{Naomi POV}

Enzo’s hand loosened around my wrist as we kept walking further up the stairs, but it didn’t ease my nerves one bit. My skin still tingled where he’d been holding me, and not in a good way. I looked over at him, biting the inside of my cheek.

Why do I feel like this is going to be my life now? Him dragging me around in front of guests like some trophy wife, pretending this is all normal.

I shifted my hand, trying to pull it free from his grip, but the moment I moved, his fingers tightened again like steel wrapped in skin. His head snapped toward me, eyes cold and sharp. “What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten our terms and conditions so soon?”

My heart jumped. I swallowed hard, heat rushing up my neck like a steam train about to blow. “Terms and conditions?” I asked quietly, my eyes flicking around as we stepped into a quieter hallway away from all the whispers and stares. “If this is really just a marriage contract, then we don’t have to hold hands when no one’s wa

  • Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo    Chapter 39: A Deeper Cut

    {Naomi POV}My heart thudded in my chest as I saw my mother on the floor, crying. Chloe, who stood beside me, shifted slightly."I think we came at the wrong time, Naomi," she whispered. "It's not too late for us to leave. We can come another day."She was right, but my heart was already breaking into pieces. My mom had always told me I wouldn’t understand the level of her pain. I thought I did, especially the day my father died. My heart had felt like it was being ripped out of my chest. But compared to her reaction that day, mine was nothing."Ernesto, please come back. I can’t live without you," my mother mumbled through her sobs, brushing her trembling fingers against the picture frame. "I’ve tried to be strong, but that’s not who I am."I stood frozen, unable to move or breathe properly. Chloe must’ve sensed how I felt because she didn’t try to stop me anymore. She just lowered her gaze, staying silent. Tears filled my eyes, and I sniffled quietly, wiping them away with the back

    {Naomi POV}"I think I should go," Chloe mumbled softly, giving me a pitiful look before walking out of the room.Once she was gone, silence filled the space. The only sound left was the sharp click of Maya’s heels against the marble floor as she stepped closer. Her eyes roamed over me with pure disgust, and the longer she looked, the smaller I felt.I wrapped my arm over my chest, feeling the weakness crawling through me. So many things had been happening lately, and after what I saw last night, I didn’t even know what to think anymore."I thought you wanted to leave," Maya said with a smug smile, her voice dripping with mockery. "What made you change your mind? Have you not stolen enough already?"I looked away from her piercing gaze, my throat tight. "What do you want?" I asked softly, giving her the vibe that I wasn't interested to get in conversation with her."What I want?" She clicked her tongue and looked at me from head to toe like I was something beneath her shoe. "I want yo

  • Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo    Chapter 37: A Locked Cage

    {Naomi POV}My eyes snapped open to an unfamiliar ceiling. The pounding in my head was sharp and unrelenting, forcing a small wince from my lips. I pushed myself up slowly, my hand instinctively going to my temple to soothe the throbbing ache as my gaze darted around, searching for where I was.And then it hit me. The moment I recognized the heavy curtains, the faint scent of whiskey, and the expensive furniture, my stomach twisted, I was in Enzo’s room. Worse… I was on his bed.My heart thudded so hard it almost hurt. I shifted quickly, desperate to get off the bed, but froze when I saw him.He was sitting on the couch by the window, legs spread lazily apart, a glass of amber liquid in his hand. His eyes, cold and unreadable, were already fixed on me.A chill ran down my spine as the memory of last night slammed into me, the gunshots, the blood, the two men collapsing to the floor like rag dolls. I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing I could unsee it. But it was too late. That image was b

  • Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo    Chapter 36: Holding You

    {Enzo POV}My eyes widened when I looked up, and I was shocked to see Naomi. The moment our eyes met, I could see the tears glistening in hers. She was shaking, trembling like someone who had just seen a ghost.“Take this,” I said quickly, handing Mateo the gun. “Dispose of the bodies.”Mateo took the gun without a word, and I rushed out after her. She was already running, fast and desperate, her bare feet hitting the cold marble floor of the hallway. It was as if she was running away from death itself.“Naomi!” I called out, but she didn’t stop.“Don’t come after me, please!” she shouted back, her voice cracking with fear. The sound twisted something deep inside me. How could she have sneaked out of her room and followed me here… to this?If it had been a maid who saw this, I would’ve made sure she joined the men on the floor. But Naomi… Naomi was different. She was not someone I could silence that easily.“You don’t run away from me,” I growled, my voice low and sharp. “Don’t you da

  • Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo    Chapter 35: Bloodshut

    {Naomi POV} I sat in the room for what felt like hours, with nothing but the sound of Enzo’s threat hanging in the air. The way he had left told me something urgent had happened, but I wouldn’t have cared if he hadn’t left me alone in this room. I closed my eyes and laid back on the bed, but they snapped open almost immediately when the image of my mom lying in that hospital bed crept into my thoughts. I sighed and stared at the ceiling, my mind drifting back to Enzo, to that cold, deadly stare of his that I couldn’t quite read. The words he said to me earlier replayed in my head, the part where he asked why I had stopped trying to seduce him. I shifted uncomfortably on the bed, rolling onto my side as if that would help push the thoughts away. But before I could silence my racing mind, the soft beep of the door broke through the quiet, followed by heavy footsteps. My breath hitched as panic shot through me. Someone was coming. Was it someone sent to kill me? When I turned and s

  • Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo    Chapter 34

    {Enzo POV}The cool night breeze brushed against my face as I turned back to stare at the city. The night sky gave everything a different look from what I usually saw during the day.I huffed, watching the streets below. So peaceful and lively, yet beneath all that beauty was a city soaked in blood, filled with men hiding behind smiles or stiff suits, guns tucked beneath their jackets, ready to shoot without hesitation.The thrashing of clothes from behind me broke my thoughts, and I wished it didn’t. It took every bit of willpower I had not to turn around, pin Naomi to that bed, and fuck her until she screamed my name. Seeing her bare skin, smooth and flawless, and those perfect lips… it made my cock twitch in my pants.I turned toward her direction. She was lying on the bed now, twisting and turning like something was itching her. The sound of her movements kept getting into my head, feeding the desire I was trying so damn hard to control."Will you stop doing that?" I barked, walki
