All Chapters of The Disabled CEO is my Husband. : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The voice was very familiar, so much so that it sparked an ache through Elise’s chest. And before she lifted her face, she was almost silently praying that it belonged to her. The moment her gaze settled on the lady in front of her, the words, “You?” escaped her lips unrestrained. Lena stood still, shocked too on seeing Elise. It was almost a decade since she last sent her eyes on her, a decision that she had to take for good. For a moment, uncertainty filled her mind on seeing Elise, she had to choose between staying back, pretending that everything was okay, or bolting out of the door. Which in itself would have made her seem stupid.Elise stared at her with the warmth that clouded her eyes as she took in the features of the lady who had loved her and cared for her while she worked as their housekeeper, Lena. She had a petite size that seemed cute with her brown eyes, the same as Elise remembered, and her very dark hair that was neatly parked into a bun.After a very long time, E

Lucas stood just outside, in front of the black car holding the car door open as Alejandro guided Elise out of the house. In front of that car and behind it were a few of Alejandro’s men seated inside other cars. A measure that Alejandro had always put in place for security reasons. Elise swallowed countless times as she moved closer. The life she lived now was not a life she had ever imagined herself in, despite having big dreams. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she walked, and as soon she slid into the seat at the back, she exhaled. An exhale that was quickly short-lived, as Alejandro settled beside her. The door closed with a soft thud, and Lucas swiftly moved to the other side, taking his position behind the wheel. As if on cue, the engine of every other car that was with them came alive once Lucas started his, and in no time, they pulled out of the large estate. Alejandro’s estate. Through the tinted glasses, Elise’s gaze swept over the city’s landscape as

The low murmurs and clinking of glasses faded in the background as Elise shifted uncomfortably in her seat. The way Alejandro touched her did not help, and worse was the piercing glares from the ladies around her. It became so intense that Elise felt like she was being watched from a distance. Unable to hold it any longer, she quietly tilted her head to the left, and glanced over her shoulder. She scanned the room searching for whosoever it was that was staring intently at her until her gaze collided with a pair of sharp dark eyes. A young lady stood a few tables away, aware that Elise was staring at her, but her gaze stayed fixed on her. In fear and as she had not expected it, Elise quickly turned away, trying to calm herself from the chill that ran through her.“Is there a problem?” Alejandro picked up the sound of her heartbeat and turned to her. She quickly shook her head. “Stop touching me.”Alejandro let out a chuckle. “I am not going to stop.”Elise scrunched her nose wantin

The slam of the front door echoed through the mansion as Alejandro stormed inside, dragging Elise behind him.His grip on her waist was firm, but at this point, she had gotten too exhausted to protest. Plus she partly felt like her actions had stressed him out too much. She had noticed how Alejandro drew in a sharp breath and hissed through his teeth as if he was holding himself back from exploding. And her chest ached so much that somehow she had contributed to it. She should have just followed her instincts and not attended the party. Plus Alejandro should not have pushed it.Everything that had gone wrong that night happened too fast, and knowing who orchestrated it made it even worse. When Elise settled within herself to attend the party, the worst she thought could go wrong was Clara throwing a tantrum. Which already happened, and partly left her unscarred. Fortunately. Somehow, she had relaxed herself too much after it, and then everything spiraled downwards and out of contr

The morning light from the sun’s rising barely entered through the curtains when Alejandro finally stood from his chair. The chair he had stayed on all night.He had not slept well and had not even tried. He had stayed by Elise’s side through the night, watching her and listening to the sound of her soft breathing to make sure she was okay.Now, as he moved his gaze down at her, he felt a strange pull in his chest. Her face was peaceful, and completely unbothered from everything that had happened the previous day.A part of him wished she could stay like that forever, not asleep exactly but without any problems and situations to make her sad. But he knew sadly well that once she woke up, real life would come rushing back. And maybe not in the most amazing way. Letting out a soft exhale, Alejandro quietly left the bedroom. He could not promise Elise the most amazing life or a problem-free life, but he could play the most part to keep her happy. Shaking his head, he confirmed his tho
