Fated to the Ruthless CEO Chapter 32
Fate seemed to have other plans for them that night. Something unexpected happened while they both reached the pinnacle of their desires.Amber stiffened when Devlin just blurted out with his slurred voice… “I love you… Raven.” It kept replaying in her head over and over again. It shattered her into pieces. It shattered the fragile bond that they were both trying to form. Or were they trying to do that? On her part, she was doing that to make their marriage work. But what of Devlin? He just said the one single word that deeply left a mark in her heart. Devlin’s momentary lapse of control made him regretful. In his intoxicated haze, his lips betrayed him. He realized his huge mistake and immediately wrapped her arms around Amber’s trembling body. He cupped her face to look at her. He wanted to explain. He never meant to say Raven’s name. He saw the hurt look on her face but she was not crying at all. Her mind must be somewhere else, digesting what he just said. And he just wanted to

It has been three days since that fateful night. Amber has not spoken to Devlin about that night. She remained quiet and only answered when asked about trivial questions.Devlin stayed in the penthouse with her hoping that he could fix things with them. He has not reported to his company for two days. However, he needs to go today since there is an important meeting with the shareholders. He does not want to leave Amber without even fixing the problem he created. He still regretted that every single moment.“Baby, I need to go to the office today. When I get back, we have to talk about what happened. Please give me a chance, baby.” Again, she did not respond to him except to nod her head. Devlin had to scratch his nape. He is getting frustrated from her continued silence. He has been trying to be patient with her. He had to because it was his fault in the first place. Every time he remembers that moment, he just wanted to hurt himself. That was a very beautiful moment for them. But h

Meanwhile, Devlin was so busy in his company. He just finished a very important meeting with his shareholders. He was even surprised to see that Fiona Ross was in the meeting. She has never attended any meeting for the shareholders simply because she is not a shareholder in his company. He found out later on that one of his shareholders is a distant relative to the Ross’ family. She came to represent the shareholder who was on a business trip. What he didn’t know was that Fiona convinced that distant relative to come on behalf of him. She wanted to have an excuse to see Devlin again. Although, she can readily come to his office. However, she wanted to appear like she was not chasing him.After the meeting, she went to see Devlin in his office. She really wanted to have him in any way possible.“Hey Mr. Wesley, how are you doing? You left me last time.” She said, while pouting. She is wearing a black tight pencil skirt and a white sleeveless shirt that shows a deep cleavage. She added

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
