Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 140: The Battle Lines Are Drawn
The morning sun streamed through the large windows of Ethan’s penthouse, but the atmosphere inside was far from serene. The team had gathered early, each armed with updates on Harold’s crumbling network and the countermeasures in place to protect Ethan’s empire.Emma, seated next to Ethan at the head of the table, flipped through her notes as Jake gave his briefing.“Harold is losing his grip,” Jake began, his tone steady but urgent. “Two of his key allies have already backed out of their partnership after we exposed their offshore accounts. But Harold’s still pushing, and we believe he’s planning a major announcement to undermine your position further.”Ethan leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “What kind of announcement?”Jake hesitated. “We’re not sure yet. But whatever it is, he’s desperate. He’s pulling strings he hasn’t touched in years. We need to be ready for anything.”Ethan’s lips thinned into a cold line. “Desperation makes him dangerous. We can’t give him

The city was cloaked in darkness, but Ethan’s penthouse buzzed with activity. The clock on the wall ticked relentlessly as the team finalized their plans. The tension was palpable, each person moving with purpose, knowing this was the moment they had been working toward.Ethan sat at the head of the room, his sharp gaze cutting through the chaos. He was in his wheelchair, but his presence was as commanding as ever. “Jake, ensure the team is in position. Emma, I need you to double-check the surveillance feeds.”Emma nodded, her hands deftly navigating the laptop in front of her. She had become Ethan’s unofficial right hand, her medical precision translating seamlessly into the world of corporate and personal warfare.“You’re pushing yourself too hard,” Emma said without looking up.“I don’t have the luxury of taking it easy,” Ethan replied, his tone curt but not unkind.Emma glanced up, her eyes meeting his. “You’re no good to anyone if you burn out.”Ethan didn’t respond immediately.

The victory over Harold should have brought relief, but instead, it left a lingering unease in Ethan’s heart. The penthouse was quieter now, the once-bustling team having left to rest. Ethan wheeled himself to the large window overlooking the city. The glowing skyline reminded him of everything he’d fought for and everything he still had to lose.Emma entered the room, holding a tray with two steaming mugs of coffee. “You should be resting,” she said, setting the tray on the coffee table.Ethan didn’t turn around. “Resting is for people who don’t have enemies lurking in every shadow.”Emma sighed, sitting on the couch and gesturing for him to join her. “The team did a great job tonight. Harold’s in custody, his operations dismantled. You’ve won.”“For now,” Ethan replied, finally turning to face her. “Harold was just one head of the hydra. Cut off one, and two more grow in its place.”Emma frowned, leaning forward. “You think someone will step in to fill his void?”Ethan nodded. “I do

The first crack of thunder echoed through the city as rain lashed against the towering windows of Ethan’s penthouse. The storm outside was a fitting backdrop to the chaos brewing within. Ethan, Emma, and Jake gathered around the large dining table, which was now cluttered with files, maps, and photographs.Vincent Kane’s face stared back at them from every angle, his cold, calculating eyes a constant reminder of the enemy they faced.“He’s already making his move,” Jake said, breaking the tense silence. He placed a laptop on the table, showing a live feed from one of their surveillance drones. “Vincent’s men have been spotted near the docks. It looks like they’re smuggling weapons.”Ethan leaned forward, his sharp gaze fixed on the screen. “How many?”“At least two dozen men, heavily armed,” Jake replied.Emma, standing behind Ethan, frowned. “Why the docks? What’s he planning?”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “He’s building his arsenal. Preparing for a full-scale assault.”“On you?” Emma aske

The air inside the warehouse was heavy, each breath feeling like a gamble as Vincent’s mocking smirk widened. Ethan’s men held their weapons steady, but the tension was palpable—one wrong move could send the situation spiraling out of control.“You always did like theatrics, Vincent,” Ethan said, his voice calm despite the sniper’s laser dot still hovering over his chest.Vincent chuckled, casually walking closer, his hands in his pockets. “And you always liked pretending you were untouchable. Look where that’s gotten you.”“Right where I want to be,” Ethan replied coolly.The room fell silent, save for the faint hum of the building’s lights. Vincent stopped a few feet from Ethan, his predatory gaze locked onto him.“You’re bluffing,” Vincent said, narrowing his eyes.“Am I?” Ethan raised an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly.Before Vincent could respond, a faint buzz came from Ethan’s earpiece—a signal Jake had set for when reinforcements were in position. Ethan’s lips twitched into

The sun peeked through the curtains of Ethan's penthouse, casting a golden hue over the sleek, modern decor. Emma stirred on the couch, her medical journals scattered across the coffee table, evidence of another late night spent studying. Her peaceful slumber was broken by the faint hum of Ethan's wheelchair as he maneuvered into the living room.He paused at the sight of her, her hair slightly disheveled and her expression serene in sleep. A flicker of warmth crossed his usually stoic features, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared."You're going to ruin your back sleeping there," he said, his voice firm but quieter than usual.Emma jolted awake, blinking groggily before registering his presence. "Good morning to you too," she mumbled, stretching."You have a bed, Emma," Ethan said, rolling closer.She shrugged, giving him a sheepish grin. "The couch was closer to the coffee. Priorities."Ethan let out a quiet sigh, shaking his head. "Get up. We have a meeting in two hours."Emma

Ethan sat alone in his study, the faint hum of the city below barely registering in his mind. The meeting had taken more out of him than he cared to admit. His hands rested on the wheels of his chair, his body rigid with unspent tension.Emma’s words from earlier lingered in his mind: You’re not alone anymore.He clenched his jaw. What did she know about loneliness? About survival? Yet her stubborn determination to stand by him, even when he pushed her away, made him question everything he thought he knew about relationships.A soft knock broke the silence.“Come in,” he said, his voice sharper than intended.The door creaked open, and Emma stepped in cautiously. She was dressed in casual attire, a stark contrast to the poised professional who had accompanied him earlier.“Ethan,” she began, her tone tentative, “I know you hate interruptions, but I couldn’t sleep. I thought…” She trailed off, holding up a tray with two mugs. “Coffee?”He stared at her, unsure whether to send her away

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting soft, golden hues across the spacious bedroom. Ethan stirred awake, his sharp mind quickly remembering the events of the night before. He turned his head to find Emma still fast asleep, her face relaxed in peaceful slumber.For a moment, he allowed himself to admire her, the way the morning light caught in her hair and softened her features. She looked so different from the stubborn, opinionated woman who often challenged him. Vulnerable, even.What am I doing? he wondered, a pang of uncertainty creeping into his chest. This wasn’t part of his plan—letting anyone in, letting her in.He carefully moved to sit up, his legs still lifeless and frustratingly uncooperative. The wheelchair sat by the bedside, a reminder of his limitations. Ethan’s jaw tightened as he transferred himself to the chair, a motion he had perfected out of necessity.He didn’t notice Emma stir awake until her soft voice broke the silence.“You’re up early.

The silence between them stretched as Ethan’s confession lingered in the air. Emma didn’t press him further; she knew from experience that forcing him would only make him retreat deeper into his shell. Instead, she stood and began pushing his wheelchair again, letting him set the pace of their conversation.As they rounded a corner of the garden, the estate's sprawling fountain came into view. The cascading water glimmered under the late afternoon sun, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the storm of emotions Ethan was wrestling with.Emma broke the silence, her tone light but meaningful. “You know, when I was a kid, I used to think fountains were magical. I thought if you tossed in a coin and made a wish, it would come true.”Ethan arched a brow, his lips curving slightly. “And how many wishes did you make?”“Countless,” she admitted with a soft laugh. “Most of them were silly—like wishing for endless chocolate or a pony. But there was one I made every time.”“W

The gentle hum of birds in the garden wasn’t enough to silence the storm brewing in Ethan’s mind. Emma walked beside him, her hand lightly resting on the handle of his wheelchair. She had insisted on pushing him, despite his protests, claiming it was “therapeutic” for them both.Ethan, for once, relented.The garden was sprawling and serene, the afternoon sun casting golden streaks across the well-manicured hedges and blooming flowers. Emma guided him along the cobblestone path, her chatter filling the silence he was so used to.“And you wouldn’t believe the amount of trouble I got into sneaking textbooks into my room,” Emma said with a soft laugh. “My parents thought I was obsessed with novels, but in reality, I was devouring medical journals.”Ethan glanced at her, intrigued despite himself. “You really went through all that to study medicine?”Her smile faltered briefly, but she nodded. “It was the only thing that made me feel alive—like I had a purpose. Being the unwanted daughter

The day unfolded with a tense stillness that neither Ethan nor Emma dared to break. He had retreated to his office, burying himself in work, while Emma busied herself with household tasks. But the unspoken words between them lingered like a storm cloud, threatening to break at any moment.By afternoon, Emma decided she couldn’t take the suffocating silence any longer. She found Ethan in his office, his wheelchair angled toward the large mahogany desk cluttered with files. His brow was furrowed in concentration, but she could tell he was using work as an excuse to avoid their earlier conversation.“Ethan,” she said, stepping into the room.He didn’t look up. “If this is about breakfast—”“It’s not,” she interrupted, her voice steady. “It’s about us.”Ethan’s hand stilled over a document, his jaw tightening. He sighed and finally looked at her. “There is no ‘us,’ Emma. I thought I made that clear this morning.”She crossed her arms, refusing to back down. “You don’t get to decide that o
