"What did he mean?" I asked as soon as the teacher got out.
"You have the same surname as Chloe" she said and my eyes rolled immediately.Smith is the most common surname, silly."And I think you guys look alike a bit" she added and I scoffed."Silly" I mumbled bringing out my sketchpad.What? She gasped immediately snatching the sketchpad."You draw too?" she asked flipping through the pages, her mouth wide open in awe."Who else draws?" I asked."Chloe, she has been winning the award for a while" she cleared my doubt."Ohh" I mouthed nodding."But I think you draw better" she smiled dropping the sketchpad before another teacher walked in.So Chloe draws, but she thinks I draw better. And there's a drawing contest? That definitely means I can contest. Wow, maybe schooling wouldn't be bad here.**HENRY"Don't you ever dare meddle in my business" Chloe yelled as soon as she entered my room.I paused gazing at her."Who gave you the permission to enter my room?" I asked irritated."I do what I want" she yelled and I stood up immediately."This is my house not yours" I gritted."And the last time I checked, you aren't the Governor's child" I added glaring at her."I am his favorite" she smiled sitting on the sofa in my room."And I'm sure he prefers me to you" she said proudly."No Chloe" I chuckled sauntering towards her."He only feels love towards you because he misses his daughter" I reminded her and her face went pale."You couldn't take that position" she smiled standing up."I came to warn you not to meddle in my business" she said firmly."You're so proud huh?" I laughed gripping her arm."I do what I want" I breathe out on her face and I saw her shudder.Why won't she? I'm pretty sure she feels something for me."Let go Henry" she mumbled and I let go of her arm."And remember there are a lot of secrets I can use against you Chloe" I smirked reminding her and she looked up instantly."You wouldn't want the Governor to know you bully students right? And you wouldn't want him to know you're an addict to smoking"I smirked as I saw her mouth wide open."How...? You know?" She asked and I smiled patting her cheeks."A lot more about your mischievous acts" I said."Now you should leave my room" I ordered.She swallowed hard turning slowly walking to the door. Guess she's speechless, well of course I know how to put her in her place when I want to. And I'm sure she likes me, the only thing stopping her is our relationship. My phone rang and I scoffed seeing the caller. Amelia.I picked the phone blocking her immediately.***CHLOEHow did he know? I thought walking out of his room. He knows a lot of things about me then but he never attends school, how did he know I bully students? Well, I shouldn't be bothered about that, I'm pretty sure he has no evidence. I make sure to destroy every evidence, I'm Chloe after all. Yes Chloe, the Governor's niece. The most superior young adult. Age? 17 , I'll be 18 soon and I bet it'd be the most celebrated birthday of my life. I'm pretty sure of that. I have a talent of drawing, I draw the best art no one can ever make, I've drawn a lot of arts for the Governor and he never fails to reward me. Well, why wouldn't he? I'm his favorite after all. I know he has a soft spot for me because I am the same age as his late daughter, she was kidnapped I guess, I really can't remember because I was still a kid. We were literally nothing back then. I chuckled remembering some pictures I saw of our childhood , we used to play the weirdest game. Well, I'm kinda happy his daughter isn't alive else she would be having the most affection and attention from him. But now? Everything is directed to me."Ma'am?" a guard called tapping on my shoulders and I scoffed shrugging his hands off."Don't you dare touch me!" I gritted in annoyance and he bowed immediately.Well, he knows better than not to, I can make sure he lose everything he has."I'm sorry, you zoned out for a while" he said bowing."What do we have?" I asked angrily."A phone call" he stretched the phone to me and I scoffed seeing the caller.Brian? What does he wants? He's my ex boyfriend already. I snatched the phone from him before throwing it against the wall."Next time you bring important things to me" I said before walking away.How dare he even bring that call to me? I scoffed as I entered the car and the driver zoomed off while the guards drove behind us. I hate having them in the same car but trust me, I made sure to get a guard as the driver. At least I'm sure he'd protect if anything happens to others.**Walking into the room, I scoffed seeing Samantha doing her usual thing."You never get tired right?" I asked and she smiled sweetly."I love it this way Chloe, I can do any style I want " she said and I scoffed."You should try it too Chloe, they're better than humans" she said.I chuckled shaking my head."I'll never use dildos" I declared firmly."And you better get out of my room" I added falling to the bed."Really?" She smirked and I scoffed remembering my monophobiaI hate being alone, main reason I allow her in my room."Where's Cassy?" I asked with an eye roll."Out as usual" she said and I nodded remembering her usual routine.Her practice, she wants to sing. Well Cassy is the third person and she's a gentle girl, always at loggerheads with Samantha."But.." Samantha stood up taking her towel."Did you see Henry? He's so cute" she gushed happily.I rolled my eyes picking the phone scrolling to Henry's and I picture, he's very cute."Did you just notice?" I asked and she smiled snatching my phone."Have you done anything with him?" She asked and I exhaled turning to her."He's my cousin remember" I reminded her.Well, I'm only trying to have a little self respect if not, I'd have tried things out with him but I'm pretty sure Henry wouldn't agree because he's my cousin.Yes, my cousin... tch, how silly that sounds."Maybe I should try my luck then" Samantha squealed and I scoffed."Thought you don't like humans" I reminded her."Well, not for a beautiful soul like Henry.""Can you just keep quiet?" I asked shutting my eyes."Fine" she stood up and I heard the bathroom door open.CAMILA"I'm trying to learn here" I yelled at Ava who wouldn't stop distracting me telling me about events that happen in the school."Well, you should be happy I am talking to you" she smiled taking my book."Allow me to show you around my princess" she squealed and I scoffed in annoyance."No Ava, allow me to read" I ordered with a firm face but she only laughed.Goodness, I'd have to try the library next time."Ava!!" A girl squealed rushing to us but paused seeing me."Ohh, you have a new friend" she mumbled."No, of course not" Ava laughed hugging her."You're my friend, and she's our new friend, come let's show her around" she said and the girl nodded gazing at me."You're pretty" she complimented and I flashed her a smile.**"So, this is the school library" she said pointing at a beautiful building with different paintings on it."Alright" I nodded gazing at it, it's very beautiful even though it's multicolored.We walked for a little while before she gasped pointing at a dire
CAMILAI walked slowly beside Ava still in thought."Heyy" she patted my shoulders and I jerked out of thought."Aren't you excited?" She asked dramatically."Henry is going to be playing, the last time I saw him play was 2 years ago" she squealed jumping up and I chuckled.How often does Henry attends school? Two years ago since she saw him play? Wow!"Are you okay?" She asked holding my arm and I nodded."Of course" I mumbled as Anna ran to us."Ava!!" she exhaled breathing heavily and I chuckled at how dramatic these two can be."Let's hurry" she mumbled as we rushed to the basketball court."Yayy" the cheering sound welcomed me immediately and glancing around, I saw him, my savior. He brushed his hair backwards swallowing and I saw his Adam's apple move. He's hot, I must say. But how old can he be? I'd probably ask Ava later."I want to see clearer" Ava said and Anna took her hand rushing to the front."Go on Henry" I heard people scream. Glancing around, I saw his bodyguards, of c
"Fuck it dad!" I yelled as he spoke into the phone."You're the fucking Governor, just find out those behind this!" I yelled frustrated."My men are working on it" he said and I could sense his frustration. How the men keep getting away with it is what I don't know and I find it disturbing. It's downgrading that he's the Governor and such a thing is happening in his school."Whatever" I mumbled ending the call. This is the fucking fifth time the attack will be happening and according to him, his men haven't been able to do a thing about it, he's probably hiding something."She's awake sir" One of my guards said behind me."Okay" I mumbled turning to the direction of her ward, we're in the hospital, she fainted so they had to resuscitate her back to life. I wonder why she'd risk her life because someone got shot, I just hope she didn't get shot."How's she?" I asked the doctor and he bowed a little."Luckily, the bullet only scraped her arm" he answered and I nodded with a small smile.
CAMILAI scoffed as I got down from the supposed car the school brought. "Thank you" I mumbled as the driver drove away. I could feel the bile at my throat telling me something was off about the school but I'm ignoring that, I'm not letting that affect me. The school is owned by the Governor, so of course, there should be plenty of enemies. I walked gently into the house."Dad?" I called entering the kitchen but scoffed remembering he left. Yeah... he did, this morning. He had to travel, I felt tears burn at the brim of my eyes but I ain't crying. I rushed to my bag to call him but as I rampage through my bag, I couldn't help but fear. I bet my phone isn't here. Shit! I mumbled falling to the sofa. I lost my phone, probably when the attack happened, goodness how do I call him now? I sniffed as the tear finally slipped down, if only dad's here. I wouldn't have told him anyway, I thought taking a drink from the fridge. Goodness, I badly needed this. As I closed my eyes enjoying the flav
CAMILA As I walked into the school with my backpack on my shoulders, I shuddered as students were too much, I bet I'm late. Remembering I haven't talked to dad, I sighed dejectedly, I'm sure he'd be very worried. But it's okay, I'd probably give him a call with Ava's phone."Hey newbie" Someone called, on turning to the direction, I scoffed when I saw the guy. He looked rather unkempt, I'm sure he isn't here for normal classes, he's probably taking one of the business classes."Not a newbie" I mumbled trying to walk past him."Heyy" he held my shoulders and I scoffed."Let go" I ordered and he chuckled moving back."I guess I'd see you around pretty" he gave a malicious grin and I scoffed moving towards the class. Halfway, I paused when I saw the image. "Chloe?" I mumbled. She was ranting some incoherent words pulling a girl on her hair. Who's that? I thought walking closer to them. As I moved, they moved forward too but I was determined to see what she's up to."Hey" I yelled as she
"Chloe!!" I yelled over the phone."I want you at the school hospital right now!" I yelled before ending the call. She knows better than to disobey me.I sat gently on the chair waiting for the girl to be treated on, she has to explain what Chloe did."Boss, there's a call!" Fanscho yelled running to me. I paused on seeing the caller. Dad? I thought."Henry!!" His voice roared over the phone. "You were attacked just yesterday!" He yelled and I sighed."I just wanted to be in school dad" I mumbled."I want you out of there" he yelled over the phone."Dad?" I mumbled."Right now!" He said firmly and I stood up having no choice, for him to have called me, he really wanted me out of here."Get her back to school" I told Fanscho and he nodded before bowing. I sighed walking to her ward, I just wanted to see her. She laid peacefully on the bed, her arm isn't bleeding and gently, I walked away to my car.***CAMILAI woke up slowly, my vision blurry as I glanced around. I caught a glimpse of
CAMILAI exhaled walking into the compound but paused on seeing the door open. Is dad around? I thought hastening my step, I opened the door and I was welcomed by his furious face."Camila!" He yelled and a kind of fear ran through me. "Where have you been huh?" He asked and I sighed walking to him "Dad" I mumbled hugging him, he exhaled before stroking my hair."I was worried Camila" he mumbled and I laughed pulling away. His face went pale and I wondered why."What happened to your arm?" He asked grabbing my arm, he observed it carefully and I swallowed hard. I definitely ain't telling him I almost got shot."Nothing dad" I mumbled pulling away, "I only scraped my arm" I mumbled but he stared at me doubtfully. "Dadddd" I whined and he exhaled falling to the sofa."You got bullied already?" He asked slowly and I sighed having no other choice, I'd tell him the half truth."Yes dad but trust me I'd handle this" I said firmly."Your lips" he mumbled standing up, he got an emollient and
HENRYI rolled on the bed before opening my eyes but I squinted it immediately trying to adjust to the light. Goodness, I forgot to put the light off yesterday. I sat up picking my phone, I checked all my medias and luckily, no important message I have to attend to, my account manager must have taken care of it. A message popped into my phone and I smiled seeing it's Bilal, one of my business classes' partner. "Hey, when are you coming?" the message read."Soon bro" I replied back. I stood up walking to the bathroom, I did my business before coming back into the room. Picking a grey joggers and a polo, I gently sat on the sofa before calling Fanscho. He entered almost immediately."Good morning sir" he said with a bow. I only chuckled at him using the term "sir" for me."Book an appointment with my dad" I said and he nodded. I have to talk to dad, I know he isn't going to allow me go to school anytime soon and I have to discuss with him. "Tell me the time" I said and he nodded before
Anna glanced around in class as she watched the news.So Camila is the Governor's daughter. Wow. She exhaled as she continued watching.So, what will happen to Camila's and Henry's relationship huh? And Chloe, she wondered how she'd feel.She was so engrossed in the state's activities that she didn't know when the person approached her."Hey" the voice jerked her back to reality and she smiled on seeing Clinton.The smile left her face when she saw him stare intently at her."What?" She mumbled under her breath. His look was kind of holding compassion but she better not think far."Camila isn't in school?" He glanced around and she nodded to his question. Does he still want Camila?"Won't she come for exams?" She heard him say under his breath and she almost scoffed."Do you still like her?" She found herself asking. The question made Clinton pause because yes, he still wanted her."No" he lied but it felt like he was telling the truth.Anna gave a discreet smile before turning to him
Braden stared at Chloe as she slept. They had a good time and he enjoyed every bit of it. He came here to make love to her because when he heard she still wanted Henry, he wanted to go mad. He couldn't believe it but thank goodness, he thought of everything.Chloe was just someone who lacked love and Samantha only influenced her. So, he came with the intention to make things clear. He loves her and she needs to know.She moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner.…When Chloe woke up, he was still admiring her. Chloe sat up with a blush as her boobs dangled down.Braden pulled her to him before he exhaled, "I love you."His voice was in a whisper yet it meant so much to Chloe. She pulled away from the hug, her shock evident on her face.He said he loves her? She blinked rapidly as she processed it."You…you" she wanted to say but he stopped her with a kiss."Yes, I love you" he declared once more, a happy smile on his lips."Oh my gosh, oh my gosh"
CAMILAI sobbed as I curled up on the bed. I tried hugging my tiny self as I reminisced on everything.If Henry is angry then, maybe, he might just end things with me.He…he will tell me to fuck off. A tear ran down my face as I thought of it. No, I can't think of losing Henry.The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I dashed to the door immediately.My face sank when I saw it wasn't Henry but my face lit up seeing it's Fanscho."Fanscho…" I subconsciously pulled him into a hug.Damn, I haven't seen him for a long time.He chortled as he patted my back which got me smiling."You're really okay, thank goodness."I pulled away instantly and he laughed, "come with, Henry sent for you.""Henry?" I batted my eyelashes as happiness surged through me, "where's he?""Come with me, I'll take you."…My heartbeat quickened as we took every step towards the garden where Henry was. Fanscho was leading the way and I tentatively walked behind him.Will Henry break up with me? No, why'd he
CAMILAMy heart thumped loudly inside of me and I glanced at Henry but he only stared unfazed. Isn't he scared or bothered?Well, just now dad said he has to talk to the two of us and…I'm scared.I'm scared he's going to end everything between us. No, I don't want that. I don't want to lose Henry."Stop being a scared pussycat" Henry gave a lopsided smile and I didn't know how but…it made me smile. I know he meant something else. He's being naughty while I'm scared huh? Well of course, he became naughty when he came back.You had to see how many times he had me yesterday."Shut up!" I whispered jokingly but paused when the footsteps approached.Dad is coming."Heyy" he sat down and my heart sank at his sight. I hate having to see his arm this way.I held back my tears as I waited for what he had to say."Camila…" he called with an exhale and Henry scoffed."You know you're my blood now and that's affecting your relationship with Henry."A lone tear ran down my face as he said what I e
HENRYAnger boiled in me as I stared at them. Why did they even leave me in the hospital? I came here with Mia and just at the doorstep, I heard him talk lovingly to Camila. He loves her that much?Of course, she's his lost daughter. But he has never directed such attention to me. Even while Camila was away, he took Chloe as his daughter and he only treated me less than a son."Answer me!" I ordered and I saw Camila flinch. Her lips trembled and I knew she was scared.No, I wasn't her for that, I shouldn't make her scared ."Why did you leave?" I sauntered towards her and she swallowed trying to maintain eye contact with me."She had…" dad tried speaking but I stopped him."I need you to excuse us" I ordered, anger building in me. He only nodded and he ruffled Camila's hair before walking out.Wow! How much he loves her. Now, I'm forced to think he's not my dad."Why did you leave?" I held Camila's jaw as I stared softly at her."I…I…I…please…just go Henry" she stuttered and I exhaled
HENRYI woke up with a flicker of pain. My head hurt and my arm hurt. I tried opening my eyes but my lids felt too heavy.I tried rolling on the bed but the pain in my chest made me stay still. I groaned when the pain increased and the events came rushing to my memory.I was shot…I was with Camila . Camila was telling me to hold on but I couldn't. She told me she loved me, she told me to stay alive but my hands slipped off her face.Am I dead? Is that why I can't open my lids?I opened my mouth to speak, maybe someone could tell me where I was, "anyone there?""Henry?" I heard the voice. A familiar voice.I heard footsteps which meant the person was coming towards me. And…that's when my lids opened.I squinted my eyes as the rays hit my eyes and I saw Mia.Mia? I thought it's Camila. I glanced around as I searched for Camila but I only saw Chloe. Where's my love? Charles didn't take her, did he?Mia reached me and immediately, she took my hand, sobbing lightly."You're okay now.""Whe
CHLOEI grinned as they all stared at me as the only hope they had. I saw the Governor, no ex-Governor glared at me but I didn't care.When Camila left, I thought about it.She said a few words and her explanation seemed quite true but I didn't believe her. But when she talked to dad, I saw the affection he had for her. Even when they wanted to kidnap him, they took her first so it could be true.And then Henry is in the hospital, he needs my own kind of blood. So, I had to use the opportunity to my advantage. I've always wanted Henry or Braden but this morning, Braden didn't care so I could just have Henry.I know we aren't siblings but only dad and I know that. So…I have to keep it away from Camila to get what I want.I don't care if he's my cousin or not."Tell us, what do you want?" Camila asked desperately."Only one thing, before he wakes up, you get out of his life. I want Henry so you have to step back.""Chloe! This isn't the …" Mia tried saying but I raised my hands and she
CHLOEI got out and I saw her eyes widened."Camila?" Mia ran out and I ran after her."Mia!" We reached her and Mia retreated in her steps when she saw the person."Henry? Henry?" She bent down and I saw tears roll down her eyes. A tear rolled down when I saw him. Henry. He's covered in a pool of blood.How did this happen? I looked over at Camila and saw…her face was plastered and filled with bruises.Did Uncle Charles torture them this much?"Henry?' Mia kept shaking him but his lids didn't even open."How…how did this happen?" Mia stuttered before she stood up. She grabbed Camila angrily. "How did this happen?"She wanted to speak but all that came out was a gasp. She was choking on her tears."Henry?" I took his hands and saw they were pale already.I saw Camila stare intently at me as tears rolled down her face."Where's the Governor?" Mia asked and Camila paused."Dad…dad…he's inside" she rushed towards the left and I ran after her. Wait, why did she call him dad? We got in an
CHLOE"Chloe!" I heard the voice barge in and I turned to the person immediately."Mia?" I called as my lips quivered."Where…where's Henry? Where's Camila? Where is the Governor? Are…is the news true?" She rushed her words and I scoffed."I don't know…Mia, I don't" I shut my eyes as a tear rolled down. Is it true? Why'd he confess to it? I didn't even know it was…it was uncle Charles.Damn. He finally caught the Governor. A secret we've tried to bury. Yes, we, I knew about it years back and that's why I struck a deal with the Governor. For his secret to remain with me, he has to treat me like his own. Not like I'd rat him out or anything.And he did…"Where…where are the guards?" Mia asked and I looked up."They…they all left.""Goodness " she shut her eyes, pacing around. "Where…where are they? We have to go save them" she mumbled and my eyes widened. What?"What…what, we have no guards.""Where are they?" She yelled and I flinched."Here, the guards tracked their location before t
