CHAPTER 162 CHLOE’S POV I groaned as I felt Nathan placing lots of kisses on my arms. “Baby, I still want to sleep.” I whined as he wouldn’t stop disturbing me. I felt a slap on my ass as I woke up with a glare. “Seriously, are we doing this!” I asked with a mischievous smile. “I honestly wouldn’t mind but we have a lot to do today,” he got off the bed and threw a kiss at me. Laughing at his silliness, I got off and said my prayers before heading to the bathroom for my early morning routines but this time with a large smile placed on my lips. These past few days just made me realize how much I love Nathan, I had been trying to deny my feelings for quite some time now but it wasn’t working. I finally agreed with my feelings and it was the best thing ever! “Are you still in there? I will come in and spank your ass again if you don’t hurry!” He threatened and I smirked. “I’ll love that!” I retorted, making him chuckle before walking away. Quickly doing my thing, I got

CHAPTER 164 CHLOE’S POV Getting into my garage, I stopped the car almost abruptly as I got down in a rush. Feeling so scared, I just wanted to be around someone. It was going to help me stable my anxiety at this moment, opening the door to see Nathan stand in a stance. He relaxed after noticing it was me. “Babe!” I called as I walked to him and embraced him. Feeling his warm body on mine, I felt my muscles relax as I sniffed his shirt. “Thank you so much baby, I love you so much.” He confessed, making me blush hard. I know this wasn’t the first time Nathan was saying this but this felt special in some ways I can’t explain. Just as I was about to reply, Cameron cleared his throat. “Lover boy, you know we need to hurry.” He said with a voice that got me so annoyed. Honestly this Cam of a guy was spoiler alert! Giving him an annoyed look, he just stared at me. “For someone that just got his ass saved, you seem quite proud.” I said I was already losing my temper. Nathan

166 Addison As the jet took off, I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension coursing through my veins. Shit was about to hit the fan, wasn't it? It had been hard to keep up with Chloe and the many complications she constantly had tied with her! Why couldn't we live a normal life in New York?! It wasn't extravagant and there was no one pampering us and all that shit, but we were happy. We were happy until David steppes into our lives. I settle into my seat, keeping a watchful eye on Adele, and sniffed. Chloe deserved a much more happy life. A life separate from all this rivalry nonsense and constant hiding. Since we came back to.this stupid place, there had been nothing but pain and suspense. Tristan wouldn't be out for Adele if Chloe had never come back to claim some dumbass company. Hell, the more I thought about it, the more angrier I felt. This was all David's fault! And I did tell Chloe then not to listen to him. He wasn't worth it! Now look where that old man dumped us.

168 A moment of silence enveloped the interrogation room, the tension so thick, I could taste it. And I wasn't even in the room with them! Eduardo's eyes flickered with warily, the struggle between the truth and his desperation etched on his face was clear. Confess you slimy bastard! Finally, his voice cracked, his confession emerging in a strained whisper. "Alright, alright! I... I did it. I killed them. Nathan's parents. I couldn't let them expose me." A heavy silence settled upon the room as the detectives absorbed Eduardo's admission. The truth, once hidden beneath layers of deceit, now hung in the air, raw and undeniable. Detective Alvarez broke the silence. "Well thank you for finally telling the truth, Eduardo after about three damned hours. I'll expect that you'll need some time in prison to cool off." As the weight of Eduardo's confession settled upon the room, Cameron tapped me and inclined his head to the side. "We've gotten what we came for yes?" He asked and I n

170Dialing his number, my heart fluttered with anticipation. Each ring felt like a countdown, bringing me closer to the moment when I would hear Nathan's voice on the other end of the line. "Hello," "Nathan, hey it's Chloe," I mumbled. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I wanted to ask how the case with Eduardo is going." There was a brief pause and a lot of shuffling before Nathan responded, his voice tinged with weariness and a drunken edge. "Oh yeah! That bastard's in jail. Messed with the wrong person he did. He'll be gone soon and we can all live our lives in peace." A wave of relief washed over me, knowing that progress was being made. Eduardo's arrest meant he was no longer capable of hurting me or Adele. At least one threat had been taken care of. "Thats great news," I replied. Nathan chuckled. "Yeah it is. Thank you, Chloe. We couldn't have done this without you." "Mhmm, might as well admit that you need me," I teased and earned a wistful laugh from him.
