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
“When are you coming out of the room? It’s almost dinner time.”“Are you mad at me for some reason?”He has been clearing his message looking for suitable words to send to her. She has been locked up in her room the whole day today and refused to come out. “Despite him knocking several times she didn’t even give a response. He is now used to this when she gets mad, running into her room and locking it.He was still pacing around thinking of what to do when Mike walked inside, startling him.“Dude! You don’t just come into my house that way,” Zach growled but Mike scoffed.“You should be grateful I am here to help out,” Zach snickered.“More like to make it worse, don’t you dare butt in,” Zach warned and he raised his hands in surrender.The door opened again and some men walked inside with some boxes, walking straight to the kitchen.“He could only stand the confusion, he was about to call them out when Mike held his hand.“I already told them to avoid the grumpy duck they meet insi
Nora could only half at the girl in front of her speechless, she hadn't taken Chloe to be the one who never backed down easily.When she had first seen her she was so calm and almost in tears. So she had taken her for the innocent weak girl Zach always goes for.Chloe had also learned about her crush on Zach. Not only was she surprised by Chloe's behavior but she was surprised Zach likes her.The doorbell rang and that cut off their glares.“Enough with the competition of glares, Grandpa is around so I believe we can all be on our best behavior,” Mike announced as went to open the door.“Well, he hates people with sassy mouths, I believe you will find a way to caution your little bride,” Aiden told Zach and this earned a chuckle from Mike.“Hope so too,” Mike let out and Zach glared at him.He had told Mike the duo clicked at once when Julian had come to his mansion.It was something he never expected, seeing the way the couple are ignorant about this made him laugh.They opened the d
"Chloe… I… have my reasons."Zach tried going close to her but she stopped him."Don't you dare," she warned and fled out of the kitchen.Julian and the rest were about to come into the kitchen after hearing the ruckus when she ran out leaving them confused."What? Why.." Julian tried to say but Chloe ignored them and ran past him.He walked inside to see bloody Aiden on the ground, "oh my Aiden!" Natalia called in fear, running to her son to help him up.He was too weak to let out a word but could take his seat."Zach! Tell me what the heck you did to him?" Zach scoffed at this and moved closer to them."You wanna know what your son did?" His hatred was so visible, that he felt like strangling them both.He had been thinking of a way to tell her about his identity but here they both ruined it for him already."What are you trying to say? Ahh, say it already, and stop beating around the bush about the reason you hurt your brother.""He bursted out laughing, "He… forced himself on my wi
“Chloe stop,” Zach pushed her away, surprised at how she pulled him in for a kiss.She made a funny face and then glanced over to his room, giggling crazily as she ran toward his room door.Chloe, you are fucking drunk, I can't let you in my room. He had never seen her drink before. He is still trying to digest the situation."Where the heck did you get the drink you.." Chloe placed her I dec finger on her lips pushing him inside.His room light was off so everywhere was dark."Why is your room dark?" She asked, still giggling as she looked around.But Zach couldn't tell since he couldn't see, he turned it on and he almost screamed in shock as she was removing her dress."I am feeling hot," she lets out peeling off her top, and now left in her just bra.Zach turned back in shock, "Chloe put on your top," he let out his heart racing fast."Why? You like Nora's body best?" Zach refused to look back so Chloe sauntered toward him now standing before him.Zach swung around not wanting to s
Chloe rolled on the bed, her hand on her head as she groaned in pain. She rises from the bed still with hands on her head from the hangover. But something caught her attention, her duvet wasn't yellow, and her eyes were as she looked around the room trying to understand where she was.She touched her body and couldn’t find a cloth on, and with fear, she raised her duvet and dropped it back.“Wh.. what the heck happened?” She couldn’t help but ask, her head was aching so badly.She tried to recall what had happened the previous night but she couldn't.She tried screaming but the pain hit her so hard, that she could not even voice out, her body shaking terribly. These terrible memories began ringing in her head.Just then Zach walked in with a bowl of soup, “Good morning,” he greeted a bit excited and also some sort of nervousness in him.She didn’t give a reply and a glare on her face.“You must be suffering from a hangover,” he proclaimed and stretched some medicines to her.She scof
“It's a joke, right? I just talked to him a few minutes ago, and he..” Chloe fell to the ground in shock, her breathing was becoming hard.“I killed him, he was just at home, he must have been in the garden when I called him. He loves..” tears trickled down her face.“Chloe you never killed him, it's just a circumstance.”“No! No!” she screamed out, she held her head.“It’s a dream, right? Tell me it’s my imagination, you are talking now you haven’t talked before, so this should be my imagination,” Zach could only pull her into a tight embrace.“Let's go! I want to see him.” Zach without a word lifted her, not bothering to call for his chauffeur, he got into the car and drove out of their mansion.Chloe’s phone rings again, she doesn't want to pick up until she sees who the caller is.“Dad! He is with you right?”She kept hoping her dad would respond to her with a positive comment.But silence tells her it wasn’t but the truth, as she felt like her whole world crashed down.“Where are
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
