Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 56
Amber got herself ready to go to Devlin’s company. She remembered that he had to fix some issues in his company today. However, she wanted to go to him. She left the mansion with her driver. And another car was following her with several bodyguards inside. Devlin would never let Amber go out without them. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she contemplated the situation. She understood Devlin's genuine concern, acknowledging that her adjustment to this level of protection was a work in progress. Reflecting on her life in New York, she recalled the freedom of moving about independently, unburdened by thoughts of potential danger or looming threats. While their current circumstances posed challenges, she refrained from voicing any complaints. Their safety is more important right now.The car stopped just right in front of Devlin’s company. She was riding the latest model of a known luxury car. When she got out and headed to the building, all eyes were on her. The guards did not recognize

“Don’t you think this is another move from your enemy? It’s undoubtedly an inside job,” Amber stated, with a voice of apprehension. The realization that their adversary might be someone Devlin had placed trust in was unsettling. The proximity of their unknown enemy added a layer of unease to their predicament, making it all the more challenging to identify the mastermind behind these actions.“I’ve been waiting for years to uncover this person’s identity, and it’s been nothing short of frustrating,” Devlin admitted. Shifting the topic slightly, he continued, “By the way, I received a call from Abby. She’s coming tonight to discuss her investigation. She’s found a lead, although nothing is certain at this point. I just wanted her to come to see what she got for us.” Devlin held onto a sense of hope for any potential breakthroughs in the investigation.“It’s good to hear that Abby’s making progress,” Amber said, breaking the sudden silence between them. “We’ve been hitting dead ends for

Amber sat down on the edge, gazing at Devlin’s peaceful sleeping face. The soft moonlight filtering through the curtains painted a warm glow on his features. She couldn’t help but smile at his vulnerability in sleep, a stark contrast to the confident and strong man he was when awake.With a gentle touch, she traced the lines on his forehead, her fingertips barely grazing his skin. She leaned in to press a feather-light kiss on his forehead, Devlin stirred. His arms tightened around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Even in his half-sleep state, he sought his presence, drawing her closer as if protecting a cherished secret.Amber chuckled softly, her fingers now entwined in his tousled hair. She marveled at the depth of their connection, the unspoken understanding they shared. She knew the weight he carried, the responsibilities he shouldered, and yet he found solace in her arms.Amber settled back against the headboard, trying to make sure that she wouldn’t wake her husband.

At Devlin’s company, Agent Smith was engrossed in discussions with the IT expert who was providing crucial assistance for their ongoing investigation. They had been diligently reviewing the footage from all the CCTVs installed throughout the premises. Alongside this, they were meticulously scrutinizing the records of the company’s employees in search of any leads that could potentially shed light on the situation. Thus far, their efforts had not yielded any remarkable findings.Agent Smith, the team leader, leaned forward in his chair and directed his inquiry towards his dedicated team members. “So , what's the progress so far?” he inquired, his tone a mix of curiosity and determination.“We don’t have the names of our suspects yet .” Said one of his team members.“What about our persons of interest from the accounting department? Find anything about them?” He inquired further.“We couldn’t trace yet how they took the money.” Said one of his team members with a touch of frustration, t

Devlin and Amber are on their way to the investors’ meeting. It was another emergency meeting that Devlin had to attend. He needs to explain to the investors the status of his company, especially the financial aspect. While he has no problem seeking additional funds to bolster the company’s financial; standing, he is determined to avoid depleting the wealth he inherited from his late grandmother. His ultimate goal is to resolve the issues permanently.“Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you that right now I have expert and dedicated investigators who are doing their jobs to finally solve all the issues in this company once and for all. I can’t give you more details right now regarding the investigation, but I can assure you that we will find our mastermind before the set deadline.” Devlin said with finality. Everyone was talking at once when he took his seat. He was clear that he would not answer any questions right now regarding the internal investigation. He just wanted to assure the i

After their delightful lunch date, they returned to Devlin’s office to tackle the mountain of paperwork demanding his attention. His desk was covered with files and forms that needed his signature and review. He would visit Agent Smith and Abby later on to check on their progress. Devlin glanced over at his wife, Amber, who had made herself quite comfortable on the couch. A peaceful expression graced her sleeping face, and it warmed his heart. Her presence always provided him with a sense of calm amidst the chaos of his work. With a tender smile, Devlin turned his attention back to the paperwork, resolving to let Amber rest for as long as she needed. He didn’t realize that he had finished all his paperwork in record time. He checked his wristwatch, and it was still 4 pm. It seemed like a good idea now to visit Agent Smith and Abby to check on how far they are into their investigation. He set aside the completed work, he trusted his capable secretary to handle those papers.He stood

It was a rare family gathering, and the tension was evident. Amber was aware that Devlin and his parents hadn’t been in contact for several years. How long was that…she had no specific idea. The strained atmosphere hung like a thick fog. Amber felt like an outsider, caught in the middle of a reunion that held mixed emotions.As they moved to the living room, Devlin’s mother couldn't help but steal glances at Amber. She had never fully accepted their relationship especially that they married in haste five years ago. Amber’s presence was a constant reminder of the divide that had grown between her and her son. She tried to put on a pleasant facade, but her eyes revealed a deeper unease.Devlin’s father, on the other hand, was quieter, carrying a weight of regret. He had missed out on so much of his son’s life, and now that they were finally face-to-face again, he struggled to find the right words. His longing gaze at Devlin spoke volumes, and it was clear that he wanted to make amends.

That night, Devlin and Amber retired to sleep with great happiness in their hearts. Despite all their problems, something great and positive had happened. They were both relieved and overjoyed that Devlin’s parents had come to make amends with their son. Amber didn’t expect their heartfelt apologies and their wholehearted acceptance of her into the family.As they lay in bed, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight streaming through the window, Devlin turned to Amber with a loving smile. “I love you so much, wife,” he whispered, drawing her closer into his embrace. “You are the best thing that ever happened to me.” Devlin couldn’t help but snuggle even closer to her; it seemed he couldn’t get enough of her presence, not even for a few moments. Amber’s heart fluttered at Devlin’s words, and she nuzzled against his chest, her voice filled with affection. “And you, my dear husband, are my rock and my home. I never imagined finding such happiness with you.”Devlin ran his fingers throug

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
