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’
CHAPTER 152 CHLOE’S POV Groaning as the sun rays hit my eyes, I couldn’t help but groan loudly. Wishing I had magical powers to close the damn windows, I rolled on the king-sized bed. Covering my face with my duvet, I was about to slip to another round of sleep when my phone buzzed loudly on the table stand. “Urghhh!” I shouted before taking the phone angrily. Not even looking at who was speaking, I heard the voice of David. “Don’t tell me you are still in bed.” He said on the phone as I rolled my eyes. David was beginning to get on my nerves, I loved my early morning sleep and he was disrupting it. He was so nosy! “Well, I am still in bed. Quit disturbing!” I shouted and was about to press the red button when he stopped me. “You are not yet thirty, don’t tell me you forgot about the ball,” David teased, making me slap my forehead. “Seriously, is it today?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. It had completely slipped my mind. “In less than ten minutes, the dressi
CHAPTER 153 CHLOE’S POV Not being able to control my happiness, I didn’t know when I gave him a tight hug. I had been so worried about him, holding tight to him so he wouldn’t go again I heard a chuckle from Nathan. “You might end up killing me at this rate,” Nathan said with a chuckle as I released my hands away from his body. “Why didn’t you call me or inform me about what was going on?” I whined as I hit his stomach gently. “Ouch, that hurt!” Nathan said with evidence of pain in his face. I hated Eduardo for causing this kind of pain to him, looking at him with pity I wished he was with me. I would have helped apply balm and relieve his pain. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean it.” I immediately said as I helped him up. “There were several reasons why I couldn’t call, I had wanted to call, trust me. My heart had been yearning for your touch and Adele’s.” He said with so much emotion evident in his crystal eyes. This was what I wanted, the fact that he cared so muc
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
