CHLOE.

“Please help me.” I let out desperately as I couldn't hold it anymore. I didn't do it, I was certain that the blood was too little for a miscarriage. I have rolled with nurses and doctors and I have seen cases of miscarriages, it wasn't like that.

The pain.

The blood, everyone seemed fake hence I was going to ask the maid to help me. She had to help me.

“Please,” I begged again, my voice barely above a whisper.

She stared at me dryly, saying nothing.

“You just have to tell the truth. Help me prove that I didn't do anything wrong,” I said.

She sighed.

“How can I do that when Katherine lost her baby and everyone saw you when you pushed her? Katherine is in the hospital bed now, in pain. I think all you have to do now is to go and beg Ethan. You also have to beg Katherine although I doubt that she is going to forgive you, she lost her child,” she said.

Her tone had anger.

She was disgusted by me. She snatched her wrist from my hand and then walked out of the front door. I

    CHLOE.Ethan's face was mere inches from gluing to mine. His perfume got in my nostrils, and it only made me want to snuggle closer to him. I couldn't do that, and we had this issue with Katherine which we hadn't solved yet.“I will only concur with this if it is proven that Katherine really had a miscarriage,” I said. Ethan turned to me, meeting my eyes. “What do you mean Chloe?” He asked. Then Katherine tried to speak but he held up his palm which made her stop speaking. I loved that he shut her up. I didn't know why that made me so happy. “I want to prove that Katherine really lost her baby. Ethan, I am versatile, I have worked with doctors and nurses, and I have seen women miscarry a baby. Someone who just lost a baby can never go on her knees even after two months of losing the baby. When did this happen.” I turned my head to Katherine and I saw all the air on her face dry up. She then shook her head.“Ethan, I only knelt because I am pained. Do you think I did not feel pain

    CHLOE. Ethan called me the next day. The other day we had a discussion over Katherine’s pregnancy and how I vehemently insisted that she was never pregnant. After the maid told me that he wanted to see me, my heart skipped a beat. I packed my hair in a bun after my morning skincare. As I headed for Ethan’s room, I had many scenarios playing in my head. I wondered if the result came out positive and if Katherine was truly pregnant so he decided that he was going to punish me. Katherine said she wanted me to be my master and I wouldn't lie; it scared me. Katherine was mean and she hated me so much. If she had truly lost her child because of me, she would make sure life turned into a living hell for me.I headed to Ethan’s workroom with a heavy heart. When I got in, I was shocked to see Katherine on her knees with a man, the doctor who had tested her next to her. Ethan stood in front of them, seething. Anger was oozing out of him like a smoke. “Wait, I was right?” I whispered and

    ETHAN. Chloe didn't come out on time and I had to wait in front of my car for some minutes. I wondered what she was doing that she didn't want to come out early, hence I went to her room and knocked on her door. “Where are you?” I kept knocking. I wouldn't be waiting if I didn't need her for the new project I and my team have been working on. Who knew that Chloe could be an asset to my company? Alaric Deane, a man I have been trying to work with for a long time. It wasn't just me that have been trying to work with. Every company in the state - world has been trying to make a deal with this man. Aleric Deane was the kingmaker. You know the kind of men who make presidents and governors. The one whose backing they needed to make the throne, yep, that was who this man was. Alaric was the underworld man, the one who was richer than all billionaires combined but would never make it to the Forbes list, yeah, it was this man. Now this man was in town and this was the only chance I had t

    ETHAN. I left her to go in the Lion’s den alone, without giving her any warning. Am I a bad person for doing that? Goodness, why was I even questioning myself? Of course, I wasn't. Chloe Hathaway deserved everything I did to her. She had been nothing but a wicked and heartless soul. Hence I shouldn't even feel bad for sending her to get something I desperately wanted. A contract with Alaric that could push me into the world. The world I didn't even know existed. The business wasn't fair game, you had to sacrifice and even make people do the dirty work. Chloe should do the dirty work. Yet, I found myself in front of the VIP room where Alaric was. The same room Chloe had entered. I sighed, pocketing both of my hands in my pants trousers; a whiff of air leaving my nostrils. I shrugged and then twisted the knob before going into the room. I saw Chloe speaking to him. I had walked in so gently that they didn't realize that I was behind them. Alaric eyes were on her lustfully. He wante

    CHLOE. Ethan took me to a restaurant to eat after he sent the money to me; two hundred thousand dollars. I didn't know the value of money before. To be honest, I was always spending money lavishly. I didn't value it. Money was to be spent and I thought it would never end. It wasn't supposed to end but it did. Now that I had to work to get money, it felt different. I felt excited to get the money, there was something about it that I couldn't explain. Like a worker getting her first pay at work. It felt so good. The food at the restaurant was so good. After we went home. I couldn't believe I had dinner with Ethan. He took me out to eat, maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought. Wait, what was wrong with me? When did I become someone who could change her mind about someone after he took me out for dinner? Wait the heck! I noticed Grandma was in the kitchen so I went in there and saw her preparing liquid food. It had to be for Ethan’s sister. “Someone looks happy.” Grandma noticed the mom

    CHLOE. He was one of the boys I saw in the dumping that Ethan took me to the other day. “Why are you begging in the street? And your place is quite far from here if I could remember.” I asked staring at him intently. He was wearing torn clothes and his body was dirty. I wondered when he had his bath last. He didn't stink though but his skin was very dirty. “My sister got sick so we need plenty of money and the only way I could think of is begging.” He explained, sighing. “How about jobs? Have you thought about getting any?” I asked and he nodded. “Apparently, no one wants to give a job to a homeless guy. They all think that I would start to steal from them or ruin their business.” Tears grew in his eyes. “We didn't grow up like this, my mom and dad got betrayed by someone they trusted and this is the reason we became homeless. It is not because they are lazy, it is because humans are wicked.” Tears slid down both sides of his cheeks and I felt a tug in my heart. This wasn't his

    ETHAN. I was shocked to find Chloe in the hospital next to Hannah and her child. I moved closer to them and was told that Chloe had paid for the hospital bills. I was shocked. She even paid for a one-month drug prescription for the little child. She must have used the money that I gave her to pay for it all which surprised me. When did Chloe change? How did she change? And who changed her? Wait, it couldn't be that she was no longer the Chloe Hathaway that I used to know. The one with pride. The same person who couldn't stand the sight of the homeless people. What changed?Who did she speak to and what did they say to her that made her have a change of heart? I couldn't help but wonder. Hannah and her son went to stay with the little girl while I went to speak with the doctor concerning the little girl. He promised me she was going to wake up but she needed to be on drug prescription for more than six months even after the surgery. Chloe had paid for one hence I paid additional m

    CHLOE. “Answer the question, Chloe, would you like to be my woman?” He moved closer to me, closing up the space between us. His hot breath was on my face and it seemed like he was going to kiss me. His face was mere inches away from mine, and I could feel his breath on my face. If I had moved a little closer, I would have met his face and our lips would have touched. “You have so much Ego.” I pulled back from him, regaining my senses. I hissed and looked away from him. I wondered if he knew that being that close to him had caused my breathing to jerk. “Is that not the reason you fancy me, Chloe? I know you like men who challenge you a little bit. You should be happy I am not interested in you. I know if I pursue you, you will not be able to resist me,” he said. “Wow, your Ego is perking up again. I am not surprised at all, Sir Ethan. And…” I turned to him, and I met his side view. He was handsome, god, he looked like a model. If he wasn't so rich, he should have opted to be a mod

    CHLOE. I thought to myself that David wasn't that bad, perhaps I could learn to love him. It shouldn't be so hard to learn to love someone. But it was so hard to unlearn loving. We danced to the music, just moving with the sound. It was fun, and at that moment I had nothing to worry about. I kept moving with the beat, my heart moving with the rhythm. It was so good dancing. David laughed and said some funny words as well. The music stopped and we were left with slow music. It was one of Gracie Adams's songs, this music was my work playlist. David lifted my chin and it seemed like he was going to kiss me. My heart pounded hard in my chest. I was not sure I was ready for him to kiss me but then this was the beginning of loving him right? He went as far as finding my playlist. Everything he did was to suit my taste. He did all these things just for me. Perhaps loving him was the right thing to do. Thinking about my son, it just all felt so right. “Do you want to kiss me?” He whis

    CHLOE. David's request sounded like it wasn't such a bad idea. Giving him some days to prove he was worth dating. I needed to move on too. I couldn't be stuck with someone who didn't care about me. Ethan. I needed to forget Ethan too. Although I was a bit skeptical about dating. I didn't want to be with anyone like my ex-boyfriend once again. David had been with me for years, perhaps I could trust him but then Olivia was the same. She watched me and then brought me down. I told him, Yes. He smiled, happy with my answer. He held my hand and then promised that he would do anything to make me happy. Every word he said got in one ear and out the other though. I didn't want him to prove that he was worthy of being dated. No. I was just scared. I should really move on. I needed to. “You can't come here during the time of courting me. You have to stop seeing Eli as well because now you are no longer my friend. We have started dating,” I said. He raised his eyes. “That is really weird.

    CHLOE. After handling everything at the office, I couldn’t help but feel relieved. The government had finally returned all the profits they had made while managing our company over the years. Sure, it wasn’t as much as we could have earned if we had been in control ourselves, but it was fair enough. It was better than nothing. It had been years. Although the profit was still massive. Once the work was done, my mind roamed back to my best friend and what I had said to him the previous day. Guilt ate at me. He had been nothing but kind to me—unlike Ethan, who always demanded something in return for the help that he rendered to me. David had never once asked for anything from me, let alone something so big. He had never deprived me. Ethan took every chance to make me feel smaller, he was that kind of person, and I hated him. I hated myself more for always falling for his tricks. As I walked down the reception area- my heels hit the floor. I was wearing the new Kate heels, and it was s

    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.
