A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 74
Seventy-Four Chloe"Five days end today," I groaned as soon as we stepped into the house. David and I had just arrived from meeting with the judge in charge of the case with Tristan.I was so damn tired. I could eat a whole freaking horse. Yes, it does David said as I lowered myself onto a sofa. Our trip seemed successful. Tristan would stand trial come Monday for stealing my parents' company. Soon, everything would all fall into place. Addison wasn't home. She had mentioned meeting up with certain people from college. I suppose she deserves to have some fun. She had been hard at work on my behalf ever since we moved back to South Carolina. "Adele and her nanny aren't home yet," I observed, whipping out my phone to call Melissa. "Hi Miss Montgomery," she muttered melissa was a shy timid woman who rarely spoke up. Sure she had pretty hair, but somehow I felt that Adele would give her a tough time. She was quite an impulsive child who could throw a tantrum Whenever things did bit

Seventy-FiveNathan My shrilling phone woke me out of my sleep. That rarely ever happened. My phone hadn't rung at the midnight in a long fucking time. With a grunt, I reached across the bed to the bedside table so I could pick up my phone. The screen flashed with the name Freckles on it. Cam. Why was he calling so fucking late? It had to be about the investigation we were making. I swiftly picked up the call. "Cam?" I mumbled sleepily. At first, he didn't speak. But I could hear his heavy breathing. He must have found something. Something he was hesitating to tell me. Was he in danger? "Cam!" I yelled sitting upright. Sleep fled as adrenaline pumped through my veins in large doses. "It's okay, I'm here," he urged. "I was just... Trying to get over the shock,""What shock?" I asked, feeling confused. "Have you seen Arabella Montgomery, Nate?" He asked and I frowned. "This again? Cameron, please tell me you didn't call me so you could gush over a woman!" "Will you call down?
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 76
Seventy-SixChloe"Hello,"I could hear his voice. It pierced through the walls erected around my heart, possessing every nook and cranny of my soul. He sounded the same. No, that was wrong. His voice had the same silvery feel to it. But he sounded different. Gruff and hoarse. The sound of a man who had carried more than he could bear. I glanced at the card in my trembling hand while the other held the phone to my ear. I had suspected that it would be him. When Melissa handed me a card with the initials NB on it, I suspected it was his. I just hadn't wanted to believe it. "Hello?" Nathan said again and the tears I thought were home forever, stung the corner of my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. He had met Adele the day before! He had seen her and talked to her. Dammit, had he seen the resemblance? Did he know she was his daughter? "Hello?" His voice increased in urgency and pitch showing he was getting impatient. I cut the call quickly and tossed the phone on my bed, feeling stup

Seventy-Seven Nathan Cameron was right. She was here. He had predicted that she would come to the Hamptons gala. And she did. "Chloe," I whispered, gripping the glass of whiskey in my hand tighter. She walked in dressed in the most lavish red gown I had ever seen. Her hair, golden in the bright glow in the hall, was tied up in a series of curls and knots that was most likely more complicated than phantom physics. They were the only thing about her that hadn't changed. She had grown older. It was clear from the way her face had lost the chubbiness that made her look innocent and naive. The woman before me was anything but innocent. Her eyes, blue as always had a sharp haunting look to them. She greeted everyone with a bright smile or lips but I could see the wariness deep in them. She was here. In-person. Chloe. God, how long has it been? I was transfixed, staring like a fucking dumb horse. She stopped before Hampton and his wife as they enveloped her in a hug. How did the

Seventy-eightChloe Muffled sounds came from over my shoulders. I froze still, my heart racing wildly in my rib cage. Was he crying? I almost couldn't believe it. Heck, I couldn't believe any of it. I was pressed up against the door, with a strangely familiar hulk leaning against me. His scent,... Dear God. I sighed, taking in a whiff of him. It was male, tangy, and... And damn it made me heady with desire. Like an addict exposed, I wrapped my hand around him- well I tried to, dragging in more of his delicious scent. More of him. More... "Nathan," I whispered, drugged and drunk on him. Everywhere my hands grasped was hard and hot and feelings I thought had been buried for years came resurfacing. Nathan groaned at the feel of my wandering hands. His face left the crook of my neck and he trailed his nose over my face. Soft, light, and terribly sensual. "Chloe, Chloe..." He whispered, his warm breath caressing my face and sending my brain into overdrive. "Yes," I panted,
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 79
Seventy-NineNathan I was so fucking hard. That was the one thought that stood out as the crazy woman before me yelled and twitched like she was on drugs. The man who constantly hovered around my wife had dragged Chloe to the farthest corner of the study, glaring daggers at me. Oh, the feeling was mutual. I hated his guts. Why the hell was he with my wife? He had no right to shield her from me. I looked beyond him, at Chloe who sat on a chair in Hampton's study. She wouldn't look at me. Ever since her friend and whoever that old guy was came in, she had been sober and sad. Gone was the woman who had melted like butter in my hands a few minutes ago. "....fuck you." The voice of her friend dawned on me, drawing me back to reality. How could you do that to her?! You should be jailed. Jailed you bastard-" With a growl I grabbed her arm, glaring down at her menacingly. "Shut your trap or I'll do it for you." "You don't scare me!" She spat, wriggling to get out of my hold. "You

EightyChloe"What the hell was that all about?" Addison spat as soon as we walked into the house. The car ride had been silent- surprising if you as me, I could swear Addison was ready to burst into a raging tantrum with each passing minute. But she held it in like the champion she was and unleashed it when she was sure we were in the safety of my home. Bravo. She deserved more credit. Leaving the Hamptons home had been like walking through the wilderness. Addison had helped me readjust my appearance, but my dress had become rumpled around the chest area, thanks to Nathan's constant tugging, and my hair had lost a few pins. If I had changed my hairstyle completely, the press would suspect something had occurred at the party. And they wouldn't be wrong. My body zinged and tingled at the memory if being pressed up against the door. Against Nathan. His hard body bearing down on me. I closed my eyes, trying to get rid of the memory. I shouldn't be happy. Dammit, I shouldn't be satisf
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 81
Eighty-One Nathan The cool Sunday air seeped through the windows of my car, making the air around me chill and freezing. I ignored the strain in my fingers as they tightened around the steering wheel. There was no way I would take my eyes off the gate. Or off the building that stood behind the gate. Arabella Montgomery's home. "Arabella," I mumbled dryly, tasting her name on my tongue. It rolled out smoothly and perhaps it suited her. I didn't give a shit. She was Chloe to me. My Chloe. My phone beeped and reluctantly, I let go of the steering wheel to reach for the device. It was barely seven in the morning and here I was, at her doorstep. All that was left was for me to stick my tongue out, lapping like some dog. Mahn, sometimes I hated how she affected me. How my insides tied up and my heart shook in Its place at the thought of her. How every part of me, just as it was now, tightened up like a coil only she could unwind. I clicked on the message Cam had sent and my bro

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
