After the unexpected encounter with Seb, Sarah and Alexander made their way back to the office.

As soon as they entered the building, Alexander pressed a kiss against Sarah’s temple before heading toward the executive elevators.

“I’ll be in my office,” he murmured. “Call me if you need anything.”

Sarah smirked. “What could possibly happen on my first day?”

Alexander gave her a knowing look, as if he already had an answer to that.

Sarah shook her head and waved him off before making her way to the jewelry department.

The moment Sarah stepped into the department, all eyes turned to her.

She could feel the weight of their gazes, a mix of curiosity, admiration, and quiet resentment.

After all, they had all known her before. She had worked among them, learning the ropes under Elise Martin, the lead designer.

Now?

She was their boss.

Sarah didn’t let their stares intimidate her. Instead, she walked in with the same confidence she had when she walked into a race track, ready to dominate.

  • The Disabled CEO's Swapped Bride   Chapter 154

    As the sun dipped below the skyline, signaling the end of the workday, Sarah stretched in her chair, exhaling softly.It had been a day, one filled with unnecessary hostility from Elise and her own determination to prove she deserved her position.But she wasn’t discouraged. If anything, she felt more energized.Just as she was about to gather her things, a familiar presence filled the doorway.Alexander stood there, his imposing frame leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, his lips curled into that signature smirk. “Ready to go home, Mrs. Blake?”Sarah smiled, pushing herself up from the chair and walking toward him. “Depends,” she teased. “Are you here as my husband or my boss?”Alexander chuckled, reaching for her hand as he led her toward the elevator. “Both. But right now, I think I prefer to be your husband.”As they stepped into the elevator, Sarah let out a small sigh, rolling her shoulders. “It wasn’t bad,” she admitted when he asked about her first day. “But Elise clea

    The tires screeched against the asphalt as both cars launched forward, the force pushing them back into their seats.The track was a familiar beast, long curves, sharp turns, and unpredictable elevations. But they both knew every inch of it.Sarah took the lead first, weaving effortlessly around the bends, her movements precise.Alexander, however, was relentless.He pushed his car harder, catching up with every turn, keeping just enough pressure on her to remind her he was still right there.They raced like it was second nature.But tonight, Alexander wasn't just pushing Sarah for fun.He was making sure she was ready.Seb Hargrove wanted to get to his wife.But Alexander would make damn sure that when she faced him tonight, she would win.And when Sarah finally crossed the finish line, just a second before him, he let out a satisfied chuckle."Not bad," he mused as he stepped out of the car, walking toward her as she pulled off her helmet.Sarah grinned. "Not bad? I won."Alexander

    Inside the car, Sarah’s mind raced even faster than the flames outside.The air grew hotter, smoke already filling the cabin. Her seatbelt was jammed.She yanked at it, coughing as smoke stung her lungs.The door wouldn’t budge.Through the smoke and fire, she could barely make out the approaching figure.Alexander.He was moving like a man possessed, shoving people out of his way, his eyes locked on her.His suit jacket was already discarded, his hands reaching for the car door.“Sarah, hold on!”Through the ringing in her ears, she heard the panic in his voice.The same Alexander Blake who rarely let emotions show.The same man who commanded fear in boardrooms and battlefields alike.He was breaking apart in front of her eyes.Then...CRASH!Alexander used a metal rod from the track’s safety barrier and smashed the driver’s side window.Smoke poured out as he reached inside.“Take my hand!”Sarah’s fingers barely wrapped around his when...Another explosion rocked the vehicle, knock

    Back at the racetrack, Seb was trying to slip away unnoticed.The moment things had gone south, he knew he had to disappear before Alexander came for him.He moved quickly, heading for his car, the taste of blood still in his mouth from the punch Alexander had landed.He cursed under his breath, wiping his lip with the back of his hand."Shit, shit, shit," he muttered. This wasn’t supposed to happen.He had planned to humiliate Sarah, shake her confidence, maybe force her to see him as someone who could challenge her, but he never intended for her car to catch fire. That had been a mistake. A very, very dangerous mistake.His fingers curled around the door handle of his Jesko. Just as he was about to pull it open...SCREEECH!A blacked out motorcycle skidded to a stop right in front of him, the roaring engine cutting through the tension filled air.Seb took a startled step back.The rider dismounted in one smooth motion, removing the dark helmet to reveal a familiar face.Raven.Alexa

    The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air as Alexander paced the hospital corridor, his hands clenched into fists.The emergency lights cast a harsh glow over his chiseled features, his expression a storm of rage, fear, and frustration.Sarah lay behind the doors of the ICU, being treated for smoke inhalation and minor burns.She had passed out in his arms at the racetrack, her body limp, her breathing weak.The moment replayed in his mind like a nightmare, her pale face, her soft coughs, the way her fingers had gripped his shirt before she lost consciousness.Alexander had never felt fear like that before. Not when he took over the Blake empire. Not even when Gerald had tried to destroy him.This was different.This was Sarah.Carter who was back stood nearby, arms crossed, watching his friend and master with silent understanding. "Doc said she’s stable," he offered, but Alexander didn’t stop pacing."Stable isn’t enough." His voice was rough, edged with unspoken emotions.Carte

    Seb licked his lips nervously. “I just… I wanted her to notice me. She never looked at me.” His voice cracked with frustration. “I thought if I won, if I proved myself, she’d see me differently. That’s all I wanted!”Still, Alexander said nothing. His silence was worse than any shouted accusation.Seb’s breathing grew erratic. “The fire, it wasn’t planned! The car, I.. I don’t know what happened. It wasn’t supposed to catch fire! I didn’t mean for her to be in danger, I swear!”Alexander tilted his head slightly, as if considering. Then he scoffed. “And you think that makes a difference?”Seb flinched. “I’ll pay for the car,” he blurted out quickly. “And Sarah’s hospital bills, whatever it takes! Just...”A deep, humorless chuckle left Alexander’s lips, low and menacing. “You think I need your money?” He took another step forward, his presence suffocating. “Do I look like a man who gives a damn about a few burned cars?” His eyes darkened. “Or hospital bills?”Seb swallowed hard, shaki

    Alexander stepping out into the corridor, swiped to answer. "Blackwell.""Did you really shoot Gerald in the head?" Darius's voice was sharp, controlled.Alexander stilled, his grip on the phone tightening. "Yes. I shot him. Right in the head. Watched him fall.""Then why is there no body?" Darius countered, his words sending a cold wave down Alexander’s spine.A sharp exhale left Alexander’s lips. His blood hiked, boiling with a fury he hadn't felt in years.Gerald getting away was not something he had even considered. He had seen the man drop. He had been sure.If it were just about him, he wouldn't have cared. He could handle anything Gerald threw at him. But there was Sarah.Darius continued, his voice edged with something dangerous. "I’ll have my men check around the property. Maybe he dragged himself out of there. Or maybe someone helped him. If that’s the case, whoever it was went against me. And that means they’ll regret it."Alexander barely heard him. His mind raced. His jaw

    Alexander led Sarah outside after unveiling her in house designing room, only for her to be met with yet another surprise.In the driveway, a large box was wrapped neatly around what was unmistakably the silhouette of a car.Her heart pounded in anticipation. Knowing Alexander, he had likely gotten her another McLaren, but when she unwrapped it, her breath hitched.Inside the wrapping was not just any car, it was a brand new, high class racing machine, one she had never dreamed of driving.It made the McLaren that had nearly cost her life look like a toy in comparison.The sleek design, the gleaming body, the unmistakable power humming beneath its hood, it was beyond anything she had expected.Sarah’s jaw dropped as she stared at the vehicle in shock. "Alexander…" she whispered, turning to him with wide eyes. "How much did you spend on all of this?"Alexander smirked, tucking his hands into his pockets. "Does it matter? As long as you’re happy."Sarah’s emotions overwhelmed her. She l

    Gerald’s world had flipped, literally and figuratively.The scent of leaking gasoline still clung to his shredded suit.His once polished shoes were coated in blood and gravel, and his jaw ached with every breath he took.The crash had thrown him like a ragdoll, flinging his body into a ditch after his vehicle, tires blown out from a desperate chase, had careened off the hillside road.He’d blacked out for a moment. Maybe more.But when he came to, it wasn’t mercy that greeted him.It was Darius.He’d heard the boots crunching over leaves and dirt long before the shadows finally stretched toward him.Then came the firm grip of gloved hands dragging his broken form to a clearing, rifles trained on him, and a half circle of men in black combat gear standing like a wall of death.And at the center of it all, Darius.Pristine as ever, yet colder than a winter grave.Darius stood tall, hands behind his back, his expression unreadable as he stared down at the bloodied man in front of him.G

    Sarah turned slowly to Alexander, her hand still pressed to her mouth. “We’re… we’re going to have a baby.”His eyes glistened with fresh tears, shock, joy, fear, all colliding in one single breath.He reached out to cradle her face with both hands, his broken leg momentarily forgotten.A baby.A child made from chaos and pain, love and survival.“I don’t deserve this,” he whispered hoarsely. “Not after everything I’ve done. Not after I almost lost you.”“You didn’t lose me,” she whispered back. “And you won’t. Not now. Not ever.”He kissed her forehead, resting there for a long moment, his tears soaking into her hair. “I swear I’ll protect both of you. Even if I can’t walk. Even if I have to crawl to the ends of the earth, Sarah.”She laughed through her tears, arms wrapping around him tighter than ever. “Then we’ll crawl together. And when we’re ready… we’ll run.”They held each other in the stillness of that room, at the beginning of something even greater.A heartbeat they hadn’t

    Sarah stayed curled in Alexander’s arms for a long moment, breathing him in like he was the only tether keeping her from floating away.His hand cradled the back of her head, his chest rising and falling in unsteady waves as if he still couldn’t believe she was real, that she was here.But then her eyes drifted down.Her gaze locked on the white sheets, crumpled and slightly lifted around his lower half.Something tugged at her memory, the shot.The sharp crack of a bullet.The sight of him falling behind her as she ran, screaming his name. Her stomach twisted.She leaned back slightly, her hand moving instinctively to the edge of the blanket, brushing against the thick padding of a cast beneath.Her voice was soft. “You were shot… I remember… I...”Alexander caught her hand gently, pressing it to his lips. “It’s okay. I’m here.”But Sarah’s heart had already begun to race again. “You were limping… and I saw… but I didn’t know it was this bad.” Her eyes darted toward the crutches now

    The first thing Sarah registered was the scent of antiseptic, clean, sharp, and nauseating.Then came the ache. Deep in her bones. In her chest. In the marrow of her soul.She stirred, her fingers twitching over crisp hospital sheets as her body shifted ever so slightly, and her mind scrambled to catch up.She wasn’t tied down. She wasn’t cold anymore. She wasn’t in that dark room. That house. That… nightmare.She was safe.Or… something like it.Her eyes fluttered open slowly, lashes damp from tears she hadn’t even known she’d been crying.The ceiling was a sterile white blur. The walls hummed faintly with distant activity, soft footfalls, medical monitors, the low murmur of conversation somewhere outside the door.But none of it mattered.Because he wasn’t there.And without him, none of this felt real.Her lips parted, cracked and dry, and she tried to speak. Tried to push out the name that had lived on the edge of every prayer she'd whispered during captivity.It came out broken a

    Alexander turned his head, his eyes bloodshot and glistening. “I’ll be a burden now. She’ll never say it, but I’ll see it in her eyes. Pity. Guilt. I’d rather she hate me than pity me.”“She’s not that kind of woman,” Darius said firmly.A pause. Then Alexander swallowed hard and asked the question that had been clawing at him since the moment the doctor said the word paralysis.“What if she stays… just because she thinks she owes me?”Darius’s brow furrowed. “Then you remind her what you both have been through. Remind her who the hell you are. And what you mean to each other.”Silence again.Then Alexander leaned back against the pillows and stared up at the ceiling. “Gerald got away.”Darius’s expression hardened. “Barely. One of my men put a tracker on his vehicle before he escaped. Victoria got caught in the crossfire. Gerald used her,” Darius replied coldly. “He doesn’t care who dies as long as he gets what he wants.”Alexander’s jaw clenched. “Then we’ll burn every last shadow h

    The sterile beep of Alexander’s heart monitor filled the hospital room like a metronome, steady and soft. The worst had passed, so the doctors said. He had survived the bullets, the blood loss, the surgery. He had defied death.But outside the room, just as Darius turned to check on Sarah again, something in her expression shifted.Relief.That was the first thing he saw.A full bodied, all consuming relief that weakened her spine, dulled her eyes, and uncoiled every taut muscle that had kept her upright through pain, fear, and heartbreak.Then she crumpled.“Sarah...!” Darius lunged forward and caught her just before her knees slammed into the polished floor.Her body was limp in his arms, barely conscious, her breathing shallow and unsteady. Her bloodied hands slipped against his shirt as he pulled her close, his voice sharp and commanding as he yelled over his shoulder, “Get a doctor! Now!”Within seconds, nurses flooded the corridor. A gurney was wheeled over, and Darius laid her d

    The woman he’d secretly crushed on since the first night he saved her bleeding and defiant.“Holy shit,” he muttered.But she was already in the driver’s seat.The moment her fingers wrapped around the wheel, she changed. Her spine straightened. Her breath slowed. The fear didn’t vanish, but it sharpened, fused into her bones like steel.And when her foot hit the gas, the tires screamed their fury into the night.The SUV became a blur under her hands.Trees melted past them. Headlights glared like ghosts. The world narrowed to instinct and motion.Sarah didn’t flinch when they nearly sideswiped a truck. She didn’t panic when the back tires fishtailed across loose gravel. She was in it.. back.Back to the part of herself she’d buried when she married into the Blake family.Back to Sparrow.“Hang on,” she said under her breath, glancing at Alexander in the mirror, his head resting in Darius’s lap as the man tried to stop the bleeding.“He’s fading,” Darius warned. “We’ve got fifteen min

    The air turned electric as Darius’s boots pounded the forest floor, his rifle cradled tight against his shoulder. His men moved ahead of him like shadows, silent, fast, lethal.Their coordinated breaths were drowned out by the distant echoes of gunfire erupting from the estate.Alexander was still fighting.He was alive.But for how long?“Alpha to all units,” Darius growled into his earpiece, “entry on my mark. Hostile count is high. Primary objective, get Alexander out alive. Secondary level anyone who tries to stop us.”“Copy that,” came a chorus of calm, battle hardened voices.Behind him, the night swallowed his words.But not all of it.He turned briefly, his sharp gaze locking onto Sarah, who stood beside the black SUV Darius had arrived in. Her body trembled, her eyes red from tears, but she had not collapsed.She hadn’t fallen apart.And that, Darius admired deeply.“Can you drive?” he asked, voice hard but not unkind.Sarah blinked, startled. “What?”“If this goes south, we’

    SarahShe sat on the floor, trembling hands curled around a piece of porcelain, a broken teacup she’d stashed away after a “servant” delivered tea hours ago.The sharp edge glittered in her shaking grip.She was pale.Her lips cracked from dehydration. Her dress hung off her like it didn’t belong to her anymore. Her eyes were void. Empty.As if she was no longer here.“Just one cut,” she whispered to herself. “Just one cut and I’ll see him again.”She looked up, eyes glassy, smile fragile, as if she could see someone standing in front of her already.“Alexander,” she breathed to the ghost in her mind. “I’m sorry I didn’t wait. I couldn’t. I’m just... so tired…”She raised the shard to her wrist.And a hand caught her.Real. Warm. Strong.Her eyes widened in horror and disbelief. “No…”She turned, and for a heartbeat, she didn’t believe it.But he was there.Kneeling before her.Alexander.His chest heaving from the run. Dirt on his clothes. Gun holstered at his side. Eyes red, wild, b
