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
Chloe's POVBonnie dragged me into the night club, as I reluctantly followed after her. I didn't plan to come here, but she thought it would cheer me up.I had recently been fired from work, and it had left me feeling a little moody. My boss had asked me to sleep with him, and when I refused, he framed me up and fired me. He spread different rumours, making my colleagues believe that I had tried to seduce him for a promotion.Just before we entered, Bonnie stopped and stood in front of me. She held my shoulders at arms length, and I knew that she was going say something to cheer me up. She was my ever supportive best friend."I brought you here to have fun, to forget about that fucking boss of yours. I know that you really liked the job and it paid you a lot, but with a boss like that, it is not worth it. You will get another one, so fuck him!"I smiled, nodding my head at her. I then decided that I was going to my best to have fun, just so her effort would not be wasted.Bonnie began
Chloe's POVI woke up the next morning to find the man still sleeping. It was even now that I realized that I did not even know his name. I stared at him for a while, and found out that he was one beautiful sculpture of a man. I could easily rate him among the finest I had ever seen.Memories of our night together came rushing into my mind, and I found it shocking to believe that I had actually slept with a stranger, and it was one wild night. I was sure that I would never forget it in my entire life.I tried to get out of the bed gently, so that he would not hear me, but before I came down, he opened his eyes. I found myself staring into them for a moment."Were you going to leave without telling me?" He asked groggily, seemingly displeased."I would have written you a note."He abruptly got up and grasped my wrist. "I don't even know your name.""Chloe. Not like it is very important." I joked.He then allowed me to crawl down the bed, and I quickly began to dress back up.I caught t
Chloe's POV~Five years laterI knelt in front of my daughter who was lying on the hospital bed, my heart hurting. She had been diagnosed of cancer, and I had spent almost every penny I had made on her. Bonnie too had spent almost all the money she was saving to start up her own fashion house on my daughter. It pained me to see her sacrifice so much for me, but it hurt me even more to see my little girl suffer. She did not deserve any of these.I suddenly felt a familiar touch on my shoulder, and I knew that it was Bonnie. "I think it is time you let Ethan know. He might do something. Ariana needs help, and she needs it soon. Her father is a billionaire, it shouldn't be that difficult. He could easily solve all her problems, and Ariana will be free." She persuaded me, and I nodded, knowing that she was making sense.I didn't want to go back to Ethan, because I wanted to raise my daughter on my own at first. But when I had her, I decided to let him know. I believed it would be unfair t
Ethan's POVI watched as the slender lady entered my office with my receptionist, her face filled with determination, even though I could easily tell from how swollen her eyes were that she had been crying. I remembered her. I remembered the night we spent together. I also remembered how I missed her terribly, but she didn't seem to want anything to do with me. Eventually I gave up on her to focus on more important things.I dismissed my receptionist and invited Chloe to come sit in the chair facing me, and she readily did."I am sorry for causing you trouble this morning at your..." She began, but I cut her off."You mentioned that you have a child with me." I went straight to the point, and she nodded."A beautiful little girl, full of light." She said, and from the glimmer in her eyes, I could tell that she loved her daughter so much."And you are certain that this daughter of yours is mine?"She nodded. "She is.""If it is true, shouldn't I sue you for keeping her away from me?"I
Chloe's POVI could not say that I had not thought of that possiblity of Ethan wanting custody of my daughter, but I tried to push that to the back of my mind and focus on what was most important. But now he had thrown it in my face, I couldn't help the fear that I felt. I didn't want to lose my daughter. She was the most important thing to me in this world."I have been taking care of her by myself well enough!" I argued with him."Are you sure? Because you don't look like you have it all together right now."Arrogant bastard!"Ethan, please."He shook his head. "I will see you tomorrow."He then left without sparing me one more glance.What would I do if he decides to take her from me? He had the money and connections after all. I took a deep breath. At least, he would help her. Her life was the most important to me at this point.The next day came quickly, and like Ethan promised, he came to move Ari to a new hospital.I had packed Ariana's things and had gotten her ready. I held h
Chloe's POV"Why do you not like my mommy, Ethan?""Your mom... I like her. She... She is good." Ethan stammered, obviously taken aback by her question, and I stifled back my laugh."Then how come you don't get her gifts as well?" Ariana asked curiously, looking a little sad, and I found it comical how Ethan was thrown off balance."Your mom..." He pinched the bridge between his brows. "Your mom is a grown up.""Grown up love gifts too. Mommy loves it when Uncle Dylan brings her gifts." Ariana said, and I noticed the frown that formed on Ethan's face."Who is uncle Dylan?" He asked her, his brows furrowing."He is a friend to my mommy. Aunty Bonnie said that he likes her and mommy likes him too.""Ari, it is time for you to go to bed." I said quickly, before she would say more. "Come let me tuck you in."She shook her head. "I want Ethan to do it."Ethan's eyes widened. "Me?""Yes. Don't you want to tuck me in?" She asked him cutely, her big eyes round in expectation."Oh, of course I
Ethan's POVI had been in a bad mood since I woke up. It was a Saturday morning, and my father had decided to visit my house. I had not heard from him since the day I took over his position as the CEO, and I was sure that he was not coming to sing my praises.Chloe and Ariana had been here for two days. Chloe mostly ignored me, while Ariana would play with me anytime she sees me. I would be lying if I say that it wasn't fulfilling. The only down side was her health.That morning, I went to Ariana's room to see her, but I was surprised to meet Chloe there, cradling her in her arms."Is something wrong?" I asked her, my voice laced with worry.Chloe nodded, blinking rapidly. I knew that she was trying to stop herself from crying, and I felt a pang in my chest. "She is in pains. I don't know what to do."I panicked immediately. I thought of driving her to the hospital, but I had no idea if she was strong enough to hit the road. Instead I decided to bring the doctor to my home. I made a p
