Elise Stanton has one dream: to study medicine. When she earns a coveted spot in medical school, her future seems bright—until her parents present her with an ultimatum. The only way they’ll pay her tuition is if she marries Alejandro Mendoza, the disabled heir to a powerful family. “Marry a stranger for money? Is that the price of my freedom?” Elise protests, her voice trembling with frustration. “Clara gets her luxuries handed to her, but I have to sell my life to pursue my dream?” In her family’s eyes, she is always second-best, a shadow to her younger sister, Clara. Left with no other choice, Elise agrees to her parents’ condition. Then she meets Alejandro Mendoza. Confined to a wheelchair, Alejandro is bitter and guarded, his piercing gaze a wall against the world. But when Elise examines his condition, her sharp medical instincts kick in. “The doctors had a wrong diagnosis,” she insists. “Your condition is reversible.” Alejandro narrows his eyes. “Why are you doing this? What do you want?” Her answer is simple: “I’ll help you recover, and when you can walk again, this marriage ends.”

The Disabled CEO is my Husband. Chapter 45
The secondary living room was just a few rooms away from the main hall but it was a world away from the bling and decor of the charity event. Elise stood near the window, the cool glass pressing against her fingertips as she stared out mindlessly at the estate’s sprawling lawn. Alejandro paced behind her, his footsteps muffled by the thick rug. He took off his tuxedo jacket, tossed it over a chair, and hung his tie loose around his neck. “You didn’t have to hear that,” he said, his voice rough but much quiet like he was trying to pull himself back. “ I don’t know what she was thinking. Mariana, she has no right to do that.”Elise turned, her dress rustling faintly as she faced him. “You ended the contracts,” the words slipped out roughly from her lips. “With her family. Just like that.”He stopped pacing and locked his eyes on hers. “Yes, of course,” Alejandro moved closer, close enough that she could smell the faint cedar of his cologne. “They don’t get to talk to you like that.

The charity event had drawn the city’s elite, pouring in as men in tailored suits with women wearing expensive jewels with their laughter mingling with the clink of champagne glasses. Ellse stood near the edge of the grand room, the gold necklace cool against her skin. It was beautiful, no doubt, but it sat there like an extra weight on her skin. After her encounter with Lucas and every other preparation that had to be carried out, she changed into a dress fitting for the event with a quick makeup touch-up.She smoothed her dress, a deep emerald that hugged her just enough to show the very faint curve of her stomach to only the people who could notice, while her eyes scanned the crowd.Alejandro arrived then, moving through the room like he owned it, which in a way, he did. It was their occasion and he was the face of Mendoza Holdings, the pioneer of the foundation.His tuxedo was sharp, with the black fabric catching the light as he moved, searching for Elise and his eyes found her

The events that took place at the previous dinner were possibly not lesson enough for Elise because on this morning again, she was dressing up to visit the Mendoza mansion. Alejandro adjusted his tie as he faced her. “Are you sure you want to go?”She tossed her lip gloss into her bag and nodded. “Yes.”Her encounter with Mariana was not the best, as much as she appreciated that she had been firm with her about staying off her child. But nothing else had happened after that. “You know you could just stay back though? I will come pick you up after work to join.”She heaved. “Alejandro, I want to be there. Your mom said the foundation does not usually give charity at this time of the year. It’s happening now because I am pregnant, at least from what she said. It will be wrong if I’m absent from the meeting.”He nodded against his will. “You have a point.”He was more worried because he was not going to be there with her especially as he had to go to work and leaving her with his mothe

As if Alejandro had read her mind, his voice cut through the elegant clatter of dinnerware being arranged.“Mother,” he said, his eyes burning with anger, “what is Mariana doing here?”The room stilled. Elise, still standing beside him, watched as Mrs. Mendoza’s face remained perfectly composed. Too composed like it was normal for Mariana to be present.Mrs. Mendoza let out a soft laugh, the kind that tried to brush tension away. “Darling, don’t be so dramatic. Mariana stopped by, and since we’re all family—regardless of…you know, past misunderstandings—I didn’t think there would be any harm in her joining us.”Elise didn’t flinch, at least not to the attention of anybody. But her grip around her clutch tightened, as her nails dug slightly into the soft leather.She scoffed. “Family.”How did she for a moment forget the people that she was dealing with?Alejandro’s face was still stiff. “Mother, you should have asked me before making her stay. It’s a family dinner, and I don’t want h

Resting in the hospital made her feel some kind of weakness that Elise did not appreciate, till somehow Alejandro noticed and ensured her discharge papers were processed faster. Now they were back to the house, as Alejandro’s car just drove into the mansion. The excitement Elise was beginning to force out died as soon as she noticed that Diane was not part of the staff waiting for her. Which meant she was not back from her leave. She sighed, reaching to unlock the door before Alejandro rushed to her side.“Take it easy,” he smiled, “Let me help you.”She nodded, then stepped out when he did. Stepping into the house compared to how she had left only made the weight in her chest feel heavier. Because her family was still there to deal with, there was her insecurity with Mariana, and now she is pregnant. Interesting.“Where are you going to?”“My room.”“No no, let’s stay together. I don’t want us to be away, I need to watch you and our baby.”Elise shook her head, but internally, sh

The words had not left the doctor’s mouth completely when Alejandro blinked once, then twice trying to make sense of them.“Pregnant?” he repeated like he had maybe been mistaken.The doctor gave a light nod, smiling as though he had just delivered the best news in the world, one of the things he was good at doing. “Yes, Mr. Mendoza. From the scan reports, she is a little over five weeks old. We will carry out more tests to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly. But right now, it’s safe to say congratulations.”For a beat, Alejandro couldn’t speak. His heart pounded in his chest, and every corner of his mind spun as the reality hit him all at once.Elise was pregnant. They were going to have a child.Before Elise, he had never actively considered having children. But with her, he had longed for everything that would make them a complete family. Goodness, he loved her in ways that were almost beginning to terrify him and now they were going to have a child? His child?His ex

As soon as she arrived back home, Elise moved straight to her room and shut the door behind her. Her pulse was still raised from the confrontation with her parents and as much as she had acted like she was strong in their presence, she was not. Once she settled on her bed, she exhaled forcefully, pressing a hand on her forehead. The rush of adrenaline she had felt was fading, and now the emptiness of the whole situation was settling in her chest. Over and over again, the people that had caused her pain were the people that she cared about. Regardless of how she had acted indifferent towards them, a sure reality was that these people were her family. Talking about the murder that way was not part of her plan, but deep down, she hoped that they would think over it and be willing to change. But what were the odds? She took in another deep breath, shutting her eyes tight as though it helped clear the noise in her head. Long enough, she had understood that love was not what she shou

Never would she have believed that to shut her down, her father was ever going to raise his hands on her. She saw it clearly, his fingers holding tightly to the picture frame as he approached her. The fear of what he was going to do with it almost made her heart skip out of its cage, but she held still. “Go ahead, hit me!” She yelled out, almost at the same time as she stood. Charles Stanton halted immediately, surprise evident in his eyes as he watched her challenge him. “No, do it.” She pressed on, “hit me.”“Father, is that not what you were about to do?”The air between them became tense, so much so that Margaret Stanton shifted uneasily in her seat. Clara’s lips that were curved into a smile watching her father almost harass Elise fell downwards. She stood up, “Father, are you going to let her talk to you that way?Charles's gaze rotated between Clara, and back to Elise and his grip on the picture frame was still tight though his hands dropped to his side. Elise inhaled deep

Yes, she knew she had a problem with communication. It was not like she never tried.Before she got into this arrangement with Alejandro, she was communicating her needs when her parents tossed her into it. Even with Alejandro, she had always been clear with what she wanted from the start. And when the time came, for him to keep to his words from the ‘communication,’ he acted like no conversation was ever heard. Different scenarios, but the same results repeated itself.Elise was starting to believe that every time she opened her mouth to communicate, the universe took it as an invitation to throw her into even worse situations that she had not asked for.Now sitting alone on the edge of her bed, she was still reeling in thoughts, wondering what the surprise was that Alejandro had for her. What were the chances that it was not the calm before the storm? She chuckled wearily at the thought that crossed through her head. As much as she wanted to wave it off as being too extreme, it w

Chapter 1: Freedom, at what cost?
“Mom, Dad… please. The admissions are open, and I passed. Please help me with $20,000 so I can pay my school fees and secure my admission spot,” Elise said, her voice trembling as she knelt on the cold, tiled floor of the living room. Her clasped hands and pleading eyes showed how much she needed their help. Margaret, her mother, barely looked up from her magazine, as she continued flipping a page with a bored expression. Her father’s gaze shifted briefly to her, but the indifference in his eyes felt worse than outrightly saying no. “We’ll give you the money,” her father, Charles, said at last, setting down his coffee cup. Relief washed over Elise, but it was fleeting and only for a moment. “On one condition,” he added, his voice sharp. “You’ll marry Alejandro Mendoza.” The words hit Elise like a slap. She froze, her heart sinking as she processed what he’d said. “What are you saying, Father?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Marry? But I don’t even know him! Father, d...
