Sarah returned to the study with a tray in her hands, balancing a steaming cup of coffee and a small plate of biscuits.She set it down on the edge of Alexander’s desk with exaggerated care, shooting him a smirk as she straightened.“Your coffee, sir,” she said, adopting a mockingly formal tone. “Three teaspoons of sugar, just as you requested. Though I think your dentist would have something to say about it.”Alexander grinned, taking the cup. “My dentist doesn’t know what he’s missing.” He took a sip, his eyes closing briefly as if savoring the taste. Then he opened one eye and looked at her. “You might survive this assistant thing after all.”Sarah leaned against the edge of the desk, her arms crossed. “Glad to hear it. So, boss, what’s next? More coffee? Should I shine your wheelchair? Maybe dust off your ego?”Alexander chuckled, setting the cup down. “Very funny. Actually, I thought it was time you learned about your new real job.”“Oh?” Sarah arched an eyebrow. “And what might

The atmosphere in the boardroom was electric with tension.The heavy oak doors creaked open, and Alexander entered, Sarah following close behind.She immediately felt the weight of the room’s scrutiny, powerful gazes appraising, dismissing, and judging her presence.At the head of the long table sat Lawrence Blake, Alexander’s father, his face a storm of barely contained fury. Beside him, a man who bore a striking resemblance to him, his younger brother, Gerald Blake, leaned back in his chair, exuding smug satisfaction.“Ah, Alexander,” Gerald drawled, his smile as sharp as a knife. “So good of you to join us.”Alexander’s jaw tightened. “I wasn’t aware I had a choice,” he said coolly, wheeling himself toward the table.Sarah kept her head down, trying to remain inconspicuous as she took a seat at the edge of the room.But her eyes never left Alexander, who radiated restrained anger as he parked his wheelchair at the table’s head, directly opposite his uncle.“I’m sure you’ve been inf

Alexander wheeled himself into the expansive CEO’s office, the room that had been his sanctuary, his command center.Sarah followed silently, her steps soft against the plush carpet.She could feel the weight of his frustration, the air thick with unspoken words.The office was as opulent as one might expect from a corporate giant like the Blake Group.Floor to ceiling windows offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline, and the furniture was sleek and modern, exuding an air of power. Yet, for all its grandeur, it now felt stifling to Alexander.He sighed heavily, rolling his chair to the large mahogany desk that dominated the room.Resting his elbows on the polished surface, he buried his face in his hands for a moment before straightening.“This place used to mean something to me,” he muttered. “Now it feels like a cage.”Sarah wanted to say something comforting, but before she could, the door opened. Alexander’s assistant, William, entered briskly, clutching a slim leather fold

The drive home was quieter than usual, the hum of the car a soothing backdrop to their conversation.Alexander gazed out of the window for a moment before speaking. “When I was sixteen, my grandfather passed away. He was the original founder of the Blake Group. His death hit my father hard, but it also left a gaping hole in the company’s leadership. My dad, Lawrence, stepped up, but he was more of an enforcer than a visionary. The board respected him, but they didn’t fear him.”Sarah listened intently, her usual playful demeanor replaced with genuine interest.“I was always close to my grandfather,” Alexander continued. “He taught me the ropes early on, how to negotiate, how to recognize talent, how to think ten steps ahead. When he died, I think a part of me felt responsible to carry on his legacy. So, I started working part time at the company during school breaks, absorbing everything I could.”“Were you the prodigy everyone claims you are?” Sarah teased gently.“Maybe,” he admitte

Alexander leaned back in his chair, the tension in his shoulders visibly easing as Sarah sat beside him.His piercing gaze settled on the mound of files stacked on the desk.“Sarah,” he said, his voice steady but laced with fatigue, “I need your help.”Her eyebrows lifted in surprise. “With what? Sorting papers? Organizing chaos?”He smirked at her attempt at humor. “Rummaging through chaos, actually. I need to figure out what’s salvageable in the jewelry department.”Her expression grew serious. “You trust me with that?”He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. “You’ve got an eye for design, Sarah. I’ve seen the way you analyze things, meticulous, thoughtful. Besides, you’re my personal assistant now, aren’t you?”She rolled her eyes playfully but nodded. “All right, where do I start?”He gestured toward a smaller stack of files on the left. “Start there. Look for anything that mentions past collaborations or high value clients. I need to know who we can still rely on.”Sar

The muffled sound of Alexander’s deep voice echoed from the study down the hall.Though his words were indistinct, the tone was sharp, commanding, a man locked in battle with forces trying to strip him of his legacy.Sarah could picture him there, seated at the massive oak desk, surrounded by the trappings of power and wealth, fighting to reclaim the position that was rightfully his.The thought tightened her chest with guilt.How could she keep this secret when he was confiding in her, asking for her partnership, trusting her to stand by his side?She shook her head, pushing the guilt aside.This isn’t betrayal. It’s... self preservation.The room felt colder as Sarah closed her laptop, her hands trembling slightly as she tucked it away.She stood and moved to the window, pulling back the heavy drapes.The garden outside was a silvered patchwork under the moonlight, its elegance marred by a faint chill that matched her mood.Her reflection in the glass caught her attention.She looke

The estate was silent, save for the faint hum of the night wind brushing against the windows.Alexander made his way through the hall, his movements slower than usual.As he approached the master bedroom, he hesitated, his hand resting on the doorknob.Am I doing this for her... or for me?The thought froze him for a moment, but then he pushed the door open quietly.The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room in a warm, golden light.Sarah was sprawled across the bed, her hair a dark halo against the white pillows.One hand clutched the edge of the blanket, and her face was turned slightly toward his side of the bed, as if she’d unconsciously sought his presence.Alexander wheeled closer, his movements careful to avoid waking her.She looked peaceful in sleep, the faintest curve of a smile on her lips.For a moment, he just watched her, his heart tightening in a way that was both foreign and achingly familiar.What is it about her?He had met countless women in his life, mo

At breakfast, the dining room was unusually quiet.The morning light streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the elaborate spread prepared by the staff.Sarah sat across from Alexander, nervously fidgeting with her fork as the tension in the room became palpable.Alexander’s mother, Beatrice Blake, was seated at the head of the table, her sharp gaze flitting between her son and Sarah like a hawk circling its prey.She sipped her tea delicately, her composure as impeccable as ever, but the disdain in her posture was unmistakable.“Sarah,” Beatrice finally spoke, her tone clipped. “I trust you’ve had sufficient time to learn the responsibilities that come with being Alexander’s wife.”Sarah’s hand froze mid motion.She looked up, meeting Beatrice’s cool, assessing stare. “I’m doing my best,” she replied evenly, though her voice betrayed a hint of nervousness.Evelyn’s lips thinned. “Doing one’s best is admirable, of course. But this family requires excellence, not effo

Private line. Emergency signal.His body froze. For a split second, the hallway fell silent.He answered. “Carter?”But it wasn’t Carter.It was one of the men posted near the estate gates.“Sir… we have a situation. Carter’s dead. The car was attacked again just before reaching the estate. They took Mrs. Blake.”The world seemed to tilt beneath him.“What?”“They took her, sir. Masked men. Black SUV. By the time we got there, they were already gone. It happened within minutes.”Alexander’s fist clenched so tightly the phone cracked beneath his grip.The lights above seemed to buzz louder. The hallway blurred. And then everything snapped back into razor sharp focus.“She was almost home,” he whispered, his voice dangerously calm. “She was almost f*cking home.”Without another word, he stormed out of the hospital, barking commands into his comms, rage and fear coiling inside him like a tidal wave about to break.This time, they had crossed the line.And Alexander Blake was going to raz

The medic tried to speak, tried to tell him to move, but Alexander refused to budge. “Do what you need to. I’m not leaving her.”He stayed there as they worked, his hands never letting go.He pressed gauze, injected stabilizers, whispered her name like a prayer.For every second Raven kept breathing, Alexander fought harder, because if she died, it would break more than just Sarah.He couldn’t let that happen.Not now.Not ever.The medic looked up. “She’s going into shock. We need to move her now.”Alexander stood immediately, scooping Raven into his arms, ignoring the blood, the weight, the tremors in his limbs. “The chopper,” he said hoarsely. “Get it ready. Clear the airspace. Tell the hospital I’m bringing in someone I refuse to lose.”And with that, he carried her like a brother would a fallen sister.He walked through the smoke and wreckage, past the bodies she dropped to keep Sarah safe, past the guards saluting him as they cleared a path.And the only thing he whispered again

Alexander turned on his heel, already pulling out his earpiece and barking sharp orders into it.Within seconds, two men fell into step beside him, weapons drawn, the weight of his rage radiating through the night like heat off asphalt.Inside the SUV, Sarah leaned her forehead against the cold window, watching as Alexander disappeared into the shadows once again, her protector, her warrior, her husband.The car sped off, headlights cutting through the city. And all Sarah could do was pray.Come back, both of you. Please.The cold was setting in.Raven’s breath came in ragged bursts, harsh and wet in her throat.The metallic scent of blood, her blood, overwhelmed everything else now, coating her tongue, staining her vision, clinging to her skin.She had lost count of how many bullets had pierced her body.Her left shoulder was blown open, her leg, fractured and useless, trembled under her weight. Every heartbeat was a thunderclap in her ears, every breath a war.But still, she stood.

Sarah’s boots pounded against the cement stairs, the cold tunnel air slicing across her face as she bolted down the narrow exit.Her heart roared in her ears, matching the beat of her footsteps.Gunfire cracked behind her like thunder, each echo reminding her that Raven was still up there, fighting alone. For her.Her breath caught painfully in her chest.I shouldn't have left her...She shook the thought from her head, gripping the pistol tighter in her palm, the cold metal biting into her skin.Raven’s voice echoed in her head like a lifeline: Run, Sarah. Don’t stop. No matter what.Her fingers fumbled over the bracelet on her wrist. She hadn’t even known about the hidden button, hadn’t known that Alexander had embedded a micro GPS tracker in the sapphire clasp, one press away from summoning him no matter where she was.He’d done it in secret. Quietly. Like he always did when it came to her safety.Tears stung the corners of her eyes.She pressed it.Once.Twice.A small vibration c

Sarah grunted as she braced Raven’s weight over her shoulder, her own limbs trembling from the aftershock of the crash.The tunnel echoed with their hurried breaths, the muffled drag of Raven’s boot across the concrete, and the slow, methodical approach of their attackers.Every step felt borrowed.Raven’s arm was slung around her neck, blood soaking through the sleeve of her black jacket. Her leg was badly hurt, possibly fractured. She winced with every movement, but she didn’t make a sound.Her eyes remained sharp, locked on the vehicle even as her lips tightened in pain.They made it to the wrecked SUV, the air still hot and thick with smoke.Sarah helped Raven lean against the hood just as the older woman reached in through the twisted passenger window and pulled something from the glove compartment.Two black pistols.Lightweight. Sleek. Dangerous.Raven turned and pushed one into Sarah’s trembling hand.“Take it,” she said, urgency sharpening her voice. “And listen to me, Sarah.

Just as Sarah predicted, it narrowed quickly, concrete barriers lining both sides, with only enough room for one vehicle to pass.But the SUV was built for this.They cleared the entry.Behind them, the second black SUV crashed into the barrier, unable to squeeze in time. It scraped violently along the concrete wall, slowing its pursuit.The first motorcycle attempted to follow too closely, but a sudden swerve from Raven sent him toppling over the bridge’s edge, disappearing from view.Only one SUV remained now, still close, too close.“We get off this bridge,” Raven said. “I’ll lose them in the tunnels.”But just then, the SUV behind them accelerated. Fast. Too fast.Sarah could see it in the side mirror.“They’re trying to ram us!” she shouted.Raven swore and floored the gas.The SUV bucked forward again, the engine roaring like a beast unleashed.The bulletproof plating rattled as the trailing car clipped their bumper, once, then twice.“Come on, baby,” Raven growled at the wheel.
The Disabled CEO's Swapped Bride Chapter 235
The moment stretched long and quiet.The SUV continued down the lane, tires humming softly against the smooth road, blending into the rhythm of the quiet afternoon traffic.The city skyline rose faintly in the distance, a glass and steel mirage beneath the pale blue sky. Everything looked normal now.Too normal.Sarah looked at Raven. “Should we call Alexander?”Raven shook her head just slightly. “Not yet. Not until I’m sure.”And yet, just as their guards were beginning to lower, just as the tension started to slip into the comfort of normalcy, they missed the pair of black motorcycles that had silently pulled out from a side alley, far behind them… keeping just enough distance to not be noticed yet.Because the real ambush hadn’t passed them by.It was only just getting started.The road stretched ahead like any other Sunday drive, quiet, calm, deceptively peaceful.Sarah leaned back into the leather seat, one hand playing with the bracelet Alexander had clasped around her wrist ju

Victoria stormed out of the boutique, her heels clacking violently against the marble as her face contorted with fury.Her palm still tingled from the slap she had delivered, but it was the sting on her own humiliation that seared deepest.She had expected Sarah to shrink away, to crumble beneath the weight of public disgrace.But instead... she had stood tall. Calm. Almost unbothered.That was what enraged Victoria the most.The air outside was cool against her flushed skin, but her anger blazed hotter with every step she took.Her pride had taken a hit she couldn't hide from, and with every replay of the scene in her mind, the slap, Sarah's poised indifference, her hands trembled.She fished out her phone with a swipe of her manicured nails and dialed the only number that made sense right now.It rang twice.“Victoria,” came Gerald’s voice, smooth and low, like smoke curling in the dark. “I assume this isn’t a social call.”“She's seems so powerful,” Victoria snapped. “In front of e

Sarah had grown up with nothing. Raised in a modest town by James and Mary Miller, who had taught her values that weren’t measured by wealth or bloodlines. Then thrust into high society, into marriage with a man she’d barely known, only for him to become her fiercest protector and, over time, her partner in every sense.And now, the company her birth parents had once deemed too powerful to risk for her sake, was under her control.“Why didn’t you say anything sooner?” she asked softly.Alexander smiled, then leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Because I didn’t do it for show, Sarah. I did it because no one gets to look down on you anymore. Not them. Not the board. Not anyone.”There was no pride in his tone, just simple, unwavering loyalty. The kind that made her chest feel tight with a quiet sort of awe.Sarah shook her head, a breathy laugh escaping her. “Sometimes I wonder who really won between the two of us in this marriage.”“You did,” he said without missing a bea
