last update Data de publicação: 2026-04-03 22:12:19

Ivana slowly stood up from the bed and walked toward Lilico, her steps measured as her mind raced for the right words. She didn’t know how to explain it to her, didn’t know how to make her understand that rushing things now would only ruin everything she had been working so hard to build.

At least… She was making progress.

Tardrain was slowly getting comfortable around her, and that alone had taken effort, patience, and careful steps. She couldn’t afford to lose that now.

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   CHAPTER 41: UNEASE FEELING

    Ivana remained standing for a moment, her gaze drifting down to the bottle lying on the floor. It had rolled slightly earlier and now rested near the leg of the bed, its white surface almost too innocent for what it carried.A strange uneasiness settled in her chest again, and for a brief second, she considered picking it up… but she didn’t.Instead, she turned away from it completely, as though distancing herself from the choice it represented.Right now, she had something far more urgent to deal with.Without wasting another second, she reached for her phone and quickly dialed the number she had memorized from Tardrain’s phone earlier. Her fingers moved fast, almost instinctively, as if her mind had already made the decision long before now. The line rang for a while.No answer.Ivana pressed her lips together, her impatience creeping in as she pulled the phone slightly away from her ear, staring at the screen for a second before dialing again.Her fingers tapped lightly against her

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   CHAPTER 40: STRANGE PILL

    Ivana slowly stood up from the bed and walked toward Lilico, her steps measured as her mind raced for the right words. She didn’t know how to explain it to her, didn’t know how to make her understand that rushing things now would only ruin everything she had been working so hard to build.At least… She was making progress.Tardrain was slowly getting comfortable around her, and that alone had taken effort, patience, and careful steps. She couldn’t afford to lose that now.What she didn’t understand was why everything had suddenly become so urgent. The agreement had been clear from the beginning—one year.So why this pressure now, and Why this sudden desperation?“Why are you silent?” Lilico asked, her eyes fixed on Ivana with an intensity that made it impossible to avoid the question.Ivana blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. She forced a small smile onto her lips and stepped closer.“I’m making progress now, Lilico,” she said softly, her voice calm but pleading beneath the surface

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   Chapter 39: NEW PRESSURE 

    Her eyes lit up instantly, a wave of relief washing over her.She stood up quickly and positioned herself in front of him, wrapping her arms around him carefully. Taking a deep breath, she gathered her strength and pulled.“Ugh…” she groaned under the effort.Slowly, he rose from the wheelchair, but the moment he stood, his body leaned heavily against her as a sharp pain shot through his waist and legs.“Shit…” he muttered under his breath, trying to suppress the pain.His grip on her tightened instinctively.Ivana looked up at him, and the moment she saw his face, her heart clenched. The pain he was trying so hard to hide was written all over him, and it hurt her to see him struggling like that.He tried to sit back down, but Ivana held him in place.“You can do it, Tardrain,” she said, her voice trembling as tears gathered in her eyes.Tardrain looked down at her, his gaze lingering on the way she held onto him so firmly, her arms wrapped around him as though she was determined not

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   Episode 38: HOPEFUL CHANGE

    (BACK IN THE MANSION)Tardrain had fully changed into his gym outfit, adjusting the sleeves slightly before settling properly into his wheelchair. With a quiet breath, he began rolling himself out of his room, the soft sound of the wheels moving against the polished floor echoing faintly in the silent hallway.He made his way toward the stairs and carefully wheeled himself down, his movements practiced and controlled, showing how used he had become to doing things on his own. Soon, he reached the ground floor and continued heading toward the exit of the mansion.However, just as he was about to move further, he suddenly stopped.Slowly, his head turned toward the direction of Ivana’s room.Mike had told him which room belonged to her, but at that time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it because she was nothing more than an unwanted presence in his life. Someone he had no reason to concern himself with.But now, things are different, and she was supposed to check on him. Yet she hadn’

    Mrs. Gladdis nodded slowly, her expression firm yet thoughtful.“What time exactly?” she asked, her fingers tapping lightly against the polished surface of her desk.“By 10:00 AM, ma’am,” Rose replied, glancing down at the tablet in her hands to confirm.Mrs. Gladdis waved her off dismissively, signaling the end of the conversation. Rose bowed slightly and hurried out of the office, her heels clicking quickly against the tiled floor.The moment the door shut, the calm in the room shattered. Mrs. Gladdis slammed her palm hard against the table.“Those troublemakers,” she muttered under her breath, her voice laced with irritation. “Why did they suddenly come back… and for what?”She pushed herself to her feet, frustration evident in every movement, and walked into the private restroom attached to her office. Moments later, she stepped out, dabbing her hands dry with a tissue. Her eyes flicked to her phone.10:00 AM, and her heart skipped.Without wasting another second, she grabbed her

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   Episode 36: Table flipped

    She was clearly enjoying torturing him.Tardrain’s chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. Heat spread through his body as the warmth of hers pressed against him, stirring feelings he hated acknowledging.So he decided to scare her away.Gathering his strength, he grabbed her wrists and suddenly flipped their positions, pushing her onto the bed. In an instant, he was hovering over her instead.His soft breath brushed against her face as he struggled to maintain his composure.“Don’t start what you can’t finish,” he warned.His eyes slowly roamed across her face before settling on her lips. He stared at them longer than he intended.Ivana scoffed, convinced he was only bluffing.Then she decided to do the unthinkable.She slipped one hand free from his hold, grabbed the collar of his nightshirt, and pulled him closer.Tardrain tried to move away, but her grip tightened.“Shit,” he groaned in frustration. “You—”Before he could finish, Ivana suddenly pressed her lips against his, silenc
