Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 12 - Unwanted Jealousy
Edmund never liked nor sympathized with weaklings. Being resilient and unbreakable were family traits, teachings inoculated in his behavior from a young age. Therefore, it was understandable to be grueling for him to see Isabella so weak, yet there was something about her that made his protective instincts explode.Watching her laying in the bed, so innocent and vulnerable, but so exhausted, it was difficult to digest, it made him want to do the impossible to make it better for her.She was not frail when she fought against his accusations, she was not insecure either when she discarded his marriage proposal so many times. She was not actually weak, she was just a concerned sister, Luisa was the only family she had left.Well… except him. He was now her husband, her family, and he would have to explain that to her very clearly.‘She is not alone anymore, she has me. Would she faint like this if I were the one in danger, would she cry?’“If I would not know the mighty Edmund better, I
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 13 - Taste Of Heaven
‘To tell the truth, I was baffled by Isabella’s reaction to my cousin’s presence from the very first minute. The gracious and good-natured Isabella acted like an unmannered cold woman, yet I blamed it on the stress, she has been through a lot lately.’Judging from Isabella’s earlier reaction, Edmund thought it might be more to it. He examined her face trying to understand what was going on in that pretty little head of hers.‘Was that jealousy?’Part of him wished he had teased her more, if jealousy was on the table. He was curious of the reaction she would have had if he had brought another woman there with them.“I ask you again, who did you think she was?” He confronted her, it was very important to know what she was feeling.“I--.” She sighed, gazing at him with pure and innocent eyes, breathtakingly beautiful. “I thought she was your--” She paused looking aside. “Lover.” Her voice was low.She was blushing and he was glad he was the reason for the red color on her cheeks.He inwa
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 14 - Temptation
Edmund’s brain malfunctioned the second his lips molded with hers, even though he had never forgotten about his plans to take revenge on her for Luisa’s actions. In spite of that, he could not remember the last time he was so weak for a woman, if ever.Her lips tasted like magic bliss, a sweet intoxicating flavor that tricked him into believing he had touched paradise. ‘I hate to admit this, but she is turning me on to the point that I could easily forget where we are. I could strip her naked and have her right here, in this car, in the parking lot.’The shyness in her gaze when he placed her body in such a compromising position undid him in every single possible way, everything completely disappeared around them, and the only one he had eyes for was Isabella.‘Her shivering body only adds to the fucking torture!’ It took all his self-composure not to act on his raw desires to take her roughly and more wildly than she could handle. ‘Fuck, she was a walking temptation from the firs
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 15 - Forbidden Fruit
Reality hit her like thunder and lightning all together, her knees grew too weak to support her body. It was really happening, she was there, in his home, as his wife.‘This is crazy, how did this happen?’“Elaine, please take my wife, Isabella, to our room.” He gave instructions to the middle-aged woman dressed in a housekeeper uniform that welcomed them.Isabella inspected the place with her eyes frantically, her brain trying to take in as much as possible as her pulse was rushing in an unprecedented way.“I will join you after I take a call in my office.” Casually revealing to her, Edmund crashed his lips on her forehead, squeezing her shoulders.She closed her eyes and let out a moan, his small stunt forced her to press her legs together to lessen the dazzling thirst from earlier unfinished business.“At this hour?” She poured it out before realizing that she might sound somewhat impatient and probably jealous, which was entirely false, of course.‘Why would I be jealous? Yet whom
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 16 - Her First
‘So this is how a God must look like!’The tingling sensation from her sensitive part was intensifying to the point that she could not take it anymore, her whole figure was trembling with desire, the hunger in his regard was making her weak and needy.‘I find it rather unfair for him to have this kind of power over me.’His soul sucking eyes traveled over her body and she could almost feel his blazing gaze caressing her skin.‘I can sense his hands touching me even if they are not near me, if that makes any sort of logic. I must be going crazy!’His eyes traveled slowly, increasing her cravings until they landed on the upper part of her legs. After she came out of shower while he was still in his office, she put on a night gown that was waiting for her in the closet, one that had far too little fabric for her taste, but so were the others from which she had to choose. He edged near her with fluid grace, but at the same time with the demeanor of a warrior that had never lost a battle,
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 17 - Lies
Isabella woke up alone, scanning the room with her eyes for proofs that the previous night was not just a very steamy and highly gratifying dream, but there was no need to check the surroundings, parts of her body were still sensitive from the generous amount of sex they had, making her wonder if she could even walk.Her lips shaped into a silly smile, she covered her face with both her hands, embarrassment flooded her figure. For the first time in her life, she was genuinely happy, and the feeling was pretty unexpected.‘For God’s sake, how am I supposed to face him now?’ She giggled. ‘I never expected us to make love with such hunger and passion, his enticing talents made me feel as if I traveled to the moon and back.’Part of her was scared that he had second doubts. Another part was ashamed that upon meeting the deep ocean color of his eyes, her mind would recreate the blissful experience, and she would die of embarrassment. He was a great lover, she could tell.‘Practice makes i
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 18 - Love Of His Life
They had a lovely breakfast, but Isabella could feel that something was off, even if he assured her it wasn’t.She knew that he was worried about the plane incident and his brother, and probably his business that he neglected the last few days, but somehow, she sensed that there was something more, something else that he was hiding, keeping her in the dark.‘Perhaps he regrets the night we spent together.’Her heart twisted at the mere thought, she swallowed her saliva and gazed at him as they sat in the limo on their way to hospital.Watching him so lost in his thoughts, she took the opportunity of him glancing off the window to study his virile and imposing features again. She did not know how other people saw him, but she found the man to be very appealing. She could drown in the shadowy blue pool of his eyes every day, she could play with his dark messy hair forever, or she could even melt into his vigorous arms.‘Last night, he was a freaking mouthwatering beast, my skin is burn
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 19 - Stories Of The Past
Edmund was shocked to the core. Not even once it crossed his mind that his father could be behind Regina’s departure. He never mentioned that he disliked her. She was not from the upper class, but she came from a good family, she went to Harvard and graduated top of her class.James Stark always had a soft spot for strong women and Regina seemed to have won a place in his heart, he used to call her Edmund’s ‘asset’, something simply did not add up.‘Would my father have liked Isabella? She might have cried an unreasonable amount of time, but as sure as hell she confronted me the way only a champion would.’In fact, she was the first and probably last person that had the audacity to do it, so his father would have approved of her, he was certain.But to return to the current situation, his eyes searched for answers only Regina could provide, his father was dead and a dead man could not spill secrets.“Please believe that I loved you. I still love you. Please believe that it broke my he

Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 41 - Last Chapter
Isabella turned paper white pale when she locked eyes with the one she missed dearly, her heartbeats accelerated, her pulse started running wild. She blinked a few times, believing that she might be hallucinating. ‘Is he really here, in front of me?’ She waited for him the first days, she hoped, she really hoped that he would follow her to the UK, but with each day that passed, her faith subsided, he never even contacted her since she left. The more she thought about it, the more she concluded it was absolutely outrageous that he behaved as if they were mere strangers. Perhaps they were, but they still shared, even for a few days, the same last name, and not to mention the intimate moments. She was hurt, disappointed and ashamed for being so silly, so weak. Edmund forgot how to breathe when his eyes found the one that stole his heart in a matter of days, the one he never stopped thinking about, the same one that was the subject of both his worries and his fantasies. “You look
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 40 - Heartbreak
Edmund left soon after they had breakfast. Isabella was not only feeling disappointed, she was suffering a heartbreak. She knew they could not have been more different from the very beginning, and she was aware that sooner or later they were bound to follow their own separate paths, yet she was still unprepared for the painful sensation his words triggered in her body.‘Was this what fate had in store for me? To encounter the man of my dreams, have him and then lose him in a matter of days?’Not even for a split second did she regret meeting him, or for what it mattered, signing that contract, but it was clear for her that he did not think the same.There were too many things left unsaid between the two of them, and now it was too late to talk, he decided to send her away. It troubled her to the bones that after having such an exquisite night, he was so keen to get rid of her without a proper conversation. She had burned for him, and he claimed her as his own, tending to her needs o
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 39 - Blueberry Pancakes
Isabella slowly removed her robe and her nightgown, then peeled off her underwear. When her clothes hit the floor, she stepped out, pushing them aside. Standing naked in front of him and without breaking eye contact, she spoke in a heated voice. “I changed my mind! I’m going to take advantage of you after all!”‘This woman will be the death of me.’She was the most beautiful woman that walked on this earth for him, her curves were to die for and the innocence in her eyes undid him in every possible way from the start.Edmund’s lips shaped into a devious smile. “What about the poor sexual performance?”She stepped into the shower and as soon as the cold water hit her warm skin, she shivered both in cold and in delight. Her nipples hardened under his lustful regard, and she could feel herself growing wet between her legs.“Well, you seem like you have sobered up a little!”He adjusted the temperature of the water to a more convenient one and pushed her against the wall, turning her aro
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 38 - In The Spur Of The Moment
At a first class lounge, waiting for Jason to arrive, Edmund was sipping from his ridiculously expensive, neat scotch, silently reprimanding himself for being such a major idiot. He always thought highly of himself, but the last events shook him off. Firstly, he failed to read into Moira’s façade. All that time, he was clueless. He was being fooled by a half-baked girl. Or was he the weak-minded one? She surely knew her game better than him.He loved her the way he would have loved a younger sister, but she stabbed him in the back and he never saw it coming.‘I wonder if this is what some parents feel about their children.’ He sighed. ‘My name brings instant fear to those who hear it and there I was, outplayed by a kid.’Secondly, there was Luisa. He accused her of taking advantage of his brother’s love to gain a slice of his vast wealth. Then he blamed her for causing an accident that nearly killed her as well. And to top it all off, he pressured her sister to sign an atrocious marr
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 37 - A Way Out
Out of nowhere, and just before all the energy dropped from Isabella’s body, just when she was about to give up, she heard a loud bang followed by the door removal from the hinges. Her eyes flapped in the direction of the sound. ‘Edmund.’Edmund, accompanied by an entire team of policemen, stepped inside, and one of them shot Alec in the hand, forcing him to release the hold on her neck. She gasped for air.“Isabella!” The entire place echoed with her husband’s powerful voice.Her heart threatened to escape her chest as he rushed to her, untied her hands and lifted her body in his arms, staring at her with his sky-color soul sucking eyes. “Are you hurt?” He asked, checking her with his eyes. She shook her head and buried her face in his chest, inhaling his enticing masculine scent.‘I truly believed I would never be able to do this again!’ She rejoiced, holding tight to him.Fear was rushing in Edmund’s veins, inflaming his anger. “I thought I was losing my fucking mind without yo
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 36 - Too Late
“Moira!?” Isabella blinked nervously. “W-what are you doing here? W-why are you doing this?” She struggled to free herself, but the more she tried, the more she hurt her hands in the process.Moira glanced at her nail polish, looking bored. “I have many reasons, darling!”“B-but you are Edmund’s cousin. He really cares about you!” Fright and confusion heated her face. “You took care of my sister and Noah the night I arrived.”She smirked. “No, I was actually trying to find a moment to finish what Alec and I started and failed. Too bad the hospital surveillance was damn tight.”Isabella was choking on her tears, thinking Moira was too good of an actress. While she always had a weird gut sensation regarding Alec, she trusted Moira completely. She never had a clue about her schemes, she was such a good liar that it scared her. “What about the love story you shared with me?” She inquired, studying both villains. “Ohh, that? Of course, I made that up! Why are you so naive, Isabella?” “B

“Let me go!” Isabella shouted from the top of her lungs. She was struggling to release her hands from the ropes encaging them behind her back. It was useless, there was no result other than making her feel all weak and pathetic. “W-what is this place? And what are you talking about? M-my sister is fine!” Her voice was breaking as her heart thundered erratically against her chest.‘Luisa must be safe! Please, God, let my sister be safe!’Alec checked his watch and shook his head in disapproval. “By this time, my most trusted and highly skilled man should have already embarked your sister and Edmund’s brother on their trip to Hell, or Heaven, it really depends.” His lips shaped into a devious grin while speaking nonsense.“W-what? No, that’s not true!” She screamed, panic invading her already shivering figure.“Oh, trust me on that!” He assured her, full of confidence. “They were trouble, how dare they survive the car accident that I perfectly plotted, raising no suspicion at all!” H
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 34 - Kidnapped
Edmund was pacing anxiously around the room, making holes in the floor. He dialed Isabella's number again, but there was no connection. He got word that she left the hospital hours ago, so he honestly expected her to be home by then, yet she wasn’t, and for some odd reason he could not explain, he felt very uneasy.‘Did she not read my note? Did she not watch that fucking video?’He was so delighted when one of the nurses called to let him know that she ate everything on the plate before leaving. He was so glad that he rushed the meeting he had and speeded home, only to be faced with disappointment.At least to his satisfaction, Regina was already gone when he got here, she spared him of her dire and tremendously undesired presence. He loved her so much only to have his heart broken twice, first when she abandoned him, second when his brother confessed everything about the ten million dollars the cunning bitch preferred instead of him.‘The fucking bitch!’ He muttered a string of cur
Claimed By The Ruthless CEO Chapter 33 - Truth
Isabella’s senses were on high alert, yet she tried not to panic, nothing good was bound to come from that. “I am back. Alec, where are you? Alec?” She heard Moira’s voice outside along with footsteps, and she released the breath she did not realize that she was holding.Ales loosened the grip on her shoulder and opened the door. “I am in here, with Isabella, she needs her bag and tablet.”“But I left them in the living room.” Moira replied confused.His body stiffened suddenly. “I must have moved them with my luggage, my bad.”Isabella got a weird gut reaction being all alone with him in the suite and the fact that Edmund’s cousin returned lifted the suffocating burden from her chest.Watching the happy couple together made her feel that she panicked for nothing. Moira looked at him as if he was the only man on earth and he gazed at her the way one would gaze at their soulmate, that person that one could not live without.‘Why is my body responding like that when he is around?’Isa
