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
CHAPTER 154 LILY’S POV I couldn’t help but pace around the room anxiously, what was all of this about. It had been more than a week since Nathan had left, I had thought it was his usual way of living but this had been longer than usual. Trying to keep calm, I couldn’t help but grow anxious. There was just this feeling at the back of my mind, I didn’t know if everything was fine with him. Shoving the bowl of ice cream I was taking, I called his number for the umptenth time but he wasn’t responding. “This is so annoying!” I shouted to no one in particular. I was going insane, I couldn’t continue like this. Even if it means going to Arabella’s house to drag him,I was going to do it. Tired of this roller coaster life, I decided on what to do. Grabbing my car keys, I headed to the nearby Cops station. Whether he was safe or not, I think it was the right time for me to report to them. This was just so irresponsible of him, even ignoring my current condition. The co
CHAPTER 155 CHLOE’S POV Waking up with the biggest smile ever, I did my morning routine with a smile plastered on my face. I couldn’t believe all what has been happening this few days, wishing Adele was old enough so I could also share the good news with her. Still deciding to tell her what had happened, she only stared at me like a strange being. I had a meeting today with some of my colleagues. I had decided to enter into the industry again, this time with full force! Quickly rushing into the bathroom as I was already late, I rushed everything as fast as I could, I scrubbed my body while thinking about Nathan’s hands on mine. Quickly snapping out of the thoughts as I rushed out of the bathroom. I had been thinking about him nonstop and it was becoming alarming! Staring at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t help but think about the beautiful image of Nathan holding my delicate hands. Quickly dispersing such thoughts, I decided to head out to the cafe. It was t
CHAPTER 156 CHLOE’S POV Going home, I shed a few tears as I tried to control my anger. My knuckles tightly holding the steering wheel as I drive angrily to my house. Getting home, I barged in only to see Addison sitting down and watching some movie. Staring at her with anger, I tried not to bounce on her angrily. “What are you doing here?” I asked as I closed the door behind me. She stared at me with a confused look. “Are you seriously asking me that question, silly!” She said with a scoff as she turned her back and continued watching the movie, making me very angry. Addison was always like this, trying to settle disputes through petty means. I wanted her to apologize for her wrong doings, else I would stay angry with her! “We can’t just pretend like everything is fine, nothing is fine!” I added trying to gain her attention. “Seriously babes, I don’t under what you are talking about,” Addison said with the most innocent face ever! Urghh! This was why I hated t
