Chapter 81: A Fragile Alliance

Morning broke over the estate with a light drizzle, the soft patter of rain against the windows adding a serene rhythm to the day. Ethan sat in the living room, a tablet in hand, as he reviewed the evidence Jake had provided the night before. His jaw was set, his mind sharp despite the growing tension.Emma entered the room with a tray of coffee and a light breakfast. “Did you even sleep?” she asked, placing the tray on the table.“A little,” Ethan replied, not looking up from the screen. “There’s no time to waste. We need to act fast before he realizes we’re onto him.”Emma sat down beside him, handing him a cup. “Have you thought about how the board might react? If they’re still loyal to him, this could backfire.”Ethan sipped his coffee, his eyes narrowing. “They’ll react to proof. Greed and self-preservation drive them more than loyalty ever could. Once they see the embezzlement, they’ll turn on him.”Emma studied him for a moment. “You sound confident.”“I have to be,” Ethan said

Chapter 82: Rekindled Resolve

The morning after the dramatic boardroom showdown, the house was unusually quiet. Emma woke up to find Ethan already gone from his room. Concerned, she hurriedly freshened up and headed to his study. She found him sitting at his desk, his wheelchair tucked neatly under the table, papers spread out before him.“Ethan, it’s barely dawn,” she said, stepping inside. “Have you even slept?”He glanced up, dark circles under his eyes but a determined gleam in his gaze. “Not much. There’s too much to catch up on. I can’t afford to waste time.”Emma sighed, walking over to him. She rested a hand on the desk. “You’ve been pushing yourself nonstop. You just regained a foothold in the company. Take a moment to breathe.”Ethan leaned back in his chair, the tension in his shoulders barely easing. “Emma, the company’s still vulnerable. I need to ensure that every leak is plugged before someone else tries to take advantage.”Emma frowned. “And what about your recovery? Your health?”“I’m working on t

Chapter 83: Unraveling the Past

The next morning, Emma found Ethan in his study, a frown etched deep into his face as he stared at his laptop screen. His wheelchair was positioned by the window, the early sunlight casting a golden glow around him. He looked up when she entered, his expression softening ever so slightly.“You’re up early again,” she said, setting a cup of coffee on his desk. “Is something wrong?”Ethan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Just going through the company’s finances. The mess left by the interim CEO is worse than I thought.”Emma sat on the edge of the desk, concern etched on her features. “Do you think you can fix it?”“I have to,” he replied firmly. “This company is my responsibility. But...” His voice trailed off, and he hesitated before continuing, “I found some discrepancies. Things don’t add up, and I’m starting to suspect foul play.”Emma’s eyes widened. “Foul play? Like embezzlement?”“Possibly,” Ethan admitted. “I’ve sent some files to a trusted investigator, but it’s goin

Chapter 84: Steps Toward Healing

Ethan woke the next morning to the sound of birds chirping faintly outside his window. For the first time in months, his chest felt lighter, a sensation that puzzled him at first. Then he remembered the night before—the conversation with Emma, her quiet tears, and the unspoken promise of a fresh start between them.He turned his head toward the doorway, where the faint aroma of coffee wafted into the room. Moments later, Emma appeared a tray in hand with breakfast neatly arranged. She smiled at him, a soft, tentative expression that made his heart stir.“You’re up early,” Ethan said, his voice still husky from sleep.“I thought you could use a good breakfast before your therapy session,” Emma replied, setting the tray on the nightstand. “Today’s a big day.”Ethan’s jaw tensed. The idea of physical therapy always brought a mix of hope and frustration. Progress had been slow, and while he trusted Emma, he couldn’t shake the nagging doubt that he might never walk again.Emma seemed to se

Chapter 85: The Storm Within

Ethan woke with a start, his chest heaving as beads of sweat clung to his brow. The nightmare had been vivid—a replay of the accident that had stolen his mobility and changed the course of his life. He rubbed his face with trembling hands, his mind racing.The room was dark, save for the faint glow of the bedside lamp that Emma must have left on. He glanced at the clock; it was barely past three in the morning. He considered trying to fall back asleep but knew it would be futile. The haunting images of the crash, the screech of tires, and the deafening silence that followed wouldn’t let him rest.Shifting in bed, he noticed Emma’s faint silhouette on the couch across the room.

Ethan woke up the next morning with a sense of calm he hadn’t felt in years. The lingering fatigue of his disability, the endless therapy, and the overwhelming pressure from the past seemed distant. The small, quiet moments he shared with Emma felt like his anchor in a sea of uncertainty.

Chapter 90: The Road Ahead

The days passed in a blur of physical therapy, early mornings, and quiet evenings spent together. Ethan’s recovery was slow but steady, and with each passing day, he felt a bit stronger, a bit more capable. The weight of his disability didn’t feel as heavy as it had before, and his confidence in himself was beginning to rebuild, piece by piece.Yet, even as he gained strength, there was always the looming question of what came next. The business he’d put on hold, the career he’d almost lost—everything had to be rebuilt from the ground up. He wasn’t the man he used to be, and the thought of facing the world again, this time without the crutches of his past, made him uneasy.It was in the midst of one of these moments of uncertainty that Emma’s voice broke through his thoughts.“Ethan,” she called softly from across the room, where she was sorting through a pile of paperwork. “I think it’s time.”He turned toward her, brow furrowed in confusion. “Time for what?”Emma stood up, folding t
