CHAPTER 198

CHLOE’S POV

I heaved a long breath after the movie came to an end, I had decided to watch a movie just so I could relieve myself from all the stress. I had decided to move on, dwelling in the past wasn't going to fix anything. I wished all of this was a dream, praying silently for Nathan to call back and apologize. I was staying back in North Carolina, wishing Nathan would call back but he hadn't. He really did mean what he said, pushing the thoughts away. I decided to start packing some of my stuff.

I needed to be out of this environment, even my room had turned against me. My room keeps reminding me about the last nights I and Nathan had together. His touch, kisses, everything was still fresh in my head! Trying to take it off was pointless, I couldn't stop thinking about everything. It was stuck and I had to realize how much I love Nathan.

My phone vibrating loudly made me glance at the phone screen, seeing it was Addison’s number I hesitated to pi

    CHAPTER 199 CHLOE’S POV Rushing out of the house, I drove speedily to only God knows. “That bastard!” I cursed as I hit my car angrily. I loathed Tristan with everything I own, he didn’t deserve to be called a human. He was such a coward, using my friend against me, no real man would do something as despicable as this. I grabbed my phone as I checked the address he sent to me. Not knowing where it was located, I connected my phone to the car just so I called use Google Maps. I tried to ignore the feeling of anger that was brewing in me. “I just hope Addy is fine,” I prayed silently before calling David. David picked up his phone at the second ring as I heaved a long breath. “Hey,” he greeted. Ignoring his pleasantries, I went directly to the point. “Tristan has struck!” I said with anger as David went silent on the other side of the phone. “What do you mean by that?” David asked confused as I scoffed angrily. “I just got his call now, he has taken Addison in the capture,

    Nathan Mahn, I had no idea labor took so fucking long. I thought I would lose my damned mind with each passing meeting, standing outside the labor room. I couldn't hear a thing unlike shit I saw in movies because the room was soundproof, but hell that was even scarier. I was terrified as hell. How was Lily doing? Now that I thought about it, her belly was pretty swollen. Could have contained four large watermelons easily. Was that normal? Ah fuck. I was doomed. I should have asked a long time ago if that was normal. She'd had to carry all that weight for some four months and dear God that's crazy stuff. If that baby pops out and grows up to have a shitty personality, I'd tan his hide! Okay, calm down Nathan, fucking breathe. If I was this anxious, then Lily must be losing her mind in there. Was this how it was for Chloe when she had Adele? A twinge of guilt in my chest made me grimace. Chloe had nobody to stay with her. I missed the birth of my daughter and missed her first two ye

    201Chloe"If I had killed you, what exactly would I have gained? Taking you away worked quite well for me, didn't it? Mary couldn't give birth, we couldn't have a daughter to give off in marriage to the Benjamins. Taking you away from your parents gave us the chance to be inlaws with Carolina's best! Until you blew it off and ran away like a coward!" Tristan yelled the veins that lined his head popping in anger as he spoke. "You're a cruel man," I spat. "As if taking their company wasn't enough, you took their daughter and pawned her off for your benefit," Tristan laughed again. "Oh Chloe, Chloe, you are such a little girl, aren't you? If I do not fight for my benefit, who will? Nobody else I assure you. The world doesn't care about the grunt, they care about the cream of the crop. I am determined to be that cream no matter what." "And I guess killing me is part of whatever you need to do, right?" He nodded, pursed his lips then spoke up. "I do not have to kill you, Chloe. I did

    202 Chloe We ran like hell. Ran like our asses were on fucking fire. Since Tristan had gone out to check the source of the noise, Addison and I dashed through the opposite end of the building and raced out into the woods. For a long while that was all we did. We ran like crazy. After finding a large tree to hide behind, we stopped there to catch our breaths. "H-He would... He would have noticed we left," Addison wheezed, bending over to breathe easy. I panted, breathing heavily through my mouth as I peeked behind the tree. There was no Tristan in sight. That didn't mean it was safe though. As long as the police weren't here yet, we weren't safe.David! I remembered the alarm. My hands reached into my pocket to bring out my phone and... "Shit!" I swore, straightening immediately, my eyes wide with fear. Oh shit! Shit! Shit! I waa such a fucking fool! I had forgotten entirely about the phone. "What is it?" Addison asked breathlessly, her hair was stuck everywhere, matted t

    203NathanMy knees knocked together rapidly as I sat on the metal chair. The door next to me had a plaque on it that read DNA center. I knew what this looked like. Like I didn't trust Lily. And we'll, to some extent, trust Lily. When I had first met LiLy, I had recently left mom and Dad's company. I wanted to step out of Noah's shadow as the second child. I wanted to make a name for myself. My own name. And well, for some time it worked. Nathan Industries was just starting up. We barely had a few employees and a woman taking interest in me at that time felt pretty good. She had felt like the only thing going right for me. But, there was a clause. I didn't want a relationship. I just wanted the sex. Relationships were messy and I didn't think I had the time or commitment to have handled one back then. Of course I had made this clear to Lily. I tried to. And she agreed. She had dropped into my world like a hot gift and my life never remained the same. That wasn't even an exaggerati

    204Nathan I walked at the pace of a mad man. My feet hit the ground rapidly, walking as fast as I could to Lily's ward. ...You are not the father...I had been tricked. All along, I had been fooled by all the women in my life. They had made me believe something else entirely. Chloe had deceived me. She had gone to shake hands with Eduardo behind my back despite knowing who that despicable man was and what he did to me! And now Lily? My feet rounded the a corner, and I wished it would.propel me faster than that. I couldn't run in a hospital , there were sick and old people lying about. Knocking anyone of them down would definitely slow my plans. In my back pocket, my phone vibrated with a call and reluctantly, I slowed my steps to bring it out, yanking out the device with so much force. Cameron. Ah fuck , what now?"Hey man," Cam's voice reached my ears and I merely grunted in reply. "How's Lily, didn't hear from you, that's why I called?""Lily is fucking fine. So damn fine,"

    205Nathan"Hey," Lily smiled tiredly when I stepped into her ward. She sat up on her bed, leaning against the headrest and rocking the baby's cot beside her. To give her the much needed rest and privacy she deserved, I had reserved a private ward for her and the baby. Noah's baby. The bitterness I thought I had managed to tamper down surfaced again and I felt angrier. Angry at sight of her smiling at me as if all was fucking well. As if she hadn't just deceived me and tried to foist my brother's baby on me. "Have you seen him?" She asked, placing a hand on the baby cot beside her, gently rocking it. "Isn't he adorable?" I almost laughed. Was she trying to fucking spite me? Or did she really not see the resemblance between her baby and Noah. I couldn't be the only one who saw it. Unless she was blind or some shit. "Hmm," I hummed while walking to the baby's side. He was asleep and yeah, he still had that knowing smile on his face. I didn't hate the child. Oh he was innocent. The

    206What?!"What?" I echoed my thoughts, feeling my anger get replaced by shock as I stared at her. She sniffed, her hands coming up to cover her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. Fucking great, another fucking pretence. Didn't she ever get tired? "I... I know it was wrong. I had just agreed to be your mistress and I was fine with it. One day while.you were at work, Noah came looking for you at home. I hadn't left after our night together so he met me." She sniffed again and I could swear that it fucking irritated the shit out of me. "We talked-""Talked? Talking certainly didn't produce that baby, I would know that.""We just talked. It was three years ago Nathan!""I don't care how.long it was. Hell was the baby from three years ago even mine?! The one you miscarried?" Her eyes drifted down to the bed."Fuck," I whispered. I had no idea why I was still surprised. Lily had been deceiving me all along. "It wasn't mine either?" "There was no baby," She mumbled. "I just got so

    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
