"Is it that guy you were with last time?"

Evie simply nodded at Kelly's question. Kelly was still unable to believe the unexpected news. The fluctuation on her face clearly described her astonishment.

"How did you end up marrying that stranger?"

"He forced me," she replied directly.

Kelly's stupefied reaction immediately turned into displeasure.

"You were forced? Why?!" Her tone was a bit sharper this time.

Evie knew how protective Kelly was toward her friends. She would go to any lengths to protect them, no matter the cost.

"I don't know," she replied with a long sigh.

Then she added, "You probably wouldn't believe who I married."

Kelly perked up right away at the mention of the man's identity.

"Who?"

"Alexander Harris." There, she dropped the bomb.

Kelly was slack-jawed. Everyone knew who Alexander Harris was in York State! That name alone sent chills down their spines. And her f

    Celest’s eyes fluttered open, the soft glow of morning light seeping through the tall, arched windows. The faint scent of roses drifted through the cool air as the curtains swayed gently in the breeze.Her head throbbed as she took in her surroundings. She was in a European-style bedroom with high ceilings, gold-trimmed moldings, and a grand crystal chandelier hanging above.The bed under her was draped in white silk sheets, smooth and cool against her skin. Her gaze swept over the antique furnishings— ornate chairs, a big and elegant vanity, and a glass table with a single vase of fresh roses.The elegance was almost too perfect to be real.Where was she?Celest sat up, her breath shallow as her mind struggled to piece together how she got here. The last thing she remembered was… chaos. The explosion, endless gunfire, and Jaxon's bleeding shoulder.

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 93: The Masked Man

    The forest was alive with chaos after the severe battle from the cabin. Gunfire ripped through the cold night air. Shadows moved swiftly among the trees, nearly invisible beneath the cover of darkness.Alex’s eyes glinted as he cocked his gun. His grip on Garry’s collar tightened until the man’s breath came in strained gasps. Blood oozed out from Garry’s leg, but the sick smile on his face remained in place.“Cover them!”Alex’s voice rang sharply as he pulled Garry by the collar and shoved him toward a nearby tree.Jaxon, clutching his bleeding shoulder, pulled Celest behind him, shielding her from the gunfire. Daniel fired relentlessly toward the incoming assassins—his expression cold and deadly.John knelt next to Eve, checking her if she's already conscious, while his gun fired with deadly precision toward the enemies. Alex had

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 92- Another Strike

    Alex’s gun remained trained on Garry’s head, his finger resting on the trigger, itching to blow his head off. His expression was ice-cold now, the sharp lines of his jaw tense with murderous intent.Jaxon stood at his side, his gun also aimed at Garry. His gaze was piercing and fierce. Caroline’s eyes were wide, her breathing ragged as she processed Garry’s chilling confession.Suddenly, Alex’s earpiece crackled to life.“Sir!” the commander’s sharp voice echoed in his ear. “We’re surrounded! Armed assassins approaching from all sides!”Alex’s grip tightened on his gun. He didn't expect Garry would still be able to keep his assassins after leaving their organization.Garry leaned casually against the wall, his smile curling at the edges. “Did you really think I’m not prepared for this?”A faint beeping sound echoed through the room. Alex’s eyes narrowed. The sound was unmistakable. Explosives. He had to admit Garry’s tactics were impressive this time.The steel doors at the far end

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 91- The Strike

    Alex stood at the edge of the black-tinted, bulletproof car not far from the cabin, his expression cold as ever. The night was quiet—too quiet actually. Only the faint sound of cicadas filled the air, underscoring the haunting silence of Summerville's western woods.John adjusted his earpiece, his gaze scanning the dark treetops ahead. "Perimeter secured. Mr. Croft’s men are in position. Ten outside in total."Alex’s gaze sharpened like blade. "Weapons?""Heavily armed," Daniel said, loading his gun with expertise. "They’re expecting us."Alex’s lips curled into a dark smirk. "Good."Jaxon stood nearby, his jaw tight. His gun rested in his gloved hand— ready for the fierce battle later. He hadn’t spoken much since the revelation. There would be a right time for it. His eyes flicked toward Alex."Are you sure about this?"Alex’s gaze shot toward him, cold and sharp. "Do you have a better idea?"Jaxon’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing. His hand curled tighter around the grip of his

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 90- Bloodlines Revealed

    Alex leaned over his wide desk, his gaze sharp as steel. John and Daniel stood nearby, their postures tense as they reviewed the blueprint of the underground facility. The cabin above the facility had been hidden in plain sight for years-- an unassuming structure in the western part of Summerville. To the villagers, it was nothing but an old, well-maintained cabin, cared for by a quiet couple who kept to themselves.But John’s investigation had uncovered the truth. Beneath that cabin was Gary’s execution ground, where lives were bought and erased with ruthless efficiency. Twelve men guarded it: seven positioned covertly outside, five inside. All heavily armed, trained killers.Alex’s fists made a cracking sound as John outlined the security details."The plan is simple. In and out. We move fast, clean, and we leave no one breathing."Samuel’s men and Edward’s military connections were already positioned, waiting for the signal. The moment the clock struck nightfall, hell would descend

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 89- The Captor

    The air of the entire room was filled with the faint metallic scent of blood, along with the endless darkness. The only sound could be heard was the shallow breathing of the three women.Eve shifted slightly in her position as her arms and legs were already so numb. The cold bite of the heavy metal around her wrists made her wince. The chains rattled heavily, a cruel reminder of their confinement. Her skin burned from the shallow cuts she had sustained in the explosion. They weren’t fatal, but they stung with every movement.Beside her, Celest sat eerily still, her face pale under the dim light. Her usual gentle aura was now laced with quiet resilience. She had been through worse in her life, and this was only a fraction of it.What made her furious was the thought of the person who dared to ruin her children’s meaningful day. That person had some nerve.Margaret, the formidable matriarch of the Harris family, was slumped against the stone wall. Her once-imposing presence was weakened
