บททั้งหมดของ Fated to the Ruthless CEO: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Devlin’s senses were dulled by the weight of alcohol that he consumed. However, he was not too wasted to not notice his surroundings. Looking at the familiar ceiling, he knows that he is back in his own room. Then, the door to his room gently opened. He saw a white figure standing just at his door. He tried to pretend that he is not aware of anything, that he is asleep like a baby. He heard the soft sounds of her footsteps as she moved around his room. Then, he smelled her natural feminine scent which he started to get used to. Then, after a few minutes, he felt Amber slowly lifting his right arm. She started to wipe away the traces of his intoxication. She cleaned him so gently. Devlin was only feeling her presence. Her gentle touch, her show of care, her patience with him… all of those he took for granted because he saw her in a different light. He saw her as a scheming vixen. He could not understand himself. Earlier, he was so angry at her that he thought he could hurt her real

They have been on the road for more than two hours now. Amber has no idea where they are going. Devlin would never tell her anything. She thought they would just drive around the city. Looking at some wooded areas, she is guessing that they are now outside the city. The places that they passed by started to be less crowded. So instead of bugging Devlin with her question to where they are going, she decided to enjoy the view. The place she is currently looking at right now has more verdant green trees. And of course, she would never miss the majestic mountain ranges. Another two hours later, they reached their destination. “Wow! This is so amazing!” Amber could not help but admire the view in front of her. They are in Port Angeles. It is a few miles away from Mt. Olympus but Devlin said that the mountain is not visible from their place. She is actually looking at Hurricane Ridge. The area of Port Angeles is surrounded by a great body of water. Along the way, she already saw some p

The next day was a flurry of activity for Amber and Devlin. Amber woke up to a slight knocking on her bedroom door. Before she could fully open her eyes, she heard footsteps. Then, someone sat on her bed close to her. She was still in her dreamlike state when she lazily opened her eyes. She was surprised to see the smiling face of Devlin. “Good morning, sleepyhead. Do you want to sleep some more?” She could hear his slight chuckles. She simply shook her head. She is tempted to sleep some more but she remembers this is their last day here. She wants to explore the place with Devlin. She slowly stretched her arms and slowly sat down on her bed. She saw him eyeing her carefully. She suddenly feels self-conscious about her appearance. She attempted to fix her messy hair by brushing it with her fingertips. She is well aware how Devlin’s eyes were following her move. She finally took a deep sigh. “What time is it now?” She asked, trying to mask her embarrassment. “It is almost 8 am. I

Devlin was busy signing papers when his secretary came knocking at the door to his office. “Come in.” He said while still engrossed with his work. “Sir, this just came in now.” The secretary said with a neat envelope in his hand. Devlin’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the card his secretary was giving him. He immediately dismissed his secretary while checking the envelope. At the back of it, their names were neatly handwritten. To Mr. and Mrs. Devlin Wesley. He was completely surprised. There are only very few people who know that he is married. His own family, Attorney Harrison, and the judge. He opened it knowing that it is an invitation to something important. And it is indeed very important. The heading says it all… Engagement Party of Dalton and Raven ‘It is with great pleasure to formally invite you as we take the next step of our life together. We would be grateful to have your support and love. We hope to share this special moment with you.’ Devlin’s expression wa

Amber was surprised how Devlin candidly opened up about his feelings towards his relationship with Raven. He looks much better now compared to the previous weeks where he was desperate to get back with Raven. She is not sure what changed his mind. She does not want to assume that it has something to do with their relationship now. Amber is not assured of whatever they have. Devlin shows her so many actions and words that she thinks that they are doing good. But she also understands that just weeks ago, things were definitely not fine with them. She shivered just thinking about the past. She just wants to find if Devlin shares those same feelings with her.“By the way, I almost forgot something.” He stood up to get something from his suitcase that he left in the living room earlier. He gently pulled Amber with him out of the entertainment room.“Here, this is an invitation letter.” Devlin handed her the card he got from Raven and his brother. “What is this?” Amber asked out of curiosi
