CHLOE. The next day, I walked over to the kitchen because I needed to see the maid and tell her about my new decision and what I had decided to do now. There was only one plan that I had in mind. That was to get my family back on track, I wanted nothing more than that. To be honest, I didn't have feelings for Damon. All I knew was that he was a nice man and he would use me for what I was about to do. I knew that I could also use his influence to get Ethan off my back. Breaking off a contract with Ethan was never going to be easy but withFamon, I was sure that it would be. I went to the kitchen and called the maid countless times but she didn't answer me. She was right there in the kitchen standing next to the island and when I called her, she didn't respond to me. It seemed to me that she was lost in thought so I went over and tapped her by the waist. After I tapped her on the waist, she winced and then glared at me. She looked like she was in pain. “What happened to you?” I ask
ETHAN. Getting to the hospital, I rushed toward the ward to go and see Chloe's mom. When I got there, I saw a girl, Inna's maid uniform, in the room talking to the mother. She was a maid, how come she was with Chloe's mother? I knew that all of the maids had disappeared after they lost their homes and riches. Who was this girl? I wondered as I stared at her speak to the mother of Chloe. I knew that she didn't have family aside from her husband and her daughter, Chloe. She grew up in a poor and abusive home hence her dissociation. She worked her ass off day and night and this was the reason she became mean to poor people. To her, they were lazy, and this was why they remained poor. She believed that everyone should work hard for their money. This was how she trained Chloe with such a mentality. This was the reason Choe did not have any regard for the poor. She had always thought that it was their fault that they were poor. She believed that if they had worked harder they would be ri
CHLOE. I thought to myself that I was making the right decision even though it felt like I wasn't. I really needed Damon’s influence to be able to get back the life that I used to have. I did not love him, nor did I think that I would want to marry him, but this needed to be done. I needed to be done with it I really wanted to have my previous life back. Plus, it was better than being stuck with Ethan who didn't care about me at all. This was right. It wasn't that hard and Damon was also a sweet soul. He was better than the bastard Grayson that I wanted to marry. He was better. This was the way I talked myself through all of the bad feelings that I had. Many thoughts crossed my mind, the good and the bad. Still, I was excited because this was going to be the beginning of a new life for me. I would be back to controlling and being respected. Then I could finally have the time to find those who had conspired to ruin my father. The marriage wasn't even going to be long, it was goi
CHLOE. Damon didn't see Ethan, he didn't hear him because he went ahead and asked me; “HowMuch is your debt with Ethan?” He didn't seem to be seeing what I was seeing. It seemed that he was so blinded by excitement that he didn't notice what was happening. Ethan was looking at us with so much anger. I could feel his anger even as I was standing there. Then he walked over. “What happened, why are you not saying anything?” Damon asked me. At the same time, Ethan was heading toward us. Then he grabbed Damon’s shirt and pulled him back before he slammed him into the car. “It is three hundred thousand dollars. She is owning me that much, can you pay for it?!” Then he punched his face. I heard the sound of bone crush before blood gathered in Damon's mouth. I gasped, looking at them; I was confused myself. I called the name of Damon because his eyes went shut like he was going to faint. Ethan was going to punch him again and I couldn't just hold on and not do anything. Hence I jumpe
CHLOE.I had slapped Ethan and he didn't do anything to me. I was shocked beyond words. How come he didn't do anything to me? He walked out as though nothing happened. Why did I even slap him? I shouldn't have slapped him. I should have allowed him to leave. Now I was scared that he was going to punish me. It was what Ethan could do. He probably did not say anything because he wanted to punish me greatly. However, I could not take the words that he was saying to me. The words hurt me so much, and I couldn't keep the anger within me. This was the reason I fled up and slapped him. I didn't know why I thought that I was with an ordinary person that I could slap. Being In Damon’s house reminded me of the power that I used to have, this must have made me feel like I was Chloe Hathway again. Well, now, I would have to wait for the punishment that Ethan was going to inflict on me. Thinking about it now, The maid must have known about Damon and how he was deceiving me. How didn't even hav
KATHERINE. Chloe came back to the house. According to the maid, Ethan found her and brought her back. The headache I got when I was told about it made me come down to get water. Unfortunately, I saw her in the kitchen with grandma, helping her out. I got more disgusted. Why did she have to come back? Why couldn't Damon just run away with her? He could have left the country with her so Ethan would never be able to find her. Then, she tried speaking to me after I walked up to the fridge to grab a bottle of water. I didn't respond to her. It seemed she didn't understand how much I hated her. Hence I ignored her, putting the bottle into my mouth. She looked away from me and looked toward Grandma. They started to talk and giggle. I wondered why Grandma accepted her into our lives. Chloe was trying to make everyone like her, a useless girl. Anyway, I decided that I was going to get her to leave this house. I knew someone who could help me and even though I hated her very much, I had
CHLOE. I hadn't seen Ethan for four days now after that incident happened; he had stayed away from me. I expected him to be angry, and try to punish me after slapping him, surprisingly, he hadn't even asked for me like he normally did. It was a weekend, a boring weekend. I was in my room doing nothing. I had rolled over the bed countless times, staring at the ceiling and counting my fingers. Tired of it, I decided that I was going to go and see him. I was dying of suspense, I needed to know what he felt toward me after I hit him. Maybe he was planning my death, I needed to know. Hence I got out of bed and headed to his work room. This was where he usually stayed instead of his room. His room was usually empty most of the time. Walking along the narrow hallway which was as deep as the house was large, I saw Katherine, heading toward me, emerging from the left corner that was also a hallway. I sighed, wondering why I had to see her this morning. It was funny that as large as the
CHLOE. I was shocked when Katherine yelled in pain. Tears quickly ran down her cheeks and she held her belly. “Ah, my baby. My baby!” She shouted. I didn't do anything, I only pushed her a bit and she started to exaggerate. The maids went to her aid and tried to pick her up. She kept screaming and shouting in pain. Then, I saw Ethan and Grandma approach us. Katherine's scream must have been so loud that it attracted all of them. All I did was watch, my thoughts all over the place. I didn't push her that hard, why did she have to scream and pretend like I pushed her so hard? My heart pounded in my chest seeing her cry in pain. Watching her groan in pain kind of made me believe that I had hurt her a lot. “What happened?” Ethan asked, walking over. Grandma rushed to her side and then the maids lifted her. “It hurt. Chloe pushed me over the bench. She pushed me!” She sobbed, pointing accusing fingers at me. “Did you see what happened?” Ethan asked the maids and they all nodded.
ETHAN.The call with the agent was longer than expected. I kept thinking about what he had said. He made me see reasons why it was better for us to do it that way for effective results. I didn't concur with most of the terms. After some while I dropped the call and told him to go on with whatever he had to do. It didn't sit right with me but it seemed I didn't have much choice at this point. I busied myself with the auditing I was supposed to attend to earlier before Lizzie came in. It hadn't been easy working two businesses as the boss. My company was easier since I was used to the system. Not Grandpa’s company. It had been so hard for me to settle and even find a secretary that wouldn't want to fuck me. I had to settle for a lesbian, Dane. Right now, we are more like brothers and sisters. She also has a girlfriend and she was the acting male in her relationship. It hasn't been easy with her too and she knows I couldn't fire her. She knew all about my secretary's problem hence she
ETHAN. Smoking had quickly become one of my habits. It takes my mind off whatever I was thinking. The smoke penetrated my mind and soul each time. I always give it space though, in order not to ruin my lungs. Inviting girls over to twerk and shake their in my room was another habit I had taken up. Yet, I have never been able to have sex with them. None of them. Anytime I try to do it, have sex with them, it fails. My body fails me. I had never been able to sleep with them. It had been hard to get my mind off Chloe. Every time I tried to lay with them, I saw Chloe in the back of my mind and this instantly dropped whatever pleasure I was feeling. My dick always failed to stand erect again. It had been seven years yet it was still the same story. Chloe had been at the center of my heart all this while. The only woman I ever thought about. The one that made my heart beat all the time. I wished I had embraced her, going against all odds, and pulled her in. However, I chose to chase h
CHLOE. The judges had stunned expression on their faces when they saw me. They started to whisper words to each other and give me stares. I waited for them to stop whispering words to each other and attend to me. There were five chairs but three judges but only four judges were present. Two females and two males. The females smiled at me. “How far along are you?” one of them asked me. “Uhm, twenty-eight weeks,” I answered. She smiled and nodded. “Looks like it. Your belly is already very huge. Do you think you'd be able to cope with the stress of singing and training?” She asked. I nodded instantly, even before she finished speaking. “Yes, I can. There is nothing I can't do right now. Exercising is one of the things essential for my pregnancy journey.” I added. She didn't look like she believed what I had said. Her gaze dropped to the book in front of her. “I am not sure you would be able to. You are pregnant and you need to be well taken care of to avoid miscarriage.” Sh
ETHAN. A girl was naked in my new office, her legs crossed in front. She was already playing with her nipples, tweaking them in a sultry manner. I instantly got disgusted, everything about it was extremely annoying.Her cheap perfume had spread in the air. The smell was so sour, I could almost taste it. “What are you doing here?” I asked, my face the representation of what was going on in my mind. “Sir, I heard this is how you preferred to be welcomed. I am your new secretary.” She grabbed both of her boobs with one hand and pulled them together. I sighed, trying to keep my anger in check. Although it didn't seem like the right thing to do. I should kick her out of my office. My mind was still foggy with all the things that had happened. Now I met a naked girl in my new office? How worse could it get? “Get out!” I headed for the seat behind the desk she sat on. She ricocheted her head, inclining at an angle that showed; ‘Are you serious?’ But then I was very serious. How much
ETHAN. My mind had been all foggy. The thoughts intertwined and I have been thinking of a way out of this. With Grandpa, my new family, and the new found enemies. It had really been hard on me for the last couple of weeks already battling with sending Chloe off. And now, the truth is out. Chloe did nothing wrong. I sighed and then ran my hand in my hair. This seemed to be wrong. Everything looked tiring already and I hadn't even started. “What about the enemies, Grandfather?” I asked, my voice low but firm. “Do you really think it’s wise for me to step in now?”“Yes,” he replied, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “Now that they know you exist, there’s no use hiding. Facing them head-on is the best course of action. I’ve done what I could, but I couldn’t bring them down. It’s your fight now. Fighting for the family.”I nodded, feeling the weight of his words settle heavily on my chest. He gestured for me to follow, leading me to a room deep within the mansion. It was a space tha
CHLOE. “Mom, we’re going to your home country, right?” My son, Eli, looked at me with his curious eyes, a hint of excitement in his voice. He had always been a bright boy, taking notes of things before I even spoke about them. “Yes, we are,” I replied, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. But I could see the concern flicker across his face. Like I said, my son was smart—he always knew when something was off.“Is something wrong, Mom?” he asked, his brows furrowing slightly.I shook my head quickly. “No, everything’s fine.” I didn’t want him to worry. Not now. There were things. People back in my home country that I was trying to avoid. However, now I had to put them on hold because of my father. He looked down at the suitcase in front of him, already packing his clothes. “Should I bring everything I have? Just in case?”“No,” I said softly. “We’re only taking a few things. We’ll be back here.” I tried to sound reassuring, but my heart felt heavy. I was working on some
ETHAN.I had to settle for a lesbian, Dane. Right now, we are more like brothers and sisters. She also has a girlfriend and she was the acting male in her relationship. It hasn't been easy with her too and she knows I couldn't fire her. She knew all about my secretary's problem hence she usually gave me attitude. Too many attitudes. Finally, I found where the error had been coming from. The two billion dollars that was missing in the company fund. I found where it came from and this made me shake my head. The little five thousand dollars. One thousand dollars which could be easily overlooked amounted to two billion dollars. I traced it back to an account which belonged to my uncle’s son. He hid this so well, how smart of him. The next second, I sent for Dane.“What do you need sir? I am on lunch break and I am speaking to the love of my life!” She said, her tone mixed with pride. Oh, Lord! “Dana, you are well aware I am your boss?” “Do you wish to unboss me, sir?” I could feel her
