Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 106
The warm taste of Ruan’s mouth invaded Chloe’s lips. Her heart leaped so fast that she completely forgot to breathe. Her body refused to respond to anything apart from the raw desire to stay wrapped in Ruan's arms—until she remembered the scene she had witnessed that morning.She understood why Ruan had comforted Megan; after all, the house was burning down with Josephine trapped inside the flames. However, that wasn't enough to make her forget everything.Chloe shoved him away. She raised her arms and slapped him across the face. Ruan cupped his cheek as tears instantly rushed down Chloe's face. She immediately regretted what she had just done.She parted her lips to say she was sorry, but then he slowly turned his head to look at her. He didn't show any hatred or resentment; his expression looked entirely different from anything she had ever seen on his face before.“I don't want you to touch me ever again,” she said, her voice cracking with every word. “I saw you with Megan. I saw
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 105
Chloe could still see Ruan in her mind, holding Megan while her old house burned to the ground.She remembered waking up to the sound of sirens. Grace’s ice-cold hands held her body while she delivered the tragic news. Chloe rushed out in her pajamas and drove through the deserted streets of Phoenix just to see the house she once called home engulfed in flames, while her ex-husband comforted the great love of his life.It still hurt like knives piercing her heart. It still hurt just like the very first day.She couldn't stand staying there. Chloe needed to get away, and she actually drove all the way to the city limits. She wished she could leave Phoenix and never come back.Why did she still have to love Ruan so intensely?Why didn't that love die when he ran right back into Megan’s arms?Tears streamed down her face without stopping for a single second. Chloe sobbed and groaned inside the car, a throbbing pain pulsing through her entire body, a burning heat scorching her chest.This
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 104
Ruan had been awake since the early hours of the morning. Exhaustion weighed heavily on his temples alongside the reality of his current situation. He barely even looked at Megan. Looking at her felt like a direct sentence for all his mistakes.“Can you ever forgive me for this?” she murmured, but her words carried too little weight to convince him. “Please, don't turn me in to the police. I only wanted to get rid of Osvaldo.”Ruan shifted his feet; they felt swollen and throbbed painfully inside his flip-flops. His expression hardened instantly the moment he looked at her. The fascination he used to feel for this woman had completely vanished.“Your plan failed,” Ruan said, averting his gaze for the second time. “Nobody knows where he is; he got away scot-free again.”“I don't want to talk about Osvaldo. I want to talk about us.”Her words made his stomach churn. Like a hand squeezing his intestines, a sharp, stabbing pain flared up in his belly and slowly climbed to his head. Ruan w
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 103
The raging fire quickly consumed the house, leaving absolutely no sign that anyone would make it out alive. Ruan screamed for help as sirens lit up the busy street. It wasn't even six in the morning yet, and darkness still covered the sky, but horrified neighbors already crowded the sidewalk.Ruan handed an unconscious Megan over to the paramedic and told him who was inside the house. The reflection of the flames danced in his eyes as tears streamed down his face. Not because he actually cared about Josephine's life, but because the scene reminded him of his own destroyed home and the absolute tragedy his life had become ever since Megan's husband showed up.The firefighters blasted the house with water hoses, slowly dousing the flames. Ruan felt the first rays of sunlight burn his skin; how had things reached this breaking point?“Ruan,” a heavy hand clapped down hard on his shoulder, making him jump. Ruan whipped around to look at the man, blood boiling in his veins. “The paramedics

"Can't you convince her to stay?" Grace asked, leaning over the counter as the steam from her tea brushed against her face."Why would Chloe even listen to me?" Ruan replied, taking a sip of his tea right after. He sat in the kitchen at three in the morning talking to Grace because he couldn't get a decent night's sleep."You two were married; Chloe loves you."The hot liquid went down the wrong pipe, choking Ruan and burning his throat. He rushed to grab a glass of water to soothe the burning sensation that flared up in his stomach and climbed back up to his throat. It took him nearly two minutes to find his voice again."Is that what Chloe told you?" he asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "That she loves me? Do you actually believe that?""Don't you?" she countered, leaning forward again to lock eyes with him. "Can't you see it yourself whenever you look at her?"Ruan felt like a total idiot when Grace laughed at him. Either she was messing with him, or she meant it so sincerely
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 101
Chloe stood watching Ruan watch TV with Chris, sprawled out on the living room couch where he usually slept, noting how quickly Chris drifted off to sleep in his father's arms. She still replayed his earlier words in her mind.After that day, they stopped talking completely. He was always gone when she got home from school, and he returned late at night. Chloe didn't even bother to find out what Ruan was up to.“Maybe he's searching for a place of his own,” Grace said, shrugging. “I told him he could stay, but he seems obsessed with fixing up the house. I heard he hired a construction company for the remodel.”“Are you sure about that?”“I work at city hall; I know everything that happens in these Phoenix houses,” she bragged about her position, but Chloe didn't care. She just sat there, digesting the information, lacking the courage to ask Ruan if it was actually true.“The police are still hunting for Megan's husband,” Grace mentioned, sending a sudden chill down Chloe's spine. “He
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 34
Nothing registered in Chloe’s mind when she came across the news. She hadn’t seen her father in more than six years. The last time she saw him was when he expelled her from home, saying he no longer had a daughter. Chloe wasn’t ready to see him again, now lying in a coffin.What was Chloe supposed
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 33
Images from the last five years flickered before Chloe’s eyes. She hadn’t just abandoned the past; she had left her father, her city, and all of her dreams behind to keep her son safe.She remembered the night she fled with Ruan to another country, with him promising to protect her and the child sh

Ruan had been standing at the edge of the bed for almost ten minutes, watching Chloe sleep. She had woken up after fainting, and the doctor he urgently called gave her some safe medication, making her fall asleep again. He collected Chloe’s blood to confirm the pregnancy.Ruan could hardly believe
Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life Chapter 31
Chloe’s feet froze in the middle of the street when a car screeched to a halt just inches from her. Grace screamed, grabbing Chloe and pulling her to safety.It felt as if Chloe feared those eyes more than the possibility of being hit and killed.She quickly hid the pregnancy test inside her purse
