Ethan's POVI had been thinking of saying those words to Chloe for so long now. I had been waiting for the perfect time. But now, I realized that there was no perfect time. Every moment I spent in her presence was perfect. So I just blurted those two words that I had been holding myself back from saying to her, while I held my breath as I waited for her answer.Her beautiful eyes were wide as they stared back at me, and she tightened her hold on my hand. I couldn't read her at this moment. Was she going to accept? Would she refuse? The thought of that suddenly made my heart skip and squeeze in a bad way.I knew that she was already in love with me, but I had never asked her what her thoughts were about marriage, whether she would be interested. And now, with each painful moment, each painful breath, I was regretting that."Chloe we could... I mean... You don't have... I am sor...""Yes.""You don't have to accept if you don't want to. If you need more time, I will be happy to give..."
Bonnie's POVI opened the fridge in the living room to get out the gallon of milk. I gulped it down, as if it would save me.The memories of what happened last night was flashing into my mind mercilessly, making me wish that I could go back in time. I had acted so fucking desperate.Did I truly ask him if I was lovable? This must be the result of being single for too long.A hand to my back made me jump in fright and spill some of the milk."Jeremy!" I turned to see my brother grinning at me."Good morning, little sister. I need you to tell me where you were last night, and why you look like you have seen a ghost.""None of your fucking business. Leave me alone." I snapped, but he just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest."Some important secret huh?" He wiggled his brow playfully.As if I was not feeling embarrassed enough."I am busy this morning, Jer. I also have a client to meet up with, so I don't have the time for your shenanigans."He raised his hands in surrende
Chloe's POVEthan had been treating me like I was the most precious thing to him in the world, I even found him amusing sometimes. We had been inseparable since the day he proposed to me. We had even gone on numerous dates.Right now, we were in the new private swimming pool in the estate. I said I wanted to swim, and he decided to join me."I have been thinking about what Bonnie told me..." I told him after a while of swimming. I went to the edge of the pool and sat down, and he came to stand between my legs."About the modelling stuff?"I nodded. I had told him about him after my meeting with Bonnie."You really like it?"I shrugged. "I have been very idle for a while, and I will like to change that. Before I met you, I was used to working and taking care of myself. This was a good break, but I think I will like to do something now.""You don't bother about money right?" He asked softly, as he wrapped his hands around my waist, resting his head on my exposed thighs."You don't give
Chloe's POVI was tossing and turning in bed, wanting to call Ethan, but I was waiting for him to arrive there first. He would arrive in France at approximately eight hours, and this was the longest eight hours of my life.Since I left the airport, I had been restless. I could not tell why, but I was worried about Ethan. After the eight hours, I had to hold myself back from calling him right away. I knew that he would need some time to settle in. But then his call came in, and I was hurried to take it. He just told me that he had gotten to France, but had not checked into the hotel he would be staying.My heart relaxed when I heard his voice again. Maybe I was just being paranoid. This was the first time he was travelling out of the country since I got to know him. And maybe I was just missing him so much.When he checked into the hotel, he called me again, on video call this time."Hey Mama."He was lying on the bed without shirt, and his hair was tousled and looking a little moist,
Bonnie's POV After working and meeting people and signing contracts in the academy today, Myra decided that we go out to a club for a break which she claimed that I deserved. And today had also been very dramatic, as I had a major fall out with Ashley, and I knew that I would be in trouble with the management on Monday. ***Flash back*** When I predicted winning that competition would give me more opportunities and connections, I was not wrong at all. Now I even had people under me to help me with my personal work as they were way too much for just me. People of different classes wanted to sign a deal with me, and it still felt so unreal. I had even gotten a lot of followers in my social media pages. I was busy that afternoon with a new set of clothes, when Ashley sauntered to my work space. Chloe did warn me that something was wrong with her upstairs, and she gave me no reason to doubt it at all. She began to survey everywhere and my girls also, who were busy. Everyone ignored her
Bonnie's POVMyles took me to his house, but unlike the last time, I wasn't too eager to follow him in. Plus the fact that my body was feeling very funny right now. I felt... Hot."Are you stalking me?" I went straight to asking him the moment we stepped into his living room. That could be the only explanation for this. He was always there when I was in trouble."You are safe, damsel. That is all that matters.""Are you stalking me?" I repeated, going to stand in front of him, fuming silently."You need to rest."I ran my hands through my hair, still trying to process what had happened. Those men... Who sent them?"Did you know if that man died in the club?" I asked again, and he casually shrugged."I don't know. But he would consider himself lucky if he doesn't survive.""What do you mean?"He tried to walk past me, but I grabbed his shoulder. Calmly, he looked at where my hand connected with his body, his gaze fixed and stern."If you had noticed, I don't like people touching me."I
Bonnie's POVI did sleep. I checked my phone when I woke up to see that I had been out for about three hours, and it was already past midnight. I left the room and went to find him.He wasn't in the living room, kitchen, game room or any other room I had entered. I then went to his bedroom. I had not entered it before. I knocked once and I discovered that the door was not locked. I wondered if it would be wise for me to enter. For someone who loved his space and privacy as much as he did, he might not appreciate it.But damn it all. I needed to speak to him, and he entered my room without me inviting him in anyway.I pushed the door open slightly, before stepping into the room.The room was mostly black and white, so neat, not a speck of dust could be found. The walls were white, while the sheets and curtains were black. My gaze was drawn to the connecting balcony, and I walked there.I found him on only his pants, shirtless, leaving me to view his tattooed arm. There was a stick of l
Chloe's POVIt is true what they say. Time moves slowly when you are you are waiting for something. It felt so long, but it was only a week, and it was the day Ethan was coming back home. Ari and I couldn't be more happy.I decided to call him when I was done getting dressed for work. I had asked Marian if she could just take the job of being Ari's nanny, and she was happy to do so.Just before I called Ethan, I received a text from him, which was unusual. He always preferred calling.'Hey mama, I am not sure I can make it back home today. I am having some problems with some business partners. I will try to finish up today and come back tomorrow. And I will explain everything to you when I get back. Tell Ariana that I miss her. I love you both.'I called him, but he didn't take my call. Maybe he was already dealing with whatever problem he was talking about. I really wished to know, but he said he would explain when he got back.I decided that I was going to call him later, so I went
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
