The Disabled CEO's Swapped Bride Chapter 91
The drive away from Darius's compound was steeped in a heavy silence, the hum of the car engine the only sound as Carter navigated the winding roads.Sarah sat beside Alexander, her hands gripping her knees as she tried to calm her racing heart.The events of the night replayed in her mind, Gerald’s betrayal, her desperate escape, and the unsettling presence of Darius.Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, she turned to Alexander. “Who is he?” she asked quietly.Alexander, seated in his wheelchair with a blanket draped over his legs, glanced at her.He knew the question would come, and he seemed to take a moment to gather his thoughts before answering.“Darius is… complicated,” Alexander began, his voice low. “His full name is Darius Blackwell. He’s the kind of man who can command a room with a single glance. People fear him for good reason. He’s ruthless, calculated, and incredibly powerful.”Sarah frowned, her brow furrowing. “But you said you’re friends?”Alexander nodded, a fa

The study in Gerald estate was a scene of chaos. Papers were scattered across the desk and floor, a glass of whiskey had shattered against the wall, and Gerald himself stood in the middle of the room, breathing heavily.His face was flushed with rage, his hands clenched into fists so tight his knuckles were white.“Darius Blackwell,” he spat the name like venom. “That damn bastard.”The message Darius had sent earlier, complete with the tongueless man and a chilling note, still lingered on his desk. Now, Gerald had received fresh news, not only had Alexander Blake managed to get Sarah, but he had done so with Darius’s blessing.Gerald slammed his fist onto the desk, the sound echoing through the room. “How?” he hissed, his voice trembling with anger. “How is Alexander still alive? How is he always one step ahead?”Gerald paced the room, his thoughts spiraling. The fact that Darius and Alexander were still on good terms grated on him like a jagged blade.He had banked on Darius remaini

The warehouse buzzed with cold efficiency as Gerald’s top enforcers prepared for the mission.The air was heavy with the scent of gasoline and gun oil. Three black SUVs stood ready, their engines idling ominously.Inside, men dressed in tactical gear double checked their weapons, their faces set in grim focus.“Target’s convoy is heading west on Route 17,” the team leader barked, his voice clipped and authoritative.He pressed a finger to his earpiece. “We intercept at marker 52. Make sure there’s no escape.”“Understood,” another enforcer replied, snapping the magazine into his rifle. “What’s the kill order?”“Loud and clear,” the leader responded, his lips curling into a ruthless grin. “This isn’t just a hit. It’s a message. Make them bleed.The tension inside Alexander’s armored car was palpable.Sarah sat stiffly beside him, her hands fidgeting in her lap as the dense forest outside blurred past the windows.The events of the past few hours had left her on edge, and the eerie stil

The convoy rolled through the wrought iron gates of Alexander’s sprawling estate, the security detail at full alert.Guards lined the driveway, their weapons slung across their chests as they saluted the vehicles.The mansion loomed ahead, its stone façade illuminated by floodlights, an imposing fortress against the night.Inside the lead car, Sarah leaned her head against the window, her exhaustion evident.The adrenaline that had fueled her during the ambush had long since faded, leaving her drained and emotionally raw.“We’re home,” Alexander said softly, his hand reaching over to rest on hers.She turned to him, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. “Home,” she echoed, the word feeling foreign after the chaos of the past hours.The car came to a stop, and Alexander’s guards moved swiftly to open the door for them.One guard wheeled Alexander out of the vehicle, while another helped Sarah, who swayed slightly as her feet hit the ground.“Ma’am, are you alright?” one of the guards aske

Sarah’s body trembled as she sat on the floor, her back resting against the side of the bed.The sobs that had started as a flood of raw emotion began to taper off into quiet, shuddering breaths.Her tears left streaks on her flushed cheeks, and her fingers clung tightly to Alexander’s hands, as if letting go of him would send her spiraling back into the depths of despair.“I... I should have done something,” she murmured, her voice hoarse and broken. “If I’d been faster, smarter... maybe they’d still be alive.”“Sarah,” Alexander said gently, his gaze piercing yet full of empathy. “What happened to the Millers is not on you. It’s on Gerald and his twisted games. You’re blaming yourself because you cared deeply for them, but don’t let that love turn into a burden you can’t carry.”Her chin dropped to her chest, her shoulders slumping under the weight of his words. “It’s just so hard to let go,” she whispered. “I keep seeing their faces, hearing their voices. I close my eyes, and they’

Alexander sighed, his hand moving to rub his jaw. He knew the toll this would take on her, but he also understood the weight of unresolved grief.He had faced it himself in countless moments of his own past.“Alright,” he said finally. “If it’s what you need, we’ll go. But you have to promise me something.”She looked at him with pleading eyes. “Anything.”“If it gets too much, you’ll tell me. We’ll leave. No questions asked,” he said firmly.She nodded, her fingers twisting in her lap. “I promise.”The drive to the Millers’ property was somber, the quiet inside the car broken only by the sound of the tires on the gravel road.Alexander sat beside her, his presence a silent source of strength.As they ascended the winding mountain road, the air grew colder, and the scent of pine mingled with something darker, smoke, faint and lingering, even days after the attack.The blackened ruins of the Millers’ cabin came into view, and Sarah’s breath hitched.Her hands clenched in her lap as the

The drive to the morgue was silent, heavy with the weight of unspoken emotions.Sarah sat in the passenger seat, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles white.Alexander sat beside her in his wheelchair, his sharp eyes flicking toward her every so often, as if to check she hadn’t crumbled completely.When they arrived, a somber attendant greeted them, his face drawn. “The bodies were handled with the utmost care,” he assured them as he led them down a sterile, fluorescent lit hallway.Sarah barely heard him. Her heart pounded as they approached the viewing room, her steps growing smaller, slower.She didn’t think she could do this.But then Alexander’s hand touched hers, grounding her. “I’m here,” he said softly, his voice steady and calm. “You don’t have to face this alone.”She nodded, her breath hitching as the attendant opened the door.Inside, the room was cold and clinical, with steel tables and white sheets draped over two motionless forms.The attendant stepped forw

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of Alexander’s estate, casting a warm glow on the polished wood floors.Despite the serene atmosphere inside, the world beyond the gates was anything but calm.The stillness of the estate contrasted sharply with the storm of chaos brewing outside.News channels buzzed with updates about the ambush at the Miller cabin.The tragedy had captured public attention, dominating the headlines and morning broadcasts.Reporters speculated about the culprits and the motives behind the brutal attack, their voices laced with a mix of shock and intrigue.“A brutal ambush claims the lives of two beloved community figures,” one anchor reported solemnly, the images of the Miller cabin ruins displayed on the screen.“Authorities are investigating, but no suspects have been named. Questions remain about the mysterious woman spotted fleeing the scene. Is this violence tied to a larger web of crime? Or was that Mrs. Blake?”Sarah sat in the living room, h

Raven chased after Sarah, her motorcycle weaving through the street like a shadow, moving with a precision only a skilled rider could manage.Sarah had barely settled back into the rhythm of driving when she caught sight of Raven through her side mirror, closing in on her car at a ridiculous speed.With a smirk, Sarah rolled down her window just as Raven pulled up beside her, her leather clad figure leaning slightly as she gestured toward Sarah to get her attention.“Race you back to the Blake Residence,” Raven called out, her voice carrying over the hum of her engine.Sarah's grin widened. Oh, this was exactly what she needed.“Fun,” she said, her fingers gripping the wheel in anticipation. “You’re on.”The moment the words left her mouth, Raven twisted the throttle, and her bike shot forward like a bullet, disappearing down the road.Sarah cursed under her breath, shifting gears instantly as she slammed her foot on the accelerator.She knew there was no way she was going to beat a m

His fingers dug into the seat. “Sarah...”“You sound scared.” She grinned, completely unbothered. “You look scared too.”Seb exhaled sharply, forcing himself to let go of the dashboard, though his pulse was still racing. “I just don’t have a death wish.”Sarah hummed as if considering his words, then suddenly, with an exhilarating rush of power, she shifted gears and pushed the car even faster.Seb nearly choked.“Sarah!”Another laugh. “Alright, alright. I’ll slow down, for now.”True to her word, she eased off the accelerator slightly, though her version of “slowing down” was still leagues beyond what any normal driver would consider safe.Seb let out a breath, relaxing marginally. His heart was still hammering against his ribs, but at least now he felt slightly less like he was about to die.Sarah glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her smirk widening. “Admit it, Seb. You had fun.”He shot her a flat look. “I was about ten seconds away from writing my will.”She chuckled,

Seb took a deep breath as he stepped out of his hospital ward, the cool air of the hallway a stark contrast to the stuffy room he had been confined to for weeks.His body had healed significantly, but there was still an ache in his ribs, a reminder of the reckless choice he had made that day.Yet, despite everything, she had visited him. Just once.At first, he had convinced himself she was just busy, dealing with her own injuries, maybe even shaken up by what had happened. But as the days turned into weeks, he realized the truth, she had chosen not to come.And maybe she was right to.After all, he had nearly cost her life once before. Saving her now didn’t erase that fact.His steps were slow as he made his way down the long corridor toward the exit, each one feeling heavier than the last.The nurses at the front desk gave him small nods, offering polite smiles as he passed, but he barely registered them.His thoughts were elsewhere, tangled between regret and reluctant acceptance.

Cecilia sat stiffly in the waiting area, her nails tapping impatiently against the armrest of the chair.The minutes stretched into an hour, and yet there was no sign of Alexander.She had thought he would at least grant her a short meeting, even if only to scold her. But the silence, the deliberate, deafening silence, was worse than any confrontation.The whispers around her grew louder. Employees who once feared her were now openly staring, some even chuckling as they walked past.The great Cecilia, reduced to waiting like some nobody.Her jaw clenched, and she checked her phone again, nothing. Not a call. Not a message.This is humiliating.Swallowing the lump of pride stuck in her throat, she stood up, straightening her blazer. There was no use waiting any longer. Alexander had made it clear, he had no intentions of seeing her.Lifting her chin, she walked toward the exit, ignoring the murmurs and stares. But deep inside, fury simmered beneath her poised exterior.Fine, Alexander.

Sarah strode toward Alexander’s office with confidence, her heels clicking against the sleek marble floors.The lingering presence of Cecilia downstairs didn’t bother her in the slightest, if anything, it amused her. The once untouchable Cecilia had been reduced to waiting in the lobby, ignored and humiliated.Raven, however, had no interest in whatever was about to unfold between Sarah and Alexander. The moment they reached the executive floor, she casually veered off in the opposite direction. “Yeah, I think I’ll go… anywhere else,” she muttered under her breath, making herself scarce before Sarah could rope her into anything.Sarah smirked, watching her slip away.Typical Raven. She had an uncanny ability to sense incoming drama and dodge it like a seasoned pro.With a soft chuckle, Sarah pushed open the double doors to Alexander’s office without knocking. She never knocked.Inside, Alexander sat behind his massive desk, flipping through documents. He didn’t even look up as he spok

It didn’t take long for whispers to spread through the Blake Group like wildfire.Cecilia, the once untouchable ice queen, was sitting in the waiting area like a rejected employee.The same Cecilia who used to treat people like they were beneath her.The same Cecilia who had once strutted through these halls, turning up her nose at anyone she deemed unworthy of her attention.Employees who had once feared her exchanged amused glances.Some dared to sneak a peek as they passed by, trying to confirm the unbelievable sight with their own eyes.“She’s really just sitting there?”“She hasn’t moved for over an hour.”“What does she think is going to happen? Mr. Blake doesn’t want to see her.”Laughter and hushed conversations buzzed in the air, and soon, the news made its way to Sarah.Sarah raised an eyebrow when Raven relayed the information to her, the corner of her lips twitching in amusement. “Cecilia? Sitting in the lobby? Like an abandoned puppy?”Raven smirked. “She looks pitiful, I

She answered but remained silent, letting Cecilia break first.“You little snake,” Cecilia hissed. “You recorded me?”“What can I say? I like to be prepared,” Victoria replied, feigning innocence. “You were so quick to abandon me, I had to make sure I had a safety net.”“Delete it. Now.”Victoria chuckled, savoring the desperation in Cecilia’s usually controlled voice. “Why would I do that? You’re the one who tried to pin everything on me. Do you think Alexander won’t find out what you did?”“Victoria,” Cecilia's voice dropped into a dangerous whisper. “If you send that to anyone...”“What? You’ll come after me?” Victoria interrupted, her voice hardening. “Like you tried with Sarah? Or will you run, just like you did with Alexander?”Silence stretched between them.“I want a deal,” Victoria continued. “If you want this recording to stay buried, you better make sure Alexander’s focus stays away. I need to clean this up, and you’re going to help me do it.”Cecilia exhaled sharply. “What

Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell sat in their grand living room, confusion etched on their faces as they reread the message from Alexander Blake."You crossed a line. This is the end for you."Mr. Caldwell frowned, his fingers tightening around the phone. "What the hell is this supposed to mean?" he muttered, passing the phone to his wife.Mrs. Caldwell’s brows furrowed as she read the message, her eyes narrowing. "I don’t understand. We haven’t done anything to provoke Alexander."From the corner of the room, Victoria stiffened, her heart pounding violently in her chest.She swallowed hard, forcing herself to stay composed. He knows. He had to.She had been careful, or so she thought. But if Alexander had sent this message, it meant one thing, he had figured it out.Her palms grew clammy as her mother looked up and asked, "Victoria, do you have any idea what this is about?"Victoria forced a confused expression, shaking her head. "Me? Why would I?"Mr. Caldwell exhaled sharply. "This is ridicul

Sarah stepped into her office, the scent of fresh lavender lingering in the air.The space was just as she had left it, elegant, minimalist, and filled with sketches and gemstone samples neatly arranged on the shelves.It felt both familiar and foreign after the chaos she had been through.Taking a deep breath, she walked around her desk and settled into her chair. Without missing a beat, she picked up the office phone and pressed the intercom button."Get me all the documents that need my attention. I want everything on my desk within the next five minutes," she said, her voice steady and authoritative.The response came immediately. "Right away, ma'am."As she set the receiver down, Raven plopped onto the couch, stretching her legs over the armrest. She looked around, then raised a brow at Sarah. "So… what exactly am I supposed to do here?"Sarah glanced at her with amusement. "Nothing."Raven blinked. "Nothing?"Sarah shrugged. "Just chill, have fun. Maybe go through my snack drawe
