A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 175
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

I watched her expression change, the lines on her forehead deepening as she absorbed the news delivered by her lawyer. It was clear that whatever David had shared with her had struck a chord, raising new questions and concerns that threatened to disturb our newfound peace. With a heavy sigh, Chloe turned to me, a hint of frustration mingling with the worry etched on her face. I reached out, my fingers gently tracing the contours of her cheek, silently reassuring her that I was there for her. "Nathan, it's important," she murmured, her voice tinged with a touch of regret. "David needs me." A sense of disappointment washed over me, but I understood the gravity of the situation. Sometimes, life demanded our attention and compelled us to face its challenges head-on, even when we longed for the solace of each other's arms. Reluctantly, I released my hold on Chloe, allowing her the space to address the urgent matter at hand. But before she left, I leaned in, capturing her lips in a linge

I returned to the room, the weight of the situation heavy upon my shoulders. Despite Nathan's invitation to rejoin him in bed, I found myself unable to muster the same sense of intimacy that had filled the room just moments before. My mind was consumed with thoughts of the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. Seeking solace in the bathroom, I turned on the shower, the sound of water cascading down providing a comforting backdrop to my swirling thoughts. The steam enveloped me, creating a veil of privacy as I stood beneath the soothing stream of water, lost in contemplation. As the water washed away the physical and emotional residue of the past, I found myself reflecting on the decision to assume the identity of Arabella Montgomery. It had been a desperate move, a means to reclaim what was rightfully mine – my parents' properties and companies that had been cruelly stolen by Tristan. But now, with Eduardo out of the picture and Tristan's malevolence looming over us, I couldn't sh

I stepped into the grand lobby of Nathan's Industries, taking in the sight of my dedicated team bustling with energy. The air was electric, filled with anticipation and excitement that radiated from every corner. It had been nearly two weeks since I had been physically present, and it was clear that my return was met with genuine happiness. As I made my way through the bustling corridors, I was greeted by smiling faces, nods of recognition, and warm words of welcome.

The briefing had not only brought me up to speed on important matters but also reaffirmed my belief in the strength and dedication of my team.

"What do you want, Eduardo?" I mustered the strength to retort, my voice tinged with defiance. "You're locked away, powerless. There's nothing you can do."Eduardo's laughter resonated through the phone, a chilling sound that pierced through the air. It was a reminder that even in confinement, his influence stretched far beyond the prison walls. The implications of his words sent a shiver down my spine."Oh, Nathan, my plans are just beginning," Eduardo sneered. "There are forces at work, people who share my desire for revenge. They will make your life a living hell. You won't escape unscathed."Anger surged within me, mixing with the fear that threatened to consume my resolve. I couldn't allow myself to succumb to Eduardo's threats. I had to stand strong, face him head-on, and ensure that justice prevailed."You can plot all you want, Eduardo," I declared, my voice firm and resolute. "But I won't be intimidated. You're imprisoned, and justice will be served. Your threats won't dictat

As I continued my scrutiny, I reminded myself that it was not a matter of mere paranoia, but a necessary precaution. Eduardo's reach extended beyond prison walls, and I had to ensure that I had a loyal and trustworthy team by my side.Hours passed, and my determination remained unwavering. I would leave no stone unturned, no detail overlooked. The safety of myself, my loved ones, and the future of my business depended on it.Finally, as the last profile flashed across the screen, I leaned back in my chair, a mix of satisfaction and wariness washing over me. The thoroughness of my scrutiny had left me with a renewed sense of confidence.

"Addison," I began, my voice quivering with an underlying urgency. "Please, promise me that you'll keep Adele safe. Watch over her with everything you have. I can't bear the thought of anything happening to her."Addison's voice was calm but laced with determination as she reassured me, promising to be vigilant and provide Adele with the utmost care and protection. I clung to her words, finding solace in the knowledge that she was there, acting as a shield between Adele and the dangers that lurked in the shadows.As I hung up the phone, a mix of fear and resolve coursed through my veins. The threat to our family was real, but I refused to let it overpower me. I would do whatever it took to keep Adele safe, to shield her from the darkness that threatened to consume us.With each step I took towards securing Adele's well-being, a flicker of determination burned brighter within me.

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

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
