Chloe is waiting for Nero to come out of his office for the past one hour. Half an hour ago Matteo left the house and she locked the door after him. It's just Chloe and Nero now. The guards are guarding the door outside and the cook left a couple of hours ago. Her mind kept wandering back to his tensed frame. She is not naive. She understood something is bothering him, but she is not sure if it is Juan or something else. She waited for another half an hour without any sign of Nero. She sighed heavily and decided to go check on him herself. Slowly she walked towards his office and knocked on the door. But no one answered it. She frowned but decided to open it anyway. She opened the door and entered the room, which is basked in darkness. The moonlight streaming from the window behind his desk is the only light in the room. She can see his dark frame sitting on his chair, and his eyes are closed.  By the way, his body is still and his fists

Nero's plan to suffocate Juan worked out well. He was busy with implementing his plan for the past one week. He barely had time for Chloe. But every night he will come home to her and sleep beside her. But by the time Chloe wakes up, he would have already left for work.He always asks if she had breakfast, lunch and dinner. He skipped most of his meals to ensure that Juan is helpless and is on the verge of desperation. His guilt that he couldn't protect Chloe in the first place is what is driving him to finish Juan off before he could plan to hurt Chloe again. Nero is determined to make an example out of Juan.Nero advised Chloe to rest for a few days, as she had suffered so much both physically and mentally. This time she agreed without a fight. "You are mine to take care of. If you agree to that, then stay home and rest. You can start working again when you finish your education. You don't have to struggle so much anymore. Concentrate on your studies for

After 3 years"Dr Chloe, you have a patient waiting for you in your cabin" nurse Lisa gave her a heads up, as soon as she stepped outside the elevator on the second floor."Thank you Lisa" Chloe smiled at the nurse.Chloe is now a successful physiotherapist working in a big hospital in the city. She worked as an intern in this same hospital and they hired her directly after completing her masters.Chloe would be lying if she said she is surprised to see her immediate Boss David waiting for her in her cabin. Since she started working in this hospital as an intern two years ago, David is after her.He is handsome, successful, kind, and very persistent. He confessed his feelings for her more than a hundred times and every time her answer remained the same.'No' Her heart indeed is stuck up in the past with certain someone. She is sure he is happy with his wife and kids. But she couldn't convince her heart that he moved on and she s

Chloe dressed herself in a navy blue sheer body con dress, which reached her knees. It's sleeveless and has a high neckline. She combed her hair and tied it into a ponytail. She applied some mascara and pink lip gloss. She picked nude color pumps and she is ready to go. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed that she lost a lot of weight in recent years. She sighed and turned away from the mirror. A small smile lit up her face when she imagined Mia's face if she looks at her right now. She would definitely laugh at the way she is dressed. 'Why are you dressed up like an old lady? You are just 26, dress like one' she would say. She lost the interest to dress up nicely a long time ago. She doesn't have anyone whom she is trying to impress anyway.  She locked up her double bedroom apartment, which she purchased soon after she got a job. This came with a nice deal and she couldn't pass it up easily. It's on the second floor and the s

A hard punch landed on Nero's opponent, which made him stumble and fall to the ground with a loud thud. But the sound of his fall is drowned by the excited cheering of the crowd around them. Nero waited and wished that his opponent should get up and fight with him again. But to his disappointment, he didn't. Instead, the referee came and declared him as the winner of yet another round.  He lost count after his fourth opponent. He has been fighting his way through the best fighters they had and he won every single time tonight. He has to say, all of his opponents tried hard to win over him, but they failed. Who wouldn't want to win over their boss? Matteo is worried for his boss. He begged his boss that they should go back home, but he is refusing to budge. He has blood everywhere on his body. Some of it belongs to his opponents and some of it his own. If this continues for a little longer, then he is not sure if his boss would be alive to see the dawn.
