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
CHAPTER 145 CHLOE’S POV Storming out of the house I had made so much memories, I felt disappointed in myself. I had promised myself not to get distracted by Nathan but here I was, visiting his house and causing commotion. “This is so fucked up!” I said angrily as I hit the steering yoke angrily. Feeling the tears threatening to spill, I immediately cleaned my eyes. “No, I am not doing this,” I muttered before starting the car. “Fuck Nathan and Lily.” I shouted before zooming off angrily. I hated everything about Nathan and that was the last time I was going to have anything to do with him. He was a bastard! I hated Lily more, very rude and obnoxious. I was going to deal with everything, besides I was very capable of taking care of my daughter, both financially and emotionally. Adele doesn’t need a stupid father who doesn’t care about his daughter. Driving crazily as I wanted to be home at the moment, I got to my garage. Parking my car, I removed my silhouette
CHAPTER 146 NATHAN’S POV Struggling with the rope, I finally got my hands on the phone. Thanking God silently, I tried opening the phone but it was locked. “Fuck!” I muttered angrily. I should have known, a bastard like him will always keep his phone locked. Trying to think of a figure for his password, I finally resorted to hacking it. It was a stupid idea to try to think about his code, we weren’t that close and the few times we were, it was more of a facade. Trying to remember how I could hack into the phone, I panicked. I have to do this fast, Eduardo wasn’t that silly. He was going to find out,In a few minutes, he was going to be storming into this room in search of his phone. “Please remember something,” I begged my brain as I racked through the phone. Finally remembering something, I thanked my luck as I started typing furiously. After typing for some minutes, the phone restarted and unlocked by itself. “Thank you God!” I shouted as I immediately dialed Camer
CHAPTER 147 CHLOE’S POV Trying to act calm, I couldn’t control it. I didn’t believe Nathan was kidnapped, didn’t Lily say he wasn’t? I felt stupid for believing what Lily said and getting angry unnecessarily. I decided to continue talking to him on the phone, everything seems strange. Eduardo kidnapped Nathan? Why? Several questions run through my mind. What business does Nathan have with Eduardo and who was this strange man. Looking at Cameron, I saw him typing furiously on the computer and giving instructions to Nathan. I tried helping in any way I could but decided to sit back and watch. “Gently walk to any opening,” Cameron said with urgency as Nathan did as he was told. “Bingo,” Cameron shouted and I walked to the computer to see where it was. “This is a outskirts town!” I exclaimed angrily. “Where exactly?” Nathan asked curiously but Cameron ignored him as he continued thinking for a while. “Let’s not forget that Eduardo can come anytime,” I warned as I star
CHAPTER 148 CAMERON’S POV Taking my car from the garage, I got into the car hurriedly as I speed along the highway, swerving quickly to avoid a fleet of cars coming my way. I knew I was going to be arrested by the police after this but I had a good reason. Taking a short route as I tried to reduce the journey that was two hours from here to an hour. Eduardo was so smart, bringing Nathan to the outskirts of the city was a smart move. It was almost like he wanted Nathan to die there but I wasn’t going to allow that. Praising myself for being a good racer , I continued to avoid any cars. Knowing how short-tempered Eduardo was, I understood if Chloe was not able to complete the task. Looking at the location, I noticed I was almost there. My phone vibrating me alerted me as I parked the car to answer the call. “I couldn’t hold up for two hours, he seems kind of pissed,” I heard Chloe’s voice over the phone. I honestly didn’t want her involved in all of this but Nathan al
CHAPTER 149 CHLOE’S POV Trying to focus on Adele who was throwing tantrums, I ended up spanking her real bad. “Go and take a nap,” I forced her as I cajoled her into sleeping. Feeling very disturbed and angry at the same time. The drama I had with Addison still not leaving my mind, she despises Nathan for a reason best known to her. I was starting to have a feeling that there was more to it, definitely Addison was hiding something from it. Honestly, if it were to be a movie, she might have a secret fling on Nathan but it was reality and she wouldn’t do something like that. “I never knew you had become a life saver, you didn’t even think about Adele. I already warned you, stay the hell away from Nathan!” Addison shouted angrily as I narrowed my eyes. “You have to be kidding,” I said with a scoff as I took Adele to her room. Children tend to pick things from adults, I didn’t want her to see me arguing and think it is the right thing. I wanted Adele to be trained i
CHAPTER 150 CHLOE’S POV Not being able to deny how terrified I was as many thoughts crossed my mind. What if they had been killed? Several questions with no answers and all I could do was pace around the room. Starting to feel too suffocated, I knew it was time to talk to someone. Picking my phone as I scrolled down the phone log, searching for the most reliable person I could talk to, my face beamed as I dialed the number. He was sure the only person I could talk to and was confident about since everyone had bailed out already. Being alone in this world will teach you so many lessons, knowing who to bring closer or stay far away from. People were quick to change feelings towards you in matter of seconds. Finally picking his call after ringing severally, I heaved a long breath. Understanding that he was a very busy person, I wasn’t really offended. “Good morning Arabella,” David says quite awkwardly. Shrugging the feeling off, I continued what I was saying. “I
CHAPTER 151 NATHAN’S POV Feeling a little bit sore, I tried doing some exercises as the pain was becoming quite unbearable and uncomfortable, my legs and wrist still hurt badly from everything that had happened recently. Heading over to the fridge, I collected some juice as I gulped it down hurriedly. My throat was already dry, all I needed was cold juice that was good for me. Leaving the kitchen, I wandered around the house for some time before heading back to the sitting room. Feeling very bored, I tried thinking of doing something else rather than watching a movie. Finally defeated, I was sitting with popcorn and on the other hand with my TV remote as I scrolled through, searching for the perfect movie. Finally deciding on an action genre, I settled down to watch. Not being a movie person, I wasn’t intrigued as I just stared at the TV screen boringly. “This is so annoying,” I muttered angrily as I thought about Chloe and Adele, they were the only reason why I hadn’
