The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 21: A Gift for My Mother-in-Law
Celeste sat quietly in the passenger seat, letting the soft hum of the car engine fill the silence between them. Her mind was spinning with questions she didn’t dare ask. Three years of marriage, yet she was only now realizing how little she actually knew about her husband. It felt like she had been living a lie.“Take me home and return this rented car immediately!” Celeste’s voice was cold, reflecting the anger boiling inside her. She had no idea how many secrets Damien had been keeping from her.Damien remained calm, his hands steady on the steering wheel. “We’ll go home after we stop by somewhere first.”Celeste let out a frustrated sigh. “Again?” she groaned, still anxious after the shocking events at the restaurant earlier. But she chose to stay quiet and just watch where Damien was taking her this time.The car pulled up in front of a high-end boutique, its logo instantly recognizable. It was a luxury bag store, a favorite among socialites and the wives of big-shot businessmen.
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 22: Damien Harlow: Pawn or Threat?
Alina left immediately after Celeste and Damien arrived. She was clearly jealous after seeing the luxurious and expensive limited-edition bag that Celeste had given to her mother. Alina didn’t even care who bought the bag—whether it was Celeste or Damien. The tension in the Stratton family home was still thick. Eleanor didn’t hesitate to shoot sharp glares at Celeste. She felt somewhat relieved that her pride was saved by Celeste’s arrival. At least, for now, Alina and her socialite friends would stop bothering her. But Eleanor couldn’t shake her curiosity. "Where did you get all these fancy things?" Celeste had no intention of lying. She repeated what she had said before. "Damien bought them!" George, still in the room, couldn’t believe it. Without thinking, he voiced the concern that had been on everyone’s mind all this time. "Damien, are you wasting Celeste’s money again?" Celeste’s face turned red. She was beyond embarrassed. So everyone knew that Damien had been spending her

He hadn’t been able to sleep for nights, haunted by one shocking truth—Damien Harlow was the real boss.All this time, he had believed Victor Carlisle was the one in charge, the man who gave orders without question. But now, he realized Victor was just a pawn in a much bigger game. The thought of how close he had been to someone so powerful sent chills down his spine.Lawrence took a deep breath before calling Victor. The man needed to be updated.“Mr. Carlisle, I’ve carried out all your orders as instructed,” Lawrence said, keeping his voice steady despite his unease.Victor was silent for a moment before responding in a calm yet commanding tone. “Good. Make sure your people don’t screw up. I’m currently on a business trip, but I’ll be back in Viremontis soon.”That made Lawrence pause. Victor was coming to Viremontis? That could only mean one thing—something big was
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 24: The Mysterious Man in the Hat
The city streets were still relatively quiet as Celeste sat in the taxi, staring out the window with a restless look. She had a gut feeling she was being followed, but she wasn’t sure. Suddenly, the taxi came to a screeching halt. Two men in black jackets and full-face helmets forcefully blocked the car’s path.“What the hell?!” the driver shouted, his voice laced with fear.Celeste jolted as one of the men yanked the door open with brute force, shattering the window in the process.“Get out!” the man barked, reaching in to grab Celeste.“No! Help!” Celeste struggled, her eyes darting around frantically for any kind of assistance.A few cars behind, Damien sat in another taxi and witnessed everything. His body stiffened, eyes widening in shock as he saw the two men attacking Celeste.“Stop the car! Now!” he ordered the driver.“But sir—”“Just do it!” Damien snapped, his voice urgent. His heart pounded seeing his wife in danger.Celeste thrashed against her captors in the stalled taxi
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 25: Thief!
Eleanor took a deep breath in front of her bedroom mirror. The elegant light blue dress hugged her figure perfectly, paired with sparkling jewelry and an expensive handbag hanging from her arm. Everything looked perfect. But deep inside, she was restless.She stared at her reflection with doubt, then slowly started removing each piece of jewelry she was wearing. That’s when George, her husband, walked into the room. He looked at her with warmth in his eyes."Why are you taking them off? You look beautiful," George asked gently.Eleanor gave him a small smile and lowered her gaze. "I feel embarrassed. What if my friends find out all of this is fake? I already told Celeste to return these things, but she’s stubborn and left them in my room anyway."George stepped closer, his expression turning sad. "I’m sorry, Eleanor. If I hadn’t failed and gone bankrupt, you wouldn’t have to deal with this. I should’ve been able to provide the best for you."Eleanor looked at him with sincerity. "Don’
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 26: Who Owns the Diamond?
Eleanor’s hands ached from the rough grip of the security guards dragging her away. Humiliation and helplessness washed over her as she heard the sneers and whispers of people she once considered friends echoing in her ears."I never thought she’d stoop so low. Stealing? Seriously?!""She’s not just some gold-digger trying to get her hands on the Stratton family’s wealth—she’s a thief now, too!""If her mother-in-law, Margaret Stratton, finds out, she’ll be tossed onto the streets like a beggar. Haha..."Eleanor heard every word, but she had no chance to defend herself. She was dragged along until she was shoved into the restaurant manager’s office. One of the guards even pushed her roughly, making her stumble onto the floor."You!" Eleanor shouted angrily. "How dare you treat me like this?! You’ll pay for this!"Before she could get up, the woman who lost the diamond necklace—the m
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 27: Paying the Price for Your Actions
Two security guards immediately blocked his way, gripping his wheelchair tightly. But with barely any effort, Damien effortlessly knocked both men down using only the sheer strength of his arms. Celeste was stunned—despite being in a wheelchair, Damien was incredibly strong."You!" the manager shouted in fear. "Not only is your family a bunch of thieves, but you also dare to attack us? The police will be here soon to arrest you!" he threatened.But Damien ignored the threat. Instead, he grabbed the terrified manager and forced him to kneel before him. "Thief?" Damien glanced at the diamond necklace lying on the table. "That necklace was a gift from me! Why are you accusing my mother-in-law of stealing it?"Hearing this, the mayor's wife, who was also in the room, scoffed. "Wow... a poor man with a big mouth! Do you even know how much this necklace costs?" she sneered. "Like hell you could afford something like this!"Damien wasn’t fazed by her
The Supreme Power Behind a Wheelchair Chapter 28: The Mysterious Son-in-Law
Damien, Celeste, and Eleanor returned home in silence. The taxi they took pulled up slowly in front of the house, as if it understood the gloomy mood of its passengers. Celeste helped her mom out of the car while Damien stayed in his seat, his face unreadable.As soon as they stepped into the house, George appeared from the living room, looking worried. But his concern quickly turned into shock and anger when he saw Eleanor’s swollen face and the red mark on her cheek.“What happened?” George asked, his voice shaking. His eyes darted toward Damien with suspicion. “Why are you three coming home together? What happened to your mother-in-law? Did you cause trouble for her?”Damien lowered his head. “Dad, I’m sorry,” he said nervously.Celeste was still busy helping her mother, who looked weak. Eleanor grabbed her husband’s arm and whispered, “Stop, don’t make a scene. This has nothing to do with Damien…”But George wasn’t listening. His anger had alre

Chapter 55: Only a Punch Can Wake Him Up
"You don't have to—"Before Damien could finish his sentence, a loud voice cut him off.“No need to bother, ‘cause I came to see you myself!”Chaos erupted instantly. Some of the female staff screamed in fear as a group of big men in black suits barged in. Their steps were firm, exuding pure intimidation. Their sharp eyes scanned the room, ready to crush anyone who dared to stand in their way.In the middle of the group stood a man with an air of confidence—Adam Saxon. And right beside him was Adrian Stratton.Celeste clenched her jaw, trying to keep her emotions in check. This was the first time she saw Adam Saxon in person—the man whose name echoed in the international business world, the man who suddenly appeared to destroy her company. They had never even met before, and their businesses operated in different industries, in different countries. But the moment she saw him stepping into her office with a full security detail, she knew exactly who was behind this.Adrian. Her own bro
Chapter 54: The Loyal Ones Will Stay
Adam Saxon stood up from his couch, fists clenched. His eyes burned with rage as he glared at the two men in front of him. Alex and Dion—his best mercenaries—stood tall, fearless, and ready to walk away from him. Their expressions were firm, unwavering."What did you just say?" Adam growled, his voice echoing through the room. "You think you can just decide that? I won’t let you walk out that easily!"Alex met Adam’s glare with a sharp look of his own. "We came here to work, not to be your slaves. And we know who you really are. You’re a traitor. Five years ago, you betrayed your squad and led them to their deaths."Adam’s blood boiled. The veins in his neck bulged. "Is that the nonsense Damien's been feeding you?" he roared, his voice thick with fury.Dion smirked. "We didn’t need Damien to tell us the truth. We saw it ourselves, Adam—or should I call you Vincent? We just needed time to confirm everything. And now, we won’t fight under your command anymore."Adam’s anger flared even
Chapter 53: We Won’t Be Fooled
Right in front of them, a guy was casually leaning against the hood of his black Bugatti, taking a slow drag from his cigarette. His gaze was cold, unreadable.Damien Harlow.Just hearing that name was enough to send chills down their spines. The God of War. The man who once led countless battles and trained legendary soldiers. A man rumored to have died in his final battle. Yet here he was, standing before them, alive—more terrifying than the myths about him.Damien exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked at them for a moment before speaking. "I'll give you just one chance to explain," he said, his voice calm but sharp enough to cut through the air.One of the men, the older-looking one, swallowed hard before speaking with a shaky voice. "The last war changed everything… The special forces were disbanded in disgrace. We lost everything—even our livelihoods. We needed money to survive, to support our families. Then someone came along and offered us a job."Damien didn’t react. He just kep
Chapter 52: The God of War
The sky above the temple started turning red as the sun slowly set on the horizon. Damien stepped out of the temple, his face cold and unreadable. His eyes held back a restrained fury after receiving a phone call from one of his men at Stratton Corporation. What he heard made his blood boil."They just won’t stop messing with my wife. And now they’re resorting to dirty tricks?" Damien muttered as he started his car.With one hand already on the wheel, he gave a simple order to his special forces team. "Be ready anytime I need you. We might have to move tonight," he said firmly before leaving the temple grounds.His sleek black sports car roared as it sped down the road toward the city. He needed to see Celeste and figure out what the hell was going on at the company. But the moment he hit the city streets, his instincts screamed at him—something was off.A black car had been tailing him for a while, way too precise to be just a coinciden
Chapter 51: Special Forces
Damien drove through the quiet streets, rain drizzling on the windshield, creating a rhythmic sound that did little to calm his storming thoughts. After his secret meeting with Lawrence, he knew he couldn’t go home just yet. There was something else that needed to be handled first.He turned his car toward a secluded area outside the city. This wasn’t just any visit. He was on his way to meet them—the special forces that General Callum had prepared for him.His mind drifted to his last meeting with the general. Back then, they were in a classified military facility, a place where experiments were conducted to restore Damien’s lost abilities. General Callum was a cold-blooded military doctor, someone who never hesitated to make tough decisions.But that facility had been discovered by the enemy. The last time Damien saw it, the place had been surrounded and destroyed by elite government troops. He had no idea whether the general managed to
Chapter 50: My Goal is to Kill Damien Harlow
By the time Celeste arrived at the office, everything was already in chaos. Several staff members were gathered in the conference room, looking panicked, while the legal team was busy calling partner companies—both upstream and downstream—trying to figure out why they were suddenly cutting ties.If this continued, the newly established Stratton Enterprises, which had only been running for two days, would collapse again, and George Stratton's credibility as a leader would take another hit. Failing twice in a row? That would be humiliating.Celeste and George rushed into the room. Thomas, the head of the legal department, immediately approached them, his face grim.“We’ve tried convincing them to reconsider the contract termination,” Thomas said in frustration, handing a tablet to George. “But they refuse to cooperate with us. They also made it clear they won’t support us in the future. All the penalties for breaching the
Chapter 49: The Calm Before the Storm
It was a quiet afternoon. George and Celeste were at work, while Eleanor had gone out to meet her friends—other wives of wealthy businessmen in town. The house was almost completely silent, except for the ticking of the clock in Damien and Celeste’s bedroom.Damien sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Ever since Celeste asked for a divorce, they had been sleeping in separate beds, even though they still shared the same room.His eyes drifted to the small bedside table next to Celeste’s bed. The drawer was slightly open, tempting him to take a peek inside. Initially, he only wanted to tidy up the room, but his hand froze when he found something unexpected—a divorce document hidden inside.His heartbeat quickened. His fingers traced over the paper, following the names printed on it. Celeste was serious about this. If she insisted on leaving, Damien knew she would be in danger. She was an easy target for the vultures l
Chapter 48: The Hatred is His Own Doing
Crystal chandeliers hung grandly from the ceiling, casting a golden glow that added to the luxury of the evening party. Champagne glasses clinked in every toast, and laughter echoed along with the soft music playing in the background. George stood in the middle of the room, receiving congratulations from colleagues and business partners. Tonight was a celebration of his return to the business world after being inactive for so long, and everyone seemed eager to celebrate his success.Adrian watched the scene with a grim expression. His grip on his drink was so tight that his knuckles turned white. He couldn’t stand it any longer—he was about to leave.This party, the fake smiles of everyone around him, and—most painfully—Celeste. He spotted her right as he was about to walk out. His sister stood not too far away, wearing an elegant red gown that hugged her figure perfectly. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, shimmering under
Chapter 47: The Dragon Emerging from the Water
Damien lowered his head slightly, leaning closer to Celeste, and whispered, "I'll explain everything when we get home. But for now, we need to go in."Celeste wanted to argue, but she knew this wasn't the right time. There were still so many questions in her head, but the most important thing now was how they were going to handle tonight.Damien opened the car door and got out first, maneuvering his wheelchair with ease. With confidence, he rolled himself towards the entrance of the hotel, signaling the others to follow. Celeste finally stepped out, followed by Eleanor, who still looked confused. George hesitated, but after taking a deep breath, he finally got out too.As they walked in, they were greeted with warm welcomes. Familiar faces from the business world smiled at them, though some seemed confused by their presence. The waitstaff bowed respectfully, and soft music played in the background.Eleanor whispered to her husband, "George, is this really
