Chloe could not believe Evan was still thinking about Jill, after everything she made to him, his feelings for her were alive yet. He should have loved her despite claiming otherwise. With those thoughts in mind, Chloe entered the house and she was following straight to her room when Emma stopped her before she reached the stairs. "Chloe, lunch is served. I was about to call you and Evan." Emma said gently."Thank you Emma, but I'm with a boring headache and I'd prefer to lay down a bit." Chloe simply said."Do you need any medicine?" Emma sounded worried."No, thanks. I already took it. It's just tiredness." Chloe answered."Ok, get well soon." Emma said not feeling convinced and Chloe just nodded and followed her way. Chloe closed the door behind her and sighed heavily. When did her life become an unprecedented romantic drama?Evan was trying to understand why he was so bothered when Chloe called him 'sugar'.

When she went downstairs, Evan and Emma were talking so she decided to take a walk at the beach alone.That place was a paradise indeed. Chloe thought her parents would love to go there someday, but then she remembered it was a private island. "This is not my reality." she thought out loud. As the air was getting cold, she embraced herself. After a few minutes, she felt big and warm hands touching her arms and hugging her from behind. That scent was unmistakable, so he didn't need to say a word. Chloe already knew who was. Her whole body shivered with that touch."I was looking for you." Evan said in her ear.She didn't answer. Chloe just wanted to feel that heat in silence, enjoying the sensation of their bodies together. She didn't know if it was the place or the man, but she felt comfortable in that moment."A penny for your thoughts." he said calmly while resting his chin on top of her head.

Chloe opened her eyes and blinked a few times to get used to the light. She felt the comfortable sheets under her body and it reminded her where she was. She quickly looked around checking if he was there. When she was about to sigh in relief, the door from the bathroom opened and a distracted Evan came out, wearing shorts and a towel around his neck. Chloe swallowed hard. How could a man be so perfect?"Enjoying the view, love?" he mocked as he towel-dried his hair.Chloe was embarrassed and got up from bed promptly, trying to ignore his presence. She made her way straight to the bathroom, but before she reached the door, Evan held her by waist and glued their bodies. "Good morning to you too." Evan said in her ear, teasing her."Mor…morning!" her voice came out weaker than expected.Evan gave a victorious smile and let her go. She ran into the bathroom and locked herself there for long minutes.When Chloe entered in the kitchen, only the maid was there, washing some dishes."Mornin

The couple joined them and Chloe was feeling so much better after Evan's support at the beach.Evan seemed to be another man. He was joking, playing with the kids, and sometimes he glanced at Chloe just to make sure she was ok. Chloe wondered if that version was the real one or if he was just playing a great role."Evan, I would like to discuss some business issues with you. Would you join me for a coffee in my office?" Richard said calmly."Sure. Shall we?" Evan asked and his father just nodded.They excused themselves to leave the table and Evan gave a quick kiss at Chloe's head before he followed his father.Chloe went to her room to take a shower while Emma and Elena went to the living room to play with the kids. When Richard and Evan were comfortable, the maid served the coffee and left the room. "What's wrong, dad? I don't believe we have a business
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 27: My Secret Place
Before Chloe answered if she was ready to the next step, Emma entered the kitchen with the kids saying she would like to taste that chocolate cake. Evan was still hugging Chloe when they arrived, which made that moment a little embarrassing for the couple."You two, get a room!" Emma mocked.Chloe blushed and tried to hide her face in Evan's chest. He just smiled and kissed her hair."We're leaving, don't worry." Evan stated."Where are you going?" Elena asked while she was stepping in."It's a secret place I would like to take Chloe." He said proudly.Emma and Elena glanced at each other as if that was a big deal. Evan rolled his eyes and took Chloe by the hand."Let's go! We need to enjoy the sunlight."After long minutes walking inside the tropical forest, they found a crystal clear water lake with several rocks around it and a big rocky opening at the bottom, which looked like a cave."That's amazing, Evan!""Are you ready to see the best part?" he asked and she nodded in affirmati
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 28: Useless Excuses
When Evan thought he wouldn't get more excited, Chloe moaned his name and asked him something like that. He lost his senses for a minute and was almost taking her panties off when he remembered his father's words saying Chloe was not like Jill. So Evan could not treat Chloe the same way he treated other women he used to f*ck."I can't do it." he said all of a sudden."What?" Chloe looked at him, shocked. She was still wrapped in his arms."I'm sorry, Chloe. We should not do it here." he didn't glance at her."How come? What are you talking about?" she got angry. "Evan, that's what you wanted since the beginning! And now that I'm all in, you…OMG! I can't believe it!" Chloe was so pissed off that she pushed him away and headed towards the edge of the lake to get out of that place. Evan was confused. He wanted to have sex with her more than anything, she made him crazy teasing him like that, but he was trying to do the right thing at the first time in his life. He knew Chloe was not so
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 29: An Old Friendship
Evan left the room without saying a word after his long shower. Chloe knew that kind of relationship would not be easy for both of them but she didn't understand why he couldn't let Jill go. Jill was like a ghost, always hunting them in their best moments. Chloe went to the bathroom, took an invigorating shower and thought about how she would act with Evan from that moment on. She needed to know if he felt at least attraction to her. If he desired her as much as she desired him.Determined to provoke him, Chloe finished her shower and chose a beautiful long, low-cut red dress that highlighted her white skin. The weather was pleasant that night, which favored her choice.When Chloe went downstairs, she heard a well-known male voice coming from the backyard and she could not believe when she saw Ryan standing in front her, with a beer in hand and a wide smile. "Ryan!" Chloe hugged him. "Hey gorgeous! Didn't know I would find you here. Not even my cousin, to be honest." he kissed her
The CEO's Secret Arrangement Chapter 30: What Goes Around Comes Around
"It's not what you think it is, Evan." Ryan tried to explain but his cousin was walking blindly towards him. "Chloe stumbled and I…"Ryan didn't have the chance to finish the sentence, he just removed his hands from Chloe's waist in time to get punched by Evan."I already told you, do not touch her." Evan grabbed Chloe's wrist and dragged her inside with no kindness.When they reached the room, Evan pushed her on the bed and stared at her waiting for a plausible answer."What are you trying to do, Chloe? What the f*ck were you doing with Ryan outside?" he asked angrily once Chloe didn't say a word."I just stumbled and he helped me! Why did you punch him? Are you insane?" Chloe got up from the bed but she was too dizzy to do it so she sat for a while."That's not what I saw! He was almost kissing you!" he yelled the last sentence."What kind of girl do you think I am, Evan? I'm not Jill!" Chloe challenged him with a glance.Evan clenched his hands in fists and fixed his gaze on her, di
