Chloe's POVI thought I could take it. I thought I would understand, because he was marrying her for whatever good reason he had, but it hurts. It hurts so bad it was difficult to breath."Joshua!" I yelled, and it didn't take long before he came inside. I had been calling him by his name for a while now. Maybe I thought he didn't deserve the respect I was giving him. I just wanted to leave here."Chloe? What is it?" He asked me softly. He was fully dressed and ready to leave for work, while I would be locked up in this room for the whole day with no phone and no way out. There was TV, but I was tired of it."I want to leave."He shook his head. "You know that I can't let you leave. I wish I can stay here and keep you company, but I have work.""I have work too."He chuckled. "Chloe, you work for me, and I am giving you this time off. You will still be paid in full, and I can add bonuses if you want.""To hell with your fucking bonuses. I want to get out of here. The man that I love i
Ethan's POVI was already getting leads to Chloe's whereabouts. I didn't give up after going after all the people I suspected to be involved, I sent people to follow and monitor all their movements. There was nothing to raise brows about concerning Tristan and my father's movements, but the same could not be said about Joshua Parson.He had been more absent from work since the day Chloe got missing. The days he came, he was late and he went back early. He also never sleeps in his house anymore. Instead, he lives somewhere far off.I felt like having a drink, but I decided not to. I didn't want to get drunk or even tipsy at all because of Ariana. She had been glued to me since after I dropped Bonnie off at Myles' place, and it wasn't long that she fell asleep on my bed. I knew that she missed her mother.Now I was in my study, dropping and receiving calls. I needed the specific address of where Joshua was living, so I could getChloe and make the fucker suffer a little.My phone rang a
Chloe's POVI quickly snapped out of the haze I was in and ran out of the room. I was ignoring the ache in my core, because I knew that it was Ethan outside. It would just be for a little while longer before I see him again."Chloe get back here. Chloe!" Joshua yelled as he came after me.I ran into the kitchen, grabbing a knife and pointing it him. "If you come any closer, I swear, I will stab your fucking balls."He raised his hands, his eyes glued to the knife. He was looking at it cautiously because of the carefree way I was handling it. I was sending a threat to him, and I was more than ready to stab him if he comes any closer to me.He was going to say something, before I heard loud bangs from the doors downstairs."You are not going anywhere!" Joshua bellowed, before rushing to grab me. But I didn't give him the opportunity. I stabbed the knife into his stomach before I ran off to the stairs.But fuck it, I couldn't concentrate on anything. The drug he gave me was messing with
Ethan's POVWhy didn't I think of this earlier? My father had been sleeping with young girls since he lost my mom. The girls might be over the ages of eighteen, but it would still tarnish his reputation if people know this. I was just researching the ages just in case there was a slip up on his part. Then that way, I can file a case against him.Right now, I was in my room. I knew that Chloe needed rest, and it didn't even take long before she fell asleep. She was so tired and I wanted to fucking kill Joshua and my father for what they did to her.I soon heard little knocks on the door, and I already knew who was behind it. I got up and went to open the door, and Ariana looked up at me."Did mommy come back?"This girl! Sometimes it seemed she could sense her mother.I nodded and she beamed happily. She then placed her hands on my legs, pushing me backwards. Well, I was the one moving back.When she was inside the room, and she saw her mom, she screamed. "Mommy!"Chloe sprang up, and
Bonnie's POV I had been in this house since yesterday, and I would had died of boredom if I was not with my phone. Chloe was checking on me from time to time, but the person that I was spending more time talking to was Kelvin. I met him in one of those times when I was visiting places and advertising my work. He seemed to know a thing or two about fashion as well, so it was easy for us to get along. I didn't really think much about him, but recently, he had been showing interest in dating me. I didn't want to give him an answer just yet. Well, I didn't have an answer to give. I needed more time. Chloe would probably kill me if she finds out that I did not tell her about him, but with everything going on in her life, I didn't think to bother her with mine. While the owner of this house, Myles, was hardly seen. I didn't even know if he was out or in. I only saw him yesterday after he gave me this big room I was in now, then when I told him about Chloe's call and late at night when he
Ethan's POVI sighed as I watched Chloe who was on a video call with Bonnie. She was laying her head on my chest, her legs crossed, but she was not still at all. She kept moving about as she giggled and demonstrated to Bonnie. I loved watching her reaction, but I was also annoyed. I wanted her attention all to myself, but turns out that her best friend thought otherwise. They had been on the call for close to an hour now, and the end, I was already giving up."Do you like him?" Chloe asked her, giggling and squealing."Kinda. He asked me out on a date. As soon as I am out of here, I believe I will go with him. But, don't be too hopeful. This is just me trying to be open." Bonnie responded to her.They were talking about a guy named kelvin, and they both didn't mind that I was listening. Not that I wanted to, but they were shoving it down my throat."I am still surprised that you have not tried to seduce the hottie you are staying in his house." Chloe said with glee, and I turned to he
Ethan's POV It had been three days since I brought Chloe back home with me, and it had been perfect. I had not even been to work. I was just spending time, pampering her as much as I could. There was a lot I needed to do, but everything could wait. Chloe and my daughter were my utmost priority. Seeing my daughter cling to her mother, and watching the relationship between them was wholesome. Ariana missed her a lot, and now she was always glued to her. Chloe wasn't complaining though. I was the only one annoyed. Sometimes I needed her mother to myself in my bedroom, but my daughter would block my way. She was always invading on our privacy, and I was really considering giving her to Bonnie for a few days. Someone clearing her throat drew me out of my thoughts. I had just resumed work, and I was faced with the real world again. In front of me, sat Loretta Davis. She was Ashley's mother. I had expected someone from the Davis' family to pay me a visit sooner or later. I 'messed' with th
Chloe's POV Marian told me the most shocking thing today, and I could not stop being shocked. Today was Ethan's birthday, and I had no idea. He didn't mention it. Like nothing at all. He even went to work like every other normal day. Maybe he did not like to celebrate it, but he should had at least stayed at home. I wanted to make the day special to him, but I had no idea what to do, and there was no notice at all. What could I possibly buy for a billionaire that he would cherish? I was very much aware that he would appreciate anything I get for him, no matter the size or price, but I wanted something that would mean something to him. I had been surfing through the internet, and everything I found was something Ethan could easily just buy for himself. Fuck, I didn't know that being with a billionaire could be hard until now. I decided to call Bonnie and ask for help, and she picked up in the first ring. "Hey girl!" Her voice came in, a little too excited. "I was going to call you
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
