Chloe spent the night thinking about him. His scent was still on the sheets, making it impossible for Chloe to think of anything other than his body, his big hands touching her skin, his lips kissing her gently.When the sun came up, she decided to get up and take a cold shower to ward off those naughty thoughts.Chloe reached the kitchen feeling hungry. Her mother was cooking something and when she saw her daughter, she grinned."Good morning, beauty!" "Morning, mom!" Chloe kissed her mother's cheek. "What are you doing?""Bacon and mixed eggs, the way you like it.""Oh, God!" Chloe covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. She threw up some food she had eaten the day before. After washing her mouth, she went back to the kitchen."Sorry, mom. I think my stomach is not good today.""Are you ok? What happened?" Jane was worried."The smell of the food made me sick." "Chloe… Are you sure you're ok, darling? Are you not feeling anything else?""Don't worry, mother. I'm good. It's just
After a few days, Brianna's question still echoed in Chloe's mind. Had she done everything wrong?She just followed her heart after all. As much as she loved Evan, she couldn't let this love speak louder than her own principles.On the other hand, the fear of losing him forever was painful. During all those days, he didn't call her, not even once. Had he already given up? Maybe billionaires didn't have time to waste with confused girls. "Chloe, dear. You are sad, you are losing weight and every day you feel bad. Don't you think it's time to see the doctor? I'm worried about you." Jane said, looking at her daughter. "I'm fine, mom." Chloe replied faintly."Your father is training the staff today. Why don't you join us? You need to distract yourself.""Ok." Jane stared at her daughter in concern. Chloe avoided talking lately, she was always asleep and she threw up from time to time.Should Jane call Evan and tell him what was going on? Apparently, the young woman was just suffering
"Pregnant? How come?""Well, I believe you know how it happens, Ms. Rodriguez." the doctor said awkwardly."Doctor, are you sure about it? I mean, can there be an error in the exam?" Chloe was distressed.She looked at her mother, asking for support, but Jane was petrified."I feel sorry to say that the error rate in a blood test is less than 1%."Chloe had her eyes widened, her mouth half-open. That was unbelievable. "I will prescribe some medicines and advise you to see a specialist as soon as possible. You need to do vitamin replacement and pregnancy monitoring. In addition, you will be released soon. Take care, Ms. Rodriguez."The doctor left the room and Chloe kept her eyes on the door. Was it all a dream?"OMG! I'm gonna be a grandma!" Jane stated with bright eyes. Then she glanced at Chloe. "Darling, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!"When Chloe finally looked at Jane, her eyes were terrified. "I'm not ready for this, mother." she whispered. "I'm scared.""Don't worry, s
After the shock of seeing Evan standing in front of her, Jane didn't know how to act. Would Chloe like to see him? After all the stress that day brought, Jane feared that that visit would not do her daughter any good."Evan, Chloe is resting.""Don't lie to me, Jane. I know she was in the hospital." he was impatient.The middle-aged woman widened her eyes. "H-How do you know?" her voice faltered."It doesn't matter. I just wanna see her. May I come in?"Jane was speechless with Evan's intimidating stance. After everything he had done for that family, she couldn't deny such a request."Yes, please." He entered the house, feeling anxious. Without saying another word, Jane guided him to her daughter's room. After knocking on the door, she heard Chloe's weak voice."Come in."Jane opened the door cautiously, afraid of her daughter's reaction. "Someone is here to visit you, darling."Chloe slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the two people standing at the door. She h
Evan was pissed off. He didn't know if his anger was because he found out someone was trying to separate him from Chloe or if it was because Chloe didn't believe his words at all. She was the one who came closest to his heart, so she should know him better. Why all that insecurity? Just because he was a billionaire guy?If money meant anything, Evan would already have a big and happy family.Why didn't she give herself a chance to be happy? Wasn't it clear enough that he was willing to try?Maybe she didn't really love him. Maybe it was just a physical attraction.Evan snorted and hit the steering wheel angrily. She drove him crazy in so many ways. "What a stubborn girl!" he said.About who sent those photos to the magazine, Evan had a hunch, but he was going to check with the detective first. With that thought in mind, he accelerated the car to get to his apartment as quickly as possible.A couple of days passed and Chloe felt increasingly depressed. She couldn't understand how she
"I-I'm not hiding anything, Evan." she stated in a shaky voice."I see. You still don't trust me." he dropped her hand abruptly. When he spoke again, his voice was cold and distant. "Good night, Chloe."She closed the door and he drove away immediately.Chloe wrapped her arms around her body to keep herself warm. Once again, she had ruined everything.After a few days, the restaurant's grand opening had finally arrived. Jane and Carlos couldn't be happier and more euphoric, while Chloe smiled on the outside and slowly died on the inside.Evan never got in touch after that dinner. Had he decided to move on without her? Would he show up that night?The thought of seeing him warmed her heart and made her a little more excited, so she decided to go to the salon and buy a special outfit for that occasion. Perhaps it was the perfect time to tell Evan the truth.Chloe decided she was going to face her fears. She couldn't take any more suffering in advance. She missed him a lot.Evan was
That was the worst part of the pregnancy, Chloe thought. Having to go to the bathroom every five minutes made her nervous. Not to mention morning sickness.However, the feeling of carrying a life was wonderful. Two hearts beating within one body. Motherhood was really something divine.After touching up her makeup, Chloe came out of the bathroom feeling more confident. They were finally going to form a real family! Chloe even imagined Evan buying baby stuff. She smiled at that thought.Before she reached the bar to find Evan, a waiter approached her and said."Excuse me, Ms. Rodriguez. Mr. Bailey asked to inform that he is waiting for you in the parking lot."Chloe frowned. Maybe it was better to have a little privacy to tell Evan the truth.Chloe thanked the waiter and headed for the parking lot right away.When she approached Evan's car, he was not there. Chloe shivered when she felt a strange sensation.She looked around and when her eyes returned to the car, there was a man stand
Evan ran back to the restaurant. Maybe she was still around. He needed to act fast."Evan?" Jane found him at the front door. "What happened? Why are you running?""I'm sorry, Jane." he said with regret."Why? What happened?" she asked distressed."It's Chloe." he felt a twinge in his heart. "I think she was taken.""Taken?" "I'm ready, let's go." Carlos said as he walked towards them. "What's wrong? Why are you pale?" he looked at his wife."Mr. Rodriguez, please. I need to know if there is any cameras here.""What's going on? Yes, we have cameras! They stay connected in my office." Carlos was confused."I need to check them out now." Evan tried to stay calm."Why do you think she was taken?" Jane asked in a choked voice."Because I found this on the parking lot floor, next to my car." Evan showed the shoe."I can't believe it! No! Is it a joke? Where's my daughter?" Jane screamed as tears welled up in her eyes. "Who would do that?""That's what I'm going to find out." Evan stated co
