Chloe stared at the phone screen. It kept ringing continuously, increasing the tension in her heart rapidly. Dr Chen is her mother's assigned doctor. In any situation, he calls her and most of the time, it's not good. Especially, when he calls out of his regular time. After a few seconds of ringing, the phone turned silent, numbing her senses along. Inhaling a deep breath she dialed his number but his call appeared again. This time she picked up the call immediately. "Dr Chen?" Her tone was low and scared. "Thank God you received the call, Chloe. Did I disturb you?" She shook her head. "No, of course not! Is..." She gulped before speaking again, "Is everything alright, doctor?""Oh, of course, it is..." He said casually. "I have news for you, a good one so I called you this time." He explained and Chloe leaned on the chair in relief. Her body just lost all the weight and she felt so light like the wind. "What is the news Doctor?" Her fear turned into curiosity now. Dr Chen smil
"What!?" Melissa almost screamed but Chloe covered her mouth and glared at her. "Shh! Don't scream!" Again she watched the little fellow and huffed in relief when she find him busy with his toys. Turning her gaze to her best friend, Chloe leaned against the wall tiredly. "I really don't know what to do now. He even made me sign the contract for that..." She muttered helplessly and sighed heavily. Melissa did not know what to say. "Well, it's worst than being in debt. The more you will be close to that man, your barrier will lessen from the truth you are hiding, Belle..." "I know. One year is too long to survive in a lie. Not even a month passed and I am already tired, Melissa." Her tone started breaking emotionally. Both friends stayed silent for some time and then suddenly a thought crossed Melissa's mind. She stood straight in excitement. "Wait, isn't the Duke impotent?" "Huh!?" Chloe did not understand at first but then the realisation hit her all of a sudden. She also heard
'Get on the bed.' The cold words fell, freezing her on the place. Chloe blankly stared at the cold man. Who the hell turned so direct with such a thing!? Get on the bed? Well, she did not expect him to come to her romantically either. But, still, wasn't it too much? Watching her standing like a statue, he frowned, "Why are you still not moving?" "Ah! ye-yeah... I am..." She gulped and took a step forward. Her hands and feet were sweating in fear. Reaching near the bed she paused. "I... I can't." She blurted out those words. "Why not?" Alexander walked forward. "Do you forget the contract you signed?" "Umm... I can but not now... Not tonight. I... I am having my that time in a month." She muttered suddenly obsessed with her fingers. "What time?" Alexander was confused. What is wrong with this woman? "Menstruation..." Her tone turned even lower in embarrassment. Alexander "....." How does sleeping matter with her monthly? What is wrong with this woman!? A deep frown wrinkled h
Time ticked and Chloe laid the same way in his arms. Unaware of time, Chloe was wide awake. His steady breaths were falling on her neck, Announcing his inactive nervous system and tickling all her hyperactive nerves. Alexander kept his promise. Other than holding her, he did not go any further. His genuine tone and considerate action have given her a sense of security. He might be a cold man in his usual appearance but till now she never felt insecure in an abusive way. He might hate her, scold her, but still he was the safest she has come across. Even when the kiss happened between them, it was consensual. Almost feels like a kind man is hiding beneath his tough personality. Slowly, she turned around to his face. Yeah, she was right. He has fallen asleep. And for the first time, she is facing the sleeping Alexander Rossi. Somehow, it hits differently. Perhaps, a little bit dreamy. She could not help but check him out. Undoubtedly, he is more breathtaking from the close proxima
The situation was quite intense for Chloe. She laid steel, not daring to move and heard a steady sigh close to her ear. "You can go now." After a few moments, she heard his words again. This surprised her, however, she didn't have to tell again and immediately rolled off the bed. "I will be leaving then." Murmuring those words she rushed out of the room without sparing a single glance at the man. If she looked at him, she would have seen the amusement in his face. He already sensed her nervousness and let her go. When Chloe entered Leonor's room with hasty steps, she sighed in relief. The little fellow is still sleeping. Tiptoeing, she walked toward the bed and carefully tucked herself under the quilt beside the little guy. As usual, she wrapped her arms around him and lay peacefully. There is still enough time to start their regular day. She could get some more sleep, this time without any tension. ******** In the room, Alexander leaned on the bed, eyeing the huge wall clock
Chloe entered the car, following Alexander and finally caught her breath. This man is too much! They are even five minutes earlier today than their regular days! How could he blame her for being late? Flickering her eyes in annoyance, she looked out of the car window. Because of the father and son, she couldn't eat her breakfast well! What were they punishing her for? Guessing for a second, she dropped Leo's name and only focused on Alexander. Of course, that little fellow would never try to irritate her but his father. Surely, he was intentional. She watched him from the corner of her eyes. His recent behaviour is slightly weird. "But why?" She murmured to herself. Immediately Alexander turned to her with a frown. He was in a good mood after a long time of sleep. But, this woman had to ruin it! Now, what is she even blurting? "What are you blabbering now?" He snapped at her. Chloe did not realise she uttered her words loudly and but her tongue. Shaking her head she smiled coyly
At lunch time, Chloe went to the canteen and find all the women in pants. "So, he really made that impeccable change here..." She muttered under her breath before finding her seat in the corner. As usual, she was alone in her seat. While she was eating and watching Leo's sent photos, a group of three women came to the next table. Most times the tables around her remained empty but she came down at the proper lunchtime today, so it's a rush time in the canteen. At first, she did not mind those women but slowly, their words drowned her into their conversation. Woman 1: "I was too shocked getting the sudden notice this morning. I mean, who made that abrupt decision?" 'Absolutely!' Chloe agreed in her mind, still staring at her phone. Woman 2: "Yeah, same. But, whatever it is, this is one of the best rules I have come across so far. I mean, to create a competitive look was too time consuming and skirts also make an uncomfortable situation for us, don't you agree girls?" Three of th
Alexander was certain that the essence of his sleep was that particular rosy scent. However, his day-dream broke that very night when he once again fell asleep with Chloe beside him. He slept for over six hours this time and the next morning, he once again called his psychiatrist. Hearing what happened, Riley nodded her head in agreement. In her thirty years of career, she has witnessed lots of miracles. Mind is the only part of the human body that does not exist visibly but the action of hormones which has greater influence in our entire life. Every psyche is different and so does their cures. For Alexander and Leonor, the cure turned out a simple woman. The more Riely gets to know about Chloe, the more she gets curious to know about her. After entering the palace, she changed lots of equations and solved knotted problems that seemed impossible to solve. Riley also realised one special thing. Alexander did not only respond around her, but he also started growing his feelings for
