A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 22
Twenty-TwoNathan'... I could never be happy... Not with you...'Her words rang loud in my head and even though they shouldn't hurt, they twisted in my gut like a knife. I glanced at Chloe beside me. How could she say such words to me and still laugh so brightly at my father's words? How could she give me hell while looking every bit like an angel descended from above? She looked beautiful. Dressed in an elegant blue dress. The makeup artist had chosen colors that made her icy blue eyes pop out alluringly. They didn't look icy like they had in the parking lot. They looked at Dad with vivid interest as the man told stories of his days as a sailor. I had heard that story a gazillion times and every time, it gets exaggerated. Yet she seemed to believe every word that dropped from the old man's mouth. Her lips were coated pink. They parted to let out a hearty laugh when dad said something that I couldn't figure out because I wasn't listening. How could I? All I could hear were her wor

Twenty-ThreeNathan"Chloe!" I yelled, jumping to my feet immediately. But she was gone from my sight. "Fuck!" She wasn't supposed to hear that. How had I not noticed she was around? She had been with my parents, talking... I had thought she was! How the hell was I supposed to fix things between us after this? I literally just called her a whore! "You're screwed big time," Noah's calm voice reached my ears and irritation swamped through me. "Shut the hell up!" I spat, tossing the bottle of cognac to the ground. "This is all your fucking fault!" Noah gave me a look of disbelief and laughed, rising to his feet. "Are you fucking listening to yourself? It's my fault you called your wife a whore?""Yes!" I bellowed, "If you had just minded your damn business instead of sticking your fucking face in mine, this wouldn't have happened!" "And if you hadn't fucked her, she would be mine!" Noah retorted with so much force, all I could do was stare at him helplessly. "She was my betrothed-"

Twenty-FourChloe"Chloe?" Nathan's whispers pulled me out of the depths of sleep. "Are you awake?" I wanted to open my eyes. I wanted to smile at him, yawning lazily. I wanted to see him. His body heat called out to me and I desperately wanted to bask in it. However, flashes of the night before slipped into my mind and I felt even more pathetic.He had called me a whore. To his brother no less! How the hell was I supposed to face his brother? Heck, I was sure Noah was convinced I was too. I had slept with his brother and married him instead. The one time I decided to do something spontaneous, I got tagged as a hoe and got married to an asshole. Very fucking poetic. I decided to ignore Nathan then. I didn't want to see him. I just needed to get a fucking job first, and then I'll pay back every single penny. Every fucking bit I owed him. No one, not even him in all his gorgeous glory, could walk over me like that. I heard movement and clamped my eyes tighter, trying to stamp the ur

Twenty-FiveChloeFor a brief moment, we stared at each other, breathing heavily. He knelt on my bed while I stood beside it, our eyes holding as we panted. Tears rolled down my cheeks and that seemed to spur him on. He moved forward and I shook my head, hurriedly wiping my tears. That didn't stop him, however. He slid off the bed and stood before me. "Maybe... Maybe you're right." He muttered, staring intensely at me. "But Chloe," I watched his eyes darken to my favorite shade. The shade warmed up my body and lit it up. "No," I whispered. "No one would want you as much as I do, Chloe," He whispered, slipping his hand around my waist. "No one could desire you as much as I do Chloe. No one could be crazy about you, the way I am." And somehow, deep down in my heart, I believed him. It was foolish, it was so fucking absurd, I ought to know he just wanted sex but, how could I resist him at all. I wanted all that he could give me. All that he would give me! His hand on my waist broug

Twenty SixNathan "Chloe get your ass back here!" I yelled as I tried to shut off the beeping oven. "No way," she giggled from the living room."Ah come on! You caused this!" I yelled, trying to trace where the oven had been plugged in. The darned device kept ringing so loud, I was sure it would trigger the fire alarm quite soon."What do you mean I caused this? You're the one who wanted to bake plastic!" She showed up at the kitchen door now, grinning widely. Her eyes stared at me, all sultry and seductive. How the hell was a man supposed to defend himself from that? All I could think about was fucking her. And you'd think I'd have gotten over it by now, considering we've been at it for days. "You distracted me!" I snapped. And yes she did. We were baking cookies. It was all her idea. No way in hell would I suggest baking cookies. Heck, I hadn't even agreed at first. But Chloe, fuck, she'd ridden my cock like a fucking harridan afterward, it was hard to say no. And then it got ha

Twenty-SevenChloeThe shower running told me Nathan was in the bathroom. I sighed deeply, burying my face deeper into his pillow as I tried opening my heavy eyelids. His side of the bed was still warm. He hadn't been up for long. A smile played on my lips as I rubbed the warm spot. Things were looking quite well. At least it seemed they were to me. We've been getting along. And the times we argue, things usually end up with me screaming his name as he pounded into me like crazy. The sex was good.Understatement of the fucking century. The sex was amazing! I couldn't stand not being touched or fondled or caressed or fucked by him. I needed more. And with the way things have been, I think I'll always fucking need more. The running water reached my ears again and an idea slipped into my mind. An idea that made me clench my thighs together. Slipping off the bed, I walked my naked ass to the bathroom.There he was, standing under the shower, looking every inch as delicious as I knew

Twenty-Eight Nathan To say I was nervous was a fucking understatement. My knuckles gripped the steering wheel, almost turning white as I swerved into the hospital's car park. I glanced at Chloe who sat beside me. Was she as nervous as I was? Was she afraid? Because I was fucking scared. I looked down at her stomach and swallowed. My baby was there. We should have come to the doctors earlier so they could check her up and all the stuff that doctors do. Having a baby was a big deal! It was funny how the realization just sunk in. I had been operating on the notion that the baby wasn't mine and I didn't have to care for it anyways. Knowing who Chloe was now, I was quite certain it was my baby. And if it isn't? The question hung out, dry and alert in my mind and I gripped the wheels tighter. The baby was mine. It couldn't happen any other way. I would not allow it to happen. "Oh my God, relax will you? You look like you'll run someone over," Chloe teased beside me and I chuckled

Twenty-NineChloe"Who said I couldn't?" I threw back, reaching for another scoop of ice cream. Why the hell was he talking to me like that? Like I was a child who couldn't make decisions? If I wanted to work it was my damn business! "Chloe," his voice had a hint of warning in it and if I were his employee probably, I would have shrunk in fear. "This isn't funny,""You don't see me laughing now do you?" I said pointedly. "And I don't get what the big deal is."He looked appalled by what I had said. His eyes flashed angrily and he laughed a short harsh one. "You don't get... You don't... What's the big deal? Oh, I don't know, maybe because you're fucking pregnant?!" The cafe went quiet and I felt my face flush in shame and anger. I stared hard at my ice cream, trying not to look up to see the judgemental look on people's faces. "How about you speak a little louder," I hissed. "They couldn't hear you at the fucking empire state building," "Chloe, I-" he paused and when I looked up,

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

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
