Chloe's POVI needed a distraction but Jayden was nowhere to be found, and I realized just how much my world revolves around him. I didn't mind, but right now, he wasn't with me.“This is so frustrating,I'm losing my mind!” I screamed and was about to fling my phone again when I got a notification on my phone. It was a memory reminder on Facepen social media platform. A picture Cindy and I took on our first day in 11th grade. “That's right, Cindy,” I snapped my fingers as I dialed her number and she picked on the second dial. “Yes, Cindy,” Rhoda was all jumpy beside me. “I haven't heard from you since you got married and thought you must be really enjoying the honeymoon phase,” Cindy said in s cheerful tone as soon as she picked up. “As if you're one to talk. You literally disappeared after and didn't come to school and your number was unreachable. Keep disappearing like that and you might just lose your bestie spot in my life,” I said with a frown as I stuffed a whole strawbe
Jayden's POV“Why did you guys have to choose a loud place like this to catch up?” I asked as I sat in between my friends and took a glass containing alcohol. “A sudden call after work to catch up and hang out with an address attached to it turned out to be a nightclub. Where is your decency?” I turned to Timothy who had sent the text.“Come on man, we booked the VIP room to catch up. There's no way you had a complete change after getting married, so let's drink up and have some fun. I asked for girls to be sent over, I frowned as Benjamin squeezed my shoulder and encouraged em to relax. “Right, let's leave the silent meeting till when we die and get buried in our graves, life should be very loud and full of events and girls, woohoo” Timothy whooped as he shugged down his own drink. “Did you have to bring your idiocy into the room? I said we were meeting strictly for fun and catching up,” Benjamin, my other friend and also Timothy's half-brother, scolded as he smacked his head. “H
“That's enough! Let's just drink guys and shake off this damp mood. They ladies are coming too,” Timothy jumped to his feet as the door opened and he whistled with his eyes fixed on the scantily claded ladies coming our way. The moment my eyes landed on them and scanned through their faces and figures in that one glance, I completely lost interest. “Nah, I'm done,” I got off the couch instead. “Handsome, where do you think you are going?” Tej lady who was closest to me grabbed my arm and squeezed it in between her cleavage and I wanted to throw up at that moment, so I pushed her aside, not caring where she landed. “Come on man, the fun is about to start. You used to love this, why so aggressive?” he hugged my hand to hold me back and I shook him off. What was everyone's obsession with my hand?“Actually, I never really liked doing stuff like this,” I confessed. “What do you mean? You literally were the man of the night everytime we went out. What happened to yo, where is the r
I wondered what she was doing out alone, looking sexy in a place like this as I walked towards her. She looked extremely sexy and she made my blood boil down there. I wanted to wrap myself around her and pluck out the eyes of everyone else here. She was mine and none of the had the right to look else… “Don't come close.”“What?” I froze. “Chloe?” I called again to be sure, but she stepped back. “He's just using this to keep you by his side. He must really care about you, so you should make sure that you do your best to make him fall for you,” Timothy said, and I knew that if I was still beside him, I would have sent a punch across his face to keep his mouth in check, so I hurried my footsteps towards Chloe. Something was terribly not right. Jessica had taken things too far whether she realized it or not. If she did all of that without knowing that she was stirring trouble, then it meant that she was stupid and I didn't need a naive person who couldn't read the room at my servic
Chloe's POVWhat have I done? He was crying like a baby and the hurt in his voice was evident. The fear of losing me, the desperation as eh held unto my waist as if scared that I would push him off and run off. Again, what have I done? I didn't mean for it to go this far. I didn't mean to break my heart by shattering his, because the very sight of him crying and begging lik that just broke me. I should have just stayed home and waited for him, I wouldn't have seen what I saw or heard what I heard and we would have been happy. I looked around for the sight of Cindy for of course, she was nowhere to be found. After the call with her on the phone, Rhoda and I had gone through my closet and I discovered that I had more clothes than I ever knew, all designer down to my underwears. And we ended up choosing a decent jumpsuit because I was quite opposed to exposing my skin and Rhoda who didn't know much about fashion was just glad that I would be going out to distress, but when Cindy c
Chloe's POV “Aaaand we're done here, open your eyes my love,” she said and I did so and gave my face a proper look in the mirror. “Cindy! What the hell did you do to my eyes?!” I asked her as she placed her jaw on my shoulder. “This here is the smokey eye makeup,” she said as she stole a kiss on my cheek. “Jayden will kill you if he saw you do that,” I warned and she shrugged. “But I loved you first.” “Stop your joke or I will wash this off,” I said and she went mute. “Wait a second,” I moved closer to the mirror, “asides from the smoke eye makeup, nothing changed, even though you kept dabbing my face and lips,” I said and turned to her. “How is my face still the same thing?” “That's because I gave you the no-makeup makeup look,” she explained and I'd never been more confused in my life. “The hell do you mean by that?”
Chloe's POVBut I knew from experience that Cindy did everything in her power to initiate body contact and whenever she did, she always took advantage of it.“Get off me you leech,” I said as I peeled her off my body, reminding her once again that her life was in danger because of my possessive husband.“One more thing, if you don't mind,” My uncle in-law who had followed us said.“Sure, any more things are fine even if it's a million, my best friend and I will make sure to get it done for you,” she said as she pulled me close with her hand draped on my shoulder.“No, not me and you. Don't get me into any troubles, Cindy. I'm begging,” I said as I pried her hand off me to no avail.“It's nothing much really, I just want to have an envoy of just one car follow you to make sure you're safe. Since Jayden is not around, my little niece in-law is in my care,” he said and I didn't know how to react knowing that he meant it.“Thank you,” I said as we got in.“That's really fine. You're my fa
Chloe's POV“Hey, don't beat yourself too much about it. I heard that all the business of the Fitzgeralds in the country closed down and they traveled to Iceland to start all over. Shawn stopped coming to school, right?” She asked and I nodded.“How and where in the world do you get your updates from?” I asked as she ordered another drink.“Forget that, I just pity him a little. You know, I heard that he attends a boarding single sex school that's similar to a prison. Not only do they refuse visits from parents, but they only go home once a year. Poor Shawn whose only source of money is power must be suffering a lot, no doubt he would be forced to doubt his sexual orientation by the time he's out,” she said and I frowned.“I don't quite follow.”“Well, look over there,” she said as she pointed to a corner where a couple were openly going at it without any shame, “Shawn will be forced to go through that in a place where there are no females. He's quite good-looking, you know,” she said
