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.
My Ruthless Ceo Chapter TWENTY THREE
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
My Ruthless Ceo Chapter TWENTY TWO
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'
My Ruthless Ceo Chapter TWENTY ONE
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
My Ruthless Ceo Chapter TWENTY
The metallic clatter of the silver handcuffs hitting the stone floor was the loudest sound in the room, a final tolling bell for the man Devi used to be. For twenty years, he had been the architect of her cage now, he stood before her as a soldier in her army.Devi rubbed his bruised wrists, his obsessive gaze never leaving Cali’s face. He didn't look like a man who had just been imprisoned by his wife he looked like a man who had finally seen his god."The consort," Devi repeated, his voice a low, ruthless rumble of approval. He stepped over the crumpled form of the 'Ice Queen' clone, his boots crunching on the glass of the shattered biometric scanner. "I've spent my whole life making sure no one could touch you, Cali baby. I didn't realize I was just waiting for you to learn how to hit back."Cali didn't smile. Her grumpy face was set in a mask of cold, clinical fury. She reached out and grabbed the lapels of his ruined white shirt, pulling him down until their foreheads crashed
My Ruthless Ceo Chapter NINETEEN
The North Tower felt like a tomb that had forgotten how to stay quiet. The hum of the high-voltage biometric locks was a constant, jagged reminder that the King was now a prisoner of his own obsession.Cali stood by the heavy oak door, her midnight-black suit slightly rumpled from the morning’s confrontation at the gate. She didn't look at Devi yet. She looked at the small, handheld monitor in her hand, watching the red dot of the Valenti motorcade retreat into the dusty Sicilian distance."You handled him," Devi’s voice drifted from the shadows of the bed, a low, ruthless rasp that carried a trace of poisoned fatigue. He was still shackled, the velvet-lined silver cuffs clinking as he shifted his weight. "I could hear the gravel under their tires. You didn't blink, did you, Cali baby?" Cali walked toward the bed, her grumpy face set in a mask of clinical, icy detachment. She climbed onto the mattress, her bare feet silent on the black silk. She sat on his lap, the black sapphire
