All Chapters of Suddenly Became CEO's Wife Paralyzed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I never expected Father to take such drastic measures, considering how much love he used to shower upon Diego and his wife."Are you serious about the divorce, Father?" I asked to make sure."Hm. I even ordered a DNA test, Samuel. If he truly shared my blood, he couldn't possibly be this cruel. How could such a monster have lived in my house all this time?" he said in a low, weak voice. His aged face looked incredibly weary, etched with deep lines of regret.In fact, Father once said he wanted to spend his old age in peace and happiness. But now, what was left? In his twilight years, he received a bitter surprise that shattered his heart.Father closed his eyes, perhaps replaying memories of the past that now felt hollow. I patted Father’s shoulder gently, trying to offer him what strength I had left."You should just rest, Father. Don't leave the house for now. I will tighten your security. Or... would you like to stay with me and Emelia for a while?"

"Lucas..."I muttered the name softly, processing the information after one of my trusted men reported that a man named Lucas had just visited Diego in prison.What was his connection to Diego? As far as I knew, Lucas was an incredibly famous and wealthy man. If the goal was merely money, it didn't make sense. Lucas’s wealth far surpassed my father’s. Logically, if Rosalina were only after material gain, she would have been better off marrying Lucas instead of Father, wouldn't she? Especially since I knew that Lucas had chosen to live a solitary life all this time.I let out a harsh breath. Lucas’s age wasn't that far from Father’s. A burning curiosity began to consume my heart; why would a man of Lucas’s stature be willing to visit Diego and even attempt to bail that bastard out?There was a common thread here that remained invisible. I decided to confront the man directly."Emelia, I’m going out for a while," I said, say

I felt my body growing incredibly weak. My consciousness was fading, and my vision became increasingly blurred. However, just as I was about to surrender to the darkness, the sudden, deafening sound of rapid gunfire erupted. My eyes snapped wide open.Samuel... I hoped it was Samuel coming to save me.The sounds of a brutal struggle and angry shouts echoed from behind the wall. Shortly after, someone tried to force the room door open. Because it was locked tightly from the outside, it took several heavy blows before the wood finally gave way.CRASH!The door swung wide open. Samuel stood there, his face etched with overwhelming worry. The moment his eyes caught sight of me bound to the chair, he immediately ran toward me."Emelia!" he called out huskily. He held me for a moment—as if making sure I was still breathing—then quickly peeled off the tape covering my mouth and cut the ropes winding around my body."Samuel..." I whispered. My voice

Emelia was already fast asleep, her features looking so peaceful under the dim glow of the bedside lamp. I stroked her head gently; I had intentionally exhausted her. After our heated session in the pool earlier, I hadn't simply stopped there. I had brought her to the peak of passion once more, making Emelia moan my name repeatedly upon the bed.And now, she was slumbering deeply."Sleep tight, darling," I whispered softly while kissing her forehead with deep affection.I immediately rose from the bed. My soft side was locked away the moment my feet touched the floor. Now, it was time to meet Rosalina. My fingers were already itching, impatient to repay every drop of tear and every ounce of fear she had inflicted upon my wife.Before leaving, I gave strict instructions to the servants to watch over Emelia. I even doubled the number of guards around the room to ensure that not even a single fly could enter. I refused to be caught off guard again, even though I kne

Lucas’s laughter echoed through the vast room, sounding incredibly arrogant. However, I did not flinch in the slightest, even though I stood alone within the tiger’s den.“I am still giving you a chance, Samuel. Release Rosalina, and I will ensure she never disturbs your family again,” he said in a low, threatening tone.I shook my head slowly, standing firm in my resolve. A devious man like Lucas could never be trusted at his word.“No, I will not do that, my honorable Mr. Lucas!” I stated firmly.“Fine, if that is what you want,” he replied coldly. He gestured with his hand for the guards to move in and surround me.I remained calm, looking at each of Lucas’s men one by one as they approached with sharp glares. When they were within reach and ready to seize me, I spun around while pressing my secret suit button.Ssssttt!Instantly, toxic gas sprayed out. Lucas’s men in the front line bec
