Nora could be seen sitting in front of her TV like no man’s business as she sipped her wine gently.Some of her men walked in, having agitation written on their faces.Nora leered at them wondering what their expression was all about.“Boss, we have a confession.” One of the men announced and this piqued her interest.“Is Chloe dead?" She solicited hoping they would nod but they shook their head.Seeing the fear on their face still not leaving, Nora dropped her wine now curious to know what had made them like that.“Mr. Brooke is dead," Nora squinted her gaze as she bit her lip so tight.“He wasn't supposed to die," she whispered, but then she let out a sigh.“You are not supposed to know I had attacked him how come he died?” Nora clamored and this caused them to exchange some glances among themselves before dropping to their knees."We are so sorry boss but we haven't been the one fulfilling all your wishes,” She raised her eyebrow trying to understand what they were saying."We were
“Fuck! Chloe!” Zach yelled, almost in tears.He was not allowed into the scene of the accident, no matter how he tried.His guards gripped his hand so tight not letting him escape.“Let me go you bastards! You are not doing any fucking shit!” he roared, trying to free himself from their grasp.Mike rushed into the scene and pulled him back landing a resounding slap on his face. “Get yourself together man!” Mike yelled, and everyone in the scene stood still at this.No one dared to move an inch, only his best friend could do that to him without facing any issues.Zach looked down at his friend this time, biting his lip in pain, “I.. I can’t,” he murmured.“She is my life,” he fell to the ground this time, not having the strength to fight anymore.“I fucking told her not to go to any damn place, how did she get hold of your keys?” Mike felt so stupid and guilty for this, he should have asked her where she was going but he was concentrating on Sarah to even say a word and just handed
Zach walked into the hospital, with no single expression.It was dark already and by the time he got back from his meeting, he was told to be in the hospital.The moment he walked into the hospital, a punch welcomed him, Zach looked up to be met with furious Miles.“What the fuck?” Zach growled, pulling off his mask, gasps could be heard around.It was the first time he had peeled off his mask in public.The public has always thought his reason was because he got some mark on his face.“My son is in the hospital bed fighting for his life yet you arrested his fiancee?” Zach looked around annoyed by the amount of gazes on them.Everyone is aware that Miles is his father even though he never for once accepted this man.Zach strutted toward him now whispering behind his ears. “He is only lucky for now because he is in the hospital. If I find out he had a hand in what happened to my wife, I won't think twice before destroying him.” Miles could feel warning in every one of his words, one
FLASHBACK BEFORE THE ACCIDENT“Eyes are watching you, but I will help you for a reason,” Shawn announces, leaving Chloe in a state of confusion.“What reason?”“You will destroy them all for her,” Shawn responded.“Her?”“Yes, for Shawn you will avenge her death,” “I don't understand, you are not dead how come..'' Her words were left hanging, when the Shawn before her pulled off the mask on her face, now displaying the face of someone else entirely.Chloe shifted back in a daze, “What? Why? How?”“Yes, Shawn died a few years ago when she left Zach,” Chloe puffed out an exasperated air, not believing what she saw before her.“Don't joke with me miss, what is the meaning of all these? You are not Shawn? How come?”“Shawn is my sister, and I came back to avenge her death, at first Nora made me believe you are the cause but I found out more truth myself.”Chloe's hands swiftly moved to her tummy as her breath was becoming hard, “How did I miss all these?” “Nora is nothing but a sly bit
They all sat there stunned and disarray while Chloe kept crying profusely about her dad. “What if he dies? What if we don’t get to save him on time?” She was disheartened and baffled.Zach's phone rang and he made a signal for everyone to shut their mouth as he picked up and placed it on speaker. “Well, what do you see about the gift I sent you a few seconds ago?” Zach didn't give a response but clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth.Chloe was about to respond instead when Zach clamped his hands on her lips shaking his head.“You are dead, remember?” Zach reminds her. She stomped her feet and ran from the living room. Zach gestured for Sarah to go after her.“Are you behind the attack on my wife?” The leader chuckled deeply, and Zach felt like he could just go into the phone and punch his gut.“You enjoy playing the games right?” Zach asked.He stopped laughing at this, “Games? You started it?” he let out.“You started it with me, bastard? I will make sure to get you soon.” This ma
They all stared at the laptop and back to Chloe, “Wow, who could believe you had the key to our troubles all these days?”“I didn't… Oh my..” Chloe placed Her hands On her forehead, as she recalled the last moment she had spent with Lovell.She was about to leave When Lovell pulled her back, “Please save me.” she whispered.Chloe tried pushing her but her hands held onto Chloe tightly, and then her hand slipped into the jacket that she wore.“Hey you don’t have to peel off my dress,” Chloe scoffed. Then she pulled back her bloody hand.“Please save me,” she whispered again just then regret hit Chloe.“How could I forget it?” she stomped her head over and over.“I should have noticed she gave something to me,” Chloe grumbled in regret.“We have no time for regret. I need to find a way to clone these videos and also get it to the leader to save your dad.”Chloe played a video before anyone could say anything.The video displayed Natalie and Brooke conversing with themselves.There, som
The whole room is silent for a while, no one knowing the next move to make or even the next step to take.They all just sat there looking lost and confused, the kids already slept off remaining just the four of them.“Zach, what do you think we should do?” Chloe rests her head on her husband so tired from all the tears she has been shedding.“For the first time I am speechless,” Zach affirmed as his hands brushed down his hair.“The leader had done a lot of crazy things in this city, all the officials are under him…” he sighed as his hands ran through his hair.“I should let Granddad know what is going on, he seems to..”“No,” Sarah yelled, making them all shocked, “Why?” They all asked in confusion.“Nothing,” Sarah whispered and then looked down.“I want us to do it alone, I want to avenge the death of my parents.” She stood from her chair exhaling sharply.“I want to be given the chance to do so myself.” They all nodded their heads in understanding.“The threat messages, I need to
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
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?
