Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Lauren’s heart pounded like a war drum, her forehead coated with a thin film of sweat, her breath ragged as Dan’s gun pressed icy against her temple, the velvet curtain of the Sky Lounge’s dark corner swallowing the distant chatter of Singapore’s elite. The city’s skyline glittered beyond the glass, a cruel contrast to the terror gripping her. Her five-month pregnant belly strained against her emerald gown, her hand clutching her purse, where Melissa’s note to Dan burned like a live wire, proof of her mother’s murder. Dan’s voice, a venomous hiss, cut through her fear. “You’re too nosy, Lauren. That letter was meant to rot in the dark. But I guess it doesn't matter anymore. You can't escape from me.”Her voice quaked, fury clashing with dread, her mother’s pale face haunting her. “You slaughtered my mom, Dan! You and Melissa—my own sister! You think I’ll bow to you?” Her tear-streaked eyes glared into his, defiance flickering despite the gun’s threat.Dan’s smirk twisted into a snarl

Lauren’s heart slammed against her ribs as she slipped through the brunch crowd at the Sky Lounge.Dan’s face—his cold smirk, his fingers typing on his phone—burned in her mind from moments ago at the venue’s edge. Now, in a dimly lit hallway leading to the restrooms, she froze. But there he was again, leaning against the wall, his eyes locking onto hers with that same intensity, that same chilling smirk curling his lips. Her hand tightened on her purse, her heart beating wildly against her chest, the fear gripping her almost paralyzing her. The letter inside—Melissa’s scrawled note to Dan: “I’ve paid the nurse. It takes just one heart attack.”—feeling like a bomb ready to detonate.She ducked into a corner, finding her way through a backdoor, finally coming out to a janitor's closet. Her five-month pregnant belly pressing against her emerald gown, as she fumbled for her cell phone, dialing Ethan with trembling fingers. “Ethan…Ethan it’s me,” she whispered, voice shaking. “Dan’s he

“Security, check the cameras now!” Lauren’s voice echoed in her hotel suite, her hands trembling as she stood amid the chaos—drawers yanked open, clothes strewn across the floor, her belongings violated. The letter was still safe in her purse, burning with its own discreet truth: Melissa and Dan’s role in her mother’s death.Lauren glared at the note pinned to her pillow—“You’re next”—sent ice through her veins. She knew Dan was closing in.The security guard, a burly man, shook his head. “Ms. McCarthy, no one’s on the footage. The locks didn't look like they were forced. Are you sure it wasn't someone from your close circle or__”Lauren’s voice rose, frantic. “You think I'm the one that trashed my room myself and forgot? You think I'm insane!” Lauren scoffed at the man, her eyes burning with rage. “Someone broke in, left this note! Find them, or I’m calling the police!” She waved the note, her five-month pregnant belly tightening with fear.“We’ll keep looking, ma’am,” he muttered, l

“Lauren, you’re shaking. What’s in that purse?” Priya’s voice was sharp, breaking her out of her thoughts as she stood in front of the bar, her hand still clutching the crumpled letter in front of her. Priya’s eyes narrowed at her, insinuating she knew that she was hiding something very important, as she cornered Lauren into a quiet alcove of the Sky Lounge, the party’s chatter fading behind them. The exotic skyline sparkled through the fragile looking glass, but Lauren’s focus was far from the city buzz, her gaze locked in the letter on the table, now in her purse—Melissa’s scrawled note to Dan: “I’ve paid the nurse. It takes just one heart attack.”It was what she had been searching for. What she had spent nights thinking over. But it was far from what she expected.She knew Melissa was bad, her half-sister hated her with everything in her. Melissa would do anything to see Lauren crumble, humiliate her at any slight giving chance, steal her away from her father's love, and steal he

“Lauren, are you sure about this party?” Lauren looked back to see Priya standing behind her, a solemn look on her face. Priya’s voice was soft, her eyes scanning Lauren’s face as they stood in the quiet of Orchid Enterprises’ office, the city's skyline glittering beyond the glass. “Tom’s been acting like you’re all-in, but you look like you’re carrying the world. I know you too well to know that you're worried about something.”Lauren gripped her desk, the diamond ring on her finger—Tom’s, that she had slipped on to hurt Alex—now felt like a heavy chain, too heavy to carry. “I’m not sure, Priya,” she admitted, voice low, her five-month pregnant belly a reminder of her lie. “I said the baby is Tom’s to crush Alex, and now Tom thinks I’ve said yes to his proposal. He’s planned this huge engagement party, and I… I’m in too deep. I don't know how to tell him the truth… I don't want to keep hurting him.” Her heart raced.Priya heaved a heavy sigh and set down her coffee, frowning. “In dee
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Lauren sat at her desk in Orchid Enterprises’ sleek Singapore office, the city’s skyline a glittering distraction through the glass walls. Five months pregnant with Alex’s child, she’d transformed into a sharp, confident executive assistant, her dark-dyed hair and tailored blazer masking the scars of her past. Yet, the gossip magazine Priya showed her yesterday—Alex in his wheelchair, holding hands with Melissa, the headline Billionaire’s Girlfriend Is Pregnant—had fractured her resolve. The image of Melissa’s smug smile fueled her rage, her vow for revenge against Alex, Melissa, and Dan burning hotter everyday she thought about it.Beyond all those, Tom’s proposal lingered in her mind, the diamond ring he’d left with her tucked deep in her purse. “If you decide, it’s yours,” he’d said, his voice steady but hopeful. She hadn’t answered him then, the answer almost felt impossible for her to decide. She was in a deep turmoil. Her heart was torn between Tom’s safety and Alex’s betrayal
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Lauren stood on the candlelit rooftop of Tom Devon’s Singapore penthouse, the city’s skyline a dazzling blur as Tom’s proposal hung in the air. The diamond ring in his hand sparkled, his eyes locked on hers with unwavering intensity. “Lauren, I love you. Marry me.” Those words still made her heart pound, a storm of gratitude, fear, and doubt swirling within. But the image of Alex and Melissa, kissing in that gossip magazine, burned holes her mind causing a sinking feeling in her chest, a fresh wound alongside her pregnancy—five months along with Alex’s child.Though Tom’s words were a lifeline, but her scars held her back. Could she leap into this, still legally bound to the man who’d shattered her?She took a shaky breath, her voice soft but firm. “Tom, I… I’m not sure I’m ready. I’m still married to Alex, legally, emotionally—it’s a mess. I want to say yes, but my heart’s tangled up in everything he did. The betrayal, the lies, Dan, Melissa…” She trailed off, her hand resting on he
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Lauren stood in Tom Devon’s sleek Singapore office, the city’s glittering skyline shimmering through floor-to-ceiling windows. Four months into her new life, she was no longer the shattered woman who’d fled Los Angeles. Her dark-dyed hair framed a sharper gaze, her scars had faded, and her pregnancy—five months along with Alex’s child—was a gentle curve beneath her tailored blazer. As Tom’s executive assistant at Orchid Enterprises, she’d mastered deals, power plays, and strategy, her mind honed for the revenge she’d sworn against Alex, Melissa, and Dan. Yet, her heart, still raw from Alex’s betrayal—his smile with Dan and Jake, his absence at La Belle Vie—wavered as Tom’s presence grew warmer, closer, stirring feelings she wasn’t ready to name.“Lauren, you’re such a natural,” Tom said, leaning against his desk, his tailored suit accentuating his broad shoulders. His smile was so easy, she felt herself smile too, but his eyes held a spark that made her pulse quicken. “That Shanghai
Cripple Billionaire Husband CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Lauren stood in Alex’s sleek office, her heart hammering as Melissa’s words sliced through her: “Waiting for my boyfriend, Alex.” Her stepsister’s smirk was a spark to Lauren’s rage, her pregnancy a secret anchor fueling her resolve. She’d flown from Singapore to Los Angeles to tell Alex about their child, to give him a chance, but finding Melissa in his chair—claiming him— felt like a slice to an old wound. He’s still with her. But she wasn’t leaving without facing him. Not today.“Get out of his chair,” Lauren snapped, voice low, lethal. “I’m here for Alex, not for your lies. Where is he?”Melissa laughed, twirling a lock of hair, her red dress a taunt against the office’s cold steel. “Oh, Lauren, still chasing ghosts? You’re so pathetic. Alex is mine, you should get acquainted with the news. He’s in a meeting though, probably planning our next date. Run along— but remember, you’re nothing to him,” she said letting out a bitter chuckle.Lauren stepped closer, eyes blazing. “You’re
