Bonnie's POVAfter the bidding event ended, I was determined to find that anonymous bidder, but I had no idea where to start. There were so many people here, and I didn't even know who he was.Edgar. Alia said the person that paid her to model for me was Edgar. I believed that he was the anonymous bidder, it could not just be a coincidence. I didn't even get his last name, and Alia seemed to have left the vicinity."Is there a problem?" Chloe asked from behind me."I need to find the anonymous bidder, but I don't even know where to start from. There are so many people here. I need to thank him. His name is Edgar, that's all I learnt from Alia.""Maybe he will look for you. Since he went out of his way to bid such huge amount, I believe he would like to see you." Chloe said, smiling broadly."Chloe..." I took her hands, facing her, before squeezing them tight. "Thank you so much.""It is nothing you will not do for me."My eyes stung. Tears of happiness, relief, triumph... "You had no
Bonnie's POV As usual, Myles was calm beside me. He still had his usual calculating look in his eyes, as he studied me from time to time. "I didn't know you would come." A low chuckle. "You had invited me, Damsel." I bit half of my lower lip gently. "I know, but... You don't seem like that kind of person." Now he raised an amused brow. "What made you think that?" I merely shrugged. "You seem... I don't know how to put it. But this sought of things does not suit you." I looked at him, and swallowed when those brown eyes staring back at me demanded an explanation. "You are mysterious. I know that you told me that you have a farm, and you like simple things like gaming, but... You seem like a dangerous person." "Dangerous..." He drawled. "Interesting." Now a smile danced on his lips, as if he was finding what I was saying amusing. "Do you find me scary then?" I shook my head. "No. Not at all. You are... Safe." "Dangerous, safe. You seem to be contradicting yourself, damsel."
Bonnie's POV It's been two weeks since I won the runway and the bidding competition. And just as I expected, I gained lots of contracts, both for myself and the establishment. Now all the teachers and superiors were fawning over me. I had been extremely busy, and I also didn't want to catch a break. I needed this distraction, because anytime I am idle, I find myself thinking about him. Since our last encounter, I had not been able to get him out of my mind. I told him that I wanted to know him, but he pushed me away with a warning. He wanted to scare me, but that only served to intrigue me more. That only fired the desire to unravel the layers of him, to see him raw and vulnerable. I was presently at home right now, in my work room, but I was not doing anything meaningful. I was just going through a wedding dress I made for someone, trying to find a fault in it, but there was nothing. It was a Saturday afternoon, so I didn't go to the academy today. "You have been here all day."
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
