The moment, she stepped into the room, her eyes fell on the corners of the room.
A depressing devastated look crept onto her face.
She felt weak at the knee instantly.
At one corner of the room, Aunt Jodie was being held captive by the men, her hands were frailed in the air.
With the men holding her back from moving any further.
Struggling to release herself, she kept cursing at the woman, who gave them the order to pull her away from there.
While on the other side, the woman sat on the bed close to Andrea.
In her hand was a pointed edge knife, the knife looks shiny like a newly purchased object.
And the reflection of the sunlight falling on it makes it even more dangerous.
Bending over slowly, she put the knife right under Andrea's throat with her hand moving forth and back gently, she made to slide open her wound
With a dramatic tone, the woman turned around. Filing the knife against her palms. “Oh look at who we have here! , it seems we are going to have a family reunion right at the hospital, what do you say! Matilda asked sauntering around her with a smirk plastered on her painted face. Her questions were directed at no one in particular. When she was standing face to face with Chlor, she suddenly changed her expression to that of a vengeful woman. She was about to say a word or two when Chloe beat her to it. “Matilda, what do you want from us? Why are you doing this to us? She asked with a shaky teary tone, her voice is as low as ever but you could hear the pain in her chest. “Oh looks like you have got some nerves, you've learned to be rude to me, right? I'm your mother and you are supposed to address me as one, not the other way round
With a painful heart, Chloe replied. “We didn't leave with any of your things, please let us be now! Moving back sharply, Matilda let out a loud chuckle. “I know you didn't leave with anything that belongs to me, but your silly muted sister is sitting on what should be rightfully Maddie's from the beginning ” Puzzled by her outburst, Chloe ranked her brains to figure out what she was going on about but there was nothing to think about anyway. “Something of yours? We didn't take anything, Matilda! “Oh yes, you did! You stole Maddie's inheritance and I will ask you just this once to return them!” She replied fledging the papers at her, with a constricted look Chloe bent over and picked up the papers. Matilda boiled with so much anger, watching Chloe act li
With a mocking voice, Matilda approaches Chloe and held her by the shoulders, swerving her around ferociously. “Have you seen what your begging asses stole from us? now, I need you to be a good girl and return it to us, I want everything to be the last of the penny! She ordered, stretching forward a pen. Shocked by her orders, Chloe blinked her eyes severally, trying to digest everything. How can she ask them to return their rights to her? This is so wrong and she won't allow herself to be a victim of such a conspiracy. “What? This belongs to Andrea, I won't give it away to anyone. It belongs to Andrea and only she has the right over it! Chloe yelled, hiding the papers behind her back to prevent Matilda from snatching them away. “Let's see how long you are going to keep up with this act, you silly girl! Matilda said w
She waved without minding the people around, With tears in her eyes, she fell to her knees allowing her pains to captivate her. “It's a good thing, you made the right choice, your family would have suffered the consequences of your ill intentions! “How could you think of running away with the man's baby!!? “I'm not pregnant! A voice said behind her and she turn to have a look but suddenly a clothe covered her nose and face, she was unable to see anything. “You sure are not pregnant yet, but that doesn't mean you are not going to be soon! The old man said, immediately they took Chloe away to a hospital in the city. The place was deserted, Chloe was left in the care of the nurses and midwives. Settling her on the bed, she kept struggling to free herself, then an old man walked into the room. His face is covered with wrinkles. “Your family will be
She woke up early the next day, after settling Audrey down at home, she hailed a cab at the gate of her neighborhood right sweat to go to the Grande Cooperation at the town center. This day was the Grandex Cooperation's quarterly job interview, so people were scurrying in and out of the place. It looks a bit crowded due to the large number of people that came to seek employment at the reputed cooperation. Looking at the large crowd, she was heartbroken. The level of unemployment in the city seems to have shot up in the last couple of years. How heartbreaking!! She alighted from the cab and joined the other job seekers. Just then, her eyes fell on the elevator “Hey, stop! wait up, wait for me Seeing that the elevator was about to close Chloe ran there in high heroes shoes. Then she gritted her teeth and dashed into the elevator before the elevator door closes
Everyone at the scene was shocked. How dare she makes such a boastful bet with the boss? She had only contributed 15 percent to My Lady Hotel's monthly income when she worked there for two years. Then, how the earth does she think, she would pull off such tricks. She even went ahead to propose a bet to the boss, how ridiculous! Kelvin closed the food in front of him, toss it aside. Putting his hand on the table, he stood up and bent over slightly. “What if you can't make it happen, then? Chloe's smile grew even broader, and dazzling, as she didn't flinch for a second. “If I can't make it happen, then I will sell myself to the Grandex hotel and be at your service for three years, how about that? do you dare to accept this bet? “Accept, accept!!, do it already Kelvin,” David urged at one side. “You'll be a coward if you don't accept the bet, Kelvin!”
The day Chloe report to work was the Great Grandex Hotel's 15th anniversary. After a brief introduction with the staff and other chefs at the hotel, Chloe got snowed with the anniversary's preparation. Being the assistant head chef, she was given the responsibility of arranging the food. With determination, Chloe went into the kitchen and prepared all the meals. Although she is not going to be working at this fancy hotel after today, she decided to leave an impression behind. That way, she would have worn the hearts of some foodies. After preparing for the food, she went over to the lobby. A thin layer of sweat bead covered her forehead as she stood in the lobby while giving instructions to the staff members and chefs, along with the waiters. “Chloe!” Chloe froze for a moment upon hearing the familiar voice. Her hands, which were resting on
“Pardon !” “I mean Gabriel and my wedding anniversary party!” She raised her hand to show the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger. With a look of smugness in her eyes, she curled her lips into a smile, saying “It's on the fifth of next month. I hope that you'll be there, you are my sister after all ” The familiar and expensive diamond ring was so dazzling that it stung Chloe's heart She remembered herself pointing at a ring in a jewelry store along with Gabriel in the past, saying that she must have this ring as her wedding ring. She didn't expect this ring to end up on Maddie's finger at this present time. Chloe brushed the bang of hair strand on her forehead, then raise her brows with a painful smile on her face. She said, “I never knew you two got married, anyways congratulations to you both, you two deserve each other !” She said affectiona
