ISABEL

Watching the wine box disappear farther and farther away until it vanished completely from sight, I felt my heart shatter into tiny little pieces.

I had to use every ounce of self-control to stop myself from reaching out dramatically and screaming:

Don’t leave meee!

Fortunately—or unfortunately—a shred of common sense combined with Mom’s warning stare barely managed to preserve the last scraps of my dignity.

A moment later, I turned to look at Grandpa, who now sat comfortably in his armc

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 60: Seeking Her Out

    LUCIENThree days slipped by before I knew it.Ever since deciding to stop passively waiting for our relationship to progress on its own, I had begun making a conscious effort to change the way Helene and I interacted.Every morning before leaving for work, I'd send her a message, and every evening, I'd let her know when I got home.Whenever something mildly amusing happened during the day, I'd find myself telling her about it, even if it was nothing more than Adrian wearing a thoroughly resentful expression whenever I insisted on leaving the office on time.To my quiet delight, the effort hadn't been in vain.Helene gradually began replying more often.Sometimes she'd tell me what she had spent the day doing. Other times, she'd send me shots of her garden or the latest smoothie she'd made, asking which one looked more appealing or what I thought she should try making next.Our conversations remained simple, yet each one lasted a little longer than the last.It wasn't a dramatic chang

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 59: Grandparents' Arrival

    HELENEAfter hanging up the call, I remained standing by the window for a long while, watching the evening gradually settle over the quiet neighborhood before finally letting out a soft sigh.From Grandma's sudden declaration that she and Grandpa were returning to Solstice, to their arrival and the relentless questioning that followed, I had barely found a moment to gather my thoughts.Only after speaking with Lucien did something occur to me.Even though I had known from the moment Grandma announced they were coming that I wouldn't be returning to Monarch Park that night, it hadn't even crossed my mind to let him know beforehand.That was entirely my oversight.Whether our marriage was real or not had nothing to do with it. It was simply basic courtesy to let the person I was living with know I wouldn't be coming home for the night.Instead, he had been the one to call and ask where I was.The thought left me feeling even more apologetic than before.When I returned, I'd have to apol

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 58: Staying Out

    LUCIENAfter a busy, albeit rather uneventful day at work, I decided to leave right on time, much to Adrian's visible envy.As the car pulled away from Blackthorne Group, my thoughts drifted home almost immediately.More specifically, they drifted toward Helene.Over the past several days, although we hadn't spent every waking moment together, each of us keeping mostly to our own rooms or the study, there had always been the quiet comfort of knowing the other person was somewhere within the house.Habit truly was a frightening thing.Somewhere along the way, I had unconsciously grown accustomed to her presence. Throughout the workday, I found myself wondering what she might be doing.Had she spent the afternoon tending to her plants?Or perhaps she was in the kitchen experimenting with another smoothie recipe.The thought drew an involuntary smile from my lips.Perhaps she had noticed my absence today as well.After all, until this morning, there had always been the two of us beneath

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 57: Grandma's Fury

    HELENE"Sweetheart."Grandma's familiar voice came through the speaker, warm and reassuring as always."You haven't called for days. Is everything alright over there?""Everything's fine," I replied as I walked over to the sofa and sat down. "I've just been a little busy these past few days."The excuse sounded weak even to my own ears."I'm sorry. You must have been worried.""No need to apologize," Grandma said, though the relief in her voice was impossible to miss. "As long as you're alright."The guilt that hit me was almost overwhelming.Calling Grandma and Grandpa had always been part of my routine. No matter how busy I got, I checked in at least once every few days. Going nearly a week without contacting them was unusual enough that they had undoubtedly noticed.In fact, they had probably realized something was wrong long before now.Yet neither of them had called repeatedly demanding answers.Neither had pressured me.Looking back, they were likely giving me space because they

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 56: Home

    LUCIENAdrian's expression immediately turned serious."No."He shook his head."From everything I found, he's an ordinary employee. No suspicious financial activity. No personal connections to your uncle or cousin. No evidence they've ever crossed paths."The answer didn't surprise me.If Marcus and Julian truly had a connection with the Morgans, then they would never need direct contact with the journalist in the first place.All it would take was a word from his employer."Should I look into the Morgans?" Adrian asked. "See what they've been doing recently?"I was about to agree, then paused.A thought surfaced unexpectedly.Ever since the accident, one detail had continued to bother me.When I first began investigating Marcus and Julian, I had discovered a thread leading toward them.Nothing concrete or sufficient, but just enough to make me suspicious.What never made sense, however, was the execution itself.For all their ambition, neither Marcus nor Julian possessed the ability

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 55: Scaring Marcus

    LUCIENThe meeting itself was little more than a welcome-back event disguised as a briefing.After a short discussion regarding several ongoing projects, it quickly came to an end.I left first, with Adrian following a step behind me as we headed out beneath a variety of gazes.Not long after we returned to my office, a secretary knocked on the door and stepped inside."Mr. Blackthorne," he said. "Mr. Marcus Blackthorne is here to see you."I paused briefly before exchanging a glance with Adrian.How impatient."Let him in."A minute later, Marcus entered the office while Adrian excused himself temporarily.I gestured toward the chair opposite my desk."Please, sit."After he settled himself, I leaned back slightly and offered him a polite smile."I'm afraid my office still isn't quite in order after my absence, so I can't offer you anything at the moment."With the coffee machine sitting less than ten feet away, the statement was an outright lie, and both of us knew it.If Marcus had

    HELENEAfter taking a few sips of water, the coughing finally subsided.“Are you alright now?” Old Mr. Blackthorne asked, concern evident in his voice.“Yes, Mr. Blackthorne,” I replied somewhat sheepishly as I screwed the cap back onto the bottle before bending slightly to place it beside my chair

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 31 Husband

    HELENESeeing the bewilderment in Lucien’s eyes, a faint sense of embarrassment crept over me.To someone like me, there was hardly any place more irresistible than a room filled with thriving plants.From the moment we stepped into the sunroom, I had already been captivated.The warm air, the dens

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 29: Meeting the Blackthornes

    HELENEI had already expected that I wouldn’t be meeting just Lucien’s mother and grandfather. Still, the moment I stepped into the living room—at least twice the size of the Laurents’—I couldn’t help but feel taken aback.The entire Blackthorne family was here.Sebastian Blackthorne, Lucien’s gran

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 28: A Disarming Smile

    HELENEThe Blackthorne Estate sprawled across the hillside, stretching over acres as far as the eye could see—an unapologetic display of wealth and power.The car carrying Lucien and me passed through the towering iron gates before coming to a smooth stop at the main entrance.A line of staff stood
