All Chapters of THE BILIONAIRE'S DISABLE BRIDE : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Scarlett sat poised at the defendant's table, creating a buzz of anxiety in the courtroom. Her steely stare moved over the room, catching the eyes of people who had previously liked her but now only saw a criminal. In front of the judge, her lawyer, a sharp-eyed man in an expensive suit, gave his opening statement. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client has been wronged," he remarked in a calm, smooth voice. "Scarlett Hawthorne was pushed into a corner by the ruthless Damon and made to do something she didn't fully understand." Mimi, who was sitting in the rear, made fists. She was shivering, but not because she was scared; she was angry. Seeing Scarlett, the woman who had ruined so many lives, sitting there with a mask of innocence and saying she was forced to do it made me so angry. Scarlett's eyes quickly moved to Mimi, but she showed no regret or recognition of the anguish she had inflicted. Instead, her countenance stayed unreadable and calm, even if her lawyer portrayed

Lyra stepped into the FBI's conference room, her heart racing with excitement and fear. She had been following Damon for weeks, and now the agency was finally ready to work with her. In this fight, she was no longer a lone wolf. She had friends, even though it felt awkward and too easy. Agent Harris shook Lyra's hand firmly and said, "Lyra." His face was all business, but there was a hint of respect in his gaze. "Thanks for coming." Lyra looked around the room and said, "I'm glad I could help." There was a sense of urgency in the air, and the mood was tight. Even though the expedition had just started, everyone appeared on edge. Agent Harris pointed to the screen behind him, where a map of the city lighted up with red dots showing where everything were. "We've been keeping an eye on Damon for the past few months. We need your help to figure out what he will do next. "He is a ghost, but you—" he stopped, "you know how he thinks." Lyra nodded, but her thoughts was already racing

"Remember why you're here," she whispered to herself. She fixed the hem of her blazer and walked onto the platform. The bright lights made her eyes hurt for a moment. She smiled and looked around at the people. "Ladies and gentlemen," Mimi said, her voice powerful yet warm. "I stand before you today not just as a businesswoman, but as someone who knows what it's like to live with a disability." My idea for a firm is Silent Horizons. It will make new, disability-friendly software that will make it easy for anyone to utilize the internet. The people in the crowd were quiet and listened to every word she said. Mimi's tenacity shone through her, and she knew this was her time. As she kept going, she could feel the passion growing inside her. She continued, "The tech industry has ignored people like me for too long," and then she stopped to let it sink in. "It's time to do something about that. It's time to give everyone the power, no matter what their skills are. It's not just about b

"Mimi, you've done everything you could. "It's time to move this to the next level," Jaxon remarked in a firm voice. Mimi looked out the window, her mind racing with doubt. "And how do you think we should go about doing that? I feel like I'm being pulled back to CrossCorp every time I attempt. Jaxon pushed himself away from the desk and walked around a bit. "You need to show them what you can do." Don't let your past speak for Silent Horizons; let it speak for itself. There is a big tech conference coming up. We could bring your prototype there. "Show them what your business is really like." Mimi moved about in her seat, her mind racing with both excitement and anxiety. "A conference? That's a big jump. What if they don't believe us? What if people think it's simply another startup attempting to get ahead? "That's the risk," Jaxon said. "But you know as well as I do that you won't get anywhere if you don't move forward." It's time to show them they're wrong. Mimi looked at the ta

Mimi, Jaxon, CrossCorp... everything was collapsing. His wife, family, and his life were all falling apart. He should have fought more and tried harder to keep everything together. But now it was too late. "You've lost it all," he said to himself, slurring his words as he looked at the empty glass. "It's all gone." He ran a hand through his messy hair to try to concentrate. His mind was a chaos of thoughts. He had made every choice that had brought him back to the bottom. He couldn't even look in the mirror anymore. The phone on his desk buzzed all of a sudden. He grabbed it with shaky hands and read the words on the screen. The material was short and hard to understand. "The end is near." "You've lost everything." James looked at the words for what seemed like forever. He let out a sour laugh. "Yes." No joke. He hung up the phone and poured himself another drink. Mimi was the only person who could assist him, but she was already out of his reach. His life was falling apart. Ja
