"How's work going?" Bella asked after getting inside Chloe's room and sat on the bed. Chloe, who was flatly laying on the bed, sat up after seeing Chloe. She let out a sigh after hearing the question.
"Don't ask. It's really stressful." She answered and ran a hand through her red hair and let out another sigh.
"I am sure it's not stressful because of the work pressure. Because I know how hardworking you are. So, what is it?" Bella asked with a small frown.
"We haven't had a night talk like this for a long time. I guess it's the time now. So, get inside the duvet and get comfortable because it's going to take time." Chloe said with a small smile and scooted aside to make a room for Bella.
"Okay!" Bella immediately agreed and got inside the duvet and gave her all attention to Chloe. "So, what's going on?" She asked in a serious tone. Chloe had a small frown of confusion after
Leave me reviews and gems!
"What the f-... Daniel?!" Katherine questioned with a frown as soon as she was faced with the person who just ruined her happy time. In front of her stood Daniel Domanco, her lovely fiancée who doesn't look too lovely at that moment. He looks as if he is going to burn down the whole place in a second. He was literally burning in anger. "I would like to hear you complete that sentence, Katherine." Daniel said while gritting his teeth. His eyes turned dark and he was literally shaking. Katherine just ignored his command and rolled her eyes at him which angered him more. "What are you doing here, Daniel? I don't understand why you are destroying my peace!" She exclaimed in irritation. "You are telling me that?! After ruining my peace?!" Daniel almost shouted at her which made her angry too. "Oh I ruined your peace? How?" She asked in a loud tone. Sh
"What do you want now, Miss Jones?" Sebastian asked and let out a sigh for the nth time that day. The whole day Chloe kept finding excuses to come into his office and irritate him by her unnecessary flirts. He was beyond pissed but he couldn't even say anything to her because she left him speechless every time before running into her office room. At the end of the day, they both were tired of her actions but had different feelings about it. For Sebastian, at first he was really irritated by her antics then but slowly as she continued to do this every opportunity she had, he stopped taking her seriously. The excuses she had to come in his room was amusing too. Sometimes it was in the pretext of the files he has given her or sometimes saying that she needed to see him to keep concentration. She was crazy! And slowly he started to enjoy her craziness. Not a lot but a little bit. On the other hand, Chloe fi
"I will be waiting for you. Come soon." He said and with one last goodbye, he kept the call. Just the moment he was going to put the phone inside his pocket and press on the elevator button, he heard the earth shattering scream. "HELP!" His eyes widened as he immediately recognised the voice. His heartbeat rose on it's own and he became a robot completely, he lost all his power of rational thinking and ran toward the stairs instead of taking the elevator. He remembered her saying that she was going to the pantry which was five floors down. Without thinking, he ran down all five pairs of stairs and reached the floor. The pantry was at the end corner of the floor. He could hear someone whimper even from there which made him run faster. He was scared. He was truly scared for her. A lot of negative thoughts ran in his head which really wasn't possible inside his office but still
"Thank you for taking me to the hospital and dropping me off." Chloe said in a low tone while trying not to look at him. It was already hard enough for her to have a tour from office to hospital and hospital to the apartment in his arms. Let's not mention the drama she caused in the hospital while the doctors took care of her wounds. Now she has a bandage wrapped around her hand and a patch on her legs. They will be fine within a few days. Now they were in the elevator of Chloe and Bella's apartment. Her pain has reduced so she was standing on her own. After they reached the building, Sebastian still picked her up and walked till the elevator with her in his arms. None of them said a single word between this. They were both lost in different thoughts. "Did the fall affect your head too?" He broke the long silence and looked at her with raised eyebrows. She looked up at
THE NEXT MORNING"Why do you have to go to the office today? You are not fully fine yet." Bella said in displeasure as she stopped the car and looked at Chloe."I am absolutely alright, Bella. The burn wasn't that deep. The burns are almost healed and I don't feel an ounce of pain in my leg." Chloe said with a smile while preparing her bag to get out of the bag."Still you could have taken the day off, Chloe." Bella said, still adamant to stay in her point."I can't take the day off, Bella. Only three weeks left and a lot of work is yet to be done under my name." Chloe tried to give a reason."Since when have you been so serious about work?! You were supposed to change Sebastian, not change yourself!" Bella exclaimed with a frown. Chloe frowned back after hearing her."I am not changing myself, Bella. I am the same. I am just becoming a litt
"What are you doing here, Miss Jones?" Sebastian asked in a serious tone he made sure to reflect his irritation in his tone. "I already told you. I brought your coffee." Chloe replied with a small shrug and went ahead to put the coffee in front of him. She put the coffee carefully. All the while he was watching her intently. He noticed that she wasn't wearing her regular heels. She was wearing a converse now and she was walking slower than usual. His eyes fell on her still bandaged hand. "I asked you to not come to the office today. Why did you come?" He asked in a cold tone with a deep frown. "Well, I wanted to come hence I come. Also I am absolutely fine now. Don't worry about this bandage, I am wearing it just because it looks cool. And I am walking absolutely fine too. So, I don't find any reason to take the day off. Also…" She voiced out all her reasoning in front of hi
"Devin? What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked as he stood up from his seat. But no answer came as the person called 'Devin' was lost in the sight of the beauty in his arms.Sebastian clenched his jaw seeing the scene in front of him. It boiled his blood for some reason. The sight of Chloe Jones in someone else’s arm didn’t sit well with him. He tried to get their attention but they both seem to be lost in their world’s, ignoring him completely. He stood up from his chair and walked toward the duo. He stood in front of them and they were still in the same position.He cleared his throat loud enough to bring Chloe's attention toward him and her eyes widened when she came back to earth. She quickly went ahead to stand straight while the man who was still holding her was in the same position. She was too fast to stop herself from banging her head with the man when she felt something soft on her forehead.
"Uhh… I must go...go… There is tons of work left." Chloe said after clearing her throat to get rid of the awkwardness which formed from the continuous glare from Sebastian from the past five minutes. She felt like a deer caught under the headlight under his burning gaze. She doesn't know why she was feeling so meek because she doesn't have anything to be afraid of. But still she can't deny the fact that Sebastian is intimidating. "What do you think you were doing?" He asked in his icy cold tone, making a shiver run through her spine. "Wh...what do you mean?" She asked while stuttering a little at the start. "You don't understand?" He asked with gritting teeth, proving that he was angry and she just nodded her head negatively, making him angrier. He reached her in one quick step and got a hold of her hand. Before she could understand anything, he spinned her around and in a b
"All the participants did a really good job in this first round. I would like to welcome you all once again. And congratulations for coming this far." Mrs Latina said while looking at all the girls who participated in the contest and now standing on the stage, in front of them. They were all waiting patiently for the result which held their presence on the stage in future."It was nice meeting you all but it's really sad that we have to abide by the rules to choose the best one which means we have to say goodbye to some of the contestants today only. Hope we will meet again sometime in the future somewhere." Mr Johnson said while smiling at all of them."Coming to the results, we didn't select anyone in order. There isn't any position I'm this result which we are going to let out now. No one is first, second or anything in this around. We just selected the finalists for the next round, that's it." This time Mr Smith said with a smile b

“Calm down, Chloe!” Sebastian said with a hidden smile as he hugged her tightly.“I can't calm down. I am so angry right now. Oh god! How dare she?” Chloe fumed while hugging him back tightly.“Don’t listen to her Chloe. Don’t you trust me? I am yours and will always be yours. No one can change that.” He said in an assuring tone.“I will not let that change as well. You are stuck with me forever and whoever will try that, I will kill them with my hands.” She said with gritted teeth.“Whenever you talk like this, I feel like…” He trailed off as he cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes. Her cheeks turned red when she saw the intensity in his eyes.“You feel like…?” She asked as her eyes dropped to his lips."Kissing you senselessly."
"You think you are so smart, huh?" Chloe turned around to look at the source of the irritating voice which definitely belonged to Samantha. Chloe let out a sigh and turned around to look at her with an irritated look on her face. "Think?! I know I am smart and now the world knows that as well." Chloe said with a smirk. Samantha didn't seem to like that part. She looked at Chloe with a devilish look on her face. "You think you did a great job by flaunting your husband and father back there, right?" She asked while closing the distance between them a little. "I didn't flaunt, Samantha. I never wanted to mention them in the first place, that's why I made them say that. Our introductions are clearly written in the participation form. They know everything about us but still want us to tell them because they want to see how we are. So, instead of telling the same thing they
One by one beautiful women started to walk in gracefully in their beautiful dresses and do a small cat walk before introducing themselves. There were thirty contestants. A lot of girls got rejected in the selection round after the registration. Now only thirty of them will compete with each other which will come down to twenty after the first round only. So, the competition is hard."Now we would like to call Miss Samantha in to introduce herself and impress our wonderful judges!" Arthur said and everyone clapped.Samantha was standing backstage, after her were two more girls and then Chloe. As Chloe was the last one to register for the contest, her serial was at the end.Samantha turned around and looked at Chloe with a smirk, which Chloe didn't pay heed to."Watch me. I am going to pass this round easily and I am sure you are going home from there only." She said in
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Today I am Arthur. I welcome you all to the biggest beauty contest of the country, MISS NEW YORK BEAUTY CONTEST!" The host said and everyone clapped after him. "This year, the contest is going to be a little different than the past years. Because this year not only Miss but Mrs can join the contest as well! Because you are coming out of the stereotype of labelling women!" The host announced and everyone clapped again. "We have very beautiful ladies as participants today but before getting introduced to them, I would like to introduce our three honourable guests. They will follow the beautiful ladies throughout the journey and choose a perfect and deserved winner eventually." Everyone clapped once again. "Now, let's welcome Miss Latina, one of the best fashion designers around the world." He said and a beautiful woman, wearing a beautiful dress walked from the r
"Oh my god! You are looking beautiful!" Bella and Katherine squealed at the same time as soon as Chloe came out of the changing room wearing the dress."Thank you so much, girls! Do I look okay?" Chloe asked as she did a small twirl for them to see and they did a squeal again."You look more than perfect! Ahh! So beautiful!" Bella squealed with a hand on her heart."Wait, give me a pose! Let me click a picture and send it to Sebastian. He will be awestruck." Katherine said with a wink, making Chloe laugh."No, don't send him a full photo, let's tease him." Chloe said in a mischievous tone, making them chuckle at the plan."Okay, let's do this! Did he call you yet?" BKatherine asked as she and Katherine started to take half photos of her where her full face wasn't visible or only her hair or part of body was visible.

Look who's here!" Samantha said in an insulting tone, making Chloe roll her eyes at her. She was going to reply to her when Samantha spoke up again. "The homewrecker." She snapped at her, making Chloe frown. The other girls in the room laughed while hearing her."Whose home did I wreck by the way?" Chloe asked with a raised eyebrow as she crossed her arms and stood up with her chin held high. She was radiating confidence. Samantha's face became red in anger as she glared at Chloe."Mine! You destroyed my home! My relationship! My engagement with the love
NEXT MORNING Chloe winced as rays of morning sun tickled her eyes. When she opened them, the first thing she saw was Sebastian sleeping in front of her. At first a soft smile came up on his face as looked at his sleeping face. How breathtakingly handsome he was looking and the feeling that he was only his, gave her immense happiness. Her gaze darts on his face, and a soft smile tugs at her lips. She stared at his peaceful expression while he was sleeping. He was so beautiful and breathtakingly handsome that she felt the weight on her chest to even breathe. But the moment the sleep bid bye to her and she came into her full senses, her heart dropped. She held her breath still and looked at him with widened eyes. She found herself wrapped around his strong, possessive and determined arms, the blanket was covering the lower parts of their body. "What the actual
