last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-03-09 07:01:27

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

  • MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?   Chapter 33: Reina's Desperation

    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.

    Roxanne nodded at what Ciel said and prepared to get it done.She arrived at work the next day with a strange sense of confidence.She had been able to get information that could exonerate her and she could not wait to clear the air once and for all.She had told the CEO to call for a meeting that morning.Employees avoided her as she walked towards the boardroom that morning.It was obvious the embezzlement accusations had spread to every corner of the company.But this morning, everything would change.She stepped into the boardroom where the senior board members were already seated.The whole atmosphere felt heavy.And her father was seated at the head of the table with a smooth expression.She took her seat as she placed a thick folder on the table.“Good morning, gentlemen.” She said with a clear voice.

    Ciel had made sure the news did not just run for some time. He ensured it continued running so that everyone was made aware of the whole thing.He intends to let the scandal shake the business world so much.Derek had been going too far with Roxanne and he was only returning the offer back to him.He then told Roxanne to get prepared and go to work.This is the perfect chance to change the narrative at work and claim her office once again.Every piece of the evidence against Derek had done what he wanted it to do.His reputation was now being shattered.After Roxanne had left, his phone buzzed and it was Alex, his assistant.“I assumed you must have seen the news by now, boss.” He said as Ciel answered the phone.“His investors are pulling out more than ever. His stock value dropped ten percent since the news came out.”“Good,” Ci

    Roxanne did not pay mind to Reina as she left her office.She just focused on the new project, but she should have known better that nothing in her life ever stayed peaceful for long.She sat down on the office chair as she reviewed files for the project.This was another chance to prove herself worthy of running the company efficiently by the time she is done reclaiming what belongs to her.And also to send a message to her father that she is not weak.She was in the middle of work when she got a notification on her phone.It was from the company's legal department, which deals with internal issues.“Urgent: Kindly report to the executive board room immediately.”The message read.She was a bit surprised. What was so urgent? What could it be? Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her clothing, collected her notes and went towards the bo

    Roxanne sat on the edge of her desk, trying to compose herself.Her heart pounded as she watched Ciel talking on phone with his security details on how best to handle the situation.They do not have a lead yet, so it was a bit difficult to find a way to deal with it.Her little brother was gone.He has been kidnapped.The words on the note made her scared.What if they harm him regardless of any decision she makes?The room felt colder despite the presence of Ciel to keep her warm.She looked at him. He was tensed too, and from his expression, she could tell he was angry “Roxanne, don't worry, we will get him back,” he said to her after ending the calls he was making.His words should have comforted her.But she was scared.She wondered who could have done this.Could it be Derek?

    After Ciel broke off the kiss with Roxanne, she laid beneath the  sheets of her bed, the warmth of the kiss still lingering on her lips.She could not sleep. No matter how hard she tried, she kept thinking about the moment they had shared the kiss.It felt more than a kiss to her. It was a kiss that broke down her defences and made her feel bare.And now, she could not stop thinking about Ciel.Even if he was beside her on the bed at the moment.Ciel then stirred. His body shifted closer to her. She could feel his warmth against her back as her heart pounded more.She wanted to move away, so as to have some distance between them, but she did not.Her body refused to move.Turning to face her, Ciel opened his eyes.With a low and exhausted voice, he said.“You are still awake,” “I could not sleep.” She repl

    Derek Renwick was alone in this dim part of his study at home, as his hands wrapped round a half empty glass of whiskey.The silent hum of the city outside his mansion felt distant, compared to the magnitude of chaos in his mind.All that he had acquired over the years seems to be slipping away.His son in law had come at him, dismantling his power little by little, and now, his own daughter, Roxanne, was proving to be a greater threat.Her resilience was not something he expected, and with her husband's influence helping her, she was no longer the small, obedient and weak girl he could manipulate.And if she is not subdued soon, her actions would cost him everything he ever acquired.He reached for his phone, and searched out a name.A name he had vowed not to contact ever again.But desperate times calls for desperate measures.He dialed the number without hesitationThe line connec

    Within hours, the news spread quickly.Every major news house was reporting the arrest that shook the business world.Derek Renwick was arrested in relation to a kidnap case.Ciel did not try to hold back.He made sure Derek remained in the police cell.And then, he released damning evidence to destroy his remaining shred of reputation that he had.All the evidence he had about him, he released to the media.Documents that contained years of Corporate fraud and money laundering.The banks froze his accounts, and his company's stock price crashed.Shareholders quickly cut ties with his company before they were dragged down with him.Ciel had told Roxanne that morning in a calm but chilling voice. “I said I would destroy him. I have kept my promise.”Roxanne should be relieved. Her father deserved everything that was happening to him and more.But as she sat in Ciel's

    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. It was not enough that she had ruined her husband, but now she had the audacity to outshine Reina? The thought of it made her chest burn with frustration. Her daughter, Reina, had called her the day after the scandal unfolded at the competition, ranting about her Roxanne's
