Reclaimed By The Ruthless Billionaire CEO
"He vowed never to love her. Now he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim her.”
When ruthless billionaire Adrian Blackwood and a sharp witted journalist Elena Carter find themselves entangled in each other's arms, they had an intoxicating one night stand that leads to a scandal that threatens to tear their world down. Their solution was straightforward: a marriage of convenience. No love. No strings attached. Nothing but cold, calculated damage control.
Elena is faced with emotional neglect in a marriage that seems to slowly tear her apart. When framed for betrayal, Elena was sent packing and unknowingly to her she was pregnant. A secret she had kept hidden from Adrian.
Four years later, fate draws them back into each other's lives. Adrian, colder and more commanding than ever before, discovers the truth: Elena is more than just a ghost from his past. She’s a mother. His child's mother. And the child she’s fiercely protecting bears his storm-gray eyes.
Now, the CEO who once said love was a weakness is tearing the world apart to reclaim what is his. But Elena is no longer the woman he abandoned. Rising from the ashes of their failed marriage, she has created a life—and a legacy—that refuses to submit to his demands. But as explosive secrets resurface and old enemies emerge, Adrian and Elena are forced to play a deadly game in which the stakes are higher than pride or passion.
Someone wants Elena destroyed.
Someone wants Adrian broken.
And their daughter's life is on the line.

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Scandal Elena's POV I shove a spoon of soup into my mouth. I remembered everything as my head that was in a mess began to clear up. I had met with him at an event, he was the CEO of the Blackwoods Conglomerate. While in my thoughts I got a call from Maggie, my sister. I watched as the phone rang on the table, slowly vibrating. I was hesitant at first but at the third ring I picked up. “Where have you been?!” Maggie yelled. I could feel the anger and urgency in her voice. Something was off. “I told you I was off to cover an event among the elites last night. I had a really bad night and an awful morning so I'm not in the mood for your early morning rants today.” I said, resting my head on my hands. “This isn't about how your night went or how your day is going, have you seen the news? What have you been up to? Were you only covering the event or covering the CEO of the Blackwoods Conglomerate?” Maggie said, bluntly. “What do you mean?” I asked, I wiped my eyes with my hands as I sat upri

Chapter: Chapter Three: The Cold Treatment Elena’s POV The bed felt so soft, the smell from the bed sheet smelt different. I rolled over, the bed quite bigger than the bed I was used to. My hands slowly pat the empty side of the bed only to feel pillows, as I turned, a sharp beam of light flashes through the curtains poking my eyes. I squinted immediately, my hands rubbing my eyes. I turned to see a man standing by the window side at the other end. I looked at the room, taking it all in. The large floor to ceiling window was draped in expensive curtains and the room was large enough to contain five king size beds. By the corner of the room was a mini bar with all kinds of wines in stock. I turned, my eyes darting towards the empty wine glass on the bed side table, a half burnt cigarette and a half filled glass of wine. My gaze went back to the man standing by the window. He was adjusting his cufflinks, he stood there not bothered by my obvious confusion. I tried to recall what happened but my head aches, it suddenly felt he

Chapter: Chapter Two: The One Night Stand Elena's POV The kiss started as an accident, a brief brush of lips fueled by too much wine and something unspoken in the air between us. But the second one—that wasn’t a mistake. That was deliberate. Slow.Adrian’s hand curled around the back of my neck, drawing me closer. His lips moved against mine with a confidence that made my stomach clench. I could taste the wine on his tongue, warm and heady, mixing with my own.I should have pulled away. Should have remembered who he was, where we were. But logic was a distant whisper, drowned out by the thundering of my pulse.Somewhere in the background, a polite cough broke through the haze. I pulled back slightly, my breath coming too fast, my skin too hot.Adrian’s gaze was heavy-lidded, unreadable. “Let’s get out of here,” he murmured.A warning bell rang faintly in the back of my mind, but it was overpowered by the way his fingers traced slow, deliberate circles against my thigh.I exhaled shakily. “Where?”His lips curved into a smirk

Chapter: Chapter One: Our First EncounterElena's POV The hall was filled with notable figures from across New York City. Within these halls, golden chandeliers hung above casting a warm glow of yellow light on the guests beneath it, a contrast to the dark blue light outside the night sky of New York City. At every corner, men and women in tailored suits and designer gowns—worth more than my rent—moved in effortless conversation, champagne glasses poised between manicured fingers.I stood at the other end, my hand smoothing my skirt and my other hand positioning the ID card hung on my neck. Elena Carter Journalist New York Times My gaze fell to the ID on my neck, I felt so proud. I had worked hard for this. A few years ago, I was running around every corner of New York City searching for stories that would make a good headline but now here I am, I was even invited to give a speech at the opening charity event where all notable elites from across the city were invited.Meanwhile, as I was drowning in my thoughts a familia
