Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 23: Unveiling Shadows
The black rose sat on Ethan’s desk, its dark petals a chilling contrast to the bright morning sunlight filtering through the window. The note that accompanied it was now tucked into his drawer, but its message lingered in the air like an unspoken threat.Emma stood near the window, arms crossed, her brows furrowed in thought.“We can’t ignore this,” she said, breaking the silence. “Whoever sent that message knows where you live, Ethan. They’re making this personal.”Ethan leaned back in his wheelchair, his fingers steepled in front of him. “That’s exactly what they want, to rattle us. But I won’t give them the satisfaction.”“Rattled or not, this is serious.” Emma turned to face him, her expression resolute. “We need to figure out who’s behind this before they escalate.”Ethan nodded, his jaw tightening. “I already have Caleb working on it. He’s the best at digging up dirt, and he won’t stop until he finds something useful.”Emma hesitated, then added, “What about me? I could help.”H

The boardroom at Johnson Industries was a storm of chaos. The tension was palpable, the air thick with unspoken accusations and veiled threats. Ethan sat at the head of the table, his wheelchair a silent reminder of the battles he was fighting both physically and professionally. His cold, sharp gaze swept across the room, silencing murmurs and commanding attention. Caleb stood behind him, arms crossed, his presence a formidable one. Emma, however, remained seated at Ethan’s side, her resolve unwavering as she faced the board members who had once supported Ethan but were now turning their backs. “We’ve reviewed the reports,” one of the senior board members, Mr. Gaines, began cautiously. “And it’s clear that the recent leak has caused significant damage to the company’s reputation.” Ethan leaned forward, his tone icy. “The leak wasn’t caused by me. It was caused by Jason Carter. He’s the one who sold our confidential data to our competitors.” Gaines hesitated. “Even if that’s true, t

The boardroom lights dimmed, leaving Ethan to face the flickering light of the projector. The evidence Caleb had presented had been damning, yet it wasn’t enough to shift the tide. Jason Carter sat smugly at the far end of the table, his arrogance grating against Ethan’s every nerve.“I’ll have the auditor verify the files,” Mr. Gaines finally said, his hesitant voice cutting through the tense silence.Ethan’s cold laugh echoed in the room. “Verify? That will take weeks, time Jason will use to bury any trace of his betrayal.”Jason leaned forward, feigning concern. “Ethan, I understand you’re under a lot of pressure, but baseless accusations won’t solve the company’s problems. Perhaps it’s time you stepped aside for the sake of Johnson Industries.”Caleb slammed his hands on the table. “You’re the problem, Jason, and you know it!”“Enough!” Gaines snapped, rubbing his temples. “This infighting is tearing us apart. Until further notice, Jason remains acting CEO. This meeting is adjourn

The leaked article sent shockwaves through Johnson Industries. Overnight, whispers turned into roars as speculation about Project Zenith dominated headlines and boardroom discussions. Ethan's already precarious position became even more fragile, and his enemies saw this as their chance to strike the final blow.Emma paced the length of the study, her mind racing. “This leak wasn’t an accident, Ethan. Someone wanted to sabotage you before you could present Project Zenith on your terms.”Ethan sat by the window, his sharp eyes scanning the distant city skyline. His usual calm was strained, his mind replaying the events that had led to this moment.“Jason,” Ethan muttered, his voice a low growl. “He must have leaked it. Who else would benefit from tarnishing my name further?”Caleb, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, finally spoke. “We need to find out how he got the files. That information was supposed to be classified.”Ethan nodded. “Start digging. I don’t care what it takes, fi

Ethan’s office plunged into a tense silence. Caleb’s revelation hung in the air like a heavy storm cloud waiting to break.“Inside the family?” Ethan repeated, his voice cold, deliberate.Caleb nodded, his unease palpable. “I traced the leaked files to a personal login. It belongs to... your cousin, Mason.”Ethan’s jaw clenched. Mason, the younger cousin who had always hovered in the background, was never fully trusted but tolerated because of family ties. Ethan’s fingers tightened on the armrest of his wheelchair, his knuckles white.Emma’s eyes darted between them, her stomach knotting. She didn’t know much about Ethan’s family, but she could see this betrayal hit deep. “Mason? Why would he do this?”Caleb sighed. “Mason’s been working with Jason for months. It seems they’ve been planning to oust Ethan together. They’ve both been siphoning company funds and leaking confidential information to weaken your position.”Ethan’s eyes darkened, the fury in them barely restrained. “Where is

The ominous words from Jason’s call echoed in Ethan’s mind as he sat in his office, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on him.“What could he possibly mean by ‘one last card’?” Emma asked, pacing the room. Her nervous energy filled the space, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.Ethan’s expression was unreadable, his hands steepled under his chin. “Jason thrives on manipulation. Whatever he’s planning, it’s meant to throw us off balance. But we won’t let him win.”Caleb, seated across from Ethan, frowned as he reviewed documents on his tablet. “We’ve got the evidence against him and Mason. The shareholders’ meeting tomorrow will seal their fate. I can’t imagine what leverage he could have left.”Emma stopped pacing and faced Ethan. “What if it’s something personal? He knows you better than most. Maybe he’s trying to attack your image or... your past?”Ethan’s jaw tightened. His past was a closed chapter, a place he rarely revisited. If Jason was desperate enough to dig

The aftermath of Jason’s departure left a ripple effect throughout the company. While Ethan had managed to secure his position and expose Jason’s crimes, the media frenzy and internal unrest were far from over. Ethan sat in his office, gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His expression was stoic, but his hands rested heavily on the desk, betraying the strain he was under. Emma walked in with a stack of papers, her brows furrowed. “The PR team has drafted statements for you to review. The media is already spinning the Richard Ford footage, even though we’ve provided evidence of its manipulation.” Ethan turned his chair to face her, his piercing gaze meeting hers. “Let them. Scandals fade, but the company’s integrity must remain untarnished. What’s the sentiment within the board?” Emma placed the papers on his desk and leaned slightly against the edge. “Mixed. Some are relieved Jason is gone, but others are questioning your leadership, given the footage. It’s going to tak

The days following Ethan Johnson’s partial reinstatement were filled with tension and uncertainty. The media had begun shifting its focus, but within the company, whispers lingered. Ethan’s disability, though handled with care, remained a point of speculation among the staff and board members. Ethan had always been a man who commanded respect and fear in equal measure. Now, confined to his wheelchair, he was learning to lead in a way that didn’t rely on his physical presence but on the sheer force of his will. Emma stood outside the meeting room, a bundle of files clutched to her chest. Inside, the board members were gathered, awaiting Ethan’s arrival. She glanced at her watch nervously; he was late. Moments later, the doors swung open, and Ethan entered. Caleb pushed his wheelchair while Ethan sat with his usual composed demeanor. His sharp suit was impeccable, and his icy gaze swept across the room, silencing any murmurs. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Ethan began, his voice cutting thr

The room was filled with a sense of quiet anticipation as the hours ticked on. The sterile smell of the hospital and the steady beep of machines were the only sounds breaking the silence.

Ethan was right there, holding her hand with a firmness that grounded her, as if reminding her that together, they could handle anything.

Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 169 – The Calm Before the Storm
The days leading up to Emma's due date were a whirlwind of final preparations. The nursery was perfect, everything from the soft blue walls to the cozy crib. Emma had gone through every possible checklist, from baby clothes to diapers, and the little stuffed animals that would line the shelves, each one symbolizing the new life they were about to welcome into the world.But as much as Emma wanted to feel ready, she couldn't shake the restlessness that had settled in her chest. She was about to become a mother, a role she had never fully imagined for herself until recently, and while she was excited, she was also terrified. The thought of holding their baby, of everything changing, felt overwhelming at times.Ethan had been nothing short of a rock.

Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 168 – Preparing for the Unknown
The days were blending into one long stretch of anticipation. Every morning, Emma would wake up to Ethan’s gentle kisses on her forehead, feeling the warmth of his love as he checked in on her and the baby. It had been several months since they’d received the news, and though Emma had grown used to the idea of becoming a mother, it still felt surreal at times. There were moments when she would find herself staring at her reflection in the mirror, wondering if she was truly ready for the next chapter of her life.It was the middle of the week when Emma felt the baby kick harder than ever before. Startled, she pressed her hand to her belly, feeling the fluttering movement beneath her fingertips. The baby had been moving regularly, but this sensation was different, stronger. For a moment, she marveled at the feeling, but then a wave of anxiety washed over her. She hadn’t experienced anything quite like this before, and she couldn’t help but wonder if it was a sign of something.Ethan had
Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 167 – New Beginnings
The days were growing warmer, the air thick with the promise of spring, and Emma felt the subtle changes in her body—new aches, new demands from the life growing inside her. As much as she had initially dreaded the idea of giving up her independence, of needing to rest and take it easy, she had found solace in the quiet moments of the past weeks. Time had slowed down, and she could finally catch her breath.Ethan had been her rock, more attentive than she ever could have imagined. His love for her was evident in every action, from the way he’d sit beside her for hours, just talking about their future, to how he’d insist on doing everything for her, even when she tried to push back. The pregnancy had created an even deeper bond between them, and despite the uncertainty they both felt about their future, Emma knew one thing for sure: they were in this together.But she still had her moments of doubt. She couldn’t help but worry about the transition. Would they really be able to handle i
Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 166 – The Weight of Responsibility
The weeks that followed Emma’s doctor’s appointment were filled with tension and uncertainty. Bed rest had become a part of her daily routine, and while she appreciated the extra attention from Ethan, she couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness that had settled within her. She had always been independent, able to take charge of her own life, but now, she felt like she was drifting in a sea of unknowns, with only Ethan’s steady presence keeping her afloat.Ethan had taken time off from work to be with her, his usual drive and focus diverted entirely to her and the baby. He was always there, sitting beside her, talking to her, reassuring her that everything would be okay. But Emma could see the way the weight of responsibility was beginning to take its toll on him. His jaw was set in a permanent line of determination, his brow furrowed as if the entire world rested on his shoulders.One night, after dinner, as they sat together on the couch in the dim light of their living room, Emma
Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 165 – The Calm Before the Storm
The days were ticking by at an increasingly rapid pace, and with each passing moment, Emma and Ethan’s anticipation for their baby’s arrival grew. There were moments of quiet joy, of course, but underneath it all, there was a sense of urgency that neither of them could ignore. It wasn’t just about getting the nursery ready or finalizing baby names anymore—it was about preparing their hearts, their minds, and their lives for a huge, life-changing shift.Ethan had grown more introspective in the last few weeks. He was known for his relentless drive, his unwavering determination, but with the baby on the way, he began to think more about his legacy—about what kind of father he wanted to be, what kind of role model he would become. He was used to being the one who solved problems, who called the shots, who dominated the room. But now, as he stood next to Emma, his hand resting gently on her round belly, he realized that nothing he had ever done in his life would compare to the responsibil
Married To The Disabled CEO Chapter 164 – New Beginnings
The days passed by quickly, and with each one, the anticipation of the baby’s arrival grew. Emma and Ethan had settled into a routine of baby prep, work responsibilities, and, most importantly, supporting each other. Emma couldn’t help but marvel at the transformation in Ethan. Gone was the cold, business-focused man she once knew, replaced by a softer, more caring version who made her feel secure and loved. And although the thought of becoming parents still filled her with a mixture of excitement and fear, there was an undeniable sense of peace in knowing they were in this together.It was early one morning, just after sunrise, when Emma found herself staring out the window, contemplating the future. She hadn’t felt this content in a long time. As she gazed at the city skyline, she thought about everything they had been through—the heartbreak, the misunderstandings, the doubts—and how far they had come. She had come to understand that the road ahead would never be perfect. There woul

The days were starting to feel like a blur. Emma tried to stay focused, but the constant thoughts of the future—of the baby, of her relationship with Ethan, of what it all meant—kept intruding on her daily life. The weight of uncertainty seemed to follow her wherever she went, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that she was losing control.The baby was growing, and with each passing day, it felt more real.
