CHAPTER TWELVE

"Chloe. What's going on?" Jamie asked more suspiciously. "Are you keeping something from us?" She asked again.

"Is that true? Are you keeping something from us?

Their questions were becoming too much and overwhelming for her that she blurted out, "Yes, I am!"

Jamie and George were wide-eyed in shock as they wondered what she was keeping away from them.

"What are you hiding?" They asked, unintentionally in sync.

Jamie went further to ask, "What could that be?"

Chloe's vibrant eyes suddenly looked dull and slightly downcast as she stared at the ground as if searching for solace.

Her eyes welled with unshed tears, ready to pour forth at any moment, revealing the depth of her sorrow as she found her way to the neatly arranged set of sofa where she sat down, leaving them completely stressed out and outrightly worried.

She was still a very big and important part of their plans which makes her a VIP.

"Chloe…" Jamie called out as she took a seat beside her on the couch

    Blake swiftly got up to his feet, his eyes filled with worry, "Chloe, what is wrong with you? Do you need me to come over? Is that place safe at all?""No…No, don't come!" Chloe replied sharply. "If you can– Forget I called." She added and immediately ended the call. Blake continued to pace about worriedly. In the end, he couldn't get a wink. ***Chloe had just had her nightmares that night and when she woke up, she sat on the floor, hiding at the corners of her bed while she watched George sleep peacefully. She realized she had made a big mistake calling Blake by that time of the night, especially after how he treated her the previous day. 'Stupid– stupid.' She cursed, her eyes bloodshot and her body covered in sweat. She continued to cry, blaming herself for the pain she was going through. Not only has she lost love, she has also lost her self-worth. The betrayal did a number on her mental health.Scenes from the horrible night played consistently in her head, causing her noth

    "What?" Chloe asked in disbelief, her eyes widened in shock. "Is he keeping an eye on me now?" She wondered. "Yeah. Apparently, someone has been following you and upon reporting to your husband, he finds it obviously suspicious and he's on his way." Blake explained further. "He's on his way?" Chloe asked and Blake just nodded in affirmation. Chloe gently bit the tip of her index finger thinking of what to do. Leaving the Hospital in haste before George arrived won't change anything. If anything, it would make him more suspicious of her since he already knew she was here so leaving wasn't an option. She needed to kill his suspicions before they pile up. 'Huh, Juan!' She gasped as she picked up her phone and stood up to her feet. She quickly dialed Juan's number and paced around, waiting for him to answer."Chloe, what are you doing?" Blake asked curiously as he also got up to his feet and walked towards her. "Aish…" She groaned, biting her fingertip a little more aggressively a

    CHAPTER FIFTEENAs Chloe drove her Benz into the mansion, she was both confused and surprised to see Marlowe's mansion crowded and in a mess with thick dark fumes coming through the backyard of the mansion. Two fire trucks, an ambulance, a black van, and a Royal car were in the compound, confusing her even more. "What the hell…" "SIL, thank goodness you're finally here. We've been trying to reach you and George but it's not going through." Ruby complained as she pulled Chloe towards the garden at the back of the house. "What's going on Ruby? Where is the smoke coming…" Chloe could barely complete her statement when she sighted from a distance, the classic hut in the garden burning fiercely. "OH, MY WORLD!" Chloe mouthed in disbelief, her eyes widened in shock. "What happened, Ruby? How on earth did this happen?" She asked curiously. "We don't know anything yet. Nothing is certain but Uncle Chris…" "NO!NO!" Uncle Chris' voice cut Ruby shut as he fought the firefighters, trying

    "You looked so cute with your flustered face, I just couldn't resist." Chloe squeaked delightfully while still staring into Blake's shiny brown eyes. Zane coughed, pulling their attention to his presence and Blake immediately gasped, finally able to breathe again as he quickly dropped his gaze from Chloe's unwavering eyes. "Don't you agree with me?" Chloe asked, turning to look at Zane who was looking even more flustered. Blake quickly used the opportunity to bring out a small packed bag from his inner coat and as soon as Chloe turned back to face him, he dangled the bag in front of her face. “This will help with your diagnosis. You should take care of your health to fight against such strong opponents.” Blake skillfully diverted the topic as he was unsure of his emotions. “What?” Chloe asked, sounding offended. “It was just a kiss– A peck and you’re already afraid I might infect you with my disease? It's not like I’m asking you to sleep with me!” She scolded angrily, her words l

    Zane took his time accessing Blake's reaction and facial expression to detect just how serious he was before he asked, "Blake, are you being serious right now?"Blake got up to his feet and paced around for a while before he stopped right in front of Zane and began explaining himself, "I mean– she's definitely getting a divorce, that's what this whole thing was built on. You saw her back there, she was determined to leave him. This could be heaven helping me get back my lost love." "Blake, this is insane. Your thoughts! They are insane! Just crazy!" Zane scolded before walking to his room. Blake remained seated for a while thinking about his statement. This has been the only thing on his mind since the kiss. Ever since they started meeting up secretly, his hidden desires for her reignited. She was all he could think about day and night and when she pecked his cheek, wild imaginations filled his heart, and the desire to make her his tripled. “You can’t lose this chance again, Blake

    "Chloe, calm down, okay?" Blake tried to calm her down before he continued, "If they caught him alive for all these years, it means he is crucial to their plan and they can only use him when he is sane, which means they would have to keep him sane."Chloe calmly thought about Blake's statement for a while. It made a lot of sense so she decided to go with it. "That's a relief." Chloe sighed, relaxing her tense muscles. "I'm curious about one thing. Where is the entry to the basement?" She asked curiously. "It's in the garage–" "Under Father-in-law's oldest car which has been parked for years." Chloe quickly completed it. "I'm not sure about that. It's been a long time since I last entered the garage. What makes you think so?" Blake asked curiously. "I– I remember that day. I had come to visit George about a few days before my Dad's disappearance. I saw some men digging up that place. Later when I was married into the house, I saw the car that has since then been permanently parked

    LATER THAT DAYChloe had just concluded her office work for the day and was about to go home. She sat in her car holding the bag of drugs Blake had given her the other day. 'Tsk…he didn't even tell me how to use it.' She scoffed, remembering how fluttered he was that day.She took out her phone and face-timed Blake.At that time, Blake was also on his way home and he wasn't hesitant in answering the call. "You didn't give me a prescription." She complained, dangling the drug in front of his face. “Oh– that’s doxycycline. You will take it every day until it's finished.” He instructed. "Chloe, a little respect wouldn't hurt, would it?" Zane chimed in. "What did I do now?" Chloe asked cluelessly. Blake stared blankly, looking equally clueless. "No greetings? Just straight to the point! The Chloe I knew before never even called Blake by his name or even looked into his eyes. But now you're so different I'm beginning to think you're possessed." Zane pointed out his observation. Blak

    SATURDAY "Chloe, go through the guest list one more time." George suggested as he handed over a file to Chloe, nervously pacing about Chloe's office. "Sure." Chloe replied as she collected the file. She got up and held onto George's hands and gently massaged it. "George, you don't have to be so nervous. Everything will go perfectly well." She motivated him. "I know, right? I've invited the most influential people in Castile, thanks to Dad." He went on. "Yeah." She smirked. "Why don't you go and check on the hall and see where they are in preparation?" Chloe suggested. George nodded repeatedly as he replied, "You're right, I should do that." "A good luck hug?" He suggested as he spread out his arms anticipating Chloe's embrace. Chloe was because she had a lot going on in her mind but she won't let a simple and meaningless hug ruin her plan so without much hesitation, she walked into his arms, hugging him tight.

    It was a day of festivity in the Kensington Palace as it marks exactly one month since Chloe returned to the palace with her twins, as well as the date the family had set for their official white wedding. On Chloe’s part, it was easier to forgive Blake’s parents as they weren’t exactly hostile to her. All she ever wanted was to become Blake’s accepted wife, and now she finally got the opportunity. At first, she was worried they had accepted her because of the baby, but after finding out how long Braxton had been trying to abolish the law, she realized they did love her for her. Chloe was a sight to behold. Dressed in a stunning white gown adorned with intricate lace and sequins, no one could tell she just gave to the two genders of life. “Woah! You look magnificent!” Victoria complimented as she walked into the dressing room where Chloe was. “I know, right? The dress fits so perfectly that no one would guess she just put to bed.” Ruby chimed in as she adjusted her ethere

    Hot tears trickled down Blake’s eyes as he stared at his parents. “Blake, we’re sorry…” Diana apologized, also tearing up. “You know, I wasn’t the one you offended.” Blake pointed out. “We will apologize to her when she’s back.” She said, “Just please bring back my daughter-in-law.” She begged.Bryce scoffed in disbelief, “She is your daughter-in-law now?” Blake faked a smile as Bryce had asked the question he meant to ask. “Abolishing a law is not as easy as you think. It requires a lot of debate within the parliament, votes, and mutual understanding. It took me five months to finally achieve this. You won’t understand until you are in my position.” Braxton said. “Do you want me to be grateful?” Blake wondered, not sure why he was telling him this. “No.” Braxton replied, “I just need you to know that Chloe can be your queen and your equal now. I wonder why they even made that law and why I had to fight so hard to support it.” He added before turning away and walking towards hi

    As Blake had promised, he sent Zane to Wexissia as soon as he resumed office as the crown prince just a few days after his return. But Zane’s journey was fruitless. He searched around the house and realized she wasn’t home. At first, he thought she had stepped out since all her belongings were still intact, but after days of waiting and asking around, he realized she never returned home after seeing Blake off. Back at home, Isabella tried to get an audience with Blake, which became unnecessarily hard since his return. Fortunately, Blake also had a reason to meet Isabella since Chloe sent him to her. After settling things with his family, he found time to go to her school and meet with her. Isabella became anxious after finding out that Blake returned a few days earlier without Chloe, and so as she stepped into his car, he began to inquire about her. “Where is my sister? How could you leave her alone there?” Isabella asked curiously. Blake explained how she’d threaten to kill he

    Blake chuckled, not willing to believe her, “Chloe, you must be exhausted. Go to bed now.” He suggested and attempted to lay back down, but Chloe had to show him how serious she was. She quickly grabbed a scissors which she’d placed on the drawer beside her and started to cut herself. Blake was triggered, quickly pulling the scissors from her grasp. “Chloe, are you crazy? What has gotten into you?” He asked angrily as he covered her injured hand with his palm and reached out for the first aid kit, which was in the drawer beside the bed. “Maybe if I am dead, you won’t hesitate to go back home.” She said, “Chloe, you can’t be serious about that…why all of a sudden?” He asked, applying first aid while still quite stunned by her decision. “It isn’t all of a sudden, Blake, I have made my decision, and if you don’t leave by tomorrow, I will kill myself.” She threatened, and without waiting to know if Blake was done with his first aid, she pulled her hand away and covered hersel

    Holding a small pregnancy stick, Chloe stared at herself in the mirror, the sun reflecting through their three bedroom apartment window. Even though she was already five months gone, her stomach was still as flat as ever. She remembered the first time she found out she had a cryptic pregnancy when she first passed out at the hospital after Blake recovered from his gunshot wound. At first she wanted to inform the family during the big feast but after hearing their decision, she decided to keep it a secret even from Blake because she didn’t want to seem like she was forcing herself on him. Even though she knew Blake wouldn't think that way, she was worried his family could misinterpret it and even end up forcefully accepting her because of the baby. Two months after living as a married couple in Wexissia, she still couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth until today, which she’d chosen to tell him. Blake wasn’t home at that time because instead of just retiring, he decided t

    It took another week for the matter to die down, and the royal family decided to invite everyone that are now considered as family to a huge feast that they had organized. Shortly after the desert, the king and his wife summoned Chloe and Blake to his office along with Victoria and Zane, leaving the kids and Laila out. “I am sure you understand the royal family has been in turmoil for a while now, and adding a contradictory marriage to it will only make the people question the power of the royal family.” Braxton explained, and Blake already started to frown. “What he is trying to say is that we will support your marriage, but only on one condition…” Diana said. Chloe felt a glimmer of hope, seeing that his family were finally going to support them, but Blake knew his parents well and didn’t have any hope whatsoever. “What condition?” He quickly asked, “That you will take her only as a concubine. She can’t be your equal, and you will have to take a wife first before yo

    “How could you let her do that? You should have forced her or something!” Blake complained upon hearing the tales of her action since he lost consciousness. He gently caressed her hand as she rested on his bed while he sat on the chair where she was seated earlier. “My brother did everything he could as a king, but she refused to listen and exercised every right she had as a citizen. Don’t even go there.” Victoria explained. “We were all scared to death when she kept throwing up and feeling sick without even eating anything. I don’t think there is anything we haven’t done to make her listen, but it was just as if we were talking to a rock.” She explained further.They were still discussing when Zane and the King who had just heard the news of Blake regaining his consciousness arrived, but to their dismay, the patient was now taking care of the guest. “This girl? She just always has to be so annoying.” Zane complained.Blake gave him a bombastic side-eye, asking, “Did you even apolo

    The palace was in a haze, and the violence Blake tried so hard to prevent eventually happened. Blake suffered three blank shots to his chest while Dawson suffered over seven gunshots. They were both rushed to the hospital. After hours of being in the theaters, the doctors operating on Dawson eventually stepped out. Unfortunately, none of his family were by the door waiting for him. Only the prosecutors were.The doctors didn’t hesitate to respond since they understood what circumstances he was brought there. “He is currently braindead, and his organs are failing rapidly. With life support, it would be a miracle he makes it past two days, but that miracle won’t happen the following day.” Despite his critical condition, once he was moved to the wards, he was handcuffed to his bed because of the magnitude of his crime. Meanwhile, Blake’s surgery took a few more hours. His surgery was quite critical because he was shot very close to the heart, and the best surgeons around the globe f

    Blake's smile slowly turned into a psychotic laughter that scared the crap out of Dawson for a while. He looked at the plotters and asked, “Don’t you also find this funny?” He said, pointing at the guards who had dragged his family to the dining room.“Once they fall into a deep sleep, those weapons become useless…” His voice trailed off as three guards slowly dropped to the floor one after the other, their weapons crashing beneath them. Real fear surfaced in the plotters face, and Vivian almost peed her pants. “Mr. Aspiring King, why don’t you go back to your seat? We have a whole lot to talk about today.” Blake suggested.Dawson was hesitant as he wasn’t sure whether or not his plans were going accordingly but one thing he knew was Blake had the upper hand for now and he needs to obey him until he thinks of another move. He sluggishly went back and sat among his people, beads of precipitation forming on his forehead. The ministers let out a sudden gasp, confusing Dawson, who was
