Mimi sat across from a panel of investors, the weight of their scrutiny hanging thick in the air. The new, sleek conference room was really cold, and when the inquiries started, she could hear the ice in their voices.

One investor, a tall man in his fifties, adjusted his glasses before commenting. "Mimi, we like the way you see Silent Horizons. But the question still stands: how does your past with CrossCorp damage your credibility now? The media has been unrelenting.

Mimi leaned forward, her heart thumping. She was ready for this, yet it still hurt. "I get why you're worried," she continued, her voice firm but full of determination. "But Silent Horizons isn't about my history. It's about what I can make in the future. This is my moment to make a difference, not only for me, but for the people who have been ignored for too long.

A other investor, a woman with small, pointed features, squinted her eyes. But it's not that easy, is it? Your identity has been dragged through the mud, b

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    103:Simeon’s Nightmares

    A knock on the door interrupted his spiral. Jaxon stepped inside, his face lined with concern. “You okay, man?”Simeon turned sharply, his eyes wide, frantic. “No, Jaxon. Something’s wrong. I—” He stopped, shaking his head as if trying to clear the thoughts from his mind. “I keep seeing him, Jaxon. Damon’s face, his eyes. He’s still watching me. Watching us.”Jaxon frowned, crossing the room to sit beside him. “Simeon, we’ve been over this. The nightmares, they’re just that—nightmares. You’ve been through hell, but it’s time to move on. We all have to.”“No!” Simeon’s voice was sharp, panicked. “I’m telling you, it’s not just in my head. This—this isn’t just a nightmare. It’s real, Jaxon. He’s coming for us.”Jaxon put a hand on his friend’s shoulder, his voice steady, though laced with doubt. “Listen to me. You’ve been through so much. But you’re not alone in this. We’re here, and we’ll get through it together.”Simeon took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, but the unease woul

    “You’re going to crush it out there,” Jaxon whispered, placing a hand on her shoulder. His voice was low, but it held the same warmth that had kept her grounded through all the chaos.Mimi nodded, forcing a smile. “I have to. For them. For us.”Her thoughts swirled with the weight of the task ahead. She glanced at Jaxon, her fingers brushing his hand. He was her anchor, the only thing keeping her steady. They had come this far, despite the shadows of their past.When her name was called, Mimi took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The crowd’s murmurs grew louder, and for a brief moment, her legs felt unsteady. But she squared her shoulders and walked toward the podium.“Mimi Rayne,” the announcer’s voice boomed, “Founder of Silent Horizons. A leader in accessibility technology.”The applause was warm but fleeting, the crowd’s attention shifting to her. She lifted the microphone, her hands trembling slightly.“Thank you,” she began, her voice clear and strong. “Silent Horizons

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    101:Six Months After Damon’s Death

    Mimi shifted slightly, her fingers gently tracing the rim of her coffee cup, the warmth of the porcelain a small comfort in her hands. "It’s beautiful," she whispered, the words barely escaping her lips.Jaxon’s gaze remained fixed on the horizon, his jaw tight. “Yeah. But something’s off. I can’t shake the feeling that we’re being watched.” His voice was low, almost a growl, as though he had been thinking the same thing for days.Mimi didn’t answer right away. Her mind wandered to Damon. Six months had passed since that night — the night the man who had once been her closest ally in the corporate world, and more, had been taken from her. She had buried him, but the shadow of his death loomed like a thick fog that wouldn’t lift. The grief still lingered, even now.“We’re fine,” she said, her voice steady but hollow. “We’ve built something. You and me. And we’ve made it work. It’s just...the past. It doesn’t let go.”Jaxon turned to her then, his eyes softening. He took her hand, his t

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Hundred:Simeon Calls Jaxon “Dad” for the First Time

    Jaxon knelt on one knee in front of him, his large figure filling the room and shadows hanging to his jaw's hard features. He whispered softly, "You don't have to be scared anymore." His voice had a steady, heavy weight. Simeon's lips shook. The room was quiet for a long time. Then, in a voice so faint it almost shattered, he said, "Dad." The air became cold. Mimi's palm rushed to her mouth, and tears fell before she could stop them. The word lingered in her mind: fragile, unproven, and heavier than any promise she had ever heard. Jaxon's chest went up quickly. For a moment, the tough man appeared like he was going to fall apart, as if the ground had moved beneath him. He stretched out, and his fingers shook as it touched the boy's shoulder. "You mean that?" His voice broke, without warning. Simeon nodded, and a small smile broke through. "Yeah... Dad." Mimi couldn't help but cry then, shielding her face as the sound of that word—so normal, so awful—washed over her. Jaxon's mo

    He said, "Mimi," his voice rough. "We've made it through Damon. We have fought through every darkness he left behind. I can't— He stopped himself and moved closer. His hand stroked hers, shaking yet firm. "I can't go another day without making this clear." She turned, her eyes wide and her lips parted, but no sound came out. He knelt down, the city gleaming behind him. His dark suit was wrinkled, and his face was bare. He took a tiny package out of his pocket. The diamond inside sparkled like a piece of fire. "Get married to me." Not because it's safe or because the world demands it, but because I'll stand by you, fight with you, and love you until we've burned every ghost between us. Her throat got constricted. Tears filled her eyes, making it hard to see the guy who had helped her through storms. "Jaxon..." Her voice broke, and her body shook. "We've already lost so much." "What if it happens again?" He stood up and held her face in his rough hands. "Then we both lose. But I'll

    "Mrs. Cross," the prosecutor's voice rang, "tell the court what you witnessed inside CrossCorp." Her throat was tight, but she made herself speak in a calm voice. "I saw them make up paperwork. I observed accounts emptied out into banks in other countries. Damon planned everything, but James—she hesitated for a moment—James made it happen. He ignored every warning and every request to quit. People in the gallery gasped. Mimi's comments hit like stones, heavy and irrefutable. "Did you talk to him?" "I begged him," she murmured, her voice breaking with the memories. "He said it was for survival." But greed took over survival. And greed turned into ruin. James eventually looked up, his eyes crimson around the edges, begging her without saying a word. Mimi's chest hurt, but she didn't move. The lawyer for the defence jumped up. "Objection, Your Honour!" Emotional guesswork. "She's making herself out to be a moral saint while tearing down her husband to get back at him." The judge's
