RUTHLESS Chapter 35
Never build a fortress around a wounded heart unless you are prepared to watch the walls trap you inside with a predator. The sprawling penthouse became a tense battleground of avoided glances and unspoken desire over the next twenty four hours. Maren navigated the pristine rooms with deliberate caution to avoid the magnetic pull of the billionaire tracking her every movement. The memory of his dark confession hung heavy in the air and made every shared space feel dangerously small. Gideon remained inside the secure wing working on his corporate strategies while giving her the physical distance she demanded. He did not issue any new commands or attempt to close the gap between them after their explosive confrontation. The quiet atmosphere felt less like a truce and more like a predator waiting in the shadows for the perfect moment to strike. Maren found herself looking for his towering frame every time she entered a room despite her fierce desire to maintain her independence. She ha

The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the quiet glass castle like a sudden clap of thunder. Maren pulled her hand back while her fingers burned from the fierce impact against his hard jaw. Gideon did not blink or turn his head away from the strike. He accepted the physical blow with a chilling stillness that made her racing heart skip a vital beat. The tall billionaire stood his ground and absorbed her fury without displaying a single ounce of retaliation. A faint red mark bloomed across his tanned skin to mirror the intense violence of her fractured emotions. "You have every right to strike me for making a unilateral decision regarding your body and your public image," Gideon murmured in a dangerously calm tone. He took a slow step forward and closed the tiny gap she had tried to create between them. "I will stand here and let you break your hands against my chest if it helps you process the anger you feel right now." "I do not want to strike you again because physical violen

"You stripped away my dignity and broadcast my deepest vulnerability to millions of strangers without asking for a single ounce of my consent," Maren shouted the exact moment the heavy metallic doors of the private elevator slid open. Gideon stepped into the pristine foyer wearing the tailored suit he wore during the televised broadcast, though the dark confidence radiating from his broad shoulders felt far heavier now. He walked toward the center of the spacious living room with slow predatory strides while his slate gray eyes locked onto her flushed face. "I secured the permanent safety of your family and destroyed the man who tortured your sister for years," Gideon countered with a booming voice that vibrated through the high ceilings of the penthouse. "I used the exact weapon required to dismantle his public narrative before a judge could issue a warrant to remove the boy from this home. You get to keep your nephew because I made a tactical decision on that courthouse plaza." "Y
RUTHLESS Chapter 32
A profound silence fell over the crowded concrete plaza as hundreds of journalists opened the digital file delivered straight to their mobile devices. The chaotic shouting faded into a dense quiet while the glowing screens reflected against their stunned faces. Maren watched the television broadcast with her pulse roaring in her ears as the media digested the secret weapon Gideon had just unleashed. "What kind of forged document did you just send to these reporters to save your failing reputation," Desmond demanded while trying to look over the shoulder of a nearby cameraman. "You cannot distract the public from a sworn witness testimony with more corporate lies and fabricated paperwork." "I did not send them paperwork because reading legal clauses will never convince a room full of skeptics," Gideon replied with a dark satisfaction resonating in his chest. "I sent them undeniable visual evidence of what happens when my wife and I are alone behind closed doors." Maren leaned closer
RUTHLESS Chapter 31
How much money does it take to buy the silence of a man who swore an oath to protect your family? Maren watched the television screen in total disbelief as the disgraced guard adjusted the microphone and glared at the billionaire standing mere feet away. The man she had tried to protect from termination just days ago was now the very weapon Desmond planned to use to sever her from her nephew forever. "I worked inside that penthouse and I saw the truth behind closed doors," the former guard declared to the sea of flashing cameras and shouting journalists. "They pretend to be a loving couple for the cameras but they sleep in separate bedrooms and barely speak to each other when the public is not watching. Mister Cole fired me because I knew too much about their fraudulent arrangement and he wanted to silence my testimony." The press corps erupted into a frenzy of hostile questions and accusations that drowned out the ambient noise of the city plaza. Journalists who had praised Gideon

"Turn the volume up right now before he destroys everything we fought so hard to protect," Maren demanded with a trembling voice while her eyes remained glued to the glowing television screen. She clutched the edge of the velvet sofa as Desmond approached the wooden podium with a triumphant smirk plastered across his handsome face. Gwen scrambled to grab the remote control and amplified the sound just as the corrupt billionaire tapped the microphone to command the attention of the swarming journalists. "Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I stand before you today to expose a massive fraud perpetrated against the family court system and the general public," Desmond announced in a booming voice that echoed across the municipal steps. He held a thick stack of papers high in the air for the flashing cameras to capture the bold legal text printed on the front page. "Gideon Cole claims to be a devoted husband, but I possess the physical contract proving his sudden marriage is nothing more t
