When she finished, I simply stared at her.

The fury burning inside me had very little to do with the insults directed at me.

She could call me a replacement if she wanted. She could call me desperate. She could believe whatever she wished about my reasons for marrying Lucien.

What I couldn't accept was the way she had taken the circumstances of Lucien's accident, his disability, and everything he had suffered to reach this point and twisted them into something contemptible.

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 68: Plagiarism

    HELENEWhen she finished, I simply stared at her.The fury burning inside me had very little to do with the insults directed at me.She could call me a replacement if she wanted. She could call me desperate. She could believe whatever she wished about my reasons for marrying Lucien.What I couldn't accept was the way she had taken the circumstances of Lucien's accident, his disability, and everything he had suffered to reach this point and twisted them into something contemptible.She had reduced him to nothing more than a man in a wheelchair who had become undesirable to the woman he was supposed to marry."You know," I said slowly, "I couldn't understand why Lucien didn't seem particularly pleased to see you, despite the fact that you arrived here with Rafe and Dominic."Her expression twisted."But now I understand.""What is that supposed to mean?" she snapped, her face reddening with anger. "You might not know this, but Dominic is my cousin. That means I've known Lucien and the o

    HELENEUpon returning to the living room, Lucien immediately looked at me with concern."Is everything all right?" he asked softly."Something came up," I replied. "I need to go to the studio."He nodded without hesitation. "I'll have Clark take you.""No need. I can manage."With that, I turned toward the others."I'm sorry I have to leave so abruptly, but something unexpected came up and needs my immediate attention. I'm really glad I got to meet you all. Please enjoy the rest of the afternoon."Rafe and Dominic responded graciously, but before I could leave, Alina spoke."Can I hitch a ride with you?"The request immediately drew the attention of the three men, their expressions changing almost imperceptibly."It just occurred to me that I have something to deal with as well," she added flatly.Dominic was the first to react."There's no need to bother her. If you have somewhere to be, you can take my car."He held out his keys.So this was the owner of the flashy silver car, I tho

    HELENE"Alina Carter," the last woman said simply before turning her head away from me.For a moment, the atmosphere grew awkward, and the expressions of the three men around us immediately fell.Not wanting the situation to become any more uncomfortable for everyone, I simply smiled and gave her a small nod before taking the empty seat beside Lucien.The others gradually settled back down as well.Almost immediately, Dominic, who had already recovered his usual carefree demeanor, leaned forward with a grin."I really thought our paths would never cross again, Lena, yet here we are."He spread his hands dramatically."What are the odds?"I smiled.Considering how far Country F was from Solstice City, along with the sheer size of the city itself, the odds were probably quite low.I kept that thought to myself."It's quite a coincidence," I said instead.Before Dominic could respond, Lucien spoke up."So," he said slowly, "how exactly did the two of you meet?"Somehow, I caught a hint o

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 65: Acquaintances

    HELENEI was in my room putting together a draft itinerary for my upcoming business trip to Country H when the sound of a car engine drifting up from outside caught my attention.Lucien's friends must have arrived.Setting my pen aside, I wandered over to the window and peeked down into the driveway.As expected, an unfamiliar car had pulled up in front of the villa.It was sleek, finished in metallic silver, and eye-catching enough that even someone like me, who knew next to nothing about cars, could tell at a glance that it carried a price tag to match.It practically seemed to proclaim, I'm ridiculously expensive.The corners of my lips twitched.What an unapologetic display of wealth.That only made me even more curious about Lucien's friends.Based on everything I'd seen since meeting Lucien, he'd always struck me as someone who preferred keeping a low profile. Even the car he usually rode in was elegant without being ostentatious.Whoever had driven this one here, on the other h

  • Marrying The Disabled Billionaire Heir    Chapter 64: Insecure

    LUCIENIt wasn't that I was being pessimistic. I was simply acknowledging the reality of our situation.Ever since our marriage began, I had always been the one taking the initiative while Helene responded in her own quiet way. We'd only just begun making genuine progress, and now she was about to leave the country. It wasn't unreasonable to worry that the momentum we'd worked so hard to build might gradually fade with the distance between us.Suppressing the restlessness quietly stirring inside me, I asked as evenly as I could,"Where are you going?""Country H," she replied."Aunt Eleanor mentioned there's a charming little town there. I want to see it for myself and decide whether it'd be suitable for the magazine's next feature."At least she hadn't brushed the question aside.The thought offered me a small measure of comfort. The fact that she was willing to explain her plans instead of giving me a vague answer was proof that, at the very least, I'd become someone she wanted to k

    HELENETwo hours later, my grandparents were visibly growing tired.Noticing the occasional yawn Grandpa tried to suppress and the way Grandma had begun rubbing her eyes absentmindedly, Lucien, perceptive as ever, politely announced that he'd be taking his leave. After seeing my grandparents back to their room, I walked him outside.Side by side, we made our way toward the car parked just beyond the low white fence.For a while, neither of us spoke.Yet the silence between us felt neither awkward nor forced.If anything, it had gradually become something both familiar and comfortable.By the time we reached the gate, Clark had already stepped out of the driver's seat and was waiting a respectful distance away.I stopped walking and turned to Lucien."Thank you," I said softly. "For today."He looked at me without speaking.Over the past few days, I'd done everything I could to reassure my grandparents that I was happy after getting married.They always smiled and said they believed m

    HELENEThe answer wasn't difficult to arrive at.It was for her son.Of course it was.Was I disappointed?A little.Surprised? No.If anything, the realization made me feel lighter.Knowing where someone's kindness came from made it easier to accept without reading too much into it.My silence must

    HELENESitting across from Lucien once again, I felt far more at ease than I had yesterday.Neither of us was particularly interested in exchanging meaningless pleasantries, so when he pushed a document across the table, I picked it up without a word.“Go through the terms,” he said. “See if there’

    LUCIEN For the first time in my life, I felt as though I wasn’t intelligent enough. From everything Helene had said so far, it was obvious she found the idea of replacing Noemie and marrying me just as ridiculous as I did. She had even clearly foreseen the consequences it could bring—especially fo
