The next morning, Chloe woke up feeling much better than last night. The sun rays peeking from behind the curtains is telling her that she slept late.
Everything from the last 24 hours began to catch up to her and her entire frame began to get tensed.
"Relax" she heard Nero whispering in her ear.
She relaxed instantly.
Belatedly she noticed that Nero is spooning her from behind. One of his arm is protectively wrapped around her waist and she is resting her head on his other shoulder.
She turned in his hold and he let her. Then she hugged him as tightly as she could.
Nero is surprised by this gesture, but he returned the hug and kissed her on her head.
Chloe remembered everything that happened yesterday since the moment she was tricked and kidnapped by her father and then her escape attempt.
She remember how she ended up in that forest as constant panic of being captured by her kidnapers gripped her heart lik
After Nero left for his work, Chloe too showered and wrapped her wet body with the same towel that he used. She began to feel depressed as soon as he left, so she is trying to comfort herself. Only he can do that. Now that he is not here, she is using his clothes and towel, which carries his unique manly scent. She opened the closet and picked one of his t shirts and his boxers. As she doesn't know what happened to her clothes, she has to make do with out a Bra. She dressed herself in his shirt and his boxers. His shirt reached just below her butt cheeks, but it's loose on her frame. The sleeves kept slipping off of her shoulders, exposing the upper swells of her breasts. She kept pulling them back in place. His boxers fit snugly over her hips and they barely reach past her butt cheeks. She looked at the breakfast which is spread over the dining table. She is not hungry. Her thoughts kept going back to yesterday. She couldn't help the shiver w
Chloe changed in to another boxers of his, as the previous one was ruined. They enjoyed their lunch with small talk. Chloe relaxed the moment she saw Nero, so now she is not on edge constantly. Nero changed from his suit and is now wearing his track shorts with out a shirt. Matteo was told to call him only if it's important. So he too began to relax. After lunch, they sat in the living room. Chloe was watching tv, and he began to work on his laptop. Slowly her eyes began to get heavy, so she laid down on the couch to take a nap. But she is plaugued by bad dreams. She dreamt that she is running away from her kidnapers and this time instead of Nero, they found her. When they were forcefully injecting her the drug they were talking about in the warehouse, she woke up gasping for breath. "No" she cried with horror. When Nero looked at her disheveled state, he understood that she must have had a dream. He placed his laptop a
To get her mind off of things, Nero brought some of her books that he saw that night, when she slept on them. Chloe thought that would be for the best. He ordered some dinner for them. When Chloe offered to cook, he refused immediately. "You need to rest. It's not good to tire your body so soon" he told her. When she was feeling like he must not have liked the lunch she cooked, he narrowed his eyes, understanding where her mind. "It's not like I didn't like the lunch you cooked Chloe. Infact I liked it alot. I usually don't eat home cooked food. There is chef in this building, who usually cook all my meals for me. I enjoyed yours better than his. But you need to relax. Don't tire yourself just yet" he assured her softly. When she heard his words, she blushed. After that, they both got busy with their own works. They had their dinner while doing their works. Nero is busy with his work and Chloe is studying the study materi
"Do you think I am a charity case, Nero? I know you are rich. But I don't want your money. You can keep it. If you feel embarrassed that I am working in a cafe, then we should stop this. I will work, and I am capable enough to earn for myself" she snapped at him. Nero expected this. She is stubborn as hell, so he knows she will not agree easily. But looking at her like that yesterday made him realize that, if it comes to her safety, there is no way he would compromise. She tried to move away from him again. But he is not letting her go. Their position is too intimate for this talk. She is literally lying on him, with her shirt polled around her waist and one of his arms is currently wrapped around her waist and the other one is on her butt. Her t-shirt slipped from her shoulders and now she can feel that it's showing a lot of cleavage. Why he wants to have this conversation in this position is beyond her. But she is too angry with this bossy man
Chloe looked sensed his presence behind her. Slowly she turned her head towards him and looked at his face. His eyes are soft and they are looking directly into her tear-filled eyes. He sighed with regret. She always makes his heart soft for her. None of them said a word, said looked at each other silently. Both of them are feeling sorry for snapping at each other. Slowly she stood up from the ground. When he didn't say anything at all, she thought he must be still angry. She is not sure how to tell him that she is sorry. Nero thought she must be crying because he snapped at her. He didn't know how to tell her that he is sorry. He looked at what she is wearing. Today she is wearing one of his shirts. It's black and it looks like a dress on her. He couldn't see of she is wearing his boxers or not. As usual her hair tied into a messy bun. No matter whatever she is wearing, he always finds her sexy.
Nero already knows Chloe's father is a scum bag. When Nero heard how her father treated her since she was just a kid, he wanted to kill him by himself this time. No one should go through what she had gone through in her life. Now he understood why she wanted to keep working and earn her living. She already suffered once when her mother passed away and she had to struggle to even eat properly. She is afraid to lose control of her life again. She is scared to trust someone with her life again. She is scared that they might let her down as her father did. Nero is determined to earn her trust. She had to pick up everything after her mother passed away because her father is a drunkard and couldn't look past his own selfish needs. "You can work in liquid tonic," Nero said after a couple of minutes of silence. That perked Chloe up. "Really?" She asked excitedly and turned to look at him. He looked at her softly. She is l
Chloe looked at the small box which is gift-wrapped. She looked at the gift curiously. She opened it slowly, to reveal a Tiffany's box. Even she knew what would a Tiffany box would contain. "This is too much. I can't take this" she tried to return it, but Nero refused. "First you need to open it to see if you like it or not. Open it" he spiked her curiosity. Reluctantly she opened the box and gasped at what she found inside. It's a heart-shaped small diamond pendant, which is hanging by a thin platinum chain. "Wow," she whispered at the beauty of the pendant. Nero picked up the chain and hooked it around her neck and locked it. Chloe realized what she is doing. "No no, I cannot accept this. It's too expensive" she tried to remove it but failed. Nero laughed at her confused face. "It's locked Chole. I know you would refuse to accept it. But try to think about it this way. This is m
After their breakfast, they started to drive back to the city. As she expected, Nero didn't drive her towards their apartment. But instead, he stopped infront of a spa and salon. Chloe looked at the famous spa with confusion. "Why are we stopping here?" She asked him with confusion. Nero unfastened his seat belt and turned towards her. He took her palm in his and kissed her knuckles softly. "This is my second gift for you. Today I wanted to pamper you. So I booked some Salon and spa services for you. It's managed by one of the wife's of my men. You will be safe here. I will pick you up after you are done. Ok" he explained. "But...." She was about to reject, but he stopped her with his index finger placed on her lips. "Do you remember what I told you last night?" he asked softly. 'I will give you 21 more gifts for all the birthday's I missed' Chloe remembered his words. So she nodded her head. "Good, now
