Chapter 121: A Turning Point

The press conference had ended, leaving a mix of tension and relief in its wake. Ethan and Emma exited the venue, their expressions unreadable as cameras followed their every move. The ride back to the mansion was silent, each lost in their thoughts.Emma stared out the window, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her dress. The words she had spoken earlier replayed in her mind. She had meant every single one, but the vulnerability of baring her emotions in front of the world still lingered.Ethan’s hand on hers pulled her from her thoughts. His touch was firm yet comforting. “You did well,” he said, his voice breaking the silence.She turned to him, searching his face for any trace of doubt. Instead, she found something rare—approval. “So did you,” she replied softly, her lips curving into a small smile.They arrived at the mansion to find the staff lined up, their demeanor more respectful than usual. The press conference had clearly sent a message, one that resonated even withi

Chapter 122: The Calm Before the Storm

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow over the master bedroom. Emma stirred beneath the covers, her eyes fluttering open. She turned to find Ethan already awake, sitting in his wheelchair by the window, gazing out at the sprawling estate below. She could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw was set. Whatever Jake had brought to his attention last night was still weighing heavily on his mind. Quietly, she slipped out of bed and approached him, her bare feet barely making a sound on the plush carpet. “Couldn’t sleep?” she asked softly, placing a hand on his shoulder. Ethan didn’t turn to look at her, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Too much on my mind,” he admitted. His voice was low, almost distant. Emma pulled up a chair beside him, sitting down so they were eye level. “Want to talk about it?” For a moment, he didn’t answer. Then, with a sigh, he turned to face her. “It’s not just the betrayal, Emma. It’s the fact that someone I trusted

Chapter 123: Shadows of Betrayal

Ethan gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly as Jake pushed him into the study. The urgency in Jake’s tone still echoed in his ears. Whatever the investigation had uncovered, it was significant enough to warrant dragging him away from the rare moment of peace he’d shared with Emma.The study was dimly lit, the large oak table spread with files, photographs, and a laptop displaying a paused video. Emma followed closely, her eyes scanning the setup with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.Jake stepped forward and cleared his throat. “We’ve confirmed the traitor, sir. It’s someone within your inner circle.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold. “Show me.”Jake hit play on the video. The footage showed a surveillance camera in one of the company’s private conference rooms. A familiar figure was hunched over a laptop, typing furiously. The timestamp indicated this had taken place late at night, long after normal business hours.“Linford?” Ethan growled, his tone sharp enough to c

Chapter 124: The Silent War

The following days were a blur of strategic meetings and quiet tension. Ethan’s world was beginning to feel like a tightrope, each step measured and calculated. He couldn’t afford to make a single misstep—especially with the threat of betrayal looming over him.Emma remained by his side, her presence a constant in the chaos. She had always been a calming force, but lately, Ethan noticed a subtle shift in her demeanor. She was no longer just his wife. She had become his rock, the one person he could rely on amid his unraveling empire.Yet, he couldn't ignore the weight of the truth: Emma was tied to his success—and his downfall. Her family had married her off to him for power, their ambitions as dark as his own. He had never thought much about her past, her real feelings, or the depth of the sacrifices she had made for him. But now, as the truth about his family’s treachery began to unfold, the question lingered: How much longer would Emma stand by him?That night, as Ethan sat in the

Chapter 125: A Ticking Clock

Ethan sat in his study, his mind racing in circles. The echoes of Emma’s words lingered like a wound that wouldn’t heal.“I’ve always been the pawn, Ethan…”He had faced enemies in business, betrayal from family, and even the uphill battle to regain his strength after the accident. But nothing had ever shaken him the way Emma’s pain-filled voice had.It was well past midnight, and the dim glow of the desk lamp cast long shadows across the room. Jake stood by the door, his face impassive as always, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of concern.“Should I follow her, sir?” Jake asked.Ethan shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. “No. Let her cool off. She needs space.”Jake hesitated. “And what about Daniel? He won’t waste time using this against you.”Ethan’s jaw clenched. He knew Jake was right. Daniel was like a vulture, circling for the kill. He had already tried to manipulate Emma; who knew what he would do next?“Double security,” Ethan said finally, his voice cold and c

Chapter 126: Breaking Barriers

The morning sunlight streamed through the large windows of the Johnson estate, casting a golden hue on the pristine marble floors. Ethan remained seated in the dining room long after Emma had left. Her words echoed in his mind, stirring emotions he had buried long ago.He had promised to try, but what did that even mean? For someone like him, trying meant fighting for control, asserting dominance, and keeping emotions at bay. Letting someone in required vulnerability, and that terrified him.Jake entered the room, his usual stoic expression in place. “Sir, the doctor has arrived for your therapy session.”Ethan frowned. “I thought Emma was supposed to handle my therapy.”“She insisted on bringing in a specialist for today,” Jake explained. “She said she’ll join once you’re ready.”Ethan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Fine. Let’s get this over with.”---Emma stood outside the therapy room, watching as the specialist worked with Ethan. She had intentionally taken a step back

Chapter 127: A Fragile Alliance

The soft hum of the evening surrounded the estate as Ethan and Emma sat across from each other at the dining table. The tension between them had eased slightly, replaced with a tentative air of understanding.Ethan tapped his fingers on the edge of his chair, his gaze drifting between the food on his plate and Emma’s calm expression. “You haven’t cooked before, have you?”Emma raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “What gave it away? The slightly burnt edges or the uneven seasoning?”“Both,” Ethan replied dryly, though a rare chuckle escaped him.“I’m trying,” she countered, taking a sip of water. “And I think it’s edible enough.”“It is,” he admitted. “I’ve eaten worse.”Emma smiled at his attempt at humor. “Small victories, right?”He nodded, but his expression grew somber. “Emma, I need to ask you something.”She placed her fork down, her curiosity piqued. “What is it?”“Why did you agree to marry me?”The question hung in the air, heavy with unspoken emotions.Em

Chapter 128: Unspoken Confessions

The evening air was cool, carrying the scent of freshly cut grass from the garden. Ethan remained in his study, poring over documents Jake had delivered earlier. His focus, however, was elsewhere.Emma’s face kept flashing in his mind—her fierce determination, her unwavering support, and the spark in her eyes when she stood up to anyone, even him.He leaned back in his wheelchair, rubbing his temples. “What’s happening to me?” he muttered under his breath.“Talking to yourself now?” Emma’s voice broke through his thoughts as she stepped into the room with a steaming cup of tea.Ethan glanced up, startled but quickly masking it with a smirk. “A bad habit I’ve developed since meeting you.”Emma chuckled, setting the cup on his desk. “Well, I’m flattered.”She leaned against the edge of the desk, crossing her arms. “You’ve been working all day. You need a break.”“Work doesn’t stop just because I’m... temporarily indisposed,” he replied, gesturing to his legs.Emma frowned. “That’s exact

Chapter 129: A War of Wits

The boardroom at Johnson Industries was abuzz with tension. Ethan’s wheelchair glided through the entrance with Jake trailing behind, carrying documents. The air was thick with anticipation as the shareholders turned to face their embattled CEO.Ethan’s icy gaze swept the room. His presence, even seated, commanded attention.“Mr. Johnson,” an older shareholder named Harold began, “we’ve called this meeting to discuss the future leadership of this company.”Ethan raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t aware my leadership was in question.”Harold cleared his throat. “Given your... condition, we believe it’s in the best interest of the company to appoint an interim CEO.”Ethan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “My condition has no bearing on my ability to lead. Unless, of course, you have evidence to prove otherwise.”The room fell silent. Harold shifted uncomfortably, but another shareholder, Mrs. Carter, spoke up. “Ethan, it’s not personal. We’re concerned about stability. The company needs a

Chapter 130: An Unexpected Ally

The afternoon sun streamed through the large windows of Ethan’s office, casting long shadows on the polished floor. Emma sat on the couch, sorting through medical notes for Ethan’s next round of therapy. Despite the victory in the boardroom, the tension lingered. Ethan was unusually quiet, his piercing eyes fixed on a document in his hand.“You’re brooding,” Emma said without looking up, her tone light.“I don’t brood,” Ethan replied, though the slight edge in his voice betrayed him.Emma chuckled softly. “Sure you don’t. So what’s on your mind?”Ethan folded the paper and set it on his desk. “The shareholders. Harold isn’t going to give up that easily. He’s always wanted more control.”Emma glanced at him, her brow furrowing. “Do you think he’ll try something else?”“Absolutely,” Ethan said, his tone flat. “Men like him don’t back down. They wait for weakness and strike when you least expect it.”Emma bit her lip, considering his words. “Then we need to make sure he doesn’t get the c
