.The room was transformed, and everything was red. Red petals were scattered across the floor, and the curtains had been changed to deep crimson silk that draped elegantly from the ceiling to floor. Even the bed duvet had been replaced with a rich red spread, carefully arranged with a heart shaped petals at the center.

On the bed lay several neatly wrapped gift boxes of different sizes, each tied with ribbons. And in the corner of the room, there was a small round table with two chairs facing

    He paused, just long enough to look into her eyes. The heat there, hungry, daring, teasing, made him gulp slightly. She wants it. She wants me. Damn… she’s asking for it without saying a word.’ Davis' head was in a jumbled mess. Mrs. Gladdis held his gaze, her lips parting slightly as her chest rose and fell beneath him. ‘Yes… look at me like that. Don’t stop now.’ She moaned within. Then, with a smooth, almost reverent motion, his lips trailed down her neck to the curve of her collarbone. Her soft gasp encouraged him, and he took his time, memorizing the warmth, the slight tremble beneath his lips. ‘It’s been so long… I almost forgot how this feels,’ she thought, her fingers slowly sliding into his hair, holding him there. His hands moved higher, cupping her breasts lightly, thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples. She arched into his touch, a low moan slipping past her lips. “Davis…” she whispered, breathless, and he felt her pulse against his chest. ‘She’s mine tonight,

  • THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE IS MINE TO KILL   CHAPTER 42: Sorry Ivana

    Davis watched as Ivana hastily rushed out of the mansion, her steps quick, uneven, like she was running from something. The door slammed behind her, and he frowned, curiosity flickering for a second.‘Where is she going in such a hurry?’ He questioned.But he pushed the thought aside. It wasn’t his business. He leaned back into the chair, legs stretched, and continued munching on his snack, letting the tension from the mansion fade as he waited.The soft sound of heels on the stairs drew his attention.She walked down slowly, fully dressed, her eyes widening slightly when she saw him sitting there. She paused, a small gasp in her throat, before stepping forward and tapping his shoulder.“Hey.” Lilico’s voice was soft, polite, but tinged with surprise.Davis turned and smiled. “Lilico.” He stood, waving lightly.Lilico glanced around, brows furrowed. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” she asked, because had never shown up unannounced before.“I tried calling,” he said, sinking b

  • 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

    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

    (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’

    An hour later, Mike pulled into the private garage of the lounge. He rushed to the trunk,retrieved the wheelchair, and positioned it carefully. With steady efficiency, he helped Tardrain out of the car.The lounge felt unnervingly calm. Only a handful of people moved around, and even they did so qu

    Ivana’s dropped jaw snapped shut and she walked towards him, with her brows knitting together in confusion. The silence in the room felt heavier than before, thick with something unspoken.She hadn’t needed anyone to tell her, Tardrain hadn’t stepped outside this room since the accident. Not once.

    “You don't have to call my mother—” Ivana started, her voice was desperate as she stood beside him.Beep! Beep!The vibration of her phone interrupted her. She pulled it from her pocket to check the notification, and the sight of the name on the screen made her heart skip a beat. It was a message f

    Lilico’s face turned pale, as the line dropped dead. She stared at the blank screen, as so many thoughts were running through her mind. ‘Did Tardrain just call Ivana his wife?’ a chill crept down her spine. She shook her head, forcing away the thought. ‘He must be up to something.’ She concluded.
