All Chapters of Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Summerville City, York State..Summerville City thrived on power and ambition. Its skyline was a testament to dominance—glass towers clawing toward the heavens, casting long shadows over the streets below. The rich dictated the rules, and the weak? They were swallowed whole.At the center of it all stood Galaxy Empire Tower, an eighty-six-story monument to wealth and control. It wasn’t just the tallest building in the city—it was a crown. And seated at its highest floor was the man who wore it.Alexander Harris stood before the expansive window of his office, his sharp gaze cutting through the cityscape below. His posture was effortless—broad shoulders squared beneath a tailored suit worth more than most people’s annual salaries. His expression was devoid of warmth.This city was his. Every deal, every contract, every shattered opponent. Controlled. Owned.Behind him, his trusted executive assistant, Earl Frost, stood with the precision of a soldier delivering orders."Sir, Mr. Trevor

Alex sat on the leather sofa in his private suite above the pub, the dim lighting casting shadows across the room. His long fingers drummed idly on the armrest as he swirled a glass of whiskey in his other hand. The sound of the ice clinking against the glass echoed in the stillness.Earl stood at attention nearby, awaiting his next order."Bring me a new set of clothes," Alex said coolly, his gaze fixed on the swirling amber liquid in his glass.Earl gave a slight nod. "Yes, sir."Alex’s eyes darkened. "And one more thing."Earl paused at the door. "Sir?""The waitress from earlier." His tone sharpened. "The one who delivered the food."A slow and devilish smile curled Alex’s lips. "Have the manager send her to deliver the wine. No one else."Earl hesitated. "Shall I inform the manager of the reason?"Alex’s gaze lifted, his dark eyes gleaming with a dangerous light. "He knows better than to ask questions."Earl bowed slightly. "Understood."Alex took a slow sip of his whiskey as Ear

Earl was shocked again.His iceberg of a boss was carrying a woman in his arms.Alex’s facial expression remained firm and flat, but the sight was still enough to shock Earl speechless. In all the years he had worked for Alex, he had never seen anything remotely like this.And when he recognized the woman, his shock doubled.She was the same waitress Alex had gotten entangled with earlier."Mr. Harris, this lady… what happened to her?" Earl asked in confusion, quickly opening the car door.Alex did not answer. He simply pursed his lips and stepped inside with the unconscious woman still in his arms."Drive," he ordered curtly."Oh, yes sir!"Earl scrambled into the driver’s seat, resisting the urge to question him further."Where to, sir?" he asked after a beat, glancing at the rearview mirror."The hospital."Earl’s brows furrowed. He was certain the woman had been drugged, but who had done it?Before he could process further, Alex changed his mind."No. Take us to Autumn Garden."Ea

Eve was furious and confused at the same time.What is that man planning to do with me? She pondered for a few moments before deciding to compose herself.She could only hope that he would let her go as he had promised. But realistically, she had no other choice.After dressing, she stepped out of the room and found an elderly butler waiting outside."Shall we, Miss?"She nodded silently and followed him to the elevator, keeping her thoughts to herself.Inside, the butler pressed the button for the third floor."Young Master’s office is there," he informed her.Eve remained quiet."I hope you’re not too upset with him," the butler continued. "Our Young Master is a good man. He didn’t kidnap you as you think. He brought you here because you were drugged. He even took care of you last night."Eve's eyes widened in shock. So he was the one who saved me from Dalton?"If he’s such a good man, then why won’t he let me go?" she asked bitterly, still seething at him."Only the Young Master ca

Butler Clark was stunned. His wife? Did he hear that correctly? His aged hands trembled slightly as he turned to Earl, who had just walked in. "Did the young master mean it? She's his wife?" Clark asked, his voice tinged with disbelief and excitement. Earl nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Yes, it's true. Although it was a forced marriage, I think Mr. Harris likes her more than he realizes." Clark frowned. “He does?” “I’ve never seen him act this way toward any woman before,” Earl murmured, his gaze shifting toward the staircase. "She’s the only exception." If there was anyone who could melt the iceberg known as Alex Harris, it might just be Eve. **** Upstairs The Master’s Bedroom.. The door slammed shut with a resounding thud. Eve barely had time to catch her breath before Alex seized her wrist and tossed her onto the massive king-sized bed. The impact sent a shudder through her body, but before she could react, he was already standing over her, his broad frame t
