9-Month Bump

Once he believed, but was broken. Falling in love was never part of the rules. And all his life it seemed easy and simple, especially when you're running a billion-dollar company. But she came along and everything changed. **** A girl who always believed in true love but seemed to fall short every time. Being tossed back and forth between ties. She's only so lucky to have her best friend Vanessa by her side. She's at it again, but everyone seems harder than the last. ***** Chloé Hughes sits on a mildly comfortable chair, her eyes on the mirror. Even with all the distraction, she couldn't help but lose herself in her thoughts. Both with excitement and anxiety as she processes her current situation. With her past, she couldn't be sure if she was making a mistake or making herself happy. If was too much of a risk, and if it is good enough. Almost at the point of no return, she's unsure to let go or keep pushing. Chloé is a young woman who's trying to find herself in life. Everything was not perfect, but not complicated either. She works at a small diner, or rather worked. All the support she could get from her family. And everything she needed to survive. Then Dylan the rich millionaire came along, her life became a rollercoaster ride. At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but she was never prepared for the ride ahead. One thing for sure, she loved Dylan dearly and surely believed she was blessed. The man had everything a man can ever have. The charm, the money, lips eloquent, confidence and respect. With a family name, that could only mean wealth. He could possibly get any girl he wanted, including her too. Everyone, even her, they believe this is a start of something beautiful. They just couldn't comprehend the fact of having money thrown everywhere around them. Well, she thought her family was supporting her, when in fact they were just supporting themselves. They didn't care about her, only the money her new man was giving them. She should have gotten the sign when they forced her to get married to the man. But she was also so blinded by the money, she couldn't tell how much of a fool she's been. Only to realize when she was shoulder deep. Just after her wedding that she found out he was cheating on her with her sister. She was deeply broken to be so blinded and fooled by those she held so dear. She couldn't take it and was more than ready to get out of it. But her family encouraged her not to. And when Dylan and her sister apologized, she changed her decision. They are family after all and everyone makes mistakes. They assured her it was a once off thing and that it will never happen again. She believed them and listened to them. It was no deny that she loved Dylan so much and was not ready to lose him yet. Not over such a silly mistake. But looking back at it now, she should have. She should have left the water before she started drowning. She saw the signs of the storm, but she ignored it. But now her mind reflects, memories rewind and she should have known better.
