'Was he good in bed?' Melissa asked and Chloe blushed, recalling the time with him. Honestly, she never thought that cold man would do such a thing to her and even give her the feeling of his huge manhood even when he is not present. He kept his promise! It really seems like she would only feel him in her pursuit for the next seven days! Oh God, how would she ever face him!? That time she was out of control, but now, she was embarrassed as fuck! The way she clung to him and screamed for more and more, she could not believe herself... "Yeah, got it..." Melissa smirked at her blushing face. As she kept on teasing Chloe, the bus came they went to the hospital. The whole way Chloe was anxious. Why the hell this Road do not end quickly!? Jessica was happy to be relieved finally. She was hospitalised for such a long time that she almost forgot how does it feel to be out of that unofficial prison. It did not took more than fifteen minutes to be released. Jessica went to bid goodbyes t
It wasn't only a decision but the full stop in Chloe's life. 'She will stay here from now on.' That is the only line she could hear for some time. Her head felt dizzy and the world seemed dark. For a moment, she wanted to lose her consciousness, however, the moment she realised it could disclose her truth, she cancelled her thoughts and stood straight. "Do you want me to talk to Master?" Seeing Chloe in tension, Jessica asked. She doesn't want to do anything that could be trouble for her. She already created much and not anymore. Chloe sighed inwardly and put on a smile for her mother. "Of course, not. As he said, you will stay here, but..." She paused, take a careful glance at her surrounding and as expected, the old butler was curiously watching them with a displeased frown. Maybe something did not hit right toward his view, so no need to take the risk. She turned to Melissa. "Show her the room. It's better if she stays with you." There was a hint for Melissa to understand and
"What happened?" The sudden cold tone broke Chloe's trance as she turned to Alex. Both he and Leo was staring at her as she stopped providing them with food. Blinking, she shook her head. "Nn-nothing." Muttering, she placed food on their plates. As she was feeding them, suddenly, baffling everyone, Alex picked up a piece of meat and put it in front of her lips. "Here, take it." He said. Chloe blinked, stunned at the gesture. "Take it," Alex spoke again and slightly her lips parted as he put the meat on her tongue. Chewing the piece, she stared at him in disbelief. Did he just feed her? Well, he did and he does not have any reaction in his doing. Their gazes were looking at each other. Suddenly, Alex noticed the little something at the corner of her lips. He raised his hand and wiped the place with his thumb before sucking his own thumb. Originally, he wanted to dot hay with his lips and not with his thumb. Buy considering the environment and all eyes on them, he remained gentle
Soon, a few days passed away with lies lingering around. As advised, Jessica did not create any problems for her daughter. Though it was hard for her to stay alone always, she did not try to overstep her boundaries. Chloe and Melissa both could feel her pain. Yet, they were helpless. Currently, both friends were sitting together in the gazebo with the little fellow beside them, enjoying the afternoon breeze of the weekend. Chloe spend the most time with her mother today and she just return to have some rest. "I feel very bad for Jessica. How long she is gonna stay like this?" Melissa sighed and so does Chloe, shaking her head. "I don't know..." She paused. "How about we tell her everything?" Melissa suggested and Chloe rejected the idea. "I don't want her to feel guilty always. She already finds every other way to blame her for my situation and if she gets to know the truth, it will be harder to make her calm." Both friends nodded. "Then how long are we gonna pretend..." "Young
Chloe was too scared to even look at Alex. However, his eyes were on her exactly. He is well aware of Chloe's relationship with Alice, which she was unknown to. Soon, his eyes found Alice and the Emeralds shone with coldness. "What are you doing here?" He believed he had given her what she wanted years ago. Now what again? "Why am I here?" Alice kept her hand on her heart and her eyes widened in surprise as if his words were too new for her. "Alex, I am Leo's mother. I am here to see my son and..." She took a few steps forward, her eyes softened, "and you..." His brows raised in amusement. What is this woman? She is like a dark witch who only knows how to destroy and there is no good about her. Even if she cries, that is only a show off, selfishness and lies. "You did sign an agreement, do you forget that, Miss Clowne?" Alex asked coldly, his face turned expressionless. Alice paused. She knew this would come forward. Still, she stood on her ground shamelessly. "I know. But, how
Alice did not bother about Chloe anymore, she directly went out to the gazebo and Chloe only watched her. Does she want Alice to take away what she started thinking of her own? The answer is a big 'NO'. But, she has no other choice. It has never been her choice. All she remained other's puppet in her entire life. This moment was nothing exceptional either. "Young Mistress..." Daniel's soft tone broke the chain of her thoughts as she turned to face him. "Are you alright, ma'am?" The old man was very concerned for him. A forced smile appeared on her lips as she only gave a firm nod, not trusting her tone. Daniel lowered his eyes. He has grown a soft corner for this young Mistress. She is kind and easy to get hurt. She has mixed in the family as if they all knew each other for years. She has no arrogance but a deep respect for everyone in the palace. A true lady who has grown up to become a sophisticated woman. How could anyone let her get hurt? Even their master too? Wasn't he obs
"Who!?" Melissa gasped, covering her mouth. She might have seen Alice for the first time but the deeds of that Clowne family weren't a secret to Melissa. She is not the best friend just by name after all. Chloe nodded, looking at her toes. "Yeah, she is." But, what shocked Melissa was the news of the biological mother. She never thought Leonor's birth mother would turn out their sworn enemy! Yeah, as she is Chloe's best friend, she would despise that family always. "But, you never told me this..." Melissa muttered after a brief silence, that made Chloe smile in sorrow. "I wish I knew this from before." "That means, you also didn't know?" Melissa asked, a little confused and Chloe agreed. "For years, she wasn't at home but lived in another city to become a famous model and actress. And today she become one. I guess, that time she met Alexander and..." Her heart twisted at the thought as she felt nauseous. Somehow this one information is too hard to digest for her. "You okay, Be
Chloe did not reply to his words. He wasn't wrong though. She was thinking about Alice, yet it was just a part of her thoughts. When Chloe did not reply, he turned her to face him, cupping her cheeks, he joined their foreheads. "Don't worry, dark eyes. I am infatuated with you. There will be no one else." He said and she looked him in the eyes. Always cold emerald ones are now sparkling with different emotions. They were soft, unlike usual days, giving her tickles all over. Alex sighed, recalling that night three years ago. "There was nothing between me and Alice. Years ago, she drugged me which caused that one accident." He explained and she gasped. Chloe never realised that someone would even dare to drug the Duke of Iquarayon! She only thought, as the weakling, Chloe was an easy target but now it seems, even after they come from a different world, they had the same fate somehow. However, she did not share her destiny and kept silent as Alex spoke, "After that night, the woman
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,
