Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 28
They ended up having a late dinner. Amber could not stop Devlin from taking her over and over again. He was too strong for her. Besides, she must admit that she enjoyed every fiery moment they shared together. By the time they get to the kitchen, she was all red from the teasing smiles Devlin was throwing at her. She kept rolling her eyes at him. “What?!” She asked one time when she couldn't take anymore the teasing smile of Devlin. “Wife, I am sorry about all those marks all over you.” She only gave her a half-hearted angry look. “But I never regretted how I made those marks.” Amber was cherry-red from what he just said. “Devlin, will you knock it off? Are you going to eat or no more of your naughty…?” He immediately looked at her wide-eyed. He could not believe that she was giving him a warning. “Fine! Let’s eat, wife. What do you want to do after dinner?” Amber only raised her eyebrow at him. ‘Didn’t he know the time right now? It is almost midnight!’ “I don’t think there i

Amber was surprised how Devlin candidly opened up about his feelings towards his relationship with Raven. He looks much better now compared to the previous weeks where he was desperate to get back with Raven. She is not sure what changed his mind. She does not want to assume that it has something to do with their relationship now. Amber is not assured of whatever they have. Devlin shows her so many actions and words that she thinks that they are doing good. But she also understands that just weeks ago, things were definitely not fine with them. She shivered just thinking about the past. She just wants to find if Devlin shares those same feelings with her.“By the way, I almost forgot something.” He stood up to get something from his suitcase that he left in the living room earlier. He gently pulled Amber with him out of the entertainment room.“Here, this is an invitation letter.” Devlin handed her the card he got from Raven and his brother. “What is this?” Amber asked out of curiosi

Amber went to the restroom and immediately went inside the cubicle. The moment she finished and got out, she saw Devlin’s mother. She was staring blankly at her from the mirror. She forced herself to smile at her. She knows that his mom dislikes her for her son. “Ms. Adams, I know this is not the right place to talk about things that should have been addressed in private. However, I am asking you to please leave my son alone. I am sure you know what’s going on within the family.” Amber was left speechless for a while. How can she leave Devlin? She could have done that a long time ago when she asked him to let her go and not proceed with the wedding. Right now, she does not have the heart to leave Devlin especially because she is bound to him not only by papers. She is bound to him with all of her heart and being. How can she leave him now that he means a lot to her? “Mrs. Wesley, I hope we could talk together with Devlin. I am not the only one in this relationship.” She said politel

Flashback…When Amber left, Devlin went back to the party. He wanted to come with her but she kept pushing him to stay. He relented at the end but he could not stop himself from getting worried about her. However, he also does not want to cause any issues between them. The moment the car drove away, he decided to get back to the party. He will stay for an hour more, then he will also go home.It was a bit dark from where Devlin is. All the lights came from the back of the house. He suddenly bumped into someone. He heard the groan of pain from a woman’s voice. He tried to help her get up but she couldn’t.“Please, just help me to the living room. I could not stand on my feet. I must have sprained my right foot.” Said the woman whose face could not be seen clearly from Devlin’s side. “I am sorry. I didn’t see you walking to my side. Damn…I don’t understand why Dalton left a few lights here.” He could have not bumped into her or the other way around. Now, he had to help her.“First, we

Fate seemed to have other plans for them that night. Something unexpected happened while they both reached the pinnacle of their desires.Amber stiffened when Devlin just blurted out with his slurred voice… “I love you… Raven.” It kept replaying in her head over and over again. It shattered her into pieces. It shattered the fragile bond that they were both trying to form. Or were they trying to do that? On her part, she was doing that to make their marriage work. But what of Devlin? He just said the one single word that deeply left a mark in her heart. Devlin’s momentary lapse of control made him regretful. In his intoxicated haze, his lips betrayed him. He realized his huge mistake and immediately wrapped her arms around Amber’s trembling body. He cupped her face to look at her. He wanted to explain. He never meant to say Raven’s name. He saw the hurt look on her face but she was not crying at all. Her mind must be somewhere else, digesting what he just said. And he just wanted to

It has been three days since that fateful night. Amber has not spoken to Devlin about that night. She remained quiet and only answered when asked about trivial questions.Devlin stayed in the penthouse with her hoping that he could fix things with them. He has not reported to his company for two days. However, he needs to go today since there is an important meeting with the shareholders. He does not want to leave Amber without even fixing the problem he created. He still regretted that every single moment.“Baby, I need to go to the office today. When I get back, we have to talk about what happened. Please give me a chance, baby.” Again, she did not respond to him except to nod her head. Devlin had to scratch his nape. He is getting frustrated from her continued silence. He has been trying to be patient with her. He had to because it was his fault in the first place. Every time he remembers that moment, he just wanted to hurt himself. That was a very beautiful moment for them. But h

Meanwhile, Devlin was so busy in his company. He just finished a very important meeting with his shareholders. He was even surprised to see that Fiona Ross was in the meeting. She has never attended any meeting for the shareholders simply because she is not a shareholder in his company. He found out later on that one of his shareholders is a distant relative to the Ross’ family. She came to represent the shareholder who was on a business trip. What he didn’t know was that Fiona convinced that distant relative to come on behalf of him. She wanted to have an excuse to see Devlin again. Although, she can readily come to his office. However, she wanted to appear like she was not chasing him.After the meeting, she went to see Devlin in his office. She really wanted to have him in any way possible.“Hey Mr. Wesley, how are you doing? You left me last time.” She said, while pouting. She is wearing a black tight pencil skirt and a white sleeveless shirt that shows a deep cleavage. She added

Devlin was sitting on Amber’s bed, hands on his face. He could not understand where she would go at this time. He has been waiting for more than an hour for her since he came back home. Worst of all, he could not contact her phone. He grabbed one of her pillows and just smelled it. He is afraid to think about what she might have done. He specifically told her early in the morning that he wants them to talk tonight. He stood up and checked her closet for anything. He could not find anything in there. Then, he noticed the folded paper on top of the vanity table. He did not notice it earlier. He immediately opened it. I have to leave before I lose my sanity. I can’t be with you anymore. Whatever you have to say, just save it please. It will not fix whatever pains your words have brought me. Even your actions proved that I was just a pastime. Someone that you could use and discard after readily. By the way, I gave everything that I got from Grandma Olivia. You can take care of that wit

Fated to the Ruthless CEO Epilogue
Two months had passed since they found out that she was pregnant and Amber had been living in sheer bliss. She had nothing but praise for her husband who had been extraordinarily loving, patient, and understanding with her throughout this period. In the past two months, so many significant events have unfolded. First, Devlin’s father and brother were both acquitted of their cases. It was uncovered that everything had been orchestrated by Harrison. Then, Raven gave birth to a healthy baby boy, filling their lives with so much joy. At marmee’s request, they visited Harrison in jail. Despite the problems he had caused, Amber held hope that he would eventually find the peace he had long been searching for. In her heart, she had already forgiven him, and Devlin shared the same sentiment. Harrison broke down when he saw Amelia after several decades. His initial intention had been to see her before he discovered that Amber was her granddaughter. It was Olivia who told him that Amelia has

Two weeks later, Devlin rushed towards the entrance of the emergency room. “Where is my wife, Amber Wesley?” He anxiously inquired of a passing nurse on his way to the emergency room.“This way, sir,” the nurse replied, her voice filled with reassurance. “How is she doing? Is she alright?” He hadn’t had the chance to ask marmee earlier when he received her frantic call from his office. She had only mentioned that Amber was bleeding, and he couldn’t make out the rest of what marmee had tried to convey. Without hesitation, he had left his office and sprinted to the hospital where his wife was. “Sir, the doctor will provide you with an update shortly.” The nurse led him to a curtained area. There, he saw his wife lying on a hospital bed, with marmee appearing deeply worried by her side.“Marmee, what happened?” He rushed to her side, wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace. Then, he turned his attention to Amber, who managed to give him a weak smile. “She slipped on the floor

Amber and marmee were busy preparing the table for dinner. They had just finished cooking, with the head cook and maids lending a hand. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of delicious dishes, and the table was adorned with an array of culinary delights. It was a feast fit for a celebration. “I am so glad I learned something great from the family who adopted me.” Amelia said out of the blue. Growing up with a family who enjoyed cooking, she was able to learn their special family recipes and now she can pass it all to her granddaughter. “I am happy for you, marmee. I definitely learned a lot of things from you.” Amber went to hug her grandmother. Then, marmee went on to say something while looking at her granddaughter with a twinkle in her eye. “Tonight’s dinner feels more like a celebration for both you and Devlin,” she remarked with a sly grin, then added, “ Maybe ‘it’s time for you to start working on my great-grandchild, dear.” Devlin, standing nearby, couldn’t help but chime

Amber was lounging by the pool when she felt a tender kiss on her forehead. It was, of course, none other than her husband, Devlin. He had left early in the morning, promising to return for lunch, and true to his word, he had.“Hey babe, what are you doing here all alone? Where’s marmee?” Devlin’s gaze swept the area, noting that only a few bodyguards were roaming around. He had purged their security detail after the recent incident. “Oh marmee? She went out for grocery shopping. She insisted on preparing dinner tonight,” Amber replied. She had urged her grandmother earlier to leave the grocery shopping to the maids, but it seemed marmee was too restless to do nothing. She had grown accustomed to life on the farm. “That’s fine, babe. They will help marmee in cooking.” Devlin was referring to the head cook and the maids. “Besides, we have visitors coming tonight.” Amber looked at Devlin with curiosity.“It’s Agent Smith and Abby. I know you've been eager to hear about what happened.

Amber awoke in an unfamiliar, white room. Her confusion mounted as she struggled to recall why she was there. Suddenly, a rush of memories flooded her mind. It became evident that she was in a hospital room. She scanned her surroundings but found no one present.She didn’t have to wait long though as Devlin soon entered the room, a warm smile on his face. He had just stepped out to collect some homemade food prepared by their head cook, along with a selection of fresh fruits.“Hey, baby, I’m glad you’re awake now. Is everything okay?” he asked, crossing the room to embrace his wife who wore a troubled look. Amber tried to sit up but winced in pain.“Take it easy, please. Your body is still recovering.” He helped Amber sit up more comfortably.“I am okay, just a bit sore.” Amber said, trying to smile to reassure her husband. “How long have I slept for?” She got curious since she remembered that it was in the morning when that incident happened. However, she could see that it was still

Inside the mansion, Attorney Harrison and Amber slowly descended the grand staircase with a heavy silence hanging over them. Amber’s heart raced, anxiety coursing through her veins. She faltered on the last step, her trembling legs betraying her. “Don’t make any stupid moves,” Attorney Harrison hissed, his grip on her tightening. “You’re my only ticket out of this hellhole.”Amber scanned the room as they moved forward, her eyes catching the hushed movements of the police officers who were waiting to the sides, giving way for them to exit. The tension in the air was evident, everyone keenly aware of the volatile situation. Every step was a careful calculation, every decision weighed against the risk of the hostage getting hurt.Amber’s gaze locked onto Abby and Agent Smith, standing off to the side but poised with their guns. Their expressions etched with worry and determination. Amber couldn’t help but wonder where Devlin was in all of this chaos, her mind racing with unanswered qu

“I am deeply sorry for the pain you’ve endured, Attorney Harrison. Regrettably, we cannot change what happened in the past. I hope you can eventually find it in your heart to forgive. I am genuinely willing to help you in any way I can. Please, spare Devlin and his family from whatever revenge you want to inflict against the Wesleys. Those responsible for your suffering have long since passed away,” Amber implored, hoping to persuade him that revenge wouldn’t lead to any true solace.“Huh! You don’t know what you are talking about. Devlin’s father and brother were cut from the same cloth. His brother, a well-known attorney, had a history of engaging in questionable, under-the-table transactions. Similarly, his father was involved in illicit activities, such as smuggling high-value art pieces and selling them on the black market for exorbitant sums. And you know what I did to them?” He paused with a wild look on his face. Amber was scared but tried to appear calm from the outside.“I r

Amber managed to maintain her composure despite the turbulent thoughts the photo album had stirred within her. She didn’t want Devlin to become even more concerned. With a deep breath, she turned away from her sleeping husband. As they settled into bed, Devlin quickly succumbed to exhaustion, his peaceful slumber an indication of how much he needed rest.Amber couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that those old photographs held a deeper significance in her life that she could fathom. Her grandmother had grown up in an orphanage, and so was Devlin’s grandmother. The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, causing her to gasp in astonishment.Could it be possible that their guy also spent his early years in the same orphanage as their grandmothers? The mere thought sent her heart racing, and she found it nearly impossible to contain her curiosity.Questions swirled in Amber’s mind. What secrets lay hidden in their shared past that had shaped their ‘guy’ into the man he is right n

After Dalton and Raven left, Devlin received a call from Agent Smith.“Hello, Agent Smith. How’s everything going? How far along are you with the investigation?” Devlin inquired immediately.“I think it’s better for you to come here Mr. Wesley. I have both good news and bad news for you,” Agent Smith’s voice sounded grim.“Oh, alright. I was actually planning to come earlier as soon as we arrived here with my wife. However, we had unexpected guests to take care of,” He didn’t waste time explaining further. He wanted to know exactly what was happening with the investigation.“Is everything alright? You looked so serious,” Amber asked Devlin, who was unusually quiet. “We need to head over to Agent Smith. He has some news about the investigation,” Devlin replied, his expression grave.Amber didn’t waste time on further questions. “Of course. Let’s go find out what’s going on.”They quickly made their way to where Agent Smith and his team were staying. As they entered the room, they coul
