The Ruthless CEO'S Chosen Wife

The Ruthless CEO'S Chosen Wife

Michelle Davenport has always been invisible—overshadowed by her twin sister, Millie, and used as a pawn in her family’s business dealings. When her parents arrange her marriage for profit, she prepares for another sacrifice. But fate intervenes, and she finds herself engaged to Raymond Hawthorne—a ruthless billionaire who needs a wife to appease his family. It’s supposed to be a contract, nothing more. But as Michelle steps into Raymond’s world of wealth, power, and deception, everything changes. The cold CEO starts to notice her, protect her, and make her feel wanted for the first time in her life. Just as she dares to believe in something real, Millie sets her sights on Raymond, determined to steal him for herself. Betrayal, jealousy, and unexpected love turn their arrangement into something far more dangerous—especially when Michelle discovers she’s carrying Raymond’s children. Now, she must fight for herself, for love, and for the family she never had. Will she finally claim her happiness, or will she once again lose everything to the sister who always took it all? The Ruthless CEO’s Chosen Wife is a gripping billionaire romance filled with passion, power plays, and a heroine’s journey from being weak and unwanted to finding love, strength, and the life she deserves.

Chapter: CHAPTER 215
The next morning, Michelle found herself sitting on the edge of their bed, gazing out at the New York skyline. The sun was rising, gently painting the city pink and gold. Her phone was on her lap, buzzing with messages, but she couldn't bring herself to look at them. The heavy decision she had to make felt like a storm cloud hanging over her. She had spent the night wide awake, thinking through every scenario, feeling torn between choices. Raymond, who had been up for a while, entered the room carrying two cups of coffee. Normally, his presence calmed her, but today her anxiety remained. He noticed her troubled look, placed the cups on the nightstand, and sat beside her without needing to ask what was wrong. Michelle, he began softly, I can see that this decision is hard on you. You don't have to do this by yourself. Turning to him, she managed a faint smile. It's like I'm being pulled between two parts of my life—my career and my family. How do you even start to choose? Raymond ge

Chapter: CHAPTER 214
Michelle had a busy day, surrounded by a lot of activity. She spent hours at the studio, making sure everything was ready for a project that meant a lot to her. Finally, she felt like she could move past the pressure of upcoming design awards and her rivalry with Elena Harper. But just as she was about to head home, her phone buzzed..It was a message from her assistant, Clara: Congratulations, Michelle! You’re a finalist for the Young Architect’s Award! Michelle's heart skipped a beat. This was the recognition she had worked so hard for, every single day. She had imagined this moment many times, but now that it was happening, it seemed both exciting and a bit frightening. Was this the point she had been working toward, or was it just the start of something more challenging? Raymond, who was nearby, gently put a hand on her shoulder and smiled. He had been her rock through all the late nights and the difficulties with Elena. Congratulations, he said with pride in his voice. I always

Chapter: CHAPTER 213
Michelle stood frozen in the hallway, overwhelmed by anxiety. The portfolio she held felt like a heavy burden that could destroy everything she had worked so hard to achieve. There was no doubt the designs were hers. The style, detailed craftsmanship, and unique touch clearly reflected her creativity. But why would someone steal her designs? And more importantly, who would do such a thing? Raymond’s voice interrupted her thoughts. Let’s sit down and review this thoroughly. We’ll figure this out. Michelle nodded, her heart pounding. As they moved to the living room, she felt like her entire future was on the line. She had come such a long way—establishing a successful studio, gaining recognition, and being nominated for the Young Architect’s Award. But now, it seemed someone was trying to take it all away. Raymond sat next to her, placing his hand gently on her knee to show support. We’ll get to the bottom of this, Michelle. You’ve put in too much effort to let someone ruin your achi

Chapter: CHAPTER 212
The morning sun streamed through the windows, filling the living room with gentle, golden light. Michelle sat at the kitchen counter, stirring her coffee absentmindedly, lost in her own thoughts. The calm of the morning around her felt strange against the storm of emotions she was feeling inside. For the first time in a long time, she felt unsure of herself. The news of being nominated for the Young Architect’s Award was starting to feel real, and it brought a wave of self-doubt. Could she really meet everyone’s expectations? What if she wasn't as talented as people thought? She shook her head, trying to push those thoughts aside. She had worked hard, maybe even harder than she ever had before. Davenport Studio was thriving, her designs were getting noticed, and she had Raymond, whose steady presence always made things feel more manageable and possible. Raymond walked into the kitchen and immediately picked up on her mood. When he saw her staring into her coffee, her mind clearly els

Chapter: CHAPTER 211
The morning sun poured through the windows, softly lighting up the large living room. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the space as Michelle sat at the kitchen counter with a warm mug in her hands. She was lost in thoughts about the future, the impact of her grandmother's words still strong in her heart. It felt as though the world was unfolding before her, offering a clear path forward. Michelle had made her decision. Davenport Studio was no longer just a dream—it was her next step, her legacy. Her work with Adrien Vale had been eye-opening, and over the past weeks, they had carefully crafted their plans. Adrien had become not just a business partner but a mentor, encouraging Michelle to reach new levels while remaining true to herself. Looking forward to the studio's grand opening, Michelle found it hard to believe how far she had come. The foundation was strong, and everything seemed to be coming together perfectly. Yet, beyond the studio, there seemed to be something el

Chapter: CHAPTER 210
The night wrapped around their home like a soft, comforting blanket. When Michelle held the ring Raymond gave her, she felt a surge of emotions. The diamond sparkled in the candlelight, as if the universe was celebrating with her. As she examined the ring, she noticed a small, unique gem in the center. It glowed with a magical light beyond a regular diamond. Looking at Raymond with her heart beating fast, she began to understand. Raymond, she whispered, her voice trembling. Where did you find this? Raymond smiled softly, touching her face. It's from your grandmother's necklace, he said gently. I had it made for you. It's more than just jewelry. It symbolizes your roots and the strength of your family. Henry sent it. Michelle's eyes widened. The gem was part of her grandmother's cherished necklace, a piece she loved since childhood. It reminded her of love, strength, and resilience. Though her grandmother passed away years ago, her memory lived on through their shared stories and the
