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 Twelve: A Warning Wrapped in Ice
ARIAI 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 greeting, no explanation?I shook my head, quickly pulling up his schedule.Lunch with Mr. DeLuca – Contract signing.Right. That was today.I straightened, pushing everything aside.The drive to the meeting was suffocating.Mason, Knox’s usual driver, was already waiting outside.Knox arrived moments later, barely acknowledging me as he s

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

Chapter: Chapter Ten: TemptedKNOXThe scent of blood still clung to the air, faint but unmistakable. It was hers.I rose from my seat, moving toward her with slow, deliberate steps.Aria’s shoulders stiffened, her fingers tightening around the file she was holding. She stepped back—instinctively, unconsciously—but I didn’t stop.She was trying to act unaffected, but she didn’t know what I could hear.The steady rhythm of her heart had changed. And right now, it was stuttering, betraying the calm front she was trying so hard to maintain.Her fingers tightened around the file.She stepped back.I didn’t stop.Another step back.I tilted my head. “Why are you backing away?”“I—” She hesitated, then lifted her chin. “I’m not.”Liar.She was doing everything she could to put space between us, but there was nowhere left to go.Her back hit the wall.A sharp inhale.I caged her in, placing a hand on the wall beside her head. My other hand lifted, my fingers hovering just above her shoulder.That wound.It wasn’t deep, b

Chapter: Chapter 9: Waiting for the Full MoonKNOXThe office was too quiet.I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the desk, my patience wearing thin. Fenris hadn't spoken to me since last night, and his silence was more irritating than usual. I had arrived at the company earlier than usual, not because of my wolf's sulking, but because I had business to handle. Someone had signed an unauthorized document for personal gain, and I intended to fire them the moment they stepped into my office.But right now, I had a bigger problem.I unbuttoned the top three buttons of my shirt, loosening the suffocating fabric around my throat. The morning air was crisp, but my body burned with pent-up tension.“Are you going to keep ignoring me?” I muttered.Silence.A muscle in my jaw twitched. He was being dramatic, as usual.“This is about the mate thing, isn’t it?” I exhaled sharply, already knowing the answer.Finally, Fenris growled, his voice a low rumble in my mind. “You don’t get to act like this isn’t important.”“I don’t w

Chapter: Chapter Eight: UnsettledARIA 'STRIP' The word echoed in my head like a broken record. I should have known it wouldn’t be easy to forget the event from this morning. I sat at my desk, as my mind wandered to this morning. The words from earlier still echoed in my mind—the demand, the intensity of his gaze, the weight of his presence. No matter how much I tried to force myself to focus on the report in front of me, I just couldn't. Why couldn't I just forget it? Forget him? But I couldn't. I should forget. I should just move on, pretend nothing happened, but Mr. Grey... he had a way of intruding my thoughts and staying there. The way he’d looked at me this morning. How could I just move on from that? My hands fumbled with the papers on my desk, but they were just a blur. All I could hear were his words, his voice, dark and steady,

Chapter: Chapter Seven: StripARIAI woke to sunlight warming my face. Blinking groggily, I realized this wasn’t my safe haven. Instead, I was covered in soft linens on a huge bed. The events of last night came rushing back—the rogue werewolf, the alley... and Mr. Grey.Sitting up abruptly, I scanned the room. It was luxurious. Knox Grey, the infamous CEO, didn’t strike me as a man who left anything to chance. The faint scent of his cologne lingered in the air, grounding me in the unfamiliarity of his world.A shadow moved near the window. I turned to see him, standing there in a crisp black shirt rolled up at the sleeves, his presence as commanding as ever. His gaze, cold and analytical, pinned me in place.“Good. You’re awake,” he said, his deep voice carrying no trace of warmth. I swallowed hard, suddenly very aware of my disheveled state. “I... where—” “There’s a dress on the chair.” He didn’t wait for me to finish. His tone was efficient, as if I were just another item on his schedule. “Clean up. Let's ta
