Chloe's POVAriana and I had been staying with Ethan for about two weeks now, and it was time for her to go to the hospital for her chemotherapy.Ethan decided not to go to work that day, as he wanted to be there for the whole process that day. I learnt from the doctors that the process could be stressful, discomforting and overwhelming for Ariana, and I felt scared going through the whole thing, but I felt a little bit better with Ethan's presence. Perhaps I needed the support. Bonnie was coming too, and I was even more thankful for that.Ariana and I stayed at the back of the car, and Ethan decided to stay with us, while a driver drove us. I don't know why, but I felt some kind of relief seeing as Ethan was sharing my feelings and fears. Bonnie was usually very supportive, but it was different with Ethan, perhaps because he was her father."Hey, Ari, how are you feeling?" I asked my daughter who had been quiet. She never looked forward to her treatments, and I didn't blame her. She h
Chloe's POVThe next day, Ethan and I settled Ariana's appointments with the doctor, before Ethan went to work. They even said that we could take Ariana home, and I was surprised. I initiatially assumed that we were going to be staying there for the whole period of the treatment, as we mostly stayed there in the hospital that we were, before I came to find Ethan.Ethan assigned a driver to us, and told me that he would take me wherever I wanted to go. I appreciated it, as I didn't come with my car, and I was always wanted Ariana to be comfortable in whatever vehicle she entered. I knew that I was overreacting, but I was only a scared mother.When we got home, Ariana happily came down, wearing the princess dress Bonnie made for her. I had made her change out of it the previous day, so it was still clean."Mommy, has Ethan gone to work?" She then asked me, and I nodded."Yes, but he will be back soon."I thought of teaching her when we get back inside, but I decided to let her rest firs
Ethan's POVI was on my way back home, but my mind was all over the place. I had a rough day. Ashley called and I decided to take her call this time. I expected her to be mad, but she wasn't.This has been the longest I had ignored her. Unlike before where she would show her displeasure, but eventually calm down, there was nothing this time. She even seemed too pleased to hear my voice, and she told me how excited she was for our wedding that was coming. She then reminded me that she would be coming in a week. A fucking week. I didn't realize it was this close already.When Chloe told me to ask her, I didn't. I just didn't want to speak to her. And then there was also the matter of Chloe.She was making me feel so many things. I was still angry at her for keeping Ari away from me. She tried to apologize, but an apology wouldn't bring back the times I missed. She irked me a lot too any time she rejects my offers. I had attempted to give her money in the past days, but she would always
Chloe's POVI was pacing around my room, my heart drumming so loud. What kind of mess was I getting myself into? Why didn't I stop him when he asked me to? I was starting to question my reason and morality. I was never the one to look at or even think of touching someone else's partner. This was all levels of wrong. But I couldn't help myself.The moment he touched me, my womanly parts that had been dormant for years came alive. Everywhere my body connected with his, it felt like he was lighting a fire on its path. I was so fucking defenseless. I wanted him and I wanted him badly.I thought he would come after me when I left the room, but I was glad that he didn't. I needed this space to sought out my messed up mind.After much contemplation, I had a bath and changed into another jean and a simple black t-shirt. I wanted to go see Bonnie.I came out of my room and went to Ethan's. I knocked lightly, not wanting the door to open. I was not ready to face him again."I will be going over
Chloe's POVWhen I got home, I went to check on Ariana. I wanted to give her, her morning bath, but I was surprised she already bathed and changed her clothes. Even her hair was combed. Did the house keeper bath her?She was snuggled up in Bonnie's arms, but she wiggled her way out and she rushed to hug me when she saw me. I giggled, hugging and kissing her. "Good morning, baby.""Did you and Aunty Bonnie have fun last night?"I nodded. "A lot of fun. We played so many games."Her eyes widened dramatically, making me chuckle. "Really?""Of course." She left me and went back to Bonnie, bombarding her with questions, and Bonnie patiently answered her."Who bathed you today, Ari?""It was Ethan." She answered before she continued to talk to Bonnie.Bonnie and I glanced at ourselves, the surprise in our eyes mirroring each other. He did dress her up neatly. The only thing he didn't do right was her hair. He just combed it and left it. I never imagined that he knew how to take care of chil
Ethan's POVWhen I got home, I met Chloe and Ariana studying together. I stood behind the door to watch them for a while, and I didn't realize that I had been smiling.I loved the way Ari's eyes shone and the way she smiles and giggles any time she understood something. Then her face will fall if there was something she was finding difficult. Chloe on the other hand was a wonderful and very patient teacher. She took her time, explaining and breaking everything down for her in the simplest terms. I knew that I could not teach like that.Ari suddenly looked up and saw me. "Ethan is here!" She pointed, getting up. I loved how excited she always got anytime she saw me. She was very fond of me. The only thing that would make it better was if she actually called me 'Dad' instead of my name. But I would take what I was getting for now.As usual, she rushed into my arms and I picked her up."Mommy told me that you gave me a hundred dollars today. I thought it was two dollars."I chuckled, peck
Chloe's POVThe next morning, I went to work after spending some time with my daughter. She was crying when I left, and I felt guilty for leaving her. I knew that Marian would watch her, but she was not used to being away from me. But I needed to work too.The day went well, and I didn't really see Mister Parson for almost the whole day. It was when I was about to go home that I saw him.I was just going out of my office, and I met him coming out of his. Our eyes met, and I shot him a polite smile."Good day, Mister Parson.""Good day, Miss Summers. How was your first day?""It went very well." I answered politely, and he nodded to himself."Are you done for today?" He asked, checking his wrist watch for the time."Yes.""Oh. I forgot you were part time." He smiled, revealing the dimples in his cheeks, and I thought he was cute at that moment. "Did you come with a car?""I boarded a taxi.""Do you mind if I drop you home? I was just about leaving as well. I am done with my work today.
Ethan's POVIt was a Saturday morning, so Chloe and I didn't go to work. Today was the day she had decided to move out. She had rented and paid for that apartment with her money, and I knew that she didn't have much. She was just so fucking stubborn.Last night was the worst I had had in a very long time. I couldn't help the awful feeling in my chest as I thought of the house without her. She had only been here for a month, but it felt like she brought a spark of light with her, and now she was leaving, I could feel the spark dying.I thought she couldn't frustrate me more than she had been doing for the last few days, when she refused to speak to me. She was angry at me, and she wanted nothing to do with me. But even her silence was better than her absence. I felt as if something was being ripped out of me, like something was stolen from me.I went to Ariana's room where she was, hugging our little girl. She had packed her bags and placed them in her car last night, so that Ariana wo
By twilight, our home was already filled and so lively. Bonnie and Myles were here, with Jason and Kyle. Jason stays with them a lot, and Kyle sees him as a big brother. The house was filled with gossips and laughter. My eyes would always travel to Myles, who could not stop clinging to Bonnie. I smiled like a proud mother as I watched the both of them. The first time I met Myles, I just found him scary. There was no light in his eyes, and he didn't seem to have a sense of purpose. At first, I was worried when Bonnie got together with him. I never pinned him for the relationship kind of guy and I wasn't too sure he would treat her right, but right now, I was so happy that he proved me wrong. He loved Bonnie so much and he cannot help himself. My best friend on the other hand, loves him so much as well, and they deserve each other. "What do we do now?" Bonnie finally asked when we ran out of gossips. Well, we didn't. We just wanted to watch our words in the presence of the kids. "A m
Five years laterChloe's POVI rolled over by habit, wanting to wrap my hands around Ethan, but I ended up hugging a tiny person instead. As if that was not frustrating enough, another weight jumped on me, and I opened my eyes."Hi, mommy!" My four year old son, Aiden grinned at me, sounding so excited."We wanted to wake you up, but Daddy and Ari said not to." His twin sister, Audrey, murmured, as if she was still trying not to wake me, but she was literally jumping on me."But I know you want to wake up right? It's Christmas, and we have a lot to do.""It's not Christmas yet. Tomorrow is Christmas." I whined."But it's Christmas Eve." Audrey said, as she bounced on me.I grabbed a pillow and covered my face. I would convince Ethan about having them go stay with their grandparents for a while after now.Ethan and I had always loved the idea of having many kids, but I didn't expect that they would be so rowdy, especially my son that likes clinging to me, just as he was doing right now
Ethan's POVI was seated behind the wheels of my car. Chloe sat beside me on the passengers seat, and Ariana was sitting at the back, with her cat and dog, feeding them her snacks. We were driving her to school for the first time, and she had been so excited to get in."Daddy, can I take Emma and Ella to class?" She asked me in a tiny voice meant to charm me, but I shook my head at her."No, Angel. Pets are not allowed in class.""But why? They are harmless. I will make sure that they are on their best behaviour all the time. Emma doesn't even bite. Please daddy."Chloe chuckled. "Rules are rules, sweetie, and taking your pets to class is not allowed. Don't worry, they will be safe at home, and you can play with them when you return."I shot her a look of gratitude, because I was honestly already considering the possibility of allowing Ari go to class with her pets."Are you not excited going to school today?" Chloe asked again, and from the mirror, I saw Ariana gave a slow nod, which
~One year later Bonnie's POV I leaned by the door of our room, my arms crossed over my chest and a satisfied smile on my lips. My husband sat on the bed, cradling our three months old son, Skyler Myles Ferguson, or simply Kyle. I thought it would be cute to give him his father's name, as Myles took his own father's. All his attention was fixed on the baby, that it took him a while to notice me standing there. I brought out my phone and discreetly took a picture. I had so many pictures of the both of them, and I could not help but always take more anytime I find a cute moment of them. Maybe it was still too early to tell, but I think I grow to love Myles more each day. I loved him as a boyfriend, I loved him more as a husband. When I became pregnant, I thought I could not love him more than that. He took care of me. He knew all my needs and he provided them even before I asked. I caught him a few times reading about pregnancy hormones and how to help. When things got difficult, he
Bonnie's POVI woke up early in the morning to the sound of my phone ringing. I was laying on top of Myles with his hands around my waist. It took a moment for my brain to process the fact that this was my wedding day, and I was not supposed to be here.I sprang up at that realization, waking Myles up in the process. I quickly went to look for my phone, and I was not surprised to see so many missed calls from Chloe and Myra. I took the phone and picked up the call."Fuck, Bonnie, where are you?" Chloe's voice rang in my ears, and I flinched from the sharpness of her tone. "I have been looking for you everywhere. I was just about to file a report concerning a missing bride. Where did you go?"I chuckled. "Calm down, Chloe. I went to see Myles.""You must be fucking kidding me. But that is against the rule. You are not supposed to see him the night before your wedding. You have already fucked him in Vegas when you were not supposed to, and now this?"I rolled my eyes at her dramatics. "
Myles' POVIt was the night before my wedding, and I could not sleep. Apart from the fact that I could not wait to marry Bonnie, I could not just stop thinking of the transformation that had occured in my life, how far I had come. I knew that happiness was a thing, but I never thought it was a thing for me.Not too long ago, I was alone, lost, empty. I was just a tough shell with nothing inside. I was haunted by the ghosts from my past, the ones I knew and the ones I didn't. I had built a wall around myself, one that went so high and thick, shielding me from the world. I became a ghost, a shadow just existing. I didn't even fear dying because I had nothing to live for.But then, Bonnie came into my life, and even the first encounter shook something inside of me to life. Even the first time my gaze met her lovely lively ones, I knew that she would be trouble if I let her in.I tried to resist her. I tried so much, but what could I do against such force. She was like an earthquake, shat
Bonnie's POVIn the evening after we've had dinner, Chloe informed Myra and I that it was time for the pool party. She brought out some sexy bikinis, and I squealed in excitement at the sight of them. I had always appreciated clothes that made me look hot, and I never hesitated in showing off some skin."You are just going to keep Myles on his toes when he sees you in this." Chloe stated in excitement as she handed me the white one piece bikini, with openings at the sides, belly area and back. It also revealed a lot of cleavage."And it's going to be a problem when he does not get the chance to touch me." I giggled, trying to imagine his reaction.Chloe and Myra laughed."It gets more satisfying when you make him anticipate." Chloe stated, before we all changed into our bikinis and went out to the pool.It was a private pool. Ethan, Jeremy and Myles were already lounging by the side. Myles sat up when he saw me, his eyes darkening. Then he suddenly frowned, before he got up and walked
Bonnie's POVI spoke to Jeremy and he told me that he would be home, so I went to pay him a visit. It had been a while since I last saw him, and I wanted to catch up and tell him the date for my wedding, which would be happening in less than two weeks. I didn't let him know that I would be coming though, as I wanted it to be a surprise.I had my keys, but there was no need for it as the doors were left open. I walked into the house and found my way to Jeremy's room. But I shouldn't had done that.Right on the bed, my brother was seated, a girl straddling his laps, her hands around his neck and they were in a heated make out session. It was obvious that they would start having sex soon. I would had left them, but the figure of the girl caught my attention. I cleared my throat, and she jumped off him in shock, while I leaned in the door, a mischievous smile on my lips."Bon, the fuck!" My brother yelled, his voice carried irritation, not hiding the fact that I had just spoilt the moment
Myles' POV Bonnie and I were on the bed, with her head resting on my chest, going through her phone. We just came out from the shower, and decided to rest. Bonnie was naked, but for my own sanity, I covered her with the sheets or I would end up in her again. It was impossible for me to control my urges when it came to her.She suddenly gasped at what she saw in her phone, making me curious. Before I could ask, she turned the phone to my face."Joshua Parson had been arrested and charged to court with cases of kidnapping and attempted rape." Bonnie practically yelled, her voice carrying surprise and a hint of excitement. She hated that man for what he did to her best friend.It would not take me being a genius to know that it was Ethan behind the arrest and charge. He had really gotten himself busy. He also found out that the night Chloe was attacked, it was Tristan Davis who actually sent the men to beat her up, and not Anthony. Anthony just planned the abduction. Too bad he had to c
