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 the first place.
Unable to resist, I stole another glance at her and saw her lips pressed in a line.
Her blue eyes, the very same that had reeled me in that night like a fisherman to a siren, stared glumly at the man before them. There was a comfort in knowing she wasn't happy about the marriage just as I wasn't.Perhaps she's faking it, my mind taunted and my lips rose in a sneer. Women were tricky. I had always known that about them from the get-go. They used their charms and wiles to deceptively get whatever they wanted.
My eyes dropped to her belly. She wasn't showing yet that she was pregnant and while the rational part of me knew that it was normal as she was barely two months pregnant, the furious part of me wondered if there was any pregnancy at all.
"You may kiss the bride," The chairman announced, jolting me to the present.
Kiss the bride? That was it? I had been thinking throughout the entire procession.
"How fucking lovely," I murmured snidely turning to face Chloe.
Her big beautiful eyes stared icily at me and if I wasn't so pissed at myself, I would have laughed at how hilarious she looked.
"We don't have all day!" Someone from among the guests yelled.
"We know she's beautiful," Another urged.
I glanced at my parents wondering where the hell they had gotten so many people from. The wedding was supposed to be a fucking quiet one-
"Kiss her already!"
"Fine!" I barked at the last speaker and grabbed Chloe's face, planting a swift peck on her lips.
The crowd awed and oohed, while my insides twisted as I pulled away, unable to take my eyes off her lips.
They had felt soft and plump against mine. But I knew they led to somewhere much more exciting. Her mouth. Her sweet, enticing mouth.
I felt my body grow hard in need as every memory from that night came rushing back. The kisses we shared. I swallowed as I recalled the feel of her soft velvet mouth against mine, our tongues clashing and molding together. A shudder ran through my back and I stepped away from her quickly.
Beside me, Chloe snickered, drawing my attention once again.
"That was pathetic," she mumbled just loud enough for me to hear.
"What?!" I spat, fury was slowly mixing with lust and I wasn't sure I was in my right senses anymore.
Chloe simply smiled and turned as the Chairman announced, "Mr and Mrs Benjamin" , leaving me stewing in anger.
*****Whatever had happened afterwards at the wedding was a blur to me . I couldn't care less. After stepping down from the podium, I went to the bar to drink myself into oblivion.
As I stumbled towards the door, I wondered where Chloe was at the moment as I tried to fish out my keys. We were supposed to have our honeymoon at some hotel, but I was too fucking drunk to remember where.
"Honeymoon my ass," I snickered and laughed at my words, my hands trembling with the keys. "Dammit, who tied all these keys together?!"
"Probably you, you dimwit!" Chloe's voice rang somewhere around me and I chuckled.
"I must be wasted! I'm hearing things,"
"Oh no, you'll be hearing worse things, by the time I'm fucking done with you!" Chloe screamed behind me and stunned me.
There she stood on the walkway, looking every bit like the goddess of vengeance in a silky silver gown that shone in the night. Her hair, blonde and soft, fell over her shoulders, reaching the swell of her breasts that peeked through the neck of the gown.
Always teasing and taunting me.
"You look beautiful," I breathed.
I saw her eyes flicker, losing its anger for a while. Only for a while.
"Sweet talking me won't work!" She spat. "Where the hell were you?! You disappeared and I kept waiting at the stupid hotel for you! Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is for a woman in a fucking wedding dress to be in a room and her husband is no where to be found?! The hotel attendants kept gossiping about me!"
"And how the hell does that matter to me?!" I spat, throwing my hand in the air. "I never asked to be shackled to you!"
"I never asked to be either!" Chloe screamed. "This whole mess is all your fault! How the hell didn't you use protection-"
"Don't you dare put all this on me! Last I checked, I wasn't the one moaning and begging for more like a deranged nymphomani-" I could barely finish my words. A harsh smack landed on my cheeks and for a minute, we both stared at each other, heaving labored breaths.
She slapped me! I realized in fury. The bitch had just slapped me!
"Chloe!" I thundered and paused when she flinched, stepping away from me. I gripped her hand to hold her down, forcing her to look at me. "Don't ever do that again!"
The defiant woman looked up at me with tears glistening in her pretty eyes. When she spoke, her voice came out weak and tired. "Don't ever humiliate me again."
I felt the fight leave my body as soon as I saw how vulnerable she was. The gown she wore was a night dress. She must have left the hotel to search for me out of shame. A woman roaming the streets of South Carolina in search of her husband.
Feeling like an awful jerk, which I probably was, I turned around and resumed fishing for the keys. When I finally opened the door, which took forever, I turned around to let Chloe in, but she had fallen asleep, sitting on a garden stone.

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 8Chloe Nathan's house was quite nice. I had to give it to him, he had a rather wonderful house. Not that I would ever admit it to his face. Despite looking quite modest on the outside, the building was wide and spacious. It also had a backyard pool that I very much plan to use for my leisure. Living with my parents meant I had little to no time for fun. There were rules I had to follow, and regulations to live by, and honestly, mom and dad were the worst sort of hypocrites I had ever met. A sigh escaped me as memories of the past plagued me and I shook my head. The microwave let out a ding, telling me my dinner was ready. Getting married to Nathan was my means to escape. And even though he could be a jerk, at least he was keeping his distance this time. It had been a full week since we got married and I could count how many times we had seen face to face. "He's avoiding me," I grumbled, pulling out the bowl of lasagna and stabbing it with a fork. I shouldn't be sad abo

Chapter 9NathanI had never been so darn happy to hear those words in my entire fucking life. She sat down on my couch, dressed in a flimsy dress that had caught my attention from the minute I stepped in. It was a light cotton dress that clung to her seductive frame, ending inches above her knees. Her pale sweet thighs winked at me, asking to be touched and dear God, I wanted so badly. I wanted to reach for the low V-neckline and rip it now until her breasts were on full display. Her sweet, generous breasts. My mouth watered at the thought and I stifled a groan that threatened to slip out. "Kiss me, Nathan," Chloe whispered again and all sane thoughts slipped out the window. With a tortured groan, I covered the space between us and covered her mouth with mine. And that had to be the best decision I had made all fucking week. Her lips were soft and plump, pressed hotly against mine. That was sweet and all, but I wanted more. I had spent the entire fucking week getting taunted by

Chapter Ten Nathan "There's my little brother!" Noah yelled as soon as I pushed the bar door open. The men chugging shots paused to look at me, the dancing strippers on stage glanced in the direction the idiot pointed and a couple- or maybe they weren't a couple but they were both shameful enough to shag each other like a bunch of rabbits in an open space, paused mid shagging on a couch hidden in a corner, then with a liquid laugh that repulsed me, they resumed. The bar reeked of alcohol and cigars and a musty smell I was certain came from the shameless fuckers. "Dammit, Noah! You couldn't pick a much more classy bar?" I snapped, settling on a stool beside the blockhead of a brother. "Aww, does this place offend your sensibilities? I'm sorry you're such a sensitive lady," he mocked, a stupid grin on his face as he raised a glass of thick frothy drink that hissed with each movement. That drink could not be safe. And no way was I drinking that shit. I adjusted my white tee

Eleven Chloe He wasn't home yet. I was certain I looked like an idiot peeking out the window, waiting eagerly for my husband's Chevrolet to pull up in the driveway. Fucking hilarious. I retreated from the window, stomping over to the couch in the living room. Why on earth was I worried about that jerk? I should be happy that he was gone for fucksake. I could imagine him passed out in some high-end fancy club, drunk from chugging away his troubles. "Idiot!" I spat, grabbing a throw pillow on the couch and throwing it to the floor. "Idiot!" I screamed again, feeling a fresh wave of fury pulse through my veins.Why the hell was I even mad? He shouldn't matter. None of the shit he did ought to matter to me. Heck, He could wind up, dead ass drunk in the damn gutter and I would not give a fuck. And it was definitely not because he had run off after kissing me. Liar. "I am not a liar!" I yelled at myself, feeling an inordinate urge to strangle something. "Who does he think he is anyway

Twelve.NATHANI was doomed. I should have suspected that when I woke up with a woman in my arms. The woman turned out to be Chloe and that further confirmed my state of doom. Damn if this was damnation, then I didn't think I minded it one bit. We lay on the floor in the living room. Her head is on my chest, rising and falling with each breath I take. As I lay there, I try to remember what happened the night before. I had left the bar after Noah asked about Lily. Another fucking complication that Chloe brought into my life. Noah had asked what I planned to do to sort things out with her. And honestly, I had no clue. I guess I would have to figure that out later. It was a wonder that I had gotten home in one piece. Also, a mighty wonder that I didn't get pulled over by the cops for driving after drinking. And perhaps it was a good thing none of that happened or I wouldn't have come home to see a flushed Chloe touching herself. It had to be the hottest sight I had seen in a long ti
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 13
Chapter 13 ChloeI was so exhausted. There was nothing much more exhausting than scrubbing a house spotless. I had woken up, bored out of my mind and my face burning up in shame. I had let that bastard touch me, like a freaking wanton. I doubt I would ever live that down. I was very ashamed and that had to be the understatement of the year. But is it so bad? A voice in my head said and I groaned, rising off the floor and wiping my butt. Nathan's kitchen glared at me, spotless from my frantic cleaning. There had been nothing for me to do anyway. I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to do after getting married. I had a degree in accounting and I suppose I could use that to work. My parents had been the chief decision-makers in my life and with their absence, I was sort of at loss. That's pathetic, the voice in my head quipped and my shoulders slumped in pity. The more I thought about it, the more pathetic it sounded. What were my parents up to anyway? They hadn't contacted me in a

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

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
