Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 21: A Little Change
{Naomi POV}My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears as I rushed for the door. Heat flushed over me, then turned cold, crawling under my skin. The way Enzo had looked at me with disgust and something deeper, his hand wrapped around my throat, his eyes piercing into mine, made a chill run down my spine.I reached for the handle, desperate to leave, but the door swung open before I could. Maya stood there. Her eyes widened the moment she saw me, then dropped to the lingerie clutched in my hand.My stomach knotted. Heat burned across my cheeks. Without a word, I shoved past her and hurried out.The hallway stretched in front of me, cold and quiet, but all I could hear was the thundering of my heartbeat. My robe slipped against my shoulder as I ran, I clutched it tighter, refusing to look back. I didn’t stop until I reached my room.I slammed the door shut, my back pressing hard against it. “What was I even thinking?” I muttered, heat creeping up my sleeves.My hand went to my
Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 20: Quivered
{Enzo POV}I stared at Naomi as she stood there, her eyes fixed on me like I had just killed her pet. What provoked me more wasn’t her glare, it was the fact that she had gotten out of her room. How the hell did she do that?“How did you get out of your room?” I asked, lowering my gaze to the paper in my hand. I had instructed the men to lock the door. My jaw clenched as the thought lingered.She didn’t answer. When I finally looked back at her, something was different. The broken, tear-stained look she wore earlier was gone.She stepped closer, her eyes piercing into mine with a boldness that wasn’t there before. “I…I thought of your offer, and I want to do it.”I scoffed, turning away, the disgust crawling through me sharp and bitter. “Leave. I’m not in the mood.”I dropped onto the bed, staring at the letter in my hand from the Vitale resort team.Brian was moving fast, thinking he could overshadow me, thinking he could bribe people to stay on his side. It was pissing me off. The o
Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 19: Broken Mind
{Naomi POV}The moment I stepped into the room, Enzo’s men closed the door and the lock clicked. I turned towards the bed and sank into it, my heart aching with pain as my mother’s words echoed in my head.A harsh breath left my lips, I buried my face in my palms. It was all my fault for not being there with her when she woke up, the guilt sank in making fresh tears roll down my eyes.Her voice kept replaying in my mind. The way she had sounded hurt and broken. My chest tightened until it felt like I couldn’t breathe.I pressed my lips together, trying to stop the sobs that threatened to escape. My knees curled up and I hugged them, rocking slowly as my tears spilled. The room felt small, as if the walls were closing in on me, trapping me. I wanted to run back to the hospital, to see her and tell her I was sorry, but here I was, locked in this room.My thoughts drifted to Enzo. His offer that night, that was only my option right now, if he can remove one million from my debt as he had
Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 18: Her Pain
{Enzo POV}I moved my hand against the steering wheel as I drove down the road. My grip tightened a little, my eyes fixed on the stretch ahead. I brushed my hair back with my hand, trying to shove away the sound of Naomi’s quiet sniffling.She had been at it since we left the hospital. At first, I ignored it, but the sound crawled under my skin. I resisted the urge to snap at her. If I did, it would make me look heartless, and though I didn’t care, I had no patience for pity looks from anyone.“Can you stop doing that? I’m trying to concentrate,” I finally said, my voice sharp.She froze, the sound cutting off instantly. I didn’t have to look at her to know she was glaring at me, her lips trembling, eyes full of unshed tears. I didn’t bother to meet her gaze. Whatever happened between her and her mother wasn’t my problem. It was hers, and she could choke on it for all I cared.By the time I pulled into the driveway of the mansion, I cut the engine and stepped out. The sun was already
Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 17: The Hate And The Pain
{Naomi POV}My heart hammered against my chest as I walked down the hallway to my mom’s ward. It had been days since I last saw her, even though Chloe had been checking on her on my behalf.The guilt of not being there pressed down on me with every step, knowing fully well how my mother would react. I’ve always known her to think the worst, and I prayed silently that she wouldn’t today.I brushed a loose strand of hair from my forehead, letting out a rasp breath to calm my nerves. My fingers shook as I reached for the doorknob, but before I touched it, a cold chill ran down my spine. My heart skipped, my stomach tightening with dread.I pushed the door open softly and forced myself to breathe. The sound of the small flat-panel TV filled the quiet space. My mom sat across from it, her shoulders hunched, her eyes glued to the screen.“Mom, how are you doing?” I asked, walking over with a smile I didn’t feel. I was glad to see her awake, but something about her silence made my chest tigh
Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo Chapter 16: The Suspect
{Enzo POV}The sound of my feet echoed on the marble tiled floor as I walked down the hallway. Naomi’s words replayed in my head, making me scoff. I wondered where she suddenly got the confidence to speak to me that way.Maybe I’d been too lenient with her. I shouldn’t have taken her to that party. If not because of what people would say, I would have left her at home. I didn’t want to give them the chance to doubt my marriage, or to whisper things I couldn’t control.I pushed open the door to my office and walked over to the desk. I had confirmed what I wanted to know, Brian having a close talk with Mr. Andrew at the party, one of my father’s enemies. Which only means Brian is back to being a suspect. I would have been able to get more of their conversation if Naomi hadn’t jumped into the pool.I shoved my hand into my hair, brushing it back with the weight of the thought. According to Mr. Lucky, it was better not to act fast until I was sure.My eyes drifted back to the laptop scree
