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

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

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

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

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

Megan’s expression turned stony the moment she recognized Chloe. She looked stunning in a gray suit, her hair neatly tied back and her makeup subtle, only enhancing her beauty. It was as if time had never touched her.“What are you doing here?” Megan turned her gaze away, her voice flat and emotion

Chloe stopped breathing. This had to be a damn coincidence. What were the chances of running into the same man from last night?Elijah lifted her, setting Chloe back on her feet. When he let go, her legs nearly gave out, adrenaline rushing through her veins as her cheeks burned uncontrollably.“Wha

Her feelings shut down when Chloe looked at Ruan. The warmth she had just offered the stranger in front of her vanished suddenly, and Ruan didn’t like what he saw.It wasn’t only Chloe’s behavior that affected him, but also the fact that she looked so comfortable next to a man she had just met. Aft

“Wait, Chloe,” his face twisted, but Chloe couldn’t tell if it was anger or resentment. “This childish behavior has always been the reason I preferred Megan over you.”Chloe’s feet froze suddenly, fury slowly rising inside her.“Oh, of course, you’d rather stay beside a woman who left you at the al
