The Disabled CEO's Swapped Bride Chapter 8
Within moments, the silver haired woman was seated at the kitchen table, a porcelain teacup steaming in her hand.James crouched outside, already working on the Bentley’s engine, while Mary laid out a plate of lemon cake and offered Margaret a warm smile.As they sipped tea, Margaret listened attentively, asking Sarah questions about her life, her interests, and the mountain that seemed to shape her very soul.It wasn’t long before Sarah was showing her a sketchbook she kept hidden in her room, each page filled with designs and delicate patterns she dreamed up in the quiet hours.They were tiny works of art, details of wings and leaves, petals unfurling like secrets she was only just beginning to understand.Margaret flipped through the pages with the same careful attention she’d shown the wire sculptures, nodding thoughtfully.“Sarah,” she said finally, her voice soft but serious, “I believe there is something extraordinary within you. Have you ever heard of jewelry design?”Sarah sh

The crisp morning air was strangely still, as if the whole world was holding its breath.At the Caldwell mansion, sunlight spilled through floor to ceiling windows, casting a cool glow over the marble floors.Eleanor Caldwell sat poised on the edge of an ornate armchair, her knuckles white as she held the envelope in her hands.Across the room, her husband Richard paced in front of the towering stone fireplace, his brow furrowed, his eyes locked on the same envelope he held.Meanwhile, miles away in a quiet farmhouse nestled between rolling hills, Mary Miller stood by the kitchen table, her fingers trembling as she stared at the letter in her hands.James sat beside her, his hand resting atop hers.His face was lined with worry and the strain of sleepless nights, yet his gaze was steady, holding onto the hope that the results in Mary’s hands would only confirm what they had always believed.That Sarah was theirs.But neither household was prepared for the truth written in sterile, unf

Eleanor stiffened, but Richard took over, stepping forward and handing a sheaf of documents to James. “These are notarized documents. We’re prepared to offer full financial compensation for Sarah’s education, her living expenses, and more if she comes with us. We intend to give her the life she deserves, and we expect your cooperation.”James looked down at the documents, his face hardening.He could see the unspoken truth in Richard’s words, the desperation lurking beneath their polished veneer.The Caldwells weren’t here because they wanted to right a wrong or embrace the daughter they’d never known, they were here because Victoria, their real daughter, had been a burden too heavy to bear.Whispers of scandal had reached even their quiet village.Victoria’s name had become synonymous with excess, with careless rebellion. It wasn’t Sarah they wanted, it was a replacement.James held the papers at arm’s length, his face tight with anger. “You think you can just walk in here with your

Upstairs, Sarah’s room looked so much smaller than she remembered, her belongings so few and plain against the faded walls.The sight of her life, stripped to its barest essentials, made her chest ache.A stack of old books on her nightstand, filled with scribbled notes and worn pages, the tiny wooden carving her father had given her when she’d learned to read, a small bundle of dried flowers her mother had tied with ribbon and kept in a mason jar on her dresser.She picked each one up slowly, trying to etch the memory of them into her mind.She carefully packed her clothes into a simple duffel bag, the material rough under her fingers as she folded each shirt and dress.She slipped in her sketchpad, its cover worn from years of use, the pages inside filled with designs and notes, sketches she’d drawn while lying on the grassy hill behind the farmhouse.It felt like she was leaving behind more than just her possessions.With every item she packed, she was leaving behind pieces of her

Social Media Frenzy: Public Divides Over #SwitchScandalAcross social media platforms, opinions clashed, ranging from sympathy for the quiet girl thrust into high society, to accusations that Sarah was only in it for the Caldwell fortune.The hashtag #SwitchScandal trended overnight, as strangers dissected every detail of her life, her family’s life, and what the news meant for them all.As debates raged online, other headlines emerged, tugging the story in different directions.“Eighteen Years of Lies: Who Really Deserves the Caldwell Name?”“Sarah’s Simple Life: How a Country Girl Became an Heiress”“Victoria Reed’s Society Status Under Threat Amid Heiress Drama”People speculated endlessly on the implications for both young women, the lives they would be forced to navigate, and the challenges that lay ahead.Talk shows filled their airtime with commentary, journalists debated which family deserved Sarah, and tabloids printed half truths, attempting to fuel public curiosity even mor

Sarah’s mind raced as she tried to find the words that might satisfy him. “I, uh, went to the local school,” she said quietly. “I did well, but it was a small place… not like the schools here, I’m sure.”“Local schools,” Richard echoed, his gaze steady but with an edge of skepticism. “So, no formal training in any… refined skills?”Sarah’s jaw tensed, but she forced herself to keep her voice steady. “No formal training,” she replied, keeping her gaze on her plate. “But I did learn some skills from a neighbor.”“Such as?” Eleanor inquired, her voice light but curious.Sarah took a breath, realizing she’d stepped into a story she couldn’t retract now. “Jewelry design. I met someone in our village when I was younger, and she taught me a bit. I’d make little pieces sometimes.”Eleanor’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “Jewelry? That’s rather… unique.”“It was more of a hobby,” Sarah added quickly, feeling Richard’s eyes still on her, weighing her every word.Her mind flashed to Margaret Windsor

The change was subtle at first, averted gazes, half hearted smiles, and murmurs that stopped abruptly when Sarah entered the room.She felt it in the lingering glances of the maids, the wary looks from the staff as they passed her in the halls.The Caldwell mansion, vast and daunting, had begun to feel even colder than the marble floors she walked upon.It didn’t take long for the whispers to drift into the open air.One afternoon, Sarah was browsing a small book collection in the study when Eleanor’s friends, Mrs. Donovan and Lady Ashford, came for tea.They hadn’t expected her to be in the room, and when they noticed her, their conversation faltered. But not for long.“So, she’s the… other one,” Lady Ashford murmured, voice just low enough to seem polite.Mrs. Donovan’s lips curled into a forced smile. “Yes, it must be quite the adjustment for her, I imagine. From barns to ballrooms, one might say.”Lady Ashford chuckled, not even attempting to mask the derision in her tone. “Poor t

Another ball...The ballroom glittered beneath crystal chandeliers, a sea of shimmering gowns and tailored suits as the Caldwell Foundation’s annual charity gala unfolded in full glamour.Sarah felt a wave of nerves as she entered, her long gown, a deep sapphire blue Eleanor had picked for her, sweeping elegantly behind her.She was under strict instructions to look, act, and behave like a Caldwell tonight.Eleanor had even insisted she wear a pair of delicate diamond earrings, as if adorning her would make her more worthy in the eyes of the crowd.From across the room, Sarah spotted Victoria mingling effortlessly, moving from one group to another, a glass of champagne poised in her slender hand.She laughed with ease, leaning in close as she whispered something to a man in a designer tux, casting a quick, deliberate glance at Sarah.Just as she’d done since Sarah arrived, Victoria was making sure everyone knew exactly who was in charge.Sarah took a deep breath, determined to remain

A famous editor from Lune Mode stepped into her path, clutching her designer clutch like it might fly away if she didn’t grip it hard enough. “Darling, that was revolutionary. I haven’t seen a collection that bold and sensual since Windsor’s early years. I must get the exclusive on your next line.”“I’m honored,” Sarah said, already sidestepping. “But for now, we’re committed to in house content through Blake Media Holdings.”Each answer was the same.Each decline delivered with grace.Each proposal deflected without arrogance, but with a poise that asserted her position clearly: She wasn’t desperate for the industry. The industry was desperate for her.And all the while, Alexander walked silently beside her.A quiet shadow to her shining light.He didn’t mind.In fact, he seemed... content. Every glance from the crowd, every stare of awe, every whisper that mentioned “Sarah” and “genius” and “how did we not see it before”, he took it in stride. His pride was personal. Private.And un

Sarah had built an empire in secret.Sarah had mastered the world they had assumed she was too weak to handle.Eleanor placed a trembling hand over her mouth, mourning the loss of the future they could have had.“If we had known,” she whispered, blinking back tears. “If we had known she had this potential…”If we had treated her differently.If we had fought for her.If we hadn’t cast her aside.The showroom had been electric, but now, as the event neared its conclusion, the air hummed with anticipation. Every guest, socialites, industry moguls, designers, and critics, sat at the edge of their seats, hanging onto the night’s final moments.The grand reveal had sent shockwaves through the fashion world. Sarah was Mountain Rose.And now, all eyes were on her.The MC, a well known fashion journalist, stepped forward, adjusting her mic with a knowing smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, before we close this unforgettable night, we believe it’s only right to hear from the woman who has shaken the

Cecilia let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh.It was short, almost bitter, before she clapped a hand over her mouth, as if she couldn’t believe the sound had come from her.Sarah? Sarah was behind Mountain Rose?The woman she had looked down on? The woman she had once mocked, dismissed as nothing more than an inconvenience in her pursuit of Alexander?Cecilia let the truth settle in her chest, and for the first time, she felt something other than resentment.She felt... understanding.This was why.This was why Alexander had never looked at her the same way again.Why he had stopped seeing her, stopped caring for her the way he once had.It wasn’t just because she had betrayed him.It wasn’t just because she had once been the woman meant to be by his side but had chosen herself over their engagement.It was because he had Sarah.And Sarah was everything.Cecilia’s fingers curled into the fabric of her dress as she exhaled slowly.The realization was almost... freeing.For so long, she

There was an unmistakable challenge in his tone, daring anyone to dispute it.Liam, who had been watching the exchange with quiet intensity, clenched his jaw. His fingers curled around the rim of his glass as he observed the way Alexander looked at Sarah, the quiet devotion in his eyes, the absolute certainty in his words.There was no denying it.Alexander Blake was in love with his wife.Liam exhaled slowly, schooling his features into a mask of indifference, but a flicker of something unreadable lingered in his gaze.Seb, standing further back, simply smiled, a rare, genuine one.Unlike Liam, he had long accepted that Sarah would never be his. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t be happy for her.He had always known she was extraordinary. Now, the rest of the world finally saw it too.As the applause resumed, this time stronger, unanimous, Sarah let out a slow breath.She had won.She had truly won.And as she met Beatrice’s furious, defeated glare, Sarah smiled, a slow, knowing curve

The entire room followed her gaze.The tension was a living thing, thick and suffocating, as realization began to dawn on the guests.“You see,” Beatrice continued, her lips curling into something resembling amusement, “this entire spectacle, this supposed ‘legacy of brilliance’, it’s the work of none other than Sarah.”The name hit the crowd like a dropped glass, shattering the carefully crafted atmosphere of admiration and intrigue.Sarah, standing frozen in place, met Beatrice’s gaze head on. She had expected sabotage. She had even anticipated drama. But she had not expected this level of public exposure, this deliberate act of humiliation staged before the most powerful individuals in the fashion world.“This woman,” Beatrice went on, her voice sharp, “who was fortunate enough to marry into the Blake family, has been deceiving us all. Parading in our world as if she belongs, as if she has earned this level of prestige. Tell me, Sarah...” she tilted her head with faux curiosity, “.

The energy in the room remained electric as guests continued to mingle, sip on champagne, and trade speculation about the mysterious force behind Mountain Rose.Sarah, however, was far too preoccupied to let the gossip faze her. Seated in the VVIP section beside her mentor, Margaret Windsor, and Liam Carrington, she allowed herself a moment of quiet satisfaction."I must say," Margaret began, her sharp eyes scanning the room with admiration, "you have played this game masterfully, Sarah. Even now, they’re all in a frenzy trying to figure out who’s behind this grand spectacle. Not one of them has guessed correctly."Sarah smiled, taking a slow sip of her champagne. "It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Too many people wanted to see me fail. I couldn’t afford to let my identity be known too soon."Liam chuckled, leaning back in his seat. "And yet, look at them now. Scrambling for answers, when the woman they’re all dying to uncover is sitting right under their noses."Margaret nodded a

Mrs. Beatrice Blake wasted no time. The moment Alexander stepped off the runway and into the luxurious VVIP lounge, she was already there, standing with a wine glass in hand, her expression composed yet sharp."Alexander," she called, her tone holding the perfect balance between curiosity and demand.He turned leisurely, as if he hadn’t just caused an uproar in one of the most prestigious fashion events of the year. He took his time, undoing the top button of his tailored suit, adjusting the exquisite brooch still pinned to his lapel.His mother didn’t even glance at the jewelry. Her focus was entirely on him."Why did you do it?" she asked smoothly, her voice low enough for only him to hear.Alexander smirked. "Do what, Mother?""You know what I mean," she snapped, keeping her tone controlled despite her growing frustration. "Why, in the name of everything logical, would you, Alexander Blake, walk on that runway? For Mountain Rose?”She took a deliberate sip of her wine before contin

Among them, Elise sat frozen, her carefully constructed confidence cracking.This wasn’t what she had expected.She had been so sure her designs would turn heads tonight, that she would steal the spotlight and bask in the admiration.But now?She wasn’t even an afterthought.Everything, the attention, the speculation, the whispers, was all about Mountain Rose.And worse?No one even knew who was behind it.Elise’s jaw clenched, her nails digging into her palm as she shot a sharp glance at Victoria and Cecilia, who looked just as shaken."We need to find out who the hell is running this brand," Victoria muttered under her breath, barely able to keep the venom out of her tone.Cecilia wasn’t listening.Her mind was spinning in another direction entirely.Because there was only one person she suspected.And if she was right, if Sarah was behind all of this, then this wasn’t just a victory.It was a message.A warning that she wasn’t done yet.That she was coming for them.And Cecilia was

Seb, aware of the chaos, allowed himself a leisurely glance at the audience, his eyes deliberately locking onto the ones who stared a little too hard, a little too long.Then, in the most sinfully taunting way possible, he let his smirk widen, dragging his tongue over his lower lip for just a second...A calculated, devastating move.The reaction was instant.Several gasps.Some audible giddy shrieks.A few not so discreet lip bites.One particularly bold woman in a crimson gown reached for her champagne glass, fingers trembling slightly as she whispered to her friend, "I need to have him."The raw, undeniable tension in the room was tangible.Seb knew it.He reveled in it.Because this?This was the effect he had.The moment he reached the end of the runway, he paused, not because he needed to, but because he wanted to let them ache for more.He stood there, under the bright spotlight, exuding dominance in a way that was effortless, natural.Then, with the same lazy arrogance, he lif
