Semua Bab The Disabled CEO is my Husband. : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Dear readers, I’m deeply sorry for the slow—or almost nonexistent—updates lately. Even if I don’t deserve it, I truly hope you can forgive me. I owe you an explanation, and I want to be honest and accountable. Last month, I paused updates in hopes of stockpiling chapters, planning to return this month with consistent releases—especially as I’m currently juggling the final stages of two books. But life took an unexpected turn when a health emergency came up in my family, and I’ve been in the hospital these past few weeks. Some writers are able to keep going in situations like this, but it’s been really hard for me. I’m barely getting any rest, and productivity feels like a distant goal. I’m praying that all of this will pass soon, and that my family and I will have reasons to rejoice. But for now, my mind hasn’t been calm enough to write. My emotions feel scattered, and I don’t want to give you anything half-hearted or rushed. I see and appreciate the time, emotions, and even money

It was the weekend, and Alejandro had taken it upon himself to be Elise’s personal trainer.This Saturday morning, the sky washed in pale blue and grey hues. Behind it, the sun hid, showing just enough light to offer the right amount of vitamins and warmth.Elise was in the second trimester of her pregnancy, which was an advantage as she barely experienced morning sickness and now had the strength for activities like the light exercises the doctor had recommended. He had insisted on them, saying her body needed to stay nimble and strong even with the extra load she carried.So they were outside, on the open field behind the house. The grass still smelled faintly of dew, and Elise found herself caught between amusement and reluctance as Alejandro demonstrated stretches, motioning for her to copy him.“Arms higher,” he said, his deep voice carrying the command and warmth she had grown used to.She groaned, raising her arms. “You’re enjoying this way too much.”“I am,” he admitted shamel

It was morning, as Alejandro’s constant 4am alarm had struck, and even as he did not have any urgent need for it this day, he raised himself from the bed. Looking over the estate through his window, he allowed the fresh gush of wind to fill his nose before he let out an exhale. He had been working on a plan to save the company and had sent out an email to this prominent investor. It had been days and he was yet to get a reply. Although his usual morning routine had been to check his mail for feedback, this morning, he did not feel like it yet. He was not willing to sour his mind with negative things yet, as his main focus at that moment was reliving the previous day.The moment he had spent with his Lily. Her mood in the previous days had felt like a switch, off and on, and anything that made her happy, he was all in it. Seeing her happy the previous day and even expressed in the way her body reacted to him caused him some kind of thrill. With a smile on his face, he turned to

Antique Lilies Restaurant was elegant, and completely known for its luxury. It was rumored that the service offered there was not the best, but because of the name and influence it had amassed, it was among the first-choice restaurants for elites in the city. On a normal day, it was not what Elise would have chosen for herself as she preferred the reserved lifestyle, especially considering her upbringing. The seats and rims of the table were plated in original gold with the staff dressed more fashionably than the air hostesses of the first class compartments of popular airlines. But Elise did not have a choice, as Mariana had picked that place herself.The waiters looked like they’d rather turn away anyone not born into money and behind one of them, she spotted Mariana sitting elegantly. After the conclusion she had made at the hospital earlier that week, she still had some doubts which led to her consulting Diane. Diane had given Elise all the mental boosts she needed and even o

Tia Mendoza had barely reached her, but Elise knew that the woman who stood before her had not brought good tidings. She carried the same cold air that always spread faster than her fragrance, and the way some staff had paused in their duty made it obvious that they had caught the whiff.“Mrs. Mendoza,” Elise finally managed, straightening despite the twist in her stomach.Tia Mendoza’s eyes flickered over Elise, assessing and dissecting. Her lips curved into the faintest polite smile, though it did not help relax Elise’s nerves.“Why do you look that way. Are you surprised to see me?” she probed, her heels clicking against the stone as she advanced.Elise clasped her hands together. “I—yes. I had no idea you were coming. Welcome.” She gestured. “It’s just… Alejandro isn’t home at the moment. He left for work not long ago.”Tia tilted her head, amusement flashing briefly in her eyes. “Good. I didn’t come for Alejandro.” She paused deliberately. “I came to see you.”Elise blinked, her
