Chapter 21

After Arabella left, Edwin immediately called Harry, furious.[What do you mean? You’re not supporting Arabella? That was part of our deal!] Edwin's voice rose, filled with accusation.Harry leaned back in his wheelchair, trying to contain his own anger. [I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Edwin.][Don’t play dumb! You made her come here and beg for a job. That means you’re not giving her enough! You broke your promise!]Edwin emphasized each word sharply. [Listen! Arabella came here wanting a job!]Harry ran a frustrated hand over his face. [I never abandoned her. Be careful with your words, Sir!]Harry clenched his jaw. He knew Arabella had lied about her job. But why would she go so far?The man let out an irritated huff. He needed to teach Arabella a lesson so she wouldn’t do whatever she pleased.***The sky was turning a shade of purple when Arabella finally arrived home. She carefully opened the door, hoping to slip in unnoticed. But her hopes were shattered when a loud voi

Chapter 22

Harry quietly took in the aroma of the food. He tried to appear indifferent, but his ears caught every sound from the kitchen—the sizzle of the frying pan, the clatter of plates, even Arabella’s light footsteps.A few minutes later, Arabella appeared with a plate in her hands. She placed it on the dining table before turning to pour a cup of black coffee.“It’s ready,” she said softly.Harry glanced at the breakfast on the table. The pancakes looked soft, drizzled with glistening honey. Scrambled eggs sat golden and fluffy on the side of the plate.Arabella watched him closely, trying to read his reaction. But Harry simply sat down, picked up his fork, and started eating without a word.The only sound in the room was the faint clinking of his fork against the plate.Arabella sat across from him, sipping her coffee, sneaking glances at Harry. He ate calmly, occasionally taking a sip of his coffee. His silence wasn’t due to displeasure—Arabella was sure of that. In fact, there was somet

Chapter 23

Arabella sank into the car seat, her breath still ragged after running as fast as she could from the dog chasing her. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her racing heart, which felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. But the peace didn’t last long.A deep voice disturbed her.“I didn't know you liked sneaking into other people's cars now.”A cold voice greeted her ears, making Arabella snap her eyes open and turn to the side. There, sitting casually, was a man in a neat suit, a mask covering half of his face, but his eyes were filled with mockery.“Harry?!” Her voice nearly screeched as she instinctively wanted to jump out, but then she remembered the bulldog still prowling outside.Harry raised an eyebrow, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation from Arabella. His sharp gaze pierced through her, making her even more embarrassed and awkward.Arabella wanted to dig a hole and hide. How could she have entered Harry’s car?!She swallowed hard. “I… I can explain,

Chapter 24

Arabella had just stepped out of the elevator on the seventh floor of Anderson Corporation, carefully pushing Harry's wheelchair. The office was bustling with activity—the sound of hurried footsteps and hushed conversations filled the air. Harry appeared calm, though there was a flicker of unease in his eyes.Suddenly, from behind, a beautiful blonde woman strode quickly forward and, without hesitation, took over Harry’s wheelchair, shoving Arabella’s hands away as if she were merely an attendant. The force nearly sent Arabella stumbling.“I’ll be the one pushing him,” the woman declared firmly, treating Arabella as nothing more than an employee.Arabella was momentarily stunned but quickly realized who the woman was. Celine. Harry’s ex-fiancée. The woman who had abandoned him after he became paralyzed.Harry looked even more shocked than Arabella. His eyes widened as he saw Celine standing behind him.“Celine? What are you doing here?” His voice was heavy, a mix of shock and disbelie

Chapter 25

The atmosphere in Anderson Corporation’s annual board meeting was tense. Shareholders, board members, and the extended Anderson family were seated around a huge, long table, with glass walls offering a panoramic view of the towering city skyline.At the head of the table was Harry in his wheelchair, his face calm despite the almost tangible hostility in the room.Across from him, his ambitious cousin Adam leaned back confidently. He had been ruthlessly sticking Harry with his arguments since the meeting began.“This firm can’t be managed by a person who is… excuse me, physically handicapped,” Adam scorned. “Since the accident, the company’s performance has really declined. Our stocks are unstable. We need someone who can be in the front lines, not just sit behind a desk.”Some of the family members nodded in concurrence. There were murmurs in the room. But nobody could contribute to the argument before an authoritative voice pierced through the air.“Some tend to overlook the fact tha

Chapter 26

That morning, Arabella woke up earlier than usual. She stepped into the kitchen with a newfound determination, something she hadn’t felt in months. The crisp morning air flowed in through the window, while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the room.She took a few ingredients from the fridge—eggs, bread, and a few slices of smoked beef. With practiced ease, her hands started preparing a simple breakfast. It didn’t take long before a plate of omelet, toast, and a steaming cup of coffee were neatly arranged on the dining table.When Harry entered the kitchen in his wheelchair, he froze at the sight. Usually, the chef prepared his meals, but this time, it was Arabella who had done it.Arabella had already asked the chef for permission to prepare breakfast for Harry.“You cooked?” Harry asked, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.Arabella shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. “I just felt like doing something useful this morning. If you don’t like it, I can—”“I’m not rejecting

Chapter 27

The darkness of the night enveloped the city as Harry sat in his study, staring blankly at his laptop screen. Thoughts of his accident a year ago still haunted him. The injury that left him paralyzed had not only changed his life but also made him question many things.“I won’t let this slide,” he murmured softly.He had remained silent for too long. But now, he needed answers. That was why, a few weeks ago, he had hired a private detective, Marcus, to uncover the truth behind the accident that happened during his business trip.At exactly eight in the evening, his phone vibrated. Marcus's name flashed on the screen. Harry immediately answered the call.“Did you find anything?” he asked without preamble.“Yes,” Marcus replied. “I need you to meet me now. It’s urgent.”Harry frowned. Marcus was not the type to exaggerate. If he said something was urgent, then it really was.“Alright. I’ll be waiting at home.”Fifteen minutes later, Marcus arrived at Harry’s residence, carrying a thick

Chapter 28

Harry sat in his room, lost in thought. Again, he always felt guilty whenever he raised his voice at Arabella. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. Seeing Arabella’s hurt face seemed to pierce his heart.“Am I overreacting? But... I don’t want to fall in love again.”Harry wrestled with his inner turmoil. He feared opening his heart to another woman. He didn’t want to give Arabella false hope either.Wait, the sudden image of Celine appeared in his mind, making him hesitant. Did Celine truly regret leaving him when he needed support from those closest to him?Harry took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying hard to calm himself. Deep down, Celine’s name still lingered in his heart.That night, Harry lay in his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He had tried to close his eyes several times, but his mind kept wandering to one name, Celine.He still loved her.Or at least, that’s what he had always believed. But when Celine returned and begged for a second chance, doubt be

Chapter 29

Celine pretended to ponder, stroking her chin. “I’ve changed my mind! I don’t want that bag anymore. Bring me a different model, the latest one, of course!”Arabella took a deep breath. As if Celine’s sharp words weren’t enough to stab her chest, now the blonde-haired girl was playing tricks on her.“Of course, please wait a moment.” Arabella turned toward the storage rack, but before she could take a step, Celine’s voice rang out again.“Oh wait! Make sure you pick the best one. I don’t want anything cheap.” Celine let out a light chuckle, her tone laced with feigned amusement. But Arabella knew better. This wasn’t just a simple request from a customer. This was a game.Arabella retrieved a few bags from the latest collection and returned to the counter, carefully placing them on the table. “Here are some options that might suit you, Miss Celine.”Celine picked up one of the bags, examining it as if she were evaluating something worthless. She shook her head and tossed the bag back

Chapter 30

Celine crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes gleaming with triumph. “So? Are you going to kneel and apologize, or are you going to pay for the bag?”There was a reason Celine spoke that way. No one in the boutique believed Arabella when she said she would pay for the luxury bag right away.Arabella clenched her fists, feeling her nails dig into her palms. Her breath was heavy, her chest rising and falling with restrained anger. She could feel the stares of everyone around her, waiting to see if she would give in to this humiliation.Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Arabella spoke again, pressing down her frustration. “I’ll pay for it.” Her voice was firm, though slightly shaky.The crowd watching began to murmur. Some looked surprised, while others held back mocking smiles. Carla sighed and shook her head, as if Arabella’s decision was nothing but foolish.“Oh?” Celine raised an eyebrow, looking a bit disappointed. “Really? You’re going to pay ten thousand dollars? Hmm, i
