Ruthless Novels & Stories

“Don’t you feel even a little bit guilty?” “Guilty?” The voice on the other end was dripping with mockery. “Why would I feel guilty? I go after what I want, fight for it, and I always make sure I get it. Yeah, you can call me ruthless, say I’m despicable. So what?” There was a pause, then the voice sounded proud, even pleased. “I won.” Raina replied quietly, “Oh yeah?”

He blankly stated. "That's bullshit, Mateo! You broke that treaty the day you threatened to kill me in front of your men." "Enough! Jesus!" Rafe angrily yelled at us. "You're giving me a fucking headache. Holy fuck! The way you're carrying on, Mila is probably having nightmares right fucking now." Rafe uttered in disbelief. "Don't get me started on you, Rafe," I told him in anger. "Hera, I swear to God." He warned me so I angrily looked out the window. The car dawned in silence and I could feel Mateo's eyes burning into my skin.

“I’m telling you to be ruthless.” The word hung there. Ruthless. “Keep your distance,” she continued, “But fire on all cylinders.” For a moment, I saw her—the Natalie I’d known for years. Unforgiving. Quick. Heavy-handed with enemies. The kind of person who didn’t lose sleep over moral dilemmas like the rest of us. And God help me… maybe we needed that right now. Maybe it was time to stop playing defense and start crushing the board before Peter could reach for another piece.

My heart pounded at the cold and darkness of his eyes. I let go and backed away. The piece of glass that is now tainted with blood fell on the floor. "Look what you've done, Audrey! You're so slutty! You're just like your mommy-" "Shut up!" I spat angrily and turned to Rustov. "And you? Why did you interrupt? It's not my fault why you got hurt! That's your fault for taking that stupid girl's side! Why are you defending her? Your friend? Girlfriend? Because, you're both trash!"

"Are you truly so dissatisfied with the lineage I have selected for you?" Madison was completely repulsed by the arrangement, but she lacked the courage to voice her arrogance openly. She needed to maintain her standing as the obedient, perfect daughter to ensure Richard didn't strip her remaining privileges. If Ruth had brought forward an alliance with a renowned military house in the Shifter Citadel, she would have broken into a joyous run. But to accept a fruit-merchant while her rival held a billionaire alpha tycoon was a humiliation her pride couldn't endure. Her face paled, tears spilling over her lashes as she forced her voice to remain steady.

My silk blouse rips, fabric tearing loud and obscene in the silence between their laughter. The leader crouches over me, his weight pressing me into the carpet. His smile is slow, deliberate, the kind that makes bile burn the back of my throat. “You think you’re untouchable, rich girl?” His breath stinks of cigarettes as his fingers drag down my cheek. “Men like me… we break women like you. Tonight, you’re nothing but a hole to bleed dry.” “I’ll kill you,” I rasp, my voice shredded but steady. “If you touch me, I’ll kill you.”

I said flatly, refusing to meet his eyes. He tilted his head, the muscles in his jaw flexing. “We just had sex, Ruth. It didn’t occur to you that I’m your husband’s brother when I was driving my cock deep inside your pussy?” His words sliced through the air, raw and unapologetic. He wanted to provoke me but I wasn't going to fall for it

(POV Anna) The bass pounded through my body, a relentless, pulsing beat that made it impossible to think. Club Lux wasn’t just loud; it was deafening. Every thrum of music vibrated through my bones, the sound rattling in my head like it was trying to shake loose my sanity. The strobe lights—blue, gold, and sharp enough to cut—flashed across the glossy black floors, and the whole place reeked of wealth and indulgence. Polished leather booths, a mile-long bar glowing like liquid silver, and patrons draped in designer everything. This wasn’t my world, not even close.

"'Everyone'? You mean you, your mom, your mistress and the illegitimate child she's carrying?" My words echoed, sending shockwaves through the crowd. Yana's face twisted in shock. She shrieked, "You're slandering me! You're ruining my reputation! If you don't clear this up, I'll end it—right here. Two lives gone. That'll prove my innocence!" Pauline hit the floor, wailing. "Julie! If you're angry, take it out on me! I'm old—I can handle it. But don't destroy this family! These accusations are enough to push someone to their death!"

Rafael leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh as if the weight of their combined truths was p ressing down on all of us. "You’ve always been known as cruel and ruthless in the business world... Maybe this time, you need to be just as ruthless to your fate too.”
