The drink was still in his hand.

He still tried to drink away his sorrows.

The opulence of his house felt hollow.

The sound of the City traffic felt distant to him.

The chaos in his mind was not subdued yet.

He leaned against the sofa he was sitting on with the glass of whiskey in his hand.

He was bitter and it showed.

He had lost. He had truly lost Roxanne.

The pain is much.

How could he have lost sucj a soft spoken and obedient woman?

She could see how she was with Ciel.

That should have been him.

A woman so much in love and literally cared for him despite the situation of things at home.

Her care for him then was something he could and break at will but he did not.

Until Reina came along, with her wild beauty and fierce love, he thought she was a better alternative.

  • MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?   Chapter 55: The Revelation of the Truth.

    The next day, he went to the Renwick mansion to see Reina.He had not seen her in few days and he needed someone to atleast comfort him on these trying times.Her part of the house was filled with th scent of nice smelling perfumes, mostly likely expensive considering the taste of Reina, but the fragrance did little to help the tension in his heart.He had barely shut the door of the hallway that leads to her room when he heard the sound of her shoes.She was coming from the living room, looked elegant in a black gown.Her hair was long and loose, but the look on her eyes were not warm nor soft.They were cold and and angry.“To be honest, you really got some nerve coming here to show off your face.” She napped at him as she folded her arms across her chest.“Or did you think I would not hear about what happened?”He signed. He knew what she was referring to.It would have been s

    He then turned to look at her again.He was just frozen on that spot, unable to do anything.The weight of her words hung over him like a misty cloud.She had lied to him and manipulated him to think highly of her with the most wicked of all tricks.And the sad thing is that he had fallen for the lies.Who would not believe his woman is pregnant for me when she says so when you know you have been having sexual relations with her for some time?The floor beneath his shoes felt slippery, and it felt like all that made him while was breaking apart, from the foundation.Taking a deep breath, he said.“I can not believe everything was a lie about the pregnancy. Damn. Why?”His hand trembled a bit but he put it behind his back immediately to avoid being seen as weak.Reina, casually leaned back against the big Piano by the window, feeling nonchal

  • MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?   Chapter 57: The Deal.

    At the police station, the cold air of the cell stung Derek Renwick in the face.How had been here for a week and it was the worst experience of his life.In his whole life, this was the first time he had ever been locked up.Whenever the officers come to check on him it give him food, and they lock the metallic gates behind them after they done, the loud clinking sound it makes always remind that of his fall from grace.Today was different though.Today is the day he regains freedom.He straightened his wrinkled shirt as he prepared to be taken out.His appearance was now rough, a reflection of his broken pride.Weeks behind bars had stripped him of his arrogance. His hair, once neatly combed, hung in unruly strands over his forehead. Days behind bars had made him humble to an extent. His combed his hair neatly, but there were still some unruly strands over his forehead.Days of sl

  • MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?   Chapter 58: The Unsettling Realization of Evelyn.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

  • MY DISABLED HUSBAND IS MY PRETTY BOY?   Chapter 82: Defending what belongs to her.

    She had asked the question because of what had happened at the dinner earlier that day. She was sitting beside Ciel in the big dinning hall of the mansion. It was a beautiful sight. But she could feel it also. She could see that his family objects to him even if it's not loud. It felt like he did not belong there. And it made her angry. It was clear Ciel was more sharp, powerful, and far more wiser than these so called family members who behaved as if they were above every other persons. But, they act like he was not their own blood. As if he was an outsider. She had no idea why it was like that. But she knew one thing. She would not sit back and let them treat him that way. During the dinner, Rex, had leaned back in his chair with a smirk in his face that was infuriating. He had been stealing glances at Ciel all through the dinner, throwing subtle sharp remarks towards fim, disguising it as a causal conversations. It was clear to Roxanne that he was teasing him. But w

    Ciel’s driver drove Roxanne and him to his family estate.It was a bit long, but she barely noticed it.She sat beside him, Ciel , in the back of the car.She had her fingers clasped tightly against her laps.The windows were closed and tinted.She could see the city's skyscrapers from the inside, same as the beautiful buildings that make up the city and the estate they were in.The further they moved, the more they came across very beautiful buildings.And, finally, the driver stopped at the gates of Sebastien's mansion.It was not just a house.It was more like a castle.It stretched far across acres of private land, which were shielded by tall walls and a towering iron gate.And it has very unnaturally perfectly trimmed hedges.The mansion itself was a testament of old money elegance.It had massive columns, alongside grand windows.And it also had a driveway that was large enough to fit a dozen luxury cars.Roxanne breathed in and out.She had been in high society long enough to u

    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
