As I ended the call with Chloe, a wide grin spread across my face, my heart still fluttering with the anticipation of our upcoming reunion. The joy within me was practically palpable, radiating through every fiber of my being.Lost in my thoughts, I was brought back to reality by Cameron's teasing voice. "Nathan, you've got that goofy grin plastered all over your face. I can only assume it's because of Chloe. Looks like you're love struck, my friend."I chuckled, shaking my head at Cameron's playful remark. "Oh, come on, Cam. Love struck? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? I'm just happy to be seeing Chloe tonight, that's all."Cameron raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Just happy? Nathan, my dear brother, I've known you long enough to recognize that look on your face. You're head over heels, my friend."The banter between us continued as we made our way to the bar, the dimly lit atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for our lighthearted jesting. It was a ch

As Nathan's lips left mine, a warmth spread throughout my body, and a longing for his presence overwhelmed me. I looked into his eyes, hoping he would understand the unspoken plea that danced within my gaze. "Do you have to go home, Nathan?" I asked softly, my voice laced with a desperate yearning. He paused for a moment, his eyes searching mine, as if deciphering the hidden desires in my words. And then, with a tender smile, he responded, "No, Chloe. I don't have to go anywhere. I want to be here with you." I grinned and pulled him closer, craving his touch and his presence. Our bodies pressed against each other, fitting perfectly as if we were two puzzle pieces finally finding their rightful place. "Oh" I purred, closing my eyes as his lips ran down my neck, slowly and softly, gently stroking the nape until I became nothing but a jelly-like mess in his arms. "Nathan," In that intimate embrace, our souls intertwined, and time lost all meaning. The world outside faded into insignif

I leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Chloe's lips, savoring the taste of her affection. The morning sun bathed us in a warm glow as we continued to playfully tease and laugh, relishing in the joy of being together. But just as the carefree moments seemed to stretch on endlessly, my phone pierced the air with its insistent ringtone. I reached for it, recognizing Cameron's name flashing on the screen. With a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, I answered the call. "Cameron, what's up?" I asked, my voice filled with a hint of excitement. His voice crackled with enthusiasm on the other end. "Nathan, you won't believe it! The trial for Eduardo has been fixed. It's finally happening!" A surge of exhilaration coursed through my veins, a rush of emotions that I struggled to contain. The long-awaited moment of justice was finally within reach, and the realization sent a wave of elation crashing over me. A wide smile spread across my face as I turned to Chloe, my eyes sparkling with ne

I returned to the room, the weight of the situation heavy upon my shoulders. Despite Nathan's invitation to rejoin him in bed, I found myself unable to muster the same sense of intimacy that had filled the room just moments before. My mind was consumed with thoughts of the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. Seeking solace in the bathroom, I turned on the shower, the sound of water cascading down providing a comforting backdrop to my swirling thoughts. The steam enveloped me, creating a veil of privacy as I stood beneath the soothing stream of water, lost in contemplation. As the water washed away the physical and emotional residue of the past, I found myself reflecting on the decision to assume the identity of Arabella Montgomery. It had been a desperate move, a means to reclaim what was rightfully mine – my parents' properties and companies that had been cruelly stolen by Tristan. But now, with Eduardo out of the picture and Tristan's malevolence looming over us, I couldn't sh

It was through their hard work and dedication that I could seamlessly transition back into my role, confident in the knowledge that the company was in capable hands.
