Josephine narrowed her eyes at the cup in her hands, checking every second to see if Chloe was close to finishing. When she finally emptied it, Josephine offered help, taking the cup and carrying it back to the kitchen.

“You need to leave.” Her once warm voice turned cold again. “It won’t be pleasant if your father comes home and sees you here. I don’t want any trouble with him.”

Chloe seemed to feel better now. She stood carefully, making sure the dizziness had passed. But she hadn’t achieved

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 94

    Chloe immediately walked to her classroom. She would rather not allow Elijah any time to question her about Leonidas and their long-past relationship. She felt his intense gaze on her as soon as she crossed the room. Even with the students being rowdy and running around, the atmosphere inside the classroom felt more welcoming than the world outside.It took her ten minutes to calm the children. Chloe loved working with kids and hardly noticed the time passing while she taught. In there, she had no adult problems to solve, no ghosts from the past, and no Ruan constantly reminding her that they were once married and shared an unbreakable bond.She didn't realize the class had ended until she saw the children rushing into the hallway. Chloe had a clear plan: wait for every student to leave, pack her things, run to Christopher’s classroom, and sneak away unnoticed. But her plans fell apart the moment she turned around and saw Elijah standing in the doorway.Their eyes met, and his lips ti

    “Stop telling people I'm your wife immediately,” Chloe said, raising her finger to point at Ruan’s face, deeply unsettled by what she considered childish behavior.Even when they were married, he never proudly claimed Chloe as his wife. This sudden change in his behavior left her both confused and furious. It seemed as though Ruan only did it to hurt her.He gently caught her finger, watching the movement, and lowered her hand, disarming Chloe in a way she never expected.Ruan left the police station, reeling from everything he had heard. He drove to the street where Josephine lived, stopped in front of the house, and stared at the building. He debated confronting his ex-mother-in-law, but the thought of Christopher stopped him.Not only that, but he started the car again and doubled back, heading straight to the school where Chris studied. Occasionally he forgot that Chloe worked there, too. Remembering that also reminded him that Elijah owned the school and loved courting his ex-wif

    Chloe drove to the school in silence, her thoughts frozen on the moment Ruan walked into the bathroom and saw her naked. The way her body reacted to his gaze still energized her, as if the moment hadn't ended.“When I get back from school, will my dad be home waiting for me?” Chris's voice pulled her back to reality. Chloe had to force her eyes toward him.The car sat in the parking lot when Grace got out, taking the boy in her arms.“Something tells me your dad isn't leaving anymore,” Grace said. Chloe looked at her, thinking it was a tasteless joke and that she shouldn't mislead a child. “I mean, even if you guys move away one day, your father will go with you.”“You shouldn't lie to a child,” Chloe said, resting her bag on her shoulders and looking at the school entrance. “Christopher is old enough to know his father and I are no longer together.”“I believe Aunt Grace,” Chris said as soon as his feet touched the ground. “I also believe Daddy is going to move back in with us.”Chlo

    Ruan walked for nearly a mile before reaching the hospital. Sweat glistened on his forehead, and the Phoenix sun had barely crested the horizon. He huffed as he unlocked his vehicle and climbed inside. He shut the door and threw his head back, closing his eyes.Megan’s words invaded his thoughts. They hit like a devastating wave, crushing the sandcastle he had built to spend his life with her. A knot tightened in his throat. A tear threatened to fall.Chloé’s shapely legs filled his mind. Ruan opened his eyes and stared straight ahead.“Why am I thinking about Chloé?”All the anguish from moments ago vanished, replaced by an almost uncontrollable desire. Ruan shook his head as if his thoughts were a stray animal clinging to his hair that he needed to shake off.He started the engine and drove through the streets of Phoenix toward the police station. He needed to see the city's movement to forget the problems surfacing in his life. Not only that, but he had to stop thinking about Megan

    POV RuanRuan lingered at the back of the house, staring up at the starlit black sky while the icy wind whipped against his body. It still stung to know that Megan had lied to him. It was painful to realize that her lies had ruined his marriage to Chloe and led to his house being consumed by fire.He felt certain Megan was involved in it. He had loved her madly—to the point of neglecting his relationship with Chloe—waiting for the day he would reunite with the supposed love of his life and start over by her side. Now, only pain remained.He couldn't forget, even for a second, what she had done to Christopher. Seeing her looming over his son, attacking him, and then dismissing it as a mere joke made his blood boil. Christopher was the most important person in his life, and Ruan wouldn't let anyone hurt him, not even the woman he had loved his whole life. It was all over.At one in the morning, his phone vibrated with a call. The screen lit up the dark room as he tried to get comfortabl

    A thousand emotions surged within Chloe the moment she saw Ruan enter the house and drop his belongings—what little remained after the fire—onto the living room floor. He sat on the sofa in complete silence. Chloe walked past him, still holding Christopher, and headed toward the bedroom.When Grace walked through the door, Chloe rushed to corner her against the wall. She hadn't said anything earlier to avoid embarrassing Ruan or dashing Christopher’s hopes.She grabbed Grace’s hand and dragged her to the back of the house."What crazy idea possessed you to bring Ruan to your house?""Did you want your son’s father living on the street?" Grace crossed her arms, shifting the burden onto Chloe. "Ruan is rich, he owns his own company; he’ll find a good place to live within a week. His stay here is temporary.""You know exactly what I’m talking about." Chloe had to keep her voice down when she felt herself nearly shouting. "How could you tell him you have a huge, useless basement when we b

    POV Ruan“Please, Ruan, stop, you’re hurting me…” Megan’s voice trailed off at the same pace Ruan dragged her through the hospital corridors.This was the most inappropriate setting for an argument with a girlfriend, but Ruan couldn't bear to wait another moment. The image of how he had held Christ

    Chloe’s lips met Ruan’s, catching him completely off guard. Once he realized what was happening, his hands pressed against the back of her neck, pulling her closer and pulling her into his hot, searing kiss. The space was cramped, which only forced them tighter together. Their breathing quickened a

    Chloe“Your half-sister’s husband?” He gave Chloe a dubious look and stood motionless in silence for several long seconds. Chloe thought her plan had failed—that she wouldn't manage to wring the truth out of this man.She watched him intently. He had broad shoulders, impeccable posture, and graying

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 75

    Driving through Phoenix at dusk, Chloe’s thoughts were churning with the mission she had accepted. Chloe did not fear Megan, and she did not mind becoming entangled in the family’s rot.
