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
Ashley's POVI was lying on the bed in my room. In fact, I had not come out of my room for days. I had the house staff bring food and everything I need to me. My parents were decent enough to give me some time to myself. But that was about to change.A knock came on my door, making me frown."Go away, I don't need you." I responded, thinking it was one of the staff."Ash, open up, we need to talk." It was mom.I ignored her, but she would not give up. She kept knocking, until I got up and opened the door. She walked inside and reclined the sofa facing my bed, while I walked back to my bed."Ash, talk to me.""There is nothing to talk about. You got what you wanted, go away.""Oh, fuck this! I am not going to entertain any more of your tantrums. You are not a child, stop acting like one. What do you want me to do? Force him?" She yelled at me."You could have called off the alliance. He might have a rethink."She shook her head. "He will not. He loves that woman, and he will not be lea
