Chloe finds out she has been betrothed to the eldest son of the Benjamin’s family, a very influential family in America since she was a child, and it made her extremely angry. She has always been an obedient and dutiful daughter who always put her parents’ wishes before hers since she could remember, and feeling rebellious in her own way, she decides to do something for herself for once. And so, Chloe ends up in a club, which led to her having a one night stand with a hot, dark stranger. Chloe was happy to pretend that night never happened, if she hadn’t realized she was pregnant – a week to the date of her scheduled wedding. Nothing was more shocking for Chloe when fate leads her to her dark stranger once again, and he turns out to be the younger brother of whom she was supposed to be getting married to. That leads to Chloe being forced into a marriage with the father of her child, Nathan– who detests the thought of marriage to begin with. Would the contract marriage and a baby be enough to hold them together?

"Stop staring at him." My best friend Teresa told me as she shook her head.I averted my gaze from Ethan Iversen, who was chatting with his friends at the specific table in the right corner.My eyes were always on him which he could never see.He was the soon-to-be Alpha of our Moonlight Crown Pack and I was just an ordinary Omega.I was sitting in the canteen of our school with Teresa. It was our break time so we came here to chit-chat.I sighed and turned my head to Teresa."I was just-""Yeah yeah, you were looking around and your eyes suddenly fell on him." She said and chuckled. I smiled and looked away. Teresa was my best friend. She knew everything about me. "You are this pack's beta's daughter. He can't let you down." She let out.I shook my head. "No, I want him to look at me as an ordinary girl, not as his father's beta's daughter.""You are beautiful. He will love you back for sure. Otherwise, I will break his nec-""Ssshhh. He will listen to you." I pressed my hand over her mouth to stop her.It was time for our next lesson to begin. We walked to the classroom.It was a Brand Promotion class. The best part was that it was one of the few classes where seniors and juniors could sit together.I was waiting outside with Teresa when I saw Ethan headed this way. I gasped and waited for us to enter together, not knowing whether we would be able to sit together.I was ready to enter the classroom when I felt a push from my right side and collided with Ethan.He gripped my waist and pulled me up straight. His veiny hands and muscular arms were wrapped around me. I nearly passed out. His warmth completely enveloped me.My attention was drawn to his fair forehead with a little fringe scattered, a sharp nose, and dark eyes. "Are you okay?" I could hear him. I realized I was staring at his attractive features. He was in his fourth year of our 'Moonlight University'. In contrast, I was a first-year student. Everyone glanced at us as they came to a halt.I took a step back after clearing my throat. "Y-Yeah, thank you." I responded timidly.He nodded and walked inside the classroom.I could see other girls glaring at me. They were all madly in love with Ethan. He was the most handsome boy they had ever seen and cherry on the top, he was their future Alpha.But I did not like Ethan due to his attractive looks or posture. I liked him since he once saved my life when I was in danger. Who knows what might have happened if he had not saved me?"How was that?" A whisper was heard. I twisted my head and softly punched Teresa's arm."Ouch! I was expecting a kiss on the cheek from you. But you are slamming into me!"My best friend was attempting to matchmake me with Ethan, just as she had pushed me towards him moments ago."He will get angry. Teresa, don't do that again."She sighed and rolled her eyes. "I am not sure how you are going to win his heart with such candor."I laughed and locked her arm with mine. We walked inside the classroom. The class was completely crowded. I looked for a seat and saw a few vacant chairs. Unfortunately, they were not near Ethan.We walked to our seats, which were rather far away from Ethan's.The professor arrived and began our class."Dear students, today we will learn how to select the best sponsor for your product. You must choose the best backer for it."I concentrated on the lesson. I paid close attention in every lesson. I wanted to do well in school and make my parents proud."Like Alpha Ethan, he is the face of our school. We are fortunate to have him here." The professor said.Everyone, including me, was staring at Ethan. He scowled and said, "Ethan"The professor was perplexed by what he had just said."Y-Yes?""Call me Ethan.""Yes, yes. It's a great honor." The professor grinned.Everyone tried hard not to chuckle."Begin buttering! Everyone around here loves to butter him. Huh!" Teresa murmured.After hearing her remarks, I burst out laughing. I saw Ethan concentrating on his book. But I might argue that his focus was not on the book and that he was thinking about something else.He was a reserved person. We were familiar with each other. Not only was my father his father's beta, but he was also his father's closest buddy. But Ethan had a past.Ethan was not the son of our current Alpha, Neil Iversen. He was the son of Alpha Neil's brother, Evan Iversen. However, he lost his parents when he was just five years old. Alpha Neil accepted him totally after that.Everyone described Ethan as Alpha Neil's shadow. Alpha Neil wanted him to be the pack's next Alpha.But there was something more.Alpha Neil has a son as well. He and Ethan were the same age.Everyone knew Alpha Neil and his son Ryan Iversen had a strained relationship. Ryan was also someone I knew. I had not seen him since I was eleven years old. It had been almost eight years since his father had sent him abroad."Will you go tonight?"I emerged from my thoughts. "Huh?" Teresa was the one who asked the question."Ryan Iversen is returning today. Seniors are giving him a welcoming party."I scowled. "He is not even a student at our school.""He will join our school," A girl in my front seat said to us. "We observed that four pack fighters came to see the Dean today, and a professor told our boys that Ryan is our new transfer student.""I see." I muttered.Ryan was not the same as Ethan. He was the complete opposite of him. In our childhoods, I only witnessed him become furious at everyone."Will you accompany me?" Teresa asked."No.""Consider it. Ethan is definitely going."When I glanced at Ethan, I sighed. He was now focused on his phone.After all the classes, Teresa dropped me off at home since my house was on her way.I saw there was no one in my house. I dialed my mother's number. "Mom?" I said as soon as she received the call. "Where have you gone?""Are you back at home, honey? You must be starving. Enter the kitchen. I made you lunch before I came to the pack house.""Pack house? What brought you there?""Ryan is returning today. So Luna Ella contacted me to ask if I could help her in cooking her son's favorite foods. You know how much Ryan used to like my food when he was a kid.""Okay, mom."I hung up the phone. My mother adored both Ethan and Ryan. My mother was also friends with Luna Ella, therefore we were really close family friends. We went to every gathering and celebration together. I went to my room and took a shower. Following that, I had a late lunch. Teresa came to my house in the evening. I was dressed casually in blue jeans and a loose black shirt. My hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. I did not want to draw attention to myself."Let's go." I said to Teresa.We hopped in her car and drove to the club where our seniors were throwing the party.We walked inside the club. My attention was drawn to the smoke and the loud music. I had never been to a club before, so it was a whole new experience for me."Let's go out and have some drinks." Teresa remarked, pulling me along with her.I saw that practically every popular student in our school had attended this party.Suddenly, I saw Ethan conversing with someone."I am coming right away." I said to Teresa before walking up to Ethan.We were not strangers; we were family friends. I approached him and came to a halt behind him."Ethan" He turned to face me. I smiled at him, but then I saw his ex-girlfriend Julie standing in front of him."Yes?" He asked.I had no idea what to say to him or how to greet him."H-Hi."He just nodded his head and turned around without replying. I took a step back, but I could hear the girl."You know her?""Hmm." "Like she is someone who can be yo-""She is not my type."I overheard his response. Did he know I was still standing behind him? How could he possibly say such a thing to others? I was not his type? Why?I clenched my fists. My tears had made my eyes glossy. Nothing was clearly visible to me. I saw a haze. I took a few steps back.My back was suddenly crushed against a hard chest. I turned back right away but could not see anything since I was in tears.I blinked a few times, and my vision started to clear.I saw a pair of black eyes staring at me.My gaze was pulled to the facial features. Black hair, a strong jawline, thick brows, and a fair and clean face.I saw his eyes going down to my clothes before returning to my face.Then I heard his deep, icy voice."Who are you?"220Chloe"Dada!" Adele's screams echoed through the air as Nathan swung her all over the place. I smiled at the sight. Her giggles were contagious. I watched through the window. Watched him spin her around, laughing his head off with her and for a minute I allowed myself to get lost in the moment with them. This was the life I had wanted all along. A happy home, a happy place, a perfect family. My eyes fell on my trembling hands and I retreated, allowing the blinds to fall. Except for the fact that we were the furthest from perfect. It had been three months since the accident. Three months since the truth of... Well everything was exposed. Mahn my life was a fucking rollercoaster. The more I thought about it, the more impressed I was that I had survived it at all. And it seemed it all started from that crazy one night stand. The world, my world, cracked and shook around its edges right from the day that I had met Nathan. If he hadn't gotten me pregnant, I most likely wouldn't hav
CHAPTER 219 NATHAN’S POV I headed to the doctor's office to collect discharge papers and a few other documents. Chloe was finally certified to be discharged and I couldn't be as happy as I was now. I was finally getting what I wanted. Signing something on the discharged paper, we started preparing for her departure. When I meant we, I meant Addison and Cameron and it was a very chaotic event. “Stop hissing, it's irritating!” I heard Cameron’s disgusted voice yelling at Addison. “Don’t you dare speak to me,” Addison warned. Feeling very embarrassed, I could see the several burning eyes on the scene happening. They had started with their annoying banter. Couldn't they just get along? I understood that Addison was annoying but Cameron had to behave like a man and stop whining like a child. I was getting angry with their actions and was only trying to cover it up with a smile. Women just loved arguing and that was it for Addison. She wouldn't miss a chance to argue with yo
CHAPTER 218 NATHAN’S POV I got to the hospital parking lot with a smile on my face. Walking into the hospital, I was very excited. Nothing was stopping me from getting her now, both Eduardo and Tristan were rotting in jail and that was all I could ask for. Pushing the don't open, I mentally groaned to see who was there with her. I was about to barge in when something stopped me. Chloe was sitting up while facing Addison and Adele with the widest smile I had ever seen. She was speaking gently and was even laughing. It felt like ages since I have seen that bright smile on her face, Chloe was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. She was always smiling and helping everyone regardless of her problems. She had a heart of gold and was always reaching out to others, losing her would be the biggest mistake I would make if I allowed it. I had already lost my loved ones once, I wasn’t going to allow this one again. Not again, she was mine alone! Seeing this just made m
CHAPTER 217 NATHAN’S POV I walked casually with Cameron beside me as we met with Officer Alex. “Good morning,” we exchanged pleasantries as he welcomed us into his office. We couldn't interrogate Eduardo a day before because he had been taken to hospital because of some minor injuries. “Are you ready?” Alex asked as we walked to meet Eduardo. “Never been this ready, I had been ready for this my whole life,” I added as I put on a forced smile. Wishing that Chloe was here to witness this, my mind drifted to her. I was going to make sure I call the nurse after this. I was also worried about her safety and had stationed two private guards for her. As far as Eduardo is concerned, he could strike anyone. I was very wary of that man and didn’t want any accident to repeat itself twice. I was never going to allow Eduardo to get to my family again, especially when I was still alive! Even if it means killing him, I would gladly do so without hesitating. He had done more than enoug

NATHAN’S POV I walked into the police station with Cameron as he discussed something with them. “You are back again?” I heard a policeman ask. “Yes, I want to reopen the case of Noah Nathan and his family,” I said as the cop went through the file. “A murder case,” I added again as they searched for it before finding it. Going through it, he nods his head. “I assume you have several pieces of evidence now?” He asked as I nodded my head. He invited me into his office and I started discussing everything with him. “That’s fine, let me arrange for an arrest,” he said before calling a junior officer. Everything was finally falling in place, I was going to get my revenge and also get my girl back. Eduardo shouldn't have played those silly games and thought I wouldn't get him. Though it was difficult, he shouldn't have messed with me. I was going to teach both him and Tristan a very good lesson. “Arrange for an arrest, Mr. Tristan, owner of….” I heard the cop saying b
