CHLOE. I still found it hard to understand why Ethan had thought so low of me. Did I seem like the kind of girl who would go back to the same man who ruined her life? He believed that I would give the designs we both created to that bastard. I didn't know how he was able to gather this useless evidence but I expected him to think more of me. We had stayed together for some while, he should know me now. But then he chased me out of his house like I meant nothing to him. I felt humiliated, his gaze haunting. I sat on the edge of the hotel bed, the dim city lights outside casting a cold glow through the window. I could hear the faint hum of traffic in the distance, but inside, all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart. My hands moved instinctively to my stomach, the baby still so small inside me. I could feel the gentle rise and fall with each breath I took, and yet, somehow, it didn’t bring me any peace tonight. The baby was the only thing that felt real at this point. I tho

ETHAN. I stood at the door, about to step inside, when Granny's voice stopped me. "Ethan, your food is ready. Come and eat.” She said, her tone soft but insistent. I shook my head negatively, my mind already elsewhere. I was about to slip into the quiet of my room, but Granny had this way of pulling me back, even when I didn’t feel like listening to her. I had no choice but to stay when she asked if she could speak to me. And this was when I noticed she was wearing a dress I had gotten her from Spain. It was a red regalia which covered most part of her body. She wore a shirt underneath, I could see the collar peeking out from the gown. She stared at me intently, a way to pull my attention. Dressed this way I couldn't help but think about how hard she was getting. Grandma was one day going to leave me behind. I would be alone with no one to ask to speak to me or bother me if I had eaten. Well, I wasn't hungry hence I couldn't force myself but then I could speak to her. I knew what

CHLOE. Leaving Ethan's house that day broke something inside of me. I felt a weight settle deep in my chest with a burning sensation. I wanted to break down, to scream and cry, but I couldn’t. Not in front of Ethan’s house or in the cab. He made his choice and that wasn't my fault. Why should I tear up? Perhaps this was Karma and I was going to accept my fate and move on. It wasn't easy, I could feel heaviness settling deep within me but it didn't mean that I wouldn't do it. My father was still locked away, and I couldn’t afford to fall apart. My taught me how to be strong for a day like this. I lost her seven days ago and now I was carrying the baby of a man who was going to get married to someone else. I had never thought that my life was going to turn out like this. That I would be carrying a child without a father. There was so much to fix. The baby was someone to live for. I wouldn't give up easily because I knew what it felt like to have a mother who didn't fight. For the Chi

Ethan’s POVIt had been five months since I sent Chloe away. Five months of missing her, five months of lying to myself, pretending that I didn’t care, that everything was fine without her. But deep down, I knew the truth. I missed her. I missed her in a way that gnawed at me, in a way that left me hollow. Every day, I woke up hoping I was just dreaming—that somehow, she’d be standing there beside me, smiling at me the way she used to. But she wasn’t. She was gone.I sent her away. She did wrong yet I felt guilty that I had sent her away. I didn't find out if it was true before sending her away. I just wanted her gone. I was scared. No, I wasn't someone to be scared, never. But then when it came to her I was a different person. I walked into her room, my eyes scanning everywhere as I stepped in. It still had her Christian Dior fragrance. Yeah, the fragrance was quite powerful, and since no one came here or opened the door, it didn't go off. Her room was just the way she left it. Nea

Chloe’s POVI was busy attending to customers in the museum, trying my best to focus on the task at hand. It had been a hectic morning with visitors streaming in, and my mind had been all over the place all morning. I had just finished explaining the significance of an ancient artifact to some of the visitors when I caught sight of someone familiar.I froze for a moment, staring in surprise. It was the guy I had met on the plane a few weeks ago—the one who had been so casual with me. I hadn’t expected to see him again after that day at the airport as I had ignored him. But then, he had been coming to see me in the museum where I worked. He spotted me almost immediately and walked over, giving me a polite smile.“Need any help?” he asked, his voice calm and smooth like he always knew exactly what to say.“Oh, um, no, I’m fine. Thanks,” I said, trying to maintain my composure. But it was hard to ignore how his presence seemed to make everything feel just a little bit more complicated.

Ethan’s POVI left the office early hoping to work from home. I just didn't want to be involved with all the noises that go on in the office. My mind was already a noisy place and I didn't need them to add to what was going on in my head. There was no one in the living room when I got into the house hence I headed for my room. Matilda had moved to the room next to mine, I didn't allow her to move into Chloe’s room for only God knows what reason hence she decided to move into the one on the other side. I didn't mind. This time, I heard her talking as her door was slightly opened. But I wouldn't have cared if she didn't mention Chloe’s name. Hence I waited in front of her room and listened to her conversation with her friend. Every word that left her mouth took me by surprise. Damn it. Everything was done by Matilda? I was shocked. But then a part of me was not surprised because I kind of knew what Chloe could do. A part of me was sure that she didn't do that. She was a woman of pride

ETHAN. Suddenly, I flung my lids open and realized that I was in a strange room. It was more of an abandoned room. As though it was once a warehouse that had been abandoned. My eyes darted around, trying to find anything that would explain what was happening. Then two men walked into the room. They were both huge like bodyguards. I watched as they headed toward me. I was seated on the dusty and dirty floor, my suit all stained. I didn't care. I had many and losing one wouldn't affect me. But then these men looked tedious. “What is going on here?” I asked watching them as they walked closer to me. They both had mean expressions on their faces. Have I been kidnapped? I wondered staring at them. "Nothing except you need to die.” He stated. I chuckled. The statement he made was so random, it made me laugh. “What is funny?” He glared at me. I ran my hand in my hair. “Listen, I get it, you need money. How much do you want? Do you want my phone with me?” I asked, pinballing

ETHAN. The men who came in defended me. They did all of their best in fighting until the guys who wanted to attack me were defeated. I didn't know these guys. I didn't know who they were and I had never seen them in my life.They walked over to me after they were done defending me. “You will come with us now,” one of them said. Come with them? I didn't even know them. Moreover, they spoke to me with so much pride which I hated. “How could I trust you?” I asked. In a real sense, they had defended me and been on my side. If they wanted to harm me, they would have defended me from these men. “We are sorry that we appear as people you cannot trust but you really need to come with us. He needs to see you.” They were dressed in cooperate wear and looked responsible. Anyone would trust them except me. But then, I needed to go and see the one they spoke about. They drove me to a hospital. A VIP suite, no less. I tried to prepare myself for what was to come, but nothing could have prepared

ETHAN. Chloe’s mood changed rapidly and I couldn't help but blame it on that bastard, he had to be the one who hurt her and made her feel that sort of way. He was nothing but a fuvking bastard and I was going to make him pay. He must be jealous because he jade fuvking her back in the van. I wanted to him, he was standing by the parking lot, pacing back and forth. The moment he turned to me I grabbed him and punched him hard in the face. “What did you say to Chloe?” I demanded, my voice cold and sharp.He turned to face me, his expression a mix of anger and astonishment. “I told her the truth, that you’re no good for her. That you’re just using her. And you are nothing but a bastard. You don't deserve her at all!” I clenched my fists, trying to hold back the urge to punch him again. The punch that I gave him actually affected me, the place where I was shot so I did not want to strain it further but I kept staring at him with a frowned expression. “Who the fuck are you to know whe

ETHAN. I couldn't resist her anymore. I had always wanted her and this wasn't an exemption. I wanted her badly so when she told the waiter to call me to her van, I did. Her van was huge, there was a very comfortable place for us to be in. I didn't mind kissing her. And fucking her. She laps looked like someone that wanted to be fucked by me hence I did not mind. So when she grabbed my shirt and pulled me to her, I gave in. I touched her first. I initiated it. I loved her and wanted her. I knew that she was mine, she had always been mine and the David guy was just there for nothing. I was going to take her back because she belonged to me. I would take her son too, I would treat him like mine. I knew that she wouldn't want to leave Eli, this was the reason I would build a connection with the little boy and then marry his mother after Savid had left. Chloe Hathway was the line of woman that I wanted to have - anyone would want to have her no matter what. I took her lips I to my own,

ETHAN. I couldn't deny that I felt jealous when Chloe left with that man called David. I was certain that he was happy that Chloe had left with him instead of stay with me like I had projected. I hated seeing the duo together. I wasn't sure who David was but certainly, I wanted to get id of him. I wanted Chloe to be mine alone. If I could have her as mine, she could then take up the space that belonged to her. I do u ted that she even knew how much I loved and wanted her to be mine. I made a mistake from the start. I didn't like that I did. That I made her suffer, I hated it so much. I had thought that she hurt my mother when she didn't and now I was paying for it. For the evil that I had done to her. The doctor finished dressing my wound, his hands quick and rehearsed as he worked on me. I had been two days since Chloe had been with me, she was always coming to see me and helping around. And god I loved it so much. Yeah, I wa sgoing through pain. The nurses were leaking my wound w

ETHAN. The hospital wasn't a place that I loved not after the death of my mother. Plus, my sister being in a coma and all of that. This made me hate the hospital. However, being here instead of her kind of made me happy. There was no regret, not even an ounce which was just weird because I had never felt this way toward any body. Well, Chloe Hathway was not just anybody. She was Chloe Hathway, a woman that I cherished in a way that I could not control. Chloe had a way of making me feel different. When I opened my eyes the next day, I was told that Grandpa had come to visit. But then I wanted to hear about Chloe.Hence I asked the nurse if she came. The nurse said yes. “Your wife, right?” She asked and I found myself shaking my head positively. Did Chloe introduce herself as my wife? I was happy with it though. She acted as my wife. “She was here all through the night and she only left when the police called her. She is such a caring woman,” the nurse had said. I felt more fulfil

CHLOE.The moment I stepped into the interrogation room and saw Olivia, every part of me twirled with anger. Why was she here? How did she come here? Why didn't I think that she could be the one behind all of these? She was nothing but a bitch who wanted advantage where she didn't belong. Staring at her right now I felt like smacking her face but then it was going to be tagged as insult. However when she opened her mouth, I started to have a rethink. Perhaps smacking her wasn't an outright bad idea. Her words annoyed me to the core and it took some level of self-control to not slap her face.“You!” she spat, pointing an accusatory finger at me. “Are you the one who told them to arrest me? Isn’t putting my husband behind bars enough? Now you want to destroy my life and my children’s lives too?! You want to leave them without a mother and father. You want me dead like your mother died?!” She shouldn't have mentioned my Mother. Mentioning my mother was the last level of self-control t

CHLOE. The shot had been so fast. I couldn’t even process it until I was nuzzling Ethan in my arms, his blood staining my hands. It was so bad that it felt like imagination. I couldn't bring myself to believe that he had been shot. How did this happen? And why? Who had shot the gun? Where did it come from? It happened so fast that I couldn't imagine it even though it was unfolding right in front of me. The glass wall had shattered all over the floor. Some had gotten into my skin as well. I just didn't mind because it didn't cause so much damage. I asked for help. Calling everyone around me. I begged them t help me and they did. The ambulance soon came and they look Ethan from me. Eli ran to my side after they had taken Ethan from me. “Are you his wife?” The nurse ahe asked me and I knew I had t say yes so that they woke allow me to be with him. Ethan had taken a bullet from me, I had to be with him. Sitting in the hospital hallway, the events kept replaying in my mind, over and ov

CHLOE. I couldnt help but wonder what I could do to her to make her feel the heat of me. To make her understand that I was back and I couldn't be meaaws with. I kept staring at her wondering where I could start from. She stood before me, her face pale and streaked with tears, her hands clasped tightly as she pleaded like a mourning mother. She looked sepressed. She wasn't as glmmes as she uses to be. She wore apurole dress which matched her hair like a monochrome. She was very bad with clothes, I changed her life back then. “Please, Chloe, show Grayson mercy. He has children, and I’m expecting another baby… him being in prison isn’t fair to them. Please…”I couldn’t help the bitter laugh that escaped my lips. It echoed through the room like a sharp blade. Although a part of me wa surprised that she was pregnant. She didn't look like she wa aacreying a baby. It could be one of her lies again but that didn't matter. I wouldn't have to hurt her again now that she had stated she was pr

CHLOE. The camera flashed on me over and over. I watched as my life came back to me. The person that I had always been. Chloe Hathway! “It took my family seven years to regain our wealth,” I said, my voice steady as I stood before the press, cameras still flashing and microphones poke toward me. “Getting justice for my family was the true battle. I had never in my entire life thought it was going to be so hard to get back what was mine. I was someone with the belief that whatever belonged to you could never be taken away from you!” I sighed, counting that mindset very stupid. Whatever belonged to you could be taken away countless times by people who couldn't even use it. One reporter stepped forward, her voice came clear. This time a reporter did not look at me with hatred. They were not mad at me like the rest of the world. “Miss Hathaway, we’ve heard that Mr. Grayson committed fraud and pinned it all on your father, using the company as a cover. Can you confirm this?” She asked

CHLOE. The proximity between us was nerve-breaking. I was sure that I would be able to control myself around him. But then I didn't want to give in again, yet the memories that we shared from the past kept plaguing my mind. I could only think about how he used to bang me against the bed. How he sucked my boobs the other day. I could only think about these things, faced with him like this. His breath was so close to my face. Every part of me thought of nothing but him. That I wanted him. He wasn't someone that I could have. Yeah, the reason for not wanting him or for thinking that I couldn't have him wasn't there anymore. Yet, it didn't mean I could have him. I wasn't sure that I could have him. “You brought your husband for what?” He ran his fingers up my waist. I was wearing a tank top with blazers and jeans, matched with heels. He was looking into my eyes, those burning gazes. He knew how to stare into a woman’s soul. He knew how to make her want him and he was using that on me.
