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 when she saw the woman step out of the vehicle and approach her.

“Why did you stop in the middle of the street, Chloe? You were this close to getting run over.”

Grace kept talking, but the only sound

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 98

    Chloe's only concern at that moment was Christopher. She studied her son's face, tracing every feature, but she found nothing that could worry her. Christopher remained completely distracted by the phone in his hands, playing his favorite game.She let out a heavy sigh and closed her eyes. She didn't give a damn about what Ruan would think of her decision; her biggest fear was letting Christopher down.Grace hurried over, grabbing Christopher by the arm and inviting him to head to the bedroom. He agreed silently, leaving Chloe entirely alone with Ruan. It was the absolute last thing she wanted right then.She turned her back to him and stared down at her empty plate when she heard his footsteps heading straight for her. Ruan pulled out the chair directly across from her and sat down. He placed his hands on the table and locked his fingers together. It felt like the start of a damn interrogation. The intense way he stared made her feel like a criminal waiting to receive her sentence.A

    Chloe stepped into the room, the door sliding quickly through her fingers until it slammed hard against the wall. She wasn't angry—she would fiercely deny it if asked—but her chest ached the moment she sucked in a sharp breath. She buried her face in her hands as the morning's chaos flooded her mind like painful memories.This wasn't the life she wanted to live. She would rather not keep running into the ghosts of her past. Perhaps her story in Phoenix needed to end. The very next second, the phone inside her purse vibrated.Chloe dragged herself up lazily, leaning over to grab the phone she dropped on the floor when she first walked into the room. She unzipped her purse, pulled out the warm device, and slid it free.A notification flashed across the screen the moment she unlocked it. Her eyes took a moment to adjust to the small print, but she collapsed backward onto the bed the second she read the message:“Miss Chloe, after extensive review, we have decided to accept your applicati

    Ruan watched the exact moment tears streamed down Megan's face. Not too long ago, that sight would have broken his heart. He used to hate seeing her cry, but now he felt absolutely nothing but indifference. He saw no sincerity in her grief.“I want to know where I can find Alexander,” Ruan said, and the sudden shift in topic startled Megan. “He needs to pay for assault and property damage.”“You could face charges for making false accusations,” Josephine snapped, raising her voice again. “You don't know who you're messing with, Ruan. If I were you, I'd back off before it's too late.”“If I learned how to deal with you, Josephine, I can handle anyone.”His words hit like targeted bullets, and judging by Josephine's reaction, Ruan had struck a nerve.“Please, Ruan,” Megan rushed forward so quickly he couldn't stop her from touching him. “Stay away from Alexander. My mother is right—he's a dangerous man.”“If you knew he was dangerous, why did you marry him?” Ruan violently shook her off

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 95

    Ruan left the school, glancing back and trying to convince himself that staying away was for the best. Seeing Chloe's ex-boyfriend court her had infuriated him, and the feeling tormented him all the way home.However, he didn't stop in front of Grace’s house; he kept driving, knowing it was useless to hide and pretend nothing was happening. Chloe still haunted his thoughts—it was disturbing to obsess over his ex-wife this way. Megan was the one he should still love; Megan was the one he should be thinking about and mourning. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he focused on the road. He had a more important matter to handle this time.Not only that, but he parked the car a few yards away. He turned off the engine and looked around, making sure the street was empty. Visiting his ex-mother-in-law's house wasn't suspicious in itself, but Ruan knew what he might find there. He also knew that all of Phoenix was talking about the incident involving Megan's current husband.People u

    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

    Ruan’s fingers tightened lightly around Chloe’s waist. A wave of warmth spread through her body as he carried her to the car. She gripped the sleeve of his shirt so hard that he thought it might tear. Closing her eyes, she didn’t seem to feel well at all.Ruan felt obliga

    “How did Leonidas have the courage to come here?”Chloe heard Grace’s question as soon as she approached the room. Ruan told her about Leonidas. For a man who had been silent for months, he was talking more than he should.Chloe pushed the door open, and silence re

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 15

    Chloe waited for Ruan’s reaction when she ran outside, but nothing happened. When she realized she had been walking the hospital corridors for too long, she had to stop to catch her breath. Talking about Leônidas should no longer hurt or bother her. At that moment, she realized the wound remained o

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 10

    It wasn’t easy facing her ex-boyfriend after everything that had happened. Chloe still replayed the way it had ended—with no explanations, no resentment, nothing. Leônidas hadn’t felt an ounce of remorse for what he had done to her. Not even an apology would she ever receive.Stepping onto campus,
