Zayden’s POV

The morning air felt heavier than usual, pressing down against the glass walls of my office. I’d been staring at the same document for fifteen minutes, the words blurring together, refusing to make sense. My coffee had gone cold. My patience, thinner than paper.

The problem wasn’t the report.

It was her.

Rielle.

She’d come in earlier than usual today, silent and professional as ever. Her greeting was polite, distant — too distant. The same woman who once couldn’t look at me without her eyes softening now spoke to me like a stranger.

“Good morning, Mr. Wolfe,” she’d said when she entered my office earlier.

Mr. Wolfe.

I hated the sound of it on her lips.

She’d placed a few folders on my desk, her gaze never lifting to meet mine. The faint scent of her perfume still lingered in the air long after she left, torturing me more than any unfinished deal could.

And worse, I knew where she’d been last night.

Lucas had mentioned it casually this morning — too casually. “Rielle and I

  • Ruin Me Mr CEO   Chapter 128

    Zayden;It took me only a few days to get solid evidence…days that felt like years, my mind racing non-stop, piecing together the puzzle that had torn my life apart. I hired the best private investigators money could buy, had them dig through phone records, bank transfers, even hacked emails I wasn’t proud of but didn’t regret. And there it was—irrefutable proof. Linda. My “loyal” friend. The one who’d been by my side through everything. She’d been the leak. The manipulator. The one who’d doctored footage, framed Marcus, even orchestrated the accident that almost killed Rielle. All to drive her away. To have me to herself.My heart broke when it all clicked….sadness like a knife twist for the years I’d trusted her, anger boiling hot for how she’d played me like a fool. But I pushed it down. Buried it. I had to do what I had to do to protect Rielle. No more lies. No more threats lurking in the shadows.The officers took her away in handcuffs, her face pale and tear-streaked as they re

    Rielle Elsie and Lucas were now with us.Ofcourse to explain themselves. Zayden was not having it“One lie… and I will rip out your tongue.” He said to LucasLucas sighed turning to me.“I’m sorry, that day I called. I had found out Linda had some connection with Dante. She found out I knew, she threatened your life Rielle. She-““You knew and didn’t think it was right to tell me? “ Zayden said shocked“I wasn’t about to risk her life. I had to make sure she was safe—““That is not your place, never been and never will.” Zayden said… and lucas looked hurt.“She’s mine, mine to protect.” Zayden added.I looked at Elsie and she was teary.“I’m so sorry Rie… I was trying to protect you. I didn’t know what I would have done without you.”“Lucas suspects Linda is behind the accident,” Elsie said, her voice soft but steady, her hand squeezing mine tighter like she was anchoring me to the moment. “And… I didn’t know what else she could do to you.”********Zayden and Lucas… the tension betw

  • Ruin Me Mr CEO   Chapter 126

    RielleAll these months, I’d been thinking Zayden was at fault…blaming him for the letter, for moving on with Linda, for not being there when I woke up from that nightmare of a coma. But now, looking at him, his face twisted with genuine confusion and shock, I realized he was just as in the dark as I was. He claimed he didn’t know about the letter or my accident, his voice breaking like the words were tearing him apart from the inside. What was going on? Why would Lucas lie about it? And Elsie? They’d both been my lifelines, my anchors when everything else fell apart. Had they been feeding me stories? Keeping us separated on purpose? The thought made my stomach twist, a mix of betrayal and fear bubbling up, making it hard to breathe.I couldn’t hold it in anymore.I started to speak, the words tumbling out like they’d been locked up too long, desperate to be free.“I dropped the resignation letter because… because I thought it was the only way to set you free,” I said, my voice shaki

  • Ruin Me Mr CEO   Chapter 125

    Zayden:I arrived in London the previous day, but it was already late. I couldn’t go to the company…the same place where that photo was taken.I didn’t sleep that night. Not even for a minute.I needed to see her.I needed answers.Because something was definitely wrong.When I finally got to the company, I didn’t want to cause a scene.I asked to see Elsie. They knew who I was, so they let me in without hesitation.“Zayden?” she said, surprised.I nodded.“What are you doing here?” she whispered urgently. “Please leave before Rielle finds out you’re here. You’ve done enough damage.” She tried to lead me out.I was confused—but I wasn’t about to waste my time.“I need to see her,” I said firmly.“I’ll only leave if she asks me to. You don’t get to decide that.”It came out harsher than I intended, but I didn’t care.We walked toward a nearby park. That was when I saw her.I would recognize her anywhere.She was sitting with her back to me… with a man.Lucas.He was leaning in—Rage flo

  • Ruin Me Mr CEO   Chapter 124

    RielleI stood there in the middle of the park, the fresh London air suddenly feeling too thick to breathe, like it was closing in on me. Zayden was right in front of me—tall, furious at first, his gray eyes burning with that storm I knew so well. But then it shifted. The anger faded, melting into something softer, sadder. Disappointment. Like he’d expected more from me, from us. The kind of look that made my stomach drop and my throat tighten.We didn’t say anything for what felt like forever. Just stared at each other, the wind rustling the leaves around us, kids laughing in the distance like nothing was wrong. But everything was. He wouldn’t speak first. His fists were still clenched at his sides, jaw tight, like he was holding back a thousand words. So I broke the silence, my voice coming out sharper than I meant.“Why are you here, Zayden? Shouldn’t you be with Linda?”The last part slipped out before I could stop it. It sounded petty, like some jealous ex who couldn’t let go, an

  • Ruin Me Mr CEO   Chapter 123

    RielleZayden?I mumbled the name like a question, my voice barely a whisper, caught somewhere between shock and a dream I didn’t want to wake from.He was standing right in front of me—tall, broad shoulders heaving with breath, fist still clenched from the punch he’d just landed. My heart flipped in my chest, a wild, painful lurch that made my breath hitch. I’d dreamt of this moment over and over, night after night, lying in that hospital bed or staring at the ceiling in Elsie’s spare room. In those dreams, he came finding me, bursting through the door with that intense look in his gray eyes, telling me it was all a misunderstanding. That he had nothing to do with Linda, that the letter was fake, some cruel trick. That he loved me, missed me so much it hurt, and he’d tear the world apart to get me back.But right now, he was here real, flesh and blood and it wasn’t like the dreams at all.His fist was connected to Lucas’s face, the crack of it echoing in the park like a thunderclap.
