Simeon's heart raced as he crouched behind the old, rusty vending machine. He could still hear his mother's sobs, and the sound of Jaxon's desperate fight with Damon made him even more nervous. He had to get going. He knew he couldn't let them down. His small hands shook as he held on to the edge of the machine, but he was determined.

No one was there. Not that he could see, though. The fading casino's shadows seemed to wrap about him like a heavy cloak. His legs, which were stiff from squatting, yelled for him to move.

He took a deep breath and quickly moved to the side, moving through the broken lanes of the casino with a quickness that startled even him. His shoes made hardly little noise on the dusty floor. He didn't notice the sound of old slot machines and broken glass underfoot since he was so concentrated on getting to the exit.

As he got to the hallway that led to the back, his mind raced. Jaxon had always advised him to listen to his gut and keep quiet when it was importa

  • 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

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    114:James’s Press Conference

    “Ladies and gentlemen,” James said, his smile cold, “Mimi Rayne has stolen from CrossCorp. She’s been involved in corporate espionage, using underhanded tactics to undermine the very foundation of our company.”Mimi felt the blood drain from her face. She looked at Jaxon, who was standing beside her, his jaw clenched. His silence spoke volumes, his eyes narrowing with an intensity she had never seen before.“Mimi…” he muttered, his voice strained. “He’s framing you. This is worse than we thought.”Mimi’s heart raced as she watched the crowd’s reaction, flashes from cameras illuminating James’s smug face. He was orchestrating this. The media was hanging on every word, and she could already see the headlines. Mimi Rayne: Corporate Thief.“I’ve already contacted the authorities,” James continued, his words dripping with malice. “We will stop at nothing to protect the integrity of CrossCorp.”Jaxon grabbed Mimi’s arm, his grip tight. “We need to act fast. This isn’t just about a lawsuit a

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    113: Jaxon Digs Into Elias’s Past

    Mimi entered the room, her footsteps hesitant. “You’re still at this?” she asked, her voice soft but edged with concern. “Jaxon, you can’t keep going like this. You’re wearing yourself out.”Jaxon didn’t look up, his mind fully consumed by the information on the screen. “I can’t stop, Mimi. Not when Elias is behind all of this.”She moved closer, watching him with a mixture of worry and affection. “I understand, but you can’t fight this alone. We need a plan, not just more digging.”He slammed his fist down on the desk, frustrated. “Every time I think I have a lead, it disappears. But this… this is different. I found something.” He turned the laptop towards her, showing a scanned document.Mimi’s breath hitched. “What is it?”“A list of Elias’s business deals over the past decade,” Jaxon said, pointing to a name. “One of them — a shady deal with Damon. It’s all linked. And if I’m right, this goes deeper than we imagined.”Mimi felt a cold shiver crawl up her spine. “So, Elias was invo

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    112: Mimi Is Sued for Patent Infringement

    “Hello?” she answered, her voice trembling, but she masked it quickly.“Mimi, I have some bad news,” her lawyer’s voice came through, urgent and calm all at once.Her breath hitched. “What’s happened?”“I’m afraid CrossCorp is suing you for patent infringement.”The words hung in the air, her heart thumping violently in her chest. “What? But we’ve never copied their work—what’s going on?”“They’ve filed a lawsuit claiming that your designs for the new project are strikingly similar to their patented technology.”A hollow feeling spread through Mimi. “This is a mistake. I’ve never seen their design.”“I know, but the claim is real. They’re pushing for damages and trying to ruin Silent Horizons.”Mimi’s stomach dropped. “But why now? This feels... timed. They must know we’re vulnerable after Elias’s move.”“The timing isn’t a coincidence,” the lawyer replied. “But it’s not just about money, Mimi. This lawsuit is a calculated move to destroy you and your company. You need to act fast.”M

  • THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE    111: Elias Buys CrossCorp’s Remaining Shares

    “Hello?” Mimi’s phone answered, her tone weary, expecting nothing more than a telemarketer.The voice on the other end was cool, composed. “Mimi Rayne? You might want to sit down.”Her stomach dropped. “Who is this?”“You’re about to hear something that will change everything. Elias Stone just bought up the last of CrossCorp’s remaining shares. He’s in control now.”The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Her pulse quickened, her hand shaking as she gripped the phone tighter. “What? No... That can’t be possible.”“Oh, it’s possible,” the voice continued. “The media’s already on it. And Elias is planning to make a statement soon.”The call ended abruptly, leaving Mimi frozen in place. She pressed her palm against the counter to steady herself. She had worked so hard to get away from the past — to build something of her own. Silent Horizons had been her refuge, her second chance. But now, Elias had found a way back in.She turned toward the TV. The news anchor was already reporting t
