A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 80
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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 82
Chapter eighty-twoChloe A pregnant silence filled the air. I stared blankly at Tristan who sat on my sofa, grinning at me like we were two souls connecting over a heart-to-heart. His wife, my mother, or ex-mother, whatever role she was assuming at the moment, sat beside him, her eyes roving every nook and cranny of the living room. "State your business," Addison spat with so much venom, it startled me as well. The man I had grown up calling Father smiled even wider. But the look in his eyes told me exactly what he thought of Addison. The same thing he had always thought of her. A nuisance. A bother and someone who I shouldn't associate with. Perhaps it had been foolish of me to allow them into my home. I was pretty surprised to find them outside my gate too. It wasn't like I could turn them away. Tristan was tricky, if he wanted to see me, he would find a way to do so anyways. "It is sad to see my daughter return without so much as a visit." He said, his smile dimming as he sp

Eighty-Three Chloe "What do you mean he's gone?" I asked, rising to my feet. "The trial is supposed to be by ten." The defeated look on David's face caused my heart to stutter. I shook my head frantically. "No. He can't just disappear like that." "Chloe-" Addy called out soothingly and I clasped my hands over my ears. The room spun around me. The weight of what had just happened dawned on me and I didn't want to acknowledge it. "I should have known," I whispered. "I should have known. He walked in here so fucking confident that the trial would not hold! I should have fucking known!" "Chloe! Calm the fuck down!" Addison ground out. I couldn't figure out where she was. The room seemed to spin faster as fear rocked within me. My knees knocked to the ground as I hunched over, quivering. Dad had known all along. That the trial wouldn't hold. I had been foolish to think he had come to beg and grovel. That he was trying to avoid a trial. But I was wrong. No. I was foolish. David ha

Eighty FourNathan Cameron and I sat in my office, surrounded by a sea of papers and files. We had been working together for months, trying to uncover Eduardo's secrets and bring him to justice. Right at that moment, I stared at Cam in shock. He had said something that looked like we were finally making headway. "You're serious?" I asked arching a brow at Cameron who sat across my desk. What he had just said was... Intriguing. Cameron leaned forward and looked me in the eye. "I've been tracking Eduardo for the past few weeks," he said, his voice low and serious. "Of course I'm serious!" I leaned in, my heart racing with anticipation. "Tell me, again." I growled, "This is fucking too good an opportunity." Cameron grinned at me and I could see the glaze of excitement in his eyes. "Eduardo is falling out with the mafia," he said. "With the way I see it, They'll cut ties with him completely, soon enough." A chuckle slipped from my lips as I reclined in my chair. Eduardo's power
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 85
Eighty-FiveNathan I trudged through the front door, exhausted from a long day at the office. After Cameron had left, I had been slaved away at my desk for hours, eyes fixated on the never-ending pile of paperwork that seemed to grow with each passing minute. It was a fucking chore. Sifting through all the paperwork that threatened to suffocate me. As I walked into the living room, a sense of relief washed over me. At last, I was fucking home. An image of Chloe's happy face filled my mind. As if she were there with me as If everything was fine. But my sense of comfort was short-lived. I was met with a scowl on Lily's face. She was perched on the couch, her arms crossed over her chest, and a look of annoyance etched onto her face. I ignored her like I always did. It had become a routine, an unspoken agreement between us. She was there because she carried my child. Because I couldn't turn her away. Whatever made her look like some sour pumpkin was none of my business anyway. I ju
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 86
86Chloe I and David huddled together at the kitchen table, our once-confident expressions replaced with visible concern. Our faces were etched in worry. We had been preparing for the court case for weeks, rallying people to our side and putting together a solid case. Something that would take Tristan down. But now? With the judge missing, we had no idea what to do now that our plan had been thrown into disarray. It was as if the rug had been pulled out from under our feet, leaving us disoriented and lost. It wasn't a pleasant feeling. It felt more like my face had been bashed against the floor. Two days had passed since Tristan had walked into my home, disturbed my peace, and left a trail of disturbing thoughts in my mind. Leaving now was not an option. Not when the crazy man could drive a sword down her belly and be done with her. The silence in the room was thick, broken only by my shuddering breaths. I couldn't afford to wake either Addy or Della. It was barely seven in the

87NathanI walked into the grand lobby of Eduardo's company, feeling the weight of my mission pressing down on me. The air was thick with the scent of freshly polished marble floors and the gentle hum of voices echoing off the high ceilings. The walls were adorned with grand paintings and sculptures, exuding an air of sophistication and wealth.Wealth bought by the blood of my family. Gritting my teeth I clicked the device in my ear. Cameron was somewhere around the area as my guide, my eyes and ears in a surveillance van outside. His job was to keep me safe, provide me with the necessary intel when facing the big guy up there, and notice things, anything that could implicate Eduardo."Okay, Nathan," Cameron said through the earpiece. "What do you see?" I looked around, taking in the grandeur of the space. "The bastard definitely spent a lot on the fucking lobby," I replied in a low voice. "It's a huge ass room with high ceilings and shiny marble floors. There are large columns at t

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
A Contract Marriage And A Baby Chapter 214
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
