A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 168
168 A moment of silence enveloped the interrogation room, the tension so thick, I could taste it. And I wasn't even in the room with them! Eduardo's eyes flickered with warily, the struggle between the truth and his desperation etched on his face was clear. Confess you slimy bastard! Finally, his voice cracked, his confession emerging in a strained whisper. "Alright, alright! I... I did it. I killed them. Nathan's parents. I couldn't let them expose me." A heavy silence settled upon the room as the detectives absorbed Eduardo's admission. The truth, once hidden beneath layers of deceit, now hung in the air, raw and undeniable. Detective Alvarez broke the silence. "Well thank you for finally telling the truth, Eduardo after about three damned hours. I'll expect that you'll need some time in prison to cool off." As the weight of Eduardo's confession settled upon the room, Cameron tapped me and inclined his head to the side. "We've gotten what we came for yes?" He asked and I n

169 NATHAN "No way," I chuckled but poured myself another glass as well. The glasses clinked together, the amber liquid swirling within, capturing the essence of the moment. With each sip, the taste of victory mingled with the recognition of the challenges that still lay ahead. But in that moment, we savored the sweet respite, the shared moment of celebration amidst the chaos that had consumed our lives. As we sat there, the weight of our journey momentarily set aside, our conversation flowed freely. We hadn't had time to relax in a long ass while and it was refreshing. The night carried on, the atmosphere in the bar pulsating with life. Laughter mingled with the clinking of glasses, creating a symphony of celebration. And in the midst of it all, I found solace in the company of a friend who had stood by my side through thick and thin. As the hours slipped away, the effects of the whiskey warmed our souls, emboldening us to face the challenges that still awaited. With a newfou

170Dialing his number, my heart fluttered with anticipation. Each ring felt like a countdown, bringing me closer to the moment when I would hear Nathan's voice on the other end of the line. "Hello," "Nathan, hey it's Chloe," I mumbled. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I wanted to ask how the case with Eduardo is going." There was a brief pause and a lot of shuffling before Nathan responded, his voice tinged with weariness and a drunken edge. "Oh yeah! That bastard's in jail. Messed with the wrong person he did. He'll be gone soon and we can all live our lives in peace." A wave of relief washed over me, knowing that progress was being made. Eduardo's arrest meant he was no longer capable of hurting me or Adele. At least one threat had been taken care of. "Thats great news," I replied. Nathan chuckled. "Yeah it is. Thank you, Chloe. We couldn't have done this without you." "Mhmm, might as well admit that you need me," I teased and earned a wistful laugh from him.

As I ended the call with Chloe, a wide grin spread across my face, my heart still fluttering with the anticipation of our upcoming reunion. The joy within me was practically palpable, radiating through every fiber of my being.Lost in my thoughts, I was brought back to reality by Cameron's teasing voice. "Nathan, you've got that goofy grin plastered all over your face. I can only assume it's because of Chloe. Looks like you're love struck, my friend."I chuckled, shaking my head at Cameron's playful remark. "Oh, come on, Cam. Love struck? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? I'm just happy to be seeing Chloe tonight, that's all."Cameron raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Just happy? Nathan, my dear brother, I've known you long enough to recognize that look on your face. You're head over heels, my friend."The banter between us continued as we made our way to the bar, the dimly lit atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for our lighthearted jesting. It was a ch

172I made my way to Chloe's home, a sense of excitement bubbling within me. As I approached the front door, anticipation mingled with the familiarity of her presence. Opening the door, I was greeted by her radiant smile, a sight that never failed to warm my heart. The air was filled with laughter and playfulness as we engaged in our favorite pastime – teasing each other. Chloe's eyes sparkled mischievously as she threw a playful jab my way, her words dancing on the tip of her tongue. "Oh, Nathan, I see that mischievous glint in your eyes. What do you have up your sleeve today?" Ah fuck this was the life. She made me so damn happy, it felt like a dream all over and over again. I matched her playful tone, a grin spreading across my face. "Oh, you'll just have to wait and see, my dear Chloe. But rest assured, it's going to be something that'll leave you pleasantly surprised." She snorted and a mock frown slid over my face. "What? Now you're mocking me?" Giggling, she raced away f

As Nathan's lips left mine, a warmth spread throughout my body, and a longing for his presence overwhelmed me. I looked into his eyes, hoping he would understand the unspoken plea that danced within my gaze. "Do you have to go home, Nathan?" I asked softly, my voice laced with a desperate yearning. He paused for a moment, his eyes searching mine, as if deciphering the hidden desires in my words. And then, with a tender smile, he responded, "No, Chloe. I don't have to go anywhere. I want to be here with you." I grinned and pulled him closer, craving his touch and his presence. Our bodies pressed against each other, fitting perfectly as if we were two puzzle pieces finally finding their rightful place. "Oh" I purred, closing my eyes as his lips ran down my neck, slowly and softly, gently stroking the nape until I became nothing but a jelly-like mess in his arms. "Nathan," In that intimate embrace, our souls intertwined, and time lost all meaning. The world outside faded into insignif

I felt Chloe stirring in my arms, I held her tighter, sensing that something was bothering her. Concern etched across my face, my eyes flew open to look down at her. Her face was contorted in a frown and she held me tighter. Gently brushing her hair away from her eyes, I asked, "What's wrong, Baby? Is something on your mind?" She hesitated for a moment, as if struggling with her thoughts before finally finding the courage to speak. "Nathan, how many months pregnant is Lily?" Her voice trembled and those sweet eyes looked pretty serious. I took a deep breath, knowing that this was a delicate subject to broach. Lily had long been a thorn in both our flesh. And it was all my damned fault. "She's about eight months along," I replied, my voice filled with a mixture of heaviness and responsibility. "Oh wow. She'll deliver anytime soon. You should stay with them. She is the mother of your child." Chloe's suggestion took me by surprise. Her words hung in the air, urging me to stay with Lil

I leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Chloe's lips, savoring the taste of her affection. The morning sun bathed us in a warm glow as we continued to playfully tease and laugh, relishing in the joy of being together. But just as the carefree moments seemed to stretch on endlessly, my phone pierced the air with its insistent ringtone. I reached for it, recognizing Cameron's name flashing on the screen. With a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, I answered the call. "Cameron, what's up?" I asked, my voice filled with a hint of excitement. His voice crackled with enthusiasm on the other end. "Nathan, you won't believe it! The trial for Eduardo has been fixed. It's finally happening!" A surge of exhilaration coursed through my veins, a rush of emotions that I struggled to contain. The long-awaited moment of justice was finally within reach, and the realization sent a wave of elation crashing over me. A wide smile spread across my face as I turned to Chloe, my eyes sparkling with ne

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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 219
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

A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 215
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 213
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 212
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
