The light coming in through the window made Chloe lazily open her eyes. She blinked a few times to get used to the light and then looked around. Her head hurt, reminding her of last night's wine glasses."Sh*t!" she complained while she tried to get up from bed.She went to the bathroom, did her morning hygiene and then went straight to the kitchen.Chloe was bent over looking for something to eat in the fridge when she heard that voice."You look sexy in the morning."She froze and took a few seconds to turn around slowly. The owner of that voice that inhabited her wildest dreams was there. Her eyes were widened and she held her breath when she saw him, standing in front of her. The smell of freshly bathed made her shiver. He was putting cufflinks on his shirt and glanced at her quickly."My t-shirts look better on you." he smirked. "But you look even better when you're wearing nothing."Chloe swallowed hard. Contrary to what she had imagined, he was intimidating even at home."What
As night fell, Chloe became more nervous. She spent all day researching ways to seduce a billionaire on the internet but every single thing she read made her even more concerned.Chloe decided to explore her new closet and check if she had a good lingerie to wear, because the old one was not good enough. Deep down, Chloe wanted Evan to desire her as much as she desired him.She found a drawer full of lingerie in all colors and shapes. All of them were sexy, tiny and lacy."He really thinks about everything, huh?" she chose a black one and smirked. "Let's see how bossy you are, Mr. Bailey."Chloe dressed up and sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.A few hours passed and he was late. Chloe poured herself a glass of wine to control her anxiety. When she went to fill the glass for the third time, he unlocked the door. That wooden smell that she loved quickly invaded the environment."I told you not to drink tonight." he said with that cold voice."You're late." She pointed
After a wild night, Evan opened his eyes slowly to get used to the light. When he looked at the empty space beside him, he got confused. Where was she?As he realized that Chloe was nowhere in the room, he took a quick shower and went to look for her in the apartment. As soon as his feet touched the living room, he felt the smell of food that made his stomach growl. She kept him so busy all night that he didn't even remember to eat.Evan grinned when his thoughts went to last night. Who could have imagined that that innocent face would like to make love that much? She was definitely made for him.When he entered the kitchen, Chloe had her back to him, doing the dishes. She was wearing only his t-shirt and panties. That image made his body warm up and his excitement became apparent."I could get used to this view easily." he said while hugging her from behind.She jumped in fright. "Evan!" she scolded. "Don't you make any noise when you walk?"He kissed her neck and said. "No. Gods us
When Evan arrived at home late that day, Chloe was seated on the armchair in front of the glass window. She was watching Manhattan at night. As she didn't move when he stepped in, Evan walked toward her and he bent down to kiss her neck from behind. She gave a sad smile and her reaction didn't go unnoticed by him."What's wrong?" Evan asked while he turned around to stop in front of her.He lifted her chin gently with two fingers. "Were you crying?""No." she gave an automatic answer and lowered her head."Look at me, Chloe." he raised his eyebrows and crouched to glance into her eyes. "What happened?"She signed heavily and decided to be honest with him. "My mom called. My father is getting worse. He doesn't want to eat anymore. Nor take the meds." she paused for a few seconds before confess. "I don't know what to do."Evan was stunned to see her cry. A lot of things were going through his mind at that moment but somehow, her silent tears left him destabilized.He stroked her face an
When they reached her parents' house, Chloe was so nervous that her hands were sweating. Evan parked the car and glanced at her."Are you ready?" "Yes, yes!" her nervousness was palpable.Evan smiled and held her face with both hands, making her look into his eyes."Everything is going to be fine. They are your parents. And I'm here for you."He glued their lips in a soft and gentle kiss."Thank you." she said as she broke the kiss and opened her eyes.The next few moments were of pure joy for Chloe. While she hugged and cried with her parents, Evan stood a little further away, leaning against the car, just watching."Mom, dad, I need to introduce you to my boyfriend. Please, treat him well! He's such a nice guy." Chloe warned while signaling Evan to go to them."This is Evan and they are Jane and Carlos." "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez." Evan said politely."It's a pleasure to have you here, Evan! Come on in, the lunch is ready!" Jane said happily. Carlos was just watchi
Chloe was on cloud nine after spending a wonderful weekend with her parents. She didn't know she missed them that much. Evan was a gentleman and he showed an affectionate version during all the moments they spent together. About the wedding gift, Chloe still didn't believe she owned two very well-located establishments. Her parents were so excited about the idea of finally having an occupation again, that Carlos even accepted the proposed treatment.After a brief private conversation between the young couple, Evan assured Chloe that the gift was independent of the contract. She thought that if she wasn't already in love with him, she would fall in love at that moment.For the first time, the family spent the weekend making plans for the future."Oh my God, I can't believe you're here!" Brianna said while she entered Chloe's office with two mugs in hands. "Welcome back!""I missed you too, Bri!" Chloe took one mug."Oh, come on! You didn't even call me once!" Brianna scolded. "But I fo
Chloe walked undirected through the streets of NYC. She felt the cold night air hit her face and she took a deep breath. Her feet were aching from walking so much, but nothing compared to the emptiness in her heart.After listening to Evan and Victor's conversation, Chloe just grabbed her bag and left that place. With the pain in her chest and the confusion in her mind, she just walked, aimlessly, without reason. She needed to stay away from that place, she needed to stay away from him.Hours passed before she finally sat on a bench in the park. She was still shocked by the way Evan made her fall in love with him. If it was all a game for him, why did he have to go that far?Tears were streaming down her face and she didn't have the strength to dry them.How could she have been so naive? Why did she give her heart to a selfish CEO who only knew how to manipulate people?When Victor left, Evan sighed heavily. He knew that was wrong, but it was the only way he could protect Chloe at tha
Evan woke up with a terrible migraine due to a bad night's sleep and one less bottle of whiskey in his bar.He got up slowly and looked around. She was not there.Flashes of yesterday's events came through his mind. After Josh informed him that Chloe was at Brianna's house, Evan thought about going there, but Tyler advised him not to go. He and Tyler drank all night and Evan didn't know how his friend left his apartment, but thanked him for being alone at that moment.After a shower and a black coffee without sugar, Evan was feeling better. He went to his office thinking about what he would say when he met Chloe there.Chloe said goodbye to her friend with a hug after asking her one last favor. She spent the night thinking about what to do and now she had made her decision.That story had already gone too far and she didn't want to be hurt anymore.Brianna texted Chloe that Mr. Bailey had arrived at the office, then she could act safely. Chloe took advantage of the moment and ran to
