Chloe's eyes widened. Her breath almost stopped at the closeness. His fresh masculine scent tickled her nostrils and the domineering aura messed up with her brain cells. Her breath heaved up and she lowered her eyes. "W... what are you d-doing!?" "Why? Didn't you say you wanna take care of me... Privately? I am just asking you to do that, Miss Isabelle." Chloe's breath hitched. The way her name rolled off his tongue made her blank. She looked up at him and their eyes met. This is the second time Alexander watching her closely. Her dark eyes were big and watery. It feels like a pleasant sea and he can dive in them to find his peace. Her rosy lips were plump and kissable, reminding him of their first but accidental kiss. Her naturally blushed cheeks made her so delicate and edible at the same time... His body tightened and his lower part hardened. All he wanted to do is have his way with this woman. "I... I didn't m-mean tha..t," Chloe mumbled with a shaky tone and broke the whim
Chloe was right, the little fellow was waiting for her. Leonor has become so dependent on her presence that he needs Chloe around him all the time. In his mind, he definitely wasn't pleased when she went out for work. However, he never stopped her. His little heart is scared to lose her. So, he chose another way to always remain connected to his new mother through texts and his daily images. Waiting for her to have dinner, became a part of his life nowadays. But, she is late today. On other days, she would be home just on dinner time. His little heart is concerned for her. Entering the mansion, Chloe finds him sitting on the sofa and staring at the door. Her heart fluttered at the sight and she immediately rushed by his side. "Hey, my pretty boy. Were you waiting here for me?" She asked with a soft smile. Leonor frowned, not at all satisfied with her late appearance. He looked up at the wall clock and scoffed silently. Chloe turned her gaze to Igor and Daniel, asking the reason
Unlike Alexander, Chloe wasn't aware of the rumour going on. She is absolutely absorbed in maintaining her daily routine with Leonor, before going to work. She came from a background where she needed to hear lots of accusations and slowly, she has turned her ears deaf and mind blank for gossip around her. When she and Leonor got ready to go to the breakfast table, Daniel had no choice but to interrupt, "Young Mistress, wouldn't it be better if you and little master eat your breakfast in the gazebo today? Under the fresh air and morning light." Chloe was confused at the suggestion. "But why? You know, Leonor is not ready for that, right?" "I know, young Mistress. It was just a suggestion. I was thinking if we know how much our little master has progressed." Daniel smiled, but in his heart, he felt pressure. If Young Mistress go down and faces Master then God knows what would happen! It's better for her to not see him right after the gossip. Unaware of his intention, Chloe finds t
Chloe yawned, feeling bored. Her life has turned crazy at this point! She is assigned to do literally nothing! And this is not even a park where she could roam around to freshen her mind. It's always sitting in the chair. At lunch time, when Cameron stood up to bring Alexander's lunch, Chloe interrupted. "Ast. Cameron..." "Yes, ma'am?" "Can I go instead of you?" She asked, hesitant. Cameron blinked, slightly confused. And when realised this, he immediately shook his head. "What are you saying, ma'am? It's not your work." Chloe "....." "Will you please tell me what is my work then?" She whined in annoyance. "No work is less for me. I will go. Moreover, you are always busy, so I will also bring your lunch along." Cameron was startled. Which noble lady, who is the dutchess of Iquarayon now, would demand such a ludicrous thing!? Is it even logical? He lowered his head with a gloomy face, "Young Mistress, please forgive me. I can not let you do this."Chloe knew he would deny her.
With force, Alexander throw her in the car and locked themselves in the little space of luxury. Chloe gasped at his action. "Wh... what a...re you d-doing!?" She stuttered badly. Her throat turned dry. Instead of answering her question, those cold emerald eyes watched her for a long time. Her appearance was vivid and unlike those unexpected moments of their closeness, he is intentional today. Her dark watery eyes. Long lashes. little but pointed nose. High cheekbones and those heart-shaped rosey lips, all were attractive. She has that 'timid but forcefully strong' look, giving away her fears. He stayed silent for some time and then, "What were you doing there?" Chloe blinked. After that storming entry, she did not really expect that blank question but harder accusations or worst, some cruel scolding and punishment. Gulping hard, she lowered her eyes, "I... I was just trying to do some work." "By destroying a million euro worth painting? Do you find it funny?" His tone chilled d
In the Evans Manor... Harper Evans closed his eyes in satisfaction with a sip of his cold coconut smoothie. His mind is so light weight since his business was saved. The master stroke worked without losing anything. Looking at the clear sunlight, he sighed in relief, "It was so easy to fool Rossis, Don't you think, Damien?" He asked, full of arrogance. However, Damien could not remain calm for some reason. Since that day, there was a fear in him, always growing with time. What if they were caught? But he got no intention to disturb his master and smiled professionally, "Master is so well thought." Harper laughed foolishly. "Ain't I, huh? I know I am good." He took another sip of his drink leisurely. Damien was silent for a moment before speaking, "Master... I have a suggestion." He uttered, praying to God for him to listen. Harper paused and then looked him up and down. "You?" Staring at him for a second he laughed Sarcastically. "You have a suggestion, heh? Well, I am in a gen
Life has never been easy for Chloe. A fatherless misbegotten child, who grew up with curses and ignorance. She lost everything before it ever came to her. But suddenly, one day she found a treasure. A sweet little treasure who forced her to suppress the scars and walk along with him, accepting all odds. However, God seems not so pleased with her that he even sends something in her way as a surprise, which could end her life miserably. And that surprise was just standing in front of her eyes... "Young Mistress, your father has sent you your favourite maid Melissa Quinn as the dowry. I hope someone from home would lighten up your heart..."Yeah, the surprise was none other than her best friend, Melissa. Who had no idea of anything and appeared at the order of her master. Nothing was straight at her side either. The moment her eyes fell on Chloe, she turned numb. All she knew, she needed to follow the instruction of her master and give information about the young Mistress of the Ross
Chloe did not respond to her friend's remarks, instead, he stared at the little Leo's drawing. This is not the first time she watched his drawing. He did it before and it felt like, he has that exceptional talent in this particular subject. She caressed his hair and watched him. For a three years old, this little guy is mature. Sometimes, he even behaves like an adult. Disciplined and well behaved. Somewhat cold but his condition is different than other children of his age. Still, it's unnoticeable at the first few glances unless one really gets close to him. And Chloe wants to help this little fellow before she leave. She won't stay here for the life time but to a certain time. And then, she has to go. Before that, she would try her best to become a mother for this sweet little soul and make him sociable, unlike his cold hearted father. At the thought of Alexander, her brows furrowed. She just made a huge trouble and he did not do anything yet? How is it possible that he let her
