MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

At her office in her mother's company, Roxanne stood in the middle, looking through the windows.Her mind was filled with the threatening note she got the previous day about Finn.Ciel had told her to focus on her work but she was finding it hard to do. He did not tell her what he had done.But one thing was sure, she won't let her father win this, no matter the threat he poses to her.Her father had been controlling her for years and she had obediently obeyed him but that is not going to happen again.Someone knocked on her door, and before she could answer it, Ciel walked in authoritatively.His face carried an expression that made her heart skipped.“You are working late again.” He said to her.“There is a lot to do if I want to stay ahead.” She said as she forced a smile.“Are you sure it's just work that is making you work late?” Ciel asked as he walked closer to her. “Most of your worker

Roxanne did not pay mind to Reina as she left her office. She just focused on the new project, but she should have known better that nothing in her life ever stayed peaceful for long. She sat down on the office chair as she reviewed files for the project. This was another chance to prove herself worthy of running the company efficiently by the time she is done reclaiming what belongs to her. And also to send a message to her father that she is not weak. She was in the middle of work when she got a notification on her phone. It was from the company's legal department, which deals with internal issues. “Urgent: Kindly report to the executive board room immediately.” The message read. She was a bit surprised. What was so urgent? What could it be? Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her clothing, collected her notes and went towards the boardroom. When she got there, the atmosphere did not appear friendly. The senior board members, including the CEO who congratulate

Ciel had made sure the news did not just run for some time. He ensured it continued running so that everyone was made aware of the whole thing. He intends to let the scandal shake the business world so much. Derek had been going too far with Roxanne and he was only returning the offer back to him. He then told Roxanne to get prepared and go to work. This is the perfect chance to change the narrative at work and claim her office once again. Every piece of the evidence against Derek had done what he wanted it to do. His reputation was now being shattered. After Roxanne had left, his phone buzzed and it was Alex, his assistant. “I assumed you must have seen the news by now, boss.” He said as Ciel answered the phone. “His investors are pulling out more than ever. His stock value dropped ten percent since the news came out.” “Good,” Ciel replied. “Let him suffer.” Meanwhile, Roxanne had gone back to her mother's company. She felt this odd feeling. It was both relie

Derek Renwick was alone in this dim part of his study at home, as his hands wrapped round a half empty glass of whiskey. The silent hum of the city outside his mansion felt distant, compared to the magnitude of chaos in his mind. All that he had acquired over the years seems to be slipping away. His son in law had come at him, dismantling his power little by little, and now, his own daughter, Roxanne, was proving to be a greater threat. Her resilience was not something he expected, and with her husband's influence helping her, she was no longer the small, obedient and weak girl he could manipulate. And if she is not subdued soon, her actions would cost him everything he ever acquired. He reached for his phone, and searched out a name. A name he had vowed not to contact ever again. But desperate times calls for desperate measures. He dialed the number without hesitation The line connected and a cold, familiar voice answered the call. “Finally, I was wondering when

Roxanne could not sit still. It felt like the walls of her office were closing in on her as she thought of the image of her brother in gag, and helpless. Ciel had told her to be calm but she was scared and the fear was gnawing at her. This was her responsibility now. No one else will save Finn. Waiting to hear from Ciel's security might take awhile. She then picked up her phone and checked the video message again. She sent them a message that she was ready to accept their demands and also immediately, the kidnappers had sent her another message with clear instructions on how to reach where Finn was. Come alone, bring no one, and withdraw all claims to the Renwick inheritance. If she complies with this, Finn will be released to her Finn when she gets to them. She could have waited for Ciel but every minute that passed by felt like eternity. What if they hurt her brother before his men could even trace where the video came from? She doesn't want to have any regret
