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
Chloe looked around. They are in a fine restaurant with a huge space. However, the whole place was empty but only two people. That's them. Alexander is sitting on the opposite, going through the menu. Gradually, he lost his patience and tossed the menu card on the table before calling the waiter, who was standing a bit away from them. Everyone was scared today. In the early morning, the Duke has arrived with a woman. God knows what's his plan but their life was in skate if anything goes wrong. So, everyone just rolled their sleeves and began working. "Yes sir? What would you like to have?" The waiter asked as politely as he could go. Alexander ordered their regular breakfast and then turned to Chloe. "What do you want?" Chloe blinked and shook her head. "I am fine with anything." She replied. With a nod, Alex ordered the same thing for her. She was a little startled. Does not matter if that was just a courtesy, but he actually asked her opinion. Chloe has always been following p
Alexander did not move for a good minute. That woman argued with him again, but this time he got to know another side of her. The part of motherhood. That he wished to have in his childhood. This woman resembles his mother in many ways. Not just their innocent and kind appearance but their likes and gestures. However, he has never seen his mother fighting for rights. Not for her neither for him. In childhood, he wanted his mother to fight for him just like Chloe did now. However, his mother never took the ground and always stays behind and received all abuse. When he was being disciplined by his father in cruel ways, his mother used to stay in one corner and shed tears that he despised. So for him, this has been the only way to live and he is the same with his son, excluding the physical abuses. Chloe is just a maid and she is scared at every point to be caught. However, her absolute fears did not stop her to stand up for Leonor. She is not even his real mother. Just a woman, Leo
Alexander sent them home that day. There is no way he is gonna endure their PDA the entire time. Chloe did not mind either. She is happy to spend time with the little Leo. And Leonor's happiness is sky-high. In the afternoon They were spending peaceful time in the gazebo. While Chloe was teaching him how to draw Swan, Melissa prepared their afternoon snacks. When Leo is with Chloe he felt most secure. During that time he wouldn't bother anything around him and only concentrate on his work. So, the words spoken around him were safe Now-a-days. "Did you visit Jessica these days?" Melissa asked, carefully taking a look at the little fellow. Even though he won't eavesdrop on their words, it's always safe to be cautious. Taking a bite of a vanilla cake, Chloe shook her head. "After she was transferred to the first tier, I couldn't get time to visit her. Without doing any work, I am living the busiest life..." She sighed. "That's true. But, you should find a bit of time for her. After
