Married To The Disabled CEO

Married To The Disabled CEO

Once a powerful heir, admired for his wealth, charm, and success, he had everything anyone could dream of until a tragic car accident changed everything. Now, confined to a wheelchair, he’s no longer the man people once adored. Instead, he’s a target for mockery, a fallen CEO who is left in the shadows, abandoned by those who once worshipped him. She, the neglected daughter of her family, has spent her life in the shadows, overshadowed by her perfect sister. Her family’s indifference fuels her determination to escape, and a chance contract marriage becomes her way out. Neither family cares about their opinion; this marriage is simply a means to an end. In a dimly lit room, the disabled CEO glares at her, "What do you want from me, woman?" She crouches beside him, her gaze focused on his injured legs. "Do you know your legs can be healed?" Unbeknownst to him, she is not just his wife, she is his redemption. With her help, his body heals, his confidence returns, and his rise to power begins anew. As the world watches in disbelief, the disabled CEO becomes the man they thought they had lost forever. Women once again chase after him, but there’s one thing they don’t know he is already devoted to his wife, the woman who stood by him through it all. "Sweetheart, meeting you was my greatest fortune," he whispers, gazing at her with love and gratitude.

Chapter: Chapter 150: Breaking Through the Walls
The silence between them stretched as Ethan’s confession lingered in the air. Emma didn’t press him further; she knew from experience that forcing him would only make him retreat deeper into his shell. Instead, she stood and began pushing his wheelchair again, letting him set the pace of their conversation.As they rounded a corner of the garden, the estate's sprawling fountain came into view. The cascading water glimmered under the late afternoon sun, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the storm of emotions Ethan was wrestling with.Emma broke the silence, her tone light but meaningful. “You know, when I was a kid, I used to think fountains were magical. I thought if you tossed in a coin and made a wish, it would come true.”Ethan arched a brow, his lips curving slightly. “And how many wishes did you make?”“Countless,” she admitted with a soft laugh. “Most of them were silly—like wishing for endless chocolate or a pony. But there was one I made every time.”“W

Chapter: Chapter 149: The Shadows of the Past
The gentle hum of birds in the garden wasn’t enough to silence the storm brewing in Ethan’s mind. Emma walked beside him, her hand lightly resting on the handle of his wheelchair. She had insisted on pushing him, despite his protests, claiming it was “therapeutic” for them both.Ethan, for once, relented.The garden was sprawling and serene, the afternoon sun casting golden streaks across the well-manicured hedges and blooming flowers. Emma guided him along the cobblestone path, her chatter filling the silence he was so used to.“And you wouldn’t believe the amount of trouble I got into sneaking textbooks into my room,” Emma said with a soft laugh. “My parents thought I was obsessed with novels, but in reality, I was devouring medical journals.”Ethan glanced at her, intrigued despite himself. “You really went through all that to study medicine?”Her smile faltered briefly, but she nodded. “It was the only thing that made me feel alive—like I had a purpose. Being the unwanted daughter

Chapter: Chapter 148: Breaking the Chains
The day unfolded with a tense stillness that neither Ethan nor Emma dared to break. He had retreated to his office, burying himself in work, while Emma busied herself with household tasks. But the unspoken words between them lingered like a storm cloud, threatening to break at any moment.By afternoon, Emma decided she couldn’t take the suffocating silence any longer. She found Ethan in his office, his wheelchair angled toward the large mahogany desk cluttered with files. His brow was furrowed in concentration, but she could tell he was using work as an excuse to avoid their earlier conversation.“Ethan,” she said, stepping into the room.He didn’t look up. “If this is about breakfast—”“It’s not,” she interrupted, her voice steady. “It’s about us.”Ethan’s hand stilled over a document, his jaw tightening. He sighed and finally looked at her. “There is no ‘us,’ Emma. I thought I made that clear this morning.”She crossed her arms, refusing to back down. “You don’t get to decide that o

Chapter: Chapter 147: Newfound Vulnerabilities
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting soft, golden hues across the spacious bedroom. Ethan stirred awake, his sharp mind quickly remembering the events of the night before. He turned his head to find Emma still fast asleep, her face relaxed in peaceful slumber.For a moment, he allowed himself to admire her, the way the morning light caught in her hair and softened her features. She looked so different from the stubborn, opinionated woman who often challenged him. Vulnerable, even.What am I doing? he wondered, a pang of uncertainty creeping into his chest. This wasn’t part of his plan—letting anyone in, letting her in.He carefully moved to sit up, his legs still lifeless and frustratingly uncooperative. The wheelchair sat by the bedside, a reminder of his limitations. Ethan’s jaw tightened as he transferred himself to the chair, a motion he had perfected out of necessity.He didn’t notice Emma stir awake until her soft voice broke the silence.“You’re up early.

Chapter: Chapter 146: A Night of Vulnerability
Ethan sat alone in his study, the faint hum of the city below barely registering in his mind. The meeting had taken more out of him than he cared to admit. His hands rested on the wheels of his chair, his body rigid with unspent tension.Emma’s words from earlier lingered in his mind: You’re not alone anymore.He clenched his jaw. What did she know about loneliness? About survival? Yet her stubborn determination to stand by him, even when he pushed her away, made him question everything he thought he knew about relationships.A soft knock broke the silence.“Come in,” he said, his voice sharper than intended.The door creaked open, and Emma stepped in cautiously. She was dressed in casual attire, a stark contrast to the poised professional who had accompanied him earlier.“Ethan,” she began, her tone tentative, “I know you hate interruptions, but I couldn’t sleep. I thought…” She trailed off, holding up a tray with two mugs. “Coffee?”He stared at her, unsure whether to send her away

Chapter: Chapter 145: Secrets Beneath the Surface
The sun peeked through the curtains of Ethan's penthouse, casting a golden hue over the sleek, modern decor. Emma stirred on the couch, her medical journals scattered across the coffee table, evidence of another late night spent studying. Her peaceful slumber was broken by the faint hum of Ethan's wheelchair as he maneuvered into the living room.He paused at the sight of her, her hair slightly disheveled and her expression serene in sleep. A flicker of warmth crossed his usually stoic features, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared."You're going to ruin your back sleeping there," he said, his voice firm but quieter than usual.Emma jolted awake, blinking groggily before registering his presence. "Good morning to you too," she mumbled, stretching."You have a bed, Emma," Ethan said, rolling closer.She shrugged, giving him a sheepish grin. "The couch was closer to the coffee. Priorities."Ethan let out a quiet sigh, shaking his head. "Get up. We have a meeting in two hours."Emma

Chapter: Chapter 18: Beneath the Surface
The atmosphere inside Alexander’s private jet was thick with tension. Isabella sat in one of the plush leather seats, her fingers gripping a steaming cup of tea Lara had handed her. The adrenaline from the masquerade was fading, leaving her muscles sore and her mind racing.“You were almost compromised,” Alexander said sharply, pacing the narrow aisle. His crisp white shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, his usual composure fraying at the edges.“I handled it,” Isabella replied, her voice calm despite the turmoil brewing within her.“You didn’t see the way Ryan looked at you,” Lara chimed in from her seat, typing furiously on her laptop. “He wasn’t fooled for a second. The man is practically a human lie detector.”“I gathered useful information,” Isabella argued, meeting Alexander’s steely gaze. “Hathaway is key. He’s the one pulling strings for Ryan’s deals behind the scenes. If we can flip him—”“Flipping Hathaway is a fantasy,” Alexander interrupted, his tone cold. “He’s more loyal

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Masquerade of Lies
The grand ballroom of the Valcrest Hotel was a glittering spectacle of opulence. Chandeliers dripped with crystals, casting golden light across the sea of wealthy elites and power players mingling beneath. The air buzzed with conversations, laughter, and the clinking of champagne glasses.Isabella adjusted the golden mask that framed her eyes, her gloved fingers trembling slightly as she stepped out of the sleek black car. The evening gown Lara had provided fit her perfectly—a cascade of midnight blue fabric that clung to her curves and flared elegantly at the hem. A long slit revealed one toned leg, her heels clicking softly on the marble floor as she entered the gala.“Remember,” Lara’s voice echoed in her mind through the discreet earpiece hidden beneath her wig, “you’re Vanessa Laurent tonight. Smile, charm them, but stay alert.”Isabella took a deep breath, forcing a serene smile onto her face. “Got it.”As she glided through the room, Isabella felt the weight of countless gazes.

Chapter: Chapter 16: A Trail of Shadows
The sound of gunfire echoed through the night as Isabella and Lara slipped out of the hidden exit, the narrow passageway leading them to an alley behind the safe house. Isabella’s heart pounded in her chest, every step feeling heavier with the weight of leaving Alexander behind. “Keep moving,” Lara hissed, her sharp tone snapping Isabella out of her hesitation. “If we stop now, his sacrifice will be for nothing.” Isabella bit her lip, forcing herself to push forward despite the nagging feeling of dread clawing at her chest. Every instinct screamed at her to turn back, but she knew Alexander was right—staying would only jeopardize them both. The alley emptied onto a bustling street, the bright lights and oblivious pedestrians a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding behind them. Lara flagged down a taxi, her calm yet urgent demeanor masking the danger they were in. “Where are we going?” Isabella asked as the car sped away from the scene. “To a secondary location,” Lara replied curt

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Enemy’s Web
The morning air was crisp, the sun casting its weak light through the canopy of trees surrounding the small cabin. Isabella stretched, wincing as the pain in her ankle reminded her of the events from the previous night. Across the room, Alexander was already awake, his sharp gaze fixed on a map spread across the rickety wooden table.“What’s the plan?” she asked, breaking the silence.He glanced up briefly before returning his attention to the map. “We need to move. Ryan’s men won’t stop searching, and it’s only a matter of time before they find this place.”Her stomach tightened. “Move where? They’re everywhere.”Alexander folded the map, slipping it into his jacket. “There’s a safe house in the city, heavily guarded. It’s risky, but it’s our best option.”Isabella frowned. The idea of venturing into the heart of the city, where Ryan’s influence ran deep, made her uneasy. But staying here wasn’t an option either.“I’ll need to contact someone once we’re there,” Alexander added. “An a

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Price of Protection
Isabella’s heart raced as Alexander’s words echoed in her mind. A bounty on her head. The reality of her situation pressed down on her chest like a weight she couldn’t lift."Why me?" she whispered, her voice trembling.Alexander’s piercing gaze met hers. “Because you’re important to me. And that makes you a target.”She swallowed hard. Those words, meant to reassure her, only added to her unease. She didn’t ask for this—not his protection, not his affection, and certainly not this chaos.“I need air,” she muttered, stepping toward the cabin door.Alexander grabbed her wrist before she could leave. “You can’t go out there.”“I just—” She shook her head, frustration bubbling to the surface. “I need a moment, Alexander. A moment to breathe, to think. To process all of this!”His grip loosened, but his expression remained hard. “You can have all the time you need. But inside. Out there, you’re as good as dead.”---A Battle of WillsIsabella paced the small living room, her mind spinning

Chapter: Chapter 12: Shadows of Betrayal
The hallway became a battlefield. Isabella felt the sharp tug of reality as Alexander shoved her behind him, his hand gripping the cold metal of his weapon with practiced precision. The men blocking their path smirked, exuding the arrogance of those who believed they had already won.“Alexander Gray,” the leader drawled, stepping forward. His voice carried the thick weight of mockery. “You should’ve known this day was coming.”Alexander’s gaze didn’t waver. “And you should’ve known I don’t go down without a fight.”Without another word, the silence erupted into chaos. Alexander fired the first shot, sending the men scattering for cover. He grabbed Isabella’s wrist and pulled her down the hallway, his movements quick and deliberate.“Run!” he barked, the sharpness of his tone slicing through her panic.Isabella stumbled after him, her heart hammering as gunfire echoed through the mansion. The grand walls that once felt like a sanctuary now felt suffocating.---The Escape PlanAlexande
