Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 35
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

“I am so sorry, marmee.” She has been crying endlessly since she told her grandmother as to what happened between her and Devlin. She told her everything except that night when Devlin mentioned someone else's name during their last fiery moment. It is something that she does not have the courage to tell her grandmother. She would definitely break down in front of her. “I am sorry, my child. I hope you told me everything sooner so you could spare yourself from the heartaches. I know that you love him so much.” She paused, pain and disappointment could be seen on her marmee’s face before she took a deep breath. “I wish it could have happened in a different way. I met Devlin and he seemed to be a nice, young man. I think I was wrong about him then. I saw him as a genuinely caring grandson to his grandmother. He was also nice to everyone here including the workers. And when you told everything that happened, I could not help but regret that I entrusted you to him.” Amber cried harder.

5 years later…Amber has just landed from her three day business trip. She attended several business meetings and conferences overseas. She could have gone to her condo unit to rest. But she was still all too fired up to keep working. She doesn't even mind having jet lag. She is on her way to her office. She checks her wristwatch and it is 3 pm local time. She still has time to check things in the company.“Good afternoon ma’am. How was your trip?” Asked Abby the moment she saw Amber getting out of the elevator. She only nodded instead of answering her. She immediately went straight to her office. Abby trailed behind her. “Abby, why don’t you fill me in with what happened these past three days?” Abby’s face turns from cheerfulness to being serious. She has been Amber’s secretary since she started her company. She knows too well how Amber works. “We had a meeting with Ms. Sherman last Wednesday. She finalized and signed her orders. Then, the production department made deliveries of

Why would she think of Devlin now? He is from her past that she thought she already forgot. Last time she heard about him, he was on the television with Fiona Ross. They were together during a ribbon cutting of one of the Ross group of companies. He has moved on from her as much as she has also moved on from him. They both have separate lives now. He has expanded his company through the years. While she is also successful with her own company. There is nothing to worry that they would cross paths again. That’s what she thought. Amber was driving back to her condo unit when she decided at the last minute to go dine out in a restaurant. Her plan was to order food from her place. However, she wanted to distract her mind from any unnecessary thoughts of Devlin Wesley.She parked her car at an Italian restaurant where she is a regular customer. She is hoping that they would have a vacant table for her especially since it is Friday night. They are going to be really full of diners tonight

The next day, she had some dark circles below her eyes. She did not sleep well last night. She kept moving on her bed. And when she thought she was asleep, she felt that her mind was busy thinking. She woke up tired and still sleepy. If it wasn’t for the continuous ringing of her phone she would not want to get up today. It is the weekend. It is her time to relax.She reached for her phone to check who was calling. It’s her friend, Jillian. “Hello, Jillian?” Amber answered her friend. “Hello, Amber! I heard you are back. You never even called me when you arrived at the airport. I could have picked you up. And, you even went to your office to work yesterday! Unbelievable!” She exclaimed. Amber had to put her phone away since Jillian’s shrieking voice hurt her ears. “Calm down.” Amber softly chuckled. “You know how very hands-on I am with my work.” She said while moving to sit on her bed. Her friend, Jillian, always complains about her hectic schedule. “Why did you call anyway? It

Her heart was beating rapidly after that phone call with Devlin. How did he know about her number? It has been years. And now, he reappears in her life? For what? Why would he even contact her in the first place? To take his revenge again just like what he did last time? ‘Five long freaking years. And here she is, still affected by him. How can she not move on from him?,It’s her fault anyway. She never entertained those men who showed interest in her. There is one who consistently has been asking her for a date. Jacob’s best friend, Elijah. However, she could not bring herself to go out with anyone. She tried going out with Elijah. But those were just friendly dinners for her with their friends who tagged along. She never sees Elijah on a romantic level. After what happened with Devlin, she could not bring herself to trust any man in her life. Not even Elijah who always shows understanding and patience.She almost forgot about him. Elijah would be there. Last time they had a conve

“Then why don’t you spend your time with them since every single woman here would want to be with you? Just leave me alone, Mr. Wesley.” Amber retorted bluntly. “Mr. Wesley now, huh? What happened to Devlin or ‘baby’?” He kept taunting her. He prefers her to be talking back at him rather than ignore his presence. It happened the last few days they were together and he hated every single moment of it. “Well, someone already caught my fancy. So, I would rather be with her.” He answered back with amusement on his face. “There is nothing funny here. Are you trying to annoy me because you are successfully doing that?” She really wanted to stay as far away from him. He is extremely annoying right now. She tried to ignore him, by checking on her phone. “Come on, lil minx. Don’t ignore me again. I really didn’t like it last time.” She looked at him angrily but still did not talk to him. She saw him pour a bottle of wine in his glass. “I miss you, wife.” He suddenly whispered close to he

Jillian laughed softly while eyeing her friend who seemed annoyed about what she just told her. “I mean, why not Elijah? It is time for you to give yourself a chance at love. And whoever hurt you before, it was his loss. Look at you right now. You built a huge company successfully all by yourself. Not to mention that you are such a beautiful woman. Of course, men would really fall for you. But it seems like you have other things in your head.” Jillian can be really brutally honest at times. But she likes that quality in her. “I am not interested. I am not really looking for anyone right now. I don’t even have time to hang out with you.” She reasoned out, hoping that her friend would stop talking about men. She is not desperate to be in a relationship. Being alone does not mean that she is lonely. It was her choice and she was happy with it.“Hmmm… something is telling me that you are hiding something?” Jillian and all her wild imaginations.‘What are you talking about?” Amber acted

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
