THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE WIFE Chapter seventeen
Mich checked his watch as Emma pulled the car to a stop outside a quiet restaurant. "He's inside," she said. "He insisted that nobody else be present." Mich nodded. "Wait here. If I need you, I'll call." He entered the restaurant and found a man sitting at a table near the back. The man looked older than Mich remembered from the company photographs, with tired eyes and a nervous habit of tapping his fingers against the table. Robert Hayes stood when he saw him. "Mr. Ethan." "Sit down, Robert." Mich took the seat opposite him. For a moment, neither man spoke. Finally, Robert leaned forward. "I wasn't sure you would come yourself." "You said you had information about my accident. I'm listening." Robert swallowed. "I worked in the finance department before the accident. Your uncle asked me to arrange several payments through a company that didn't officially do business with the Ethan Group." "Why?" "He said it was for a private acquisition. I didn't question him at first. H
THE CRIPPLED BILLIONAIRE WIFE Chapter Sixteen
Vivian had been married to Patel Ethan for almost two weeks, but she was beginning to realize that being the wife of a wealthy man wasn't as wonderful as she had imagined. That morning, she woke up alone. She reached for her phone and checked the time. It was past eight, yet Patel hadn't returned to their bedroom. Annoyed, she got out of bed and went downstairs. She found him in the dining room, speaking on the phone while drinking coffee. "No, baby. I'll see you tonight," he said before ending the call. Vivian stopped walking. "Who were you talking to?" Patel glanced at her. "Good morning to you too." "Patel, I asked you a question." "Someone from work." "Someone from work calls you baby?" He put down his cup. "Are we seriously going to start arguing this early in the morning?" Vivian folded her arms. "I'm your wife. I think I have the right to know who you're talking to." "And I think I have the right to make a phone call without being interrogated." H

The following morning, Mich arrived at the dining room to find Lily getting ready for work.She was tying her hair back when she noticed him."Good morning! Did you sleep well?""Yes. What about you?""Very well." She picked up her handbag. "I've already eaten, so I'm leaving soon."Mich glanced at the clock. "Your shift starts at nine, doesn't it?""Yes. And if I don't leave now, I'll be late.""Then go. I'll see you tonight."Lily smiled and hurried out.Mich waited until he heard the front door close before calling Emma into his study."Did you find the person who contacted my uncle before the accident?"Emma placed a file on his desk. "Yes. His name is Robert Hayes. He worked with the company at the time, but he resigned shortly after the accident.""Where is he now?""We're still confirming his location. However, we found a financial transfer from one of your uncle's private accounts to a company registered under Robert's name."Mich opened the file.He studied the documents care

When Lily returned to the mansion, Mich was in the sitting room with his laptop open.He looked up as Emma helped her with the door."Welcome home.""Thank you." Lily dropped her handbag onto the sofa. "I'm exhausted."Mich closed his laptop. "How did it go?""About as well as I expected."She sat beside him and told him about her father's meeting. She explained the envelope and how her father had spoken to her as though she were still an unwanted child living under his roof.Mich listened without interrupting.When she finished, he asked, "What did you do with the envelope?""I brought it with me. He said I should give it to your grandfather.""Leave it with me. I'll make sure it reaches him."Lily handed it over."Thank you. At least I won't have to make another trip there."Mich placed the envelope on the table."You don't have to keep doing things for people who make you unhappy."Lily glanced at him. "He's still my father.""I know.""I keep hoping that one day things will be dif

Lily stared at her phone for several seconds before answering."Hello, Dad.""Come to my house tomorrow morning. I need to discuss something with you."Her father's voice was as cold as ever.Lily adjusted her position on the sofa. "Is everything okay?""I didn't call you to discuss my personal affairs. Just be here by ten."Before she could ask another question, the call ended.Lily lowered her phone slowly.Mich, who had been listening without interrupting, noticed the change in her expression."Was that your father?"She nodded."What did he want?""He asked me to visit tomorrow.""Did he say why?""No." Lily forced a small smile. "Maybe he finally remembers he has another daughter."Mich studied her face. She had tried to make the comment sound like a joke, but he could hear the disappointment beneath it."Do you want me to go with you?" he asked.Lily turned toward him, surprised."You?""Is there something wrong with that?""No, it's just..." She paused, unsure how to explain he

Lily's first day at work did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.By nine o'clock, she was already wondering whether accepting the job had been a good idea.The coffee shop was busier than she expected. Customers kept coming in, orders were piling up, and she was still trying to remember where everything was kept."Table four needs two cappuccinos!" one of her coworkers called."I'm coming!"Lily hurried toward the counter, nearly bumping into another waitress."Sorry!"The girl laughed. "Relax. It's your first day. You'll get used to it.""I hope so. My feet are already begging me to go home.""Wait until lunchtime. That's when the real work begins."Lily stared at her in disbelief."You're supposed to encourage me, not scare me!"They both laughed before returning to their duties.Despite the busy morning, Lily was beginning to enjoy herself. The manager had explained her responsibilities, and her coworkers were friendly enough. It felt good to be somewhere she could earn her own
