134.I dropped Lily off at her home and got into my car. I didn't know where I was going, but I just kept driving until I found myself at a bar. I sat alone at the bar, nursing a whiskey, trying to drown out the voice in my head.The bartender slid a shot at me, throwing a white towel over his shoulder. "You are the guy I see on TV aren't you?" He asked, looking at me quizzically.I spared him a look, having absolutely zero interest in getting into any bar talk tonight. "Probably not.""No," he said, tapping his chin thoughtfully, "it's definitely you." Leaning towards me he whispered, "Don't worry man, you don't wanna be seen, I get it. Imma keep your identity safe." He finished, winking at me.Too tired to keep denying, I answered gratefully, "Thanks man.""No problem, we shut down in about an hour so you might wanna hurry up." He said, walking over to the other end and going back to his phone.After a while, the bartender came over to me. "Everything okay, man?" he asked."Why?" I
135I woke up in the middle of the night, my body tangled up with Chloe's. The warmth of her body next to mine was comforting, but I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that came with it. I had been using her, using our history to try and get back at Eduardo. And now, here we were, in bed together, after a night of passion.I felt her stir, her warm breasts rubbing against my chest as she reached to wrap her arms around me."Are you awake?" I whispered, not sure if she heard me."Yeah." She replied quietly.We lay there in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company. But then Chloe spoke up, breaking the silence."Why are you still with Lily, Nathan?" she asked me, her voice soft and hesitant.I knew this question was coming, but that didn't make it any easier to answer. "I wanted to get your attention," I admitted, the words leaving my lips before I even realized what I was saying.Chloe's eyes widened in surprise. "What?""I wanted you to notice me," I continued. "I want
NathanMy eyes fluttered open, and he found himself enveloped in the warmth and softness of Chloe's embrace. They had just spent the night together, and I couldn't help but smile as I reminisced on the experience.It felt as though we had never been apart, as if we had picked up right where we had left off all those years ago. Damnnn, I could still remember the way her hair had felt against my skin, the way her breath had mingled with mine as we laid together in bed.Fuck!I had missed her so much, missed the way she laughed and the way she challenged me. And now, as I lay there with her in my arms tightening around her waist, I knew that the right thing to do would be ending things with Lily. I wanted nothing more than to be with Chloe, to make up for the mistakes I had made in the past. I knew that it wouldn't be easy, that we still had a lot of work to do to rebuild our relationship. But I was willing to do whatever it took to make things right, to show her that I was truly sorry
ChloeNathan's departure left a palpable void in the house. Adele clung to him, reluctant to let go, as he bid her farewell. I stood by the door, watching them with a bittersweet smile. As Nathan stepped out into the sunlight, he turned to look back at us, a final wave of goodbye. One would think he was leaving forever with how slow he walked. Dramatic man. I closed the door behind him with a sigh, taking a deep breath as I leaned back against it. My heart was pounding in my chest, a mix of excitement and apprehension. Last night was amazing. So fucking amazing. I was happy to have Nathan back in my life, to feel his warmth and love again. But damn, I also knew that our road ahead would not be easy.As I walked back into the living room holding my daughter's little hands tight, the silence was overwhelming. But then I heard a faint sound, the sound of Adele's laughter echoing through the house. I glanced down at the little girl, touched by the look of joy in her face. Adele was ha
NathanI walked into my home with a huge smile on my face, still relishing in the memories of the time I spent with Chloe and Adele. The feeling of joy and contentment overwhelmed me.As I walked through the door, the familiar scent of my home filled my nostrils, and I was enveloped by a sense of comfort. I couldn't help but think about how much I had missed this feeling, the feeling of being surrounded by warmth and love.I walked through the living room, admiring the decor that I had carefully chosen over the years. The walls were decorated with art that I had collected from my travels around the world, and the furniture was arranged in a way that felt cozy and inviting.The sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over everything in the room. I felt my heart swell with gratitude for the life I had built for myself.I made my way to the kitchen, where I knew I would find solace in a good cup of coffee. As I poured myself a mug, my thoughts drifted to Chloe and Adel
NATHANI couldn't believe what I was seeing. Eduardo was standing in front of my parents' house, laughing as if he didn't have a care in the world. I approached him cautiously, trying to keep my anger in check."What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.Eduardo turned to face me, his smile fading slightly as he saw the anger in my eyes. "Oh, Nathan," he said, his voice dripping with false innocence. "I was just passing by and saw this old house. I got curious, you know?"I knew he was lying, of course. Eduardo wasn't the type to just stumble upon something and get curious. He was always looking for an angle, always trying to find a way to benefit himself.But I couldn't let him know that I was onto him. I needed him to believe that we were alike, that we shared the same values and goals.I forced a smile and tried to keep my voice even. "Yeah, I get it. Old houses can be fascinating," I said.Eduardo nodded, his smile returning. "Exactly! I was ju

CHAPTER 141 NATHAN’S POV I knew I had done wrong, my parents had thought me better but I still couldn’t deny the inner satisfaction I felt seeing him lay helplessly. “Don’t think you can go Scott free with this,” Eduardo said with a smirk despite the pain evident in his voice. His smirk not leaving his face only made me more angry, I wanted to over to him and gave him the beating of his life but I had to withhold. Even if I wanted to do this, at least not in my parents house. They were dead but I still had to respect them. This man was a bastard who didn’t deserve any mercy, leaving the place before anything else could happen. I got into my car and drove off angrily. Hitting the steering angrily, I stopped abruptly on the highway. Going over to my parent’s house just stirred the pain I had been hiding for a while. I was going to take revenge for them, Eduardo deserved to die. I promised myself that I was going to make it a painful and slow death. They were innocve bu
