Flash Marriage To My Disabled Commander Novel Cover

Flash Marriage To My Disabled Commander

Six years ago, my adoptive family framed me for commercial espionage, stripped me of my identity, and threw me out. Now, I finally returned to the Solis estate as a commercial pilot to take back what was mine. But the first thing my adoptive mother did was threaten me with that forged evidence again. She demanded I take my sister Kiana's place in a marriage contract with a disabled man, simply because Kiana refused to marry him. When I refused, Kiana ambushed me at the airport with a mob of reporters. She cried for the cameras, publicly accusing me of causing our father's and brother's deaths. She painted me as a ruthless monster who bankrupted the company and ruined the family. The crowd instantly turned on me, screaming that I was a murderer and a gold-digger. Kiana wanted to completely destroy my reputation so I would have no choice but to submit to her arrangement. I looked at her fake tears, feeling a cold, absolute fury. How dare she use the tragic deaths of the only family members who actually loved me as a prop for her sick show? They had ruined my life once, and now they wanted to bury me alive. I didn't hesitate. I slapped her hard across the face right in front of the flashing cameras. "That was for my father and brother." Then, my real fiancé, a decorated Delta Force commander, rolled through the crowd in his wheelchair. He tossed a classified Pentagon file to the reporters, completely clearing my name and exposing Kiana's lies. I married him to start my revenge, but as I stepped into his heavily secured penthouse that night, I realized my powerful new husband had been preparing for me for a very long time.

Chapter 5

The terminal went dead silent. The only sound was the hum of the fluorescent lights and the distant rumble of jet engines. Every camera, every microphone, every eye was fixed on Elianna.

Kiana saw her opening. She pressed a hand to her chest, her lower lip trembling. A single, perfectly timed tear rolled down her cheek. "Please," she whispered to the cameras, "don't ask her about that. Our family has suffered enough."

It was a masterful performance. It confirmed every rumor without saying a word. It painted Elianna as the villain and Kiana as the grieving victim.

Kiana reached out and grabbed Elianna's hand. Her grip was surprisingly strong, her nails digging into Elianna's skin. "Sister, just tell them you didn't mean it. Tell them you were young and foolish. Tell them you were used."

It was a trap. A verbal snare. If Elianna said yes, she admitted guilt. If she said no, she looked like an unrepentant monster.

Elianna snatched her hand back. "Don't touch me."

Another reporter, a man with a greedy look in his eye, stepped forward. "Ms. Baker, is it true that the secrets you leaked caused your adoptive father's company to go bankrupt? Is it true that his business partner committed suicide because of you?"

The question was a slap in the face. It was a lie, a twisted version of the truth that Solis PR had spun six years ago. But the worst was yet to come.

Kiana let out a shaky breath. "And the car accident... Daddy... my brother..." She trailed off, letting the implication hang in the air. She was connecting the espionage case to the deaths. She was telling the world that Elianna was a murderer.

The crowd's mood shifted. The curiosity turned to disgust. The disgust turned to anger.

"Monster!" someone shouted.

"How could she show her face here?" another voice hissed.

Elianna looked at Kiana. She saw the triumph gleaming in her eyes. She saw the satisfaction of a knife well-placed. Using the deaths of her father and brother-using the people Elianna loved more than life itself-as a prop for her little show.

Something inside Elianna snapped. It wasn't a hot rage. It was a cold, absolute stillness. The world narrowed down to Kiana's smug face.

Elianna didn't think. She didn't hesitate. Her arm moved on its own.

The crack of the slap echoed through the terminal. It was sharp, violent, and final.

Time stopped. The reporters froze. The cameras kept flashing, capturing the moment in high definition. Kiana stood frozen, her head turned to the side, a bright red handprint already blooming on her cheek.

Elianna's palm stung. The sensation grounded her. She looked at Kiana, who was slowly raising a hand to her face, her eyes wide with shock and genuine pain.

"That," Elianna said, her voice vibrating with barely contained fury, "was for my father."

Kiana's mouth fell open. A sob escaped her lips. The tears were real now, born of pain and humiliation. The reporters were shouting, the flashes were blinding, but Elianna only had eyes for the woman in front of her.

She raised her hand again. High. Palm open.

Kiana saw it. She let out a piercing scream, cowering away.

For seven years, I was Alpha Zane’s Chosen Mate, suppressing my warrior instincts to be the docile, supportive partner he demanded. On our seventh anniversary, while I waited by a candlelit table, I accidentally overheard his mind-link with another woman. "Seven years is a habit, my dear, not love. She's docile, she'll understand." He told Seraphina, his new political ally, laughing as he dismissed my entire existence. I didn't scream or cry.

Kaitlyn Barton POV: After three years building my family's hotel empire abroad, I came home to New York, expecting a warm embrace from my childhood fiancé, Edwin. Instead, he greeted me with a warning. He told me to be gentle with his new girlfriend, Kacy, painting me as a villain before I even knew her name. At my own welcome-home party, he let her stage a dramatic fall and then publicly blamed me for it, his eyes burning with a hatred I'd never seen. He cradled her in his arms as if she were a fragile doll I had broken. "Happy now, Kaitlyn?" he snarled, shattering twenty years of our shared history in front of everyone we knew. In his eyes, I was no longer his love, but a monster he needed to protect his new flame from. As he stormed out, my phone buzzed. It was a text from Everett Rowe, the man who had quietly loved me for five years. "If you are truly ready, I will marry you. Right now. Just say the word." My fingers moved on their own. "Yes," I typed. "I'll marry you." The moment I stepped back onto New York soil, a city I had once shared completely with Edwin, he greeted me not with a hug, but with a warning about his new girlfriend, painting me as the villain before I even knew her name.

My heart, which had swelled with anticipation, now froze into a solid block of ice.

I worked three double shifts at the garage just to buy a velvet-boxed cake for my wealthy girlfriend, Arleen. But when I pushed open the VIP room door, I saw her lover kissing her bare leg.
