Sold to Ruin, Claimed by Power: The Ruthless CEO Who Changed TWENTY NINE - Fisher's
Aurora had never realized how distracting a man could be until Reuben Blackwood decided to look…well like an actual human.Not the man who always looked like he belonged somewhere higher, somewhere no one else could quite reach.No.This version of him sat beside her in a very ordinary Toyota Corolla,to blend ok of course. One hand on the wheel, dressed in a simple dark shirt with sleeves rolled slightly.Aurora had lost count of how many times she had looked at him. She shifted slightly in her seat, trying to look out the window like a normal person who wasn’t conducting a full visual inspection of her husband every ten seconds.The city outside was beginning to soften into evening. The sky had the shades of amber and fading blue,it gave She rested her cheek lightly against the window. Then against her better judgement,she glanced back at him.This time, she didn’t look away fast enough. Reuben’s eyes flicked toward her briefly. Damn she got caughtAurora’s entire body froze for ha
Sold to Ruin, Claimed by Power: The Ruthless CEO Who Changed TWENTY EIGHT - Dinner at the Hawthorne Home
Dinner at the Hawthorne home was proving to be far more exhausting than Lydia had expected. The dining hall was as suffocating as always. Portraits of dead Hawthornes stared down from the walls like they were personally disappointed in everyone still alive. Lydia Valenmoor sat at the right side of her beloved James, She looked like the picture of a gentle and obedient future daughter-in-law. Inside, she was counting enemies. At the head of the table sat the Hawthorne grandmother Annabeth, A woman with a mouth that only seemed to open to criticize someone, insult someone, or remind everyone she was old and therefore always right. To the left was his mother, who Lydia fondly called Aunt Margret. She believed everyone was beneath the Hawthorne name except herself, and made sure people knew it in every single sentence she spoke. Further down was Andrew Hawthorne, James’s cousin, who was arrogant and loud. He was always looking for someone weaker to mock so he could feel importa
Sold to Ruin, Claimed by Power: The Ruthless CEO Who Changed TWENTY SIX - The Human Iceberg finally melted
Reuben didn’t even flinch.He turned his head slightly already knowing,it was no other than his annoying friend Julian Everhart. Julian grinned at him completely unbothered. “Care to explain, or should I start making up better stories?” Across the room, Eric Rowan sat like he owned the place. Leg crossed over the other. His suit was immaculate as always and glasses resting perfectly on the bridge of his nose. But the cigarette between his fingers and the dark look in his eyes. Those were new. He exhaled slowly before speaking. “Congratulations,The human iceberg finally melted.” Julian let out a short laugh. “Melted? No, no...he didn’t melt. He detonated. Skipped ten steps straight to marriage and a baby.” And as usual Reuben reached up , wrapped two fingers around Julian's wrist, and removed it effortlessly. The message was clear - don’t touch me. Julian only raised both hands in surrender still smiling. “There he is. I was worried few days of marriage softened you.” Reuben w
Sold to Ruin, Claimed by Power: The Ruthless CEO Who Changed TWENTY FIVE - The Road to Trust
What exactly just happened back there? Aurora asked herself that question for the hundredth time as she stared out the window from the passenger seat. They were driving through the city in a very ordinary black Toyota Corolla. The reason was simple ,Ever since their marriage announcement all eyes had been on them. Reporters, bloggers, industry spies,even random people with phones hoping to capture something scandalous. If Reuben drove one of his usual cars, they would be followed within minutes. Still, it was strange. The most powerful man in the entertainment industry, driving a Corolla and stopping at traffic lights like a normal person. If Mina were here, she would probably faint from the irony. Aurora rested her head lightly against the window and watched the city pass by. But her mind wasn’t on the traffic or the buildings It was on him. She could feel his eyes on her occasionally, even while he drove. He was one of those people who seemed to be fully aware of ev

FEW DAYS LATER“What do you mean you’re pregnant and the CEO of Blackwood Enterprises proposed to you?!”Mina shrieked so loudly that she spat water straight out of her mouth.It sprayed across the room as she sat down on the edge of Aurora’s tiny bed, with her hand still clutching the cup like it

The Valenmoor estate had descended into madness.Servants ran up and down the corridors panicking, shouts echoed through the halls as they bumped into each other “Move..move!”“Watch out!”Then a vase shattered against the wall with a deafening crash, the little pieces scattered all over the floor

“P-pregnant?” she croaked, her voice trembling. Her chest tightened, and her heart slammed against her ribs so violently she could barely breathe“What–no–that’s not–” She looked between the doctor and Reuben,there was fear written over her face. “Doctor, are you sure?”

The beeping of the monitor was the first thing Aurora registered as consciousness crept back in. She blinked, disoriented, taking in her surroundings. The room smelled faintly of antiseptic and as far she could tell,she wasn’t in her cramped apartment. Was she in a hospit
