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
Chloe POV“What?” I screamed, my food almost dropping from my mouth as my spoon went clanking on the plate.My parents are not actually serious about this.I stared back and forth from my mother to my father then back to my mother again in disbelief, and I felt a breath stutter out of my chest.They really weren’t going to do this to me, I don’t even want to be married yet, I’m good with being single as I was happy and don’t have anything but myself to worry about.“Yes,” my father spoke huskily, “we’ve chosen a man for you.” He added and I looked at him in disgust, I had a lot of things to say to him but I knew that would only be a waste of time.My parents are stubborn and sometimes, I feel like I got my stubbornness from them.“You can’t be serious, how do you expect me to get married to someone I don’t even know, someone I haven’t even met. I’m very sure I won’t be happy with him but you both don’t care?” I snapped, I knew the answer to the question I’d just asked.They really did
Chloe I’d just made the greatest mistake of my life, I stomped my feet on the floor repeatedly as I held the pregnancy test kit I’d gone to get because I’d missed my period for over a week. I was patiently waiting for the result when I saw what shook me.Double lines? I really am pregnant, I disposed of the pregnancy test and tore out the second one I had bought and peed over it, while praying this one brings one line.I paced about my room, I knew I was pregnant but I wasn’t just ready to admit it.As expected, this second one also brought forth two lines.I’m no longer a kid and I know what pregnancy symptoms are, but how did I? I usually make sure I take my pills after sex.I was lost in my thoughts already when it clicked, I now remember how it happened.I’m pregnant and it was a result of a one night stand?!I remembered that night at the club, we danced and then he suggested we get out of there. I was getting a little bit tipsy already and we soon got somewhere.I’d thought he
Chloe I tried to look away from him as I proceeded to have my seat beside my family. The meeting was about to start but as much as I tried to get over it, I just couldn’t.“We’re here today because of the decision we’d made about Noah and Chloe, my daughter is pregnant and—“ my father was saying when impulsively, I stood from my seat as I pointed to the extremely hot guy and the father of my unborn child that was seated right in front of me,“What do you think you’re doing?” My mother whispered as she tugged on my dress but I ignored her.“It’s him,” I said, my vocal cords finally working, “it’s you, that night, the club, the dance.” I continued as the whole room stared at me in confusion.They all probably think I was mad but I could swear that I wasn’t, I knew what I was saying and I was perfectly right.The man I’d pointed to also had the audacity to feign confusion like he had no idea what I was talking about when we both know he does have an idea.He’d fucked me without a con
Chapter FourChloe This was a mistake. I didn't need the loud wedding bells outside reminding me of all the reasons why this marriage was a bad idea. Aside from the fact that my parents were too self-absorbed in their goals and ambitions, neglecting the feelings of their only daughter for... for what? I sighed tiredly as the modiste tightened the straps of my wedding dress. This was it. I was truly getting married. Against my own will- sure I signed the papers, but what was I to do when my parents, my father had threatened to toss me out on my ass if I didn't agree to the wedding? There was no way I could raise a child alone. That much was clear. I had depended on my parents my entire life. A secure home was all I knew and frankly, I was too afraid to give that up. "Pull it any tighter and I'll puke my guts on this dress!" I snapped at the modiste. The dress was pretty. It was strapless with a sweetheart neckline that highlighted my full chest. I loved the dress and of cour
Chapter five Nathan "Welcome everyone," The chairman of the event greeted, alerting everyone including me that 'my' wedding was about to begin. My fucking wedding. I turned to face the man dressed in some fancy suit and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Chloe do the same. I had to admit, she looked stunning. When she had stepped into the garden, I was damn sure my jaw had dropped to the freaking floor. Yeah, I wasn't proud of it, but I had to admit, she was beautiful. Chloe's curvy figure was accentuated in her wedding dress. I didn't care much for all the fancy frills of the dress, but the neckline- Fuck! The swell of her creamy breasts drew me in, taunting me as they jiggled with each step she took. The insane desire to cart her off and bury my face in those mounds slammed into me, spreading wild hunger that licked at every cell in my body. "Idiot," I muttered, looking away from her, trying to wake myself from the haze of lust. Lust had gotten me in the darned mess in th
Chapter SixChloe "Chloe!" I smirked and stared at my reflection in the mirror, feeling quite smug. "Chloe!!!" Nathan thundered. I could hear his feet climbing the stairs rapidly, approaching my room.A giggle rose in my throat and I clenched the bedsheet in my hands in anticipation. That bastard had dared to abandon me at the hotel! It had been horrible. Arriving at an hotel in a wedding dress with no groom fussing over me had immediately sent the staff into a gossip frenzy. At first, I thought he had gone somewhere to cool off or calm down or whatever the fuck men did before their wedding night. Okay perhaps I had been expecting more. I wasn't happy about the wedding, and neither was Nathan, but I'd be a terrible liar if I said I hadn't thought of us spending the night together. Who wouldn't? He could be a jerk, but he was a hot, spiffing jerk. Mostly still a jerk however, seeing that the idiot never showed up. By the time it was eleven in the night, I knew he had run off. It
Chapter Seven Nathan I could tell my face was a bowl of a frown as I tried severally to get rid of the blue ink that had spilled all over my face. I used all the energy I could muster but the unwillingness of the ink that spilled all over my face got me even more upset. My breathing had begun to be more on the high side but I managed to continue rubbing it and my wrist began to hurt me yet my effort was futile. “Gianna!” I yelled angrily, placing a tap on the table with my fingers continuously. “Gianna!” I yelled again. I felt like she was responsible for what had happened. It seemed like she had caused nothing. I could not tell why I passed my aggression at calling her name but the next minute, she rushed in, a frightened expression on her face. I stretched my hands and wanted to utter a word as I saw her slip on the floor and was about to fall but was quick to have a grip of herself. I ran my hands through my hair pretending I had not seen whatever had happened. I was assur

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
