A few days later...

Today the new owner of this exquisite Art Gallery is coming to pay a visit and if anything goes wrong, I swear I will make you pay for everything that he would tarnish!" The supervisor of Adronet, Kelly Reynolds threatened Chloe.

Keeping her head lowered, Chloe only heard the rude and cold words of her supervisor. It's been three days since she joined her dream place as the caretaker of the high-class paintings. And from the very first day, she became the poison of Kelly's eyes!

It seems like, she would pick up any small reason just to insult her. However, Suppressing her inner anger, Chloe accepted everything. How could she not? This place Adornet, she wanted to be here from the bottom of her heart and when she got the chance, she can not let it go.

"What!? Why are you standing like a statue!? Did you hear me?" Kelly snapped at her and s

    "Agh!" Chloe gasped. More than pain, she is startled at the sudden incident. Ethan immediately ran toward her. "Oh, Lord. You alright?" He hold her by the shoulder and helped her to stand up. But the sudden fall made her legs numb and she stumbled again. Ethan was close to her and helped genuinely. However, none of them noticed how intimate the scene became. But, people standing in the distance noticed well enough. "Chloe Isabelle!"A High pitched and somewhat nervous tone of Kelly immediately parted them away. Kelly's heart almost ripped apart at the sight. The man she adores is so close to that bloody witch! How could she tolerate that!?Both their heads snapped in that direction. And Chloe regretted her reaction right away when her eyes fell on the very cold man beside Kelly. "Oh!" Unlike his boss, Cameron couldn't help his reaction and gasped at the sight of the woman. With the uniform, it was clear that she works here! And that made Chloe more helpless as she immediately low

    Chloe Locked the door with a thud and leaned against the closed door. "How dare he said that to me!? Bloody ruthless cold arrogant bustard!" She spits just whatever came into her mouth. Her heart was beating faster, as she inhaled deep breaths to calm down her rage. However, with her anger decreasing, her deeds started forming a clear image in her mind. And soon the realisation hit her. "I..." Chloe blinked and her eyes widened in shock. Fear coursed in as she immediately covered her mouth with both hands. "Oh no!" She almost cried at her stupidity. "Oh, Lord! How did I lose my control like that!? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What have I done!? Shit!" She started cursing herself, pacing like a crazy woman. And in the distance, the little fellow who was playing with his blocks now stared at his new mother indifferently. His little mind is confused, not knowing what has gotten into this woman! Why she is acting crazy like this!? Does she not know, an adult should not panic like this before a

    In the Old Rossi Mansion ... Anthony blew a set of smoke out of his mouth, leaning leisurely on his easy chair. Mind filled with the same thoughts. His family. How can he not worry when he has a very cold grandson and an even colder great grandson! A helpless sigh escaped his lips, getting Ast. Carson's attention. "Master, is there anything wrong?" He asked. Unlike his rigid posture, he cares about his master very much. At the attention, Anthony sighed again. "Is there any news from Daniel?" He asked, feeling restless. Even though he liked that girl for getting close to his great-grandson, it's still a question if she could melt that other iceberg! Carson realised his essence of worrying. "Master, please don't lose your heart. The new young Mistress has earned the attention of the little master already. I am sure, she will make it to the last." "You think so?" "Yes, Master..." Just after Carson's words left his tongue, Anthony's phone dinged with a text. It's very rare to come

    The next morning, Chloe was almost reluctant to go out for breakfast. Alexander is back now and he must be having breakfast in the dining hall! How could she just go and face him after that scene last night! However, Leonor is a very self disciplined guy. He has to eat his breakfast in the dining hall and in just time! Moreover, he is unwilling to go without his new mother. After failing to convince him a couple of times, Chloe has to follow Leonor reluctantly. And as expected, the very cold Duke was present there already, waiting for his son to appear. When Chloe entered, their eyes met and she felt a cold shiver rush through her spine. The scene turned slightly awkward for both. Even the servants could feel the tension between them. Unaware of all the adultery going on around him, Leonor elegantly walked toward his seat and looked up to his mother to put him there. Chloe did and sat beside him. Suppressing her inner tension, Chloe concentrated on Leonor. She picked up nutritiou

    That day, when Chloe returned home, Leonor was waiting outside for her with Daniel and Igor, with his little backpack on. The moment he saw her, Leo ran toward her and looked up for some attention with his expectant eyes. Chloe immediately bend down and picked him up. "Hello, pretty boy. What are you doing here?" She asked touching his chubby cheeks and Leo blushed at the remark. He hide his face on her neck and mumbled, "waiting." He still communicates with one word or highest, two. But, it was better than not talking completely. She walked forward and set her questioning gaze on Daniel. "Young Mistress, Elder Master called this afternoon and invited both you and little master for dinner. It's been a long time since he didn't see little master and you." "Oh... Okay." Chloe was wearing a suitable dress to meet her in-laws. So, she did not bother to change and nodded. "Let's go." Soon, they reached the Old Rossi Mansion. Chloe remembered this place. The new phase of her life sta

    "You!? Wh... what are you doing here!?" Chloe was shocked. How could that man come here!? Alessio did not answer, instead, he took a step forward. "Heard the new young Mistress accepted the invitation. Seems like I have met her already?" His expression is blank. Chloe pursed her lips, not sure whether to reply to him or not. She even started feeling a little scared now. What if this man has any ulterior motive? "Uh-I guess, yes? But, who are you?" She asked carefully taking a step back from him. "The new young Mistress..." Alessio murmured the words as if he is trying to taste it. His eyes were on her and now amused. He took another step forward, "So, you are that mysterious woman, huh?" The distance started making Chloe uncomfortable. She took another step back and that hit her back to the cold wall. However, Alessio did not stop forwarding to her. "What..." She was about to speak, when, "Second Master, young Mistress, Elder Master is waiting for you." The familiar tone of Ca

    Chloe was about to enter the car with Leonor when Alexander stopped her. "Get in my car." He stated coldly. Leo looked up at his father with a frown. He thought his father would also ask him. But when he realised he wouldn't, his frown deepened and he stared at his father with a dissatisfied look. Cameron opened the door for Chloe and she entered silently. Alexander's mood is strangely weird today. He is behaving too differently. Yet, she chose to not make a sound and oblige his orders. Leo stared at his father with some expectations, which did not work at all. "Close the door," Alex ordered and Leo turned way dissatisfied. He frowned again, "Bad guy... " He muttered and turned to the other side before the door is closed. Alexander "...." Did he just say that!? This little fella is getting too indisciplined and rebellious after that woman appeared in his life! Too much spoiled! Making a mental note to discipline him later, Alexander entered his car, beside Chloe. She sat in o

    The next day, after breakfast, Chloe went to her room to get ready and found Daniel waiting for her with a stand of clothes. "Stuard Daniel?" She asked confusedly and watched the clothes. All of them are formal attires. "What are these for?" "Elder Master has prepared this for you and sent this message." Stepping forward, he handed her a piece of paper. 'Dear Chloe, Hope you got the present. I hope you will accept them and best of luck for your first day at work.' Chloe Looked up at the clothes again and smiled reluctantly. "Please let him know I accepted his present." "Yes, ma'am." With that, Daniel walked out of the room. Chloe looked at the set of clothes once again. All of them are expensive and custom made. Surely, won't control her privacy even at work. She chose the simple black suit with a knee length skirt and wore it. She looked at herself. Because of its simplicity, it might not catch the expected attention of people. With a sigh, she came downstairs and said goodb

    Surprised, Chloe turned around and saw a couple of steps away Alexander was standing with a light on him too! This came as a shock for her as her eyes widened and for a moment she was speechless. "Alexander..." With a bright smile on his face, he took a step forward to his wife. "Good Evening, Dutchess." Chloe didn't reply to anything. Well, basically she couldn't as she kept staring at her husband in disbelief. Her state made him chuckle, as he started taking his steps forward slowly. "A year ago, exactly on this day, I have seen you. With your little and insecure steps, you have entered my cold palace. You were scared and I was ruthless, as usual." Alexander stopped a few feet away from her now and continued with his words. "I thought I always knew what I wanted from life. And then I see your eyes, my most favourite gems in the world. At that very moment, my world turned upside down and I stood confused. Not sure anymore what to do. I started doing things I was sure that I wou

    A few months later... Chloe twirled around in front of the mirror, looking down on the plumped figure of her fully grown ten month pregnancy. The whole family, specially under the continuous care of her husband, Chloe passed the dangerous pregnancy times and now everyone was waiting for the new member to arrive. Though it was already declared that she could not have a normal delivery due to her complications, Chloe accepted the fact and was always ready for her operation in mind. "Oh! You look so beautiful, darling!" Jessica chimed in happiness while her eyes turned teary. "I am so excited about this!" This woman was hell emotional! But, Chloe liked that about her mother. Sometimes she was crazy enough to give headaches and that was the beauty of this woman. These months Chloe has spent her most beautiful and memorable days with her mother. And the bond only grew stronger. Still, none of them spoke about the adoption or her real parents. Chloe has buried the truth for the better.

    No matter how much one tries to hide the truth, it never could be hide. Maybe, it would take years to come forward, but it would be in front of you just when you started thinking that your life was complete. That is exactly what happened to Chloe. In her point of view, her life was going perfectly, but God had another plan for her and the brown file came in front of her. The moment she opened it, she regretted giving in to her greed and not choosing to walk away. Because the file describes a truth she never thought Alexander would hide from her. It's the file of her real identity. The description of her real parents and how she was separated from them. However, Chloe did not see everything. When she realised the meaning of that file, she immediately closed it and slumped down on the chair behind her. Meanwhile, Alexander and Cameron also walked out of the meeting area and stopped seeing her. They saw the file in her hand and it did not take them time to understand what just happ

    "Sleep well at night?" Chloe asked taking a bite of her favourite buttered pancake with a sly smirk plastered on her face. Melissa groaned hiding her face on the pillow. "Shut it now, will you, bitch? How long will you tease me with this?" Both friends were sitting in the gazebo, their favourite place. However, the word 'bitch' caught Leo's ears. Stopping his work, he threw his displeased glance at Melissa. Immediately, she bit her tongue and apologised. "I am sorry, young Mistress, for my words." Satisfied, he once again focused on his work. Melissa "....." Leaning toward her best friend, she rolled her eyes. "Seriously?" Chloe enjoyed the scene. Her heart warmed up when her little boy stood up for her. She chuckled, feeling content. Every time it was Melissa who would torment her asking about her husband's behaviour towards her. She had to stay too cautious so that nothing was spelled too stupidly and give her new content for teasing. But, today it's different. Today Chlo

    Chloe felt she was slammed down from the sky to the ground as her eyes jerked open. She was in a daze. At first, everything was fuzzy in front of her and slowly realisation started hitting her. She found herself in the topmost shameful situation she could ever put in. Seating on the kitchen table, hair and clothes were a mess and then there was her husband standing between her legs as his hand was on her very private part.Her breath hitched in her throat as she looked at those emerald-green orbs, staring at her in confusion and guilt. Alexander immediately cut the call without even looking at his phone and joined their foreheads. To divert her mind, his fingers, once again started doing his magic. Chloe's lips parted slightly and taking the chance he took her into a very deep kiss. The moment once again started heating up then... 'Bring ~ Bring ...' His phone started ringing again, stopping them with that annoying sound. Chloe "....." She was so irritated and angry at the sa

    Both Alex and Chloe heard the gasp. And her eyes widened in shock and her gaze snapped down to them, cursing in mind for their stupid mistake. Alexander's brows furrowed together in confusion. "What was that?" Both Melissa and Cameron counted their times on earth. Alex wanted to look behind but before that Chloe stopped him quickly. "Umm.. baby!" And that was enough for Alex to fix his gaze on his wife. Because for the first time after their marriage, she called him by that endearment. It was not that he was hearing this particular word from her for the first time. She always calls Leo that way. But for him, it's so different. As soft and adoring it was for Leo, that sexy and luring it sounded for him. Chloe also realised later what she had done. But it was done. She didn't know whether she made him angry or not. Because, most times she witnessed men hated this endearment, she never said it to him. Blinking her eyes she tried to speak. "Umm... I..." Yet then again, she was lost

    'Umm.. I.. I was scared by my own shadow!' Chloe stated, cursing herself inside for giving such a terrible excuse. 'Do tell me he believed it, please God!' She counted times for herself. "Scared by your shadow?!" Jessica asked in confusion. She has never seen her daughter so helplessly scared before. "Goodness! What were you thinking, Chloe? You scared all of us." She touched her shoulder lightly. "You feeling good now?" She nodded her head quickly with a smile "Yes, I am fine. Don't worry. And... And I am sorry for worrying you like that." She apologised. Jessica shook her head. "It's alright. You are fine and that's what is important." She patted her cheeks. "Go and sleep, okay?" Then turning to Alex she said, "Take care of her..." Both Jessica and Daniel turned around to leave but Jessica stopped. "Umm... Did you see Melissa?" She asked. Basically, she came out to find her when she did not see her at midnight. Chloe froze. "Uh... Why? Isn't she sleeping at this hour?" She ask

    Chloe huffed and sat up on the bed. Looking up at the huge wooden watch with a gold border she pouted her soft pink lips. "It's midnight and he is not here yet." Looking at her right side she sighed. "When he will come?" With another helpless sigh, Chlod laid on the bed, turning to her sleeping son. She held him softly and kissed his chubby cheeks. The habit of sleeping early she grew since she stepped into the palace as everyone went to bed earlier and woke up with the sun. This was the strict rule of Alexander. And Chloe liked the idea a lot. Previously, while living with her family, she needed to complete all the work and then go to bed in the last but needed to wake up before everyone. Sometimes, she couldn't get to sleep for more than an hour. Then she went to work in Evans. And it was kind of the same there too. Though Maiden Anastasia never pulled it after one at night, still the workload every day was enough exhausting for Chloe that 4-5 hours of sleep every day wasn't eno

    "So, you guys finally decided to keep the baby... Congratulations." Richard smiled at them and the couple nodded. "Yes, we did... Mostly, it's me, doctor." Chloe confessed. "I understand the risque, still I am unwilling to let it go without a try." Alex caressed her hand, which he kept holding from the beginning. "It's alright, Chloe. You have your choice to decide. As a mother, it's your priority to do it. Only remember that you need to be careful always and always keep in touch with your gynaecologist." Richard suggested and they both nodded. "I will take care of her," Alex stated with determination. A few minutes later, the couple walked out of the hospital and settled into their car for home. On the way, Alexander got a call. However, when he saw the caller, he frowned. It was Alessandro Devonte once again. However, his change in expression did not go unnoticed by his wife. "What happened, Alex?" He shook his head. "Nothing... Work call." He replied blankly and with a nod,
