Ruined By The Ceo
Ruby’s world shatters the night she walks in on her boyfriend, Ethan, having sex with her best friend. Heartbroken and angry, she gets drunk at a bar and ends up sleeping with a handsome stranger, even leaving him $500 the next morning like she paid for the night.
She thinks she’ll never see him again.
Until she gets a job at Blackwood Holdings and walks into the CEO’s office — only to come face to face with the same man. Zane Blackwood.
What Ruby doesn’t know is that after their night together, Zane’s assistant discovered she is the girl he has been searching for. Something connected to her family destroyed Zane’s own family years ago, and he has been waiting for the chance to make her pay.
Now that he has her, Zane forces her to work under him as his personal assistant. He uses his power, his body, and intense sex to break her down piece by piece. What started as revenge slowly turns into obsession… and then into something neither of them expected.
Ruby tries to fight her growing feelings, but her body and heart keep betraying her. When she finally uncovers the truth about why Zane has been punishing her, she is completely shattered and tries to leave.
But Zane refuses to let her go. In a raw and desperate moment, he takes her one last time — and Ruby realizes she can no longer walk away. She is already in love with the man who once wanted to ruin her.

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The PartyRuby’s POVI ran out of his office faster than I expected. My legs felt weak, and my heart was still racing. I couldn’t believe it. The man I had messed around with that night wasn’t just some random guy. He was Zane Blackwood. A very powerful man. My boss.Gosh, I was doomed.I walked back to my seat, still shaking from the way he had touched me. What a shameless man. My body still felt the ghost of his hands, and I hated how easily he had affected me.Sarah must have noticed the strange look on my face because she quickly walked over to my desk.“So… how was it?” she asked with a curious smile.Should I tell her? Should I say that I accidentally slept with our CEO because I thought he was a male model?No. I couldn’t. I was still new here. I had a reputation to protect. I didn’t want anyone thinking I slept my way into this job.Sarah waved her hand in front of my face. “Are you okay? You zoned out,” she said, looking a little worried.She took both of my hands and gave me a soft lo

Chapter: Chapter Six: The Game Just BeganZane’s POVI looked at the silly girl standing in front of me, pretending she had no idea who I was. Acting like nothing had happened between us.“That’s not how you sounded when I was fucking you,” I said again, watching her carefully.She froze.“I… don’t know what you’re talking about, sir,” she tried to deny it.I gave her a mocking smile. “Really? I think I still have the video of you screaming until you fainted.”Her eyes widened. “You… you recorded us?”I nodded slowly. Of course I was lying. I wasn’t that kind of bastard. I just wanted her to stop pretending.I stood up and walked toward her. She immediately started backing away.“You even had the nerve to leave five hundred dollars on my nightstand,” I said, closing the distance until I had her pinned against the wall, my arms caging her in.“I… I thought you were just some male model,” she stammered.She wasn’t completely wrong. She had been drunk and clearly going through something that night.“And were my skills in bed rea

Chapter: Chapter Five: Meeting Him AgainRuby’s POVThe next day, I started my first official day at work. I woke up earlier than usual, my stomach tight with a mix of excitement and nerves. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I had something to look forward to. I got dressed carefully, checked myself in the mirror more times than necessary, and left the house with a small smile on my face.When I arrived at Blackwood Holdings, I made sure I was on time. Honestly, no one in that building could have been more excited than I was. This job was my fresh start. After everything.I was shown to my desk by one of the staff members. It was neat, simple, and positioned near a large window that overlooked part of the city. My first task was straightforward: make copies of some documents for the CEO. Apparently, he had been busy the day before, which was why his assistant had handled my interview instead.I didn’t really understand why the CEO couldn’t just ask his assistant to do the copying, but who was I to complain? I w

Chapter: Chapter Four: The InterviewRuby’s POVOne week later.I sat on my bed with my laptop open, refreshing my email over and over again. My heart was beating faster than it should. Ever since that night at the bar, my life had felt like it was hanging by a thread. I needed something good to happen. Anything.Then I saw it.The subject line made my breath catch.Congratulations – You Have Been Selected for the Position at Blackwood Holdings.I stared at the screen for a few seconds, almost afraid it would disappear if I blinked. My hands started shaking as I opened the email and read it carefully. I had been hired. Not just for any random job, but for a position at one of the biggest companies in the city.Blackwood Holdings.A soft laugh left my lips before I could stop it. For the first time in days, I felt something other than pain. After everything with Ethan… after walking in on him and Lisa… after that reckless night with a stranger I still couldn’t stop thinking about… maybe things were finally starting to tur

Chapter: Chapter Three: The BreakupRuby’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with an ache all over my body. That man had been wild. If I hadn’t blacked out last night, I honestly don’t think he would have stopped.I turned my head and looked at him. He was still asleep, looking almost unreal. Handsome wasn’t the right word. He was too beautiful for it.I carefully got out of bed so I wouldn’t wake him and quietly got dressed. When I checked my phone, I saw twenty missed calls from Ethan.What did that bastard want now?I pulled five hundred dollars from my purse and left it on the nightstand.“You performed well,” I whispered to his sleeping form, then walked out of the bedroom.As I moved through the house—no, the mansion, I was stunned. How could a male model afford a place like this? Maybe because he looked the way he did. People would pay anything for him.I needed to get out of here.I hurried toward the exit and almost crashed into a young man coming the other way.“Sorry,” I muttered, then kept going without lookin
