Chloe’s POV“Open up Flynn, we’re just going to check to see what’s in your mouth okay?” A female nurse tried convincing Flynn, who actually fell for it. She etched closer to him in my arms, and then she had a torch shun into his mouth and began her examination.Right after that, they had his vital signs checked, and in a couple of minutes it was all a wrap. I stayed in the hospital ward bed, with Flynn still curled up in my arms as I rocked and hummed him a tone trying to put him to sleep.I ran my hands down his sweater, and then gave him a soft peck on the forehead just when he had his eyes shut.‘He’s so cute,’ I thought to myself as I sat silently watching him sleep.The room door cracked opened, I gesture for the person coming to keep it down, When Flynn stop fussy, I lift my eyes up to see who had come in and found Lucas staring back at me. He had his hands shoved into the pockets of his pants as he stared back at me.I swallowed nervously seeing the look in his eyes wondering

Chloe’s POVFlynn’s laughter filled the quiet room, breaking through the walls I’d ride to build around myself. I watched from a distance as I rested myself on the frame of the kitchen door as Lucas played with him on the floor.With each day that draws by, he seems more alive, more connected, and more curious about the world around him.He was babbling endlessly with spit bubbles forming at the corner of his lips, reaching out to grab things within his reach like Lucas's hair. The once fragile body was now waxing stronger, it was a heartwarming sight to always behold.It was indeed such a beautiful thing to see, but I'm supposed to be taking a step back and immersing myself deeply in the moments so I don't get too attached. Getting too attached to him would make my feelings grow more for Lucas, and I was trying to curb that.I heaved out heavily, playing with the tips of my hair. As much as I tried to pull away,

Chloe’s POVIt has been more than two days now, and I haven’t been able to shake off the events that played out the previous days. The revelation I saw about who the Lucas family truly is, the mess my brother got himself into and Lucas willingly stepping in to save the day.They all weighed heavily on my mind, and no matter the activities I tried engaging myself in to escape from my thoughts, it just wouldn't work. I kept thinking about how Lucas's father had built his empire on crimes, and how Lucas might also have a role in all of it.I couldn't bring myself to reconcile the Lucas I was still getting to know with the version of him the revelation had started making me paint out.Seeing that engaging myself in a lot of chores and activities wasn't helping out, I thought about sitting and resting it out, but that wouldn't be an option for today as the day was going to be quite a busy one.I would be he

Chloe’s POV“Thirty minutes”That was all it took for Lucas to have my mood spoiled without hesitation. The repeated buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me out of the little random thought in my head. “Where are you?” Lucas bass voice hit my ear just as I answer the phone.“Are you okay?” Lucas surprisingly sounded panicked from the other end of the call. But what I couldn't understand was why he sounded utterly bothered over nothing."Yes?" I answered unsurely.“I heard there's been an accident on your route, I'm calling to be sure you're okay,” He hurriedly said.I paused with my jaws dropped slightly, staring into the wall in front of me. Trying to figure out how the hell that had anything to do with me. Remembering I’d indeed seen a car surrounded by onlookers I wondered what it was that had happened then. So there had been an accident…“So I heard too,” I respo

Chloe’s POVThe unease in my stomach swirled faster as realization dawned, slow and horrified, across my face. Seeing that Lucas was standing right behind me.“L—Lucas,” I stuttered trying to figure out how on earth he’d been able to track us down to the restaurant. And even for the fact that he’d ignored all the paparazzi right outside the hotel and had chosen to walk in.“We’re leaving now!” He cuts in.A pang hit my chest, at his direct order. But all I could do was just to stay frozen on a spot not knowing what else to say or do.“What makes you think, you can just come in here and have our wonderful dinner interrupted?” Alexander said.“Plus we just got started, am I right,” He added and this time placed a hand over my wrist as he met my eyes with a sardonic smile. A storm of emotions clouded Alex’s eyes, and I resisted the urge to pull my hand off the table into my lap. Instead, I had my eyes glued to the meal in front of me knowing there was bound to be a show and even worse,
