Beep... Beep... Beep... Alice groaned as her phone started ringing in the middle of the night. Huffing, she picked up the call. "What happened!?" She snapped at the caller, not knowing who it was. "Shut up! Stop sleeping and wake up you dumb head! I have a crazy news!" Margott's excited tone broke her sleep. "Mom? Why are you calling this late?" She was now sitting on her bed, half awake, half asleep. "You are good for nothing!" Margott scolded her daughter. "You can't even do one thing and there, that bustard child of Jessica has hit the jackpot!" "What do you mean?" Alice frowned. "That woman used to be the personal maid of the maiden Anastasia. A few months ago, when Harper Evans faced a huge loss in business, he accepted the offer to send his daughter to the Rossi palace to marry Alexander Rossi." Alice was more confused. "How does it connect Chloe to all this?" "This is where Harper Evans played the game. Very few people know the truth about Alexander Rossi. Otherwise, p
Chloe sat in silence. She should have known this woman's tricks better. At least, she shouldn't have any expectation of better things with Alice around. "You want me to make them hate and then leave. Is that what you want?" Chloe asked, her tone turned colder. Leaning on the couch, she gave her a victorious smirk. "Yeah, Very simple. I want you to get lost from this Palace. How will you do it, I don't know. As I said, one week, you have only seven days to vacant this place, Chloe Isabelle." "Fine then..." Chloe started calmly. "I will get out of here in a week. But, you have to keep my secrets in... Please, Alice." "Oh baby, I will think about that. It entirely depends on my mood." Realising, it wouldn't work to argue with her, Chloe stood up and left. The entire time she kept herself strong till she stepped inside Melissa's door. Both Melissa and Jessica were sleeping. Chloe didn't get the time to control herself and she broke down on the floor. Her cry woke up both ladies in
Alexander woke up with little Leo in his arms. Holding him, he tried to find Chloe but there was no trace of her on the bed. Frowning, he opened his eyes only to find the bed and the room empty. Setting Leo on the place, he left the bed. He opened the huge double door and bumped into Chloe. She was startled, stumbled on her feet but caught by her husband. "What happened? Where are you rushing?" Alex frowned, still holding her tightly. Chloe blinked. She did not expect this encounter. They still had enough time to sleep. She was hurrying to be in bed so that none of them would realise she wasn't in bed. However, seems she has been caught by Alex. Why it's always her to face bad luck!? Now, she needs to make lie after lie just to cover one truth! Her life revolved around lies Now-a-days. Her mother was right. Should she just confess? "Penny for your thoughts, dark eyes?" His words brought her out of her thoughts and she shook her head. "It's nothing, I was... strolling only." She
Chloe's gaze travelled to the three people one by one. Confused and stunned at their sudden proposal. "It's you, who sent me into this." Finally, she got her voice to speak. "Why now?" This is still unbelievable for her that Evans now wants her to leave the Rossi palace. An hour ago, Harper Evans escorted her to the Evans Manor from her office, saying it was an emergency. The people in the palace thought something might happen to her father. However, a few people know there might be some other reason. And they were right. Alexander did not protest and let her take leave. He wants to see the end of this game and how they do it. Right now, Evans wanted her to quit the game they started through her. "That's because we want this to happen, Chloe." Maiden Anastasia spoke. Suddenly, she started behaving like a mature adult. Calm and cold. It was so unlike her. Blinking, Chloe stared at them in disbelief. It's hard to accept for her that God has screwed her in every possible way. It f
Chloe heard the gasping sounds around. However, her only concentration was Alexander and he was still blank, staring at her. Somehow, encouraging her to speak. And Chloe started again, "That lady there..." She pointed at her mother a little steps away from her. "She is Jessica Clowne. She is not Melissa's mother but mine. Melissa wasn't ever my maid but my best friend in the Evans Manor. And..." Her eyes then landed on the last person she reluctantly wanted to introduce. It was Alice and she was stunned, staring at her in disbelief. Where did this stupid and worthless woman get all the courage to tell the truth? "This woman there is my cousin sister. Alice's Clowne. She somehow came out as Leonor's birth mother which was a shock for me too." She sighed and then turned her gaze to Alexander again. "I can come up with many excuses now that they forced me to do it and all, which they did. They did threaten me with my hospitalized mother to take Maiden Anastasia's place because she di
Damien holds Margott by the throat again and throws her aside. "It's all because of you and your greedy daughter! You have ruined my whole plan! Don't you get what you want three years ago, huh? Now you are doing this again!" Pinching her cheeks he pulled her close to his face. "What do you think, the truth you are hiding won't come out ever? This is just the beginning and soon, he will know." He laughed like a maniac, scaring Margott like hell "Actually, he doesn't even have to know! He already kicked your daughter out of the palace!" Saying, he kicked her once and strode out like a sudden storm that just come, destroyed and gone. Margott sat on the floor to catch her breath. Damien's words kept ringing in her ear. 'He has kicked out your daughter.' She immediately dialled Alice's number, yet no one picked up. Margott kept dialling her number. However, it's all in vain... ******** Chloe was sitting on the sofa in the hall, still doubtful of the sudden turn in the situation. S
Chloe caressed the sleeping little fellow's back lovingly and waited for her husband to come. He has become a very busy man these days. Yet, she can't complain. The more huge the business, the more pressure of work arrives. And Chloe understood that. She is just a little impatient to ask him a few things. Finally, an hour later, Alexander entered the room and found her pacing around. He walked toward her and held her in his arms, sniffing her refreshing scent. "You're back..." Chloe muttered, inhaling his masculine scent and he hummed only. "Hmm... I missed you." He said and breaking hug, Chloe watched him in amusement. "Weren't we together just a few hours ago? Already missed me?" She finds this funny and childish for a grown man like him. He nodded seriously. "I do! I was missing you like crazy." He hugged her again and sighed in contentment. Both stood there for some time and finally, Chloe broke the silence. "Umm... Can I ask you something?" She asked. "Hmm." Alexander hum
Chloe entered the Palace with a thudding heart. She arrived alone here, giving some excuses at home and thankfully, no one doubted her. The way Anthony sounded on the phone was not pleasant at all. His tone hinted a trouble and she was here to face it alone. First, she would learn what happened and then tell her husband. Did he get to know the truth already? Maybe, he did. But how? Alexander ordered everyone to seal every mouth in the castle, didn't he? Then how? Did anyone choose to betray him? Or, it was an outsider? Then again, how would an outsider know the inside news? Thinking this and that, Chloe finally stepped inside the main entrance of the palace and was gritted by assistant Carson. As usual, there was no expression on Carson's face. He slightly bowed at her and led the way. He brought her to the third floor, in Anthony's office. Unlike their other meetings, this one seems more formal and strange. When she was in, Anthony was sitting behind his desk, having his expen
