All Chapters of THE CEO’S RUTHLESS COMMITMENT (hidden obsession): Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Third Person POVLayla slipped into the passenger seat and shut the door quietly.Viktor didn’t say anything at first. He simply pulled away from the curb, his eyes were scanning the mirrors before easing into the road.For a little moment, it was just the low hum of the engine.Then Layla reached into her pocket and took out a small earpiece and placed it in her ear.Viktor glanced at her briefly. “What’s that?”Layla adjusted it slightly. “I planted a bug in Elena’s car.”There was a pause.Viktor looked at her again… a little longer.“You did what?”“While we were driving to the house,” she said calmly. “She didn’t notice.”He let out a quiet breath, something close to a short laugh.“Smart,” he muttered, shaking his head slightly. “I didn’t even think of that.”Layla didn’t respond. She just listened.There was nothing yet, just silence.“She’s probably still inside,” Layla said after a moment.Viktor nodded and focused back on the road.They drove the rest of the way without spea

Layla’s POVNaomi checked into the hotel, and I stayed with her while she got settled.The moment the door closed behind us, we both just stood there for a second, looking at each other.Then we moved at the same time.I wrapped my arms around her tightly.“You’re actually here,” I said into her shoulder.“I told you I was coming,” she replied, holding me just as tight.“Not like this,” I muttered.We pulled back slightly, but neither of us let go completely.“I missed you,” she added softly.“I missed you too.”Drey made a small sound between us, and we both laughed.“Oh my God,” I said, shifting him properly into my arms. “Come here, baby.”I held him close again, pressing a kiss to his cheek.Then more kisses“I can’t believe you’re here,” I whispered, smiling down at him. “I didn’t think I’d see you this soon.”He babbled something that sounded like “Mama,” and my chest tightened instantly.“I know,” I said softly. “I know.”I held him for as long as I could before finally setting

Layla’s POVI rushed back into the room and he was awake crying softly.“It’s okay,” I murmured, picking him up. “Mama’s here.”I held him close, rocking him gently.Then I noticed that my phone's screen was lit.I had Missed calls from Naomi.Severally.My brows pulled together instantly.“Hey,” I whispered to Drey, adjusting him slightly. “Let’s go see Viktor.”….I walked back into the kitchen and held him out.“Can you take him for a second?”Viktor didn’t hesitate.“Of course.”He took Drey easily, settling him against his chest.Drey calmed almost immediately.I grabbed my phone and stepped aside then I called Naomi back.Naomi picked up on the second ring.She was crying in full broken sobs.My stomach dropped instantly.“Naomi?” I said quickly. “What happened?”She didn’t answer, she just kept crying.“I’m sorry I missed your calls,” I added, my voice tightening. “Talk to me. What’s wrong?”She said nothing, All I heard was her breathing unevenly into the phone.“Naomi, where a

Layla’s POVElena’s smile faded.She looked around the room slowly, her eyes were moving from Naomi… to Viktor… then to me.Something in the air had shifted, and even she could feel it.“Did I say something wrong?” she asked carefully. “Is something… off?”No one answered her.I was still looking at Viktor , and he was looking at me.It felt like we were having a conversation without words. His eyes were searching. Mine holding steady and refusing to give anything away.Naomi cleared her throat.She stood up in one smooth motion and walked over to Elena. Without hesitation, she took Drey from her arms… not gently.Elena blinked, startled.Naomi adjusted Drey against her shoulder like nothing had happened, then looked straight at Elena.“I think you’ve overstayed your welcome,” she said flatly. “You can leave now.”Elena frowned.“I’m sorry?” she said. “Who are you to send me out of my friend’s house?”That was the wrong thing to say… she doesn't even knowNaomi’s eyes narrowed instan

Layla’s POVMy hand shook on the steering wheel.“Jasper?” I repeated, my voice was barely steady.A soft chuckle came through the line. “There she is.”My grip tightened. “How did you get this number?”“Does it matter?” he said lightly. “I wanted to hear your voice. That’s all.”My jaw clenched. “Why are you calling me?”There was a pause.Then he said , “Because I missed you.”I almost laughed- -but there was nothing funny about it.“You disappeared,” he continued. “You think at least… I had to lay low for a while. But I’m back now.”My stomach turned.“And I thought,” he added, “why not start with you?”“Don’t,” I snapped. “Don’t talk like we have anything left between us.”“Oh, we do,” he said softly. “You just don’t want to admit it.”“I don’t want anything with you.”“That’s not what I remember.”“Then your memory is broken.”He laughed again, like this was all some kind of game.“I’ll be visiting soon,” he said.My chest tightened. “No, you won’t.”“When I do,” he went on, ign
