Chloe's glared gaze was fixed on the lady she had been losing to even before her arrival.Seeing her suddenly appear and embrace her husband like no man's business.She sniffed and wiped her tears, why did she lose what was hers to someone so easily?She darted at Zach expecting him to disengage from the embrace but all he just did was stand there lost in his trance.“I miss you so much," Shawn reiterated, tightening the embrace. As if he got back his senses he pulled her away.“What are you doing here?" His hand holding both of her arms in a daze, Chloe pulled off his coat and threw it at him.This got Shawn’s attention, “oh, didn't see you there for some seconds." The sarcastic tone was evident.Chloe scoffed, she shot a gaze at him again expecting to get reminded he was pleading with her a few seconds ago.“Who is she, Chris?" Shawn solicited staring at him, and he sighed.“She is my wife." Chloe's heart leaped a bit at this, he introduced her to his Ex, does this mean she has a ch
“Chloe, enough of the tears, he doesn't deserve them… if he feels his Ex is the best then he should go to her.” Carrie chimed in, wiping Chloe's tears continuously."My heart won't let go… it hurts Carrie it does." Sarah, who has been standing by the door, lets out a sigh and moves closer to them.“Why the heck are you this sad? He never told you that he doesn't care about you,” Carrie glared at Sarah, seething her teeth for Sarah to mind her words.But Satah being herself continued, “He only embraced her, I heard she cheated on him. No man will want to go back to a cheating lady.”Chloe shook her head, “You won't get it," she cried out again, her hand on her torso as she struggled to breathe.“He never judges me, he understands me, my heart also can't let go of him like it did with that of Aiden."“I.. I.." it was too hard for her to say, how could explain to them that the night she had thought would be blissful finally turned into one of the worst nightmares?“Enough of all this, yo
The three girls alighted from their car in the hope of going inside the office to have a good day.There were no longer press hovering around the company since she hasn’t been there in a while.Eyes were on her as she walked inside the building, murmuring around while Chloe looked down with the mindset that nothing would make her feel badShe walked inside with her head high, going to her space.It's been a while since she has been there and she was sure the employees' views about her wouldn’t be the same as before.“Darling fighting,” Carrie raised her hands in a gesture she just tightened her fist.Chloe smiled at this as they also left for their space, her office was cleaned like she always comes here every day.She knocked on Zach's office where they thought meeting Daryl, and as she had thought he was there in his seat just with his computer.“Good morning,” Chloe greeted this made Daryl look up from his computer.“Good morning, never expecting you to be here this morning,” Dary
It's been more than hours and Chloe still isn't seeing anyone coming so she decided to bang on the cell door!One of the detectives strolled toward her cell, “What is the problem lady?” he asked, irritated with her behavior.“Why is no one coming? I gave you a number to contact,” she yelled, the cop stood and shook his head ruffling his hair and controlling himself not to flip up at her.“I had a contact with the details of the person you gave to me, the lady said they will be here anytime soon,” He told Chloe.Chloe was dumbfounded by this news that she thought she had heard wrongly.“You mean, a lady picked up my husband's phone?” The cops went speechless at her question.He has been through this series of issues before, his mouth should have been shut.“Well, your husband has been called that all that matters,” he told her, “You will be transferred in for questioning,” he told Chloe.“I am saying nothing until I see either my dad or husband here,” the cops smiled and moved closer t
They finally got to Zach's mansion, Chloe was about to get out of the car but Zach locked the door.“Let's talk," this is the only time he feels he can get her to spew out what exactly the problem is, she has been mad at him for two days now.Despite his trying to figure out what the problem is, he still can't find any.“What is your problem?" She asked, irritated. “Why do you look so mad?” with a dirty smile playing on her lips, she sat back right now glaring at him.“So you don't know what the problem is? Like you can't try to rack your memory to do so?" She folded her hands on her chest, while Zach could only look so lost at this.“I… am confused, if you think I can't recall then tell me, let me know about it..” “Why were you with her today?" Chloe solicited, that has been on her mind.Even if she is trying to understand that he loves her more, she is still mad he chose to hang out with her knowing they are couples.“Some situation brought us together," Zach answered truthfully b
Zach pranced to the door opening for her to come inside, while Hannah proceeded back to her position. She can't express how much she abhorred this lady for causing damage to her boss.She couldn't believe the time Zach decided to live the life he deserved, now she thought of coming back and making Chloe's apprehension come to the past.“Good evening Chris,” She used a very tiny cute voice, at the same time tucking her fallen hair behind her ear, just the way Zach did when they were still together.All this while, Chloe was aggravated, they had dropped her off at her destination then why the heck is she here again?“Why are you here by this time Shawn?” Chloe did not suppress the resentment in her.Shawn shoves her hands into her bag and brings out a file which caught Zach's attention instantly.“Well you forgot this with me, so I thought of coming to give it to you,” she waved it in front of Zach “It looks like a very important document,'' Zach's eyes widened, and retrieved it from
Chloe cried all through her journey, and seeing the light turn red she stopped. Holding her heart, she felt so devastated.The thought of how stupid she was for giving herself to him when he cared not a bit for her.She was so lost in her thoughts until a blaring horn revived her back, to start moving since the traffic light had turned green for a while now.“If you can't fucking drive then get the out of the damn road!” The voice yelled at her when she tried to apologize.Tears trickled down her face but she decided to concentrate so something of the sort would repeat itself.Finally, after a few minutes of driving she got home, the gate opened as she drove inside.Mason rushed out seeing the car that had just driven in, pondering on who it was, only to see his sister.He rushed into her arms knowing he would get the cold treatment but still tried his luck.His parents haven’t been on good terms after that night and there hasn’t been a happy day between them all. Ashley on the other
“Chloe, what are you doing here?” Her dad rushed to her, about touching her but she jolted out of her rivalry.“I heard wrongly! I was never here,” she mumbled under her breath, clasping her hands on her mouth, her body trembling in disbelief.She has a lot for the day, so why this sudden trouble? She only came here to have fresh air and not get choked up with news she doesn't ever in her world thought would be coming to pass.“Chloe you didn't hear this conversation please,” John pleaded, but Chloe pushed him away still in disbelief.A sudden headache hit her once more, the same one that had disturbed her when she first saw Shawn's picture.“The sound,” she whispered, the color in John's face drained, “Stop,” she kept whispering and fell to the ground.Ava and John rushed to her, John tried covering her ears, but she kept groaning.“Ahh! It hurts somebody please stop it,” she kept whispering, she shook her head and the sound suddenly stopped.She stopped whispering, John's hand still
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
