A Bride For The Disabled CEO
“Please stop, you're drunk,” I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to push him off. His body was heavy against mine, his movements sluggish but persistent.
He barely heard me. “How old are you?” he murmured, his voice thick with alcohol.
“18,” I gasped, heart racing in a mix of fear and confusion.
“Then you're already an adult” he said with a low chuckle, as though that settled everything.
I should’ve stopped it. I should’ve left. But I didn't have the strength to argue, didn't have the will to stop him. He moved against me again, and that's when I felt something cold touch the most intimate part of me….
I woke up alone in a dimly lit room. He was still there, his back turned to me, but his face-his identity-was still hidden behind the mask. I glanced down at his left shoulder. A Phoenix tattoo. Bold. Intriguing.
But then, I didn't hesitate. I grabbed my things and ran, my heart racing as I left the room without another word. It was supposed to be just a night. One meant to be forgotten. And that's exactly what I intended to do. I didn't know his name. I didn't even know his face. It was a night meant to stay buried in the past. It was a night I promised myself I’d forget.
But that promise broke when pregnancy came knocking.

Chapter: Chapter Eight: Breaking PointCALISTA The dull ache in my head was the first thing I noticed as I blinked against the morning light filtering through the curtains. My eyes burned from crying all night, and my body felt heavy, weighed down by exhaustion and emotional turmoil. I hadn’t slept. How could I, when the past twelve hours had flipped my life upside down? My throat was sore and my heart felt like it had been shredded. But there was one thing that still mattered, one thing that kept me going even when the world around me seemed to crumble—Aaron. Pushing aside the blanket, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, though my knees wobbled beneath me. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention, and I almost didn’t recognize the woman staring back. My hair was a tangled mess, and my face was blotchy and pale. But I didn’t care. Aaron needed me, and I needed him. I hurried out of the room, my bare feet padding against the cold floor. “Aaron?” I called, my voice hoarse and cracking. There w

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Just Like She did Six years agoCASSIUS Aaron’s question hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. “Are you my daddy?” I stared at him for a long moment, the resemblance hitting me harder than I cared to admit. The boy didn’t just look like me—he was a mirror of my childhood self. The same dark hair, sharp features, Hazel eyes and even that slight furrow in his brow when he was curious. “There’s only one way to find out,” I said, my voice calm but firm. Calista bristled immediately, standing protectively between me and the boy. “This is ridiculous. It’s just a coincidence! Lots of kids look like people they’re not related to.” “A coincidence?” I raised an eyebrow, gesturing toward Aaron, who was now findiling with his fingers in the corner. “He doesn’t just look like me. He is me, Mrs. Dario. The resemblance isn’t just uncanny—it’s undeniable.” Her jaw tightened, and she crossed her arms. “So what if he looks like you? That doesn’t mean anything!” I didn’t respond immediately, instead picking up my phone and

Chapter: Chapter Six: Are You My Daddy?CALISTAThe soft hues of dawn filtered into the room, but the beauty of the morning did nothing to soothe my restless heart. Sleep had eluded me all night. My mind replayed the events of the past few days like a broken record—Cassius’s cold demeanor, the mansion’s suffocating luxury, and, most of all, the aching void left by my son’s absence.Aaron’s face haunted my thoughts. His cheeky grin, the sparkle in his eyes, the way his little arms wrapped around my neck—it was unbearable to be away from him.By morning, I made my decision. I needed to see him.Hours later, I stood at Lila’s front door, my palms damp with nerves. Before I could knock, the door swung open, and there he was—my little ball of energy, sprinting toward me with a wide grin.“Mummy!” Aaron’s voice rang with pure joy as he flung his arms around my legs.“Aaron!” I bent down, scooping him into my arms and holding him close. Tears stung my eyes as I kissed his forehead. “I missed you so much, sweetheart.”“I missed you

Chapter: Chapter Five: Where We StandCALISTA The drive to the Dario mansion was suffocating, not because of Martin’s silent company, but because of the weight of the choice I had made. My palms rested on my lap, trembling slightly. In my mind, Aaron’s bright smile and cheerful voice reminded me why I was doing this. The car pulled through towering iron gates and up a winding driveway. When the mansion came into view, my breath caught. It wasn’t just large—it was a palace. The sprawling estate boasted manicured gardens, a fountain large enough to rival a city park, and stone architecture straight out of a fairy tale. "Imposing, isn’t it?" Martin glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror. "That’s one way to put it," I murmured, trying to keep the awe from my voice. Martin stopped the car at the entrance, where a butler opened the door before I could unbuckle my seatbelt. I stepped out and smoothed my dress, trying to appear composed. "Mrs. Dario, welcome," the butler greeted me with a polite nod, and the titl

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Contracted UnionCALISTAThe courthouse was stark and cold, the fluorescent lights casting an unforgiving glow over the sterile surroundings. I sat on a bench outside the courtroom, my hands clenched in my lap. Beside me, Howard Adams, my adoptive father, stood rigidly, his arms crossed over his chest.“You better not embarrass the family, Calista,” he said, his tone sharp enough to slice through steel.I didn’t respond. What could I say? I had already been forced into this sham of a marriage, cornered into salvaging a situation I hadn’t created. My stomach churned, anxiety threatening to unravel me as the reality of what lay ahead pressed down on my chest.“Miss Adams?”A man in a sleek suit stepped out of the courtroom, adjusting his glasses. His tone was clipped, professional. “Mr. Dario is ready for you. Please follow me.”I stood, my legs shaky but determined. Howard trailed behind, his footsteps heavy with judgment.The assistant led us into the courtroom, and my eyes were immediately drawn to t

Chapter: Chapter Three: The UltimatumCALISTAI stepped into the grand living room of the Adams mansion, the one place that had never felt like home. My adoptive parents sat side by side on the plush beige couch, their postures rigid, as though this moment required all their strength. Vanessa, my perfect adoptive sister, lounged on the armrest, smirking as if she already knew how this conversation would unfold.The air was thick with unspoken tension, and my stomach churned with unease.“Sit down,” my father commanded, his deep voice slicing through the silence.Reluctantly, I perched on the edge of a chair, my back straight, bracing myself for whatever was coming.“What’s this about?” I asked cautiously, though a part of me already suspected the answer. Discussions like these never ended well for me.My father leaned forward, clasping his hands together. “We’ve made arrangements for your future, Calista.”I blinked. “Arrangements?”“You’re getting married,” he said bluntly.The words echoed in my head, disorienting me. I

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen: What did I Send To Knox? ARIATasha didn’t move. Even after my words cut through her smug little performance, she just stood there and glared. Her knuckles tightened around the folder while her lips pressed into a thin, furious line.I should have known better.The moment her heels clicked against the floor and she turned back toward me, my spine stiffened. The boldness I felt a minute ago vanished as I saw the storm brewing in her eyes. My breath hitched when she stalked toward my desk and stopped inches away.“You must be out of your damn mind,” she hissed. “Who gave you the guts to talk back to me?”My heart pounded hard and fast like a warning bell.She leaned in, her voice sharp enough to cut. “Just because Mr. Grey cornered you doesn’t mean you’re special. He’ll get bored, and when he does, you’ll be nothing but a forgotten distraction.”The words burned, but this time, something inside me refused to shrink back. I wasn’t the same girl who

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen: Do It YourselfARIA The morning was cold, but not as cold as Wren’s voice when she stopped me at the door. “Tonight is the full moon.” Her tone was flat, sharp. “You are to return early. No excuses. You’re joining the hunt.” A familiar weight settled in my chest. I didn’t answer. I only tightened my grip on my bag. It didn’t matter if I wanted to go or not—she had already decided for me. I nodded once. “Don’t embarrass me.” And with that, she turned and left, like I wasn’t even worth another glance. I let out a slow breath, trying to ignore the tightness in my throat as I walked to the bus stop. --- Work wasn’t much better. It had been three days since I last saw Knox Grey. Three days since he left me standing on that sidewalk, confused and pissed. It wasn’t unusual for him to disappear—but it wasn’t like him to leave without tell

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen: I Rule AloneKNOX Blood Moon Clan – Council Hall Three days. Three days since I last saw her. Yet Aria’s scent still lingered in my thoughts, an invisible thread that refused to break. But this morning, I wasn’t a CEO in a black suit commanding boardrooms. I was Alpha. And here, power wasn’t dictated by contracts and profits. It was in blood, fear, and the weight of a throne that only one could bear. I sat tall on the Alpha’s seat, carved from blackwood, leather-backed, raised higher than the others. Mason sat to my right—my Beta, my Second, and the only voice I trusted. To my left, the Luna’s seat remained vacant, as it had been for years. Let them keep looking at it. I didn’t need a Luna to rule. Seven elders sat before me, forming a half-circle. Their scents filled the room—smoke, age, steel. Three were bound to my father’s rule: Elder Ronan, Elder Hale, and Elder Greta. The other three leaned toward Edric—Third-in-Command. The kind of threat that smiled while sharpening the

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen: Cold SilenceARIAThe silence in the car felt heavy.Like something unspoken was pressing against the air.I kept my hands folded on my lap, my back straight while trying to pretend the tension didn’t bother me.But it did.Knox sat beside me, his posture relaxed, his focus locked on his phone. He hadn’t looked at me once since we got in.Not that I was expecting him to.Still, I found myself stealing glances.Just quick ones—barely a second long. The sharp edge of his jaw, the way his fingers moved over the screen, the cold expression that never waveredI swallowed, glancing toward Mason, who was focused on the road ahead. Maybe I should say something. Anything to break this unbearable silence.But what?I stole another glance at Knox. His eyes never lifted from his phone, but his grip on it was tight.Why did it feel like he was ignoring me on purpose?The car hit a small bump, jolting me slightly. I exhaled, crossing my arms.Why is this so awkward?-------KNOX'Just a glance at her'Fenris gr

Chapter: Chapter Twelve: No Second ChancesARIA I took a deep breath, forcing the tension from my shoulders. I needed to focus. Everything that happened earlier—the office, the close proximity, the way Knox had trapped me against the wall—none of it mattered. It was work. Nothing else. Knox Grey was my boss. And I needed to remember that. I sat down at my desk, exhaling slowly as I pushed everything aside. Then my phone rang. I hesitated before glancing at the screen. Mr. Grey. Of course. Bracing myself, I picked up. “My schedule.” That was all he said. Deep. Smooth. Cold. The call ended before I could respond. I stared at my phone, my fingers tightening around it. Seriously? That was it? No explanation? I shook my head, quickly pulling up his schedule. Lunch with Mr. DeLuca – Contract signing. Right. That was today. I straightened myself, pushing everything aside. ------ I stepped into the office and stopped. Marcus Reed was on his knees. His suit was wrinkled, his tie loose, his f

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: Heightened Sense's ARIAI burst into the ladies’ washroom, my heels clicking against the tile as I rushed inside. My chest rose and fell rapidly, my hands trembling as I pressed them against the cool porcelain sink.What just happened?I squeezed my eyes shut, replaying the scene in my head.Mr Grey—so close. His body towering over mine, his warmth pressing in from all sides. The way his deep, unreadable gaze had locked onto me, like he was trying to pull me apart piece by piece. My back against the wall, his hands caging me in, the heat of his breath fanning against my lips, his exposed chest, gawd those abs I wasn't seeing but his chiseled chest.And the worst part?I had closed my eyes.Like I was waiting for him to kiss me.I let out a sharp breath, my fingers curling into fists at my sides.“What the hell was that?” I whispered to myself, my voice shaking.This was wrong. So wrong.Knox Grey was my boss. My boss. There was no reason for my heart to be racing like this. No reason for my legs to feel
