Michelle read Eleanor’s note again, tracing the beautiful handwriting with her eyes. Her heart was a mixture of emotions. It felt so strange. Words from someone she used to fear and misunderstand now felt like a gentle comfort. The apology wasn’t flashy or begging for understanding; it was honest, vulnerable, and human.

Did she really write this? Michelle asked quietly, looking up at Raymond, her fingers brushing the paper’s edge. She did, Raymond replied, gently tucking a strand of her hair be

  • The Ruthless CEO'S Chosen Wife    CHAPTER 250

    December arrived quietly, bringing a gentle touch of magic. Snow fell lightly on the rooftops, like a sprinkle of sugar, calming the busy city as if it was holding its breath for something special. The holiday season was coming, and the streets glowed with twinkling lights. Inside the Hawthorne household, a new chapter was unfolding. Michelle was resting in the hospital, looking tired but peaceful. She gazed lovingly at the two small babies in her arms—one on her left, the other on her right. The babies, a boy and a girl, both had soft curls and gentle faces, cuddling close to their mother’s warmth.Raymond sat beside her, his eyes steadily fixed on their newborns. He gently stroked his daughter's back, whispering, “Alexander and Abigail.” He savored the names, seeing them as perfect. Michelle nodded softly, They look like you. Raymond smiled, saying, "They have your nose. “And your long eyelashes.” “And your stubborn chin,” he added teasingly. Michelle chuckled, They’re going to keep

    By late August, the city had a warm, golden glow. Tree leaves were deep green, and the air smelled of fresh grass and roses. Michelle sat in the nursery watching Olivia try to build a block tower, while Oliver knocked it down. Her belly was getting bigger, firm under her dress, the twins moving and kicking inside her. The house was quietly waiting for their arrival. This time felt different—more real, more intentional. Raymond came in, wearing a T-shirt and joggers, with a tray of a smoothie and banana bread. Here’s your afternoon treat, he said, smiling. Michelle laughed, taking the tray. You’re getting good at this. I’m adjusting, he replied, sitting beside her and wrapping an arm around her. How are they?She looked at the twins. Olivia builds like an architect. Oliver takes down like a demolition crew. Raymond chuckled. Just like us. Exactly. They watched the twins bicker, laugh, and then work together briefly. I’ve been thinking, Michelle said, sipping her smoothie. After the bab

  • The Ruthless CEO'S Chosen Wife    CHAPTER 248

    In recent months, Michelle's life had quietly transformed. Spring had shifted into early summer, bathing the city in sunshine and filling the air with the sweet scents of magnolia and jasmine. Michelle's life, once chaotic and stressful, had become unexpectedly calm. It wasn't perfect, but it was steadier.Her current pregnancy was going more smoothly and with less stress. This might have been because Raymond helped her avoid unnecessary stress or because she learned to share tasks more effectively. She was approaching the end of her second trimester, with her belly visibly round, and she moved more slowly but with purpose.Her twins, Olivia and Oliver, were now lively toddlers. They started daycare a few weeks ago, and on their first day, Michelle wasn't sure if her tears came from relief or guilt. The twins were growing quickly, speaking in sentences that were both awkward and charming. They loved naming and repeating everything they encountered, even the things they probably should

    The gentle clinking of silverware and quiet background conversations created a calm atmosphere. Michelle stirred her lemon slice in her sparkling water at the café where she had met Eleanor the day before. This time, Raymond was with her, offering quiet support. Across the table, Eleanor appeared calmer and less businesslike than usual.First, Eleanor began, placing her hands on the table neatly, thank you both for meeting me again. I know this isn't easy. Raymond nodded. We’re here because it’s important to Michelle. Michelle looked directly at Eleanor. You mentioned wanting to discuss more beyond just the plans. Eleanor smiled slightly and took a sip of her drink. Yes. Yesterday was about the project, and today... I want to be more open. Less formal, if that’s okay.Michelle nodded. Go ahead. Eleanor paused to gather her thoughts. I spent a long time building my reputation and company, and I put up a wall between myself and others. I thought it was necessary because successful women

    Michelle took her time sipping her warm coffee, using its heat to stay focused as she stared at an email on her laptop. The message was very neat and organized, exactly like Eleanor, who always paid attention to details and had clear ideas. The email wasn't just about the work project; there were hidden emotions too. She gently closed her laptop and gazed out of the window. The sun cast golden light on the buildings, making them shine brightly. Raymond sat at the other end of the couch, watching her in silence. His coffee sat untouched, getting cold. He knew the expression on Michelle’s face—it was a mix of determination and uncertainty.Michelle spoke, breaking the silence. This is really impressive. Last year, I would have jumped on this project without a second thought. Raymond nodded, allowing her to continue. She wants me to help lead an urban renewal project. The goal is to transform the rundown factory area by the river into new spaces, such as community gardens, artist living

    The morning after Chloe’s magical wedding, Michelle woke up to soft sunlight streaming through the windows. The apartment was quiet and peaceful. She noticed the gentle rustling of sheets as Raymond stirred beside her. Michelle lay still for a moment, her hand resting on her flat stomach. Her thoughts wandered to the tiny life growing inside her. It had been Ten weeks. There was no visible bump yet, but tiredness and occasional nausea kept reminding her of the changes happening in her life.Raymond turned towards her, eyes still sleepy, but a gentle smile on his face. You okay? he asked warmly. Michelle nodded. Yeah. Just... thinking. He gently tucked stray hair behind her ear. About the baby? About everything, she replied. The wedding, Chloe, us... and becoming a mom again. Raymond held her hand under the covers. We’ll be great at this. Even better than before. I promise you, he said. Looking into his reassuring eyes, Michelle felt a wave of calmness. You’ve changed a lot, Raymond. H

    The boardroom was filled with quiet chatter. Important people were present: decision-makers, top executives, and legal advisors, all chosen by Raymond. Behind him, the large windows showed the city glowing in the morning sun, but inside, the mood was tense. Calvin sat stiffly at the table's end, hi

    Raymond sat staring at the photograph long after the guards left. His thumb traced the clean edges of the threatening note. He saw Michelle, the twins—his family, his future. All were targets now. Anger and fear churned inside him, but he kept control. Instead of exploding, he took a deep breath an

    Victor entered Raymond's office, and the sound of his footsteps echoed softly on the polished floor. The tension was thick in the room, almost as if you could touch it.
