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.

She just sat there, looking at Ciel in silence.She was angry Reina had tried to make another attempt to seduce her husband.It was quite pathetic.She wondered what she was trying to achieve with the seduction.Was she trying to get back at her?If that is the case, is that not a weak attempt?Or could there be a deeper conspiracy at play?A target at her career, maybe?Or she was just hell bent on ruining her public image by getting involved in a scandal with her husband?That was still weak and predictable.But the fact she did made an attempt to steal her husband was something she would not forgive her for.Ciel could see the anger in her eyes.He had seen her angry before but that was something else.The look on her face was of something he could not decipher.It was not not anger.It was a cold one that could tear down Reina if she was with them at that moment.She then breathed out slowly, as her chest rose and fell in controlled breaths.“I promise. I am going to destroy her.”

As Ciel left her on the green, Reina felt indignation run through her.She stomped her feet on the green grass as heavily as possible.She was furious.She had been trying to hold the anger in.But she had to let it out now that he had left.Her perfectly done and styled hair that she had spent a considerable amount of time to get done, now felt heavy and kind of pointless.Her confidence had been at an all time high when she got here had actually shattered the moment she realized Ciel had seen through her schemes but she had kept a straight face.She could not believe it.She had been subtly mocked again.Her advances had been rejected.Ciel had not even shown any signs that whatever she did had gotten to him.He had not considered entertaining the idea of her advances.She thought she was making progress when he agreed to play a game with her.Only to realize he had agreed only to make it clear to her that she disgusted him.Her fingers clenched around the gold club as she bent down

As Ciel gathered his things in a bid to move away, his mind thought about many things.He had never been the one to indulge in meaningless conversations, but the way Reina was pursuing the conversation with him in a relentless manner was becoming amusing to him.As he turned to away, he hesitated and looked back to Reina.His lips then curled into a smirk.“You know, I heard an interesting rumor, Reina.”Raising an eyebrow, she asked with some interest.“Oh really? What kind of rumor could that be?”He calmly set his things down with an effortless grace that only added to his aura.He then tilted his head a bit, looking at her in a way that seems to be weakening every single one of her defenses.Still smirking, he said.“I heard you were pregnant.”The words came unexpectedly to Reina.It felt like a slap to her face, but she managed to keep her expression neutral.Regardless of how she tried to compose herself, she could feel her pulse quicken as she heard what he said.With a scoff,

Reina had always been a girl who got what she wanted from childhood.And it transcends into her adolescence, up till her present age.And it translated into how she relates with men.To her, she believes men are predictable in nature, and if you can offer them the right temptation, they would lose their composure and fall.It has worked a lot of times and will continue to work.She thought her dad's idea was great, but before her dad finalized his plan, she decided to try something on her own.She believes Ciel may see through what her dad was planning.He was not stupid.That she knows too well.He was a different breed of man.Therefore, she decided a one on one meeting with him first would help do the trick.The private golf club in the city was a place that is exclusively for the elites.It's a place where businessmen meet and make deals, while playing games leisurely.It's also an opportunity to waste money on drinks worth thousands of dollars.They do not hesitate to make such t

“It's cold out there. I need to get warm.”Derek told his wife as he proceeded to the living room.His mind was reeling with the fact that what he came to do had been unexpectedly easy to carry out.Reina had broken up with Devian.He had not expected that.He was here to try to convince her to temporarily abandon Devian in pursuit of what he wants her to do for him.Because he knew how stubborn she could be when she was being persuaded.But she had already left him on her own.The revelation made him smile as he walked to a seat.This was really perfect.At Least the burden of being a manipulative father, trying to pressurize his daughter into making a difficult choice she may not want to make is off his chest.The choice had already been made before he came around.And now, it aligns perfectly with his plans.She was free, and will be unbothered by the distraction of a lover who may want to get in the way of his plans.That said, this means she would be able to use her charms to the

Derek went to his mansion after he left Bellamy Couture.He stared at the big iron gates in front of his house.It symbolizes dominance to him, which was why he had it then.This house has always been his pride and his fortress.Where he had made many of the plans that were meant to progress the family's legacy.Now, it felt like a foreign place to him as he stood outside the gates.But it was his.He had to go in.He adjusted his cap on his head, pulling it lower over his face.He was not sure if his wife would recognize him like this.But he does not care at this point.He just wanted to see them.He felt like he had been left behind and the world moved on without him since he was in the police cell.He was beginning to think why he bothered with a disguise when he came.But he had always been cautious.It was a habit he could not shake off.Not especially now that he had a plan.The humiliation he had suffered at his late wife's company was not something he could easily erase from

He looked at himself from head to toe using the glass of the building.He felt sorry for himself.Adjusting himself, he started to move slowly.He had no clear destination in mind but he could not continue to stay here.It was one thing to be humiliated by his daughter.It was another thing for others to think he was an imposter.As he did not clearly look like the Derek Renwick they once knew.And given everything the receptionist said, it was obvious no one believes he could have a chance in his daughter's life again after all he did to her.As he moved, the cold wind did not help matters.It bit him sharply.The humiliation still burns him like a red fire.He had come here to at least, make peace, but was not expecting it to be easy, however the hostility he got was something he never planned for.Roxanne had dismissed him utterly and nonchalantly.His own daughter.She was contemptuous with the way she looked at him.It was like he was nothing more than a dirt on the floor under h

And for the first time in a long while, Derek felt nervous.He had not felt this way before now.All his business life, he had walked into buildings with his head high, because he knew everyone around him would bow to his authority.He had always commanded respect whenever he went effortlessly, and used power like a tool.But today, as he stood before the big entrance of his late wife's company, the mother of Roxanne, Bellamy Couture, he felt like he had never been there before.He felt like a beggar coming to beg for alms.He was dressed in an old, nondescript coat.He had a cap pulled over his face very low.He does not look like the man who had been the largest shareholder of this company.He was, however, not here as Derek Renwick, former largest shareholder.He was here under disguise as a father, one who was desperately hoping to seek an audience with his daughter he had once thrown aside.He looked at the glass doors, looking so large before him.It shone under the midmorning s

He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.Luck was on his side.It was just about time for the broadcast of the latest business news in town.He was glued to the TV, waiting to see what was going to happen.His eyes rolled as he saw what was happening.His hands trembled as he tried to steady it against his thighs.“And in today's news, we bring to you the recent updates from Bellamy Couture, the company has been on a steady rise since its newly appointed CEO, Roxanne Sebastien, resumed office. The company had already secured high profile partnership deals, leveraging on the star power of the CEO, which also proves her capability in the highly competitive fashion industry.”She paused before she continued.“Experts predict that this new change in the company, under the new leadership will bring about numerous progress and soon enough, the company will surpass its previous records. This is not thanks to the CEO, who is also one of the sought after women in the industry, and her position
