Fated to the Ruthless CEO

Back In Each Other’s Arms



Amber could not stop herself from hugging Devlin tightly. She saw how the immense pain and struggles he had endured all these years were evident on his face, and it broke her heart. Regret washed over her as she realized that she had caused him more pain by walking away without listening to him. The weight of guilt consumed her as she acknowledged that she had wasted five precious years of their lives apart.

Yes, she had been hurt by him many times, but that shouldn’t discourage her from believing what they had together five years ago was something very special. It’s important to acknowledge that she had also hurt him in some ways, but dwelling on past mistakes won’t help them now. Instead, they must focus on a significant problem they are facing together. They need to find out who is behind all of these issues, which have escalated to some serious threats.

After a while, Amber loosened her embrace from Devlin. However, he gently held onto her, pulling her closer, and tenderly cupped her face in his hands.

“Does this mean that I am completely forgiven?” Devlin asked, his expression showing signs of nervousness.

“Yes, Devlin. And I hope you won’t waste this second chance I’m giving us.” She smiled warmly at him before leaning in and kissing him with all the love and affection she could express in that tender moment they shared.

“I love you so much, baby. You have no idea the immense significance you hold in my life. I reached a point where I felt like giving up. I was all alone but knowing that you are still there yet from afar, it grants me the strength to keep going.” He spoke with heartfelt sincerity, not afraid to express his emotions openly.

“I love you too, Devlin,” she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity and joy. “I am overjoyed to finally open my heart to you. I know that we will face more challenges, but I believe in you… I believe in us, and I am committed to facing everything together.” Her smile was reassuring, a reflection of her emotions she felt in that moment. As their eyes met, they both knew that their love has the strength to endure any obstacles that might come their way. With their hearts now intertwined, they sealed their declarations of love with a tender kiss.

After a couple of minutes, they remained entwined in each other’s embrace, quietly savoring the renewal of their vows of love. The sense of contentment enveloped them as they reveled in the comfort of being back in each other’s arms. Eventually, it was Amber who gently broke the tranquil silence that enveloped them.

“So what are your plans now?” Amber inquired, her voice tinged with concern. “I don’t want to disrupt this peaceful moment we’re sharing, but I can’t help but think that our happiness might be incomplete if there are still hidden enemies lurking around.” With a touch of worry in her voice, she expressed her genuine feelings, knowing that addressing any potential threats was essential to securing their future together.

“Baby, I am sorry for burdening you with my problems,” Devlin said sincerely. “You don’t need to worry anymore. I can openly protect you now. And as much as I want to support you with your company, there’s something I need to ask you.” Devlin paused, and Amber looked at him curiously, waiting for what he had to say.

“I know very well how much hard work you put into your company to make it successful. But what I am asking of you would be a sacrifice on your part,” he said, carefully observing her as her eyebrows furrowed.

“Spill it out. Whatever it is, I know that you are only looking after my best interest,” she said, holding his hands tightly.

Devlin took a deep breath. “I would like you to come with me to Seattle. Don’t worry, I have already set up your company there, and you even have a branch of your manufacturing business,” he explained, leaving Amber utterly stunned.

“Wait…what?! How did you set up my company in Seattle? I never established any branch there. That’s the last place I wanted to put my company in. Well, before we made up,” she said, revising her words.

Devlin smiled at her widely. “Surprise, babe! When you started your company, I was your first investor – I had someone represent me, and I asked her to never divulge my name.” It was another surprising revelation for Amber. It had never crossed her mind that Devlin would have contributed to her company, especially when she was just starting and they were miles apart. She just left him a few months prior to starting her own company.

Suddenly, a wave of realization hit Amber. She couldn’t believe what she had just discovered – her first investor was none other than Jillian’s mother. So does it mean…?

“How did you come to know Jillian’s mother? My friend must be unaware of your connection, isn’t she?” Amber’s mind now races with curiosity, wondering what other secrets Devlin might be about to reveal. The nagging feeling to uncover the identities of those who have been guarding her all these years grows stronger.

Amber remembered that at the party, Devlin Wesley was introduced to her friend, Jillian, by Jacob. And she heard her friend say that she had just met the famous Devlin Wesley. She was even excited to meet Devlin. However, Amber is puzzled because she doesn’t understand how Devlin is connected to her friend’s family. Amber could only shake her head.

It has been a whirlwind of revelations she had experienced in just one day. “You know, all your revelations were quite a huge shock to me,” she said, “but there’s still one thing that I would really like to know – who has been guarding me all this time? I feel grateful for their protection, and I would really like to express my gratitude to them.” Her curiosity piqued, eager to uncover the mysterious individuals who have been watching her for the last five years.

“Baby, I guess this is really the time for revelations. Are you sure you can still handle everything?” Devlin asked earnestly, but Amber only smirked at him.

“What else would shock me more than you being my silent investor or the faceless person or people who are after me and you?” She saw Devlin’s slight smile, but he couldn’t hide his worries at the same time when she mentioned someone who is responsible for all their problems right now.

He heaved a deep sigh. His lil minx is curious as always, and he couldn’t help but wonder how she would react when she discovered that one of the people guarding her had been her close confidante all along. The thought of revealing the truth to her both excites and frightens him.

As he gathered his thoughts to tell her, a sudden interruption broke the moment. Marmee’s voice echoed through the garden, calling their names loudly. He decided to tell her later on.

They heard marmee’s footsteps getting close to where they were. “There you are! I have been looking for you around the house. I thought you both had gone somewhere.” Marmee’s face lit up with a smile as she saw them holding hands together.

“Marmee, we were just talking. I thought you were still taking your nap.” Amber said looking intently at her marmee’s smiling face.

“I woke up a couple of minutes ago. I only took a nap for half an hour. It has been almost two hours since I woke up. I got busy with the farmers.” Marmee said with a suppressed smile this time.

Amber was pleasantly surprised to realize that she had been engrossed in conversation with Devlin for more than two hours now. Time had flown by so fast. She hadn’t even noticed it passing. His revelations had captured her attention completely, leaving her in deep thoughts of their situation.

“Looks like you two have made up. I am so happy for both of you,” Marmee said, looking at them with great adoration. Amber cheeks slightly turning red. She felt like she was a teenager getting caught with her crush.

“I have you to thank for, marmee. If you hadn’t had that heart-to-heart talk with your granddaughter earlier, I don’t think I have even a slim chance to get back with this lovely lil minx here,” Devlin said while happiness was visible on his face. Amber blushed even more intensely this time.

One can clearly see marmee’s happiness as she witnessed her granddaughter getting back together with her husband. She hopes and prays that they stay committed to each other this time.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Don’t thank me yet, young man,” marmee said with a twinkle in her eyes.

“I would be extremely happy if I could carry your bundle of joy soon.” It took a moment for Amber to grasp the full meaning of her grandmother’s words. She glanced at Devlin, who was beaming with happiness, mirroring marmee’s smile. Amber felt a mix of emotions, wanting to protest but deciding to remain silent. The idea of having a child with the love of her life was undeniably wonderful. She smiled with contentment, setting aside any worries for the time being. Right now, she resolved to relish the weekend with Devlin and her grandmother, celebrating their reunion.
