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
CHAPTER 142 CHLOE’S POV “Quit whining.” I scolded as Adele cried more. I was in the kitchen and she wanted her factory cereal. Children were just too stubborn, always getting whatever they wanted. Adele had taken after Nathan with her stubbornness, she was going to get whatever she wanted no matter what she had to do. Watching her as she continued to cry and throw tantrums, I knew all this was just for me to hand over the cereal to her. Finally giving in, I grabbed the cereal and prepared it for her as I handed it over to her. “Thank you mama,” she managed to say as I laughed slightly. I wanted her to have very excellent manners and had started teaching her then.She had started talking and it was one of my best moment. I just wished Nathan was here. These were moments parents shouldn’t be missing, he was already missing a lot which made me pissed at times. I wanted him to be here, so we could laugh and remember this when when grow older. He couldn’t experience all of th
CHAPTER 143 NATHAN’S POV Feeling the air around me suffocating, I tried to free myself. Hope not leaving me as I thought of so many things. I had to take revenge for my family, I wouldn’t allow Eduardo wipe down my family without suffering for it. Fighting with my eyes as I tried to be conscious. It’s been two days, two days since I was kidnapped, two days since I had eaten anything or talked to anyone. I could only know the time because of the clock around here, I guessed a Catholic Church was close by. I couldn’t hear anyone passing by, I wondered where they brought me. The clock sounded faraway so I was sure I wasn’t anywhere close to it. Thinking about my family, I cracked my brain more for any ideas. I had to save myself from this dilemma. Eduardo was a bastard thinking he could have anything he wanted, I had to prove him wrong. I wasn’t going to let my parents get disappointed with me. Thinking about Adele just made me thrive more. I was sure she would be missi
CHAPTER 144 CHLOE’S POV The sound of the birds chirping signified the early morning of the day. Waking up, I checked on Adele that was lying peacefully by my side. She had insisted on sleeping with me and I couldn’t deny her that privilege. Quickly doing my morning duties, I walked to Adele and woke her up. “Sleeping beauty,” I teased as she resisted my hands, still snoring softly. Adele was the exact replica of Nathan, I didn’t know if it was just me but she reminded me so much of him. It was just like he was her. Quickly dismissing the thoughts of Nathan. I got back to what I was doing. Picking her up, I did her morning duties as fast as I could. I had to get to work as soon as possible for something important. “Dada.” I heard Adela saying as I put on her clothes. My mind wandered off to Nathan, he still hasn’t called. Feeling disturbed and worried, I tried shaking off the feeling but I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I knew what she was feeling, it wasn’t a g
220Chloe"Dada!" Adele's screams echoed through the air as Nathan swung her all over the place. I smiled at the sight. Her giggles were contagious. I watched through the window. Watched him spin her around, laughing his head off with her and for a minute I allowed myself to get lost in the moment with them. This was the life I had wanted all along. A happy home, a happy place, a perfect family. My eyes fell on my trembling hands and I retreated, allowing the blinds to fall. Except for the fact that we were the furthest from perfect. It had been three months since the accident. Three months since the truth of... Well everything was exposed. Mahn my life was a fucking rollercoaster. The more I thought about it, the more impressed I was that I had survived it at all. And it seemed it all started from that crazy one night stand. The world, my world, cracked and shook around its edges right from the day that I had met Nathan. If he hadn't gotten me pregnant, I most likely wouldn't hav
CHAPTER 219 NATHAN’S POV I headed to the doctor's office to collect discharge papers and a few other documents. Chloe was finally certified to be discharged and I couldn't be as happy as I was now. I was finally getting what I wanted. Signing something on the discharged paper, we started preparing for her departure. When I meant we, I meant Addison and Cameron and it was a very chaotic event. “Stop hissing, it's irritating!” I heard Cameron’s disgusted voice yelling at Addison. “Don’t you dare speak to me,” Addison warned. Feeling very embarrassed, I could see the several burning eyes on the scene happening. They had started with their annoying banter. Couldn't they just get along? I understood that Addison was annoying but Cameron had to behave like a man and stop whining like a child. I was getting angry with their actions and was only trying to cover it up with a smile. Women just loved arguing and that was it for Addison. She wouldn't miss a chance to argue with yo
CHAPTER 218 NATHAN’S POV I got to the hospital parking lot with a smile on my face. Walking into the hospital, I was very excited. Nothing was stopping me from getting her now, both Eduardo and Tristan were rotting in jail and that was all I could ask for. Pushing the don't open, I mentally groaned to see who was there with her. I was about to barge in when something stopped me. Chloe was sitting up while facing Addison and Adele with the widest smile I had ever seen. She was speaking gently and was even laughing. It felt like ages since I have seen that bright smile on her face, Chloe was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. She was always smiling and helping everyone regardless of her problems. She had a heart of gold and was always reaching out to others, losing her would be the biggest mistake I would make if I allowed it. I had already lost my loved ones once, I wasn’t going to allow this one again. Not again, she was mine alone! Seeing this just made m
CHAPTER 217 NATHAN’S POV I walked casually with Cameron beside me as we met with Officer Alex. “Good morning,” we exchanged pleasantries as he welcomed us into his office. We couldn't interrogate Eduardo a day before because he had been taken to hospital because of some minor injuries. “Are you ready?” Alex asked as we walked to meet Eduardo. “Never been this ready, I had been ready for this my whole life,” I added as I put on a forced smile. Wishing that Chloe was here to witness this, my mind drifted to her. I was going to make sure I call the nurse after this. I was also worried about her safety and had stationed two private guards for her. As far as Eduardo is concerned, he could strike anyone. I was very wary of that man and didn’t want any accident to repeat itself twice. I was never going to allow Eduardo to get to my family again, especially when I was still alive! Even if it means killing him, I would gladly do so without hesitating. He had done more than enoug

NATHAN’S POV I walked into the police station with Cameron as he discussed something with them. “You are back again?” I heard a policeman ask. “Yes, I want to reopen the case of Noah Nathan and his family,” I said as the cop went through the file. “A murder case,” I added again as they searched for it before finding it. Going through it, he nods his head. “I assume you have several pieces of evidence now?” He asked as I nodded my head. He invited me into his office and I started discussing everything with him. “That’s fine, let me arrange for an arrest,” he said before calling a junior officer. Everything was finally falling in place, I was going to get my revenge and also get my girl back. Eduardo shouldn't have played those silly games and thought I wouldn't get him. Though it was difficult, he shouldn't have messed with me. I was going to teach both him and Tristan a very good lesson. “Arrange for an arrest, Mr. Tristan, owner of….” I heard the cop saying b
NATHAN’S POV “Focus man!” I heard Cameron’s frustrated voice as I failed to carry the heavy weight for the fifth time. “I am not in the mood for this shit!” I said angrily before walking away. Not knowing why I was angry, I tried calming down my nerves. Cam was just trying to help, I shouldn't have snapped at him in that way. Everything was only because of her, it's been days since I last visited Chloe. Calling the nurse to ask if she was doing fine. I understood if Chloe wanted space and that was what I was giving her but it wasn't easy for me. My heart yearns for her presence. I was slowly going crazy with everything that has been happening lately. Every thought was connected to her, now that I knew she was innocent of everything I feel so stupid for even doubting her. She was the mother of my child and the least I could do was trust her but I had failed woefully. I had one job to do, to trust and love her but I had failed. Remembering how I had spoken to her that night
NATHAN’S POV I groaned as I went to the kitchen to search for something to eat. My mind wandered off to Chloe. “I am sure she will be fine,” I said to myself as I grabbed some cookies and a glass of juice. Walking to my office, I settled down and started some serious work. I was planning an event for models, actors and everyone in the entertainment sector so it had to be perfect. I started my work and didn’t know that time had passed, I was so buried in my work that I hadn’t noticed. Time flies as they always say, you wouldn’t believe it till you start experiencing it yourself. I went down the memory lane of how everything started. My meeting with Chloe, our relationship, everything was just so fast and now we were here. Judging by Chloe’s action I don’t think she can forgive me. I have been trying to deny that for a long time but it is getting obvious daily. She doesn’t say much and would rather ignore me. Sighing heavily, I rubbed my temples anxiously. Her being with
NATHAN’S POV “I don’t still support you buying her these flowers,” Cameron argued as we walked into the hospital. “Ohh please, Chloe is my wife and I know what she wants,” I announced angrily. “Technically, she isn't, you are only trying to win her over,” Cameron said with sarcasm. I wanted to strangle him, when you are friends with someone like Cam he does everything to annoy you. Facing him, I gave him a hard glare before storming out of his sight. “Wait, I am sorry,” I heard him say but rather chose to ignore. “I need to use the restroom,” he said but I still ignored him. “Dickhead!” I cursed before entering the hospital room. Looking bewildered, I couldn’t believe the person I was also seeing. Someone who despised me with her whole heart. “Hey Addison,” I greeted with a crooked smile as she scowled at me. Addison was always with a scowl, I wondered how Chloe was friends with her. Chloe was always happy while Addison was always the opposite. So uptight and annoying! Breathi
