CHAPTER 124 NATHAN’S POV Heading back home, I had to wait for a while before going over to visit them. It wasn’t an easy thing to stay away from the scanning eyes of the paparazzi. Not wanting my daughter to be in an awkward spotlight, I had settled to going over to meet them at a specific time in the night. It was quite dark then and only a few moved around, especially in North Carolina. Grabbing my car keys as it was time to go, I got into the car while tucking the teddy bear right into the back seat. Driving speedily, my heart raced anxiously. “What the fuck is wrong with me?” I asked my self angrily. I sure couldn’t deny the emotions brewing in me, I still have something for her. I knew that going to her home felt like home to myself. It was hard to let go of her, I had to restrain myself from going overboard just to let her stay, not wanting to sound desperate or any of that sort. I also needed time to settle my whole plan, my mind still tug me about
CHAPTER 125 CHLOE’S POV Hissing angrily immediately Nathan left, I turned to face Addison who was glaring hard at me. “What?” I asked in a more annoying tone than questioning tone. I hated all of this, why was she treating me like a kid. I wasn’t a kid anymore, I knew perfectly what I wanted and what I didn’t. Knowing well about how determined I was, I wasn’t going to allow a guy to ruin that for me. “Are you serious right now?” Addison asked with a scoff and I remained silent trying to control the anger that was brewing in me. “Just answer me, did I see wrong?” She asked again like a mother reprimanding her child and I only took the juice he had poured which was laying on the counter. The juice had been staring at me and I had to take a sip. “You know I hate the silent treatment.” She said again but I only watched her getting more angry as time passed by. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I asked her with a glare. “What do you mean, are you planning to go back to
CHAPTER 126 CHLOE’S POV “I am on my way already!” I shouted over the phone. This was the hundredth time Eduardo was calling me today, telling me to make it snappy. “So silly,” I murmured as I got into my car. Struggling with my heels and bag, I groaned angrily as I tried getting things together properly. Waking up this morning with a loud buzz coming from my phone, I woke up to see that it was from Eduardo. “I am so sorry, I was asleep.” I managed to say and I muffled my yawns with my duvet. “They are auctioning a piece of land and I need you to be there too for the piece of land,” he ordered through the phone, feeling confused about the whole thing. I asked a few questions. “I am still trying to wrap my head around all of this, can I get more details?” I asked but Eduardo being the man he was, said other few things that weren’t relating to what he knew I was curious about. “You are getting that land for something higher than eight million dollars, it should be
CHAPTER 127 NATHAN’S POV Typing furiously on my laptop, I tried to find out some information about Eduardo. “He is just too secretive,” I murmured under my breath as I was getting frustrated from not finding anything from him. He had so many connections, knowing that it was going to be a difficult task to catch him red-handed, I tried thinking of possible solutions. Deep into my thoughts already as I tried to think about a perfect solution to my problems, my phone buzzing on the table made me jolt back into consciousness. “Who is this?” I questioned as I picked the phone up. Seeing it was Cameron, I smiled as I knew he had got the land. “Hey bro,” I said casually with a beam on my face. “Nothing is fine, I couldn’t get the land,” Cameron said over the phone and I could notice his anger. Feeling disappointed but knowing Cameron wasn’t like that, I had so many questions. Sitting up in a more serious position, I tried to think about how this has happened. “I
CHAPTER 128 CHLOE’S POV “I am so tired,” I groaned as Adele disturbed me trying to get my attention. Understanding that I was the only parent always there for her, I had to focus fully on her. At times, I wished we were living with her dad, it would have been easier but I had to make it work anyways. “Okay, I think you need a quick nap.” I mumbled as she kept uttering incoherent words. Wriggling out of my grip once she noticed what I was about to do, I knew I was in for it today. “Just be careful,” I told her as she went over to her numerous toys searching for the one to play with. Heading to the kitchen for some snacks as I could feel my stomach rumble aggressively, I remembered I hadn’t really been online. Being so busy nowadays with Adele and work, I barely had time for socials. Taking some cookies and a cup of juice, I headed back to the playing room with Adele as I grabbed my phone out of my pocket. Several notifications buzzed through my phone as I noti
CHAPTER 129 CHLOE’S POV Embarrassment was the least of what I was facing right now, my words already turning to rubbish. I kept quiet and heaved a long breath before staring at Nathan, who just stared relaxed. “I am sorry for that,” I apologized with a light chuckle and he only nodded. “What’s wrong Chloe?” He asked in a firm tone and I sat upright. “Many things have been going online for quite a while now,” I started saying gently and paused to notice his reaction but it was expressionless. “Go on..” he urged after a long pause. Clearing my throat carefully, I turned back to him. “I just feel like you shouldn’t be making public relationships like that without informing me or anything,” I added again and waited for his response but he didn’t make any. “I honestly don’t know what our relationship is, it isn’t defined and I am a bit confused,” I told him and he chuckled a bit. “Did I say anything funny?” I asked in an innocent voice. I knew what I was doing qui
CHAPTER 130 CHLOE’S POV “I will sign the divorce papers, but you can never have access to Adele again,” I announced with a light smile and he looked at me with a shrug. “Are you fine with that?” He rather asked and I stared at him confused. This wasn’t Nathan, I was sure if it. Something was definitely wrong. “Are you being for real?” I asked after getting my voice back, the shock I had received today was just too much. “Why are you acting this way, I have agreed to all your terms but you still find something to complain about.” Nathan said and I chuckled slightly. This wasn’t the Nathan I knew, it felt so surreal. Nathan was always showing love to Adele so when did all of this happen. “I thought you were very responsible, all your acts. Everything sounds convincing, I was foolish thinking we could get back together,” I started saying. “You are not even thinking about our daughter in all of this. How do you think she will feel hearing this?” I started asking. “She i
CHAPTER 131 NATHAN’S POV Getting into the car, I hit my fist on the steering as I felt angry with myself. I didn’t want to do this but Cameron kept forcing me. Seeing her so hurt really made me feel bad, I couldn’t bare to see her that sad. Cameron was right after all, I had feelings for her. After we seperated, I had thought all my feelings would die down but I guess I was lying to myself. What happened today just made me realize the truth. Turning on the engine, I drove speedily to my house as I couldn’t think properly. After what I had witnessed, I knew she was broken. I had broken her so badly that I wasn’t sure she could recover that easily. Seeing the way she was fighting back her pool of tears just made my heart ache so much. I loved Adele so much and I could practically do anything for her, all of this was just a stupid plan that I was following. I hated everything that was suddenly happening, wanting all of this to be over. I wished I could reverse the ti
