MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 26: The Ambush
Roxanne had been working her shoulders out since she resumed at the company.One day, it was late. Too late, and the usual bustling was now quiet. Only the streetlights felt like company as she walked along the side, clutching a folder of documents on her chest.She had been reviewing product proposals the whole day, trying to make sure everything was ahead. She was doing it so well, and gaining ground, too much for Derek's comfort.And she knew.She took a deep breath, then pulled out her phone, and sent her husband a quick message.Roxanne: I just left the office. I will be home soon.He replied almost immediately.Ciel: wait for the driver.Shaking her head, she smiled faintly.She did not want to rely on him for everything, and by the way, she could use a walk at the moment to clear her thoughts.Now she has to wait for the driver.However, she was not aware that someone

After the attack, Roxanne was back to her normal self and work mode again. She adjusted her blazer as she stepped through the glass doors of Bellamy Couture.The fragrance of fresh flowers filled the air, but the company was becoming hot lately and she is not here to act cold.Today is not just another work day for her. It's the day she will be resuming as a senior manager in the design department.An official announcement had been made earlier that morning in that regard.It was a significant win for her, as it's a step closer to reclaiming her mother's legacy, and this time, no one, not even Derek, not Reina, nor Evelyn, would stop her.She walked across the lobby, as her heels clicked with confidence.Heads turned as she walked, some whispered in admiration and others with jealousy.But she did not care. Let them talk. She had earned her place and she was not going anywhere.She got into t

She could not sleep.She laid awake in bed. She had gone to get tea because of her unease and inability to sleep, then Ciel gave her more reason for the sleep not to come at all.For two hours non stop, she has been thinking about his proposal.His words kept echoing in his mind.“Let us have a baby.”It did not make sense to have a baby now, when she was battling many things.Why would he ask for something so serious?She was frustrated. This was on another level entirely.She was still thinking when Ciel came back to the room where she was.She turned to him as he walked in.He looked sharp even in the dim darkness.“You are still awake.” He said with a low voice.“I could not really sleep after what you said. Do you just expect me to act like it is a normal thing for you to have asked me?” She snapped.He crossed his arms, and leaned against the

Sitting in the study of her bedroom, Roxanne sat on a chair as she held the legal documents that Ciel had given to her some days ago.She is aware now that the wealth she thought belonged to her father was her mother's and after her death, it was supposed to be hers and Finn's.Yet it was stolen by her father.She had been fighting to reclaim it but the fight seemed to get brutal as each day go by.Sometimes, she wondered why her mother left all the wealth to her and her brother, when her husband could have been the sole heir, given that they were married.But she was not around to answer that question now, and it stressed her.She felt stretched too thin, between her father's endless schemes, and Ciel's sudden demand for a baby, and her fight to get her inheritance back.Her phone rang out, jolting her out of her thoughts. When she saw the caller ID, she became restless. It w

Three days after the encounter at work, Roxanne was at home. She was trying to sleep but it seemed to elude her. Even the quiet of the mansion could not lure her to sleep. There is a quiet unease in her mind. She was determined to be strong now and given the support from her husband, she should be confident but she knew her father. Derek Renwick would not idle away while she tries to reclaim her inheritance. She decided to get a drink to calm her nerves. She was recalling the events of the past few days as she prepared the tea Sipping the drink, all the past events lately replayed in her mind. She knew her father's other business was beginning to crumble and it was due to Ciel's threat. She should be overjoyed but she knew better. Derek is a man that doesn't like to lose. If he was desperate, he would find a way to strike back. And Derek surely did. Earlier in the day, she had received a simple but chilling threat on her phone. “If you want your brother to survive, stop m

The next day, after work, Roxanne was home.She was exhausted. Work has been hectic. She could not walk around without noticing suspicious looks from some of the workers.She would not deny her father's influence here. He had been managing it for years though. She dropped her bag on the table and let out a deep breath.She wished her evening for just go without hitches.But peace was not something she had been used to because of her family.She noticed a black box in the middle of the dinning table. She didn't see it there that morning.She looked at it again. There was no name, and no sign of who had delivered it.She was surprised.She wanted to leave it there but she was curious.She decided to open it.Inside the box were medical words. And Finn's name was on it. It looked like private informations tha

At her office in her mother's company, Roxanne stood in the middle, looking through the windows.Her mind was filled with the threatening note she got the previous day about Finn.Ciel had told her to focus on her work but she was finding it hard to do. He did not tell her what he had done.But one thing was sure, she won't let her father win this, no matter the threat he poses to her.Her father had been controlling her for years and she had obediently obeyed him but that is not going to happen again.Someone knocked on her door, and before she could answer it, Ciel walked in authoritatively.His face carried an expression that made her heart skipped.“You are working late again.” He said to her.“There is a lot to do if I want to stay ahead.” She said as she forced a smile.“Are you sure it's just work that is making you work late?” Ciel asked as he walked closer to her. “Most of your worker

Reina was pacing her bedroom as she held on to her phone tightly, waiting for a message that seems to be taking forever to enter.Things were not going the way she planned after the wedding of Roxanne and Ciel.She did not think Roxanne would have a change of life just like that.She had thought she would be doomed to a life of Instability because she would be the wife of a disabled man, even if he was a billionaire.And now , the same Roxanne is now gaining ground in the company she was supposed to take over soon as the CEO.And all her efforts to thwart her plans had been futile, made possible by the protection of Ciel Sebastien, her husband.All her attempts to humiliate Roxanne or make her look weak had failed, and now, Ciel's influence is crumbling her father's business.And if things do not change as soon as possible, she will have nothing in the end.

The air around them felt free now.It had changed.It felt lighter.It seems charged with a positive energy that neither of them had ever felt before in their lives in awhile.All the weight of the marriage contract and legal obligations attached to it had just melted away.There was only one thing now.It was their love for each other.And it was very real.They could feel and experience it.Ciel could not help himself.He kept smiling as he walked beside Roxanne.Same goes for Roxanne too.Both of them were smiling like two young teenagers in love.It was strange.It felt surreal.To be this happy.To feel completely lost in the moment.They had been together for a while now, living as husband and wife.But they were against each other.Living against their emotions.Against the world.But now, in the woods, walking, hands in hands together, it felt like they have truly won in life.It was still morning as they kept hiking.The morning sun cast a golden glow over the landscape of th

Behind Ciel, Roxanne's heart was pounding so fast in her chest.She could not say if it was from when Ciel had confessed his love to her or a reaction to the sudden sound of rustling leaves in the distance.For a moment before the interruption, she was already set to give him an answer. She needed to admit to herself finally what she had understood and known for a while now.Which is the fact that she had also fallen for him completely.But before she could have done that, they heard the rustling sound and Ciel's protective nature had kicked in instinctively.He had shielded her from the possible danger with his body, and from whatever that may be hiding in the woods.“Stay behind me.” He said with a low and firm voice.She nodded, as her fingers gripped his sleeve subconsciously.She was not afraid of whatever that was in the forest, atleast.Her fear was the emotions within her heart, a truth of her life she needed to confront all this while.Some few seconds that appeared like minu

The next morning, it was a bit late when Roxanne woke up from sleep.Rays of sunlight was already slipping through her curtains into the room.Giving an idea of how long she had slept.She stretched her body, as she felt a sense of lightness Settle in her chest.It felt unfamiliar.She remembered the kiss with Ciel from last night.And she realized she could not push it away no matter how hard she tried.His gentle touch and how it made her tingle kept playing in her mind.Although she had let guard down and gotten intimate with him since they got married, in the back of her mind, she kept reminding herself that their marriage was nothing more than a contract.It was just a means to an end.But now, she wondered if that was really the case as it stands now.She was still thinking when her thoughts was interrupted by a knock on the door of her room.“Come in,” she said, thinking it was one of the domestic staff.But it was Ciel that came inside.He came in and leaned against the frame

The city noise was gentle around them as Roxanne stood, facing Ciel, who was still smirking.She smiled at him too after his answer.She knew he was also hesitant to give a direct answer.And although she knew the right answer to all the questions she was asking him, she just wanted him to say it.The evening air was blowing against their body.They had a nice and lovely dinner. It had been warm, and intimate in a way she had not expected. The same feeling goes for Ciel.After the dinner, they had decided to walk around a bit with no particular reason or destination in mind.It was strange to her how everything had felt natural between them for a while now.He looked at her, his hands were inside the pockets of his trousers.He had stopped smirking.“You are quiet.”It was her turn to smirk.“You say that like it's something bad.”“No, no, it's not bad.” He said.“It is just unusual. You always have something to say. But silence does not look good on you.”She scoffed, playfully nudgi

It was evening period the day Roxanne finally finished the training she had been undergoing under one of Ciel's associate.She was now fully prepared for all the turns of corporate life.She inhaled as she held her shirt tighter around her shoulders.The past few weeks had been time consuming for her.It was focused on refining her skills, mastering the art of negotiation in business, and also sharpening her ability to take charge as the leader that she is with a solid confidence.She had been receptive towards the teaching and had worked tirelessly to understand how the intricate business world works, it's politics and the power plays that goes on.Every session of the training had pushed her further, breaking down her old self and rebuilding her into a stronger woman.A bit too strong.But now, she is done with it.She had completed every single one of the training.But as she stepped out of the building she was in, there was this unexpected feeling in her chest, lingering there as

She looked at her mother as she smirked.She could not determine what was going through her mind.She had just told her she needed to be smarter about the way she approaches things, especially when it concerns Roxanne.And she realized she was right.At this point, the whole family is in a mess, all because everything they tried to do to make Roxanne feel like shit ended up elevating her, and they are put to shame.Her mother too was staring back at her with a smirk and for a moment, it felt like both of them were in a battle to know who stares harder.Finally, she said.“Before we proceed with whatever it is that we would do later on, I want you to know that I was deeply disappointed with what you did at the competition though.”She sighed.“The consequences of what you have done may take some time before it goes away.”Reina's heart raced with different emotions.She felt ashamed as she listened to Evelyn speak.The words got to her and it took great composure not to have cried at t

After Martha had left, she was left alone in the big mansion with her thoughts.Asides her domestic staff, she was the only one at home and due to that, there was lots of quiet.However, the heavy silence was pressing down on her like a big stone as she relaxed on the sofa in the living room.She grabbed the glass she was drinking from earlier and gulped down the wine inside it, as she replayed what Martha said about her daughter over and over again in her mind.The fact she came to her home to mock her about it made the whole thing stung.This would not have happened if Reina had not been irrational, and had just listened to her.She had told her not to do anything irrational, else she would not be there to help clean up her mess.But she had not listened.Even the mess she had gotten herself into was something even she, her mother, can not even help her from if she wanted to.Martha had had a smirk on that had been meant to subtly let her know how much of a failure she was as a moth

Evelyn Renwick, the wife of Derek Renwick sat in her living, sipping from a glass of wine. Her grand space had lovely lights all over, but the beauty of her surrounding could not help her sour mood. The news about Roxanne's rise to fame and power had not passed her by. Not a day goes by that she does not read about her exploits on the internet. There were numerous articles written about her, her new fame and power status in the Fashion industry. “Roxanne Sebastien: The New Face of the Fashion World.” “From an unknown woman to a Fashion Mogil- How she Beat the Odds!” “The Big Slam Victory at Curl's Competition - Roxanne's Dominance!” She curled her lips in disdain whenever she come across such articles.

Her daughter, Reina, had called her the day after the scandal unfolded at the competition, ranting about her Roxanne's
