Chapter 3: Marry Me

Adrian tried taking his eyes off Chloe after a few minutes of staring at her, but it just wasn’t working. After a few minutes of distracting himself, he will find himself staring at her again.

Chloe, on the other hand, tried using the back of her hand to clean off the tears that were strolling down her cheeks, but soon, her eyes got filled up again and she busted out crying like a baby this time around.

Adrian didn’t know what to do, he just sat at the other side of the bar staring blankly at Chloe. A few minutes later, three young old adults walked up to sit beside Chloe, but Adrian didn’t get bothered about it because he thought they meant no harm.

Immediately Adrian noticed that they were already making stupid advances at Chloe, he shook his head drawing the attention of his securities to Chloe’s table.

“Teach those three guys a lesson and bring that lady to my table,” Adrian whispered to the security while pointing towards Chloe’s table.

The securities were immediately taken aback as if the word they heard their boss spit out was an abominable word. They were shocked and surprised at the same time because this is the first time he will ever interfere in someone’s matter in this bar.

Anytime he see such about to happen in the bar, all he just does is stand up and walkout. What surprised them the most was the person he asked them to bring to his table was a lady.

“Are you still waiting for my order? Bring that lady to my table!” Adrian said in a low and calm tone.

“Noted boss!” they said in unison, stared at their boss and walked away.

When those three men who sat in front of Chloe noticed that she was dead drunk, they decided to use that opportunity and take advantage of her.

“Hey damsel, do you mind if we join your table and have a drink together?” One of the guys asked licking his lips seductively at Chloe.

Taking a glance at Chloe, he was already on the other side of the world imagining how Chloe would sound when shes beneath him. Chloe stared at them for a minute, but ignored them and continued sipping her alcohol.

“Damsel, lets leave this place. This surrounding isn’t good enough for you, we will make sure to take you home ourselves,” one of the guys said, stood up, and moved closer to Chloe.

He was about to touch her when he noticed a gun beside his ear. He wanted to argue with them, but he looked back and saw his friends shivering, he had to quickly surrender.

Adrian’s guards walked them out of the bar and threw them into the streets. Chloe, on the other hand, was dead drunk and unaware of her environment. She wanted to stand up and move around when her leg suddenly hit a metal and she staggered back almost falling, but Adrian was quick enough to catch her just before she could touch the ground.

Chloe dozed off the instant she noticed a hand held her waist. Adrian made Chloe stand upright and told his securities to take her to his car before he drove to his house.

Nathaniel, on the other hand, has been making different calls calling both his friends and his father’s associates if there could be anyone to get them out of this mess, but it’s seems everyone intentionally ignored them.

“Dad, have you tried talking to your shareholders or some of your friends?” Nathaniel asked.

“Yes, but all are negative answers. Where is Chloe currently? Tell her not to come home for the time being,” Mr. Blackwood said going through the files on his table.

“I can’t even reach, but I’m sure she’s okay wherever she might be,” Nathaniel said.

“Dad, they are already packing our properties to the station,” Nathaniel said, looking scared.

“There’s nothing we can do for now. Allow them pack it while we try to find a solution,” Mr. Blackwood said.

Mr. Blackwood has been a man of integrity right from time, many people were equally surprised on ow he got involved in illegal dealings, but no one dared to help him because of the threatening message they received. Nathaniel continued calling Chloe’s number while Mr. Blackwood continued contacting his friends maybe help can be rendered.

Mr. Blackwood didn’t know whether to cry or beg the officers as they took all his properties away, but he had to act strong in front of his only son.

The next morning, the bright sun shining inside the room Chloe was laid in made her face look more beautiful and charming. She tried opening her eyes, but the bright sun made her unable to do so as she had to use her right hand to shield the sun that was piercing through her eyeballs.

Chloe’s head was banging so hard from the pain of too much alcohol she took the previous night. She raised her head to look around and noticed she was in a strange room. She closed her eyes so hard as memories of what happened to her the previous night filled up her mind making her wallow in pain.

Chloe heard the door creaking open a few seconds later, but refused to look at the door.

“I’m glad you are finally awake!” Adrian said in a cold voice as he walked in.

Immediately Chloe heard the cold authorative voice, she sat straight on her bed only to see the Almighty Adrian Blake. She found it hard to believe that the handsome man standing across the room was no other person than Adrian Blake.

Chloe rubbed her face so many times to be sure of who she was seeing and yet, it still brought out the same result.

“What happened last night? The only thing I remember was being dead drunk and hitting my leg on a metal,” Chloe asked, careful not to get on the nerves of the big international business man as this was the first time she would see him this close.

The only frequent place she saw him was on the newspaper or TV station during any of his interview.

“Please, where am I?” Chloe asked, carefully looking around the white painted room.

“Marry Me!” Adrian said, not caring about the thousands of questions Chloe had in mind.

“What?” Chloe exclaimed shockingly before she let out a loud laughter.
