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 she carried.

During the pregnancy, he kept his promise. He also had to abandon his life to make sure that child would be born, but Chloe paid a high price for it.

Ruan ruined her marriage.

None of that

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 86

    Chloe watched the exact moment Ruan's expression—once so calm because of Chris's presence—drain into something pale and lifeless. His feet moved quickly toward the door. She didn't think twice before planting herself in front of him, eyes pleading for him to stop right there.“Did you hear what she said?” He placed his hands on her shoulders—heavy and cold. “My house is on fire. I have to do something.”“I know many of your qualities, Ruan, but fireman wasn't one I had on the list.” She grabbed him, knowing her physical strength alone wouldn't stop him, but her agility gave her just enough of an edge to beat him to the door. She locked it and yanked out the keys.“This is no time for jokes, Chloe.” He stretched out his hand, his jaw clenching so hard it could've cracked his teeth. “Give me the keys back.”Chloe felt her heart being crushed. She couldn't let Ruan go to his house without knowing the real reasons it had caught fire. He was still under medical supervision, still under ser

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 85

    POV RuanRuan shouldn’t have given up so easily on speaking to Chloe, but when he looked at her and saw how she acted around Elijah, his blood boiled. He was already under immense pressure from everything that had happened with Megan; his heart was shattered, and he didn't need another disappointment.It was hard for him to admit that he hated the idea of seeing Chloe with another man. At first, he told himself this distrust stemmed solely from Christopher—that he didn't want another man raising his son—but he couldn't convince himself of that lie. He hated seeing Elijah by Chloe’s side even when Christopher wasn't around. It wasn't because Elijah gave him any reason to; it was simply because Chloe was his ex-wife, the woman he had shared his life with for years.He returned to his room, his head beginning to throb. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but recent events haunted him like ghosts. Megan was still married, and the accusations Chloe had made were far too serious. His hea

    POV ChristopherChristopher blinked rapidly, refusing to let tears blur his vision even further. He didn't want Chloe to see him crying; every time he did, it made her even more vulnerable. But the pain in his back was too intense. He held back his tears as much as he could, for as long as he could.“I didn't mean to cause trouble,” he said quickly, his voice raspy with pain. “That woman came up to me, threw me on the ground, and then said it was all a game…”Chloe immediately pulled Christopher into her arms and hugged him tight, closing her eyes and refusing to let her pain show. She knew Christopher was holding back his tears, so she did the same, trying to give him strength.“It wasn't your fault, okay?” She kissed Christopher’s sweaty forehead. “We can ask the doctor to take a look at you.”“I'm fine, Mom,” he said, fighting back the urge to cry. “I'm just a little scared.”It was much more than a scare. It hurt far more than a hard bump on the back; Christopher’s heart ached, an

    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 Christopher, the tears in his son’s eyes, and the desperation of seeing the boy so vulnerable wouldn't leave his mind. He needed to have this conversation with her right here, right now, or he would lose his mind.“What do you think you’re doing?” He stopped in an area far from the rooms where he could shout without anyone hearing. He released Megan’s arm with force, as if discarding a bag of trash. “How dare you do that to a child?”“What?” Megan massaged the spot where Ruan had gripped her, staring at him with a look of pain. “I was just playing…”“Does throwing a child to the floor and climbing on top of him seem like a game to you, Megan?” His voice thundered so intensely that Megan recoiled i

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 82

    POV ChloeChloe had to step away from Ruan and sit down. Her knees were shaking. Concentrating proved difficult with Ruan so close. She hated admitting that she still felt something for him; she hated knowing that he still dominated her thoughts, even while he hid another woman. She tried to push those thoughts aside and kept her gaze away from him. However, Ruan approached, pulled up another chair, and sat directly across from her.“I'm waiting,” he whispered, his full attention locked on Chloe.“Don't you want to see Chris first? We can talk about this afterward.”“Do you know what it’s like to lie in this bed, aching to see your ex-wife?” He gripped her chin, tilting it up and forcing her to meet his eyes. “I need to know the truth, and only you can tell me.”Her blood boiled. Chloe stood up an instant later, putting distance between them for the second time. The taste of Ruan lingered in her mouth. They weren't married anymore, and she should have stayed away, but that wasn't what

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 81

    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 as they kissed as if the divorce had never happened.The kiss felt exactly like the ones Chloe used to give him before they made love—the ones where, afterward, she would tell him how much she loved him. Suddenly, Megan’s image flashed through his mind. Why was Ruan letting his ex-wife kiss him while he was involved with Megan? It was Megan he loved. It was Megan he had longed to hold in his arms all those years. So why was his heart racing, and why couldn't he keep his hands off Chloe?Ruan pulled away slowly when he heard Megan’s voice outside. Chloe immediately clamped her hand over his mouth when she realized he was about to say something. The kiss hadn't been enough to distract him. Chlo

    Ruan was on his way to work when he got a call from Grace that morning. He drove through the streets, irritated, his mind replaying Megan’s behavior.He had woken up, and she wasn’t home. The messy bed revealed the rough night they’d had. It felt strange to be beside the woman he loved without bein

    When Chloe looked at her hands, they were bleeding. She tried to ignore the bitter taste in her mouth as she put the phone to her ear to speak with the attendant.“I need to file a complaint.” Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Josephine, who was still standing bravely in front of her. “I

    Megan’s lips pressed into a thin, tight line as she left the house before sunrise. She had seen Ruan sleeping in the guest room before she walked out, and the remnants of last night’s fight still littered the dining room floor.She felt as if the world had closed in around her. Before everything ha

  • Unexpected Marriage: The night that changed my life   Chapter 53

    The heat in Phoenix was unbearable, but Chloe’s body trembled as if she stood in freezing weather below zero. Her hands sweated, and she couldn’t stop thinking about the surprise on Ruan’s face when he saw her with another man.“Why on earth was she thinking about Ruan?”Elijah sat across from her,
