Chapter 115 ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
CHLOE
‘Aiden, you didn’t tell me she was this gorgeous. That’s not fair dude, I thought we are buddies’ he said, forcing a frown.
I don’t like him one bit.
Yes, he has the most beautiful pair of eyes I have ever seen. Eyes that can trigger you to reveal your deepest secrets and beg him to take you.
Yes, he also looked sexy as fuck, but I still don’t like him.
He looked charming but screamed danger.
Aiden coughed, ‘I didn’t want to bother you with the details.’
He waved it off. ‘Oh, you can never bother me with juicy news like this.’
He turned to me and said, ‘Aiden told me he found someone, but he wasn’t forthcoming with the full details.’
‘I’m sure he has good reasons,’ I responded.
He blinked ‘Such as?’
I forced a laugh ‘Maybe he doesn’t consider you so important’
Chloe, just fucking calm down, you don’t want to mess with him, yet not until you find out who he really is.
He started laughing so loud that I started wondering if I had cracked a joke.
‘I like you,’ he said after he finally stopped laughing.
I rolled my eyes. ‘I can’t say the feeling is mutual since I don’t know who you are.’
‘But I just told you my name.’
I shrugged ‘That’s not enough. Everybody has a name, including goats.’
He stared at me with a stern face at first, until his face broadened into a thick smile.
‘Chloe,’ Aiden called me.
I looked at him, and he was shaking his head, telling me, ‘Stop it.’
Lucien turned to Aiden ‘Come off it man, let the lady speak. I like her fire.’
‘I don’t have any fire,’ I snapped.
He chuckled, ‘Of course you do love.’
I clenched my teeth, ‘I’m not your love.’
‘Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just teasing you, that’s all.’
‘Maybe you shouldn’t really tease a pregnant woman, we don’t take it well,’ I told him, my tone very icy.
‘Chloe,’ Aiden called me again.
I became irritated. What exactly is his problem?
Does he really think that I can’t handle this nosy son of a bitch?
He should really stop treating me like a child. I don’t like it one bit.
‘What is it?’ I yelled as a question.
He was startled a little by my tone.
‘Can you just calm down?’
‘No, you are not my daddy. You do not tell me what to do’ I warned him.
‘Just go to your room Chloe, I will come and meet you there when I’m done,’ he told me again calmly.
I stumped my foot on the ground angrily ‘Don’t command me like I’m a three-year-old. I’m an adult, and I can decide when to leave this room, not you.’
Lucien was quiet; he was obviously enjoying the show.
Believe me, I didn’t want to do this in the presence of a stranger, but he asked for it.
‘Chloe, for once in your life, just listen to me. Go to your room’ Aiden said, almost begging.
I still remained adamant even when I knew he had good intentions.
‘I’m going to remain right here. I’m sure Mr. Lucien doesn’t bite, am I right, Mr. Lucien?’ I asked, looking at him.
He laughed ‘Of course not, I don’t bite. I don’t know why your partner is acting this way.’
‘He is not my partner,’ I corrected him at once.
He raised his head in confusion. ‘He is not?’
Aiden looked at me mouthing, ‘What are you doing?’
I ignored him and turned to Lucien. ‘He is my baby daddy, nothing more.’
Lucien shook his head ‘I don’t believe that. I know a man in love when I see one.’
I scoffed ‘Then you need glasses. It’s obvious your eyes are deceiving you.’
A pause.
Maybe I have finally succeeded in making him angry, at least I have finally put him in his place, or so I thought.
‘Who knows? I might be wrong and you might be right, but one thing I know is my brother Aiden likes you.’
I hissed, ‘You are so sure about that?’
He shrugged, ‘I know him well.’
‘And how do you guys know each other?’
‘Aiden is my dude. We fight a lot, but we still try to keep ourselves on our toes. You know how siblings fight?’
‘But you guys are not siblings, ’ I told him.
He shook his head ‘Oh no, but we are super cool. I still can’t believe it, Aiden is soon going to be a father.’
I didn’t speak.
‘I hope the journey hasn’t been so stressful on you?’
I sighed ‘There are good days and bad days. I’m just taking it one step at a time.’
‘And I hope Aiden’s world isn’t exhausting for you?’ he asked.
‘I’m a tough girl, nothing scares me easily.’
He smiled at me again. ‘I’m glad you are tough for yourself and also for your unborn child.’
‘Yeah,’ I responded.
He gestured to Aiden ‘I hope he hasn’t been stressing you?’
I scoffed ‘Well, if you mean by being very controlling and overprotective, then your answer is yes’
He clapped his hands excitedly ‘Overprotective, you say? Haa, that’s surprising.’
Another pause.
‘You must be very happy,’ he said, pointing at my stomach.
‘Who wouldn’t be?’ I fired back.
‘Just try to be careful, we wouldn’t want anything to happen to either you or your baby now, would we?’
I blinked. That was a threat.
He threatened me right in front of Aiden.
I was about to yell at him when he cut me short ‘I will see myself out. Bye Chloe, it was nice meeting you.’
And with one final wink, he waved at us and walked out of the office.
‘What the hell were you thinking? I told you to leave, why didn’t you just listen to me?’ Aiden barked.
‘Because I’m not going to allow him to make me feel like a lesser human being, I will always stand up for myself.’
‘Do you even know who he is?’ he asked.
‘I don’t fucking care if he is the president of this country or the most feared man in the world, I won’t let him scare me!!!’
Aiden blew an exasperated breath and started pacing around the room.
‘I’m not scared of him,’ I said again.
He hissed ‘Wow, I guess you have superpowers now. He is not someone you can challenge Chloe, learn to listen to fucking instructions!!!’
