Claiming the Ruthless CEO Novel

In the dazzling realm of high finance, a struggling waitress and a formidable billionaire enter an unconventional pact. Beatrix Fernando, her existence marked by demanding shifts and low wages, is driven by the urgent medical needs of her brother. Her sole recourse is a pragmatic marriage to the exceptionally powerful Apollo Cartier, whose demeanor is as frigid as his name implies. For a sum sufficient to cover her brother's treatment, Beatrix consents to become Mrs. Cartier. She resolves to fulfill this role with a guarded heart, determined to resist the allure of the emotionally distant CEO. Apollo Cartier, the inheritor of a colossal enterprise, views Beatrix not as a romantic interest, but as a tactical element in his ambitious scheme. His singular objective is the retrieval of his father's company, and this short-term alliance represents a calculated maneuver towards his ultimate goal.
