Claimed by the Ruthless CEO Bound by Blood
Rain poured heavily over the isolated mountain road. The sound of water splashing against metal mixed with the loud pounding of my heart.Julian stood over Caelan with the gun pressed against Caelan's forehead. Caelan was down on one knee, blood trickling from the wound on his temple down his sharp jawline. But even bleeding and cornered, Caelan's gray eyes showed zero fear. He stared up at his cousin with pure contempt.'Shoot me then, Julian,' Caelan growled, his voice steady. 'Because if you don't kill me right now, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth.''Caelan, shut up!' I screamed, fighting violently against the man holding my arms behind my back. Shoes slipping on the wet mud, I kicked backwards with all my strength, driving my high heel into my captor's shin.The man yelled in pain and loosened his grip for half a second.That was all I needed.I ripped my arm free, grabbed a sharp piece of broken glass from the shattered car window off the hood, and slashed it acros
Claimed by the Ruthless CEO Ashford
The shareholder meeting ended in a total victory. The board unanimously voted to confirm Caelan as permanent Chairman and CEO of Ashford Group, approving the merger with Vale Industries. By 3:00 PM, news of Richard's arrest was broadcasting on every global news channel. Ashford stock shot up to an all-time high.We left the headquarters building in high spirits. The weight that had crushed both of our families for over a decade was finally lifted.As our black SUV drove through the rain toward Ashford Mansion, I leaned my head against Caelan's shoulder in the back seat. He wrapped his arm around me, kissing the top of my head.'It's finally over,' I whispered.'Yes,' Caelan said softly. 'Vale Industries is safe, the debt is cleared, and Richard will spend the rest of his life in prison.'I looked up at him. 'What happens to our contract now?'Caelan looked into my eyes, his touch gentle against my waist. 'I don't care about the contract anymore, Neria. I want you to stay with me
Claimed by the Ruthless CEO The Ambush
Thursday morning arrived with gray clouds and heavy rain. The Ashford Group headquarters tower stood tall against the gloomy sky. Today was the annual general shareholders' meeting—the day Caelan's grandfather had set as the deadline for Caelan to prove total stability and control over the empire.We stepped out of the private elevator onto the top floor. Caelan wore a dark navy three-piece suit, looking every bit the powerful CEO. I walked beside him in a sleek black suit dress, holding a leather folder containing the original police reports and evidence.The boardroom doors opened. Inside sat thirty of the country's most powerful investors, board members, and family representatives. At the head of the massive conference table sat Richard Ashford, wearing a satisfied smile.Beside Richard sat several armed private guards—a clear sign that he expected trouble.'Ah, Caelan,' Richard said, rising from his chair with fake warm hospitality. 'You made it. We were just preparing to vote
Claimed by the Ruthless CEO Trapping the Mole
We returned to Ashford Mansion with the evidence locked securely inside Caelan's bulletproof briefcase. But as we stepped into the foyer, Caelan stopped me with a light touch on my arm.'Before we attack Richard publicly, we have to clean our own house,' he whispered.I looked around the empty foyer. 'The mole inside the mansion?''Yes,' Caelan said. 'Someone turned off the security cameras for eight minutes and put that threatening note on your bed. Until we catch them, Richard knows every move we make inside this house.''How are we going to find them?'Caelan leaned in close, a clever smirk touching his lips. 'We set a trap. And you are going to lay the bait.'Ten minutes later, I walked down to the kitchen where several staff members were preparing dinner. Mr. Collins was checking inventory lists near the pantry, while two younger maids were polishing silverware.I made sure my voice sounded anxious and loud enough to carry across the room. 'Mr. Collins?'The butler turned
Claimed by the Ruthless CEO The Hidden Ledger
An hour later, Caelan returned to the master suite carrying a heavy, dust-covered black leather binder. His face was pale, and his jaw was set tight.I stood up from the sofa immediately. 'What did the investigator bring?'Caelan placed the binder on the coffee table between us. 'The police completed a full search of your father's house and office vault this morning. They found this hidden behind a false panel in his desk.'I stared at the binder. 'What is it?''Your father's private personal ledger,' Caelan said softly. 'He kept duplicate records of every single transaction between Vale Industries and Ashford Group for fifteen years.'I sat down and opened the dusty cover. The handwriting was unmistakably my father's—neat, precise, and blue ink. Page after page listed financial transfers, patent registrations, and meeting notes.As I flipped through the pages, one specific section caught my attention. It was dated twelve years ago.'Look at this,' I said, pointing to a handwri
Claimed by the Ruthless CEO Secrets in the Ashes
By 4:00 AM, the fire was completely extinguished. The police had cordoned off the dock area, and Arthur was in stable condition at the hospital, recovering from smoke inhalation. Caelan had arranged private security guards at the hospital to protect Arthur and the other workers.We returned to Ashford Mansion in silence. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon, casting a soft pink glow over the manicured lawns. We both looked like survivors from a war zone—covered in soot, smelling of smoke, and exhausted to the bone.Mr. Collins met us at the door with clean towels and warm tea, his face pale with concern. 'Sir, Mrs. Ashford... thank God you are safe.''Prepare a bath in the master suite,' Caelan ordered quietly. 'And have the legal team assemble in my private office by 8:00 AM.'We walked upstairs together. The tension from the night was still hanging heavily between us. Inside the suite, I stood in the middle of the room, looking at my ruined dress in the mirror.'
