A loud squeal suddenly exploded inside the car.

“AURORA!”

Before Aurora could even react, the passenger door flew open and Mina practically launched herself inside the back seat. The next second Aurora felt herself being crushed in a bone-breaking hug.

“Mina..!”

The girl’s arms wrapped around her so tightly Aurora could barely breathe.

“You’re married! Married!” Mina shrieked directly into her ear. “Oh my God, Aurora, I’m going to die!”

Aurora gasped, trying to pry Mina’s arms loose.

  • 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 important for fi

  • 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. With his perfect suit and his glasses. But this time around,He had a cigarette resting between his fingers,He didn’t look up immediately. “Congratulations,” Eric said calmly. “The human iceberg finally melted.” Julian barked out a laugh. “Melted? He didn’t melt he exploded. 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 day marriage softened you.” Reuben walked past them without another word and took his seat behind the desk,

  • 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

    For a moment, the room fell completely silent.No one moved and no one spoke.Even the woman who had been screaming just seconds ago seemed to choke on her own voice. Every single person in the room was staring at the man by the door, Everyone was shocked.Everyone except Eli. He had been the one who sent the message. The moment the shoe hit him, he had texted Reuben.And Reuben Blackwood always arrived when things crossed a line.Mrs. Hargrove was the first to move. You could almost see the calculations running behind her eyes.In a split second, she stepped forward quickly, her entire attitude changing again.“Mr. Blackwood,” she said quickly bowing her head slightly “What an unexpected honor. I’m the CEO of Starlight Entertain...”“Stop.”The single word stopped her from speaking.Reuben didn’t even look at her.His eyes moved slowly across the room, taking everything in. The tension in the room, Eli’s condition. The hysterical woman. And then...Marcus.The moment Reuben’s eyes la

    The moment Aurora and Mina stepped inside the office, Mrs. Hargrove was already on her feet.She quickly pulled out a chair with an overly eager smile.“Please, please… sit.”Aurora and Mina exchanged a brief glance,something about her behavior felt… off.Mrs. Hargrove, the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, was not known for kindness. She was known for squeezing profit out of people and for discarding talents the moment they stopped being useful. And now she had a smile on her lips, there was something cold behind it. Like a snake pretending to be harmless while it prepared to strike.“Well then…” Mrs. Hargrove pulled her hands together letting out a chuckle.“Welcome, Mrs. Blackwood. What an honor it is to have you here. Truly, Starlight Entertainment has always valued you...”Aurora rolled her eyes internally. So that was it.The marriage. That was the only reason this woman was suddenly acting like she had any ounce of respect for her.Her eyes shifted briefly toward Eli at the ba

Married!” Mina shrieked directly into her ear. “Oh my God, Aurora, I’m going to die!” Aurora gasped, trying to pry Mina’s arms loose. “Mina… I can’t -breathe…” Her eyes darted helplessly toward the front seat. Reuben's Assistant,Eli sat behind the steering wheel as he drove the car through traffic. But Instead of helping, he simply chuckled. Clearly, he was used to his cousins antica “How was your first night as Mrs. Blackwood?” Mina blurted out suddenly. Aurora froze. “Did you guys ...” Mina leaned closer, she lowered her voice dramatically before whisper-shouting, “..do it?!” Aurora’s face turned red.“Mina!”But

    For the hundredth time that midnight, Celeste Arden dialed her son’s number. She stood near the window of her penthouse staring outside. The phone rang once, then twice. Then finally a voice answered. It wasn't Reuben though "Good evening, Ms. Arden,” Eli’s voice came through the phone. Ce

    Reuben didn’t raise his voice. “Yes,” he said clearly. “The wedding photos are real.” The shouting reduced slightly. “And no,” he continued “the so-called leaked bedroom photos are not what they were presented to be.” The reporters leaned forward. “The images involving Marcus Myers were ta
