One Night with the Cold CEO 164
"Xavier... Xavier..."Weak, desperate words escaped Chloe's dry lips. Looking up through tear-blurred eyes at the towering shadow bathed in the doorway's light, her shattered world suddenly settled back into place."Chloe!"Xavier Grayson closed the distance in a single stride, pulling her frail frame into a crushing embrace.She collapsed against his chest, her clothes torn and her eyes brimming with fresh tears. Her bruised, utterly vulnerable state pierced him straight to the heart."You finally came..."Feeling absolute safety in his arms at last, she whispered his name before her strength gave out completely, plunging her into dark unconsciousness.As she went limp in his arms, a wave of agonizing pain slashed through Xavier Grayson's chest—a sharp, suffocating visceral burn worse than any physical blow he had ever endured.Every tear, every tear-soaked bruise, every ounce of horror she suffered... he was going to make the culprit pay back ten-fold.Stripping off his tailored sui

"Now that's a brilliant idea."The man's eyes gleamed as he calculated the math in his head. "So how can I be sure I'll actually walk out of here alive after taking the cash?"Xavier Grayson was filthy rich and ran an empire—he was bound to have an army of enforcers at his beck and call."I—I'll handle him!" Chloe racked her brain, fighting to keep her voice steady. "Once you get the money, I can cover for you so you can make a clean escape!"She did everything she could to sell the lie, desperately trying to convince him that the money was within reach. Because deep down, she was certain of one thing: the second she got a line through to Xavier Grayson, he would find her."Is that right?" The man glared down at her, seeing right through her act. "If you try playing any tricks on me, I'll tear you apart piece by piece.""I won't! I wouldn't dare!" Chloe whimpered, looking up at him with a trembling, tear-streaked face.Reassured by her display of terror, the man's suspicion finally re

"Don't worry. With me here, I won't let her disappear."He offered the reassurance with absolute conviction—partly to steady the little boy, but just as much to keep himself from unraveling.Chloe hadn't been back since leaving that morning. The only breadcrumb pointing toward her whereabouts was the very last phone call she received.Ten minutes later, Xavier Grayson's team traced the location linked to that incoming call.The coordinates pointed straight to a remote industrial outskirts of the city. But the area was a sprawling expanse of abandoned land and forgotten warehouses; narrowing it down to a specific building blind was nearly impossible.It was already seven o'clock in the evening.Both children were too distraught to touch their dinner.Yet, the search radius was slowly tightening. Based on Xavier Grayson's chilling assessment, there was no longer any doubt—she had been abducted.He couldn't afford to sit around waiting. The kidnappers hadn't made a ransom demand yet.Xav

She spat the words out with pure venom."Damn. What kind of grudge do you have against her? Do all women fight this dirty?" The man looked at her pretty face, feeling a momentary twinge of hesitation."She stole my boyfriend and ruined my entire future. Do you really think I'm going to let her live?" Her expression twisted into complete malice."Fair enough! We'll make sure you get your money's worth.""Just make it quick. Here's her file—I don't care how you do it, just get rid of her!" She shoved the documents into his hands, her posture radiating murderous resolve.Meanwhile, at Grayson Corporation.Ubba watched the female secretary pack her things in a flurry before rushing out, leaving the head secretary's desk completely vacant."Mr. Grayson, do you need me to cover your itinerary today?" Ubba asked, unable to suppress his curiosity. With the head secretary gone, the boss was bound to need his personal assistant to step in."She's sick today, so I sent her home to rest," Xavier

Ruby silently made her wish from the bottom of her heart.Opening her eyes, she quietly blew out the flickering candles.“What did you wish for?” he asked.Guiltily averting her gaze, Ruby stammered, “I... I’m not telling you.”“Alright. I hope your wish comes true,” Tony Stark replied smoothly, playing along.Her heart skipped a violent beat. She awkwardly gripped her dessert fork and began cutting into the cake. If he actually knew what she had wished for, he probably wouldn't have said that.“Eat up.”He sat across from her, his gaze carrying a subtle hint of doting indulgence, much like an older brother watching over a child.For once, Ruby didn't throw a tantrum or pick a fight. She kept her head down, silently eating the strawberry cake. It was the warmest, most peaceful moment they had shared since they met.As the sweet, velvety strawberry cream melted across her tongue, she ate so eagerly that she didn't even notice a stray dollop of cream caught on the corner of her mouth.W

A sudden, bitter laugh bubbled up her throat. “Tony Stark, what right do you even have to police my life? I don't even want to see your face!”Who was the one constantly dragging this out?!She had tried so hard, pushed so relentlessly to stay away from him—yet here he was, forcing his way back into her world again!“I’m your—”Tony Stark’s voice cut through the cool night air, low and heavy.Her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a shard of broken glass. Ruby knew with gut-wrenching clarity what he was about to say, but those exact words were the one wound she refused to let him open.“What? Are you going to flex your status as my brother-in-law to boss me around?! Well, I don't want it! I don't want a brother-in-law like you!” she shrieked, every drop of breath tore from her lungs as if she were pouring out the absolute last of her strength.Tony Stark froze in place, standing utterly rigid. Yet even as she unraveled completely right in front of him, his handsome face retained
