Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 39
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

“I would never be complete without you in my life.” Those words echoed in Amber’s ears. After their talks on the rooftop, she didn’t say anything to Devlin. But he told her that he would do everything to get her back. He apologized that it took him five years to finally make a move.She learned from him that he has been following everything she has done for the last five years of her life. He told her that he had her followed closely. And he even would go discreetly just to get a glimpse of her. After all these years, she thought she would be ready to face him. There were many times with her conversation with Devlin that she was slowly melting to his words. However, she tried to hold back. She wanted not to give in to her emotions. What is the purpose to all of her success if she would go back to the past that she was trying to run away from?And why would Devlin want to come back? Last time she checked, he was with Fiona Ross. He even took Fiona’s father as an investor in his compan

Everyone gave Amber a big round of applause when she went to the stage to receive her award. Everyone saw a confident woman with a big smile on her face. Deep inside, Amber was actually nervous and excited. Nervous that all eyes were on her. Also, Devlin has been intently watching her since earlier. It added more to her nervousness. “Thank you so much. I would like to dedicate this award to my grandmother who could not make it tonight. This award means a lot to me and to everyone who works with me to make me reach where I am right now. For everything that I have been through to get here, it was all worth it. I would like to thank all the employees of AA Blossoms for all their hard work. With this award, it inspires me to strive harder. Expect that we will give you the best that our company can offer. Thank you so much everyone. Enjoy your night!” She slightly raised her plaque to show to everyone.When she got downstairs, Devlin was there standing waiting for her and escorted her to

It is a sunny Monday morning. Amber went to her office earlier than usual. She had so many things to do today. She left her condo without having any breakfast. She does that when her mind is busy with work. She was holding her coffee while getting out of the elevator. She saw Abby who was also having her coffee. She was surprised to see her lady boss came earlier. She has no big meetings for today except to review and sign some papers piling up on her table.“Good morning, Abby.” Amber said cheerfully. “Good morning, ma’am!” Abby equally greeted her with cheerfulness.“Come to the office in 15 minutes.” Amber said before she got inside. She just wanted to enjoy her coffee. She does not feel hungry but she could order food later on, probably for brunch. She immediately went to her swivel chair. She sees the piles of paperworks she has to do. However, it did not take that long when someone knocked at her door. She sighed to herself. She just told Abby to wait for 15 minutes. “Come

Devlin has been regularly visiting Amber in her office for five straight working days now. He already got the attention of everyone in the company. Amber wanted to ban Devlin from coming to her company but that would get more attention from her employees and the media. She decided to face him with complete indifference. For the last few days, she has been trying hard to act casually with him. She tried to put in her head that Devlin is just one of her clients. However, as days went by, she could not believe that her hatred towards him slowly waned down.Devlin didn’t back down despite all her cold treatment towards him. And she has to admit it, that the walls she built around her are slowly breaking down. Every time he comes to her office, he would just talk casually to her about his day. What he did in his meetings and other things. And at night, he always invites her to dinner. Right now, it’s a Friday night. They are waiting for their order to be served. They are dining in a Jap

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
