MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 41: Derek's Downfall
The atmosphere in the warehouse was cold and thick after everythingFinn was whimpering quietly in Roxanne's arms as Ciel's men cleared the whole place.They ensured the kidnappers were subdued, same with Derek.Roxanne looked at him, kneeling some few feet away from her.The man who was her father.He didn't deserve that title.He had cracked under the tense situation. His suit was stained and wrinkled.His hair was disheveled and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.Even in his pathetic state at the moment, Roxanne did not want to underestimate him.He could do and undo.The fact that he arranged the kidnap of his own son for selfish gain attests to that.Ciel just stood over him like he wanted to deliver judgement.His face was hard and unforgiving.His anger was cold but co

Later, Roxanne was sitting on the plush sofa in the living room. Her thoughts were centred on everything that had happened. The hum of the city outside their mansion felt distant compared to the whirlwind of thoughts in her mind. Her father was now behind bars. Her husband had made it possible. But she could not really rejoice over that fact because, no matter what, the man birthed her. Even if he doesn't deserve that title. She thought of her brother. He was pale and fragile on the hospital bed before she left. The doctors had assured her that he would recover with time and constant care. Even with the reassurance, she could not still shake the fear inside her. She was still thinking when Ciel came to meet her on the sofa with a comforting stance. His jacket was off. He only had a crisp white shirt on, with his buttons undone. His eyes were soft when he looked at her. “How are you?” He asked with concern. She leaned back against the sofa, trying to calm h

“Roxanne,”Ciel spoke as the silent tension hung between them.“If you really want to protect Finn by your own power, then you should do more than just worry about him. You need to take proactive action.”His words were calm but also commanding.It made her look at him for clarity, because she does not understand what he meant.A chill went through her skin as she tried to process what he could have meant.She understands what the action meant but what she does not understand is what he expects her to do, to be able to protect Finn.“I know,” she said slowly. “But what can I do? The company I am…..”“Your mother's company is yours. And there is on one to challenge you now. But you need to secure your position there. And there is an opportunity to do that.” Ciel said as he saw her hesitation.“What opportunity is that?” She asked as she tilted her head slightly in uncertainty.He stood up from his kneeling position and sat down on the sofa with her, adjusting his position.“Curl is ho

Ciel's words echoed in her head all through the night. She was filled with uncertainties as she lay in bed, struggling to sleep. “You can not rely on me forever if you want to be strong enough to be the protector you want for your brother.” He was offering her a chance to solidify her position at her mother's company by competing in the upcoming fashion design competition he had told her about.It was an opportunity to show the world ber strength.To finally leave the shadows of the her father's betrayal and manipulation.But yet…..Her mind could not forget about Reina.She knows Reina harbor such ambitions.And she had stolen her ideas and designs once with her father's help before Roxanne married Ciel.What happens if she decides to enter the competition too?With her stolen designs with her, it may look like she was trying to copy her.It could ruin her reputa

The next day, Roxanne was standing by the window of the living room, her phone in her hand as she finalized the registration for curl's fashion competition.Her hands trembled a bit but her heart was steady.It was now official.There was no turning back from this.She had legally applied to be part of the competition and she would have to start recreating her designs again.Her husband's men had handled the logistics very quickly.And after some hours, they have been able to secure her spot in the competition, which is highly coveted by many designers in the country.Curl's annual fashion event was not just any fashion contest, it was a battleground where only the most gifted designers thrived.Winning it would not make her position at her mother's company more solid, it would also make her name indelible in the industry as a force to be reckoned with.

The day of the competition finally came and it came with a lot of buzz, excitement, tension and media attention.Roxanne stood outside the venue of the competition.It was a sleek glass building in the heart of New York, where the highly anticipation competition would be held.There were other contestants there, same as reporters and some industry elites, as they bustled in and out of the venue, chattering excitedly.She took a deep breath, gripping the sleek black folder where her designs were kept.This was it. The step that would help her reclaim the remaining part of her mother's legacy.Ci had arranged everything for her to be perfect.With his men working behind the scenes discreetly, her registration had gone well, and no one had raised any concerns about her qualifications.Yet, as she stood there, she felt this weight against her chest.It was a mix of determination and anxiety.

The judges turned their attention to the similar designs submitted by Reina and Roxanne after they had gone through every other designs of the remaining participants.Everyone was on high alert to know what would happen.Roxanne already took a seat. Her heart pounded as she also await what the judges would say.The Judges kept looking at the designs, flipping back and forth the submitted work and Reina's supposed evidence, while Reina herself stood at the front feeling like a victorious person.“I can understand mistakes do happen,” she said with a sweet voice, laced with false humility.“But I believe intellectual theft is not something that should be taken lightly. I put in alot of work on those designs to let somebody else lay a claim to it as theirs.”Roxanne did not move an inch on her seat.She was visibly frustrated and angry, but she still composed herself.

Reina’s shoes made sharp sounds against the floor as she walked towards the hall’s exit.Her earlier calm composure was shattered, and the confidence with which she was speaking before Ciel came in was nowhere to be found.She just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.She had been humiliated by Ciel and she could not hold it in, especially when it had been in the presence of the very same person she had set out earlier to sabotage and ruin her day.Everyone who was watching her leave whispered among themselves, quietly judging her for her actions. She could feel their eyes tearing her down and the longer she stayed here, the more she was reminded of her disgrace.From the Judge's table, the senior judge's voice could be heard as it rang out, delivering the final blow to the humiliation of Reina.“After some careful consideration and thorough examination of the evidence brought forward, it is now evi

MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? Chapter 70: The Name that shook the City.
Life is a mystery.It changes in ways that no one could ever imagine sometimes.Sometimes ago, Roxanne was just the abandoned daughter of her family, a woman who had no idea she was wealthy.She had no idea her inheritance was stolen from her.And now, she is now the wife of one of the most powerful and richest men, Ciel Sebastien, in the world.Obviously, the name of the family she married into carried weight.Even before the event ended, it had not taken long before the news started to spread.The banquet where her husband had publicly announced her as his wife had been a great moment.The journalists had captured every moment and details so much.The way Ciel had looked at her, the pride on his voice as he spoke about her, the expression on his face as he said it, all were captured as the cameras flashed endlessly.By the following morning, her name and pictures were what dominated most major news headlines.“Meet Roxanne Sebastien: The woman who had conquered both the fashion worl

As powerful and wealthy Ciel is, he had never been the type to indulge in big gestures.He considers his wealth, power, and influence as a tool.It is all a means to an end for him.From childhood, he had spent a lot of time trying to master the art of control, in order to ensure that every aspect of his life was carefully planned out.And Tonight, it didn't feel like he was in control.Because tonight, he was the happiest man in the world.The woman standing beside him tonight, Roxanne, was his.Not because they were bound together by a legal marriage contract, not because of her circumstance, but because she had chosen to be with him.And that was something that should be celebrated on a grand scale.He had thrown a banquet.Which was nothing short of magnificent.It was held in one of the most luxurious private estates that he owned.The event was the talk to the town before it even started tonight.The guest list tonight had been an exclusive one.Every one who had been invited ma

At Bellamy Couture, people were gathered in the boardroom, looking so stern.It was like they wanted to pass judgement on someone.Roxanne was at the table, sitting with her back straight.She was calm and composed.But she was troubled inside.She had just been accused again.And she could feel the weight of the moment weighing on her mind heavily.Sitting across from her was a group of executives, who were talking in low voices among themselves.They have a doubtful look on their faces.Some of them looked in Roxanne's direction warily.While some of them showed their disapproval openly.It was an open secret that a lot of them did not want her to be a part of the company from the beginning.But they had no choice when she was promoted to her current position.They had to accept her.Now, another accusation is now against her again.It was a perfect time to show their annoyance, hoping this incompetence of hers would help deal with her, and possibly remove her from her position.At

She sat across from her in the living room.She was visibly frustrated.Anger seething beneath her skin.The nice touch and beauty of the living room could not abate her anger.It was a huge rage, bubbling insider her.Obviously, given the recent situation, no other person could make her feel anger like that other than Roxanne.Who has been a thorn in her flesh.Hissing, she raised her voice and said.“You know, mother, it is a bit frustrating that everyt single trap we have set for her before, she just walked past them like they were nothing. It is so infuriating. She had been able to avoid every single one of them.”Her mother made a hmmm sound and leaned back in her chair.Her teacup in her hand was held delicately as she tapped against it with her perfectly manicured fingers.“Well, to be honest, I have no idea why you sound surprised, dear. Your sister has changed. She is no longer that timid and naive girl that lived with us and we could easily intimidate.”Reina scowled loudly.
MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY? chapter 66: The Rekindled Love of Roxanne and Ciel.
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 air around them was cool as they kept on enjoying the moment with each other.The park gave them a chance the enjoy free and cool serene environment.Also, it was a perfect backdrop for the closeness they were feeling at the moment.He placed a hand on hers and the warmth of their skin touching sent tingles up her am.It was a funny and strangely comforting feeling.It had been long she had this some of ease with a man, and now she is getting it with Ciel and not just anyone.Ciel, in his usual manner, kept still and exuded a confidence that tells something about his Status.His crisp shirt was flying around as the air blew it.There was softeness in the way he held her, it was in contrast to the icy demeanor he always carried around whenever he is at work.They decided to leave the park since it was getting late.Even though, neither of them was in a hurry to get home.Roxanne looked at him from the corner of her eye, as she glanced at the streetlights on the alley.They walked s

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
