Chloe nodded, but her thoughts were still tangled. She couldn't shake the feeling that Melissa was only getting started. "What if this is just the beginning? She's not going to give up, Leo. Also we dont know what her plans are. This woman is crazy"Leo's jaw clenched, his protective instincts flaring. "Let her try. She can’t break us. And I'll make sure she’s held accountable for everything she’s done."The determination in his voice sent a wave of relief through Chloe. She believed in Leo, but Melissa was powerful—and dangerously obsessed. As they discussed their next steps, a knock came at the door."Leo, there's something you need to see," said Raphael, one of Leo's trusted aides. He entered the room, tablet in hand, and showed them the latest headlines. The media was spinning a full narrative about Leo and Melissa's supposed relationship, speculating on wedding plans based on the ring Leo had purchased.Leo's eyes darkened as he scanned the article. "This is ridiculous. I bought
“Ms. Brown, can you comment on Leo Williams and Chloe's engagement? They’ve just confirmed their relationship and denied any involvement with you.”Melissa froze, the question hanging in the air. Her heart pounded, and for the first time, her carefully laid plans seemed to crumble.She tried to regain her composure, but the questions kept coming. "What do you have to say about their announcement? Did you know about their relationship?"Flustered, Melissa stammered. "I—I'm sure there's been some misunderstanding."But the room was already buzzing with news of Leo and Chloe’s press conference. The narrative had shifted, and Melissa could feel her grip slipping. The sympathy she had hoped to gain was evaporating in real-time. Why was she doing allthat for? Ifatuation? Obsession but why does it feel like he should've belonged to her all along? Her feelings were spiraling and confusion was settling in on her.---Later that evening, Leo and Chloe sat together in his apartment, watching the
The next morning, Leo and Chloe woke up to a whirlwind of media coverage. The headlines had shifted, now focused on Leo’s public declaration of his love for Chloe. The narrative was finally in their hands, and though there was still fallout to manage, it felt like a victory.As they sipped coffee together in the quiet of Leo’s apartment, Chloe glanced at her phone. “It’s strange,” she mused. “It feels like we’ve crossed this huge hurdle, but I can’t shake the feeling that Melissa isn’t done yet.”Leo’s expression hardened slightly. “She won’t give up that easily. But now that we’ve taken control of the story, her options are limited. She can’t manipulate the media like she did before.” Up untill this moment Leo has been thinking about thislady. She seem to be too good but she has a heart of a snake. SShe could easily manupulate the crowd against somebody to a serious point. She was dangerous to his business and relationship.Chloe nodded, but she couldn’t ignore the gnawing sense of u
Chloe’s heart sank. “Do you think he’s going to pull out of the deal?”Leo looked at her, his expression unreadable. “We’re about to find out.”---The next day, Leo and Chloe found themselves in a high-rise office downtown, waiting for Mr. Brown. The meeting felt more like a showdown, the air thick with anticipation. Chloe could sense the tension radiating from Leo, though he remained outwardly calm.Mr. Brown entered the room, his presence commanding. He was a tall, imposing figure with an air of authority that demanded attention. He took a seat across from Leo and Chloe, his sharp eyes assessing them.“Leo, Chloe,” he greeted them curtly, his tone neutral.Leo leaned forward, meeting Mr. Brown’s gaze with unwavering confidence. “Thank you for agreeing to meet with us.”Mr. Brown’s expression was unreadable as he folded his hands on the table. “Let’s get straight to the point. I don’t appreciate the public spectacle you’ve made, especially considering my daughter’s involvement. I’m
As the court date approached, Leo and Chloe prepared for the inevitable showdown. Despite their confidence, there was still a tension in the air, knowing how unpredictable legal battles could be. But with the new evidence, they knew they had a solid case.On the day of the trial, the courtroom was packed with reporters and onlookers. Melissa arrived with her legal team, her expression steely as she took her seat. Leo and Chloe entered together, their heads held high, ready to face whatever came next.The trial was intense, with both sides presenting their arguments and cross-examining witnesses. Melissa’s team tried to paint her as a victim, but as Leo’s lawyers presented the evidence of her manipulation, the tide began to turn.The anonymous messages were a key turning point. The jury was visibly swayed as they read Melissa’s own words, revealing her true intentions. Her attempts to destroy Leo and Chloe’s relationship became impossible to deny.As the trial neared its conclusion, th
Ryan tried to pull her back into his embrace but she pushed him away. The nager inside ofher almost exploding. She had not gotten over the fact that Grace has appeared before her husband when she met her worst nightmare. It brought her back to reality. She was in a serious predicament that could cost her marriage and relationship with the rest of the family" What do you want" She said in a cold voice. " Chloe, I know I messed up badly, but did you really have to go for my brother. This is the worst punishment that you could give me." He walked closer to her but she moved further away from him. She didnt want any misunderstanding. This is a huge mansion with different people playing their games. If someone saw them together or heard them then it could be a different problem." Stay away from me. I am married to your brother now. Whatever happened to us in the past remain in the past. You said it clearly you didnt love me and didnt want me. Now I have found someone who accepts me wi
The weight of the threat sunk in. This wasn't just about her and Ryan anymore. Her marriage, her reputation, everything she had built with her husband, could crumble in an instant. Chloe’s chest tightened, and she felt the cold grip of fear close around her heart. She turned to face her sleeping husband. She didnt know what time he came but she felt his presence in the middle of the night. She was trembling and her mind was not settled as she walked into the bathroom. She opened the shower and let the water flow over her for so long that her skin began to change. Leo opened his eyes as soon as his wife went to the bathroom. He was concious when she woke up but he didnt feel like waking up. He was upset. What he saw yesterday was upsetting though he could clearly see his wife did not initiate or welcome the gesture from the other party. Even so, it was humiliating. His brother being his wife Ex was a huge problem that he had to find a way to solve. Or else he will find himself being
Chloe took her phone from bedside table and showed her husband the messages she received. Lookingat the threatening message, his changed. His frosty look on her phone almost scared her. *“Thought you’d like to see this. What would your husband think?”* *“Meet me tonight. Alone. Or this picture won’t stay hidden.”* Leo’s mind swirled with suspicion as he tried to piece it all together. The threatening messages unsettled him deeply, and the realization that Chloe was being targeted shook him. He replayed the names in his head: Zoe, Grace, Ryan… could any of them be capable of something like this? Zoe could be a little unpredictable, her jealousy palpable when it came to Chloe’s presence. Grace had her moments of passive aggression, but nothing that ever suggested this level of malice. Ryan? He had been close to them both for years—he wouldn't cross this line, would he? Leo’s gaze remained on the phone. The words of the message repeated in his head: *“What would your husband think?”

Since it was her apartment, she didnt want to be the one sleepingon the couch. She joined him on the bed and slept. Leo woke up early in the mronign and felt a presence of someone in his arms. He was alramed. He remembered his predicament during the night and afraid He couldve fallen into the trapp. but the woman on his arms was his love. He smiled but thenlooked at the cloths on him and smiled even more. He held her tight that it woke the sleeping woman.Chloe slowly opened her eyes, feeling the warmth of Leo's embrace. At first, she was startled, but when she saw his face, her anxiety faded. Leo was awake, and for the first time in hours, he seemed fully present. His eyes held a softness that made her heart skip a beat."Good morning," Leo said, his voice rough from the long night but laced with affection.Chloe smiled back, though her thoughts were still swirling. "Good morning. How are you feeling?"Leo chuckled softly. "Like I've been hit by a truck. But much better, thanks to y
