CHAPTER 160 CHLOE’S POV Shocked, as I sat up abruptly. “Cameron is missing?” I asked again to reconfirm if my ears were playing games with me. This has to be a joke, Cameron was very smart and he couldn’t be easily caught. “Who do you think kept him in hostage?” I asked with a hushed tone. “Who else? It’s Eduardo, that I am very sure of. That man is a bastard!” Nathan replies angrily as he got up and started pacing around the room. “What should we do? This is really complicated!” I said as I ruffled my air in confusion. Massaging my temples as that was what I needed now, I needed to think well. All of this was overwhelming, it was only in movies I saw people getting kidnapped this way. Eduardo was so dangerous if he was behind this! I can’t believe that he would do something like this, doesn’t he care about other people’s feelings. He was already a successful man with so much to account for but greediness wouldn’t let him see all of this. He was too greedy and wanted
CHAPTER 161 CHLOE’S POV Feeling exhausted and tired as I got down from my car in the garage, i wakes to the house with a smile on my face. Feeling very proud of having a piece of information for Nathan was what the excitement was all about. Checking the environment before I entered the house, I locked the door behind me. “I am home!” I Called out to Nathan but he didn’t respond. Getting scared already as I searched thoroughly, only to see him staring at a paper in the basements. “Seriously Nathan! I almost got an heart attack!”I whined as he gave me a forced smile. Knowing I had to be vigilant now, Eduardo was searching for Nathan desperately. We had to be on a hideout now! I couldn’t lose Nathan, at least not now. We are about to start another new chapters of our lives, with Adele with us. I could already imagine how things would be “What’s with the paper?” I asked as I stared at the paper curiously. “I’ll tell you about this later, how was your day?” He
CHAPTER 162 CHLOE’S POV I groaned as I felt Nathan placing lots of kisses on my arms. “Baby, I still want to sleep.” I whined as he wouldn’t stop disturbing me. I felt a slap on my ass as I woke up with a glare. “Seriously, are we doing this!” I asked with a mischievous smile. “I honestly wouldn’t mind but we have a lot to do today,” he got off the bed and threw a kiss at me. Laughing at his silliness, I got off and said my prayers before heading to the bathroom for my early morning routines but this time with a large smile placed on my lips. These past few days just made me realize how much I love Nathan, I had been trying to deny my feelings for quite some time now but it wasn’t working. I finally agreed with my feelings and it was the best thing ever! “Are you still in there? I will come in and spank your ass again if you don’t hurry!” He threatened and I smirked. “I’ll love that!” I retorted, making him chuckle before walking away. Quickly doing my thing, I got
CHAPTER 163 CHLOE’S POV “Do you have any vital information concerning Tristan! I have some things going on, asking my boys to dig out information about Tristan can disrupt it.” I heard Eduardo’s annoying voice again. “What is so important anyways?” I asked as I rolled my eyes. “Are you suggesting that I get the information myself, not after I have given you such a rigorous amount of money!” I said I was already getting angry. “Calm down, you were looking so jovial this morning, where did that go to?” Je chuckled trying to crack a joke as I stared at him with a neutral face. “Can you tell me what this wealth entails, like the worth?” He asked again. Trying not to slap his face hard, I relaxed remembering his stupid smile was going to be replaced with anger soon. “Fifty percent of the wealth should be about three hundred million dollars.” I said, making him laugh. “This is such a good deal, In Fact the best so far!” He exclaimed happily. “Let’s celebrate! Why aren’t y
CHAPTER 164 CHLOE’S POV Getting into my garage, I stopped the car almost abruptly as I got down in a rush. Feeling so scared, I just wanted to be around someone. It was going to help me stable my anxiety at this moment, opening the door to see Nathan stand in a stance. He relaxed after noticing it was me. “Babe!” I called as I walked to him and embraced him. Feeling his warm body on mine, I felt my muscles relax as I sniffed his shirt. “Thank you so much baby, I love you so much.” He confessed, making me blush hard. I know this wasn’t the first time Nathan was saying this but this felt special in some ways I can’t explain. Just as I was about to reply, Cameron cleared his throat. “Lover boy, you know we need to hurry.” He said with a voice that got me so annoyed. Honestly this Cam of a guy was spoiler alert! Giving him an annoyed look, he just stared at me. “For someone that just got his ass saved, you seem quite proud.” I said I was already losing my temper. Nathan
165 I carefully dress Adele for bed, making sure she's comfortable and cozy. Once she's asleep, I take a deep breath, knowing that I have to make my move now. Adele will be flying to Florida with Addison, where she'll be safe and away from all the chaos. It's a tough decision, but I have to prioritize her safety above all else. I couldn't let Tristan get to her, over my fucking dead body! IMy eyes ran over my daughter's body and tears stung the corner of my eyes. I really was sending her away! How would she cope without me?! How would she live without her mother? I brushed the hair on her forehead side amd placed a kiss, my heart squeezing in agony. "It's all for your good baby," I whispered, stroking her hair. "It's all to protect you I swear," There was a knock on my door and I sighed, pulling away before it became even harder to let go off her. "Come in?" I mumbled. Addison stepped in, looking every bit glum as I did. "Do we really have to do this?" She asked, her gaz
166 Addison As the jet took off, I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension coursing through my veins. Shit was about to hit the fan, wasn't it? It had been hard to keep up with Chloe and the many complications she constantly had tied with her! Why couldn't we live a normal life in New York?! It wasn't extravagant and there was no one pampering us and all that shit, but we were happy. We were happy until David steppes into our lives. I settle into my seat, keeping a watchful eye on Adele, and sniffed. Chloe deserved a much more happy life. A life separate from all this rivalry nonsense and constant hiding. Since we came back to.this stupid place, there had been nothing but pain and suspense. Tristan wouldn't be out for Adele if Chloe had never come back to claim some dumbass company. Hell, the more I thought about it, the more angrier I felt. This was all David's fault! And I did tell Chloe then not to listen to him. He wasn't worth it! Now look where that old man dumped us.
167 As Eduardo was escorted out of the building, his eyes darted around, searching for an escape that would never come. "Aww would you look at that? The big baby wants to escape," Cam taunted. "In his fucking wildest dreams," I spat, watching them shove him inside the car. In that moment, the weight that had burdened my heart for months now began to lift, replaced by a flicker of hope. The murderer, the man who killed my parents and brother, had been caught. And I would see to it that he remained punished! A cop approached us then as one of the vehicles containing Eduardo drove off. "Would you like to watch the interrogation?" He asked. "I understand how important this is for you." I nodded. I definitely wanted to see it. That bastard would lie and do everything he could to thwart this off him. He was just that kind of person. Bastard. Cameron and I quickly slipped into our vehicle, following them from a safe distance. This was our chance to witness justice unfold first
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
