Chapter 41: The Price of Secrets

The morning light filtered through the grand windows of Ethan’s study, illuminating the space as Emma placed a fresh cup of coffee on his desk. Ethan, deep in thought, barely noticed her presence. His focus was on the stack of documents in front of him, proposals for the new company he and Oliver were building from the ground up.“Ethan,” Emma called softly, breaking his concentration.He looked up, his eyes tired but sharp. “What is it?”She hesitated, her fingers nervously gripping the edge of the desk. “You’ve been working nonstop. You need to take a break. Your health—”“I don’t have time for breaks,” Ethan interrupted, his tone brisk. “This company is my only chance to prove I’m still relevant.”Emma frowned, crossing her arms. “You won’t be able to prove anything if you collapse from exhaustion.”Her bluntness caught him off guard, and for a moment, he stared at her. Then, to her surprise, a faint smile tugged at his lips.“You really don’t hold back, do you?”“Not when it comes

Chapter 42: Shadows of the Past

The soft patter of rain against the windows created a soothing rhythm in the sprawling mansion. Ethan sat in the study, staring out at the storm. His fingers drummed against the armrest of his wheelchair, lost in thought. He couldn't shake the words Emma had said to him days ago: "You don’t have to hide from me, Ethan. Not anymore."Her unwavering support had begun to chip away at his carefully constructed walls. For years, he'd kept everyone at arm's length, protecting himself from betrayal and disappointment. But Emma was different. She wasn’t afraid of his anger or his imperfections.“Lost in thought?” Emma’s voice broke through the silence.Ethan turned to see her standing at the door, a soft smile on her face. She carried a tray with tea and biscuits, an odd but endearing habit she’d picked up since moving in.“A little,” he admitted.Emma set the tray down and took a seat across from him. “Anything you want to talk about?”He hesitated, his gaze flicking to her. “Do you ever thi

Chapter 43: Lines Blur Between Duty and Desire

The early morning sun filtered through the tall windows of the mansion, casting warm streaks of light onto the polished floors. Ethan sat at the breakfast table, his wheelchair angled slightly away from the head of the table. Emma moved around the kitchen, her apron tied tightly around her waist as she flipped pancakes with practiced ease.Ethan’s gaze lingered on her, noticing the way the light caught in her hair, making it shimmer. She wasn’t just beautiful—she was radiant. For the first time in years, he felt a strange pull, a longing for something more than the cold, calculated life he’d been leading.“You’re staring,” Emma said without turning around, a teasing lilt in her voice.Ethan smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Maybe I’m just hungry.”Emma glanced over her shoulder, raising an eyebrow. “Hungry for what? Pancakes or something else?”Her boldness caught him off guard, and for a moment, he was speechless. The sound of her laugh broke the tension, and she turned back to th

Chapter 44: The Storm Gathers

The air in the mansion felt heavy, tension brewing like a thunderstorm on the horizon. Ethan spent most of his day in the study, poring over files and taking calls from Jake. His expression was a blend of frustration and determination, the weight of his company’s struggles pressing down on him.Emma, on the other hand, did her best to create a semblance of normalcy. She cooked meals, arranged his therapy schedule, and even tried to distract him with small moments of levity. But she couldn’t ignore the shadows under his eyes or the sharpness in his tone whenever the topic of the board’s betrayal came up.“Ethan,” Emma said softly as she entered the study late that afternoon. He was seated at his desk, his wheelchair pulled close to the edge, papers spread out in front of him.He glanced up, his eyes weary. “What is it, Emma?”“You’ve been in here all day. You need to take a break. Come outside with me, just for a few minutes.”Ethan sighed, leaning back in his chair. “I don’t have time

Chapter 45: A Proposal of Unity

Ethan sat in the therapy room, his hands gripping the armrests of his wheelchair as he watched Emma prepare for his session. The faint sound of classical music played in the background—a habit she insisted on to help him relax during their time together.“You seem tense today,” Emma said, glancing over her shoulder with a small smile.Ethan exhaled, his jaw tightening. “There’s a lot at stake. The company’s future depends on how I handle things this week.”Emma walked over and crouched in front of him, her gaze steady and warm. “One step at a time, Ethan. You don’t have to do it all at once.”His lips twitched into a faint smile. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one trying to stand on legs that don’t listen.”“True,” she replied with a teasing glint in her eyes. “But I am the one who’s going to make sure you get back on those legs, no matter how stubborn you are.”Ethan chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re relentless, you know that?”“Part of my charm,” Emma quipped, standing and r

Chapter 46: A Night of Vulnerability

The air between them was charged, thick with an unspoken tension that had been building for weeks. The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast soft shadows across the room, highlighting the taut line of Ethan’s jaw and the uncertain flicker in Emma’s eyes. She stood by the edge of the bed, her hand gripping the corner of the blanket nervously, while Ethan sat propped against the headboard, his gaze locked on her.For once, Ethan’s usual guarded expression was absent. Instead, his eyes held a vulnerability that Emma had never seen before, a mixture of longing and fear, as if he were terrified of letting her in yet unable to resist her pull.“Emma,” he murmured, his voice low and hoarse, “you don’t have to do this.”“I know,” she whispered, stepping closer until she stood mere inches from him. Her heart pounded in her chest as she searched his face, her resolve firming. “But I want to.”Her words seemed to shatter the invisible barrier between them. Ethan reached out, his fingers brushing aga

Chapter 47: Rebuilding Trust

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the bedroom. Ethan stirred awake, his arm instinctively reaching for Emma, only to find her side of the bed empty. For a moment, panic flickered in his chest. Had last night been a dream? Had he imagined the connection they’d shared?Then the faint sound of clattering dishes from the kitchen reassured him. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Emma was still here.Ethan propped himself up, wincing slightly as his leg throbbed with its usual ache. The night’s intimacy had left him feeling lighter, but the physical reminders of his accident were still present. Determined not to let his disability define the moment, he reached for his crutches and maneuvered himself out of bed.As he entered the kitchen, he found Emma standing by the stove, humming softly to herself. She was dressed in one of his oversized shirts, her hair slightly tousled from sleep. The sight made something tighten in his chest—an un

Chapter 49: Breaking the Barriers

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the living room. Emma sat on the couch with her notebook, her brows furrowed as she jotted down ideas for Ethan’s therapy plan. Each step was meticulous, designed to ensure his recovery was steady and effective.She glanced at the clock. Ethan’s session was scheduled to begin in ten minutes, and as usual, she was ready to face his grumbling about the exercises. Despite his protests, she could see the determination in his eyes every time he completed a session.Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ethan’s crutches on the hardwood floor. He appeared in the doorway, his hair slightly disheveled and his expression unreadable.“Good morning,” she greeted, setting her notebook aside.“Morning,” he replied, his tone gruff but not unkind. He moved to the couch and sat down beside her, resting his crutches against the armrest.Emma studied him for a moment. There was something different about him today—an air

Chapter 50: Unveiling the Past

The days seemed to pass quickly, with Emma and Ethan falling into a rhythm. Therapy sessions, shared meals, and late-night conversations became their new normal. However, beneath the surface, Emma could sense Ethan's restlessness growing. He had always been a man of action, and being confined to his home was beginning to take a toll on him.One afternoon, as Emma helped Ethan through another grueling therapy session, she noticed his mind seemed elsewhere.“Ethan,” she said gently, “are you okay?”He exhaled sharply, setting the resistance band aside. “I’m fine.”She raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “You’ve been distracted all day. If something’s bothering you, you can tell me.”For a moment, Ethan said nothing. Then, with a reluctant sigh, he looked at her. “It’s the shareholders. I heard from Jake this morning that they’re moving forward with appointing a new CEO. Officially.”Emma’s chest tightened. “But... you’re the founder. They can’t just push you out like this.”“They ca

Chapter 51: A New Alliance

The morning sun filtered through the large windows of Ethan's home, casting a warm glow over the living room. Emma sat at the dining table, sipping her coffee, while Ethan was on a call with Jake. She couldn’t hear the full conversation, but the stern tone in Ethan’s voice was enough to indicate it was about the upcoming board meeting. Ethan ended the call with a sharp “Make it happen” before wheeling himself over to the table. “Jake?” Emma asked as she handed him his coffee. He nodded. “The board meeting is set for tomorrow. This is my chance to convince them that I’m still capable of leading the company.” “You will,” Emma said confidently. “You just need to remind them why they trusted you in the first place.” Ethan smirked. “You make it sound so simple.” “It’s not,” she admitted, “but you’ve overcome bigger challenges.” He studied her for a moment, his eyes softening. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.” The rest of the day was spent preparing for the meeting.
