Chapter 41 - Last Chapter

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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.

    ‘God, he’s freaking handsome!’ Isabella was practically drooling, staring shamelessly at the stranger that entered the second-rate diner where she worked four days a week, and where she also spent the rest of her free time. On this occasion, she was there for lunch, but it was practically her home and she knew that he didn’t belong there, a five-star Michelin restaurant seemed more like the type that would satisfy him.Naturally, he piqued her interest. He had soul-sucking eyes, that mind-blowing color of storming ocean on a cloudy day. The kind of day one would spend at home in bed, making love. Dark and messy hair, outrageous sensual plump lips and a very manly jawline that could compel one to stare at him, with no control of oneself whatsoever. Strong, heavily built body so obvious underneath his Armani suit, which was no doubt custom made.He glanced at his limited-edition Rolex with reproving eyes, inwardly cursing at the one who was probably late for the meeting. ‘Who would

    “Is Luisa hurt?” Her sore regard made his insides shatter, her eyes now of a darker shade.“She is still in one piece!”Edmund watched as her face grew paper white pale, the color of her cheeks dripping instantly upon hearing his words. A myriad of emotions was crossing her beautiful features, as if she is picturing the worst possible scenarios. He muttered a string of curses at himself, silently reprimanding himself for not being gentler. He should not have broken the news to her like that.‘Why the fuck am I thinking this? My plan was to shock her in every possible way, causing her suffering beyond repair.’“What do you mean? Tell me what happened!” She demanded.He opened the door to his car for her, the driver gave him a peculiar look. He never touched the doors, moreover hold them for somebody else. He fired a cold glare to the driver, forcing him to look the other side, his figure of self-reproach.‘Yes, people fucking fear me. A lot. One word of mine is their command. I get i

    Isabella was walking to the helicopter with a tight heart, second thoughts were filling her mind to the point that she was about to be sick to her stomach. Her entire life flashed before her eyes, for no reason in particular.She lived a pretty dull one, dating a guy that tried to took advantage of her family tragedy, her vulnerability, to lure her into prostitution. After that, she promised to do everything in her power to avoid catching feelings.Not that there was any chance to flourish some sort of infatuation for Edmund. Never.Her sister. She was the sole reason she was doing that last minute trip, not the man that walked beside her at that moment, although he could upstage male celebrities and even Gods, for what it counted. Surely every man she met before and considered handsome until then was just put in the shade in comparison, but he was not getting a place in her mind or heart, the health of her sister was her sole concern.Without a doubt, that was probably the craziest

  • Claimed By The Ruthless CEO   Chapter 4 - Distracted

    While waiting for Edmund in his private plane, Isabella’s mind traveled to their recent discussion. Even if it hurt her to admit it, he read her right, he was entirely accurate.It’s always been her dream to travel the world, but she'd barely set foot outside Madrid. She had her motives, but probably none legit or unshakable, some were just lame excuses.“Do you need anything? A meal was ordered for you in advance, we can serve it to you now or a bit later, whenever you feel like eating.” The smiling face along with the polite tone of the flight assistant broke her train of thought.“Meal?” She narrowed her eyes and shook her head in disagreement, at no point with the intention of being mannerless. “No, I’ve eaten recently, I’m not hungry, thank you!” She added, forcing a smile in response to the cordial proposal.If she believed it was considerate of him to arrange everything from transportation to meals, hosting, clothing, it would be her little secret.A warm smile made its way on

    Agonizing fear invaded Isabella’s body when the plane started spinning. The world seemed to come to an end and she was about to die alone, in a way few experienced, and none lived to tell, to share the emotions and the thoughts or the images that invaded their brain in their last minutes of life.It was not the sort of knowledge that would have been of help to any extent, but tears were soaking her cheeks as she cried her heart away.She had no dear person she would hate to leave behind, except maybe for her sister, even though in the last years they haven’t had much of a contact. Maybe Luisa will not make it either and she will never find out about her awful death. Maybe they would meet on the other side, if there was such a thing, she couldn’t know for sure.There was no lover who would miss her when weekends came and he would have to sing in his car alone, while going on short trips around the country.No husband who would yearn for her while making the bed at night or having brea

  • Claimed By The Ruthless CEO   Chapter 6 - Audacious Proposal

    Dizzy from the shock, Isabella’s mind replayed the scenes where his mouth was on hers, she gently touched it. All the spots on her skin that made contact with his hands were still tingling with hot lust, every inch of her body tormented with some kind of biological urge that never hit her like that before. She blamed it on the fact that she was still a virgin and also didn’t use her sex toys since a while.Those were the reasons most certainly, not the fact that she had been craving to have a taste of the man from the moment she set her eyes on him in that third-rate diner.That was surely not the case.What happened a few minutes earlier was the result of a plausible set of circumstances, life and death situations can provide justifications even for the most unrealistic course of events.Would it have happened if not for the fear of death? Probably not.Stopping the time in the moment that their lips collided would have been gratification ordained by gods, she allowed herself to bel

    ‘No, he did not, he couldn’t have, I refuse to believe this. Did he?’ Isabella was in denial. He couldn’t have said those horrible things, she must have been imagining them, the shock was to be held liable for that sort of malfunction of her brain. Taking all factors into consideration, the distress from the last hours could be the foundation of these inconceivable thoughts of her. She glanced at him in bewilderment, uncertain if her short memory, the one that replicated his speech in her mind, was unblemished or if the panic of a viable airplane ordeal and the other incidents that followed altered it beyond cure. “What did you just say?” She inquired, being optimistic that it was all just a gloomy hallucination. “I said that you are to marry into the mighty Stark family. Although you are clearly not my type, you are to become my wife, a place coveted by the entire female population pertaining to the high society and by all the other women that strive to achieve a place in the wo

    It happened again, Edmund’s analytical thoughts went astray after the lower side of her abdomen came in contact with his hard member, throbbing through the pants as it did all day long, threatening to escape and forge ahead to the most coveted place on Earth, her inner part.Like the world came to a halt, he felt nothing else, nothing but the shockingly heavy slap on his face she gave after he advanced that damn request to her, a proposition he believed to have been totally entitled to push forward.Clearly, she disagreed. He touched his face, it stung. It was the first time a woman slapped him, so it felt rather interesting. ‘She should beg me. She should!’Every other woman would have blatantly offered herself to him, doing whatever things necessary to benefit from a single touch from his part.‘Why would she be any different? God, how I’ve yearned to hear those fucking words!’Instead, after slapping him, she left his side, retiring in the sleeping area.If only she would have sa

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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
