JULIAN

My lips curled into a cold smile.

Originally, I thought the Laurents would prove useful. After all, Grandfather had always seemed to place considerable value on the engagement with their family, as evidenced by the tolerance and concessions he had granted them over the years.

And with Lucien now confined to a wheelchair and the Laurents being exactly the sort of people who chased benefits wherever they could find them, I judged there was an opportunity to turn the situation to my advanta

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 75: Epilogue

    HELENEA month had passed since my contract marriage with Lucien came to an end.In what felt like the blink of an eye, so much had changed.The most significant development, of course, was Lucien's complete recovery.He no longer needed a wheelchair.Even now, I could still vividly remember the first time I saw him standing in front of me, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit.He looked like the same Lucien I'd known for the past year, yet there was something undeniably different about him.Perhaps it was the way he carried himself. Or maybe it was the confidence that seemed to come naturally when he was standing on his own two feet.Whatever it was, a fully recovered Lucien was simply leagues ahead of the man I'd once watched navigate the world from a wheelchair.And I couldn't have been happier for him.Soon after his recovery, Lucien also managed to uncover the truth behind his accident.It hadn't been an accident at all.Marcus and Julian had conspired with the Morgans, one of th

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 74: Willing

    HELENEFor the entire duration of my long flight back to Solstice City, I remained in a constant state of anxiety. Even when I forced myself to take a nap, my sleep was filled with nightmares about something terrible having happened to Lucien.There was nothing I could do about it, though. Until I saw him with my own eyes, I knew I wouldn't be able to rest easy.Finally, after more than ten hours, the plane touched down at Solstice Airport.The first thing I did after landing was turn off airplane mode and check my phone for messages and missed calls from either Lucien or Adrian.There were several.The missed calls were from Lucien, while the message was from Adrian.The moment I read his text saying that nothing serious had happened and that Lucien was fine, the overwhelming relief nearly made my knees buckle. I clutched the handle of my suitcase to steady myself and took a moment to regain my balance.Adrian had also mentioned that they were already on their way home when he'd sent

    LUCIENDr. Hayes studied the scans on the monitor for a long moment before turning to face me."Mr. Blackthorne, I'll be direct with you. What we're seeing here has no straightforward clinical explanation."I sat in front of him with Adrian standing behind me, my brows instinctively furrowing as various possibilities flashed through my mind.“What do you mean?”Had my condition worsened?I turned the possibility over briefly, then pushed it aside and looked at Dr. Hayes's face instead.He looked solemn, but there was something else there too. A mixture of fascination, doubt, and amazement.It was as though he had encountered something he could hardly believe himself.“Have you undergone any form of treatment in the past few months?” he asked. “Anything at all.”“Nothing,” I said. “I've been either at home or at the office.”He nodded slowly, then looked back at the screen. His gaze returned to me a moment later before he let out a breath that sounded almost like a laugh—short, quiet,

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 72: Crisis

    HELENEThe moment the phone slipped from Lucien's hands and left me staring at the ceiling, I could no longer hold back the fear threatening to overwhelm me."Lucien!"I called his name again, but there was no reply.Only the faint, steady sound of his breathing reassured me that he was still there. It was the only thing keeping me from losing my composure entirely.The pallor of his face before the phone slipped from his grasp, the way he'd tried to reassure me despite the pain—both images kept replaying in my mind.Worse, I had no way of knowing whether he was still conscious.The more I thought about it, the colder my hands became.No.I shook my head sharply.I couldn't afford to panic. Lucien needed me now more than ever.With that thought, I forced myself to take one slow breath."Lucien, if you can hear me, stay with me." My voice came out less steady than I'd intended, and I let it. This was already the best I could manage. "I'm going to call Adrian. He'll be there soon. Just

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 71: Pain

    LUCIENI never imagined I was capable of missing someone with such intensity, but three weeks of Helene being in Country H had taught me just how wrong I'd been.It couldn't even compare to the time she'd gone to stay with her grandparents.That had been different.This time, we weren't separated by a few streets, but by countries, and somehow, that distance made her absence far more pronounced.Nights were the worst of it.Ever since I'd kissed her the night before her departure, I'd rarely managed to get through one without dreaming about her.Rubbing my aching temple, I glanced down at my watch.It was already well past closing time, yet I had no particular desire to return to an empty house.Then I remembered that our daily call would be in roughly two hours, and my mood brightened almost immediately.It seems I couldn't avoid going home after all.The corners of my lips lifted at the thought.Over the past three weeks, I'd learned something about Helene through our calls: she did

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 70: Kiss

    HELENEIf there was one person who was happiest about my business trip being postponed, it was undoubtedly Lucien.And he wasn't even trying to hide it.In fact, the moment I told him I would be staying behind, the way he tried—and ultimately failed—to contain his delight had been almost comical.But in the end, I didn't actually get to spend much time with him. I was busy at the studio, while he had the company to deal with.Still, over the next four days, he made a point of dropping me off at work every morning and picking me up every evening.Thanks to that, everyone at the studio soon knew that I was married.And, apparently, to Isabel's cousin at that.They teased me relentlessly about it until I had no choice but to put on a scowl and scare them into shutting up.Meanwhile, the Jordan situation had finally been resolved.After our lawyer forwarded the evidence to the other photographer's legal team, they quickly recognized that the entire matter had been a misunderstanding, with

    HELENE Rather than being stumped by my questions, Camille smiled.“I’ll answer your questions one by one,” she said calmly. “First—Lucien.”“You don’t want to marry him? But Helene, at the very least, you’re familiar with him. He’s cold, yes, but he’s also known to be a gentleman.”She tilted her

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 3: Camille

    HELENEOutside the house, I reached into my bag for my car keys and headed toward the garage.A fleet of flashy, expensive cars sat neatly parked beneath the lights—their sleek silhouettes polished to perfection. Among them, one stood out like a sore thumb—a gray Toyota Camry.Mine.I’d bought it w

    HELENEAmidst my confusion, I heard Camille speak.“From what I can remember, this engagement wasn’t originally supposed to fall upon Noemie. In fact, Lucien and Helene were the better match, with their ages being almost the same…”Her words Instantly pulled all of us back into old memories.Indeed

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 1: The Unwilling Fiancee

    HELENE“I refuse to marry that cripple! Whoever wants to marry him can, but it’s definitely not going to be me!”My younger sister, Noemie Laurent, sobbed in our mother’s arms, tears streaming freely down her face.I sat opposite them, my expression unchanged. Inwardly, however, I found the scene
