"You're here to play nurse, not to pretend you care," he snapped, his cold gaze locking onto hers. "And you are here to waste your life because it's easier than fighting for it," she shot back, her voice shaking but defiant. He wheeled closer, his jaw clenched. "Don't think for a second that you can fix what is so broken." I'm not here to fix you," she whispered, her eyes unrelenting. "I'm here because I believe there's more to you than this bitterness. He was the untouchable golden boy of his family, a magnetic presence destined to inherit a sprawling empire. His charm, his power, and his perfection made him unstoppable until a car crash shattered his life and left him confined to a wheelchair. His once-loyal followers turned their backs, leaving him drowning in the bitterness of betrayal. She was living proof of her family-a forgotten daughter whose dreams of becoming a doctor kept her sane amidst years of neglect. All she wanted in life was freedom, but fate had other plans. Forced into a contract marriage with the epitome of misery, she found herself engulfed in a battle she never asked for. Their worlds collide in a storm of resentment and vulnerability. Underneath his bitterness, though, lies the ruins of a man who had everything to lose-and the dim hope of someone who could help him find it again. As she works her way through his fury, and he pushes against her kindness, a bond forms-a bond neither expected. But with jealous rivals scheming in the shadows and old wounds threatening to tear them apart, their fight for love becomes a war for survival. Can two broken souls find strength in each other, or will the scars of their pasts destroy them both?

Chapter Fourteen: The Discussion.Ethan sat up on his chair and adjusted his pants once more. "Okay, if you say so. Tell me what happened." Maya inhaled deeply and rubbed her temple. "I was left out." Her lips pressed into a thin line. Ethan chuckled.Maya rolled her eyes and continued. "Your mother didn't give me the support that I needed." She sighed deeply as she tried to control her emotions. "I was all by myself in that conference room while Thomas and the investors were having their mutual connection. Your mother sat there, looking at me like am a stranger." She exhaled loudly and swallowed hard. "You know, Thomas has been in the business for a long time, so it was all easy for him since the investors already knew him."Ethan burst into laughter. "If only you had listened to me, you would have saved yourself from all this embarrassment. I told you not to get involved in that business deal, didn't I?" He gaze sternly fixed at Maya. "Were you actually expecting my mother to supp

Chapter Thirteen: Home At Last.The soft glow of the lamp cast a warm hue over the living room, Maya dragged herself through the front door and slumped into the sofa, as she kicked off her heels, pulled off her blazers, and undid her buttons. She exhaled a long, exhausted sigh as she thought about the whole meeting process with the investors. Today has been a diaster; it's weight clung on her like a heavy coat. The disapproving words of Mrs Caldwell kept on repeating in her mind, Thomas rough voice and annoying laughter lingered for a while, and the dinging sound of the tiny center bell the investors kept shaking for approval, won't stop ringing in her ear.She groaned as she placed her hand on her pounding head and massaged her throbbing temples with her fingers. She let out a sigh and stretched her hurting feet on round brown oak centre table.She just want to have a nice warm bath and sleep it off. But something was off; why is the house so quiet? Where is Ethan? She looked around

Chapter Twelve: The Argument."Maya!" Mrs. Caldwell walked up to Maya and pulled her by the hand to where her car is parked. "Stop saying that shit; this madness is getting out of control. Stop it, please!" She stamped her feet and grunted with a low voice.She walked up to Thomas. "don't listen to what that bitch is saying. Ethan is coming; I guess he should be close by now, he is already on his way here." Her voice was sharp and fierce.Then she walked back to where Maya was standing, and she leant her back on the car. "For the last time, I am going to say this; I don't want any form of embarrassment out here. You don't know Thomas very well, do you?" She asked coyly as she toyed with the fancy pendant on her gold necklace. Maya shook her head. "But I do." Mrs. Caldwell continued. "I knew him right from when he was born. I know his parents, his family included." She paced in front of the car, her hands clasped behind her. "Thomas is not someone you toy with. And you don't conten

Chapter Eleven: The Rival.Mrs. Caldwell let out a loud laugh. "Do you think this is some sort of joke? Anyway, I know that Ethan loves running away from responsibilities, but this?" She shook her head. "It's a shame; a disgrace to the family name. What is Ethan trying to prove?" She asked herself and turned to Maya, "I'm telling you for the second time to go back home and tell Ethan that he is needed here and am not going to take no for an answer." Her tone, sharp and rigid."Neither am I here for a joke Mrs. Caldwell. And I am not going back home. You want to pass a message across to Ethan, then call him on the phone. This is a serious business deal, and I think I can handle it." Maya insisted as she rushed into the car to bring out her tablet and jotter."You think? Did Ethan evaluate your business qualities before he sent you out here, as you claimed?" She shook her head in disappointment. "You ain't even sure of yourself in the first place. Then how do you intend to get this co

Chapter Ten: Greatest Fear.The next morning, Maya dressed up and picked her phone from the sofa in the living room."Where are you going to all dressed up?" Ethan's rich baritone voice called out from behind the curtain. His voice was filled with surprise but calm."The exact place you have in mind." She said, adjusting her gold earrings, and walked to the kitchen and poured herself a cup of hot coffee. "I'm going to resume my duty at the company." She smiled.Ethan let out a dry laugh, "you are going to resume your duty at the Caldwell Corperation? I never knew you were damn serious about this. I thought you were going to change your mind.""I meant each word I said and nothing will make me have a change of heart." Maya adjusted the sleeves of her designer's black blazers, a hint of finality in her tone."I can see your mind is already made up but do you really know who the woman you are going to work for is? my mother?" He scoffed and shrugged. "Anyway, even though I don't really c

Chapter Nine: The Agreement."You being disgraced will not mean anything to me because obviously you are so pushy," Ethan's brows furrowed as he picked a rock and threw it into the water fountain. "You let your ambitions to cover your eyes, all because you think you can save this marriage," He pinched the tip of his nose. "But still I won't advise you to go make a fool of yourself at the company because at the end of the day it will all fall back to me since the public knows you as my wife." Ethan lifted up his cigar for another drag."And who is talking about being disgraced here?" Maya stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "I know you don't believe in me but I can do it; I can pull this deal through.""So confident of yourself, right?" Ethan wheeled himself under a shade; his voice was filled with sarcasm with a grim expression on his face."Just try me and see." Maya smirked, her tone assertive.Ethan eyed Maya and scoffed. If only she knew what she was up against and who Tho

Chapter Eight: The Contract.Ethan looked at Maya for a few seconds and let out a loud laugh."You want to know the truth?" He laughed out loud again and shook his head. "I can see you are a very stubborn and strong-willed lady. Why don't you just give up and stop being so interested in my business?" He used his sleeve to wipe the bead of sweat embedded on his forehead, "But don't worry, I know with time you would leave by yourself. I won't have to chase you away." He grinned.Maya rolled her eyes. "Time will tell." She said quietly. "What was the argument about? Between you and your mother. Why were you guys shouting?""No wonder you came," Ethan murmured nonchalantly."Yes, it was loud enough to bring down the whole house. I thought you were about to..." Her voice was clipped."To do what?" Ethan raised his brows. "You thought I wanted to hurt myself?" He chuckled. "How can you think such things about me? It seems that savior attitude of yours is beginning to have an impact on your

Chapter Seven: Don't Leave Me."Maya!" Ethan's rich baritone voice cut through the stillness of the garden as she was about to step out of the garden.She stopped and turned. "What? Didn't you just asked me to leave? Why are you calling me back? I know this is all you wanted right from the first day we met; you never wanted me to be a part of your life." Her voice was filled with rage, her eyes brimmed with tears; she fought back from slipping off. "So, today I am about to honor that wish of yours." She paused. "I have chosen to leave and never coming back. I guess you must be happy now?" She turned the doorknob."Maya," Ethan's said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "Please, wait.""What do you want from me? Tell me! I don't understand." she snapped, pacing a short distance in the garden. "I don't just understand you at all, Ethan. One minute you are calm, the next minute you are acting like the whole world is against you." Her voice was filled with frustration."Okay, okay.

Chapter Six: Shattered Heart.Maya stood by the window as she looked blankly into the empty street, her arms wrapped around her chilly body, her heart thrummed loudly against her chest like it was about to explode.Who is behind all these threats? She walked up to the trash bin and retrieved the rumpled note from it as she un-squeezed it with trembling hand, her hands held tightly to the note, her wet palm creating a print on it, she stared hopelessly at the note trying to process the message written on it.Who has Ethan offended to send such threats to her? Is it his ex-lover? Amelia?Maya's thought was disrupted by a loud sound from the garden. It sounded like a smashed glass. Her heart skipped a beat.Ethan? She hope he hasn't tried to hurt himself again?She hurriedly went into the garden but was stopped by a voice having an argument with Ethan. The voice sounds familiar, like that of Mrs Caldwell. She hid behind a tall flower wall as she listened to their conversation. "Ethan,

Chapter 1 Broken Promises
Chapter 1 Broken Promises“Ethan, you can’t keep pouting in then like some woeful idol. It’s disturbing,” Victoria Caldwell’s voice sliced through the silence of the dimly lit study like a blade.Ethan slightly squinched. His reflection in the mirror held his attention, indeed as his mama stood brewing in the doorway. “Sulking? I didn’t realize gaping at the wreckage of my life qualified as a hobby.”Victoria stepped closer, her heels clicking against the hardwood bottom. “Enough of this self- pity. We’re having dinner tonight — an important dinner. You’ll attend, and you’ll bear.”He swirled his wheelchair slightly, eventually admitting her presence. “Dinner? Why? Another one of your charity galas to parade your imperfect son around?”Her sharp inhale betrayed her irritation. “You’re marrying Maya.”The words hit him like a physical blow, though he kept his expression neutral. His fingers tensed on the armrests. “Come again?”“Maya Harper. You’ve met her father, Gregory. He’s. useful...
