Soon, the big day comes and it's time for the great exhibition to start in Adornet Art Gallery. Chloe was very excited and nervous as well.

Getting ready, she kept on looking at herself in the mirror with the same thought again and again. Would everything be alright?

Because since morning, she was feeling quite a strange feeling. She wasn't sure why this feeling kept haunting her, it felt like, something bad would happen.

Alexander noticed the restlessness and approached her from behind. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not notice her husband behind even after watching him.

He hugged her from behind. "What happened? Are you finally thinking of the result?" Alex thought it was because of the exhibition result.

From the beginning, Chloe was sure of her mind that, no matter what the result was, she only wanted to participate and that's her achievement. She is not here for any competition.

A small smile formed on her lips. "Competition has never been my fear, my Duk

    The head employees of Perficient Global were also invited to the exhibition. Alexander made it happen because he wanted to announce his wife to the world. In his ambition, it happened for the first time and the employees were so excited for the new beginning. "Guys! Director has appeared!" The head of Management came hastily to the P.G group. "Okay, of course, he will come. He is the owner after all." The executive Marketing manager spoke. She mocked a little. Envious of the you head of Management. "Oh, come on. It's not about the director. It's about the woman he brought along..." She said, almost dropping a bomb, gaining the group's attention. "Woman?" One gasped and she nodded. "Yeah, a beautiful woman they say. They are just entering! Director with a woman! This is the breaking news now!" Her words started whispering around, even inside people and employees of Adornet also excited to see the lady he brought with him. And soon, to reduce all the curiosity of people, entered

    The moment those words left his mouth, Chloe was in full shock. He did it! Not only her but the whole hall. They were guessing she was his girlfriend or Mistress. But wife? The world did not see that coming... The news is on live telecast and people are watching their duke's confession to his wife and the huge announcement. Thousands of dreams were shattered and greed was broken. They all watched the new dutchess. Well, the unexpected one. And in everyone, Anthony Rossi was included too. He watched the Great announcement on the television screen and stared at the lovely couple blankly. He laughed bitterly, feeling enraged and betrayed by his own blood. He finally dared to do this, huh? He wanted to be good finally, but it seems, his own blood does not want him to stay well. "Carson..." He called for his assistant as he bowed slightly from beside, "Yes, Master?" Staring at the screen, eyes were dilated dark and cold. He blew the smoke of his expensive cigar. "You know what to do

    "Are you sure to go back, sire?" Cornell asked his boss. Alessio stopped the huge telecast of the new dutchess and tossed the phone aside. His lips curved into a small as he looked up at his assistant. "Was I uncertain while making the decision?" "No, sire." Cornell shook his head. "Good, now where is it?" Cornell stepped a little backward and stretched his hand to the right side. "This way, sire." Alessio followed Cornell and he stopped in the private room in the jet. "It's already placed in your room, sire." He opened the door for him. Alessio went inside and on the bed, a huge canvas was waiting for him, wrapped in paper. He opened it and a very beautiful painting came into view. It says, 'The Memories' - R.V. "Isn't it beautiful, Cornell?" Alessio asked, watching the painting in adoration. "Yes, sire. James D. won't buy anything if it does not touch his heart." He smiled. "That's true though. She is talented and it does really touch my heart." He stated and Cornell nodd

    The little fellow stared at the tray of food before him and frowned, looking up at the people who dared to touch him and kidnap him. He was disgusted and angry. All he was doing was waiting for his parents to return after Chloe's huge success. He has seen them on television and wished to be with them. However, he was also happy when she smiled. But then suddenly, everyone around started falling asleep and before he could know these disgusting people came and picked him up from the palace. He wanted to struggle out but his body and strength were too little to fight against them. Now, he is here, stuck between these filthy people. He just hopes his parents quickly find him and take him back home. "He exactly looks like his father." Damien Bradford stated, watching the little child. "And cold too." Alice scoffed. "Just like his father." "Isn't he your son?" Damien turned to her and she raised her brow. "Any doubt?" "Then why he does not like you but that woman? That lowly maid

    Eighteen hours passed after the kidnapping ... "Chloe, darling, eat something, please." Jessica coaxed for the hundredth time helplessly. "If you do like this, you are gonna fall sick. Do you want that for yourself, baby?" Holding the blocks in Leo's bed, Chloe kept crying for the whole night, not touching a drop of water. She did not leave the bed for a second and kept hallucinating the little child around her. Even, Alex failed to understand her. "I can't..." Her tone was broken by all the crying. "Nothing will go down my throat, mama. He doesn't eat if I don't feed him. He waits for me to return home so we can eat together even if it's past his dinner time. He doesn't let others touch him." Chloe grabbed her mother's hands. "Mama, how is he? What is he doing now? I am sure he is waiting for me to save him. A-and what am I doing here? I... I couldn't even protect him! I couldn't be his mother! I... failed..." Chloe started crying. Everyone was worried because of the kidnapping

    It was a voice message from a private number on Chloe's phone. The voice was robotic and the location was imbalanced. The kidnappers demanded ten million euros without hesitation. They asked for ten million euros soon to be transferred into an anonymous bank account which seemed impossible to Crack at that point. Also, send Leo's frightened photo as proof. Which, broke Chloe more. Seeing the Little fellow scared and pale, she almost lost her consciousness. And Alexander, as furious. Because of those morons, both his wife and son were hurt. He would not let go once he got them. With the police force, now joined the Vikings and started locating the IP address. And soon, by the dual force, the exact location was traced and the whole squad of Vikings and police force were set to free their future Duke. Alexander and Cameron were joining the team. Chloe demanded to join them. She wanted to be there when her little child was rescued. He must have needed his mother at that time. She wa

    "One step ahead and I will slit his throat," Margot said. Her tone was cold and her eyes even colder. The true cruelty she has not even Alexander could gain it. "No!" Chloe gasped. Her world started spinning around at the sight of little Leo. He was almost unconscious in their hold and her heart was aching for him. "Mrs. Clowne, stop this game. It won't do any good to you or your daughter." Alexander spoke this time. His tone was harsh and cold. The touch of fear was invisible in his words. yet his heart was beating louder than ever. He could not lose his calm, not now. "Let us go, Duke Rossi and this time sent twenty million euros in my personal bank account, or else..." She gestured to her hand that was holding the knife. Alexander raised his hand. "Okay, you will get it. Just let my son go." "We will let us go first." She demanded and at Alexander's gesture, everyone stopped. However, both women did not notice two Vikinh squad behind them. They crawled out from the very depth

    "It does not only end here, Alexander," Richard added the word after clearing the doubts, making Alex frown in the exact moment of excitement. Richard smiled at his confused face. "Congratulations brother, you are gonna be a father for the second time." Alex blinked his eyes. That was a real surprise there. He not only learns about the truth, but he also gets to know that he is gonna be a father again by the same woman. Like is really a blessing for him today. However, before the excitement could high up, Richard's next words really broke it. "I know, this is very happy news for both you and Chloe. But..." He signed. "But what, Richard? Stop playing with my patience." Alex snapped at him. "After she gave blood and fell weak, we went through a full body checkup of your wife. We got to know about her pregnancy and also we have learned about a problem..." "What problem?" "Previously, her birth was unnatural. She was medicated for labour pain. Now, we are not sure if it was known or

    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,
