Scarlett murmured effortlessly, her voice like silk but with a sting beneath. Still, I guess it's destiny.

Mimi's jaw tightened. Standing in front of Scarlett, Mimi refused to exhibit any weakness and straightened up. What do you wish?

Scarlett's smile turned to one that didn't show in her eyes. What I want is unimportant, darling. The issue here is what you desire. She lowered her voice and leaned in just a little. I'm sorry, but you seem to be in over your head.

Mimi's instincts were screaming at her to run, and she felt her heart skip a beat. She remained her ground, nevertheless, and would not give in. "I'm not afraid of you," she murmured, pushing the words out despite the discomfort that ran down her back.

"Really?" Scarlett pondered, her eyes sparkling with mirth. You ought to be.

Before Mimi could answer, Scarlett's grin grew and she turned, striding back towards the car with an air of finality.

Mimi, you will soon see. You are not in charge here. Not yet. She then got b

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-Eight: Abduction

    Jaxon typed furiously on his keyboard, the blue glow of his computer throwing a faint light on his face. Every step took him to an abandoned warehouse on the city's outskirts, tucked away in a lost industrial sector, he had tracked the source of the call. "Got you," he said, his eyes combing the specifics on his screen. This was the last fight, the location where all would either finish or erupt into disorder. Mimi's name appeared on the screen as his phone buzzed on the desk. The gravity of the scenario bearing down on him made him pause before responding. Mimi had already experienced enough. Jaxon remarked, his voice firm, "We have a site." A former storehouse on the outskirts of town. The coordinates are being sent to you right now. Stay put; I'll put together a team. Mimi's voice broke across the line. Jaxon, no. I'm not sitting about. I'm going with you. I must. Feeling the moment's strain rise, Jaxon gritted his teeth. Mimi, this is larger than you. I cannot let you endange

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-Seven: Abduction

    Mimi sat in her kitchen, shaking as the phone vibrated again. Scarlett's name appeared on the screen, and dread pooled in her stomach. "What do you want now?" Scarlett's voice was a controlled, vicious whisper, like a puppeteer tugging on strings. Mimi, I've already said what's at stake here. Keep quiet; everything will be alright. Disobey me and I'll make sure Simeon is never seen again. Her knuckles white, Mimi held the phone closer. You are not telling the truth. I will not surrender to you. Scarlett chuckled, her voice chilly and hollow. "You believe you have a say?" I now run everything. You will never see him again unless I let it. You are too late to remedy anything. Mimi's heart beat in her bosom. "You can't do this," she said quietly, her world appearing to shatter. You are not allowed to take him away from me. Scarlett's voice fell even lower, oozing contempt. Mimi, you are not in charge. You never have been. Remain quiet and help. Your only option is to say that. Tear

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-six:The kidnapping

    Mimi's phone buzzed on the kitchen counter, interrupting the silence. Looking over, her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the message appearing from an unidentified number. Trembling hands made her swipe the screen to start the video. Her breath caught as the video began. Simeon sat there, his little body bound to a chair, gagged, and clearly afraid in the dark light of an unknown room. His eyes were large, frantic, and full of dread. Though she couldn't pull herself away from the TV, tears filled her eyes. The message in the video was chilling: "If you want him back, you must obey." The room spun around her, the walls seeming to close in. Clutching the phone to her chest, Mimi's hands trembled. The reality of what she was witnessing was nearly too much to grasp. Her kid, her son, was in peril. "No!" Mimi said, her voice almost inaudible and her eyes fixed on the television. "What have they done to him?" She shut her eyes for a second, attempting to absorb the tragedy playing o

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-five: Handle The Problem

    "Scarlett, you're taking too long," Damon said softly but firmly. Walking towards her, the offensive smell of his cologne filling the space. His steps were purposeful, like a predator closing in on its meal. Scarlett set her teeth. I am trying my best. Damon, perfection cannot be rushed. He stopped just before her, his shadow covering her. The clock is ticking. Leaning forward, he let his breath brush against her ear. You have already got plenty of chances. You know what is at stake here. Her heart quickened. Though Damon was impatient, she had wanted to put off this time. She had no choice but to move now. Scarlett murmured, her voice steady despite the storm within, "I'll handle it, Damon." All I want is more time. Damon's eyes narrowed with impatience. Scarlett, should you be unable to do it, I'll find another person who can. His voice growing annoying, he came even nearer. This is your last chance to... Don't blow it. Swallowing hard, she let fear consume her insides. Her wo

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-four: Struggles With Guilt

    James reclined in his office chair, the burden of his thoughts heavier than ever. The sterile white walls of his penthouse appeared to shut in on him, and for a brief minute, he could hear only the hammering of his own heart. Reaching for a glass of water, his hand shook so violently that he spilt it all over his desk. "God, what have I done?" He spoke almost inaudibly. Mimi and Simeon. Every passing day made the family he had once believed in, the life he thought he could save, all seem to drift further away. Scarlett's hold on him grew tighter, often reminding him of his shortcomings. The false promises, the engagement; it was all starting to overwhelm him. His mind kept returning to the one that had started everything rolling. The time he had choose to be quiet. Knowing full well it would cost him everything, he accepted Scarlett into his life. Why did I let this occur? James grumbled, massaging his eyes. Unlocking his phone with trembling hands, he went for it and skimmed thr

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-Three:The Confrontation

    "James," she said, her voice silky yet subtly poisonous, "You've been stalling long enough." James shifted uncomfortably in his chair, the leather cracking under him. Avoiding her stare, he focused on the boardroom table's smooth surface. Though it didn't help, he knew just what this meeting was about. The shame he felt from his shattered relationship with Mimi and the labyrinth of emotions consuming his life ate at him. Scarlett made him feel crushed by the burden of his choices. "Scarlett, I'm not ready," he murmured, his voice scratchy and his words heavy with hesitation. You know my opinion. Scarlett's lips twisted into a seductive, hungry grin. James, you have no option. Moving closer, her eyes narrowed and her voice fell to a whisper. You marry me now or everything you have laboured for will fall apart. CrossCorp, the empire you have constructed... it all boils down to this. The words struck James like a slap, causing him to tighten his jaw. Though the city view did nothing

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-Two:The Text

    Jaxon sat back in his chair, fingers lingering over the keyboard. Flickering, the weak light from the computer screen projected lengthy shadows on the walls of the little room. Scrolling through the financial papers Mimi had given him, he furrowed his brow in focus. The more he investigated the shell firms connected to Scarlett and Damon, the more obvious it seemed that this was not only about concealing money. It was a deliberately built network meant for something far darker. His gaze flitted around the screens absorbing the intricate business systems. Familiar from years of labour in high-stakes banking systems, he knew the names. But these were unique. On the surface, the businesses seemed legitimate—real estate holdings, computer enterprises, even some genuine charities—but closer investigation uncovered something far more nefarious. Every road returned to two names: Damon Cole and Scarlett Westmore. Jaxon said, "This is enormous," as he moved closer to the screen. In the still

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty-one:The Hidden Truth

    Mimi's hands trembled slightly as she scanned the financial documents on her laptop. The black room surrounding her appeared to shut in, the only illumination from the television in front of her. She had always believed CrossCorp to be real, to maintain morals and corporate ethics. The documents before her told a different tale. She stopped, eyes narrowing. Many offshore accounts. Large amounts of money changing hands between accounts. Names she didn’t know, but one thing was obvious: it wasn’t typical corporate activity. No, this was something unlawful, something considerably deeper. Leaning closer, she looked over the transactions; the dates all matched important CrossCorp deals. Then her heart almost stopped. Damon Cole and Scarlett Westmore. Two names she had never linked with CrossCorp's formal activities, but here they were, side by side. Their names were connected to several transactions, large sums of money that obviously didn't fit in the normal office records. The system

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    Chapter Thirty: Lyra's Warning

    Mimi sat across from Lyra in the quiet corner of their favorite café, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. The familiar hum of conversation around them felt distant, as if it was all happening in another world. Her own world, the one that had been slowly unraveling, was much too real now.She exhaled sharply, a mix of frustration and fear spilling out as she recounted everything she'd uncovered about CrossCorp, James, and Damon. Lyra listened intently, her dark eyes never leaving Mimi's face, as though she could see the weight of the situation settling on her."James... Damon... they’re all connected, aren’t they?" Mimi asked, her voice trembling slightly. "This isn’t just about Simeon. It’s bigger."Lyra nodded, her fingers tapping lightly on her napkin. "I’ve warned you about Damon before. He’s dangerous. You can’t trust him. The man doesn’t care who he has to step on to get what he wants."Mimi bit her lip, trying to make sense of it all. "But I don’t know what
