บททั้งหมดของ The Disabled CEO is my Husband. : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, with Elise yawning as she softly adjusted herself to the quietness of the room. It did not feel like some hours ago that Alejandro had forced himself into her room. Now, the sunlight peeked through the curtains, the patterns it cast across the sheets a clear indication that it was morning.For a moment, Elise remained still, uncertain about the presence that should be next to her.But when no movement came, her brows furrowed. She quickly raised herself, her eyes searching around the room. Instinctively, her fingers traveled to where Alejandro had slept, and it was cold, like he had been away for a long time.Elise was not exactly sure when he left, but a quiet exhale left her lips. The last memory she had of last night, she had broken down in tears, but Alejandro’s hold around her remained tightened. She had cried so much in hushed tones that she did not realize when exhaustion took her.There was still an ache in her chest, but compared to last night

Elise stood still, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her dress. Alejandro’s mother looked at her with a kind of amusement that made her seem like an insignificant object. Her lips were barely curved in what could hardly be called a smile.The words she had spoken settled between them. It seemed soft, like her question was out of care but the cruel undertone pricked Elise so much and tightened her chest. For so long, she had felt like this was how everyone saw her. A woman who was sold off by her family because she really meant nothing to them and had no choice over her life. But hearing it said outrightly, especially by Alejandro’s mother opened a wound in her chest that she thought had sealed off. For a brief moment, Elise hesitated, unsure of how to respond. In a very normal situation, she would lash out and speak of how that situation did not exactly define her, but with Alejandro’s mother, it was a more difficult task. Who knew if Alejandro’s harshness on her would w

Her breath came in short gasps after Alejandro’s statement. She looked at him barely unable to form any words. Alejandro’s lips rushed back to her neck, trailing kisses from her neck down towards her chest. And every one of his actions sent a chill through her, causing her toes to curl.Her hands, which had initially rested on his shirt, tightened. His presence was too intoxicating and even as she was not certain what she wanted, it was much difficult to resist.“Elise,” he murmured, with his breath getting hotter against her skin. “Do you have any idea what you do to me?”“I don’t do anything.” She replied softly, moving her eyes away. Alejandro chuckled slightly. “Oh, you don’t know.”Her pulse fluttered as he kissed the center of her neck, staying there for a moment before trailing lower. His fingers brushed against her jaw, coaxing her to look at him. When she did, the intensity of his dark gaze made her stomach tighten. “I want you.”She gulped.Alejandro’s lips continued clai

It was not up to ten minutes after Alejandro stepped out that Diane entered with a wide smile and a tray that held a glass of a smoothie. “Good morning Ma’am.”“Good morning.” Elise nodded in response, trying to shift her thought away from the discussion that she had with Alejandro earlier. Thankfully, she had managed to raise herself and slipped into a light gown that covered her. She reached for the glass and after gulping down the drink, went through her usual routine with Diane. Which basically was to prepare her bath water, dress up, and clean her room. Once they were done, Diane probed. “Should I bring your food over here?”Elise furrowed her brows for a moment before answering. “Let’s go to the dining room instead.”Diane’s eyes widened slightly but she quickly recovered. “Of course, Ma’am.”Just the previous day, Elise had mentioned that she wanted to sit in the garden, and now she was going to eat in the dining room. Something that she had never seen her do since she mov

Hours had passed and Elise was done with breakfast, left with nothing else to do. She had browsed through some things online and had ordered a chessboard that she planned to use to keep herself busy while being in Alejandro’s place. Her mind still circled around the thought of seeing Clara at the event later in the day, and somehow she panicked, but her resolve was much firmer now. Diane had taken care of her laundry, and while Elise sat on the edge of the bed staring at nothing in particular, a knock came on the door. Before she could stand, Diane who had been folding some clothes rushed to it. “I’ll get it.”As soon as she opened, one of the workers came into view holding a black box wrapped with a silver ribbon and another fancy bag. “A package came in for the Madam.”“Oh, thank you.” Diane nodded, then took it from the staff before closing the door behind her.“I guess it’s the dress he mentioned,” Elise whispered to only her hearing then reached for it. The way Diane smiled, i
