Cali stood on the balcony, the freezing wind whipping her silk slip against her skin, but she didn’t feel the cold.

All she felt was the jagged, burning betrayal of the man standing behind her.

"Marry you?" she whispered, her voice a low, grumpy rasp that carried over the sound of the city traffic sixty stories below.

"You think you can kidnap my past, hold my father hostage in a gilded villa, and then offer me a wedding ring as a ransom note?"

Devi didn’t move. He stood in the shadows of the d

  • My Ruthless Ceo   Chapter TWENTY FOUR

    The road to Palermo was a jagged ribbon of asphalt carved into the limestone cliffs, the Tyrrhenian Sea churning below like a pot of black ink. Cali sat in the passenger seat of the armored SUV, her midnight-black suit crisp, her grumpy face illuminated by the rhythmic glow of the dashboard.Beside her, Devi drove with a ruthless, one-handed grip on the wheel. He didn’t look at the road his obsessive gaze flickered constantly to the side, checking the pulse point in Cali’s neck, the way her fingers curled around the pearl-handled derringer in her lap."You're too quiet, Cali baby," Devi murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that fought the hum of the engine. "Usually, you’re telling me to drive into a ravine. This silence... it smells like a massacre."Cali didn't look at him. She stared at her reflection in the window a ghost in the glass. "I'm thinking about the second act, Devi. Tosca. It ends with a betrayal and a leap into the abyss. My father always loved the drama of it.

    The air in the Sicilian villa was thick with the scent of lemon trees and ancient, cooling stone a sharp contrast to the metallic tang of blood that had followed them from Rome. Devi’s hand was a heavy, possessive weight on the small of Cali’s back as they stepped through the arched threshold of the master suite. He didn't just walk he claimed the space, his obsessive gaze never leaving the back of Cali's neck.Cali didn't look at the sprawling view of the Ionian Sea. She looked at the black sapphire on her finger, the thorn-edged band a constant reminder of the ruthless world she was now ruling. Her grumpy mask was firmly in place, her jaw set so tight it ached."You’re home, Cali baby," Devi murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that made the fine hairs on her arms stand up."I’m in a cage with a better view, Devi. There’s a difference," she snapped, her mean eyes flashing as she turned to face him.Devi stepped into her space, his shadow swallowing her whole. He reached out

    The Tuscan hills were a rolling sea of gold and silver-green, but to Cali, the landscape was a blur of high-speed curves and a rising, jagged fury. She sat in the back of the armored SUV, her hands steady as she checked the safety on the pearl-handled derringer. She was wearing Devi’s charcoal suit jacket over her own thin slip, a stark, masculine weight that smelled of his sandalwood and a decade of his obsession.Devi sat beside her, his silence a possessive weight. He didn't look at the horizon he looked at her profile, his thumb tracing the jagged scar on his own palm a reminder of a war he’d fought before she even knew his name."We're three minutes out, Cali baby," Devi murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that cut through the sterile hum of the air conditioning. "Your mother is on the north terrace. She’s waiting for a wire transfer that isn't coming." Cali didn’t turn. Her grumpy mask was fixed, her jaw set in a line so hard it was a wonder it didn’t shatter. "I don'

    The Roman skyline was a jagged crown of gold and smog as Cali stood on the rooftop of the Santoro safehouse. She was no longer the girl in the moth-eaten hoodie. She wore a tailored charcoal wool coat, the black sapphire on her finger catching the light of the rising sun.Behind her, the silk factory was still belching black smoke into the Trastevere district."The Commission is meeting at the Pantheon in an hour," Devi’s voice drifted from the shadows. He had cleaned the blood from his face, but the ruthless edge in his eyes remained. He walked toward her, his possessive stride slow, his gaze fixed on the back of her neck. "They think we’re dead, Cali baby. Or worse—they think we’re hiding."Cali didn't turn around. Her grumpy face was set in a mask of arctic stone. "Let them think what they want. By the time I’m done with the ledger I found in that lab, they won't be worried about our deaths. They’ll be worried about their own."She turned, her mean smirk flashing. "You didn't tel

    The roar of the helicopter blades was a rhythmic thumping in Cali’s chest, matching the frantic pulse of her heart. She stared at the back of Devi’s head his dark hair perfectly groomed despite the wind, his shoulders broad and immovable.He didn’t look like a savior. He looked like the architect

    The sun was setting, casting long, bruised shadows over the city shadows that felt like Devi’s fingers trailing over the skyline.Cali didn’t go to the agency. She didn't go back to the loft. She walked until her feet ached, her oversized hoodie pulled up like a shield against a world that was rapi

    The meeting was a disaster, which meant for Cali, it was a soaring success. She watched the tiny squares of twelve powerful men on the monitor blink in stunned silence. They were expecting a puppet in a designer suit, instead, they got a girl in a moth-eaten hoodie with her feet on the desk of t

    The sun didn't just rise in the loft, it assaulted it. The floor-to-ceiling glass turned the shrine of her life into a blinding gallery of her own face. Cali woke up on the velvet sofa, her neck stiff and her temper shorter than the hem of her sheer gown. She stood up, her bare feet hitting the
