"Boss, they have reached here as well. You should leave with Chloe through the back door. I'll handle them. A car is waiting at the back of the house," Mike informed Andrew as gunshots rang out from outside. Andrew and Chloe exchanged a worried glance. Andrew nodded at Mike and clasped Chloe's hand. "Let's go, Chloe." He led her out of the house and strode to the black Mercedes. He opened the door for her. "No, you sit first. I can't let you make the same mistake again," she insisted, and he rolled his eyes. "Okay, fine." He hastily settled into the back seat, knowing there was no time for argument. A smile of victory spread across her face and she sat beside him. The driver started the car engine as soon as Chloe shut the door. The car sped off, its tyres screeching. "Shit, they're following us," Andrew said after glancing behind. "Who are they?" Chloe asked, her eyes glinting with curiosity. "They are my enemies, and because of that photo, they are after you," he explained, an
Chloe mistakenly placed her hand on Andrew's wounded arm, and he hissed in pain. "I'm sorry." She apologised, coming back to her senses, and then she moved away from him. "It's okay," he responded, and she sat beside him. They both thought about their accidental kiss and how they felt when their lips met. Now, they were craving more, finding it hard to resist each other. Andrew took out his phone to call Mike. "Shit, there's no network. How will I contact Mike now?" he muttered in frustration, sliding the phone back into his pocket. "Wow, thank you so much, God. Now I can spend more time in this dense forest with Mr. Handsome." As Chloe thought, a goofy smile flashed on her face. After a few minutes of silence, Chloe spoke up, "Mr. Handsome." He instantly turned his head toward her. "What?" he raised his brows. "I'm feeling sleepy. Could I rest my head on your shoulder?" She asked, and he slightly nodded his head in response. Her eyes shone, and she placed her head on his shou
Andrew took Chloe's hand in a firm grip. "We have to run from here, they're around us." She gave him a slight nod in response, still under the effect of their intense kiss. He scurried away, grasping her hand. They were running through the dense forest, hand in hand, panting and sweating, trying to escape the danger without knowing where they were heading. He was terrified for her and wanted to protect her at any cost. Their eyes dilated in horror as a few rival men appeared in front of them, their lips curved into devilish smiles. Andrew hastily reached into his pocket to take out the gun but realised he had left it under the tree. He glared at the goons and pushed Chloe behind him to protect her. He stood in front of her like a shield. "I'm surrendering. You can take me to your boss, but let her go. She isn't at fault." Andrew had never bowed his head to anyone before, but today he accepted his defeat to protect Chloe. This showed he would do anything to keep her safe. She had b
Chloe was crying in agony, touching her face to Andrew's, thinking she had lost him. She was devastated. Mike reached the forest with his men. He became horrified as he saw Chloe weeping, hugging Andrew. He rushed to them, sat down, and held Andrew's wrist to check his pulse. He sighed with relief because Andrew was alive. "Chloe, he's alive. He's just unconscious." He tried to make Chloe understand, but she wasn't listening to him. So he held her hand and placed it over Andrew's heart. She got her breath back as soon as she heard his soothing heartbeat. She closed her eyes and sighed with profound relief. She opened her eyes and stared at Andrew with a relieved smile and teary eyes. "Why are you all standing like this? Take him to the hospital," she ordered his men in a curt tone. Two men hurriedly picked up Andrew and headed to their private ambulance. Chloe walked with them, holding Andrew's hand and staring at his face, anxious. She settled down inside the ambulance, where a d
Andrew was about to stand up to go after Chloe, but Mike reached him and stopped him by holding his shoulders. "Boss, you should take some rest." "I'm fine, Mike," He responded in a stern tone. "Please, Boss," Mike requested, and Andrew listened to him. He closed his eyes and lay down. After the doctor checked on him, a maid brought in his food, followed by a nurse who came to change his dressing. His eyes never left the door; he was waiting for Chloe restlessly. He desperately wanted her to be with him. An entire day passed like this, but Chloe didn't come to see him. He couldn't understand why she was avoiding him. As time went on, he became increasingly restless, missing her and feeling incomplete without her. He needed her. He longed for her presence. *** "Mike, how is Andrew?" Chloe asked Mike in the corridor. "He's recovering fast. In a few hours, he will be moved to his room," Mike told her. "Thank God." Chloe sighed in relief. "Why aren't you going to see him?" Mike en
At midnight, Andrew woke up from a deep slumber. A smile flashed across his face as he saw Chloe's angelic face. For the first time in his life, he slept peacefully because of her. She had become the peace in his life. Her presence gave him immense happiness and solace. He raised his head from the pillow and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. She smiled contentedly in her sleep as his lips touched her skin. He beamed at her and gently tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. "There is so much peace in this moment with you. Now, I never want to lose this. I'm exhausted from living a life filled with darkness. My whole life, I've longed for the peace that I've found in you. After meeting you, I realized that you're the missing part of my incomplete life and what true happiness is. Before you, my life was meaningless, and I was just counting days, waiting to die. But after meeting you, I understood the importance of life. In the forest, when I thought my end had come, I promised m
Chloe had been ignoring Andrew for a week, and though he was busy with his work, he knew she was dodging him. He couldn't understand why she was doing this. Before, she had been forcing him to admit that he cared for her, and now that he had accepted it, she was pushing him away. He really didn't understand what was wrong with her, why she was saying that they were becoming each other's weaknesses. Mike informed him that Chloe was on the terrace. He went there to meet her. She was standing with her back to him, holding the railing. Her black dress was fluttering in the breeze, revealing her milky white thighs, which he wanted to stroke and kiss. She turned around as she heard his footsteps approaching her. As their eyes met, they got lost in each other's gaze. He strolled toward her, and her heartbeat quickened. Her breath always became heavier in his presence. "I'm going." She stepped to walk away, but he stopped her by grasping her arm. "What the hell is your problem, Chloe?" H
They stood by the pool, wrapped in a tender embrace. Then, with a playful glint in her eye, she suddenly leapt into the water with him. His shocked laughter echoed through the air as they splashed and submerged. They simultaneously lifted their faces out of the water, their eyes locking in a sparkling gaze. He whispered, "You never fail to surprise me." She smiled at him in response, water droplets glistening on her skin like diamonds. He captured her wet and succulent lips by grasping her wet hair and pulling her face to himself. Her fingers curled in his wet hair, and she responded to his kiss with equal passion. Their tongues explored each other's mouths. Their wet bodies rubbed against each other inside the cold water, igniting wild desires. He was taking her breath away with the kiss, making her dizzy and drunk. He was stealing her soul with this kiss. They pulled away, beaming at each other and panting after the intense kiss. "I've never felt like this before. What are yo
