Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 62:

Jayden gestured with his finger, prompting Vinny to move behind him. “I understand why you did what you did, Miss Foster,” Jayden began. “One would have to be either a fool or a martyr to willingly marry a cripple like me. So, I do understand why you ran away.”

Vinny was taken aback by Jayden’s words. Was he hallucinating? Jayden wasn’t instructing him to punish this woman by cutting off her hands or feet. Instead, he expressed empathy and understanding.

It appeared that his once cold and ruthless boss had softened since getting married.

Meanwhile, Joanna was equally shocked. She never expected Jayden to react this way. “Do you… Do you really mean it? Are you going to let me go?”

“Of course. I just need you to tell me how you managed to escape on our wedding day despite the heavy surveillance dispatched to the venue,” Jayden replied calmly.

Joanna paled, contemplating Jayden’s condition. After a moment of silence, she trembled and spoke, “Someone did help me escape, but I don’t know who they are. We communicated online, and they also helped me hide and evade my pursuers. Then, they disappeared without a trace, and I couldn’t contact them anymore. I’m telling the truth, I promise. Please, you have to believe me.”

Jayden tapped his finger on the wheelchair’s armrest, showing no emotion. He found Joanna’s explanation suspicious. “You don’t have to prove your claims, but you know what will happen if we find out you’re lying,” Vinny interjected sternly.

Joanna shrank back in fear, realizing the consequences of her words. Jayden ordered her to be gagged again before leaving the storage room, leaving Joanna uncertain of whether he believed her or not.

Vinny sneered at Joanna. “Looks like this small room will be your home for now. What a pity. You almost became the hostess of the whole villa.”

“Why would I want to be a cripple’s wife?” Joanna retorted, her face twisted in disdain. “I bet there’s something wrong with his current wife. I really feel sorry for her. She will enjoy a sexless life forever. Ha!”

Ignoring her taunts, Vinny picked up the rag from before and stuffed it back inside her mouth. “Well then, have a good rest.”

Joanna tried to scream and struggle, but to no avail. If she had known that she would be captured, she would have fled abroad as soon as she escaped on her wedding day. Now that things had turned out like this, she had no way of knowing what kind of future was waiting for her.noveldrama

Vinny checked the ropes around her wrists and ankles, only leaving once he was satisfied that she would not be able to escape. “Everything has been taken care of, Mr. Owen.”

Jayden nodded and led the way back to the main villa. “Be vigilant. I don’t want Elyse to know that another woman is in my place, much less my former fiancée.”

“Please rest assured, I will personally keep an eye on Joanna and make sure she doesn’t catch your wife’s notice.” A moment passed, and Vinny asked, “Do you believe that woman, Mr. Owen? Getting aid from her accomplice through online correspondence doesn’t sound very convincing to me.”

“I think there is some truth to her words, but none of that matters now. She is bound to contact that person again. She will be detained for a few days and then released. Have your men tail her and see where she goes.”

Vinny’s face lit up in understanding. “I see. Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Instead of returning with Jayden, Vinny rounded a corner and slipped through the back door.

When Jayden reached the living room, he found Elyse tuning her violin. “What’s this? Are you going to treat us to one of your performances?”

Elyse turned to look at him. “Well, if I pass tomorrow’s competition, I would get the chance to be on the tour. If I make it to the end, I might even be the concertmaster.”

Driscoll, who was standing to the side, happily clapped his hands. “Congratulations! You’re a step closer to your dreams.”
