The stage was a mess where all the board members and respective guests were making a fuse. All of them were asking only one question and giving one statement.
"Where is the new CEO?"
"She must have ran away seeing all the responsibilities."
Her parents and Bella were having a hard time maintaining the press and everyone else. They all had the look of distress on their faces. At that moment Chloe knew that it was her crew to make the much awaited entry.
"Excuse me, may I have the microphone, please?" Chloe went up to the announcer and asked him with a sly smile.
"Who are you?" He asked with a frown and raised eyebrow.
"The new CEO." She answered back with a raised eyebrow as well which looked intimidating. His eyes widened hearing him and he immediately gave her the microphone.
"Su.. su.. sure, m
"Chloe?" James called her from behind when she was busy talking with her friend's group. She excused herself from them and walked toward her dad with a big smile. "Yes, dad?" She asked with a beautiful smile. "I am very proud of you, Chloe. I never regretted not having a son. But today the way you handled everything and gained everyone's trust to set a new milestone for the company, made me assured that I never needed a son anyway. I am very proud of you." He said with teary eyes. These tears weren't of sadness but happiness. "Aw, dad! Please don't be like this. I promise to not let you down ever." She said in a promising tone and he nodded at her. "I know you will never let me down. But this isn't enough, Chloe. We need to go to the end of the internal company issue." He said with a frown. "You don't worry about that, dad. Within two or three days, I
TWO DAYS LATER"May I come in?" A knock on the door pulled Chloe out of the file she was working on. She immediately looked up hearing the familiar voice and smiled seeing who was at the door."Alex!" She shrieked out loud in happiness and closed the file before getting up from her chair. She quickly walked toward him taking long steps before hugging him tight.He was already standing there with open arms and hugged her back as soon as she came to his arms. He picked her up and gave her a light spin before putting her back on her feet. It was their way of hugging. She laughed out loud in happiness before pulling back from the hug. She looked up at him with a big smile."Why were you asking for permission, idiot?" She asked with a chuckle."Of course I need to ask for permission. After all, you are a big shot now. The CEO of the Jones Enterprise, Chloe Jones. You
ON THE CHARITY DAY"Are you nervous, Chloe?" Samantha asked with a smirk while coming up to her. They were standing in the same line. But Samantha was in the last because according to her 'The desert should be served last.'It was the charity day where she came according to the promise which she made to Samantha. She didn't participate in any event but at the end she found out that Samantha had given her name in the bidding program without her consent and it made her so furious.This auction is about beautiful women who go to the stage and men will put a price on them and 'buy' them for a two hours date and obey everything your date says. And just for everyone to know all participants are young and beautiful and there are old pervert men out there to bid on them. There's so many people who participated in the auction. There's even models and beautiful girls on the line. All the money from bidding will go to c
"Good luck, loser." Saying that Samantha walked past her to the stage with an arrogant look on her face. She tried not to ruin her mood at her and took some deep breaths before putting on a smile on her face.She went up to the stage and just smiled sweetly as she stood beside Samantha. Samantha was standing in the middle. She looked at the people and caught Bella and the kathrine sitting with the boys.She moved her eyes a little and suddenly her eyes met a pair of shocked filled grey eyes.Chloe saw Sebastian's eyes fixed on her and she felt some butterflies dancing in her stomach. He had a shocked expression plastered on his face when he saw her up on the stage with the card twenty two plastered on the front. Chloe just looked away from him, not wanting to see his face a little bit, even though she misses him a lot.She was suddenly feeling nervous and sick in the stomach. She didn't want to
"Congratulations to Miss Chloe Jones for creating history by getting the highest bid ever." The announcer said and everyone clapped for her. But Chloe's eyes were fixed on Sebastian who was glaring at her. She completely ignored the fire burns she was feeling from her right. "You may go down to sit beside Mr. Domanco." The announcer stated.Chloe looked at Sebastian with a frown before smiling at the announcer awkwardly. She gave one last look at Samantha and if only look could kill. She threw Samantha a smirk before walking down from the stage. She was attacked by the girls as soon as she got down."Sebastian was stressing so bad. It was a sight to enjoy." Katherine said and let out a sequel."Yeah! He kept glaring at the people who made a bet on you. We almost bursted laughing seeing him raging like bull." Bella said and laughed."I was hoping someone handsome would buy me, not him!" Chloe hi
What the hell, Sebastian?!" Chloe exclaimed in shock and disbelief as she saw Samantha getting dragged away by the man and he wasn't even doing anything for that matter. He was literally giving Samantha off by himself.What the hell is wrong with him?!"What's wrong, Chloe?" Sebastian asked in a disinterested and carefree tone as if he didn't just let his own girlfriend go away with a pervert. Who knows what he could do to her!"You are asking me that!? What's wrong with you?! He is taking your girlfriend, no, fiancée away! And you aren't doing anything for that! What's this behaviour?" She snapped at him, truly pissed off by his this kind of attitude.No matter how much she despises Samantha, no woman deserves this kind of treatment from their partners."Well, what do you want me to do?" He asked in a bored tone while acting too disinterested. She
"Bye Chloe! Use protection." Katherine teased and Sebastian and Chloe looked at each other with widened eyes. Chloe's cheeks got reddened in a split of seconds, making Sebastian chuckle at her cuteness. "Shut up, Katherine!" Chloe snapped at Katherine while glaring at her. Everyone laughed out loud seeing that. "No, seriously, bro! Use protection, I am not ready to be an uncle yet." Daniel joked and earned a glare from Sebastian instantly. "Daniel!" Sebastian hissed at him and they all laughed once again. Sebastian dragged her out from the ballroom after that. They both walked out of the ballroom, hand in hand. There were people around the venue as a party was going outside as well. He suddenly took off his blazer and put it on her, making her look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Such a gentleman you are." She said in a sarcastic tone and looked at him with an irri
"I have a deal for you then." Sebastian said in a tone which made her heart drop. The tone he used just now was the same tone he used to use on her on their initial days of meeting. The cold, distanced, manipulative and filled with cunningness. She didn't like the sound of it at all. So, what she should have done in this kind of situation was, slapping him and walking away but instead, like the brat she was. She stayed there with a frown on her face, wanting to see what he got to say now. "What kind of deal?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, ready to slap senses into this thick skull if necessary. "Let's talk about your benefits from the deal first." He said with a smirk before catching a hold of her right upper arms and pulling her toward the way where the table was placed. He pulled a chair for her and made her sit there before taking a seat in front of her himself. "What benefi
"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
