CHAPTER 131 NATHAN’S POV Getting into the car, I hit my fist on the steering as I felt angry with myself. I didn’t want to do this but Cameron kept forcing me. Seeing her so hurt really made me feel bad, I couldn’t bare to see her that sad. Cameron was right after all, I had feelings for her. After we seperated, I had thought all my feelings would die down but I guess I was lying to myself. What happened today just made me realize the truth. Turning on the engine, I drove speedily to my house as I couldn’t think properly. After what I had witnessed, I knew she was broken. I had broken her so badly that I wasn’t sure she could recover that easily. Seeing the way she was fighting back her pool of tears just made my heart ache so much. I loved Adele so much and I could practically do anything for her, all of this was just a stupid plan that I was following. I hated everything that was suddenly happening, wanting all of this to be over. I wished I could reverse the ti

133As I stumbled out of the party, my head was spinning. I couldn't believe what Lily had just said to me. She had been relentless in her attempts to trigger me, but I refused to give her the satisfaction.I stood outside the patio, breathing in some fresh air and trying to calm myself. I felt angry at myself for letting Lily drag me into a war of words in public, for letting her get to me like that. I felt slightly embarrassed and very triggered as I remembered her smirking and condescending demeanor, and to top it all off, the proud manner she talked to me. It was incredibly insulting.All because of Nathan.A part of me argued that it wasn't his fault, that he wasn't responsible for the way his mistress behaved to me or anybody else, but I didn't care. He should have stopped this, he should have kept her on a short leash. Instead he stood aside and let her attack me, the mother of his daughter, and he was nowhere to be found.I decided to abandon the party and go home. I was havin

135I woke up in the middle of the night, my body tangled up with Chloe's. The warmth of her body next to mine was comforting, but I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that came with it. I had been using her, using our history to try and get back at Eduardo. And now, here we were, in bed together, after a night of passion.I felt her stir, her warm breasts rubbing against my chest as she reached to wrap her arms around me."Are you awake?" I whispered, not sure if she heard me."Yeah." She replied quietly.We lay there in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company. But then Chloe spoke up, breaking the silence."Why are you still with Lily, Nathan?" she asked me, her voice soft and hesitant.I knew this question was coming, but that didn't make it any easier to answer. "I wanted to get your attention," I admitted, the words leaving my lips before I even realized what I was saying.Chloe's eyes widened in surprise. "What?""I wanted you to notice me," I continued. "I want

ChloeNathan's departure left a palpable void in the house. Adele clung to him, reluctant to let go, as he bid her farewell. I stood by the door, watching them with a bittersweet smile. As Nathan stepped out into the sunlight, he turned to look back at us, a final wave of goodbye. One would think he was leaving forever with how slow he walked. Dramatic man. I closed the door behind him with a sigh, taking a deep breath as I leaned back against it. My heart was pounding in my chest, a mix of excitement and apprehension. Last night was amazing. So fucking amazing. I was happy to have Nathan back in my life, to feel his warmth and love again. But damn, I also knew that our road ahead would not be easy.As I walked back into the living room holding my daughter's little hands tight, the silence was overwhelming. But then I heard a faint sound, the sound of Adele's laughter echoing through the house. I glanced down at the little girl, touched by the look of joy in her face. Adele was ha

NATHANI couldn't believe what I was seeing. Eduardo was standing in front of my parents' house, laughing as if he didn't have a care in the world. I approached him cautiously, trying to keep my anger in check."What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.Eduardo turned to face me, his smile fading slightly as he saw the anger in my eyes. "Oh, Nathan," he said, his voice dripping with false innocence. "I was just passing by and saw this old house. I got curious, you know?"I knew he was lying, of course. Eduardo wasn't the type to just stumble upon something and get curious. He was always looking for an angle, always trying to find a way to benefit himself.But I couldn't let him know that I was onto him. I needed him to believe that we were alike, that we shared the same values and goals.I forced a smile and tried to keep my voice even. "Yeah, I get it. Old houses can be fascinating," I said.Eduardo nodded, his smile returning. "Exactly! I was ju
