Xander

“There is no movement surrounding Nathan and his mother for now,” Luke said. “As of this morning, we have yet to identify the person behind the maid. The woman who hired her was found dead in her home yesterday. Apparent suicide.”

I sat in the chair, one hand resting on the armrest while the other curled loosely around a steaming cup of coffee. I listened to Luke’s words with detached indifference, the faint aroma of the coffee wafting up to me.

Without a word, I lifted the cup to my lips, taking a slow sip.

Of course, I had expected it. The person involved was thorough. They didn’t leave loose ends, didn’t let anything slip through the cracks. Every move they made was calculated. Smart.

But I was smarter.

My eyes flicked to Luke, his hands clasped behind his back as he delivered his report.

“What about the knife?” I asked, “Have you found out anything about it?”

Luke nodded, “It’s just as you suspected, sir,” he said. “Because of the unique design, we’ve mana

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 21| I will take you back

    Eve Eyes as intoxicating as sin, tousled hair made for tugging, and a body that could ruin a woman—every hard muscle pressed against me, claiming me. I let out a shaky breath, my thighs clenching involuntarily as I tried to focus on the papers in front of me. But it was no use. My thoughts kept circling back to that night. To him. I did it. I let someone touch me. And the worst part? That person wasn’t the one I ever thought it would be. My fingers tightened on the pen in my hand as heat crept up my neck. No matter how much I told myself to let it go, my mind replayed it in vivid detail. The way his hand felt, the way he knew exactly what to do, as though he’d studied me, memorized every way to break me apart. I should regret it. I do regret it. After how he treated me yesterday afterwards, I should be angry, put off by his behaviour. Damn, I should have even slapped his face. But if I were given the same chance again, I knew deep down I would have done it again.

    Eve “I’ve decided to forgive you for your actions yesterday. If you apologize deeply, of course. I’ll take you back.” “What?” I stared at him, stunned. Of all the absurd, condescending things I’d heard in my life—and trust me, there had been plenty—this? This was the cherry on the cake. He actually had the audacity to say that. For a moment, I wondered if I’d misheard him. Maybe my exhaustion was playing tricks on me. But no. The self-satisfied smirk on his face confirmed that I’d heard him perfectly. He thought I’d grovel for him, that I’d crawl back to him like nothing had happened. As if I didn’t know exactly what kind of man he was. Nick was a liar, a cheat, and a master manipulator. The nerve of him. I felt a flicker of anger spark deep inside my chest, small at first but growing quickly, spreading like wildfire. My jaw tightened as I struggled to keep my expression neutral. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 23| I will personally ensure you lose that hand of yours.

    Eve Hickey? Oh, right. I had a hickey on my neck. I mentally groaned at myself as the memory came rushing back. This morning had been a disaster from the start. After what happened last night, the humiliation was too much. I couldn’t stay in that house and leave the next day in shame. So, to maintain the little dignity I had left, I left immediately. But surprisingly, his driver drove me home, leaving me even more confused about what his feelings truly were. I barely slept when I got home, my mind racing with everything that had happened. When I finally dragged myself out of bed, I was running late, so I hadn’t even taken a proper look in the mirror. It wasn’t until I was wearing my dress that I saw it. The faint bruise on my neck, just above my collarbone—a mark that practically screamed “lovely bite.” My face had flushed red as I stared at it, realizing there was no time to cover it properly. So, I had no choice but to pull my hair down, letting the strands fall stra

    Eve “If she has to repeat herself again, Doctor Nick, I will personally ensure you lose that hand of yours.” Theodore’s voice was calm and cold, but there was something beneath it—a barely restrained anger. Both Nick and I froze at the sound of his voice. His tone wasn’t loud, yet it carried a weight so sharp, it sent chills down my spine. “M-Mr. Theodore, I—” Nick stammered once more, but Theodore’s icy gaze snapped towards him, silencing him instantly. He stopped mid-sentence, his mouth clamping shut as his eyes darted between me and Theodore. I could feel the tension radiating from him as he quickly pulled away from me, stepping back like the coward he was. The relief was immediate. The pain in my scalp subsided, and I exhaled shakily, reaching up to rub my head, gently massaging the spot where Nick had yanked my hair. My fingers brushed against my neck, and I winced slightly, more out of annoyance than pain. I was this close to putting this bastard in his place. I glan

    Eve The cold air touched my face as soon as I opened the door, blowing my hair back and wrapping around me like a much-needed escape. I closed my eyes for a moment and breathed deeply, letting the tension in my chest ease just a little. Out here, it was easier to think, to breathe, compared to the suffocating atmosphere of the hospital and that stifling office. If I could have left work early, I would’ve walked out and never looked back—at least for today. I would’ve done anything not to see Nick’s face again. Stretching my arms over my head, I let out a long sigh, trying to shake off the tension in my body. But just as I was about to relax, a hand tapped my shoulder. I yelped, my heart nearly jumping out of my chest as I spun around, clutching at the front of my coat. Theodore stood there, watching me, one eyebrow raised. “What happened? Did I hurt you?” he asked, tilting his head slightly as if to check if he had injured my shoulder. I blinked at him, my breath still c

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 26| You're going to die

    Eve Twelve years ago “You’re going to die,” I said flatly, my voice cutting through the noisy church cafeteria like a knife. All movement stopped. Forks clattered onto plates, spoons paused mid-air. Every child in the room turned to look at me, their eyes wide with disbelief. The boy sitting across from me froze, his fork still in his hand. He was fourteen, a year older than me, but his skinny frame made him look much younger. His shirt, clearly a hand-me-down, hung off his shoulders, baggy and loose. Clothes that might’ve been too tight on me looked as though they were swallowing him whole. “What?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “You’re going to die,” I repeated. I didn’t care that we were in the middle of the cafeteria or that everyone was staring at me. It was just the truth, plain and simple. His fork dropped from his hand, clanging against his plate. His lips trembled, and before I knew it, tears welled up in his eyes. Then he started crying. Loud, hiccuping

    Eve Present Day Weak. I acted weak. I did everything I was told to do. I thought if I acted weak—if I just became what everyone wanted me to be—I’d finally be enough. That I’d finally have a place. When I was twelve, I might have been quiet, cold, and weird, but I was still a child. And like every other child, I just wanted a family. I just wanted someone to love me, someone to tell me I belonged. That twelve-year-old girl had been brave in her own way, standing firm when everyone mocked her, ridiculed her, hated her. But eventually, she changed. I changed. I started smiling when I didn’t feel like it. I made myself smaller, quieter. I pretended to be scared, stupid, weak. Anything to make people feel comfortable around me. I let people walk over me because I thought that was the answer. That if I just played my part, I’d finally get what I was looking for. But I kept asking myself over the years—was this really the answer I had been searching for? Would it ever be

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 28| She left you a will

    Eve I sat on the hard plastic chair outside the ER, my hands trembling as they rested on my lap. My legs shook uncontrollably, and I couldn’t stop the restless tapping of my foot against the tiled floor. It wasn’t cold, but I felt like I was freezing. I could barely feel my hand or move my fingertip. After saving her life, the fear of losing her wouldn’t leave me. My whole body wouldn’t listen to me anymore. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together, but it wasn’t working. This didn’t feel real. None of it. It felt like a movie I’d accidentally walked into—a scene playing out that I didn’t understand, that I wasn’t ready for. It felt as though I was dreaming, but no matter how hard I forced myself to wake up, I kept waking up to this reality. My chest tightened as I replayed the moment in my head. The way Ava had looked so small, so fragile on that hospital bed. The way her heartbeat had slowed down right in front of me. The way it felt like everythin

    Eve The nurse wiped the sweat from my forehead, but I barely noticed. My hands ached, my fingers stiff from hours of careful work. I kept going. The damage was worse than I had expected. His bones were shattered beyond recognition, nerves barely holding together. It was almost impossible to fix. Almost. I heard that he had a car accident when he was a child and lost his legs. He had been unable to walk since then, and because of the extent of the damage, doctors gave up on him, believing that not treating him was better than risking failure. And I also doubted myself. My mind was telling me that this couldn’t work, that no matter what I did, Xander would never walk again. My fingers paused for a second, until I looked up. Mr. Winters stood behind the glass, watching everything with the man from the other day. And my eyes drifted down on the operating table before me, I stared at the unconscious Xander. I clenched my jaw. No. I had to keep going. Nick was across from me,

    Eve I exhaled sharply and pulled away from Xander. He didn’t resist anymore, simply falling onto the other side of the bed. His breathing was slow, the drug must have taken effect. I reached out, adjusting his head on the bed so he wouldn’t be uncomfortable. My fingers lingered for a second longer than necessary before I pulled back and stood up. I turned toward the door, but before I could open it, Nick’s voice stopped me. “Eve, we need to talk.” I said, but I didn’t let him finish. I opened the door and walked out of the door. He followed me. “Eve, why have you been ignoring me? We should talk about us.” I sighed and turned around. His expression was different from before; he had never looked at me with those desperate, pleading eyes. It was as if he would do anything for me to hear him out, but I was too drained to even try to figure out what he wanted. “Mr. Nick, I have nothing to talk to you about.” “But we are—” I held up a hand, cutting him off. “Mr. Nick, there is no

    Eve I stepped into the room, closing the door behind me and walked closer to the bed. My eyes landed on the man lying there, his face relaxed, chest rising and falling in a rhythm. I had never seen him look this peaceful before. It had been a while, but I still remembered every detail of his face and how we met. The first time we met, I wanted to jump from that bridge, but he saved me. And I fell into his lap. But all I could think about then was how attractive he was. Still, to this day, I often thought about how his eyes looked back then. When I gazed into them, I was captivated. The sunlight streamed in, touching his face. Instinctively, I lifted my hand, shielding him from it. I didn’t know why I did it, I just didn’t want anything to disturb his sleep. My arm began to ache from the awkward position, but I didn’t put it down. I shook my head, muttering to myself. “What are you doing, Eve? This is stupi—” "What are you doing?" The deep voice made me freeze. Impossible.

    Mia I took a spoonful of salad and smiled at the taste. Normally, I hated salad. It always felt bland, like I was chewing on air. The only reason I ever ate it was because I had to maintain my figure, and my mother constantly monitored my meals. But today… today, for some reason, it tasted exceptional. The crisp cabbage, the fresh greens, it was as if every bite melted in my mouth. The more I chewed, the more I wanted to keep eating. A glass of water appeared in front of me. My mother sat down across from me, watching me with a curious smile. "You seem to be in a good mood today." I looked up from my plate, tilting my head slightly. "You think so?" She chuckled. "Yes, I do. Did something good happen?" I smirked, twirling my fork between my fingers. "You could say that, Mother. Something good will happen soon. All our problems will be gone, and we can finally be at peace." A deep voice interrupted from behind. "Is that so? I wonder what it is." I turned, already knowing who it

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 106| What did you do, Chloe

    Eve The question surprised me that I almost forgot to breathe. Xander? Why was he asking me about Xander? I blinked at Theodore, my lips parting slightly in confusion. I didn’t expect this. And it wasn’t just him…..Xander’s father had asked me this before. Why was everyone so curious? Why was he so curious? "Theodore, I—" I hesitated, searching his face. "Why are you asking?" His gaze was locked unto mine, like he was looking for something in me. Something I wasn’t sure I knew the answer to. I swallowed and turned my eyes to the sky instead, focusing on the stars. "I don’t understand why you’re asking this, but… someone else asked me the same question once." I paused, collecting my thoughts. "I didn’t answer him." I felt Theodore’s silence, he was patiently waiting for me to continue. I took a slow breath and finally said, "To me, Xander is like a child." I didn’t need to look at Theodore to know I had shocked him with my answer. "A child?" I nodded. "He is like a child who

    Eve I felt warmth spread through me as I watched them. This… this is what family is supposed to feel like. I had never felt like this with my family before. My blood family always made me feel like I didn't belong. Even on my birthday, it was always about Mia. I had never had a party for me before. Grace playfully smacked her husband’s arm. "Can you stop staring?" Benjamin barely looked at her, still focused on me. "I’m just shocked," he admitted. "I mean, can you blame me? I don’t know why we didn’t see it before. She looks exactly like she did when she was younger. The sweet, innocent girl that always told me to watch my blood pressure. She is right in front of me. Unbelievable." Grace turned to me with a soft smile. "Yes, she’s still a beautiful young lady." I blushed at her words, poking at my food. I wasn’t used to compliments like that, especially from women who really meant it. After everything that happened, the tension in the room had lifted. Theodore and Grace ha

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 104| I had always wanted a daughter

    Grace I had always wanted a daughter. I didn’t know why, but the thought of having a little girl to dress up, to love, to protect, it was a dream I held close to my heart. The moment I found out I was pregnant, I rushed to buy baby clothes, all in shades of pink. I decorated the nursery with soft pastels, imagining the laughter of a baby girl filling the room. So when the doctor told me I was carrying a boy, I won’t lie, I was a little bit disappointed, but it was just for a moment. Then I reminded myself that this was my child, my son, and I would love him just as fiercely. I wanted a girl but I wasn't going to make my son feel bad about it. Still, when Benjamin and I tried again, I was determined. This time, it had to be a girl. I did everything, followed old wives' tales, changed my diet, even explored different religions despite coming from a strict Christian family. I prayed, I wished, I hoped. And when the doctor finally confirmed it, I couldn’t believe it. A girl. A m

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 103| I’m Eve from the orphanage

    Eve I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the light blue dress that clung to my body perfectly. It highlighted every curve, making me look… beautiful. My hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, and my fair skin seemed to glow under the soft lighting. I stared at my reflection for a moment longer, taking it all in, before grabbing my bag from the table and stepping out of the room. I walked down the hall to Theodore’s room, only to find him still buttoning his shirt. I sighed. “Are you still buttoning your shirt? We’ll be late for the farewell party.” Theodore glanced up, a lazy smile on his lips. “It’s just the three of us, Eve. You, Daisy, and me. And knowing Daisy, she’s probably not even there yet.” I rolled my eyes and walked over to him, taking the buttons from his hand and fastening them myself. “That doesn’t mean we should be late,” I muttered. “I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, and I want everything to be perfect.” His smile froze for a second before he nodded

    Eve His words echoed in my head, and I tried to keep a straight face, but I couldn’t. Xander? This man wanted me to fix Xander’s leg? I clenched my hands into fists. I didn’t know what to feel about this. It was a stupid request. How could he ask an intern to treat his son's legs just because some of my surgeries had been successful? It didn’t make sense. He was the richest man in the world, he could bring in the most talented doctors from anywhere. Yet, he was asking me? I swallowed hard and turned to him. “Mr. Winters, with all due respect, this doesn’t make sense. I can’t possibly—” “Make sense?” he cut in. “I don’t do things that don’t make sense, Eve. I only make decisions after calculating every possibility, and every answer leads to you. You are the only one who can heal his legs.” I stiffened, my gaze dropping to my lap. Me? Only I can do it? I bit my lip. I didn’t want to admit it, but deep down, I knew he was right. When I examined Xander’s legs at the bridge,
