Chloe was so happy, hearing the news. However, her happiness lowered a bit, recalling the past incident and this did not go unnoticed by her husband. "What happened, dark eyes? Are you not happy?" Chloe stepped aside and walked toward the window. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked at the unknown. "I am happy, Alexander. It's just... I could let the fear go of losing once again..." She sighed. Chloe never really shared much about her past with him. Although he knew it by the background check, she wanted to share her feelings from that time. He surely knows the incidents but not her emotions. "Years ago, I might have gotten pregnant without consent, yet I started to find a light of hope. I was so happy for a new chapter in my life and then..." She turned to her husband with teary eyes. "Then everything was shattered and dreams have vanished. I lost my all hopes to live, Alexander." "All of you always questioned why am I so drowned to Leo. You always wondered for a reason. But I
Chloe stared at the headline on the paper. Her whole body seemed to float and everything has vanished around her. It was only her and those few easy words, holding her dear life into them. Slowly, she caressed her wobbly fingers on the black and bold words. 'The DNA report of Chloe Isabelle and Leonor Rossi'. 'DNA matches: 99.9%' According to the report, there was not a single doubt that she was his biological mother. Gradually, she once again returned to the world and she had automatically turned to the little fellow, sleeping peacefully. She remembered well how he called her 'mama' at their first meeting and the pull of closeness she felt toward the little child. That wasn't a coincidence at all, but the hint of something amazing. It took them months to realise this truth, but nature has found the truth in the very beginning yet no one understood. "H-he is my son... M-my own son..." She muttered to herself, trying to process the reality. Reality has always been hard for Ch
"Thank you, for trusting me," Anthony spoke lowly, sitting on the sofa in the other room. Ast. Carson was standing in front of the room and Igor too. Alexander wasn't very sure to let her be alone with his grandfather. However, Anthony did not seem to mind that and concentrated on talking to Chloe."I have heard what happened..." He sighed. "Never thought a mother could do this to her child." He shook his head. "Alice really overdid it. But I am glad both my Alex and Leo have you." Chloe heard his words and pursed her lips. She wasn't really sure whether to let him know the truth and finally, she decided to say it. "Alice was not Leo's biological mother." She uttered and Anthony frowned. "What?" Chloe nodded her head. "Yes. Four years ago, she hid him from his real mother and in exchange handed her a dead child. For years, she thought her child was born dead and kept blaming herself. Whereas that filthy woman has taken away her son for her own selfish motive... But at least, he gr
A few days later, "Did you tell her yet, Alexander?" Riley asked on the face time and Alex shook his head with a sigh. "I don't know how to do that, Riely. She... She is so happy right now and I don't know how to say this to her." Alex felt stressed and scared. Chloe was living happily. If he told her the complications of her pregnancy, she would be broken. "Alexander, I know this is very much unusual for both of you. But as you know, the chances are fifty per cent. If any complication starts taking over, she will be scared, and knowing you knew it from before and did not tell her, she would be broken. She should be prepared for all the situations that could cross your path. Moreover, as a mother, she deserves to know. Remember one thing, a mother needs to know every detail of her situation, so she can be mentally prepared because she is the one going to give birth and your responsibility is to be her moral support." Alex nodded his head. "You are right, I will tell her soon." R
After Leonor was asleep, kissing his forehead, Chloe sighed. "I am sorry, my baby. I couldn't save you in the beginning. But, I promise you, your mama will always protect you no matter what." Kissing him again, she stood up and walked out to the huge veranda. Even though he liked her, the pain of being unable to tell him the truth hurts like hell. But to protect his little mind, she has no other choice. As she was drowned in her thoughts, Chloe did not notice her husband behind her. Alexander just returned to the room and found his son asleep while his wife was engrossed in her own thoughts. He hugged her from behind. Yet, she did not flinch. Chloe got used to his sudden touches and she now could tell his presence around her. She leaned on his chest and he kissed her head. "Did you tell him the truth?" He asked and Chloe shook her head. "I could not. He does not want his mother but Mama. Maybe, we could never let him know the truth, Alex, but..." She turned to him. "But, the lov
Chloe sucked in a deep breath, carefully watching the beautiful hairpin. It was a bow styled hairpin with a ruby in the middle and the whole body was covered in specially cut diamonds. The more she sees it, the more feels blessed as well as nervous that she was trusted with this by someone who cared a lot about Alexander. They never met and there was no chance for that, yet Chloe felt like she was so connected with the person just through the pin. Keeping it back in the box gently, she picked up the white note. Chloe still did not see it. She wanted to read it taking her time and understanding the feeling of words that were written. With another deep breath, she unfolded the note and her first thought was, that it was written so beautifully. The handwriting was so danm good! Eventually, she started reading the note... 'Hello love, When you are reading this I am already gone from this world. But, whoever you are, I am certain of your gorgeous personality that holds you with my A
"Oh, my my!" Jessica squealed and immediately strode to her daughter, pulling her into a hug. "Oh, my love, I am so happy for you!" "Yeah, me too!" Melissa hugged her next and turned to Alex. "Congratulations to you too!" His facial structure was soft and he nodded gratefully. He still doesn't feel comfortable showing his emotions so openly in front of others. "Congratulations, Master and young mistress. This news definitely added much more happiness in the palace..." Stuard Daniel wished and others nodded along, Smiling brightly. They were happy too. A very good news, after such a long time! Why wouldn't they be!? They all came back to the living hall and everyone congratulated them one after one, excluding one person. He was almost hiding himself in his father's arms. The moment he heard the news of Chloe's pregnancy, little Leonor suddenly lost all hope in his life. His mama is pregnant. That means another baby is coming into this world. Her own child. Then what about him? W
Alex went behind his son. Getting inside the room, he found him removing his shoes like an obedient child. Standing away he watched him. Leonor climbed on his bed. He did not choose to go to his parent's room anymore and came to his. Slowly, he pulled the pillow in the middle and laid down. Did to look back or wait for anyone, just laid down on his side, he closed his eyes. Alexander sighed inwardly and walked to his bed. He did not disturb Leo but sat at the edge of the bed behind him. "I know you are sad." He spoke, but Leo did not move. "But, your mother was not guilty in the situation. Right after your birth, you were taken away by the bad people. They told her, you did not make it, and gave her a dead child. So, she believed you died." Leo did not react at all, but he listened to his father's words. "When she first stepped inside the castle, I was desperate to chase her out and she was almost, but it was you, stopping her. You brought her back to the palace and at that tim
