OUT OF ORDER SERIES: BOOK SIX
{Chinwem-Clement}
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Clement Ugwu springs upon Chinwem Chloe Nwabuagu out of nowhere.
He is hell-bent on getting her to be his, persistent and there is nothing she can do to dissuade him.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
'You will never be able to run away from me Chloe,' he told her, their faces inches apart.
Then, from his hands on her shoulders, his left hand travelled to the back of her neck in the speed of lightning, arched her neck back a bit as his lips descended on hers, hot and urgent.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
He wasn't her father-the Nwabuagu tiger-or one of her three exes; John, Collins and Chima.
Clement loved her.
Well, the others had claimed to love her too until they had seen, beheld all that was her, her true form, unlovable, repulsing, twisted and void.
What made Clement different?
She couldn't find a solid reason to set him apart from his predecessors.
They all pursued her relentlessly, tirelessly, claiming to want her, desire her.
They all made her theirs, later falling in love with her, building and planning a future with her.
Then, they all fell out of love with her when they saw the truth of her form.
Therefore, when Clement had come into her life, she had raised her walls higher, been thrice on guard.
Yet, he had slipped past all of her defenses and straight into her heart like cupid's arrow, melting it along with her walls and barricade.
She had had no idea of when all these had happened for he had been as swift as an unexpected tide.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Will Chinwem open her heart to Clement or will she hang on to her past, allowing the darkness of her past to haunt her away from him?
𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 1 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 ♡𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞♡ 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔
𝐀𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞, the 𝑪𝑬𝑶 of 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆, on her path to achieving her goal of becoming the next diamond queen, suddenly faced an unexpected turn of events that sent her straight back to what she always dreaded: marriage. She wasn't gamophobic or philophobic, but the thought of sharing her space, time, and life with someone intimately made her nauseous. But life never goes the way we desire-especially not when we're stubborn enough to resist what it demands. She had dodged relationships in the past like a soldier dodges bullets, but now it seemed inevitable. She had dreamt many things-good, bad, lucky, unlucky-but never imagined being married at the age of 32, that too to someone younger than her.
Enter 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐡. Looks like a cinnamon roll, is exactly a cinnamon roll. He could've been the golden child of his parents if he hadn't chosen to be a 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓. Coming from a family of diamond merchants, it was rebellious of him to take such a step-but sometimes young blood, in rebellion, makes the best decisions. He had planned his life perfectly: gain experience, earn money, buy land in North East India, and settle there in the peace of hills and greenery. But oh, my little boy-he is now tied to a marriage he never asked for. And the worst part? He has no idea why someone so beautiful, carrying the aura of buying tens of him, decided to marry 𝒉𝒊𝒎. Not his elder brother. Not any cousin. But him.
It wasn't just a shock-it was disbelief. He saw her eyes, and those brown orbs captivated him enough to keep him from noticing the glint of victory behind them. He had never even held a woman's hand in his entire life, yet now being hers made him feel he was in love. But... is she too?
What will happen the day he discovers the reason behind the marriage
