“Mr Lucas…” the lady's husband mumbled as sweat trailed down his face.Chloe scoffed at this, “Why the sudden respect?” She solicited, in furry."Yeah, let's take it to court! I want that!” Mason looked up now staring at her sister pleading with her to not do anything.Zach looked down at Mason, seeing that pity and at the same time fear in his eyes he sighed and placed his hands in his pocket."We will do everything to…"“No, expel him or I will make sure you regret not doing that instantly." Chloe glanced down at her brother to see if he also disapproved of this, but luckily he had a little smirk on his face.“Then it's done," the principal quickly agreed, he didn't want to go against Zach.He had never wanted to go against Thomas in the first place because he also had his shares in this school.But offending Zach is another trouble entirely.“What do you mean? He also hurt my son!” Luke's eyes were down knowing if his mum insisted and taking this to court with the powerful man be
Chloe's voice croaked, and then she tapped Zach to let her down as she strutted toward her father.Tears streamed down her face. She only wanted one answer and hoped her father would tell her.“It's a lie right?” Chloe solicited not wanting to believe the truth, but Ava pulled her back now matching her gaze with her.John couldn't even stop his daughter from feeling pain, he was the cause of the destruction his family was going through.“I told you, so I should complete it,” Chloe leered at her dead in the eye, but this wasn't terrifying her.She might not spend the night in the Thomas mansion tonight, she doesn't care.As long as she could reach her goal, “He loves you too much, and couldn't bear to see you in pain.” Chloe screamed leaving all of them in shock, and then Chloe let out a dirty smirk.“Go straight to the fucking point!'' She didn't like the way Ava kept beating around the bush.“Yeah your dad cheated on your lovely mum for me, but he never told me he had a wife and thr
PRESENT“Your mum kept having the feeling that she failed you,” then a bitter sigh left John’s lip.“She took her life right in front of you, hoping it would pay for your sister’s death,” Chloe was too weak to stand so she leaned on Zach.His eyes shut he held onto her tightly, “It brought another trauma to you, an…. You thought everyone was doing it because of you.”John stared at his daughter, his frail self couldn't bear the pain his daughter was going through knowing he was the sole cause of her pain.“It affected you so much that you went into a panic attack for days,” He shut his eyes once more, recalling those days he thought he would lose his daughter just like he had lost the two important people in his life.“Until one day you got admitted after complaining about a migraine, the reason why you stopped drinking coffee or alcohol.”“We didn't know what had transpired at school, but you suddenly lost your memory.”He stared at his daughter who no longer had a certain expressi
“Let's sleep here together,” Zach let tap the bed, though she was in his room she didn't plan on sleeping in his room until now he said.They just completed their dinner, which Zach fed his wife happily.It was the first time Zach had some deep conversations with her, and she was satisfied with it.A bit happy by the way her husband cares so much for her, worriedness increases now and then in fright.Still confused about what had just transpired minutes ago, not saying a word she lay on the bed like he had said.So quiet and at the same time enjoying her peace with her husband, sleep took over, and was taken to the land of slumber.Zach noticed his wife slept off already, so he adjusted her well on the bed so she didn't have any aches when she woke up.In the process he kept admiring her beauty, he didn't know when a smile escaped his lips but for some weird reason, the smile didn't last long when some feelings stared up at him.The next day Zach woke his wife up for breakfast on the
TWO WEEKS LATERChloe sat in front of the girls having a girl's night, more like having their reason for choosing it as that.The whole living room was a mess, Sarah could be seen in front of her system and racking through her brain as her finger tapped effortlessly on the keyboard.While Carrie kept writing down the IP address, she couldn't digest it even though she was sleepy.Chloe on the other hand in her lost thought, “Got it!" Sarah yelled, jumping up which startled the weary and sleepy Carrie.But one person wasn’t with them, Chloe. They moved closer to her calling her name severally.Only when they tapped Chloe did she get back her senses, “Chloe? Is there any problem?" Chloe shook her head.“You can't fool us!" Carrie chimed in looking angry, her sleepy face long gone.She hates how Chloe keeps the burden to herself in the name of her not wanting to bother them.“Boss asked us to protect and take care of you. If you keep being sad and fall sick, what do you want us to tell hi
“Nothing," Chloe jumped in with a smile, but he wasn't having a happy smile on.“Why do I feel like I just jumped into an important conversation?” his eyes darting from his wife to Mike.“Nothing, just having a friendly talk,” her voice cracked as she lay in between.Although he didn't believe her, he was more worried about her not picking up his call for a while.Leaving him to be worried and confused, he had left his work hanging because he couldn't talk to his wife.“Your phone?" He solicited his eyes tracing all over the living room wondering what the heck was going on before his arrival.“I was busy…” Chloe lied, silent for a while he sighed."Don't get me worried next time please,” he strutted toward her, and before she could understand his plight he pulled her in for an embrace. Her gaze met with the trio, she could tell they were not happy with the decision she was about to take but couldn't say anything because of the promise and also wouldn't want him to be mad.“Let's leav
“Take your phones off!” A deep voice grumbled and now pulled Chloe up.Not without another word they walked out of the building and into their car with the help of their guards.“Take care of them all, Once her video goes out I will make sure to destroy you all.” He warned the guards as he shut his wife's door.He drove out of the building sadly, he had thought he would make the night a bit special for his wife but now it’s all ruined.“Is he your son?” Chloe asked after the long silence, she had thought of not getting bothered about it but she still couldn't “I need to get a DNA test done before accepting it,” he answered, staring at his wife.“Concentrate,” she caught him off his lost stare, he smirked a bit and continued driving.“I am so mad at you,” Chloe let out a bit of the burden in her chest, and she began hitting his shoulder.Zach didn’t let this get to him until he stopped, noticing his wife might get them in an accident if he didn't stop.“Love, I am sorry.” He whispered
He pulled up in the driveway and shut his eyes with a deep breath. Every fucking place he took her for the day ended up in a mess.He had thought of taking her to a restaurant, but she was in no mood to go anywhere. Chloe is astonished by the way her husband has made her feel so important and at the same time still not telling him about his pregnancy.She thought it would be best to just take care of this and make them start their relationship afresh.“Stay in the car, I will help you out myself,” she smiled, seeing how worried Zach was.He had been asking her continuously if she was doing fine.It was also the first time she felt nauseous since she got pregnant.She had always watched how it goes from one person, she never knew it would be happening to her soon.The worst part is she does not know how to tell the one responsible for it.He opened the door and lifted her before she could have thought of alighting from the car, hoping this continued and they understood one another.Th
