Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO Chapter 21- He must ensure her safety all the time
It was already eight in the morning when Eve woke up. Last night had been the longest night of her life.She had slept very well in his arms—which felt so unreal! Considering how on edge she'd been around him lately, it was quite bizarre. Nevertheless, at the very least, he didn’t take advantage of her, and she slept peacefully. After giving it some thought, she finally got up and headed to the bathroom to take a bath. She would be visiting her mother in the hospital this morning, and later, she planned to accompany Kelly. It was autumn, and winter was coming in a few weeks. The weather was starting to get colder. Once she finished bathing, she put on a beige long-sleeved turtleneck sweater dress that reached below her knees. The upper part of the dress was semi-loose, while from her waist down, it was well-fitted—perfectly emphasizing the curves of her body. She paired it with three-inch heeled brown ankle-length boots. She looked especially elegant and fashionable in her trends

Evie felt a sense of uneasiness as she and Alex arrived at the front door of her mother's room. She didn’t know how her mother would react to her explosive news. Would she be angry? Sad? Or perhaps even despise her? The uncertainty made her both anxious and worried. Noticing her restless expression, Alex gently pinched her hand, a silent reassurance that everything would be fine. Then, hand in hand, they stepped into the room. Inside, Evie’s brother, Perry, was peeling an apple for their mother, occasionally chatting with her. He was the first to notice their arrival. He immediately paused what he was doing and called out, "Sister! Mr. Harris!" Perry greeted them warmly. Ellie, who had been sitting on the bed with her back to them, turned to see her daughter. A gentle smile graced her face as she laid eyes on Evie. "Mom, Perry," Evie broke free from Alex’s hand and rushed to hug her mother. She was relieved to see her mother looking much better. The gauze that had been on her h

Hospital Corridor..Not long after Perry left to buy coffee, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Alex stepped out.Eve studied his expression carefully, trying to find any clue about his conversation with her mother. However, his face remained unreadable, as indifferent and composed as ever.She wondered what her mother had told him during the past twenty minutes."Done talking?" she asked casually.Alex hummed in agreement, offering no further details.Eve narrowed her eyes slightly. So secretive."What did she tell you?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.Alex was just about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. Without hesitation, he answered the call right in front of her.For the first few seconds, he listened in silence. But then, his expression stiffened.Eve noticed the sudden change in his demeanor."I’ll discuss the details later," he said in a clipped tone before en

A few moments after Alex's father departed, there was another knock outside."Come in," he uttered in a deep voice.It was Adam, his chief secretary, who entered with some news."Mr. Harris, Ms. Croft and old Mrs. Harris are here, waiting in the lounge. They want to speak with you. Shall I let them in?"Alex was silent for a moment. His grandma was really persistent in her plans. Maybe it was about time to tell her the big surprise."Let them in," he replied shortly.The lounge area was next to his grand office, and within minutes, he could already hear his grandmother’s imposing voice.Margaret entered the room in a dignified manner, but her face was full of displeasure. Over the years, though she had significantly aged, she still carried her regal and autocratic aura.Back in the day, this distinguished old lady had once held power over all of York State. Rumors had it that she was just as ruthless and cunning

"Is it that guy you were with last time?"Evie simply nodded at Kelly's question. Kelly was still unable to believe the unexpected news. The fluctuation on her face clearly described her astonishment."How did you end up marrying that stranger?""He forced me," she replied directly.Kelly's stupefied reaction immediately turned into displeasure."You were forced? Why?!" Her tone was a bit sharper this time.Evie knew how protective Kelly was toward her friends. She would go to any lengths to protect them, no matter the cost."I don't know," she replied with a long sigh.Then she added, "You probably wouldn't believe who I married."Kelly perked up right away at the mention of the man's identity."Who?""Alexander Harris." There, she dropped the bomb.Kelly was slack-jawed. Everyone knew who Alexander Harris was in York State! That name alone sent chills down their spines. And her f

The two gutsy women decided to head home after the farce they’d run into. Kelly was no longer in the mood to shop, and neither was Eve.Alex was already waiting for her in the parking lot, and after a long day of running around, she felt drained.Kelly was still cursing nonstop about the two nasty women they had encountered earlier, all the way to the parking lot. Her anger hadn’t calmed down yet.Not far from them, Eve already spotted Earl standing beside the eye-catching, luxurious car that belonged to his boss.“Who’s that handsome guy?” Kelly nudged her lightly as soon as she saw Earl.“He’s Earl—Alex’s executive assistant,” Eve replied simply.“Well, he doesn’t look like just an assistant to me.”Kelly gave her a knowing look. Honestly, when Eve first saw Earl, she had the same thought. He didn’t quite fit the image of a typical assistant. In fact, there was something about him that reminded her of Alex—composed, co

Over at the old manor…"Dad," Freya uttered when both she and Hailee arrived home. She was beaming with tears while throwing herself to her father like a spoiled brat."Oh dear, what’s wrong?"Caroline was the one who consoled her first."Mom, Dad, you have to avenge me," Freya ranted with a pitiful look."Why, what happened?"Edward’s scowl deepened. He knew that this youngest daughter of his was outrageous most of the time. As she had been pampered since childhood, she grew up into an arrogant young lady.But he wasn’t an unreasonable person who tolerated the wrongdoings of his daughter. He didn’t want her taking the wrong path—that’s why he always reprimanded her so she would realize her mistakes."Sister-in-law and I had been shopping in the afternoon and were offended by two wretched women. And one of them insulted me in front of many people. Wuu… that woman is so mean! Dad, you have to avenge me! I was disgraced by her in public," Freya fake-cried in front of her father.Edward’

The couple headed home straight after Alex picked up Eve from the shopping mall. They arrived around four-thirty in the afternoon. It was still early. Alex decided to finish some pending paperwork in his study while waiting for dinner, dragging Evie along so she could keep him company while he worked.It was Saturday, and technically, he didn’t need to go to the office on weekends, but he had long been accustomed to working 24/7. However, now that Eve was with him, his schedule had been restructured as he wanted to spend more time with his wife.But today, he had no choice but to visit the company to handle urgent business. On top of that, he had three important conference meetings scheduled in the afternoon. His workload had increased significantly as his conglomerate continued to expand.He was human, after all, and naturally, he got tired too. But whenever he stole glances at his beautiful wife, he felt recharged. They had only known each other for days, yet he already found himse

At noon, Butler Clark delivered their lunch. And guess what...? The CEO's office also had a big break room with a comfy bed, a cozy dining area, a spacious bathroom, and even a closet where Alex’s garments were neatly placed. She was dumbstruck to find such a place in a CEO’s office."Butler Clark, did Alex live here in the past? Why does he have so many things in this place?"She curiously asked the butler while they were busy arranging the food on the dining table. She insisted on helping him while waiting for Alex, who was still in a video conference call just outside in his office."Yes, young mistress. Though young master has many villas, he often stayed here or in his hotel because it is more convenient for him," Clark answered thoughtfully."That’s weird."Just as they finished setting the table, Alex walked in and proceeded to wash his hands in the sink."Young master, young mistress, please enjoy your meal," Butler Clark bowed before leaving the room."Clark brought too much

THE NEXT DAY...Eve couldn’t escape from her husband’s arrangements anymore. Since she was brought to the hospital yesterday, Alex hadn’t allowed her to return to work and insisted she rest at home. He even gave specific instructions to the housekeeper, especially regarding their daily meals. And today, he insisted she accompany him to the company—under the convenient title of his personal secretary. Clearly, he had found another way to keep her under his nose.Earl was driving them, while John—now assigned as Alex’s personal driver and bodyguard—followed closely behind with a few discreet bodyguards. Alex’s security was so tight, even a fly couldn’t slip through.At her request not to be seen arriving at the building’s entrance with him, Alex took her through the underground parking and into his private elevator. Only he and Earl had access to it. Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief.She was in the pantry office getting some water when Tracy suddenly appeared, eyeing her with mali

“She has mild gastritis, which is why she had a severe stomach ache caused by excessive intake of spicy food. Please be more careful with her diet. Her immunity isn’t very strong,” the doctor stated after conducting a brief check-up on Eve.“But she’s fine now and can be discharged after finishing her drip. I shall take my leave now, Mr. Harris,” the doctor respectfully bowed before leaving the room.Eve was leaning against the head of the bed. Her face, which had been very pale earlier, had now regained some color. The discomfort in her stomach had eased, though she still felt a bit weak. The unbearable pain had tortured her so much that she almost fainted on the way to the hospital. She had clutched Alex’s suit tightly throughout the journey, and fortunately, she endured it.Matthew and Kelly, who had followed them all the way, had also left after confirming that she was finally okay. It was their first day of internship—skipping work wasn’t a good idea.“How do you feel now?” Alex

During lunch break, Eve and Kelly met up and headed toward the company cafeteria to have their lunch. Actually, Alex told her to wait for him so they could eat outside, but she insisted on having lunch in the corporate cafeteria. Matthew also joined them, and the three occupied a three-seater table. Almost all the employees in the company ate in the cafeteria, making the whole place really crowded."Ladies, here comes your food. I also added your favorite dishes," Matthew said, arriving at their table with a large tray. Being a gentleman, he had volunteered to get the food for them."Ahh, finally! I can now eat. My head hurts from cracking codes all morning! I feel so hungry right now," Kelly grumbled, helping set the food on the table."Evie, I got your favorite mashed potatoes with cheese," Matthew said, handing her a small bowl."Wow, thanks!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining as she accepted the bowl. Mashed potatoes were truly her favorite."How's your work in the CEO's office?"

"Mr. Harris please spare me. I really didn't knew the reason behind Mr. Flemings withdrawal." The senior manager of Amber Holdings was kneeling infront of the CEO's desk. His look was terribly horrified because once his falsity will be exposed he's finished not just his career but also his entire life. Alex who was calmly sitting on his executive chair had an indifferent and icy look at the manager who was kneeling on the floor with a nervous look. "The information of our investors is strictly confidential and you, as the operation manager on that company clearly knew it's internal affairs. Do you take me as a fool?" Alex growled in a lower but chilly voice. The room was slowly turning into an ice cave. " M-Mr. Harris i really d-don't know! " The manager exclaimed nervously while stammering. Alex threw a stack of photos infront of him. It was a perfect shot from him being bribed by Jaxon's assistant and there was even a ban

SUMMER break was over. Eve's mother was finally discharged from the hospital to continue recuperating at home, and she would be starting her internship too. They finally got the heads-up from the university. Their internship would be in the biggest conglomerate in Summerville, which was none other than the Galaxy Empire Group.Today was the first day of her internship. She was clad in a royal blue corporate dress suit, looking smart and sexy. Her sharp and elegant demeanor was greatly emphasized by her outfit. She added delicate makeup to her exquisite face and just let her wavy hair hang down.When she came down, Alex was waiting for her in the living room. Noticing her arrival, he immediately stood up and went to her with a lingering stare. Her cheeks felt hot when she recalled the passionate night they had shared two days ago. It was so intense that her private part was still sore. After that night, she had been bedridden

Alex had to return to the company after bringing Eve back to Autumn Garden. An urgent meeting with the board of directors required his attention, and by the time he returned home, it was already eight in the evening.Upon his arrival, he immediately inquired about Eve’s whereabouts. Butler Clark informed him that she had already had dinner. With that assurance, Alex had a quick meal himself before heading upstairs.When he entered their bedroom, he found it empty. Taking off his coat, he instinctively walked toward the balcony.There she was.She was lying quietly on the long, inclined padded couch near the glass railing, hugging a small pillow while gazing up at the starry night sky. The soft glow of the moon cast a gentle light on her delicate features, making her look even more ethereal.Noticing his presence, she quickly adjusted her position and sat upright."Why are you still outside? It’s getting cold," he said, picking up a woven blanket and draping it over her shoulders."I’m

"I DON'T agree with your marriage to that woman!"Edward's growl echoed in the large study. This kind of meeting was very typical for them. It would be truly boring if there wasn't some clash during their encounters. Father and son were truly fighting each other to the death!But Alex did not take him seriously. He calmly sat on the couch, unfazed, with a blank expression on his handsome face. Despite their heated argument, he was very nonchalant and maintained his indifferent demeanor."You are not in a position to tell me what to do," Alex responded in a cold tone with a straight face.His father became even more furious at his statement. Edward almost spat out his blood in so much anger."I am your father!" Edward growled again."You've only donated some of your sperm, and now you're calling yourself my father? Do you even deserve it?" Alex mocked him. Though his voice was low, there was a quiet storm brewing beneath his sharp words. His body was emanating an endless coldness at th

"I'M REALLY curious how an uncouth woman like you successfully seduced a shrewd man like Alex."A while after their family dinner, Alex was summoned by his father to the study room, while Matthew's family had already left. Only Eve and Alex remained, as per the old lady's request for them to stay a little longer.Eve had been accompanying the elderly after lunch, but she excused herself for a moment and headed to the bathroom. She didn’t expect to be obstructed by someone in the hallway. Margaret had already introduced this woman to her earlier, and the old lady told her that Hailee and her parents were good friends of their family, which was why she wasn’t treated as an outsider in the house. She also didn’t hide the truth that they had chosen Hailee to be betrothed to Alex if not for the fact that he was already married to Eve.Maybe this was the reason why Eve loathed her so much. Ever since she set foot inside the house, Hailee's gaze toward her had been full of malice and hatred.
