"Why don't I know about the meeting?" Chloe asked as she walked inside the restaurant beside Sebastian.
"It was planned suddenly. They are our old clients. Hence they called me personally and arranged this meeting." Sebastian answered and walked ahead. Cloth and behind him to catch up with him when her long opened hair came to her face, hulting her on the steps. She let out a half and put it in a messy bun.
"Ugh, that's the reason I don't keep my hair open. I will just go to the washroom and put it in a ponytail." Saying this she was going to walk toward the other direction when she felt a tag on her hand and she stopped. She turned around and looked at him with a frown of confusion.
"Don't." He simply said and pulled her closer.
"Huh?" She looked confused when he raised his other hand up and freed her hair from the bun without uttering a single word. Her eyes widened at seeing his action
""Mr... Mr... Domanco? What are you doing?" She asked with her eyes still closed. But she suddenly realised something and she frowned with her eyes still closed. The touch didn't feel familiar. The hands on her waist weren't the same hand which she started loving having on her waist. She was getting those warm and unexplainable feelings from this touch instead she felt uneasy and uncomfortable. She sprung out of the hold as if it burned her skin and looked at the person who dared to touch her. Her brows furrowed when she saw the person in front of her. "What are you doing here? In the ladies bathroom? And how dare you touch me?!" She snapped at the person in front of her in fury and put a good amount of distance between them. "How dare I touch you? Why are you reacting like this? You were so calm and were enjoying it so much when he was touching you back there? So, wha
Sebastian took a few deep breaths to calm himself down from the previous event. He could still feel his blood boiling. He turned around to look at her and she was still in her previous state. Seeing her in that state seemed to snap inside him and he walked toward her at full speed. He bent down a little and caught a hold of her arms before pulling her up, making her stand on her feet.She looked up at him with blank eyes and he couldn’t take her silence anymore and gave her a shake.“Are you stupid or wh-...” he couldn’t complete his sentence when he was cut off by a sudden force of hug. He was shocked as the voice died in his throat. He looked down at her in shock. Soon the shock passed away when her body started to shake as she started to cry. All that anger ran away as he saw her in that state and he felt pity for her. At that moment he felt like all the bad things happening in her life were from the day when she b
"May I come in?" Chloe asked as she stood outside the room waiting to get the permission. William Domanco looked up from the book he was reading and gave her a polite smile. "Chloe! I was waiting for you. Please come in." He gave her the permission warm heartedly and she returned the smile back as she got inside the room. "I apologise if I made you wait for too long, Mr Domanco. Blame it all on your son. He gave me tons of files just before my lunch break. I had to finish it all before coming out of the office." She said with a small roll of her eyes which was directed to Sebastian. "I know how he can be sometimes. He and his obsession for work will never go, I guess." He said as he let out a sigh. Chloe couldn’t agree more. Now she thinks that she has even turned into a workaholic like him under his influence. "May I know why you called me here today? Actua
"Hello, dad?" Chloe picked up the call which rang as soon as she came out of the room."Chloe, it's me." Came a feminine voice which was mixed with tension and panic. She immediately recognised the voice and she frowned in confusion and worry, hearing the tension."Mom? Why are you calling from dad's phone? And are you okay? Why do you sound so worried?" Chloe asked hurriedly as her heart started to beat loudly in anticipation. She didn't have a good feeling about it."Nothing is okay, Chloe. Please come here. Fast. I need you. Your father needs you." Chloe's mother almost cried while requesting her to come."Okay, mom. Calm down. I am coming home in twenty minutes. Calm down." She said with a frown as she pressed on the elevator button which was going up till now, started going down."No, no! Not to the house." Her mom said and broke down almost.&nb
"I heard something is going on with the company, dad? What's wrong?" Chloe asked with a small frown.It's been half an hour already since she entered the room. She apologized to him and they bonded a lot again in this short span of time. She shared her expression as a secretary. Of course hiding the 'extra' information."Yes, Chloe, something is majorly wrong." Her dad said with a small frown of tension."What is it, dad? Anything I can help with?" Chloe asked worriedly.She knows how hard her father worked to build that company and reach it in that spot. She wouldn't like to see that getting destroyed. She will do everything to get the company back on track."It's only who can do anything, Chloe." Her father said and looked at him with expectation."What is it, dad?" She asked with a frown."Come back
"Hey, Kat! How have you been doing?" Chloe asked cheerfully as soon as she received the call from katrina. "I am not good, Chloe. Everything is ruined." Katrina’s crying voice came from the other side of the room, halting her on her steps toward Sebastian's office room. She frowned in worry. "Katrina, are you crying?" She asked with a frown. "Don’t cry, babe and tell me what happened. I swear if it’s that bratty Domanco, I will bust his nose open." Chloe said with gritted teeth. "Everything is over, chloe. Everything is over." Katrina cried, making her heart cry too for the poor soul. She somehow felt bad and guilty that she couldn't call or meet with her in the last few days. "What’s over, Katrina. Please tell me." Chloe said in a sad tone. "Everything between me and him is over and he doesn't even care." Katrina said and Chloe understood that it was
"Why isn't she here yet?" Bella asked while looking at the door of the cafe every now and then."She mustn't have gotten permission to leave from Sebastian. You don't know but Sebastian is a hard rock. No matter how much water you pour on him, he won't crack." Katherine said with a small sigh."But it's been more than one hour. She would have at least left a message. What if something happened on her way here?" Bella asked in a worried tone."Don't say such negative things, Bella. Lives are already fucked up enough. I don't want anything to happen to her." Katherine said in a panicked tone."Should we go to her office and check?" Bella asked in a worried tone. She wasn't having a good feeling about the lateness of Chloe."No, wait. Let me call Sebastian and check on her." Katherine said and Bella agreed immediately."Yeah,
"I have been seeing a guy for the past two weeks." Bella said and closed her eyes. As if that's going to hide her from everyone’s eyes. "What?!" Chloe exclaimed loudly in shock, making her clench her eyes more tightly if possible. "You promised you won’t freak out." Bella said with a pout, making Chloe glare at her. "I didn't promise and why don’t I know about it?" Chloe asked in an angry tone while looking at her with narrowed eyes. "Well i wanted to tell you but i wasn’t sure of it myself. Also it’s very complicated. I was confused and unsure. Heck I am still unsure." Bella said and let out a sigh. "Unsure of what and who’s the guy?" Chloe asked with a small frown. She wondered how her mature friend ended up in a situation where usually she finds herself. Was it her affect? "It’s… Mason North." She said in a slow tone and
"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
