Falling for My Husband 029
Cross's POVThe frown on Mulan's face deepened as she glared murderously at me. If she doesn't stop glaring, I was going to end up dying, not on the operating table like I had instigated but right here and now.“Are you trying to kill me with your eyes?" I mouthed, watching as her lips twitched to the side. She was getting even more angry now. The only reason why she was yet to flare up was because we were in public and for that, I was grateful. “Why are you acting like I said sometimes out of the ordinary?" I huffed. “Getting into surgery is a gamble, you either lose your life or you retain it." Reaching for her hand, I tried to give it a soft squeeze but she pulled away, still glaring at me. “Come on, you are getting worked up over nothing." I laughed, tossing my face towards the window only for her to tug my arm.“Have you lost it?" She gulped, trying to remain calm but it was to no avail. Her breathing was erratic and it would be a miracle if she didn't pass out. Pushing he

Cross’ POV “You mean Cross Voss is your boss?" I asked with a raised brow, trying to sound all natural but my heart was slamming against my chest mercilessly. Judging by the crispness of the magazine, I knew it was a new one but I couldn't bring myself to ask her for it.For months, I have been off the radar thinking that they have forgotten about me already, how wrong I was. The press was a dangerous organization. No matter how you try to steer away from them, they always find a way of popping their heads before you.“I think this line explains why he hasn't been at work for several months now." She mouthed, bringing me back to the present. With my brow raised at her, I asked, "What's the reason?" “He is crippled and no one knows where he is, not even his family." She replied. “I bet his family is behind this, they must have been looking for him so they decided to employ the power of the press." She mumbled. Taking a deep breath, I was relieved when she didn't press further bu

Mulan’s POVMuttering incoherent words to myself, I continued to pace about on the fifth floor as my heart rammed against my chest in quick succession. At this point, I felt like I was losing my mind. The call from my mother's caretaker came in about half an hour ago but I have been unable to act on it. Denver Smith, my boss, had refused to grant me an audience despite knowing how urgent my meeting with him was. Snapping my eyes shut, I pushed my hand into my hair and then began to tug on it. “Mom, you just have to hang on, I will save you.” I muttered, rubbing my hands together as tears rolled down my cheeks. For a few years now, mother had been living with a tumor in her brain which kept increasing by the day. All the money I had worked for had gone for our basic needs and her medicine which was expensive leaving no one for her surgery. When Eliana called earlier, I knew there was a problem but I never thought it would be so serious that mother had to be rushed to the hospit

Mulan's POVThe look on mother's face showed she wasn't pleased with my idea but he was the last hope we had. Easton Watson was my father but I disowned him at the tender age of five as he never performed the role of a father to me and he despised mother because she was his mistress. His wife and daughter did nothing but to make our lives a living hell until we were thrown out of the boys lounge a few years ago. “Mom, I understand how you feel but Easton is our last hope.” I said in a breath, giving her hand a soft squeeze. Leaning close, I muttered, “I will go see him myself, you don't have to come with me.” “Are you sure you want to do this? I mean… Freya, your sister…” “Leave her to me.” I said and with a determined look on my face, I made my way towards the door, not giving mother a glance lest I would be discouraged. On arrival at Easton’s mansion, I took in a deep breath and ignoring the guards who tried to stop me from heading in, I made my way into the building. “What

Mulan's POVTo my delight, Tristan accepted after a brief hesitation which I fully understood. Both of us were not ready for marriage and I clearly told him if we turned out not to be compatible, we could divorce. At least, I have nothing to lose when my mother is alive, hale and hearty. Standing behind the mirror in my bedroom, I applied a bit of makeup on my face and after ensuring that I was fully prepared, I stepped out of my room. We both agreed to be at the registry by eight am for our marriage certificate but I arrived fifteen minutes earlier. When he didn't arrive at eight, I became worried, taking several glances at my wristwatch and the entrance. Half an hour past eight am, he was still yet to arrive. Unable to hold it in any longer, I dialed his phone but it was switched off. “What am I going to do now?” I muttered, biting my lower lips as I regretted my decision of waiting until Saturday before visiting the registry. “If I had chosen a date earlier, even if he doe

Cross POVThough my cheek was burning with a tingling sensation, I could not raise my hand to massage it. This was the least I was expecting from Elsie who had vowed to stay by my side until the end of time. “Elsie…” I flashed her a coy smile as I reached out to her hand but she slapped me off, her face knotted in a frown.“You disgust me.” She spat in my face. “Who do you think I am? A nanny that would look after you?” She huffed. “But…” Before I could finish speaking, she emptied the glass of wine on the table on my face. “Don't you ever call me again.” She yelled and then stormed out in anger.” The murmurs that rented the air after this made me bury my head in shame as I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me immediately. If I had known this was going to be the turn of events, I would have ignored her dream proposal fantasy and did that in the comfort of my home. Not minding the looks I was receiving from the people around, I refilled my glass with some wine. “Hey,

Mulan's POVArmed with the marriage certificate, I made my way towards my father's mansion beaming with smiles. My mother is going to live and also, we wouldn't be struggling anymore. The thought of it made my smile broaden and with each step I took, it seemed like I was walking on the air. On arrival, I quickly made my way into the living room, asking a maid to fetch my father which she did promptly. After what seemed like forever, father, Sandra and Freya appeared on the top of the stairs and together, they all began climbing downwards. Ignoring the mocking look on their faces, I pulled myself up, my hands resting on my side. “The last time you came around, I asked you to return with your husband, where is he now?” It was father who spoke. His tone was harsh and unwelcoming but I wasn't bothered by it a bit. Once I get my inheritance, I have no business with the Easton's anymore. Since the mockery was temporary, I will have to bear it until then. “I'm sorry, he couldn't com

Cross POVIt was dusk already, yet Mulan was yet to reach out to me, not like I expected her to do so. Foremost, I was a stand in groom for her and I was crippled; which sane girl with her amount of beauty would agree to be a bride to a cripple. That was my thought but still, I couldn't hold myself back from reaching out to her. From our conversation, I knew at once that all was not well with her and this was confirmed when she arrived a few minutes ago. Though I was worried, I didn't show. “I should help you.” She suggested as I tried to lift myself off the wheelchair. “I never solicited your help.” I snapped back at her, pulling a brown envelope to myself. When she wouldn't join me on the couch, I patted the spot next to me but she chose the couch which was adjacent, giving me ample distance. After going through the document, I passed it to her. While she read through the lines, I never allowed my eyes to leave hers even for a second as I wanted to see every bit of her emo

Mulan’s POVFinally, it was the eve of our trip to Germany. All through the day, I have checked and rechecked everything we will be needing for the trip. Kaiser on the other hand was indifferent. Of course I was forcing him to go for surgery against his will but still I had a price to pay. Sitting at the edge of my bed, I was staring at the screen of my phone. I had already dialed my mother's contact, all I needed was to press the call button. With a deep breath, I did and after two rings, the lines connected.“Mulan?” My mother’s soft voice filtered into my eardrum. I had missed her so much so I was giddy with excitement.“Mom.” I shrieked, “How are you?”“I should be asking you that.” She retorted. “You have been so busy these days that you barely have enough time to talk to your mother." “I'm worried about you." She added, her tone mild and almost breaking. “I'm fine mom, you don't have to worry about me." I paused and with a tone tingling with excitement, I said, “I will be

Cross’s POVWheeling my chair through the hallway, I scrunched my nostrils since the sterile scent of disinfectant which clung in the air was messing with my brain. I hated hospitals, and this was just one of the numerous reasons. The private medical ward which was separated from the rest of the building was specially designed for the elites. It screamed luxury which didn't make sense to me but that was the least of my concern.Taking the last bend to Doctor Randy's office, I let out a low sigh, already imagining the look of amusement that would be on his face when he sees me.For months, he had been urging me to go for surgery but I refused and now, I suddenly changed my mind, all thanks to Mulan.The thought of her made a smile appear on my lips but I quickly wiped it off.Getting to his office, I connected my fist to the door before pushing it in and letting myself into his large office. It was clear he had been waiting for me because he was leaning against his desk with a smug

Mulan's POVStaring at him with my eyes almost popping from its sockets, I didn't say anything. My tongue was glued and I couldn't react as I had been frozen in place.What I had expected was, we would end up having a fallout since he has asked me not to mind him but it turned out to be the direct opposite. My joy knew no bounds, I was literally floating in the air as relief washed through my entire body. "You will?" I muttered when I finally found my tongue."Yes." He affirmed only to tilt his head to the side like he was having a second thought. I was almost running my mouth when he locked eyes with me, "On one condition," He said. "Anything." I blurted without thinking.Reaching for my hand, he caressed it for a while. "Our contract will be ending in a few months.” He mumbled while I gulped.He was right about that. Though we were not cut out for each other, I was going to miss him terribly. But I got compensated already; my family was already paying for putting my mother and

Mulan's POVSliding my phone from my ear, I groped my way towards the wall and then placed my back against it. This wasn't the first time Doctor Randy was saying this but each time he does, I always felt cold chills running through my spines. I was terrified but I couldn't do anything.Kaiser was refusing to get surgery for reasons best known to him. Now, this wasn't just about fulfilling my part of the contract, I really wanted him to walk again. Snapping my eyes shut, I pulled away from the wall and with slow but deliberate steps, I made my way to Kaiser’s room. Placing my ear against the door, I was hoping to hear even the slightest noise as these days, he barely gets a wink of sleep.But the room was drowned in a deafening silence, causing me to wonder what the issue was.Pursing my lips, I grabbed the handle and then twisted it, causing the door to creak open. I was about to run away in fright until I saw the wheelchair was empty and he was lying on his back. Cautiously so I

Mulan's POV The next day at work, Jax brought in a pile of files and with a huff, he dropped them on my table. “You didn't say anything when I was laying my complaint yesterday." He said, crossing his hands on his chest with his legs crossed. “What complaint?" I asked, peering at him for a while before I resumed what I was doing. “Working for a ghost boss." He spat out, a smile forming on my lips that instant. “I thought you dropped the complaint yesterday." Pouting, I added, “I give it to you, you have a knack for nagging." “Is that what you’re going to say?" He asked through his teeth. He was livid and I had no idea why he was reacting this way. “I'm used to it, I have no reason to complain.” I shrugged, making him flare up again. When he finally got down from his high horses, with a calm but firm voice, I said, "It's not as if we were with our so-called boss yesterday.” "There is no point complaining when the person you are directing your frustration to isn't there to list

Mulan's POVHis question was out of the blue. Well, the truth is, I'm mad at him.Extremely mad that I almost lost my head last night while thinking about his refusal to get a surgery. The money needed for the surgery had been settled, all that was needed was for him to give his consent and then the hospital in Germany would be contacted. "I was mad at you but not anymore.” I huffed, rolling my eyes to the back of my head. "The thing is…" He tried to explain but I didn't give him the chance, as I felt there was no point doing so. “I take your refusal as my inability to convince you on why you need to get off that wheelchair." I pouted. "Next time, I will make sure you have no choice but to give your consent. You just wait and see.” I smacked my lips as the sound of his soft laughter filtered into my ears. Smiling broadly, I said, "I'm being serious but first, let me get dinner ready.” "No, we should eat out.” He countered and before I could give my consent or refuse his sugges

Cross' POV Staring at her with my lips slightly parted, I felt my heart clench against my chest in full force. “Let's get your legs back." She said crouching next to me but I wheeled my chair away from her, grasping the tires as I began to hyperventilate.My reaction was not because I was mad at her or anything, it was solely borne out of shock. This was the first time someone had demonstrated this kind of care and attention to me despite having a family. When my family learnt I wouldn't be able to walk again, they resigned, claiming that it was my fate to be crippled while pledging to be by my side no matter what. Thanks to them, I lost interest in getting surgery coupled with my battle of topophobia. “We got into this agreement because of me." Mulan said, bringing me back to the present.“All thanks to you, my revenge plan on my family has been going on smoothly, why don't you want me to repay you back?" She said in a sing-song voice only to hear the echo of her sobs. Swirlin
