Zach sat close to Chloe watching her intensely as she went into a deep slumber not minding the world around her.Anna had told Zach there were some bruises on Chloe and seemed very fresh, her face also looks a bit swollen.Mike left a few not quite long, he gave her some painkillers and sedatives so she would have a good sleep. Zach kept wondering what happened that caused her those bruises and had made her stay under the shower for a long time.Staring at her he couldn't help but be amazed at how beautiful she was. This was the second time he kept getting lost in her beauty."Young master, you seem worried about her, I never knew you had that in you though." Daryl snickered, making Zach cast him a hard glare."Find out what the hell happened between the time she left the office and now." "You are not denying it, wow" Daryl mumbled but Zach decided to ignore him."Boss, what about the office? You have loads of work to do and some important meetings ...." "Reschedule them… If anyone
"Just a little disagreement," Chloe replied and sat back on the stool eating her KitKat."I met you having a busted lip, swollen face, and also losing consciousness in the bathroom only to find out someone beat you up in my company's proximity," Chloe read and sighed already getting tired of Zach constant nagging, "I said it was just a disagreement… stop butting in my life please," Chloe said again tired, all she just wanted was to eat and go have a good rest for the next day. But now she thinks it can't happen."Are you now telling me nothing wrong?" Zach asked again."Yeah.." Chloe replied with an eye roll."What if Anna didn't notice something was wrong? What if something bad happened to you while being in the shower for more than 24 hours?" Zach stands before her, shoving his tab in her face so she could read it.Chloe sighed and looked up to Zach, "For once can you allow me to praise you before you express your annoying way?" Chloe scrutinizes."Chloe? I need to know what is
"My boss detests when the press invades his or his employees' privacy, so it would be better for you all to leave now!" Daryl told them, knowing he now got their full attention."Is it true… she…" the lady who was about to ask a question kept shut when Zach raised his tab to them."One more word from you all, I promise you are going to hear from me…" They all scooted back at once, they knew what Zach Lucas was capable of, and they couldn't go against his orders. Like a bolt of flash, they were all running out of Zach's building, when Zach made a sign for them to disperse. Carrie was shocked to see how Zach disassembled them."Miss... What are you still doing despite the boss's warning?" Daryl asked Carrie who was still standing lost."Chloe they are now gone…," Carrie says, as she walked toward Chloe and tried to pull her up, she looked toward Daryl giving a quirky smile. "I am an employee here and she is my friend…" Carrie pointed toward Chloe who was still squatting out of shoc
"Good day, Mr. Wilson. I am Daryl, the one who will help with talking most of the time, and this is Miss Chloe…" he stopped talking when he looked toward Chloe.He glared at her, giving her the look of what the hell she was doing."Come introduce yourself to him," Daryl said with gritted teeth.Zach noticed the way she quivered as she walked toward them, and wondered why "Hi… Sorry… Good day Mr. Wilson," her voice cracked as she said it."Wow, is that all?" The man asked with a slick smile. Then turn to look at Zach."You don't seem to be teaching your employees how to act well in my presence.""I am sorry for not teaching her properly, she just isn't used to the system…." Daryl cut in."You need to introduce yourself fully." He glared at Chloe, who was so lost in her world of anxiety. So he tapped her again to attain her attention."Oh, I am Chloe…" she introduced making them gaped at her stunned."Wow, just Chloe?" "Yeah, just Chloe…" she responded. Mr. Wilson laughs out disconte
Carter quickly released Chloe and shifted back. "Don't you dare say a word to anyone" Carter told Chloe with a destructive look."Understood?" He asked again when he wasn't getting a reply from her. Chloe nodded her head still in a panic, he just touched her without her permission and isn't showing any sign of remorse. "We will meet again, make sure you keep this safe with you. I will schedule a meeting for us," Carter said and threw a card at Chloe.With this Carter walked out of the washroom leaving Chloe in a state of shock.Chloe fell to the ground and pick the card, as hot tears began rushing out of her eyes, she felt used and stupid."How could I let my guard down? I am always the babble mouth… I don't let people walk over me." Chloe kept whispering as she cried her heart out.Still crying she felt a heavy step stride toward her, so she quickly hid the card in her purse, so she wouldn't let him see it. She refused to look up when she perceived the scent. It belonged to none ot
"I think it will be better if we do it on Saturday night." Carrie chips in while Chloe just smiles listening to them as she reminisces how she had become friends with these two.It's been over two months since she worked as Zach's PA and became friends with Carrie and Sarah. She had pushed them away several times but they still didn't listen. She finally began moving with them when she saw how nice they were.Right now they were in the cafeteria during their lunch period planning how to have a sleepover. Chloe had rejected the moment they said but Carrie was able to convince her after much persuasion.Chloe had planned the way to ask for Zach's permission but he was being a douchebag to her at the moment. So she decided not to ask anymore.Sometimes he acts nice while sometimes he gets mad at her. Her life has been going smoothly for the past two months, sometimes her dad calls to hear about her fairing, and surprisingly she doesn't act bratty to him.The first time he called her she
She whipped her head up to be sure she just heard the voice of the person who greeted her. She sprang off her feet seeing the person standing before her."Wha… what.. are you doing here and why?" she couldn't even form a coherent sentence."I am here to meet with your boss, ring me in and stop acting stupidly." Carter rumbled out in annoyance."I am sorry." One could see how her hands shook terribly, she feared what this man before her could do to her in a second."Daryl, Mr. Wilson is here to see the boss, I don't know if he will be allowed to go..." The phone was snatched from her hands instantly.“I want to see that son of a gun right now!” he growled into the phone, Chloe pondered on why he acted this way. If he was to be someone else she would yank the phone back from him but she is terrified of the man before her.“I am giving him a minute to be right here or I will make sure he regrets this stupid decision he took.” Now averting his gaze back to Chloe who didn't know she was
“Chloe, is there anything wrong?” the duo asked, seeing how their friend just kept stabbing her fork into her food and didn't seem to be in the right state.“I get it that you are always quiet but this is weird of you,” Carrie let out, and then Chloe sighed.“I won't be available for your girls’ night,” they both turned silent for a few seconds.“Are you both mad at me?” she solicited but they didn’t say anything at first until Sarah broke it.“Why? We were ready for this,” “Why are you suddenly changing your mind?” Carried asked her and she sighed out loudly.“The stupid boss of mine thinks this is the right time to travel with him for his stupid whatever I could care less about” Chloe screamed.They both clasped their hands on her lips looking around to see if there was any trace of their boss “I get that you are powerful and might be able to land another job, but please don't get us in trouble.” “Hi,” A guy in a blue two-piece suit with his hair in a buzz cut came offering a ch
Chloe pouted her lips and threw her phone on the bed in annoyance.Today hasn't been going well for her like she had thought it would, she has been trying to call Zach but his call keeps going to voicemail.Still, in her state of anger, she heard her baby’s cackle. She had just finished dressing her up and wanted her to have a little sleep.She moved closer to her crib and sat beside it, swinging it gently so she would sleep.“This is not fair,” she mumbled, as her baby stared into her eyes.“Mama,” Little Freya let out a beautiful smile that immediately captured the mother’s heart.“My little princess, you are the one who loves me.” she asserted and picked up Freya from her crib.Freya crackled happily as her mum brought her closer so she could nurse her.“I can't wait for you to have a full conversation with me,” Chloe complained while her baby played with her hair.“I can't reach your dad, he promised never to be on a business trip during my birthday but now..” Chloe sighed and dro
FEW MONTHS LATERThe Three elegant and beautiful friends could be seen seated, while one is facing the dressing mirror in her wedding gown.The other two were on the bed taunting one another.“Just give up, you want to eat this,” Carrie taunted, shoving the doughnut she was eating in front of her face.Chloe's eyes followed every movement swallowing hard. “Hey! Stop it!” Sarah cautioned Carrie who felt it was interesting to play with her pregnant friend since she finds it amusing.“I am reporting you to my husband,” Chloe almost cried but Carrie teased her more, still finding her crying self amusing.“Carrie!” Sarah yelled in frustration while the ladies who were in charge of her makeup almost broke into wild laughter watching Sarah act like a mother to both girls.“What!”“That's not fair you know, I am going to be fat, if keep eating this! I need to fit into my chief bridesmaid's dress,” Chloe whined.“That's what you get being chief bridesmaid despite being pregnant,” Carrie let o
“Zach… how are you still? I can explain.” Julian tried explaining but Zach scoffed.“I trusted you so much and even gave you enough time to change. He was so disappointed in his grandfather. “I am doing all these for you." Julian tried defending himself.“Enough gramps! Enough please! I told you to do what I wanted, not what you wish!" The anger in his eyes is so familiar.“Zach, don't you like being powerful? Don't you want to be respected.."“Granddad! Enough give up already,"Julian shook his head continuously as he moved backward. “Never! I am not giving up… I built this with my blood! Do what I want or..” Miles kicked him right on his wrist making him groan in pain as he fell to the ground.Aiden and Zach shut their eyes, not able to watch their grandfather in pain."You can manipulate his heart because you took care of him, but not me, I long disregarded you as my father.” “Zach… listen to me if you don't want to regret your decision, your wife…” Zach scoffed bitterly as hi
MCHM 149“Boss, what is your next plan? Are you trying to tell the world?” Julian walked into his car not answering his assistant.“He caught on faster and that bastard, I don't trust him being my son,” he announced.His assistant stared at him, baffled at how he was still going with his plan.“Take me to that bitch! And send all the remaining girls to Italy till the matter dies down.” He bowed and was about to get into the car when he stopped him.“I have somewhere important to go,” not having any choice, his assistant bowed and just left for the other car and drove off.Just then someone slipped into his car, “Get them all killed, aside from Mike, they know too much.” “Consider it done,” the man answered and he smirked this has been a legacy he protected at the cost of his life.They can't just go down the drain that way, he has killed a lot of people and destroyed their lives to get to where he is currently.One thing he can't bear to hold is spoiling the title, Lucas, it's a name
“I need to see him please, don't stop me.” Chloe fell to the ground, her whole body trembling, as she recalled his last words.“No, I am sorry, you can't leave me.” Chloe cried, no matter how Sarah tried helping her up and reminding her of her condition she didn't listen.“Mr…. According to the rules you can't go in, he is a very close family of yours,” Mike was held down by some of the doctors.“Dr. Mike his life is in danger, we can't risk any more mistakes,” With this the doctor shut the door of the room preventing anyone else from going inside.Chloe sat on the floor looking dejected, fear gripped her as her thoughts ran through different events.“He asks me to trust him, he never, for once gets mad at her. Why couldn't I just let it go and trust him?” she cried out.Now she is on the verge of losing him because of the crazy painful words she had thrown at him.She couldn’t bear to lose him, he had been her support, and she depended mostly on him.He is always there when she need
FLASHBACKThe morning Zach received the news of his mansion getting burnt, he promised to take care of it all so his wife didn't get hurt.He drove straight to a mansion that hardly anyone could think about because of its location.But it is Zach, nothing is getting off his eyes.As long as he was ready to check about it he would know, he drove inside the premises breaching the security access.He has every single access to his grandfather's assets, so it wasn't hard for him to know this.The Alarm blaring sound filled the premises the moment his car drove inside.He alighted from the car before any of the guards could come close he gave a thorough warning.“Well… welcome young master,” his dad's secretary greeted but stood in front of the entrance stopping him from going inside.“Why are you here young master?” Zach smirked and pulled out his pistol.“You want me to tell you?” Zach retorted, now playing with the PIStol.“You.. young..” he shut his lips when Zach placed the barrel on
Zach stormed into the mansion looking like a mess. He was on his way back from Heritage when he heard his wife got hurt.He was infuriated, fear clouding him, he felt like destroying everyone present there."How the heck did she lose consciousness?" Zach yelled.The nurse ran up and down trying to find a way to stabilize the lady, she had lost too much blood before they found her.Zach paced around the hospital, if it was another doctor he was sure he could hurt him but he was his best friend.He knows how to handle him more than anyone, "Fuck!" Zach yelled again, still hoping she was doing fine.An hour later Mike walked outside, "How is she?" Mike nodded his head"She is strong, she didn't get hurt that much, just a few pounds of blood lost." "Don't tell her dad about this," Zach warned, Mike nodded his head, at his friend's request."You are the leader," Mike stated and Zach glanced at him in shock, "What are you talking about?""Uncle Carter is dead," Zach scoffed and sat on the
Zach smiled at his sleepy wife, admiring how beautiful and innocent she looked.One could hardly tell that the lady lying beside him is the same lady who would get pissed off at the sight of her.Now he can proudly say he can't live without her, she stretched her arms forward trying to check if he was still asleep and he smiled again.He caught her hand and watched her move closer to him trying to feel his warmth.Her smell, her smile, her gaze he is intoxicated with them all. Feeling her palm on his bare chest and her head on his arm makes him feel so fulfilled.He was still admiring his wife when he heard a heavy knock on the door.He didn't want to wake his sleepy wife up, so he placed her head on the cushion gently so as not to wake her up and also made her hold another cushion to make her comfortable while sleeping.“I will be back soon Love,” he let out and she smiled. He picked up his phone and walked out only to be met with his best friend.“What makes you bang my door that w
Chloe stayed with her dad the whole time not for once leaving him.He has been going through severe pain, despite how hard Mike tried to stabilize him.“Chloe dear, thanks for forgiving me, I am..”“Dad, it's fine. you shouldn't apologize, the one behind my brother's death would apologize.” “Chloe…”“Yeah, I know everything now, I will make sure to make him refer to it.” John held onto his daughter's arms and shook his head.“He is dangerous, you can't afford to get him furious.” This made Chloe smirked.“Really dad? He has caused us so much pain, I can't even go out because everyone thinks I am dead and I need to follow that procedure.” Chloe squinted her gaze seeing how terrified her dad was.“Dad, don't tell me you know the leader,” his eyes widened and he shook his head constantly.“No, I don't… I have never seen him before.” John cut her off, Chloe nodded her head and now caressed her dad's face.“You looked pale dad, you sure the pain has subsided?” John felt sad hearing this f
