Semua Bab MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?: Bab 21 - Bab 30

One morning at Sebastien's mansion, Roxanne was sitting on one of the leather chairs, sipping her coffee as she thought about Ciel. For the past few days, she could sense some change in his behaviors.The man who always teases her, seemed to have grown distant right before her eyes.He told her he would not let them harm her again but it was looking like it was more than that.“What is bothering you, Ciel?” She finally asked him, trying to stop the silence between them.He was sitting across from her with a tense face. He did not answer immediately she spoke to him. Instead, he focused on the documents in his hand, going through them with a slow and deliberate move.He finally placed the documents on the desk and looked at her.With a low voice, he said. “There is something about your family that I found out about. Especially your mother.”Her heart pounded in her chest. Sitting upright, she asked. “What is tha

There was no turning back now on the fight between Roxanne and her father.Few days after the confrontation at the ball, the city was buzzing with the rumors about the Renwick family's secrets.It spread quickly, hastened by the nature of the gossip. A stolen inheritance, the subsequent power struggle, and how Ciel Sebastien had supported his wife without hesitation.Derek was losing face. He was no longer the untouchable patriarch. Ciel was making sure of that.In his sleek office uptown, Ciel sat behind his big and expensive desk, reviewing the recent reports from his assistant, Alex.His sharp blue eyes perused the documents with a smile at the corner of his lips.Evidently, Derek is beginning to feel the pressure of his attacks.“The first part of the plan is done,” Alex said with a crisp and professional voice. “We have successfully blocked his supply chains in three important regions.

Roxanne had been working her shoulders out since she resumed at the company.One day, it was late. Too late, and the usual bustling was now quiet. Only the streetlights felt like company as she walked along the side, clutching a folder of documents on her chest.She had been reviewing product proposals the whole day, trying to make sure everything was ahead. She was doing it so well, and gaining ground, too much for Derek's comfort.And she knew.She took a deep breath, then pulled out her phone, and sent her husband a quick message.Roxanne: I just left the office. I will be home soon.He replied almost immediately.Ciel: wait for the driver.Shaking her head, she smiled faintly.She did not want to rely on him for everything, and by the way, she could use a walk at the moment to clear her thoughts.Now she has to wait for the driver.However, she was not aware that someone

Three days after the encounter at work, Roxanne was at home. She was trying to sleep but it seemed to elude her. Even the quiet of the mansion could not lure her to sleep. There is a quiet unease in her mind. She was determined to be strong now and given the support from her husband, she should be confident but she knew her father. Derek Renwick would not idle away while she tries to reclaim her inheritance. She decided to get a drink to calm her nerves. She was recalling the events of the past few days as she prepared the tea Sipping the drink, all the past events lately replayed in her mind. She knew her father's other business was beginning to crumble and it was due to Ciel's threat. She should be overjoyed but she knew better. Derek is a man that doesn't like to lose. If he was desperate, he would find a way to strike back. And Derek surely did. Earlier in the day, she had received a simple but chilling threat on her phone. “If you want your brother to sur

Sitting in the study of her bedroom, Roxanne sat on a chair as she held the legal documents that Ciel had given to her some days ago. She is aware now that the wealth she thought belonged to her father was her mother's and after her death, it was supposed to be hers and Finn's. Yet it was stolen by her father. She had been fighting to reclaim it but the fight seemed to get brutal as each day go by. Sometimes, she wondered why her mother left all the wealth to her and her brother, when her husband could have been the sole heir, given that they were married. But she was not around to answer that question now, and it stressed her. She felt stretched too thin, between her father's endless schemes, and Ciel's sudden demand for a baby, and her fight to get her inheritance back. Her phone rang out, jolting her out of her thoughts. When she saw the caller ID, she became restless. It was Finn's doctor. She had saved the number since the first time she got a message about his hea
