Chloe heard someone talking. Nowadays, everything they talk is white noise for her. She never bothered much about who it is or what they are talking. She is not bothered that someone kidnapped her.
If she cannot be with Nero, then it doesn't matter where she is or with whom she is. Days and nights jumbled together, and she no longer cares to remember which day it is.But today, there is a familiar voice that made her open her eyes and look at the person standing over her bed.Two people were talking and her eyes are fixed on one person.
'Am I dreaming? ' She thought as her heart blossomed with hope. She kept looking at the person, as one of them left the room."Nero?" She whispered.
Her voice is hoarse with lack of use.
He looks different, but she knows it's him.
She struggled to sit up from the bed, but he is there like always to help her.
"My dove" Nero whispered and hugged her tightly.
"He s
Chloe jumped with fright when she heard a knock on the door. Nero kissed her forehead softly to assure her."I am here with you. I promise I will not let anyone touch you, " he promised her.She nodded her head.Nero walked towards the door to unlock it.Juan looked at him expectantly."Did she eat?" he asked, trying to peek inside the room."She did, " Nero replied, blocking the door completely.Juan is shocked. So many people tried to feed her, but everyone failed. How come this new bodyguard succeeded? , he thought."But how?" Juan asked curiously."None of you used your brains. I did, " he bluffed.Juan looked at him with confusion."What do you mean by that?" he asked with puzzlement."I told her Nero is alive. She became happy and finished her soup, " Nero said, making Juan frown."Why did you lie to her?" he wanted to know."What did you mana
Slowly the day passed by and Nero began to initiate his plan. First, he installed cameras in front of Chloe's room. He began to monitor the activities from the second floor. As her room is on the top floor, he has a view of everything that's happening in the lower floors directly below Chloe's room. He saw how many guards are there and how many servants are working. He looked at Chloe and noticed her asleep. Since he came here, she is refusing to sleep. Instead, she was just looking at him with her eyes filled with lots of hope and love. If she would have looked at him like that back home, he wouldn't have let her leave their room for days. But now he needs to focus and she needs to rest. Finally, just a couple of minutes ago, she gave in to her body's demands and slept peacefully. As he was monitoring his surrounding since this morning, he know where the guards are scarce. He meddled with the lock on Chloe's door and
That night, Luca called his father who is in New York."Is she safe?" Luca Vitiello asked his son."She is, " Nero replied."Good, what is the plan of action now" Luca asked."He believes that I am dead. So I planted a doubt in his mind saying I might be alive recovering in a hospital. I am sure he will send his men to confirm if it's true or not. Arrange a few of our men in disguise and let them act as if they are helping Juan's men. Arrange a dead body of my size and cover its face with bandages. Let Juan's men believe that my men are really helping them and let them kill that dead body. That will help our men to gain access to Mexico. With them as my back up, we will escape from here and I am sure he will follow us back to New York. It's impossible to win over us in New York"Luca Vitiello smirked at his son's plan."Very well. It might take a week for the back up to reach Mexico. Will you b
The next morning, Chloe woke up feeling fresh and wrapped up in Nero's arms. She began to savor their time together. She understood that life is unpredictable. So she decided to push her fears and uncertainties away. She has Nero in her life. She loves him so much. If she really gets conceived and get pregnant with a baby, she would love him and protect him with all her might. She absently placed a protective hand over her tummy. Nero noticed that Chloe is rubbing her abdomen absently. They both are naked and their limbs are a tangled mess. "Are you hungry baby?" he asked her, misunderstanding her movement.Chloe is startled by his question."No, why did you ask?" he made her eat the sandwich last night after they made love with each other. It's still 5 Am, and too early for breakfast.Neither of them could sleep for more than a few hours. Nero never relaxed completely. He was always on edge. 
Luis sneered at Nero. "Do you know who I am? Know your place before opening your mouth" Luis snapped at Nero. Nero smirked at Luis."I know exactly who you are. It's you who should know who I am, " he drawled. Luis is confused.His stature in this mansion is clearly above the stature of a mere bodyguard. To the outside world, he is the real Juan. How dare this guard talk back with him. "What do you mean? Don't you know I am close to the boss? You are just a bodyguard. What should I know about you? Now move away and let me talk to her" Luis demanded.Chloe is tensed that Nero might break some of his bones. If that happens, then his carefully constructed cover would be blown up and they will get into trouble. She let her palm rest in the middle of his back, and tried to soothe his anger.Nero chuckled at Luis's words. Luis glared at Nero. "You are a duplicate person
After he dealt with Luis, Nero led Chloe inside and asked the chef to prepare some breakfast for her. He prepared some pancakes and French toast.Nero sat beside Chloe to eat his breakfast. He is making sure that he is sitting a little farther away from Chloe so that no one would suspect about their relationship.He is aware of several eyes on them. Everyone around them might be curious or they might report everything back to Juan. But whatever the reason is, they have to be cautious.After they finished their breakfast, he received a call from an unknown number. He frowned looking at the number. But soon guessed it might be Juan.After all, he is the only one who knows this number apart from his father."Hello" Nero answered the call casually."Lucas, I think I will take you up on your offer" Juan directly came to the point. He called Nero by his fake name, which Nero is using in Mexico."Mr Fernando, what a surprise. And what offer
"What happened?" Chloe asked Nero when she found him looking outside the window. Nero was looking at the forest area that is spread around Juan's house. He is looking for anything that is out of place or can be a threat to them tomorrow when they are trying to escape from this place. "You need to eat and preserve your energy. You might have to run for a couple of hours tomorrow night. Sleep for as long as you need in the day. I don't think we can get to sleep tomorrow night" Nero told her everything without telling her anything. Chloe's eyes widened after listening to his words. She understood everything. "We are escaping tomorrow?" She asked with equal parts relief and equal parts dread. Nero noticed her fear. He sighed and turn to face her. She is standing a foot away from him. He gently laid his palms on her shoulders. "Chloe, don't worry. It might take us a couple of days to go back home, as the route
When they came back after their shopping, Chloe is surprised to see the house decorated for the party.There are curtains draped to the railing and flowers arranged in bunches every here and there.People are rushing here and there in a hurry. Chloe looked at Nero, who is eying everything with a blank face.His men were given temporary rooms in the basement until the party. Juan promised to give them proper rooms tomorrow.Nero just nodded his head, thinking it's not necessary."Lucas" Juan exclaimed happily, forcing Nero to look in his direction.Chloe became tense after listening to his voice."You said you will be gone for a week" Nero commented, making Juan laugh with mirth."Yes, initially I planned to stay for a week thinking that Chloe might need that time to adjust to this place. But when I heard she is doing ok, I couldn't stay away anymore. So I rushed to look at her for myself" he said eying Chloe from top to toe.
