An Unexpected Marriage with my Disabled Husband Chapter 25
~CharlotteA week after returning home from the hospital, I was finally starting to feel like myself again. I was eating well, sleeping well, and enjoying the company of Adam. Ephraim has become a new friend to me. He was such a sweet boy, and I loved spending time with him.One afternoon, Ephraim and I were playing a game in the living room when we heard the front door open. Adam walked in, and his face lit up when he saw us."I see you two are having fun," he said, his voice full of love."We are!" I said, my voice bubbly with excitement. "Ephraim is such a sweetheart, and he's such a good sport. He's been so patient with me as I've been getting back to normal."Ephraim beamed at the compliment, and Adam looked at me with pride in his eyes. "I'm so glad you two are getting along so well," he said. "It means the world to me."I smiled, feeling my heart swell with happiness. "It means the world to me, too," I said.Adam's face grew serious. "We have a lot to do today," he said. "We

~AdamI stood in the midst of it all, my heart raced and my stomach twisted into knots.I could feel the accusing gazes of everyone in attendance burning into my skin. My breathing hitched in my throat as I heard the whispered accusations, the whispers of "liar" and "adulterer" echoing in my ears.My mind reeled, the weight of this accusation threatening to crush me under its pressure. "It's not true," I said, my voice a desperate plea. "I swear, I am not the father of her child."But the crowd's murmurs only grew louder, the whispers turning into accusations."Charlotte!" I heard the cry escape my lips as she turned on her heel, fleeing the reception. I lunged after her, my heart hammering in my chest."Charlotte!" I shouted, my voice hoarse with desperation as I chased after her. The wind whipped my hair back, the scent of salt and sand heavy in the air as I struggled to keep up with her."Please, Charlotte, I beg of you, stop! Eleanor is telling lies against me.My heart thundered

~CharlotteAs Eleanor's words echoed in my ears, my mind whirled like a cyclone, threatening to tear me apart. My stomach churned, my chest constricted, and all I could do was stare in disbelief.No. It couldn't be true. Eleanor was a liar, a schemer, a manipulator. Why would I believe anything she said?But...what if it was true? What if the child she carried was Adam's?The thought sent a shiver down my spine, a cold, sinking dread that made my legs buckle beneath me.The salty air stung my eyes as I fled, the rhythmic roar of the waves crashing against the shore a brutal reminder of my turmoil. The white sand beneath my feet felt like quicksand, slowing my escape, trapping me in this nightmare."I can't lose him," I repeated, my voice ragged with panic. "I can't let Eleanor take him away from me."With every step, my heart pounded harder, the sound of my own footsteps echoing in my ears.I had to get away.I caught a glimpse of Adam in my rearview mirror, his face a mask of confusi

~AdamMy phone buzzed, Eleanor's name glowing on the screen like a warning sign. With a scowl, I answered, my voice tight with annoyance."Eleanor," I spat out. "What do you want?""Adam, please," she replied, her voice a practiced purr. "I'm calling because I need to explain...""Explain what?" I cut her off, my patience fraying. "That baby isn't mine. We both know that."A nervous laugh tinkled through the line."Oh, Adam," she cooed, the sweetness in her voice a jarring contrast to her words. "Can't we just...talk about this? Like adults?""There's nothing to talk about," I shot back, my voice rising with irritation. "You're just trying to stir up trouble. Why don't you leave me and my wife alone?""Your wife?" Eleanor scoffed. "She's gone, Adam. She doesn't want you anymore. Not with all this...mess."My hand clenched around the phone, anger and frustration surging through me."Look, Adam," Eleanor persisted, her voice hardening with determination. "I'm not going away. This baby i

~ Charlotte"Hello?""Hey, it's me again," the man from the accident said. "Can we meet up and talk about what happened? Maybe clear the air?""The way I treated you after our night together was wrong. You deserve better than that. I want to apologize, and I think it's important for us to clear the air.""I'm sorry, but I don't think that's a good idea," I said. "I'm not interested in seeing you again. Please, don't contact me again."With a sigh, I ended the call, the silence ringing in my ears like a deafening gong. The situation with Adam was already a mess, and this stranger was just adding more confusion to the mix.I buried my face in my hands, the tears falling like rain. Nothing made sense anymore. My life was falling apart, piece by piece.*******The sun rose like a balm on my weary soul, the rays filtering through my curtains with a golden warmth that seemed to dispel the shadows of yesterday. I felt lighter, as if the weight of my worries had been lifted, at least for a m

~Charlotte "Adam?" I called out, my voice echoing through the empty room. "Are you here?"I searched the room thoroughly, peeking behind the door and into the closet, but there was no sign of him. My heart sank as I realized he wasn't here.Dejected, I turned to leave the room, my footsteps heavy with disappointment.But just as I reached the door, I heard a familiar voice call out to me."Charlotte?" Adam's voice echoed through the hall.I looked up to face Adam, my heart thudding against my chest. But something was off. His usual easy smile was missing, his posture stiff and uncomfortable."Adam?" I asked, my voice small and hesitant. "What's wrong? Why do you look so worried?"He shifted from foot to foot, his eyes darting away from mine. "I, uh...I'm just a little stressed about work," he said, his words tumbling out in a rush. "How have you been?"His sudden change in demeanor set off alarm bells in my head. Something wasn't right.Without another word, Adam brushed past me, his

~AdamAs Charlotte's face crumpled in anguish, my own heart plummeted. "Baby, please," I pleaded with desperation. "Let me explain. I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."But my words fell on deaf ears. Charlotte's face twisted in rage, her voice cold and hard as ice."You cheated on me," she spat, her words a knife to my heart. "You lied to me, betrayed me, and now you expect me to believe you?"I should have known better," Charlotte snarled, her eyes blazing with fury. "I should have known you were nothing but a liar and a cheater. Well, you can have Eleanor. You deserve each other."She turned her back on me, storming into the bathroom to pack her things."Charlotte, please," I begged, desperation rising in my voice. "Give me a chance to explain. I made a mistake, a terrible mistake, but I love you.Just as Charlotte began shoving clothes into her suitcase, a small voice piped up from the doorway."Daddy?" Ephriam asked, "Daddy, can y

~AdamMy rage boiling over as I hurled insults into the empty air. "Eleanor is crazy," I snarled. "She's lost her damn mind. Get out of my house, you psycho bitch!"Slamming the phone to the ground, I marched towards her, my body trembling with fury. "You need to get the hell out of my house, Eleanor," I growled, my voice low and dangerous. "You're not welcome here.Eleanor smirked, her eyes glinting with malice. "I'm not going anywhere, Adam," she purred, her voice dripping with arrogance. "I'm here to stay, and I'm going to make sure you get married to me no matter what."My blood boiled at her words, my hands balling into fists at my sides. "I'll call the police," I snarled, my face contorted with rage. "I'll have you arrested for trespassing, for harassment.As I stood face to face with Eleanor, ready to explode with rage, a car screeched into the driveway, the sound piercing through the night air."Well, well, look who it is," a voice slurred, and I turned to see Dylan stumble ou

~DylanThe drive home was uneventful, but my thoughts were anything but calm. The night had gone surprisingly well until Noah showed up like a bad rash. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, the weight of the evening pressing down on me. The headlights of the car illuminated the long driveway as I pulled up to the mansion. The place was quiet, the kind of silence that came with late hours and everyone being asleep—or so I thought. As I stepped out of the car, stretching to shake off the stiffness of sitting too long, my eyes caught a faint glow in the distance. The guest house. I frowned. The light was still on. That bastard. I exhaled sharply through my nose, my anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Did he think I was joking when I told him to leave? I squared my shoulders and headed toward the guest house, the cool night air doing little to soothe my irritation. “Noah,” I muttered under my breath, my strides long and purposeful. “Of all the people Adam keeps around, it
An Unexpected Marriage with my Disabled Husband Chapter 92
~AdamThe sun was barely up, but my day was already in full swing. My phone was practically glued to my hand, its screen lighting up every other second with messages, calls, and reminders. A week to go until the wedding, and everything had to be perfect. No exceptions.“Morning, Mr. Groom-to-be,” teased Tom, my best man and oldest friend, when I answered his call.“Tom, don’t start. It’s too early for your nonsense,” I muttered, scrolling through my schedule.“Too early? Dude, it’s practically noon,” he quipped. “But seriously, do you need anything? Last-minute freak-outs? Dress code issues? Cold feet?”I groaned. “No, Tom. Everything’s under control.”“We’ll see about that,” he said, laughter in his voice. “Anyway, don’t forget tonight. The bachelor’s eve is sacred. No excuses.”“Yeah, yeah. I’ll be there,” I replied, already tuning him out as I started another round of calls.The rest of the morning flew by in a blur of logistics. First, I confirmed the catering. Then the florist. T

~Charlotte The hum of the car engine was almost soothing as I steered through the morning traffic. The city was just waking up, and the streets were already bustling with life—coffee carts on corners, joggers navigating sidewalks, and cars weaving in and out of lanes like an intricate dance. I should have been thinking about the tasks waiting for me at the office, but my mind was miles away, trapped in a storm of unease. Then it hit me like a slap. Noah and Dylan. Their stares. They hadn’t said anything outright, but the way they watched Adam and me recently—especially now that we were on cloud nine—felt like a storm brewing. Their eyes held something sinister, like they knew something that could shatter the fragile peace I had built with Adam. My hands tightened on the wheel. The thought planted a seed of panic in my chest, and I couldn’t shake it. What if they were going to reveal my secret? The one thing I’d buried deep, swearing never to let it see the light of
An Unexpected Marriage with my Disabled Husband Chapter 90
CharlotteThe engine hummed softly beneath me as I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles white against the leather. The sun was low in the sky, casting golden streaks across the horizon, but I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. My mind was far too cluttered with thoughts of Dylan and his incessant calls. “What does he even expect me to do?” I muttered, my voice sharp in the enclosed space of the car. “Choose him over Adam?” A bitter laugh escaped my lips. The idea was absurd. Adam, with his unwavering kindness, his protective nature, and the way he made me feel like I was the center of his world, was everything Dylan never was. “He chose Eleanor over me,” I spat, the memory burning like acid in my chest. “He didn’t know then, but now he wants to come back and ruin the best thing that’s ever happened to me?” The words hung in the air, filling the car with tension as if I could argue with my own thoughts. I pressed harder on the gas pedal, the car speeding down the empty road.

~DylanI paced back and forth in my apartment, the phone pressed tightly against my ear. Each ring felt like a hammer pounding against my chest, the sound mocking me as it echoed through the silence. “Pick up, Charlotte,” I muttered under my breath. My thumb hovered over the call button again, ready to redial her number for what must have been the tenth time this morning. Ever since I heard the news of Charlotte and Adam’s engagement, I hadn’t known a moment of peace. The thought of losing her—truly losing her—was suffocating. When I first found out their marriage was just a business arrangement, it was like a lifeline. I told myself I still had a chance, that I could fix things between us, that she would see reason. But now? Now they were planning to get married for real. That was it. That would be the end of us. I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the strands in frustration. The image of Charlotte wearing Adam’s ring, standing by his side, looking at him with the same s

~CharlotteAdam’s arm was draped across my waist, his chest rising and falling rhythmically as he slept beside me. The soft morning light streamed through the curtains, bathing the room in a golden glow. I turned my head to look at him, his face serene, lips slightly parted as he breathed deeply. For the past week, our lives had been blissfully quiet. Ever since he proposed, it felt like nothing in the world could touch us. The entire family had been stunned when we revealed the truth about our previous wedding being a mere facade, orchestrated for business purposes. Naturally, there were plenty of whispers and judgments when we shared it with the public. Some called us frauds, while others admired our honesty and the love that had blossomed despite the circumstances. But none of it mattered. Not when Adam looked at me the way he did. Not when he held me like I was the most precious thing in his life. I reached out, brushing a lock of hair from his forehead, smiling as I pressed

~Charlotte The warm Mediterranean breeze brushed against my face as I stood on the balcony of our suite, gazing out at the stunning Amalfi Coast. The sapphire-blue waters sparkled under the golden sunlight, and the faint hum of laughter and clinking glasses drifted up from the piazza below. It had been a week since Adam and I reconciled, and true to his word, he’d been doing everything to show me how much he cared. This trip to Positano was his way of making up for lost time, and though I was hesitant at first, I couldn’t deny how magical it felt to be here with him. “Charlotte,” Adam called from inside, his voice warm and light. “Are you going to stare at the view all day, or will you come have breakfast with me?” I turned to find him leaning against the doorframe, his eyes crinkled with that boyish smile of his. He looked relaxed, wearing a white linen shirt and beige shorts, the coastal sun highlighting the golden tones in his hair. “I was just enjoying the view,” I said,

~CharlotteJasmine and I sat on her worn yet cozy couch, the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint lavender scent of her candles. The TV played Adam’s press conference on loop, his voice echoing in the room. “And finally,” Adam said, his tone heavy with emotion, “to Charlotte. I owe you the biggest apology of all. I was blind to the truth, and in doing so, I hurt the one person who has always been my light.” My heart fluttered, and my chest tightened as I watched him look directly at the camera, his gaze filled with sincerity. “I’m sorry for all the pain I caused. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’ll spend the rest of my life proving to you that I can be the man you thought I was. I love you, Charlotte.” I felt a lump form in my throat, tears threatening to spill as his words replayed in my mind. Jasmine nudged me, her grin wide. “Well, well, well, looks like someone is a lovebird again.” “Stop it, Jasmine,” I said, wiping the corner of my eye quickl
An Unexpected Marriage with my Disabled Husband Chapter 85
~AdamBy the time I arrived at the press conference venue, the weight on my shoulders felt unbearable. The room was already filling with reporters, their chatter loud and insistent, like vultures circling a fresh carcass. My security detail cleared a path through the sea of flashing cameras and eager eyes, and I forced myself to maintain a steady gait despite the turmoil churning inside me. The event staff had set up a podium at the front of the room. Its presence seemed both unassuming and daunting, as though it were waiting to swallow me whole. I climbed the small steps leading to the stage, adjusted my tie, and stepped behind the podium. My hands rested on the edges, gripping them tightly to stop the slight tremor in my fingers. The room was stifling, the air heavy with tension. My throat felt dry, and I reached for the glass of water placed on the stand beside me. I took a quick sip, the coolness a momentary relief. Then, I adjusted the microphone, scanning the room filled wit
