I Married a Disabled Billionaire to Save My Family, But What Happened on Our Wedding Night Changed Everything

The Fall

I landed on top of him, my face burning with embarrassment. The air around us felt thick, charged with an unexpected energy that filled the silence.

“Are you okay?” I quickly checked, scrambling to my feet, my heart racing.

He nodded, but his expression was intense, his eyes boring into mine as if he were gauging my every reaction. I hesitated, then reached down to help him up.

As I adjusted his position, my hands brushed against his thighs, and a warmth radiated that contradicted everything I had known about his paralysis. My breath caught in my throat.

“Arnav, are you—” I started to ask, but he simply locked his gaze on me, a slight smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

“You think you know everything, don’t you?”

His words hung in the air, a challenge and a taunt combined. Confusion washed over me. What secrets was he hiding behind that stoic facade? Why did his presence feel so alive, so vibrant, when the world painted him as a helpless figure?

I took a step back, my mind racing. What did I truly know about him? The stories, the rumors? Were they all lies?

Unveiling the Past

The next morning, I woke to the sun streaming through the windows, but my thoughts were still tangled in last night’s revelation. I was drawn to explore more of Arnav’s space, feeling a strange curiosity tugging at my heart.

I wandered into his room and there it was—the old photo album sitting on his bedside table, dust-covered but inviting. My fingers trembled as I opened it, revealing a slice of his life before the accident.

Each page turned revealed a vibrant Arnav, full of laughter and life. I paused at one photograph that caught my breath: a younger Arnav standing beside a woman who looked strikingly like me, her smile radiant and familiar.

“Who is she?”

My heart raced, a sinking feeling settling in my stomach. The resemblance was uncanny. Could there be a connection I hadn’t yet grasped? My thoughts raced through a million possibilities, stitching together a narrative that felt both compelling and chilling.

Just as I began to process the weight of this discovery, the door creaked open. My heart skipped. Arnav stood there, his expression unreadable.

“What are you doing?”

I quickly slammed the album shut, a jolt of panic surging through me. I needed to hide my discovery, to shield my thoughts from his penetrating gaze.
