Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 18 - Love Of His Life
They had a lovely breakfast, but Isabella could feel that something was off, even if he assured her it wasn’t.She knew that he was worried about the plane incident and his brother, and probably his business that he neglected the last few days, but somehow, she sensed that there was something more, something else that he was hiding, keeping her in the dark.‘Perhaps he regrets the night we spent together.’Her heart twisted at the mere thought, she swallowed her saliva and gazed at him as they sat in the limo on their way to hospital.Watching him so lost in his thoughts, she took the opportunity of him glancing off the window to study his virile and imposing features again. She did not know how other people saw him, but she found the man to be very appealing. She could drown in the shadowy blue pool of his eyes every day, she could play with his dark messy hair forever, or she could even melt into his vigorous arms.‘Last night, he was a freaking mouthwatering beast, my skin is burn
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 19 - Stories Of The Past
Edmund was shocked to the core. Not even once it crossed his mind that his father could be behind Regina’s departure. He never mentioned that he disliked her. She was not from the upper class, but she came from a good family, she went to Harvard and graduated top of her class.James Stark always had a soft spot for strong women and Regina seemed to have won a place in his heart, he used to call her Edmund’s ‘asset’, something simply did not add up.‘Would my father have liked Isabella? She might have cried an unreasonable amount of time, but as sure as hell she confronted me the way only a champion would.’In fact, she was the first and probably last person that had the audacity to do it, so his father would have approved of her, he was certain.But to return to the current situation, his eyes searched for answers only Regina could provide, his father was dead and a dead man could not spill secrets.“Please believe that I loved you. I still love you. Please believe that it broke my he

The images from earlier flashed before Isabella’s eyes, and breathing normally became out of the question as she remembered that woman with her arms wrapped around Edmund. That memory acted like a dagger stabbing her heart multiple times.Moreover, after being stabbed, the foolish organ was trampled on and left to bleed. That was how dampen her spirit was, that was how much pain the scene that unfolded before her eyes inflicted on her.“I don’t know why she’s here again, but she destroyed him. She ruined him. It took him years to recover, and he turned into a cold, bitter, emotionless person, a stone. My uncle would have been proud.” Moira started to speak again with undeniable resentment in her voice.‘I might have opened a wound, she will not finish until she gets everything out of her system.’As for Isabella, that was undeniably a troubling indication of how deep his love for that woman was, an affection that was probably still present in his heart, a feeling so intense would have
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 21 - Mixed Feelings
Edmund received what he had craved for in the past years, Regina back into his life. Not only did she return, she also declared that she never stopped loving him, yet he found it grueling to draw the picture of what his heart truly desired.‘Might be the shock, but I am fucking surprised at myself, at my reaction. Or, to be honest, at my lack of reaction.’If what she stated about his father was real, then she did not fail him, he was the one that failed her. If what she attested was genuine, her sufferings from the past years might have matched or even exceeded his torments. But hearing all those words coming from her mouth did not sway him as much as they would have swayed him in the past. In fact, he sent her home with his cousin hours ago.Moira was reluctant to leave with Regina as they never got along well, but she conceded and he guessed that she did it as a favor to Isabella. Or perhaps she concluded that he would need some time for himself, his cousin had always been a kind-

Isabella was staring at the intelligent, stunning and sporadically tender man, her husband, reflecting if that was what destiny had in store for her. A few days ago, she was just Isabella... Isabella Duarte.A waitress who lived in a rental one-room apartment in Madrid. Perhaps a bit of a loner, as she had absolutely no dear friend or family, yet she was independent and perfectly satisfied with how life was going at that particular time.Even if most girls her age went from party to party and took everything for granted, even if she had to work for every single thing in her life, she was content that way.And now... Now she found challenging to even breathe normally while a whole new identity was handed to her, someone who was not her, someone who would be in the position to shower in money if that was her ambition, who would attend galas and host business receptions, who would have a car at her disposal with a personal driver.‘For God’s sake, someone who will have a helicopter and

Edmund took a few moments to venerate the splendid woman in front of him, she was gorgeous with her legs spread out for him, her exquisite pussy in the view.‘This is an image I want to see every day.’ The thought crossed his mind.The unfortunate set of circumstances, such as the location and the fact that she was only half naked made him grunt, he wanted to take in every inch of her alluring body, but he had to settle with her bare legs and her pussy.Hot lust was shining in her bewitching eyes that casted a spell on him from the first moment they touched him, he slowly hovered his hands on her tights. ‘I fucking love how her entire being screams desire!’Her figure shivered the instant he thrusted a finger inside her pussy, she was soaking wet, prepared and keen for him. ‘I should stop teasing her and as sure as hell I should cease the torture upon my own body!’“Edmundddd!” She dug her nails in his neck reaching for a bundle of hair.Her sweet moans were undoing him in every fuc

Trigger Warning: Part of the story in this chapter contains some abuse information that might upset some readers.Isabella’s heart was beating erratically as they edged near Noah’s room and Edmund opened the door, inviting her in.As they stepped inside, her hand flew to her mouth in shock. The image in front of her shattered her to the core, she felt a cold chill traveling down her spine.She didn’t know what her heart was expecting, but not precisely what she found, a man lying in bed, with bandages covering most of his body, both his legs in casts. He was surrounded by beeping monitors.‘He looks even worse than my sister, the poor man! Poor Edmund!’“Is this Luisa’s sister?” He inquired in a low voice, his glance directed towards his brother for confirmation, until returning to her, his eyes turning glossy. “Are you Isabella?”“Yes.”“Come closer. Let me take a look at you.” Noah tried to raise a trembling hand, but not succeeding, he helplessly surrendered. Isabella drew closer a

Regina was angry, the first encounter with Edmund after all those years did not go as she envisioned. Sure, she imagined shock and maybe crying, even accusations and criticism, yet she had never expected him to be so... distant, unimpressed, detached.He sent her away with his obnoxious cousin like she was of no importance to him, needless to say that Moira hated her from the start, she never understood why she had left her father for Edmund, or how her feelings changed from one day to another. Moira insisted on making her opinion very clear from the beginning of her relationship with her cousin.She did not say a word to Regina on their way to the mansion and when they arrived, she ordered one of the maids to prepare a room for her. After that, she simply vanished and has been away all day long.‘Like I would need a room, I will be sleeping in Edmund’s chamber!’ She was certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that after he would get home, they would sort things out. He was never abl
