A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 202
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 203
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 204
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,"
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 205
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 207
207NathanIgnoring the loud sound that permeated the entire hospital and the voice of the woman yelling from the reception desk for doctors in the emergency, I made my way towards the exit. I had to get out of there. Hell I had to get to the bar, have some whiskey and drown myself in alcohol. I felt so damn tired, I wanted respite from my roller coaster of emotions. I just wanted to get away. Forget everything. Chloe, Lily, Adele- I stopped in my tracks. No no not Adele. Not my daughter. Perhaps I could fight for custody. Chloe most likely hated my guts already, that much was evident from her joining forces with Eduardo. But I couldn't abandon Adele. I was never there for the first two years of her life. I wanted no need to be present for every single day afterwards. With renewed determination coursing through my veins, I stomped towards the exit. The hospital was in a frenzy for some reason. A doctor rushed past me like he was the flash and bolted for the door. For a minute I th
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 208
208 Nathan The hospital was a mess. I watched the nurses and doctors run around the hospital panicking as they attended to Addison and Chloe. My eyes remained glued to the theater door, waiting, expecting, hoping. I hoped I wasn't hoping against hope. I hoped that Chloe would be fine. I would live a life of regrets if she did. How was I supposed to make amends for all the foolish decisions I had made? How would I show that I was sorry? That I didn't care what ever it was that she had with Eduardo, I just wanted her back? How would I ever make it up to her? I sat still, like a log of wood on the metallic chairs in the hallway. I was tired and so damned exhausted. It had been a while since Chloe was rushed in and frankly I had no.plans to leave. Not now. Not until I knew she was fine. A loud beeping sound reached my ears and that woke me up out of my emotional trance. Doctors ran down the hallway towards the theater, their white coat billowing behind them. "Chloe," I said, j
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 209
209Nathan"Chloe was kidnapped when she was born by Tristan and his wife. She is Arabella, the only daughter of the Montgomerys." David explained as soon as we'd settled in my car. I tried to wrap my head around what I currently heard."How was she kidnapped?" "Do you want a breakdown of how it happened? If so, you'll have to ask Tristan how he did it. I told you what I know." I hissed through my gritted teeth and grabbed him by the shirt. "You do not want to play cheeky with me, old man. How did you know she was Montgomery's daughter?" "A simple DNA test?" David replied, his brow furrowed in anger. My hold on him slacked. Where the hell was my head, I had just done that a few hours ago to find out if Noah was my son. I have to say, it sucked like hell. So Chloe was Arabella Montgomery? What else was Cam wrong about? My hands balled into fists as I glared at the space before me. "Why did she come back then? She could have just stayed in New York..." I trailed off reconsiderin

A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 220 - Epilogue
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 218
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 217
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 214
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
