"I'm sorry, but we have to take back our support," one of the investors said in a cold, almost clinical voice. He didn't look at James while he talked; instead, he kept his eyes on the paper in front of him. "Your company's good name has been hurt. We can't put our own lives at danger.

James felt his face get pale. The words hit him like a punch to the gut, but he wouldn't let them see that he was weak. Not now, not in front of them. He had fought too hard to let it all fall apart.

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    120: Simeon Finds a Hidden Folder

    Simeon’s small fingers tapped on the tablet screen, trying to help his mother, Mimi, navigate through her endless emails. She had been stressed lately, buried under more business deals than she could handle, and now he was trying to ease her load. He scrolled through the apps until something caught his eye: a folder labeled “Project Lazarus.”His curiosity piqued, he hesitated. The folder seemed out of place, hidden deep in the tablet’s storage.“Mimi never mentioned this,” he muttered under his breath, a chill running down his spine.His heart raced, but something kept him from simply closing the tablet. He hovered his finger over the folder, uncertainty flooding him. He thought about telling Mimi, but then again, wasn’t it his responsibility to protect her?He opened the folder.The screen flickered for a second, and he froze. The tablet hesitated as if fighting against him, the words slowly materializing in front of his eyes. The file names looked cryptic: “Stage One: Data Intercep

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    119: Elias Manipulates the Media

    “And in breaking news, Mimi Rayne, the CEO of Silent Horizons, is being accused of corporate espionage. Allegedly, Rayne has stolen the intellectual property from CrossCorp, using it to propel her own company to success.”Mimi’s fingers curled into fists. She stared at the screen, watching as Elias Stone’s face appeared next to the reporter, his expression smug and calculated.“Let’s not forget,” Elias’s voice rang through the living room, “that Silent Horizons is built on ideas that don’t belong to her. The success she’s claimed is nothing but a lie, stolen from CrossCorp’s hard work. It’s time for the truth to come out.”Her breath caught in her throat. She felt the walls of her own home closing in, as if everything she had worked for was being shattered in an instant.Jaxon, standing beside her, could see the panic in her eyes. “Don’t let him get to you, Mimi,” he said, his voice strained, though his jaw was clenched tight. “We’ll fight back.”But Mimi couldn’t shake the feeling th

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    118: Lyra Uncovers a Shell Company

    Lyra sat hunched over her desk, the dim light of her office casting long shadows across stacks of papers. She had spent hours poring over financial documents, her eyes scanning for something, anything, that might shed light on Elias Stone’s connection to James. The more she uncovered, the more she realized the depth of their collaboration — and the true scale of their manipulation.Her heart raced as she uncovered a series of financial transactions, each one more damning than the last. A shell company had been funneling money directly to James, and the accounts linked back to Elias’s business front.She muttered to herself, “This is it... this is the smoking gun.”With a trembling hand, Lyra clicked open the encrypted file. The numbers were so clean, so perfectly masked, but there was no mistaking it — Elias’s fingerprints were all over it. The accounts were tied to a secret shell company, its transactions deliberately hidden behind layers of false identities. The man was clever, too

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    117: Mimi Grows Paranoid

    Mimi sat at her desk, her hands trembling as she gazed at the papers in front of her. The office felt too quiet, too still. The weight of everything pressing down on her — the scandal, the threats, and the constant feeling of being watched — seemed to have merged into one heavy, suffocating cloud.Her mind wandered, unwilling to stay on one thought for too long. Flashbacks of past mistakes, betrayals, and unresolved fears flickered like shadows in the corners of her mind.Suddenly, a creak from the hallway broke her concentration. Mimi froze, her heart leaping into her throat. She listened, her breath shallow, waiting for another sound. Nothing.She pushed her chair back, walking cautiously toward the door. Her footsteps felt too loud in the silence. As she opened the door, she peered into the hallway. Empty. The house was quiet. She stepped back inside, shaking her head.But then, the faintest scent reached her — something burning. A faint, sharp smell like paper or fabric. Mimi’s pu

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    116: Simeon is Almost Kidnapped Again

    Simeon walked briskly down the street, his backpack bouncing against his back. He was late, as usual, but he didn’t mind—school was over, and his thoughts were already on the comfort of home. But as he rounded the corner, a cold hand shot out from the shadows, grabbing his arm with terrifying strength.His heart slammed in his chest. Panic clawed at his throat as he struggled to break free. The grip tightened.“Let me go!” he screamed, but the voice caught in his throat. A masked figure stood before him, dragging him toward the alley. Fear surged through him, and his pulse hammered in his ears.He kicked and twisted, desperate to get away, but the figure was too strong, his body too firm. He couldn’t even see his face, only the cold, dark mask obscuring it.“No! Please—let me go!” he begged, but the figure didn’t answer.Just as Simeon’s legs started to buckle under the pressure, a loud shout split the air.“Get your hands off him!”In a blur of motion, Jaxon appeared from the end of

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    115: Investors Pull Out of Silent Horizons

    “Ladies and gentlemen, as much as we value your trust, the current situation is untenable,” one investor, Peter Reynolds, said coldly, shaking his head. “CrossCorp’s accusations have made our position untenable. We cannot continue to support a company embroiled in this scandal.”Mimi could feel the weight of the room, the collective eyes on her, watching for any sign of weakness. Her heart pounded, but she held her ground.“We’ve built this company on innovation, on trust, and on honesty,” she said, her voice steady despite the growing pressure. “I promise you, the allegations against me are false. Silent Horizons has a bright future, but we need your support to weather this storm.”A murmur rippled through the room. Another investor, Laura Finch, cleared her throat. “The world is watching, Mimi. This isn’t just a business deal—it’s a personal crisis now. If you can’t fix this, we’ll be forced to withdraw our support.”Her words hit like a slap to the face. Mimi’s stomach churned, but

    "Damon," she said softly as the phone rang. The line clicked as it connected, and she held her breath while she waited. The quiet on the other end of the line made her heart race. "Damon, it's me," she whispered, her voice so low that it was hard to hear. "I need your help." There was a pause, an
