Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 68
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

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 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

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

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

“Dev…Devlin, I don't have much time left. Plea… please pro- pro- mise me that yo.. you are going to do my wish.” Came the faint, faltering voice of Devlin’s grandmother, Olivia. She looks very pale and her eyes are starting to close. She has been having difficulty breathing but she insisted on talking to Devlin alone in her hospital room. Even in her dying moments, she still thinks of her beloved grandson. She wants to make sure that he is going to be well taken care of by a great woman… not just those usual women he keeps dating. Devlin has a grimmed expression on his face. He has been hearing these past few months from his grandmother about someone whom she thought would be a fit wife for him. He has never met the woman. Besides, marriage is far from his mind right now. He still has a lot of personal issues to resolve on his own and a thriving company to manage. He can't just afford to add another problem. However, he cannot refuse his grandmother as well, especially that she has

That trip was great for his grandma. She went back home to Seattle happy and full of energy. However, that trip was bad news for Devlin. He heard his grandma suggesting for the first time that Amelia’s granddaughter would be a good match for him. He thought that was only a funny idea that came to his grandma’s head. Days passed, and she kept telling him of her wish for him to marry her friend’s granddaughter. Devlin did not say anything. He just passed it off as his grandma’s obsession to return back the favor that her friend did to her years ago.“Grandma, you know very well that I am too busy with my company. And besides, aren't I too young to marry at this time?” He asked his grandma casually. He still thought his grandma would get over her fascination over Amber, that’s the name of her granddaughter’s friend.“Busy? Young?” Olivia snorted. She knows that his grandson is not taking her words seriously.“Young man, do you think I am kidding with you? Amelia and I made a pact that we

On her first night in the condo, Amber felt uneasy. She could not go to sleep. She called her grandmother earlier to check on her. “Marmee, how are you?” She said happily. Marmee is her endearment for her grandmother. “Amber, I am so glad you finally called. I was so worried about you. How was everything?” Her grandmother was referring to the funeral she attended early in the day. “It was fine, marmee. It went on smoothly. How are you doing, marmee? Are you feeling much better now?” She asked with a concerned voice. She really wanted to check on her grandmother. Before she left, her grandmother complained of headache and dizziness. However, it was her who suggested for Amber to go to Seattle to attend the funeral of her friend. She still remembers their conversations. “But marmee, I just can’t leave you like this. You are not feeling well.” Amber protested. Her grandmother simply waved her hand at her. “If I weren’t sick, I could have gone with you. Don’t worry about me. I hav

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
