MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 124: Evelyn's Gamble.
The wine glass trembled slightly in Evelyn’s hand as she waited in the dimly lit lounge of James Ferguson’s private estate. The soft ticking of the grandfather clock was the only sound in the room. It had been days since her release, and in that time, her world had shifted into something grotesquely unfamiliar. Her relationship with Derek can be described as strained.He barely looked at her and spoke to her, unless she does.She bad not seen her daughter since she cane back.James had told them she was being attended to in a mental institution.He did not tell them the location and spoke like he wanted them to know.She and Derek had also been too disoriented to ask.Evelyn was a woman used to control. To power. To having answers before questions were asked.Now, she had none.The door opened smoothly. James entered with his usual charisma wrapped in tailored black, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp as razors.“You came,” he said, voice soft yet mocking. “I was not su
MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 123: Devian's Decision.
Few days after Derek and Evelyn were released, Devian was finally released.Ciel had captured him alongside Derek and Evelyn as a collateral then.But he also decided he was no more a threat.His time in detention should have been enough to teach him a lesson.Aside his businesses he lost, now he would know better than to mess with Ciel and Roxanne.He found his way back to his father's mansion after his release.The house was silent and he felt like his family had moved out.The usual ambience was not always this quiet.He knew his absence would have caused a lot of commotion.And now that he is back, he was hoping his return would be joyous.Especially when they see him.But now, everything was looking grim.He walked slowly up the path that leads to the house, as each step felt heavier than the last.The grandeur of the mansion felt hollow, even though it still looks imposing.It was not the home he remembered.Right now, it looks more like a shell of pride and past glory.The door
MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 122: Derek's Confused Mind.
After James left, Derek had been sober.For the first time in many years, he wandered through his house with heavy heart.For the past few weeks, he had been held captive, but now, he was free.But for some reasons, the wight on his shoulders felt more heavier than ever.As he stood in the hallway, the distant ticking of the clock echoed through the house like a countdown to something he was not sure he could face.Everything felt different. The light did not shine the same way through the windows. The warmth of the place was gone, stripped away by betrayal, regret, and the unbearable truth.He moved slowly through the foyer, his steps heavy with uncertainty. On the far wall hung a series of framed pictures.The ones he had passed a thousand times but never truly looked at.His eyes locked on a small photo tucked near the edge. It was old, faded at the corners, but unmistakable.It was that of Roxanne.She was barely five years old when the picture was taken.Her smile was angelic.
MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 121: The Mental Institution.
On the outskirts of the city, an isolated building, almost like a safe house, stood.They sky above hung low with soem thick gray clouds, which cast a somber hue over the building.It was the institution where mentally ill people are kept and being catered for.It was the place Reina had been brought to few weeks earlier when she broke down.The weight of everything was too much for her, and with the absence of her parents, she lost her drive and it affected her.James had wasted no time in rescuing her and bringing her here.It was the least he could do since he realized she was his daughter.The iron gates to the building creaked loudly , and opened to allow a black car enter in silently.James Ferguson was sitting in the black car, looking composed.He had a firm expression on as his fingers tap the armrest in a rhythmic manner.The car came to a stop, and the driver stepped out, opening the door. James adjusted the cuffs of his tailored coat and stepped into the cold air, the sce

The taxi pulled over in front of the house.Derek and Evelyn came out slowly with heavy emotions on their face.Luckily for them, Derek had some rumpled notes from months ago in his pocket, with which he paid the cab man.And off he sped.Leaving Derek and Evelyn.Isolated.They were two broken figures, their pride gone.They went in.The whole house was silent.Looking at it, there seems to be no one around.The maids must have left when their bosses disappeared.Evelyn stared out the window at the overcast sky, her hands wrapped tightly around a cup of untouched tea. Derek sat across from her, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor as though the answers to his life’s ruin might appear in the carpet fibers.The doorbell rang.Evelyn stiffened."Expecting anyone?" Derek asked, his voice brittle from not talking.She shook her head slowly. Derek stood and approached the door cautiously. When he opened it, the last person he expected to see stood on the porch, flanked by two suite
MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 119: The Aftermath if Freedom.
It was barely afternoon when a black SUV pulled over to a quiet stop at the edge of the city one day.The gravel crunched beneath it's tires as it screeched to a stop.The door opened and two figures came out slowly.They were Derek and Evelyn.They were both silent.It has been exactly two months since they were taken into custody by Ciel's private security team.They had been isolated in different cells.No contact with one another and with the outside world.They had thought they had no chance at forgiveness, and redemption.Until today, which was rather unexpected.Derek looked thinner, the weight of his sins having carved hollows into his cheeks. His once-confident stance now sagged with uncertainty. Evelyn, usually poised and sharp-tongued, looked weary, as though her guilt had aged her ten years.The doors of the SUV slammed shut behind them, startling them both. A single security agent nodded at them before turning his attention to the road."You're free to go. You've serve
