Natalia paced around the quiet road waiting for the person who had contacted her and having information about Zach.She dialed the contact continuously hoping he would be here soon.The road was so quiet and anything dangerous could arise but she needed to learn more of Zach's weaknesses.He might not take action on time but she is terrified of what he can do when he does.Just then she saw a car flashing its headlight at her, she rushed there in irritation knocking on the window.It slid down and she coughed, with the amount of smoke coming out from the car.She stares at him trying to recall if she knows him, but he doesn't seem familiar. He has a patch on one of his left eyes, and his face is filled with beards. He is putting on a blue leather jacket and face cap.“Why did you make me wait here for so long?” Natalia asked in annoyance, ignoring the man's way of life.“Miss I have the key to your success, you don't have to control me.” the man's deep, rough voice croaked out.“Whe
As they stride inside the mansion, Chloe stops walking and glares at Zach. They just got home from the party, and Chloe thought it was time for him to explain what he had done.“You have a lot to say to me, from you choking me to lying about the stupid party when you know I didn’t want to attend it.”Zach stood speechless, didn't even know what to say, and didn’t want to piss her off.“I asked a question, Zach,” she repeated but still got ignored.They both stood there in silence, for some minutes.When Chloe saw he wasn’t ready to speak she turned back to her room, but Zach grasped her hands stopping her from leaving.“It's been a long time since you 've seen them so I thought you might want to..”“I hate you when I first came here.. but I began to like your ways after a few months with you, I can tolerate you more than I can tolerate them…. so don’t ever repeat that.” Zach nodded his head, and she clicked her tongue before leaving.He exhaled in relief when she slammed her door, h
Zach got home really late, he had thought of cooling by doubling his work for the day.He met Hannah sitting in the living room waiting for him like always, this made him kind of guilty.He knew she never went to sleep anytime he came home late."Welcome back young master," She welcomed lightly, while Zach nodded looking at Chloe's room."Oh, she came home white early today and hasn't come out of her room." Zach gave a nod, the thought of her still going to meet Aiden down in the parking lot never left his mind.He was so angry at the thought of it, "Young master, my little girl gave birth so I want to ask for a leave." He turned quickly at this with a bit of excitement in his eyes."You can have all the time you need," His phone read with a smiling emoji but there was no smile on her face."You guys should sort whatever issue you have out, I am so worried about leaving the both of you alone. Even though you are both grown-ups," Zach smirked and nodded then he left.Again none of the
Zach has been trying to make Chloe stop crying for more than an hour now.He couldn't even tell if she was crying from the first-degree burn which wasn't even that much or maybe she had other reasons for crying.He could only sit there with her crying, he checked her temperature to see it was increasing still she thought it would be nice for him to just sit there with her and let her. “Why did you force me to take that bitter soup? Now my whole mouth is sour.”Zach checked the time to see it was 9 pm already, he had only come home early today so he would be able to talk not knowing she would be this sick and bratty.He texted Mike to come over, he could no longer handle her and the temperature wasn't reducing either.Maybe if we weren't crying there would be a difference, “Mike, who just got into the car on his way home, saw this.He called his friend to ask how she was doing but Zach couldn't speak, he had slipped twice, and thank goodness she didn't catch on.He texted him to come
Chloe fluttered her eyes open and felt the pain in her body reduced, her head wasn't burning that much like it did before she went to sleep.She recalled what had happened the previous night, and was about to sit when she felt a presence beside her on the bed.She looked down to her right to see Zach staring at her, this got her startled she let out a piercing scream.“You scared the shit out of me!” she exclaims throwing the pillow at him, while he just smiles and taps his tab.“Good morning to you too,” Chloe gasped and touched her body, like she was trying to check for something, there she saw the duvet he had used to cover her small body.“Why are you in my room!?” she solicited with a scowl on her face.“You can now scream and seem to be strong enough, I can tell you are now doing okay,” Chloe then snorted and brought out her burnt wrist, which had been dressed well by Zach.“And what about this?” she asked, shoving it in front of him, “I wasn't the cause, you wouldn't stay still
In a room with a wall draped in a rich deep shade of burgundy, exuding authority.The furniture is lavish, with plush leather chairs and polished mahogany tables.Its space demands attention and sets the stage for important discussion.All the most powerful men in the city could be seen all fitted, with just two spaces left to be taken over.They sat opposite each other, while the one at the head could be seen to be more expensive and well-modeled than the one facing it.A man in his late 30's walked in, "The Minister is here," he announced as the door opened widely.He gestured for Brooke to walk in, as the remaining men who were once seated all stood on their feet to show their courtesy.He looked over to the empty seat, and a smirk escaped his lip.She thinks so highly of herself, it high time I taught him a lesson" He thought as he was escorted to his seat."Welcome.." he stopped them all and gestured for them to be on their seats.They all shook their heads and sat down, "Mr. Mar
"Get out of my house, else you might regret it!" Zach's phone read.Mike also wasn't having it, he hadn't checked who was at the door through the lock and just opened the door.It was too late for him to close the door, giving the asshole the chance to come in."Chloe I brought some of your favorites, you love eating them when you are sick." Aiden, still maintaining that sly smirk on his face, raised a bag filled with sweet things he had gotten for Chloe.Zach was mad Aiden knew her favorite, Zach only wanted it to be him who knew her favorite. No one else, but him.Chloe was nervous and she could tell how disappointed Zach felt in her."Let's talk in private somewhere?" Chloe said running forward and trying to pull him out but Mike held her hands."If you don't want to get on his bad side, don't go with Aiden," Mike was damn serious, the playful guy who found nothing serious was no longer cheerful, his eyes already turned cold just like that of Zach.She doesn't want to go, now that s
Chloe sat with the file in her hands now reading the clauses in it, she couldn’t help but be more confused. The individual who wants this deal signed should talk about the product but it wasn’t.Zach had signed the document like he promised and handed it over to her this morning, now it was her turn to hand it over to Aiden but for some weird reason, she didn’t want to.It only talks about how to control Zach, she wouldn't hand it over easily to him.She wanted to see the reason why he wanted this deal, so she was going to keep lying about it.She smirked and kept the file in her cabinet, “I am going to find out what it's all this about,” she said to herself.Zach had lost a billion dollars worth of deal all because she didn’t take care of her property that well, now making him sign a deal he didn't even read seems ungrateful.She checked her reflection in the mirror,Looking stylish as always she is dressed in a classy office outfit. She's wearing a sleek, tailored dress in a beaut
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
