View MoreSEBASTIANI tapped the pen against the blue manilla folder as thoughts of the previous night threatened to get the best of me. Chloe’s panicked smile as she slid her hands into mine when the paparazzi had shown up was still in my mind. The fact that someone so smart was nervous about being seen with me puzzled me. How much had her ex hurt her, that she felt so lost?"I wish you can simply open up and talk to me, Chloe," I whispered slightly to the quiet office.But, I knew that was definitely not possible. She may have opened up a bit, but something told me that she didn’t trust me. I don’t know what to do to make her see that I wasn’t like her ex, and I was a better man than her ex.Shaking my head lightly, I couldn’t help the smile that touched my lips. Gosh! I was really acting up these days.My iPhone beeped, and I peered closely to it, realising that it was a message from Draco, telling me to call him. You would have to wait for a long time, man. I’m not in the mood to listen to
CHLOEWhat?I stared at Sebastian, my mind reeling with shock. Of all the things I expected, this… “Marry me?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.I couldn't believe my ears. What did he mean? Sebastian nodded, his expression serious. “I know it's sudden, but please, don't feel alarmed or upset and let me explain.”“I don't understand,” I let out breathily, leaning against the nearest chair.For a moment I could have sworn I saw something flash in his eyes, but it was gone and soon replaced with his normal neutral expression.“Sit down Chloe,” he said in a much gentler tone I'd never heard from him before. “The truth is, I made this proposal because I want to protect you, Chloe. I of all people know how it feels to be under scrutiny,” he smiled wryly,“No matter how that past was, you're one of my best employees. More than that, you're pregnant, and you deserve a stable and secure future for yourself and your child. I can provide that.”A lump formed in my throat. Everyth
CHLOE That day, I had packed all of my belongings and left the company with my head high. Nathan had been the one to take me to his branch at the other end of the city. Over the next few weeks, I settled into my new role at Sebastian's branch, no longer a secretary, but a Personal Assistant. Sebastian was different to work with. Despite being more quiet and reserved he was more strong-willed in his decisions, a far cry from Nathan who was impulsive and sometimes lazy.I was surprised by how much I enjoyed working with him. He included me in decision-making and asked for my advice, which was a change I hadn't expected but it was true to what he told me the day he hired me.When I asked him why he had saved me that day, his answer surprised me.“It wasn't out of pity if that's what you think. It's Nathan's loss to fire you. You're smart, resourceful, and talented. You're too good to be stuck as a mere secretary," he continued. "You deserve better. You always did.I was taken aback b
CHLOEFor a moment, everything was silent. I was at a loss of words, staring at him. What were the chances of seeing him again? In this sane street no less? It felt like life was playing a joke on me. Thinking of the bags and belongings in my arms, heat rushed to my cheeks followed by humiliation. I must have looked a mess with my sleeping gown and red eyes and he was seeing me in this state after yesterday.He stepped out of the door and I couldn't move as he looked closer. His icy blue eyes held no emotion as he looked over me as though analyzing and I fought the urge to cringe back or cry. He didn't say a word, or ask any questions, but I should have expected it. With my belongings outside his brother's house, it shouldn't have been too hard to tell what happened.“Let me take you to my home.” He simply said and I blinked in shock, Surprise filled me as I looked at him. Of all the things I thought he was going to mention, that was the last thing.He was offering to take me to h
CHLOE Fuzzy memories cane back to me. Years ago, he was the second brother I had to deal with.I couldn't remember much thanks to the pool accident, but the faint bits I remembered were frightening. Faint memories of him being violent, punching others, bruises on his face and body.I didn't remember much but after waking up, Nathan was quick to talk me everything.While Nathan had saved my life, Sebastian was the one who pushed me into the pool.Because of it, Sebastian was sent away to the UK as punishment. I hadn't seen him since then and that was nearly a decade ago.But now, apparently, he was back.My gut clenched against the sight of his face and his hands. Despite them being twins he looked completely opposite to Nathan with black hair instead of blonde and a broad frame, the main similarity being their blue eyes. I could only recognized that face from the pictures in his family home back then. Why was he back? When did he return?I blinked back to reality when I realized th
CHLOE “I'm pregnant,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.My heart pounded in my chest as I looked at Nathan’s face, frozen in shock. What was he going to say now?“I was thinking…” I continued nervously, “There’s no need for us to hide this anymore. It's been years. I know how traditional your parents are. Even if they wouldn't ordinarily approve but now we can get engaged-”“You. Bitch.”I froze as I processed what he said. What?Nathan looked up and my heart sank at his quickly his expression had changed. His eyes were narrowed, “You're trying to trap me,” he sneered. “You think a baby will keep me tied to you?”I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Disbelief filled me."No, Nathan. I—"But he cut me off with a laugh, grating and bitter.“We had a good run Chloe,” he said and my blood turned cold. “What do you mean?” I asked, dread filling my gut. Surely he wasn't saying…“Don’t act dumb Chloe. I'm breaking up with you.” He said, voice cold and detached. “I don't want a
