AFTER dinner, Celest invited them to have tea in the living room. Everyone followed suit.

Sitting elegantly on the high-end couch, Celest carefully filled their teacups. Her expression was warm, yet a visible seriousness lingered beneath it.

Alex took a seat on the long couch opposite Celest. His posture was relaxed, but his mind has always been alert and sharp. He was already sensing something. Eve sat beside him, silent yet quietly observing the unusual atmosphere in the room. She could feel the tension in the way Alex held her hand.

Earl, on the other hand, sat on another long couch across from Alex and Celest, in a semi-confused state. He silently wondered why Celest had included him in this family gathering when he was just an outsider. But he still followed along as it was a request from a woman he deeply respected.

The room was quiet for a long moment before Celest finally spoke.

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 63- Caroline's threat against Alex

    Galaxy Empire Tower...Caroline entered Alex's office without waiting for permission, her heels clicking heavily against the floor. She didn’t waver when Adam tried to stop her; after all, she was used to getting what she wanted. And as Edward Harris' wife, no one dared to stand in her way.The door to Alex’s office closed with a quiet thud behind her, sealing off any chance of retreat.Alex didn’t even look up from the papers on his desk. He was treating her as some insignificant person, more like an uninvited guest."You know, Alex, it’s incredibly rude to ignore family."Caroline’s voice was smooth, but it was laced with venom. She walked over to the chair in front of his desk and sat down without waiting for invitation.Without sparing her a glance, Alex replied in a flat tone, "You were never a part of the family." That was an insult, plain and direct.Caroline didn’t waver. She maintained her proud expression. "Well, I won’t force you to acknowledge me either. But I bet you cer

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 62- Samuel's confession

    The restaurant Samuel chose was an upscale, intimate spot tucked away from the city’s bustling streets. It wasn’t extravagant, but it exuded quiet elegance. The kind of place where conversations weren’t meant to be rushed. Ellie sat across from him, her fingers lightly grazing the stem of her water glass. She had agreed to this lunch, yet as she looked at the man sitting before her, she wondered if she had made a mistake. She shouldn't have accepted his invitation in the first place, as it would only make things more complicated between them again. No matter how composed and resolute she was, when it came to Samuel, she faltered, and her emotions couldn't be kept in place. Samuel, ever composed, studied her with quiet intent before speaking. “It’s been a long time since we last sat together like this.” Ellie let out a soft breath, tilting her head slightly. “It feels like a lifetime, rather.” The waiter arrived to take their orders, breaking the tension for a brief moment. Ellie c

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 61- Samuel visited Ellie on her shop

    MANDY had vanished.Two days after Alex had her locked up, she was mysteriously bailed out. No one knew who had the power or audacity to pull such a move. His subordinates scoured Summerville for any trace of her, but it was as if she had evaporated into thin air.Meanwhile, in his grand office, Alex leaned back in his chair, his fingers playing the pen as he listened to Earl’s report.“Still no sign of her, sir. It’s like she disappeared off the face of the earth.”Alex’s lips curled into a slow, dangerous smile."Then we’ll just have to dig deeper,” he said.Because if Mandy thought she could run, she was about to learn the hard way—no one escaped from the shadow of Alexander Harris.Not for long.Alex didn’t believe in ghosts, but Mandy’s disappearance left a bitter taste in his mouth. She wasn’t just a loose end. She was clearly a threat.And threats had to be eliminated.___While Alex tightened his grip on Summerville, Hailee was still seething with hatred toward Eve about the h

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 60- A disastrous night

    Almost immediately, a strange heat spread through Hailee’s veins. The voices around her blurred, and an unbearable sensation crawled in her skin. Her breathing grew heavy, her pupils dilated, and a flush of unnatural heat spread across her body. A foreign hunger consumed her, growing more uncontrollable by the second.She took a step forward but stumbled, throwing herself into Jaxon’s arms. The overwhelming heat subsided slightly as she landed against his sturdy, warm chest—but her body craved more. Her mind spun with hallucinations, completely disoriented. Desperation gripped her as she clung to Jaxon, seeking relief from the unbearable sensation.Mandy stiffened, her entire body going rigid. How had the plan she had meticulously orchestrated spiraled into chaos? Worse, how had it backfired onto her own daughter? This can’t be happening!Meanwhile, Jaxon’s expression darkened with each passing second as Hailee fussed over him. Her hands roamed his chest, her face pressing against him

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 59- Hailee consumed their own scheme

    The orchestra struck the first notes of a slow waltz, and couples began making their way to the dance floor, gowns swirling and shoes gliding across the shimmering lights.From the start of the evening, Alex never left Everette’s side. His presence was steady, quiet but constant. His attention fixed solely on her. He made sure she was comfortable, that her glass stayed full, that no one lingered too close. For those who knew him—or thought they did—it was a strange sight. Alexander Harris, known for being cold and untouchable, was now a man quietly devoted to his wife.Ever since the incident at the hospital, security had doubled around them. He made sure nothing can get close to his wife, not even a fly. His men tonight blended into the crowd, dressed like guests, but their eyes tracked every movement. Too many people in this room had secrets in their smiles.But Alex already knew what tonight was about.Let them play. Besides, he was always five steps ahead of them.___"Are you enj

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 58- The reunion of nemesis

    The ballroom was bright and beautiful, full of soft music, quiet laughter, and the clink of glasses. Everything looked perfect on the surface, but there was a tension in the air—subtle, silent, and hard to ignore.And then something changed.Heads slowly turned as Edward Harris walked in with Caroline on his arm. They looked polished, like a couple out of a magazine. Caroline leaned into him a little too perfectly, like she knew she was being watched. Some people smiled politely. Others barely hid their curiosity. A few gave tight-lipped smiles that didn’t reach their eyes.Celest saw them from across the room. Her hand closed gently around her silver clutch, but her expression didn’t change. There was a time when this moment would’ve shaken her. A time when just seeing them would have left her breathless, drowning in old pain.But not anymore.Celest stayed still, calm and graceful.Caroline wasn’t a threat now. Not anymore. She was just someone from a past Celest had already moved o

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 57- The banquet

    Samuel Croft had always been a powerful man in Cameron City. People respected him, feared him, and watched his every move. But Summerville wasn’t the same. Here, power came with old names and silent rivalries. People smiled to your face while planning your downfall behind your back. Still, Samuel wasn’t the kind of man to step in quietly. Tonight, he made his presence known—with a grand banquet at the Galaxy Hotel, owned by his son-in-law, Alexander Harris.The ballroom was breathtaking. Crystal chandeliers sparkled above and bathed the crowd with warm, golden light. Soft music filled the space—violins and piano blending into the hum of conversation. Waiters moved through the room with trays of wine and bite-sized food. The city’s most important people were there: politicians, business tycoons, celebrities, and family dynasties.Alexander Harris stood among them like a dignified king in his black tuxedo. He looked calm, confident, and eye-catching. Every step he to

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 56- Hailee's award-winning drama

    The newcomers were a little stunned, their eyes darting around the tense atmosphere. Hailee quickly shifted her expression into a pitiful one, pretending to be the victim of bullying. She let out a dramatic gasp and clutched the spot where she was supposedly scalded, her eyes watering as she winced exaggeratedly."Ah! My chest… it burns. Elder sister, how could you do this?" Hailee whimpered, wearing a sorrowful expression.The nurse immediately examined her burn and gave a brief, professional judgment. "It's just mild redness. No serious burn, but I’ll apply some ointment just in case. You should still consult a doctor, Miss, to avoid complications."Hailee's expression faltered slightly after being exposed.Eve looked at the overly dramatic Hailee with indifference. The water she poured wasn't even hot—of course it wouldn’t cause a serious burn. This scheming woman actually believed Eve would be swayed or intimidated by such childish ploys. How foolish.Ellie and Celest walked past
