The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 42: Truth or Dare
Chloe was on cloud nine after spending a wonderful weekend with her parents. She didn't know she missed them that much. Evan was a gentleman and he showed an affectionate version during all the moments they spent together. About the wedding gift, Chloe still didn't believe she owned two very well-located establishments. Her parents were so excited about the idea of finally having an occupation again, that Carlos even accepted the proposed treatment.After a brief private conversation between the young couple, Evan assured Chloe that the gift was independent of the contract. She thought that if she wasn't already in love with him, she would fall in love at that moment.For the first time, the family spent the weekend making plans for the future."Oh my God, I can't believe you're here!" Brianna said while she entered Chloe's office with two mugs in hands. "Welcome back!""I missed you too, Bri!" Chloe took one mug."Oh, come on! You didn't even call me once!" Brianna scolded. "But I fo

Chloe walked undirected through the streets of NYC. She felt the cold night air hit her face and she took a deep breath. Her feet were aching from walking so much, but nothing compared to the emptiness in her heart.After listening to Evan and Victor's conversation, Chloe just grabbed her bag and left that place. With the pain in her chest and the confusion in her mind, she just walked, aimlessly, without reason. She needed to stay away from that place, she needed to stay away from him.Hours passed before she finally sat on a bench in the park. She was still shocked by the way Evan made her fall in love with him. If it was all a game for him, why did he have to go that far?Tears were streaming down her face and she didn't have the strength to dry them.How could she have been so naive? Why did she give her heart to a selfish CEO who only knew how to manipulate people?When Victor left, Evan sighed heavily. He knew that was wrong, but it was the only way he could protect Chloe at tha

Evan woke up with a terrible migraine due to a bad night's sleep and one less bottle of whiskey in his bar.He got up slowly and looked around. She was not there.Flashes of yesterday's events came through his mind. After Josh informed him that Chloe was at Brianna's house, Evan thought about going there, but Tyler advised him not to go.

He went to his office thinking about what he would say when he met Chloe there.Chloe said goodbye to her friend with a hug after asking her one last favor.

A couple of days had passed and Evan was feeling worse and worse. He plunged into work, seriously fighting to get the long-awaited millionaire contract. However, everything he did was automatic, as if he were a robot programmed for that. He avoided staying at home for a long time, because everything reminded him of her. Her perfume was already impregnated in the corners of the apartment, making the job of forgetting her much more difficult.Evan also avoided his mother's calls, once he was not prepared to explain what had happened.He wanted to go after Chloe several times, but according to Tyler, who was an experienced friend in relationships, Evan should respect her space now. If she really loved him, she would be back sooner or later.Chloe returned to her parents' house with her heart broken.

As he crossed the bridge to New Jersey, Evan drove quickly, at the same speed as his thoughts, he could tell.He had to tell Chloe how much he missed her scent, her laughter, her voice. Even when she spoke without thinking. He missed every part of her body, the touches, the teasing. Evan needed her more than he could ever imagine.He couldn't wait another minute to see her and bring her home.Evan grinned at the thought that he sounded like a passionate teenager. Well, maybe not a teenager, but in love he could guarantee he was.The possibility that she might ignore him crossed his mind, but Evan clung to the last thread of hope. As Tyler had said, if she really loved him, she would understand his reasons.Evan pressed his foot on the gas, not caring about the fines he had possibly taken. A few minutes later, he parked the car in front of her house.He got out of the car taking off his sunglasses, then he looked at the house and sighed deeply. It was all or nothing.At the second knoc

Chloe swallowed hard because of the proximity of their bodies. She could feel his irregular breathing, which showed that he was as affected as she was at that moment."I don't owe you anything, Evan." she said rueful. "Nothing. Not even explanations. That contract was never signed."Her words surprised him. He felt a twinge in his heart, which made him walk away from her angrily."Why do you always come up with this contract issue? Can't you see, Chloe? It's crystal clear!" he yelled, losing his control over the situation. "It was never about the contract! That's why we never signed it!"Evan gripped her wrists tightly and shook her, looking into her eyes. "Is not evident enough?" he asked trying to control his tone of voice. "I love you!"The accumulated tears blurred her eyes. After that statement, Chloe was unable to hold them anymore."Please, say something." he shook her slightly."You're hurting me." she said faintly, looking at her wrists."Sh*t!" Evan blasphemed and released he

"I won't go back to that apartment with you, Evan." Chloe said calmly."What?" Evan stopped stroking her hair and looked confused.They were still lying on the bed in her room, where they had just made love. Chloe broke the hug and stood up, picking up her dress on the floor."Chloe!" he called her louder than necessary. "I thought we had agreed to try again ... together."He got up quickly and stopped behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders. Chloe sighed heavily and closed her eyes for a brief moment. When she opened them, she said in a cold voice."I don't trust you anymore.""How come? What do I need to do to make you believe me?""Show me how deep your love is. Respect my space for now."He said nothing, just collected his clothes and got dressed. Chloe remained in the same position, and did not understand all that silence. When she turned to look at him, Evan was already dressed like a cold, unreachable CEO. However, this time there was fire in his eyes.Evan walked over t

Chloe spent the night thinking about him. His scent was still on the sheets, making it impossible for Chloe to think of anything other than his body, his big hands touching her skin, his lips kissing her gently.When the sun came up, she decided to get up and take a cold shower to ward off those naughty thoughts.Chloe reached the kitchen feeling hungry. Her mother was cooking something and when she saw her daughter, she grinned."Good morning, beauty!" "Morning, mom!" Chloe kissed her mother's cheek. "What are you doing?""Bacon and mixed eggs, the way you like it.""Oh, God!" Chloe covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. She threw up some food she had eaten the day before. After washing her mouth, she went back to the kitchen."Sorry, mom. I think my stomach is not good today.""Are you ok? What happened?" Jane was worried."The smell of the food made me sick." "Chloe… Are you sure you're ok, darling? Are you not feeling anything else?""Don't worry, mother. I'm good. It's just

Evan sighed heavily and opened the file.'Dear Evan, I'm sorry for everything I've been putting you through. I'm sorry for the photos in the magazine. I loved you at some point, but I was so blinded by fame, power and money that I couldn't realize in time how happy I could be with you. I am sending this email to inform you that I am leaving. I will go to Paris to resume my modeling career. Be happy. Maybe someday we'll meet there. Love, Jill.'Evan leaned back in his chair and stared at the computer screen. For the first time after all the mess Jill created in his life, he felt nothing for her. That rage that burned his body and made him think of all the times she made a fool of him was gone.That wedding plan was designed to play in Jill's face that he could be happy without her.

"The baby is still alive, Mr. Bailey. However, his heartbeat is very slow. Ms. Rodriguez needs to take absolute rest for a period to be able to keep the child. In addition, I will keep her here for a few days to ensure recovery.""His heartbeat? Do you mean it's a boy?" Evan asked with eyes shining."Yes, sir. It's a little warrior." the doctor responded with a weak smile. "Congratulations!""Can I see her now?""Yes. She is asleep due to the medication, but she will wake up soon. Please avoid strong emotions. The baby's life is still at risk.""Thank you, doctor."Evan headed for the room where Chloe was, feeling his heart explode with joy. He managed to save his small family after all.He watched her sleep and ran his hand over her face, through her hair, and finally over her belly."We did it, buddy." Evan said with teary eyes. "So small but so brave. You'll be just like your mother. Thank you for not giving up on us, son. I promise you that I will protect you as long as I live. Be
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 58: Rescue Operation
Everyone was ready on time. The working day at the port was over, there was no one else in the place.The warehouse was no longer used for port operations, so it was far away from the others.In the distance, Evan could see three black SUV's, which were also part of his team, to assist in case of escape.He appeared to be calm, but inside his blood bubbled in his veins, burning every part of his body. If Victor had harmed his baby and his wife, he would pay with his own life.Josh approached Evan and handed him a gun."If necessary, you know what to do, sir."Evan glanced at him and nodded. It was show time."We have six men inside and ten men outside. Be fast and accurate. Don't hesitate to shoot." Josh passed on the information to the team. "Mr. Bailey, you will enter the warehouse with team two. Please, as soon as you are with Ms. Rodriguez, get out of there immediately.""Deal." Evan just said.The teams took their positions and everything happened very quickly. When Evan realized

"Why? Were you expecting someone in particular?" Victor laughed evilly. "Perhaps a lost princess?""What did you do?" Evan asked angrily."I warned you to protect her… But you didn't care, did you?""Don't play with me, Victor. I'll destroy you.""Try it, Evan. Just try it. You will never see that b*tch again!""What do you want?""I want everything that is yours. I want to see you crawling for mercy." Victor said with hate. "You know, Evan, you inherited an empire. You never knew what it's like to build something from scratch. There is a lot of pain and suffering. I have dedicated myself, my whole life, to build what I have, so as not to be in need. Suddenly a boy appears, thinking that he will take everything from me. You are a boast who never valued what you have! I want to see you suffer." "Your problem is with me. We will solve this from man to man." Evan stated dryly. "Release Chloe now.""Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not a boy like you!" he mocked. "Give up on the millionaire

Evan ran back to the restaurant. Maybe she was still around. He needed to act fast."Evan?" Jane found him at the front door. "What happened? Why are you running?""I'm sorry, Jane." he said with regret."Why? What happened?" she asked distressed."It's Chloe." he felt a twinge in his heart. "I think she was taken.""Taken?" "I'm ready, let's go." Carlos said as he walked towards them. "What's wrong? Why are you pale?" he looked at his wife."Mr. Rodriguez, please. I need to know if there is any cameras here.""What's going on? Yes, we have cameras! They stay connected in my office." Carlos was confused."I need to check them out now." Evan tried to stay calm."Why do you think she was taken?" Jane asked in a choked voice."Because I found this on the parking lot floor, next to my car." Evan showed the shoe."I can't believe it! No! Is it a joke? Where's my daughter?" Jane screamed as tears welled up in her eyes. "Who would do that?""That's what I'm going to find out." Evan stated co

Chloe even imagined Evan buying baby stuff. She smiled at that thought.Before she reached the bar to find Evan, a waiter approached her and said."Excuse me, Ms. Rodriguez.

The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 53: You Are The One That I Want
Evan was pissed off. He didn't know if his anger was because he found out someone was trying to separate him from Chloe or if it was because Chloe didn't believe his words at all. She was the one who came closest to his heart, so she should know him better. Why all that insecurity? Just because he was a billionaire guy?If money meant anything, Evan would already have a big and happy family.Why didn't she give herself a chance to be happy? Wasn't it clear enough that he was willing to try?Maybe she didn't really love him. Maybe it was just a physical attraction.Evan snorted and hit the steering wheel angrily. She drove him crazy in so many ways. "What a stubborn girl!" he said.About who sent those photos to the magazine, Evan had a hunch, but he was going to check with the detective first.

After all the stress that day brought, Jane feared that that visit would not do her daughter any good."Evan, Chloe is resting.""Don't lie to me, Jane. I know she was in the hospital." he was impatient.The middle-aged woman widened her eyes. "H-How do you know?" her voice faltered."It doesn't matter. I just wanna see her. May I come in?"Jane was speechless with Evan's intimidating stance. After everything he had done for that family, she couldn't deny such a request."Yes, please." He entered the house, feeling anxious. Without saying another word, Jane guided him to her daughter's room. After knocking on the door, she heard Chloe's weak voice."Come in."Jane opened the door cautiously, afraid of her daughter's reaction. "Someone is here to visit you, darling."Chloe slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the two people standing at the door. She h
