Chloe's POV
"Don't, please don't do it. Don't get any blood on your hands," I pleaded as I cried blood but his heart was hardened and I could see the veins Poppin on his forehead.
"This bastard lay his filthy hand on you, so he had to pay with his life!" Jayden was always protective of me, but he was taking it too far at this point, because his attempt to save my life could ruin his.
"Nooooo!" I screamed as I closed my eyes and heard the sound of the trigger being pulled.
Did he shoot him? I couldn't let him take responsibility alone, I opened my eyes with the thought of taking the blame for him and asking him to leave the scene, but I woke up to a different scene.
"You're awake," he was beaming at me and I couldn't help but smile back as I looked up.
"Where is the gun?" I asked as I looked at both his hands.
"What gun?" He shrugged and placed the tray of food by my bedside.
I c
Chloe's POV"You don't have to do this, Chloe, in fact, I don't want you to. Just rest and-""It's fine, Jayden, I promise," I got off the bed and pulled away the duvet I had wrapped around myself."I know, but it's your mother. She's always demanding and stuff and I just don't want to put you around people that don't make you comfortable anymore, I could honestly pull them out of your life is you want," he said and I shook my head as violently as I could to get the message of my disapproval across.That would be my night mare coming to past and I couldn't afford for him to have blood on his hands."If you're so concerned you can come with me. So far, Shawn hasn't made mention of Anthony that happened to my parents and my mother has never really gotten violent with me," I smiled at him but his pout remained."I just want to squeeze your cheeks so much, my big baby," I got on tip toes and pinched his cheeks.
"Why are being so dramatic? There were no casualties in the bomb blast and since when did you become an humanitarian?" I teased, as I was unable to understand her hysteria."Not blast, accident, your dad!"I turned and gasped as the news had moved from the coffee shop tragedy to another one and the first thing I recognized was the car missing in the garage."That's. Dad's. Car," I said word for word as I feel back into the chair with my eyes following the words in the screen and my ears barely catching what was going in around me.A drunk truck driver had run into dad's car and they collided head on.The trunk driver died on the spot, but they don't know about the other driver who was rushed to the nearest emergency hospital."Dad," I called out as I felt my dress being dragged from my body and almost torn apart, but I couldn't react.I just sat still and stared ahead.The acciden
"How dare that lazy nurse tell me that I'm too agitated and who is she to call my husband a patient?" My mom was close to locking the doctor's coat on his neck when a hand reached forward and stopped her. "Stop it," Jayden scolded as he firmly grasped her wrist, his expression stern yet understanding. "Why? They won't let me see my husband, your father! How can they be so cruel. You, how can you support them?!" "Because we are not lazy and are trying our best. If you will come to my office, I will brief you about the situation when he came in, because to tell you the truth, his chance of survival is-" "Shh, don't tell me that, my husband is a fighter, so it doesn't matter your stupid chance of survival," she sneezed and Jayden hurriedly pulled his coat, ready to cover her with it when I heard footsteps approaching and turned to the back. I didn't know how to react when he jogged forward and ran up to mom. "Mom, I heard about the accident and rushed over as soon as I could," Shawn
Jayden's POV"So tell what is the chance of survival you were mentioning earlier, you aren't even a part of the doctors in the theater room," I said as I adjusted my sitting and straightened my back, feeling taller and basically looking down on him as at this point, I could see the crown of his head."I had to leave the operation room because a senior decided to take it on herself. She is well respected and her reputation is one that could possibly raise the dead," he said and looked in my eyes with hesitation as his pupils kept darting left and right."But?" I urged him on."I honestly think the chance of him truly making it out of the surgery room in wholeness is ninety nine to one."I stared at him and further rolled up the sleeves of my shirt to reveal my flexed muscles.An action"I know I shouldn't be saying this as someone who is supposed to be saving lives but you look like you think rational and
"We will be back soon, I promise. Just a cup of coffee," I pleaded until she eventually gave in."Why are you going there?" She asked as I took the curve that led to the underground parking lot."The car?""No, let's walk, you said it's just a few blocks away, right?" She asked and I nodded."Yes, ten minutes tops.""That's okay then, I need to breath," she said and I skipped my steps to her side feeling glad for the extra minutes we will get to spend together."So tell me, what did the doctor say? How bad was it?" She asked but I shook my head."Let's just enjoy the breeze now and talk over coffee,""Fine," she pouted and I hurried to stand in front of her like a curtain."What are you doing? We are out in public.""I know, but I can't let someone else see you smile like that. That face is only for me," I bent over and kissed her nose.She smiled and gi
Chloe's POVThe bottom line of what he had said was that even the doctors didn't have hope.I did though and that's why I got on my knees and prayed.I prayed for him to survive the surgery so I could properly thank him for everything that he had done for me so far, however it seemed even my prayer points were a more cruel fate than him going now.He wouldn't be able to use his lungs and might remain a vegetable for the rest of his life.He wasn't an arrogant man, but he had his pride like every man and realising that he had to be reduced to such a state would have definitely been something he wouldn't want, so I had to go.I had to be there even though he might be heavily induced with drugs or the pain, I still had to tell him that I was truly grateful.So I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could take me and found myself at the reception again, but my mom was nowhere in sight.I the
"And the contract, what's that about?""Your mother, my sister give you a choice. For six months, you play your part and help the family. The details are in the contract and we can talk more later," he adjusted his hat and picked back his shades."And the contract, what's that about?""Your mother, my sister give you a choice. For six months, you play your part and help the family. The details are in the contract and we can talk more later," he adjusted his hat and picked back his shades."A probation period, ehn?""We talked some more with him being excessively conscious before he glanced at his digital watch again." I think really have to let you go now," he said."Oh, it's okay, we can actually finish up, since we are almost done.I said."Actually, no. The sun is down and your sister needs you. I should have informed you earlier about your dad's passing but-""M
Jayden's povChloe hadn't came out of her room since we got home.The body remained at the mortuary while my mom insisted on taking over the burial process and discussing it with the Fitzgeralds who promised immense support throughout the process of the burial and I couldn't be more grateful.I still didn't feel any grief and didn't any to be a part of it.I just wanted to help Chloe get over it soon, seeing as the break was almost over. I wanted her to resume school fully prepared while having it in mind that I will be there for her throughout."Grrrrr!" My alarm clock rang and I hit it with much more violence than it deserved because of the text I was reading.I put up my phone and dialed a number I was starting to get too familiar with."Just like your mother. I'm assuming that this call is because of the te
Chloe's POV Never. “Why are you getting away from me, aren't we friends?” “You sound like a creep right now, Pascal. Haven't you done enough? I beg of you, please don't come close. “Done enough? I haven't even done anything yet. I really really begged you yesterday, but you just had to do that. Why?” “Are you really asking me that? Pascal, you're one of the smartest and most admirable people I know, why are you doing this to me, it's really unfair and…” “It's all your fault. Why do you smell so nice? Why did you moan so well? Why in the world did you look so sexy in bed with that stepbrother of yours? But above all, why aren't you mine? I'm begging you to do this with me just once but you keep pushing me away, isn't that what's really unfair?” He asked as he stepped closer. He took such a big stride that I stumbled backwards from fear and hit my back on the r
Chloe's POV “You must have been really tired from the ride. That Timothy didn't tell me it would be so far from home,” Jayden said to comfort me and I tried to smile, I swear I really did, but I felt my eyes start to sting from tears and turn glassy. I wanted to cry and pour it all out, but when I looked at the concern in his eyes, I just couldn't bring myself to. I felt like a betrayer for finding it hard to open up to my only confidant. I sniffled back my tears as I forced myself to sit up. “Come on, it's just fatigue from the trip,” I said. No matter how much the place looked nice, I couldn't bring myself to truly admire it. “In that case, why don't you rest up,” he said and I would have agreed to it if my phone suddenly didn't ring. It was silent, so I could only feel it with my hand and my heart throbbed. Who could be calling?
Jayden's POV “Didn't you guys say it would make her get tired of me? Why are you bringing it up now?” I couldn't help but shout as they laughed at me. The guys must have noticed the air she was putting up and I felt sincerely grateful for their intervention as Chloe seemed to open up more. “Is that true?” She asked looking teary eyed and it touched my heart at how touched she was that I couldn't help but pull her into a hug. “Yes sweets, I knew I should have come to see you instead of listening to these bastards,” I said as I glared at Timothy and Benjamin seemed to agree with me. “Jayden,” she held onto me tighter and I heard her sob. “I'm sorry, don't be upset. Is there anything you want? Let me make it up to you,” I patted her forehead as I kissed her and she didn't disengage until they brought our food. Her eyes looked puffy. “No it's fine, my p
Chloe's POV “No, I don't, I'm sorry.” “So annoying!” Pascal cussed as he hung up this time and flung the phone against the wall and I followed the movement as it hit the wall hard and cracked. “You can't do this to me,” I was shocked at how he seemed to be above reasoning. “It's taking me everything to not fuck you right here, Chloe. Help me. No matter how much I masturbate to your pictures, I can't seem to get you out of my mind, that's why the only way is for me to have you. Even if your husband kills me afterwards, I'll be happy it'll be a happy death because I have my seeds inside you.” “You're not even sad about your break up!” He was plain crazy and perverted. “I can't think straight!” He cried out. “Pascal, I can't fuck you,” I was pleading when he suddenly held my hand and placed it on his bulge. It was hot at this point as he presse
Chloe's POV“Pascal?” I called softly as he raised his head as I realized that he had been crying.“I'm sorry Chloe, I'm really sorry. Hit me all you want,” he was full-blown sobbing and it was way too troublesome.Why did the boys around me drop to their knees and start crying after doing something wrong?Jayden had done the same and I'd raised my gown and forgave him, but I would be more crazy and totally out of my mind if I did the same for Pascal.“Let go of me first,” I said, but he shook his head.“I can't, Chloe, I need you. How about this,” he sniffled and he wiped his tears that would stop pouring.“Uhn?” I glared down at him, whatever it is that he wanted to say, I didn't want to hear it.I had made the worst mistake of all by trusti
Chloe's POVIt was another school day and I kept repeating the words Jayden told me in my head as I made my way up the stairs, intentionally taking the least used one.And the moment I got to class, I realized that the whispers had turned to, “ She's so kind, but she has enough power to stop this school and everyone in it from existing. We should keep our distance.”Just like that, I had turned to some terrifying mafia that they had to watch their backs around.“Acknowledge my strength and ignore unless provoked,” I kept telling myself, but I couldn't deny that the states were provoking.Did they want their eyes plucked out?!I felt shocked at my thoughts and now,I just couldn't wait to go home. I needed more practical advice or maybe a break from school altogether.Just when our teacher w
Chloe's POVThey were whispering between themselves and filling my every movement with their gaze. I could tell that they probably had something to say, but nobody approached me until I got to my seat.I sighed and rested my head on he table. I didn't want to think about the class I had next. I needed some well deserved sleep, or at least, that's what I thought until I heard a knock on my desk right above my head.With my face squeezed in the deepest frown I could muster, I raised my head, but when I realized who it was, all my frown melted and I naturally smiled as Cindy squeezed my cheeks and squealed.“You look so cute when you're angry, I could kiss your face right now, but I don't want to die or be sent out of the country,” she said and I stretched my hand to cover her mouth.“What are you doing? Don't say that too loud,” I scolded as I drag
Chloe's POVIt was another day to deal with people kissing up to me and asking me about Pascal.That unapologetic bastard!By the time we came downstairs, Cindy had already gone home and we heard weird noises from the guest room.I had no doubt that she was seeing someone and Jayden confirmed it. So much for someone who just lost her second husband 2 months ago.I sighed as I tried to focus on the teacher in front, but I kept getting those stares of admiration and of course, jealousy.All new, all at once and it was just too much for me, but gladly, Cindy was sitting right in front of me.“I had no idea you were this popular in class,. I mean you were popular for being easy to bully, so this is all too new for me to take in,” she turned to the back, completely ignoring the Economics teacher in front.
Chloe's POVHe made me smile even though I had those words imprinted in my heart as I now had the duty of protecting the people I care about from hurting me.“Do you remember the first time I tasted these lips of yours?” He asked and I looked at him, wondering where the question was from.“It was the night I got home after my military discharge. I was so excited to see the little girl I had been in love with for five years, so when I saw you, I couldn't hold back,” he confessed as his hands started to crawl up under my skirt, squeezing my thighs as he climbed further up.“Hmm,” I nodded, trying to stifle a moan.We were at it all night, with him testing different toys on me and toying with me to the extent that I had to cry to beg him to make me have an orgasm, but even then, he still managed to arouse me again and stretch it for as l
