Chloe kept scrolling through her phone, feeling guilty about not listening to what the lady told her.“Chloe, we get that you tried to help her so stop beating yourself for it.” Lesley tried persuading her to rant.Chloe shook her head still pacing around, with her phone in her hands. “This isn't just a natural death, she was killed, she told me not to take her to the hospital.” Chloe proclaimed and dialed Zach's contact but it was directed straight to voicemail.She was terrified, recalling what Chris and Zach had said.If this isn't a simple death, it only means one thing, they will be coming after her too.“I will stay with you today, I am not sure.. my..” She stopped midway almost spilling the truth about her husband.“You have no problem staying with us, we can use the opportunity to go through the chip, remember?” Sarah chimed in, hoping she would stop thinking about the sudden death.Sarah had gone through all these phases so she needed to protect her friends now.She might
“Boss we have an issue!” Daryl rushed into the meeting room not minding that we were in a meeting room.The men inside were more than pissed with this attitude.This is a meeting consisting of Zach with some other presidents, men from royalty, and some other top rich men all over the world.They were in discussion with his new product that was about to be launched.“If I were you I would get him fired,” The president announced, ready to harm Daryl.“It better be a good one,” Zach made a sign, Daryl nodded his head and showed him his tab.“Lady Lovell, the only daughter of Wyonmg, is dead.” Zach read this over and over again.Everyone present in the meeting had their phones turned off so they couldn’t get the message on time.Zach glanced at Wyoming, he must have come to the meeting thinking she was well protected.The other men were grunting in anger that Zach didn’t mind their presence and still did what he wanted.Even though he is said to be a mute no one dares trespass. He has th
The three girls could be seen lying on the bed, Chloe in the middle as they all stare up at the ceiling.Each one of them drowns in their thoughts. Chloe still couldn't get over the fact that Aiden was into bad things.She thought he was the perfect man she could ask for. Her dad's life is in danger now? She has a document with her that could destroy Zach all of a sudden.“I guess none of you can sleep?” Carrie was the first to break the silence.“I still can't help but keep pondering on what could have happened to us if Sarah never had a secret room?”They all sighed at this and Chloe's mind went back to the lady.“I still can't help but think if I had listened to what that lady had said, maybe she would still be alive.” Both girls moved close to her embracing her, “We all together to find out the people behind her death!” Carrie said with much determination. “Don’t tell me that we shouldn't bulge into it, we can also do what men can do,” Carrie cut Sarah off.“It's hard… the lead
Chloe pushed Zach away in shock, hearing him whisper to her.He stared at her weirdly, she touched her ear dramatically like she was hearing weirdly."Did you just whisper?" He smirks and walks away leaving Chloe in her stunned expression.She was sure she heard him whisper behind her ears.But since he didn't clarify her thoughts she had no choice but to be left in a state of confusion."Who are you staring at?" Chloe jumped in fright at the way Sarah had scared her."Hey! Never knew you get scared so easily." Sarah let out."You don't expect me to know you would be coming out asking.." Chloe made a face and pushed her face forward like Sarah had done."What are you staring at?" Sarah smiled and decided to go take a glass of water."Never take you to be the type who gets up early?" Chloe snorted."Let's go get ready," They said going inside Chloe's room to get ready while Zach just stared at them from up the stairs.He couldn't believe he couldn't control himself beside her anymore.
Zach has been calling Chloe for a while now, but she wasn't picking up.This was getting him so worried badly, after a few more tries someone picked up her call but the voice he was expecting wasn't what he got."Save your girl and sign that contract, or take your girl's lifeless body." Zach flew up his chair hearing this."Who are you?" He growled, not minding he was using his voice.Just on cue, Daryl came in with a gift box in his hands.He just completed his meeting and thought of calling her before leaving only to receive this."The contract should be with you now," the caller said.He looked up at Daryl to see him trying to find out what was in the gift box.He gestured for Daryl to open the box."Touch a strand on her, not only will I destroy you I will kill you." Zach barked into the phone.The caller burst out laughing, "Do it!" The caller instructed and just then Zach heard the painful groan coming from his wife."You should recognize your wife's voice, so do the needful and
In the hospital ward, the three girls could be seen chatting and laughing.“Thank goodness the boss gave us two days off.” Carrie squealed with a smile brightly on her face.“I want to go to her funeral, it's today, I need to pay her the last respect.” Chloe blurted out in the middle of their conversation.The girls exchanged glances and agreed with her. They also thought it was a nice idea."But we can't go there looking like this," Carrie announced, pointing to her dress. "That isn't hard," Chloe said, picking up her phone and ordering the necessities they would need."That has been sorted out," Chloe said waving her phone in front of them."One more reason why I want to be rich," Carrie let out and they both shook their heads at her."Never have I thought of taking my bath in a hospital bathroom when I am not even the patient." Sarah let out as they looked very nice now in their black gowns, Chloe had ordered for them."Hey we are doing it for her you know," Chloe argued and Sar
Chloe raced back to her friends; she couldn't believe it.Zach was Chris, this was the reason why Chris appeared when she called Zach to save her.It explains why he had refused to say anything about himself anytime they met.Their strange occurrence kept replaying in her mind.Her heart pounds with intensity, as she stands close to her friends."Chloe," Her friends snapped out of her long-lost thoughts."Let's go." She proclaimed racing fast to her car.They didn't question her and just went along with the plot, relaxing she must be furious.She felt too stupid, she was becoming clingy again without realizing itShe was thankful to Aiden for waking her back to reality.Zach didn't want them to conceal the truth from themselves yet he lied to her from the onset.When they got to the parking lot, they met two guards waiting for them already."What are you?" Chloe croaked out hoping not to get her mood more ruined."Boss asked us to protect you, and never heed to your demand." They resp
"Ahh!" Nora screamed watching as Zach strutted out of her presence not for once looking backShe dialed the familiar contact furry boiling inside of her. "You bastards! What the fuck are you still waiting for? Take that bitch off!" She yelled no longer containing her anger."Boss! We are doing our job! But he is protecting her!" the voice replied."Have you obtained the fucking evidence?" She asked again and he couldn't give a response."I am giving you three fucking days to get that done! Else you know what is in for you!""It will be done, boss!" "Get off my fucking phone!' she yelled storming back inside.She recalled the file she had made Zach sign. She made those guys threaten Chloe but it wasn't the same guys she had sent to kill her.So they let her free, She knew Zach wasn't a man you mess with.He has a high IQ and can guess things too quickly, but she never knew he would know she was behind the guys that attacked her last night."Sweetheart! What would you like tonight?" No
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
