaking,” I said, my tone clipped.“Sir,” the voice on the other end was brisk. “We’ve found her. The woman—Amy Bart. She was apprehended by the police about thirty minutes ago at a private lodge just outside town. They’re holding her at the central station now.”For a second, I just stood there, my hand tightening around the phone. “You’re certain it’s her?”“Yes, sir. Positive identification. We’ve already confirmed with facial recognition from the estate’s security feed earlier today.”I closed my eyes briefly, exhaling slowly. The image of Danica lying unconscious on the living room floor flickered through my mind, and
BOUND TO THE CRIPPLED CEO CHAPTER 119: (THE SCENT OF TRUTH)
DANICAThe first thing I heard was the steady beep of a machine. Soft. Rhythmic. Too calm for the storm in my head.My eyelids fluttered open to a blur of white walls and the faint scent of antiseptic. For a moment, I couldn’t tell where I was or why my body felt like it had been slammed by something heavy.Then I heard his voice.“Danica?”It was low, rough, and laced with something I hadn’t heard in his tone in a long while—fear.I blinked slowly until my eyes found him. Ivan sat beside me, his suit jacket off, his tie loosened. He looked… wrecked. His hair was slightly messy, his sleeves rolled up, and there was exhaustion written all over his face.“You’re awake,” he breathed, as if he wasn’t sure it was real.My throat felt dry. “What… happened?” I managed to whisper.He leaned forward, his hand brushing my arm gently. “Don’t move yet. You hit your head pretty hard.”I frowned, the fog in my mind slowly lifting. “Hit my head?”He nodded, jaw tightening. “The housekeeper called me

DANICAFor a second, we just stared at each other, the air between us charged and thick. Her eyes darted around as if searching for a way out, but my voice cut through before she could move.“Say it,” I said quietly. “Say you did it.”Amy’s lips parted, but nothing came out. Her fingers twitched at her sides, her jaw working as though she was biting back words.“I know it was you,” I continued, taking a slow step closer. “The perfume, the voice— everything matches. You were there that night, weren’t you? You were the one taunting me while Valerie cried.”“You’re insane,” she hissed, taking a sharp step back. “You’ve completely lost it.”“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I remember now. You thought I wouldn’t, didn’t you? But I do. Every word you said. Every sound. It was you, Amy.”She folded her arms, a bitter smile stretching her lips. “You really should get yourself checked, Danica. Maybe that husband of yours finally drove you mad.”My heartbeat thundered against my ribs. “Don’t twi
BOUND TO THE CRIPPLED CEO CHAPTER 117: (A SHOCKING REVELATION)
DANICAAfter dinner with my father and his wife Emma on Sunday, the next day came with the brutal awareness of it being a Monday. Since Dave controlled all the physical work over there in Greece, I just had some few mails to respond to from here.I’d spent the morning trying to busy myself, folding laundry that didn’t need folding and staring out the kitchen window more times than I could count. The kids had gone off to school with the driver, and Ivan had already bolted for work before breakfast was even cleared from the table.The silence pressed in from every corner.I was just about to make tea when one of the housekeepers stepped into the kitchen, her tone polite but unsure. “Mrs. Clarkson, there’s someone here to see you.”I blinked. “Someone?”“Yes, ma’am. She says she's an old friend of yours.”My brows arched. I couldn't think of anyone as far as I was concerned. “An old friend?”“Yes ma,” she concurred.My heartbeat kicked up, soft but steady. “Where is she?”“In the main li
