Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
Lauren’s hands trembled, the document—Last Will and Testament of Thomas Devon—clutched tightly, its words a betrayal she couldn’t fathom. Tom Devon, her Tom, had willed Orchid Enterprises to be sold, his fortune left to his mother, Helen Devon. Her tears brimmed, her heart splintering, Helen’s smirk in the conference room a cruel echo of her funeral accusations—slut, liar, cheat. The shareholders’ murmurs faded, their faces blurring as Lauren’s resolve crumbled.Something felt wrong, a nagging doubt whispering that Tom would never do this, but Helen’s voice—Tom was my son—was a wall she couldn’t breach. Defeated, she turned, her black silk dress rustling, her steps heavy as she left the boardroom, the glass doors closing behind her like a tomb.In the hallway, her breath hitched, her tears threatening as she stumbled, her shoulder brushing a figure. She glanced up, her eyes meeting Khalid, a senior engineer at Orchid Enterprises, his face etched with sorrow, his dark eyes heavy. La

Lauren’s breath caught in Alex’s hospital room, the television’s news anchor’s voice still ringing—Tom Devon’s company, Orchid Enterprises, is set to be sold. Her heart pounded, her tears brimming, the sting of Tom’s funeral, Helen Devon’s venomous accusations—slut, liar, cheat—and the strange pregnant woman’s gaze overshadowed by this new betrayal of Tom’s legacy. She fumbled for her phone, her fingers shaking, her voice urgent as she dialed Priya. “Priya, did you see the news? Orchid Enterprises—Tom’s company!”Priya’s voice crackled through, thick with panic. “Lauren, I saw it! It’s a mess!” Her words tumbled, frantic. “You need to get to the company now—things are going south, fast!” Her tone sharpened, her fear palpable. “Helen Devon’s here, tearing everything apart!”Lauren’s eyes widened, her hand clutching the phone, her voice trembling. “I can’t, Priya—Alex’s surgery!” She glanced at Alex, his face pale but resolute, his green eyes locked on hers. “It’s in seventeen hours, a

Lauren stood frozen in Alex’s hospital room, Dr. Lim’s words—70 percent chance of failure, legs amputated—a cold blade against the fragile hope sparked by Alex’s leg sensation. Alex’s face fell, his green eyes clouding with sorrow, his shoulders slumping against the pillows, the radiant smile from moments ago extinguished. Lauren’s heart ached, her tears brimming. She stepped forward, her hand reaching for his, her voice soft but resolute. “Alex, everything’s going to be okay. With every challenge, there's a risk. You're strong, you can fight this.”Alex shook his head, his fingers pulling away, his gaze dropping to the sheets, his voice a low murmur. “I’m not, Lauren. I can’t do the surgery.” His eyes glistened, his jaw tight, his words heavy with fear. “Seventy percent chance I’ll lose my legs forever? I’d rather stay paralyzed than face that.” He looked up, his face pale, his voice cold. “I can’t risk it, not when the odds are against me.”Lauren’s chest tightened, her eyes glist

Lauren’s heart pounded as she sped through road, Priya’s words—“Alex needs you urgently!”—a relentless drumbeat in her mind. The cemetery’s pain, Tom’s funeral, Helen’s venomous accusations—slut, liar, cheat—and the strange pregnant woman’s haunting gaze clung to her like a shadow. “Alex, what’s wrong?” she whispered, her voice raw, guilt over Tom’s death and their forbidden kiss a searing wound. “I can’t lose you too.” Her hands gripped the wheel, her baby’s kick a faint spark.She screeched into the hospital lot, her sob choking her as she sprinted inside, her heels clicking on the sterile floor. Nurses glanced up, their eyes wide, but Lauren ignored them, her voice a desperate cry. “Alex Magnus’s room—where is he?” A nurse pointed, her voice soft. “Room 312, Ms. Lauren.” Lauren’s tears fell, her heart racing as she stumbled down the hall. “Please, be okay,” she murmured, her hands trembling, the brooch in her pocket a silent reminder of her fight, her loss.She burst into Alex’s
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
Lauren stood in her penthouse, the black silk dress clinging to her small trembling frame, her reflection in the mirror a ghost of the woman she’d been. Tom’s funeral loomed, a final wound to her already shattered heart. Her fingers clutched the emerald pendant, her mother’s gift, as tears streamed down her face, the weight pressing down on her. She couldn't believe how she had lost two important people within six months. “Tom, how do I say goodbye?” she whispered, her voice raw. The forbidden kiss with Alex a poison in her soul. The guilt was too much. She had betrayed Tom in many ways, her heart betraying her. “I failed you, my love.”Priya knocked, her voice soft but urgent. “Lauren, it’s time. The car’s waiting.” Her eyes, red from crying, met Lauren’s, her hand reaching out. “You don’t have to do this alone.”Lauren’s sob tore free, her body shaking. “I can’t, Priya! I can’t face him… not like this!” She collapsed onto the velvet couch, tears soaking her dress, her hands clawing
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
Lauren’s scream ripped through Alex’s hospital room, her world imploding as Priya’s words—“Tom’s gone. He didn’t make it”—struck like a blade. Her knees buckled, her hands clawing the air, tears flooding her face. “No, no, NO!” she wailed, her voice raw, shattering the sterile silence. Alex’s arms reached for her, his face pale, but she stumbled back, her sob choking her. “Tom, my Tom!” Guilt crashed over her, the forbidden kiss with Alex a brand on her soul. “I killed him!” she screamed, her heart a bleeding wound, Priya’s tear-streaked face blurring before her.“Lauren, we have to go to him!” Priya cried, grabbing her arm, her voice trembling. “Come on, now!” But Lauren’s legs felt like lead, stuck to the ground, her body shaking, her emerald coat drenched in tears. “He’s dead, Priya!” she sobbed, her voice a broken wail. “Because of me! Because I brought this war, Melissa, Dan, all of it!” She clutched her belly, her baby’s kick a cruel pulse amidst her grief.Priya pulled her,
