บททั้งหมดของ Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

The restaurant Samuel chose was an upscale, intimate spot tucked away from the city’s bustling streets. It wasn’t extravagant, but it exuded quiet elegance. The kind of place where conversations weren’t meant to be rushed. Ellie sat across from him, her fingers lightly grazing the stem of her water glass. She had agreed to this lunch, yet as she looked at the man sitting before her, she wondered if she had made a mistake. She shouldn't have accepted his invitation in the first place, as it would only make things more complicated between them again. No matter how composed and resolute she was, when it came to Samuel, she faltered, and her emotions couldn't be kept in place. Samuel, ever composed, studied her with quiet intent before speaking. “It’s been a long time since we last sat together like this.” Ellie let out a soft breath, tilting her head slightly. “It feels like a lifetime, rather.” The waiter arrived to take their orders, breaking the tension for a brief moment. Ellie c

AFTER dinner, Celest invited them to have tea in the living room. Everyone followed suit.Sitting elegantly on the high-end couch, Celest carefully filled their teacups. Her expression was warm, yet a visible seriousness lingered beneath it.Alex took a seat on the long couch opposite Celest. His posture was relaxed, but his mind has always been alert and sharp. He was already sensing something. Eve sat beside him, silent yet quietly observing the unusual atmosphere in the room. She could feel the tension in the way Alex held her hand.Earl, on the other hand, sat on another long couch across from Alex and Celest, in a semi-confused state. He silently wondered why Celest had included him in this family gathering when he was just an outsider. But he still followed along as it was a request from a woman he deeply respected.The room was quiet for a long moment before Celest finally spoke.“I summoned you here tonight because there’s something you need to know.” Her voice was clear, but

Eve arrived at Ellie’s boutique after seeing Alex off at the airport. The moment she stepped inside, the warm, familiar scent of polished wood and fresh flowers enveloped her, offering a brief respite from the weight of everything she had been carrying.Her mother’s new shop was far larger than their previous one, and the ambience was impeccable. Eve couldn’t help but feel grateful to Alex for being so considerate. Not only had he gifted the shop to her mother, but he had also invested in her mother’s jewelry collection and introduced a few small investors. It was a gesture of support that went beyond anything she could have expected.As she entered, her gaze immediately landed on Celest, who was admiring a sapphire necklace on display. Celest’s elegance and grace were evident, and her eyes lit up when they met her.She turned, holding the necklace delicately in her hands. "Eve, dear," Celest said, her voice smooth and pleasant. "I was admiring your mother’s beautiful work. She truly

Alex had always been a man of control. He dictated his life with precision, never letting emotions cloud his judgment. But the moment he received the call that Eve had been admitted to the hospital, had a miscarriage, and was in critical condition, everything inside him crumbled. His grip on his phone tightened until his knuckles turned white. His mind went blank for a second, the words ringing in his ears like a death sentence.Miscarriage.Critical condition.The world around him blurred.Without a single word, he stood from his chair, his movements sharp and rigid. He was still in a conference meeting, finalizing some matters before his departure. The meeting room was full of high-profile executives, but Alex didn’t care. His entire being was consumed by a single thought—getting back to Eve as soon as possible.“Mr. Harris,” one of the directors started, but Alex’s piercing glare silenced him instantly.His steps were quick, his posture stiff with contained frustration. He didn’t s

The private lounge in the hospital was eerily quiet. Only Samuel and Alex remained, both knowing there was much to discuss.Alex stood by the window, his hands in his pockets, his eyes stormy with fury. Samuel sat in one of the armchairs, his expression rigid, expecting the conversation to center on the recent tragedy that had befallen Evie. He had no doubt that his son-in-law had already uncovered something.Just an hour ago, Alex had received the final reports from Earl and Daniel’s separate investigations. They had successfully captured the suspicious woman who had entered the women’s restroom moments before Eve. Daniel confirmed she was one of Rupert Langley’s subordinates.For a while, neither of them spoke. The silence was unbreakable. Then, Alex finally spoke on his low and cutting voice.“Mandy did it.”Samuel stiffened, his brows knitting in confusion. “Mandy did what?”Alex turned to him, his expression razor-sharp. “She orchestrated Eve’s miscarriage.”Samuel’s stomach twis
