All Chapters of Claimed By The Ruthless Enzo : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

{Naomi POV}I sat on the bed, staring at the intricate gold walls with black lines running through them. Then I looked up, checking if there were cameras, but there were none. The room had the smell of lavender and something else I couldn’t quite place.I still couldn’t believe Enzo wanted me to stay in his room, as if the camera he installed in mine wasn’t already enough to breach my privacy. My mind drifted to the way he had stared at me in his study and how he had been showing concern and care toward me for the past few days.My heart thudded in my chest, and I placed a hand over it. “I can’t be thinking this the wrong way,” I whispered to myself. “He’s just acting that way to me. There’s nothing more.”I let out a small breath, feeling the urge to sleep, but I could only lie on my side because my back was still aching. I rubbed my hand against the soft sheets, letting the warmth calm my nerves. The bed smelled of his perfume, and breathing it in almost made it feel like he was st

{Naomi POV}Heat crept up my sleeves as I watched Enzo walk back to the couch and sink into it, a glass of liquor resting in his hand. I was such a fool, thinking he was too drunk to know what he was doing, and even worse, thinking I could help.I wrapped my arms around myself, shame burning deep in my gut. He probably thought I was trying to sleep with him just to make him clear my debt.I shifted on the bed, trying to push away the rising bile in my throat. I didn’t want to think about what just happened, or how his hand on my skin had felt like fire. I didn’t want to think about how easily I’d melted under his touch.“You’re such a fool, Naomi,” I muttered under my breath, my voice shaking.“Are you going to keep doing that?” Enzo’s rough voice filled the room.I froze, refusing to look at him. Looking at his face would only drag me deeper into this embarrassment. My dress hung loosely against my body, and that’s when I realized, he’d pulled the zipper down. I couldn’t reach it mys

{Maya POV}Everything inside me wanted to kill that slithering bitch, Naomi. Who the hell did she think she was? I’ve known Enzo since he was ten. I loved him, watched him, kept other girls away. Then she came out of nowhere and thought she could just replace me. No way I’m going to allow that.My pulse thumped hard in my neck. The urge to get a gun and blow Naomi’s head off was the only thing keeping my legs moving as I rushed down the hallway. I felt tears threatening to fall, but I wiped them away before they could spill.“There’s no way I’m shedding tears because of that bitch,” I cursed under my breath. “Enzo is mine, and I won’t let her take him from me.”Without realising it, I’d wandered into another corridor. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, I pushed open Brian’s study door and closed it behind me.Brian sat in a chair by the window instead of at his desk, a cigarette between his fingers, white smoke curling up into the air.I stormed forward. “I need a gun,”

{Naomi POV}For a second, my body froze. My heart hammered so fast that I could hear the blood rushing in my ears. I opened my mouth but no sound came out. Maya smiled, that smug little curl of her lips that told me she already knows too much.I blinked looking away for a while. “What are you talking about?” I forced out, trying to sound calm even though my hands had turned cold. “How can you accuse of such?"Maya tilted her head, her smirk deepening. “Oh, come on, Naomi. Now it’s starting to make sense.” Her eyes gleamed with mock amusement. “You must’ve been here because of the cufflinks you stole, and Enzo caught you. That’s why you’re suddenly the new charity case, right?”I looked away quickly, pretending to be bored, but inside, panic tightened my throat. How much did she really know? Or was she just trying to get me to slip? I clenched my jaw, forcing my expression to stay blank.She gave a low chuckle, slow and taunting. “You don’t have to say anything. I’ll figure it out. And

{Enzo POV} The look on the board members’ faces was exactly how I had imagine, they were shocked. Even Naomi’s. No one had expected me to come up with such a move, but that was how things were going to be from now on. “Mr. Vitale,” one of the men finally spoke, forcing a polite smile. “We understand your decision, and we do not interject. And your wife, sir… she’s a very beautiful woman.” “Thank you, Mr. Williams,” I replied, my voice even. “Indeed, she is very beautiful. That’s why she’s the best fit.” I turned my gaze toward Naomi. Her head lifted, eyes wide and uncertain, like she couldn’t believe what I’d just said. When our eyes met, she quickly looked away. “That will be all,” I said, leaning back in my chair. “Please feel free to check out the accessories.” The meeting ended, and silence filled the room for a moment before the scraping sound of chairs broke it. The board members stood, their expressions stiff. They exchanged brief glances before one by one, their g
