All Chapters of The Disabled CEO's Swapped Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The room gasped audibly. Even the auctioneer paused for a fraction of a second before continuing. “Six million euros! Do I hear six point five?”Liam’s smirk faltered slightly. He leaned forward, clearly debating whether to press on. Then, with a nod, he raised his paddle again. “Seven million euros.”Sarah’s heart pounded as the bidding war continued.She wanted to shout at both of them to stop, but she was frozen, caught between fear and exhilaration.This wasn’t just about the jewelry anymore, it was about something unspoken and deeply personal.“Eight million euros,” Alexander countered, his tone icy as he shot a glare in Liam’s direction.Liam raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the tension. “Ten million euros,” he announced, his voice laced with challenge.The crowd was on the edge of their seats now, the stakes unlike anything they’d seen before.“Fifteen million,” Alexander said, barely looking at the auctioneer. His focus was entirely on Liam now, his jaw set with determinati

Sarah closed the case gently, her mind racing.She wanted to knock on the study door, to tell Alexander everything, but fear held her back. Fear of his disappointment, fear of his anger, and, most of all, fear of losing the fragile connection they had begun to build.Instead, she sank onto the plush sofa in the living room, the case resting on her lap.Her thoughts swirled in a chaotic mess of emotions, gratitude, guilt, frustration, and longing.Behind the locked door, Alexander sat at the large oak desk, his hands clenched into fists.The room was dimly lit, the glow of a desk lamp casting long shadows across the walls.The jewelry he had bid so fiercely for was now in Sarah’s hands, yet the satisfaction he had expected to feel was nowhere to be found.He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair.His mind replayed the events of the night, Liam’s smug grin, and the way she seemed to trust everyone but him.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath, slamming a fist onto

Sarah shifted slightly on Alexander's lap, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of his shirt.The intimacy of their position, her perched delicately on his lap while they sat in the quiet of his study, had eased some of the tension between them, but her curiosity gnawed at her.“Alexander,” she began softly, tilting her head to meet his gaze. “I’ve been meaning to ask… why did you bid so fiercely for the Mountain Rose jewelry? Especially when Blake Group already had Elise’s designs on display. Was it just business strategy?”His dark eyes held hers for a moment, searching, as if deciding how much of himself to reveal. Finally, he sighed, leaning back slightly, though his arms stayed firmly wrapped around her waist.“At first,” he admitted, “it was a calculated move. The Mountain Rose brand was gaining a lot of buzz, and I couldn’t let Blake Group miss out on the chance to align with such a name, even if it wasn’t ours.” He paused, his thumb lightly brushing over her back. “But then I s

The soft glow of the morning sun spilled through the curtains, casting a warm light over the room.Alexander stirred first, his senses waking to the comforting presence of Sarah still curled against him.For a moment, he let himself relish the quiet intimacy, the sound of her even breathing bringing a rare sense of calm.Just as he was about to close his eyes again, Sarah shifted, her hand lazily swiping across his chest as she stretched.Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at him groggily."Morning," she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips."Good morning," Alexander replied, his voice smooth but carrying a hint of teasing. "Finally awake, are we? I was beginning to think you'd sleep the whole day."Sarah let out a soft laugh, her face still nestled against his chest. "Says the man who couldn't keep his eyes open past midnight last night," she quipped, her tone playful."I was exhausted from all your secrets," Alexander shot bac

The streets of Paris were bustling as Alexander and Sarah strolled along, his wheelchair expertly maneuvering through the cobblestone streets.The crisp air was laced with the scent of freshly baked bread from nearby patisseries.Sarah had been unusually quiet though her eyes sparkled at every window display they passed.Alexander noticed her hesitance, attributing it to her nerves about the gala later that evening.His gaze softened. Though he had grown accustomed to masking his emotions, he found himself feeling strangely protective of her. More than usual."See something you like?" he asked, motioning toward a storefront showcasing elegant Parisian jewelry.Sarah shook her head, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Not really. Just admiring the craftsmanship."He arched a brow, a teasing grin tugging at his lips. "You, admiring someone else's jewelry? Should I be jealous?"Before Sarah could respond, a familiar voice cut through the din of the crowd."Alexander! Sarah!"They t
