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 7
The silence stretched. The reporters were frozen, their microphones hovering in mid-air. The man in the wheelchair was an anomaly. A soldier. A cripple. A ghost.
Kiana found her voice first. It was shaky, but the malice was still there. She pointed a manicured finger at Baldwin. "Who the hell are you? Elianna, you're supposed to marry Julian! Now you're hooking up with a crippled soldier?"
The word "crippled" hung in the air. It was a calculated insult, meant to demean both Baldwin and Elianna. It was meant to paint her as a woman who preyed on the weak.
A ripple of unease went through the crowd. Some looked disgusted by Kiana's cruelty. Others looked intrigued by the drama.
Baldwin's expression didn't change. He simply turned his chair a fraction more, positioning himself directly between Kiana and Elianna. His voice was quiet, but it carried the weight of a judge's gavel.
"First, watch your mouth, Ms. Solis. Publicly slandering a serving officer of the United States Army in front of this many witnesses is an exceptionally poor decision. One I suggest you reconsider."
Kiana's face paled. She hadn't expected him to fight back. She had expected him to be embarrassed, to slink away.
"Second," Baldwin continued, his tone even and measured, "you are mistaken. She doesn't have to marry anyone. Because she already has a fiancé."
He paused. The entire terminal seemed to hold its breath. The cameras zoomed in on his face, capturing every micro-expression.
"Me."
The word dropped like a bomb. The terminal erupted. The reporters shouted over each other, their voices a cacophony of disbelief.
"Delta Force?" a reporter near the front gasped, recognizing the unit patch on his uniform. "Holy shit."
Kiana looked like she had been slapped again. Harder. A Delta Force commander was a far cry from a "crippled soldier." He was elite. He was connected. He was dangerous.
Elianna stood behind him, her mind racing. She hadn't expected him to reveal his identity so publicly. It wasn't part of the plan. It was a massive risk.
Kiana scrambled for control. "Fiancé? That's ridiculous! She has a contract with the Cromwells! You're being played, soldier. She's a liar and a cheat!"
She was screaming now, her composure completely gone. "She's sleeping with both of you! She's a gold-digger!"
The reporters seized on the new narrative. The cameras swung back to Elianna, hungry for more dirt.
"Commander Armstrong, did you know about the Cromwell arrangement?"
"Ms. Baker, how many fiancés do you have?"
The questions were a barrage. Kiana's lips curled into a smug smile. She had turned the tide. She had made Elianna the villain again.
Baldwin ignored the shouting. He turned his chair slightly and looked up at Elianna. His blue eyes were steady, reassuring. He held out his hand. It was a large, calloused hand. A soldier's hand.
Elianna looked at it for a split second. It was a choice. Take his hand and step into the unknown, or stand alone and be torn apart.
She reached out and placed her hand in his. His fingers closed around hers, warm and strong. The grip was firm, grounding. It was a silent promise. A shield.
Baldwin squeezed her hand once, then turned back to face the mob. His jaw was set. His eyes were hard. He was no longer the calm observer. He was the man in charge.

Genevieve woke up choking on her own blood, a fatal gash tearing through her abdomen. The memories of a primitive world crashed into her mind—she had transmigrated into the body of a sadistic beastman Mistress.
But the five powerful beastmen "mates" standing over her hadn't come to her rescue. They had come to watch their tormentor die.
"We should just leave her," Kameron sneered coldly. "The scavengers will clean up the mess."
Gilberto spat in disgust, while Angelo, a silver-scaled snake-man, trembled in pure terror at the sight of her. The original owner had whipped them, humiliated them, and driven another mate to suicide. Now, they were letting her bleed out in the mud, their eyes filled with undisguised loathing and satisfaction.
She was a top-tier apocalyptic survival expert, yet here she was, paying the ultimate price for a stranger's monstrous sins. It was a bitter, unacceptable irony to die helplessly in the dirt while her supposed protectors waited for her corpse to rot.
She refused to accept this ending.
Forcing a chaotic surge of energy through their shared Biological Link, she brought all five men to their knees in agonizing pain, commanding them to carry her back. In the dark cave, without a single scream, she plunged her bare hands into a fire and brutally cauterized her own gaping wound with searing ash. As the beastmen stared in horrified awe at the unbreakable soul now occupying the tyrant's body, Genevieve wiped the blood from her face and began to rewrite her fate.

I was an intern nurse working exhausting shifts, yet my mother constantly forced me into blind dates with wealthy, arrogant men to secure our family's social standing.
During a terrifying hospital lockdown, an assassin disguised as a doctor held a scalpel to my throat. I was almost killed, but a high-ranking military colonel threw his own body down a flight of concrete stairs to shield me.
I survived with cuts and bruises, but when I went home, my mother didn't care about my near-death experience. She was only furious that I had rushed out on my blind date with Preston, a rich financial analyst.
She forced me to meet him to apologize. When Preston grabbed my arm, bruised me, and mocked my attack as a pathetic lie, my mother still took his side.
"Men get angry," she told me coldly. "It's your job not to provoke them. You will beg for his forgiveness, or you are no longer welcome in this house."
I had narrowly escaped an assassin, yet my own family was willing to feed me to a monster just for a fat paycheck and neighborhood gossip.
My heart went completely dead.
So, when the intimidating Colonel appeared, offering me maximum military protection through a sudden marriage, I didn't hesitate.
I walked back into my parents' house and calmly slapped a crisp marriage certificate onto the coffee table.
"I won't be apologizing to Preston. I got married today."
