The air of the entire room was filled with the faint metallic scent of blood, along with the endless darkness. The only sound could be heard was the shallow breathing of the three women.

Eve shifted slightly in her position as her arms and legs were already so numb. The cold bite of the heavy metal around her wrists made her wince. The chains rattled heavily, a cruel reminder of their confinement. Her skin burned from the shallow cuts she had sustained in the explosion. They weren’t fatal, but they stung with every movement.

Beside her, Celest sat eerily still, her face pale under the dim light. Her usual gentle aura was now laced with quiet resilience. She had been through worse in her life, and this was only a fraction of it.

What made her furious was the thought of the person who dared to ruin her children’s meaningful day. That person had some nerve.

Margaret, the formidable matriarch of the Harris family, was slumped against the stone wall. Her once-imposing presence was weakened

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 92- Another Strike

    Alex’s gun remained trained on Garry’s head, his finger resting on the trigger, itching to blow his head off. His expression was ice-cold now, the sharp lines of his jaw tense with murderous intent.Jaxon stood at his side, his gun also aimed at Garry. His gaze was piercing and fierce. Caroline’s eyes were wide, her breathing ragged as she processed Garry’s chilling confession.Suddenly, Alex’s earpiece crackled to life.“Sir!” the commander’s sharp voice echoed in his ear. “We’re surrounded! Armed assassins approaching from all sides!”Alex’s grip tightened on his gun. He didn't expect Garry would still be able to keep his assassins after leaving their organization.Garry leaned casually against the wall, his smile curling at the edges. “Did you really think I’m not prepared for this?”A faint beeping sound echoed through the room. Alex’s eyes narrowed. The sound was unmistakable. Explosives. He had to admit Garry’s tactics were impressive this time.The steel doors at the far end

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 91- The Strike

    Alex stood at the edge of the black-tinted, bulletproof car not far from the cabin, his expression cold as ever. The night was quiet—too quiet actually. Only the faint sound of cicadas filled the air, underscoring the haunting silence of Summerville's western woods.John adjusted his earpiece, his gaze scanning the dark treetops ahead. "Perimeter secured. Mr. Croft’s men are in position. Ten outside in total."Alex’s gaze sharpened like blade. "Weapons?""Heavily armed," Daniel said, loading his gun with expertise. "They’re expecting us."Alex’s lips curled into a dark smirk. "Good."Jaxon stood nearby, his jaw tight. His gun rested in his gloved hand— ready for the fierce battle later. He hadn’t spoken much since the revelation. There would be a right time for it. His eyes flicked toward Alex."Are you sure about this?"Alex’s gaze shot toward him, cold and sharp. "Do you have a better idea?"Jaxon’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing. His hand curled tighter around the grip of his

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 90- Bloodlines Revealed

    Alex leaned over his wide desk, his gaze sharp as steel. John and Daniel stood nearby, their postures tense as they reviewed the blueprint of the underground facility. The cabin above the facility had been hidden in plain sight for years-- an unassuming structure in the western part of Summerville. To the villagers, it was nothing but an old, well-maintained cabin, cared for by a quiet couple who kept to themselves.But John’s investigation had uncovered the truth. Beneath that cabin was Gary’s execution ground, where lives were bought and erased with ruthless efficiency. Twelve men guarded it: seven positioned covertly outside, five inside. All heavily armed, trained killers.Alex’s fists made a cracking sound as John outlined the security details."The plan is simple. In and out. We move fast, clean, and we leave no one breathing."Samuel’s men and Edward’s military connections were already positioned, waiting for the signal. The moment the clock struck nightfall, hell would descend

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 88- A short visit to Garry's villa

    The moment Alex clenched Eve’s necklace in his fist, the air shifted dangerously. He looked like a powerful King standing at the edge of war.Without hesitation, he turned on his heel. “We’re going to Garry’s place.”The words were calm, but the sheer weight behind them sent a ripple of unease through the men behind him. Earl stepped forward immediately, his brows knitting together.“Mr. Harris, that’s not a good idea.” His voice was firm but edged with caution. “Garry's estate is crawling with assassins. He’s waiting for you to make a move. This could be a trap.”Alex didn’t slow down. He strode toward his car with smooth and unbothered, the silver necklace still clutched between his fingers.Daniel exhaled sharply. “Earl’s right. If we charge in now, we’ll be fighting on his terms. He’s expecting you.”A soft chuckle escaped Alex’s lips. Amusement flashed through his gaze as he finally halted, his sharp features bathed in the golden sunlight. Slowly, he pulled out his silver pistol,

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 87: Jaxon's real identity

    Galaxy Empire Tower...Despite the luxurious surroundings of Alex's office, it can never stop the suffocating weight pressing against the atmosphere. The air was filled with tension, a storm of impending chaos waiting to be unleashed.Alex sat in his chair, his movements sharp and decisive. His tailored shirt clung to his broad frame, concealing the deep wounds that marred his back. The sting of torn flesh should have slowed him down, but it didn't in the slightest. He moved with the same dominating presence, standing mighty like a sovereign king who remained unshaken no matter how many times he bled.Earl and Daniel followed inside, and the three of them wasted no time. Across the room, Daniel was already stationed on the sofa, his eyes glued to the multiple screens displaying streams of data. A few minutes passed, and Daniel's head snapped toward Alex.“We finally have the location,” Daniel reported, fingers flying across the keyboard. His gaze flickered between the monitor and Alex
