My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Chloe was not satisfied with enjoying time with her newborn baby when Alpha and Zero entered together. She frowned upon seeing both men appeared together, and her heart became anxious.

Each has his task, and usually, the one that appeared the most was Alpha. Zero always moved like a shadow and rarely showed himself.

This was the second time Chloe has seen a Zero in person. The first time was when Zero introduced himself as one of the shadow guards to protect him. And this was Zero's second appearance, making her confused and restless. Did something happen? Regardless, the fact that Alpha and Zero appeared together was not a good thing.

"Miss, you must get off this island. Leonard sent his mafia group and on their way to this island. They led by... Martin." Alpha said hastily.

"I don't understand. Shouldn't Leonard be taking care of Alvianc? Why did they come here? And also how did they find Miss Chloe?" asked Paul.

"The battle between Paxton and Alvianc is just a distraction. Leonard's main objective is to ensure that the first miss never returned to Eastern Wallace." Zero explained in a cold tone.

"This is what I'm afraid of," said Chloe sadly as she looked at her baby, who was still crying. She was not ready to let the world knew that she had just given birth.

Alpha came closer and crouched beside Chloe's wooden bed.

"If you wish, I will bring this child to his father. He is safer with his father than with us."

Alpha and Zero had disguised themselves as this island's residents and knew everything that happened to Chloe. They did not understand why their first miss would abandon her real background and marry some lowly unknown man. But they could see how much affection between the two as if no one could make them apart.

Hence, Alpha offered his suggestion to bring the newborn baby where the father was. He already knew the real identity of Chloe's husband after all.

Chloe's tears burst out as she nodded her head. "If he asks about me, please tell him... I already died in delivery progress." Chloe decided that she wouldn't leave Eastern Wallace or show her face in public if she survived Martin's enforcement.

She would disappear from her husband's sight. That way, the child would not know who his mother was and did not need to get involved in the Paxton family.

After Alpha left with Chloe's baby boy, Chloe once again felt a pain in her stomach.

"Rischa... it hurts..."

"What? Wait a minute."

"I don't know, but... Aaaaaaarrgh!!" once again, Chloe screamed in pain, leaving the men in panic at not knowing what to do.

The midwife immediately drove the men out to help with the birth of a second child. Because Chloe's bleeding was quite extensive, Rischa called another inexperienced midwife from the village. The three of them work together to make the second delivery went smoothly.

Unlike Paul and Lest, who was still glued to their place and didn't know what to do, Zero had gone and wet the log house where Chloe gave birth with oil.

"What are you doing?" Lest didn't like what Zero was going to do.

"We have no time. If the Miss wishes to hide her kids, we must erase the traces of their birth. I will burn this house down." Zero explained flatly.

It was as if they were racing against time, and they hoped their first Miss could give birth safely. After what feels like an eternity, they finally could hear the second baby's cry. 

This time Chloe just kissed her baby girl's forehead briefly before handing it to Rischa. Zero hurriedly drove out the two midwives by giving orders to bring clothes and clean water for Chloe immediately.

"Rischa, I want you to bring this child. Zero will take you to a safe place, then... bring this child to my house next year. Right now, you're the only one I could trust."

Rischa's eyes filled with tears when she heard that. She never knew who Chloe was but always be there whenever Chloe needed her. Therefore, Chloe already considered Rishca as her dear one, and the girl befriended Chloe blindly.

"Okay. I will bring her to you next year." came the response while wiping her tears.

Not long after, the fire began to spread in front of the house, and Zero quickly brought Rischa and the baby girl to a place where no one could find them.

Chloe, who was unconscious due to being too tired after giving birth and losing a lot of blood, was successfully escaped by using a particular medical helicopter without anyone knowing.

The wooden house burned down without leaving a trace, making all residents feel horrified and sorry for the mother and the newborn baby girl. The inexperienced midwife admired Chloe a lot since Chloe stayed with them. Because of that, she was devastated and cried all night because she thought Chloe died with her baby girl in the burning house.

Since Marc proposed to Chloe, the two of them have built their own houses some distance from the residents' residential areas. Their home was humbly made by woods and hay, making the villagers never expect the two to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

Who would have thought, when the two midwives returned with clean clothes and warm water, the house had been engulfed in flames until it was left with nothing but ashes.

Because it will take time to walk from Chloe's house to other inhabitants' houses, Lest and Paul had enough time to burn down the house without making the villagers suspect anything.

The inexperienced midwife thought that not only had Chloe did not survive, but Rischa had also died with them. The youngest midwife did not expect to see Chloe's daughter in New York center by chance twenty-five years later.

On the other hand, the first midwife to find out that Chloe gave birth to twins died several years later of age. She kept the fact that Chloe gave birth to twins per Zero's request. Therefore, no inhabitants knew that Chloe gave birth to a twin.

At Chloe's request, Zero brought Rischa to Eastern Wallace a year later. Rischa only found out about Chloe's true identity when she arrived at Eastern Wallace. Rischa was baffled, but she still genuinely adored Chloe.

Even when she had to pretend to work as Chloe's attendant, she didn't mind either. A year later, when Rinrin was able to walk and speak first words so adorably, Rischa and Chloe had the same concern.

"Miss, this child is getting more and more like you," opined Rischa.

"You're right. She won't be safe by my side." Chloe replied, letting little Rinrin play with her hands.

Rinrin was getting bored playing with her fingers, then turned to Rischa with her hands raised wanting to be carried.

"Mama, mama, carry me."

It's just that Rischa didn't move and let Chloe carry her. But little Rinrin still wanted Rischa and started whining.

"Shh... Rinrin, let me hug you for a moment, okay? I promise I will let you go after this." said Chloe while kissing Rinrin's face gently. Then she gave her daughter to Rischa. "Let her play with the boys. I'll think of a way to get you out without arousing my family's suspicions."

"I'll make an unforgivable mistake, and you can fire me."

"I can't do it. It only means you will leave this place disrespectfully."

"I don't mind it," replied Rischa sincerely. "Then I'll take her to the park." then Rischa came out of Chloe's room, followed by Zero into her room through a secret door hidden behind one of her wardrobes.

"You came on time. I have a request," said Chloe. "Within forty-eight hours, I will deactivate Stealth, after which you both can go. You don't have to protect me anymore. Let LS do the protection."

"You know I can't do it."

Chloe turned her head towards the person in the red mask in confusion. At first, she thought Zero was the one who appeared in her room because she knew Alpha had been missing ever since he brought her son. 

"Alpha? You're back?"

"I always coming back for you."

"What?"

Chloe frowned when 'Alpha' made an approach toward her in a daunting aura. She stepped back each time the man stepped forward until her back hit the wall, making her no longer could escape.

"What are you doing?"

"The one thing I should have done a long time ago."

How strange. Why Alpha's voice is more husky than usual? Why does it feel like the Alpha in front of her was not the Alpha she once knew?

"You're not the Alpha I know. Has Alpha changed generations?"

Then the man took off his mask, making Chloe gasped in disbelief at what she saw. Her heart was beating fast, and she held her breath when the man leaned his two hands to trap her. 

Chloe was confused at the same time she was worried. Why is this man doing here?
