A LIAR AT THE ALTAR: CHAPTER 1 – 10
? Chapter 9?
This wasn’t the right time for them to find out the truth, Tristan was still in the hospital bed and somehow I wanted to know his reason.
“Your health and the baby’s is very important.”
She said.
“Seriously I’m fine.”
I gave her a small smile.
“Don’t be stubborn and go with her already.”
Nana said from where she was sitting.
“Why don’t you all head home, It’s late and you all look tired. I will make sure Chloe sees the doctor.”
Adrian finally came to my rescue.
“Please do that.”
“I will take her to the Doctor I promise.”
“Okay. Take care of yourself, Honey.”
She hugged me again before letting go.
Nana came to hug me too, she smiled at my tummy before pulling away.
“Goodnight Chloe.”
“Goodnight Nora.”
I watched them as they disappeared down the large hallway until they entered the elevator.

I exhaled in relief when the elevator doors closed, Adrian chuckled beside me.
“That wasn’t funny.”
I said, glaring at him.
“You should go home and have some sleep.”
“You need that more than I do.”
The company business was tolling on him especially with Tristan’s issues.
“I will drop you off, I have to be at work before seven. There’s a big deal I have to seal tomorrow.”
“I’m not leaving yet.”
I wasn’t ready to return to the big house.
“Why?”
“Morris will take me home when I’m ready.”
That was all I told him.
“Okay but make sure you rest, have you eaten?”
“Yes,” I lied. I wanted him to go home and rest and stop worrying about me.
“I will see you tomorrow.”
He placed a quick kiss on my forehead and headed for the elevator that just opened.
I sat down and ran my palms down my thighs that were covered in my high-rise jeans.
Morris sat at the other seat across from me, he was reading a sports magazine. I looked around and stood up, I walked to the door and held the cold door handle, will the hospital kick me out if I went against their order?
I only wanted to take a peep and go home, I opened the door and moved my head in to look at him.
He had the IV connected to the back of his palm and another tube in his nose, I looked behind me before walking in and shutting the door quietly.
I walked to the bed and stared at his sleeping form, he looked so peaceful and adorable. I brushed his hair back with my hand, he had his demons he was fighting, big demons.
“You will overcome this I promise.”
I whispered. It took me a long time to overcome mine, though I didn’t know what his story was.
I brought the seat a few feet away closer and sat down, I planned to stay for ten minutes and leave but I drifted off to sleep immediately my head touched the bed.
“Chloe.”
I woke up to someone tapping me lightly on the shoulder. I grumbled before opening my eyes, they met a pair of blue eyes.
“Tristan?”
I sat up and looked around, I remembered walking in here to check on him but I doze off when I rested my head on the bed.
“Are you comfortable?”
He asked hoarsely still staring at me.
“Sorry I didn’t mean to doze off.”
I checked the room for a wall clock, I found one above the door, it was past 2 in the morning.
“You can sleep here.”
He pointed to the spot next to him, he moved to create more room when I stared at the space like it wasn’t enough for me.
“No, I’m okay.”
“It’s fine, there’s enough space for both of us.”
He sounded weak, the nasal canular in his nose moved every time he spoke.
“I don’t think it’s allowed and I don’t wanna make you uncomfortable with all the stuff connected to your body.”
“I’m the one paying the hospital bill and I’m very comfortable.”
I was getting worried about the way his voice sounded.
I shouldn’t even be here more so share a bed with a sick person but I needed him to shut up since the more he spoke the weaker he sounded.
“Okay,” I agreed.
I took off my bunny slippers and climbed the bed gently, scared I might hurt him. My body relaxed immediately it made contact with the bed, I felt so sleepy.
We had to share one pillow but I didn’t use the blanket covering him, the hospital gown he wore had only ropes at the back and I knew he was nked underneath.
His free hand moved to my shoulders so he could lie down comfortably, I stiffened and looked up at his face, his eyes were closed.
“Are you sure this is allowed?”
“Go to sleep, Chloe.”.
