Arlene's POV

After breakfast, Arlene eventually returned to her room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I remained by the window for a while, watching her disappear into the hallway before finally wheeling myself back towards my desk.

Her words from earlier kept replaying in my mind:

“Maybe you can work on making that possible soon enough.”

I had spent years refusing to even consider it, yet somehow, hearing her say it so casually had made the idea feel less impossible.

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 43

    Arlene's POV I was still asleep when someone knocked gently on my door. I groaned and pulled the blanket closer around myself, hoping whoever it was would go away. I had barely slept the previous night, and even when I finally managed to close my eyes, my mind had refused to quiet down. I hated how much the events of last night had affected me, and I hated even more that I had allowed myself to leave dinner looking like a jealous wife.Another knock came, "Ma'am Arlene?"I opened my eyes, wondering why Cheryl was knocking at this early hour of the morning. I just hope another drama won't be starred today."Come in."The door opened and Cheryl stepped inside, "Good morning, Ma'am.” "Good morning," I mumbled, sitting up slowly.She looked at me for a moment before speaking."Seraphina wants to see you. She's downstairs.”My brows furrowed and I pulled the blanket to cover my face. Oh no, not this morning.I glanced towards the clock, it's barely 7am. "Why?""She didn't say. She only

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 42

    Simone's POVI couldn't stop thinking about the look on Arlene's face as she walked away from the dining room.There had been something in her eyes that I couldn't quite explain, something between anger and hurt, and the fact that she had refused to stop when I called her name left an unpleasant weight in my chest.I glanced at Seraphina as she continued wheeling me towards my room, seemingly unaffected by what had just happened."What was that?"She looked down at me innocently. "What?"I turned my wheelchair slightly so I could look at her properly."What you did at dinner."She frowned. "I was only trying to help you.""No, you weren't…” My voice was colder than I intended, but I didn't care. "You deliberately interrupted me every time I tried to speak to Arlene. You kept touching me, calling me names I haven't heard you call me in years, and then you tried to feed me after I told you I didn't want you to."Seraphina's expression hardened, "I was joking. You can't even take a joke?

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 41

    Arlene's POV I tried not to think about Seraphina for the rest of the evening. After Judith had taken the luggage upstairs, I returned to my room and spent the remaining hours trying to convince myself that her arrival shouldn't matter to me. She was only an old acquaintance of Simone's, someone who had happened to come to the estate because her car had broken down. There was no reason for me to feel uncomfortable about it, and certainly no reason for me to be jealous.Except that every time I closed my eyes, I could still picture the way she had greeted Simone with the kiss on his cheeks, the familiarity in her voice. The way she had taken control of his wheelchair without even asking me.And, most irritatingly, the way Simone had simply allowed her to do it.I was sitting on my bed that evening when I heard laughter coming from somewhere down the hallway. It was obviously Seraphina's laughter. Her voice carried easily through the mansion, followed by Simone's deeper voice saying

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 40

    Arlene's POV I placed my hands on the handles of Simone's wheelchair and began pushing him towards the door, still wondering what he wanted to show me. The moment we stepped outside, the cool evening breeze brushed against my face, carrying the faint scent of flowers from the garden. The sun was beginning to sink, painting the sky with shades of orange and gold, and for the first time that day, I felt some of the tension inside me ease."I think we should leave the house entirely," I suggested. "We could go somewhere nearby and watch the sunset properly. You said you wanted me to see something, so maybe we could find somewhere nice outside."Simone glanced back at me with a faint smile, "I was actually thinking…”He stopped when the sound of the mansion gates opening interrupted him. I looked towards the entrance.A black luxury car had just pulled into the compound, and the sight immediately caught my attention because visitors rarely came to the estate without someone informing us

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 39

    Arlene's POV The entry continued,"I pray Simone never finds out about any of this. He is too young, and I don't want him growing up believing that his father never wanted him or that his family was falling apart because of him. I want to protect him for as long as I can.""I've made up my mind. I cannot stay here forever. One day, I will take Simone away from this house. Somewhere Theodore cannot reach us. Somewhere my son can grow up without constantly looking over his shoulder.""I have started saving money. I will save as much as I possibly can. If the day comes when I have to leave, I need enough to take care of Simone and myself. I don't know when that day will come, but I need to be prepared."So Simone's mother had actually planned to leave and take him away with her. I looked down at the journal, suddenly feeling as though I had stumbled upon something I had no right to know.Simone had told me about his childhood, his father, his mother's depression and the accident. But he

  • My Disabled Billionaire Husband    Chapter 38

    Arlene's POV I was still lying in bed when I heard a knock on my door that morning. I expected Cheryl, perhaps with breakfast, but when the door opened, Judith appeared with the brightest smile I had seen on her face in a long time.Before I could even ask what was wrong with her, she walked straight towards me and pulled me into a hug."Finally!"I laughed in surprise, gently pushing her away so I could look at her face, "Finally what?""Simone wants to walk again!"For a moment, I simply stared at her, pretending like I didn't know what she was on about."He really said that?""Yes." She grabbed both my hands and squeezed them. "He told Dr. Gregory that he wants to start working towards walking again. Do you understand what that means? After all these years, he is finally willing to try."A smile slowly spread across my face, "He really wants to? That's exciting to know.”"Yes, and I know you had something to do with it."I shook my head immediately. "No, Judith. He made that decis
