A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 52
Fifty-TwoChloe"Good morning," I mumbled to the kitchen staff, my head lowered to the ground. I felt so tired and despite my bravado the night before, I had stayed up through half the night worried about Addison and calling her several times. She ignored all of my calls! All of them. How could she be so childish and run off like that... like a freaking child?! It was plain silly! I understood that I may have been harsh. In my defense, I wasn't trying to be. Besides I thought I did my best to sound as quiet and as gentle as possible. What more did she want?! Did she want me to pretend all was fine? Like she hadn't made a grave mistake?! "Whoa," Arthur exclaimed, staring at me in shock.My face flamed up red at the shock on his face. I knew what I looked like. My eyes had dark circles under them and were rimmed red. My hair was tied up in the roughest bun I could manage and I was dressed in black pants and a white shirt. I wasn't looking my best and honestly, I wasn't feeling it ei

Fifty-ThreeNathan "Chloe," I couldn't believe my eyes. Chloe stood in front of my apartment, smiling widely at me. Her soft blue eyes looked the same. A warm deep blue that made me shudder as she watched me approach."Chloe.. are you... Is that you?" I mumbled, taking shaky, unsure steps toward her. God if this was a dream, then it was cruel. A cruel cruel dream. "What do you think? I'm some kind of ghost? Open the door will ya?" She said snarkily and my heart leaped. I dragged her into my arms, burying my face in her shoulder. "Chloe, oh my God...Oh my God," I muttered, holding her tightly against me."I'm back," she whispered, stroking my chest. I stroked her hair softly. Soft blonde waves that I had missed tangling my fingers in. "Never do that to me again! Never leave me again! Do you hear me?" I asked pulling away from her. She simply smiled at me and somehow, we were in our bathroom. I glanced down to find my clothes were gone and when I looked back up, Chloe was getting

Fifty FourChloeI bit into my sandwich, chewing as I calculated how much stock we had left. We would have to make a grocery order soon and I wanted to be sure I got every item we needed. I had forgotten to order an extra tin of tomato sauce last week and Liu had ranted my ear off. He could be nice and all, but whenever something threatened his business, be it a person or a thing, he was bound to get his haunches up and rant on and on until someone begged him to stop. I was in the middle of checking how many eggs we had when Jenny came barging into the store, causing the crates of eggs to wobble slightly. "Dammit! Jenny be fucking careful!" I yelled, reaching out to steady the crates. We couldn't afford to lose any eggs. Liu was going to hack off my head! When I was sure the eggs were stable I turned around to glare at her. "Sorry," she mumbled timidly, wiping her hands on her black pants. I sighed and picked my account book which had fallen to the floor. "What do you want?" "The

Fifty FiveNathan"What did you find out?" I muttered into the device stuck in my ear as I got dressed for work. "Benjamin Industries is falling apart. Their rival, the El Salvatore group of companies are rising through the ranks. It's quite remarkable how much investors they've been able to garner within a short period of time. The owner, Mr Eduardo is a business man who has struggled to hold his company up for several years. For some reason, he suddenly gained a lot of investors and now his business is on the fly. The only thing standing in his way..." I sighed, straightening my suit and adjusting the rumples in my collar. "My family's company," "Yes," Cameron, the private investigator I had hired, replied. "Nathan Industries isn't on his radar because we deal in a different niche than he does. You run a tech company and the last thing Eduardo wants to be interested in is tech. I think another reason why he isn't interested though is because you keep your accounts and company dea

Fifty-SixNathan I yanked off my trousers, holding them up in the air. The same butler who had approached me the first time, appeared again to retrieve it. I studied his form quite well. He was of average height and looked every bit like a normal American middle-aged man. He must've noticed that I was scrutinizing him, because he quickly bowed and walked away, fading into the background. "So what's the plan?" I mumbled walking through the crowd of men and women fucking like a bunch of honey rabbits. "I need to find Noah," "How do you know, he'll show up?" Cameron asked. "For all we know, he's probably passed out in a bar," "He'll show up. He's trying to protect Mom and Dad. He can't afford to piss off Eduardo," I replied.Pretending to be interested in watching couples doing the dirty, I checked the faces of the men, subtly, one after the other. None of them was Noah. Where the hell was he? Eduardo had only invited fifteen men to his stupid orgy party. Why the hell couldn't I fi

Fifty-Seven Chloe"...And he just dropped this and walked off," I explained to Addison. She swallowed the noodles she was eating so she could speak. "See?! I knew he was shady. Shady old man. I can't believe we allowed Adele to smile at him like that. Right baby?" She cooed at Adele who sat on her thighs, pouting because we wouldn't allow her to eat noodles. I looked down at the card and flash drive. "He seemed pretty serious, Addy. He knew so much about me." "He's a stalker, that's what," Addy said. "We should report him to the police," I was afraid but somehow I didn't think we needed to involve the police yet. "What about the flash drive? Shouldn't we check it out first?" Addison shrugged. "What if they're filled with dick pics?" "Addison!" I yelled, reaching across the rug to block Adele's ears. "Oh please," she rolled her eyes. "She watches Cartoon network does she not? The name of that guy that follows Batman around is Dick. How's this any different?" "It's different be

Fifty-EightNathan'You have to survive Nathan. You have to fucking survive and if I have to tear the world apart, I will!'Noah's words from the day before rang in my head as if played constantly on repeat. I couldn't get his words out of my head. Survive? What did he mean he would tear the world apart for me to survive? Was that what he had been doing all along, trying to help me survive? Fuck. Had I been seeing it all wrong? I closed my eyes trying to think about what had happened the day I went to my parent's house. They had behaved nonchalantly at first. All of them. Noah had pissed off some crazy mafia dude and my mom had still been making fish sauce, dancing, and shaking her hips like everything was fine. Dad had slept like a baby and the only time Noah had looked serious was when we were outside by the pool. When he 'disowned' me. You have to survive Nathan...... If I have to tear the world apart, I will!I sighed, rubbing my forehead. When he made things public to the me

Fifty-NineChloeMy knees knocked together nervously as we waited in the reception room. I was a nervous wreck, but fuck if I could control my knees. I glanced at David, wondering what I would do if all he said turned out to be true after all. He claimed I wasn't Chloe Tristan. That mom and Dad had stolen me off when I was a kid. Fucking hilarious. It was absurd and unbelievable and yet here I was in a fucking hospital."Relax Chloe," David muttered soothingly."Since I met you, you've said that to me like a gazillion times," I told him, rubbing my hand on my thighs so I could calm my shaky legs. "Because you're always so wound up. It's easy to see how Tristan and his wife have treated you," he muttered and I looked away. "Stop talking about my parents like that," I said timidly. I had no idea why I was defending them. They had treated me badly... Sometimes. But we had good memories too... I think. Crap what was this? Some memory lane trip? I shook my head and faced David. "Why

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

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
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
