Chapter 51: Chloe and the Letter
Last Updated:
2021-06-21 00:01:19Mr. Harris walked quietly with Chloe until they reached the entrance to the building. He turned to her and stood for a moment looking over her shoulder before finally talking.
"He was my boy, and I loved him probably best of them all, but you have always been good to me, and I hope to keep you as a daughter after this if you let me." He was still looking over her shoulder. He cleared his throat and looked into her eyes before finishing. "I'm sorry for how he has treated you even in death."
"Thank you." Chloe looked into her father-in-law's eyes and saw the conflict and sorrow that ate at him. "I'm not sure how I feel about all this, but I loved him since I was fourteen and even before. He has been an important part of my life, however, imperfect it turned out. I will honor the good times and move on from here with my life. Jerrod

Stranger Than Murder Chapter 52: Chloe and the Brain Freeze
"How do you not know where Screaming Brain Freeze is?" Chloe asked."Never had a need for a brain freeze." He said keeping his eyes on the road and adjusting the seat at the light."Even as a kid?""Didn't spend a lot of time here as a kid." He answered now adjusting the rear view mirror."Oh." She wasn't sure if it would be rude to ask why. Maybe his parents had a messy divorce. Maybe he was sent off to boarding school. Maybe he had witnessed a heinous crime and was put into witness protection and given a new identity and finally after years and years all those involved had died someway or another, and he was free to return to his life. No, there's no way that could be it.

Chloe shook her head and just let Liam drive. At the rate in which that slushie was coursing through his veins, she didn't think she could stop him anyway."What exactly do you plan on doing?" She asked as they pulled into her driveway."Well, investigate of course." He said getting out of the car and walking up the steps to her front door. "I am a detective after all. I must make sure the items in question are up to proper safety standards. Your safety is of the utmost importance.""How chivalrous of you." She mumbled as he fumbled with her keys. She took them from him and unlocked the door and before she could open it all the way he was already in the house and down the hall."I am here to serve and protect in any

Chloe opened the door to find her best friend, Kendra standing there with a duffle bag thrown over her shoulder. Kendra waved at some guy in a sleek black Lincoln MKT and then stepped in past Chloe who was looking between Kendra and the guy driving off in the Lincoln."Um, who is that?" Chloe asked as she closed the door. "And what are you doing here?""That was James, my Uber driver," Kendra said rummaging in the fridge for a bottle of water. She hated when anyone did that in her fridge unless they were family but she considered Chloe family, so she never gave it a second thought."I'm here because we have a date today and I'm on my way to the East coast for work. But that you already know." Detective Liam Johnson came into the room, and Chloe froze looking back and forth between L

The next morning Chloe woke up still in her dress on the spare bed with her heels tossed across the room somewhere. Kendra was snuggled under the comforter and didn't seem to have any clothes on at all, which wasn't surprising, nothing ever was with her. Chloe got up, got washed and dressed, and soon Kendra followed. Not long after, Kat was at Chloe's door and the three of them went off to yoga together. When Kat headed home after their yoga class, Chloe and Kendra headed to the grocery store to get supplies for their next list item. Kendra drove and on the way she got pulled over. "Were you speeding?" Chloe asked. "No. It's Pike." Kendra responded as she watched the officer approaching the car in the rear view mirror. "Fu

"Hello, Liam. Do you always just come in without an invitation?" She asked mostly out of curiosity since she was still having a hard time figuring him out. She was quite exhausted and a bit tipsy though with no energy for his confusing looks and flirting or whatever it was he did. Plus she was supposed to be avoiding him."Huh? Oh, you definitely invited me in." He said darkly looking her up and down. She realized what she was wearing and tugged a bit on the hem of her shirt. "What's that you got there?" He asked, nodding to the gift in her hand."Oh. Kenny left it for me. I forgot to open it until now.""A late funeral gift? Nice!" He grinned as if just the idea was highly entertaining. "Well, are you going to open it? The suspense is killing me."

Liam entered the spare bedroom and pushed the comforter aside exposing the satin sheets underneath. He sat her down on the bed and kissed her softly sucking on her bottom lip before pulling away. Then her shirt was being lifted up over her head; he grinned at what he saw. She had lost most of the fifteen pounds that had been annoying her when on vacation with Kendra since she was forced to work out every morning with Kendra and had made friends with a French workout partner by night. Liam pushed her back gently onto the bed, and with his knee between her legs, he kissed each of her nipples softly then her belly before standing back up. She watched him unlace and step out of his shoes. He began unbuttoning his shirt from the top down all the while his eyes focused on hers. She saw his hard chest with perfectly trimmed hair come into view, and she thought it was like a really sexy strip show sans the

Chloe stared at the phone until the screen blinked off and even then she kept staring at the black screen in disbelief. She shook her head a bit and cleared her stinging throat. She really needed to find some sort of will power when it came to that man. She finally queued the phone back to life and dialed the number to the insurance company.An operator answered the phone and Chloe was surprised not to get an electronic prompt system of some sort. She told the woman who she was and gave her account information. She was transferred to another office where she waited on hold for about a minute."Kawasaki's office. Heather speaking. How may I assist you?" A friendly voice said to her. Chloe was not expecting the service to be this pleasant and was slightly taken aback. She had put off calling for so long because she assumed annoying robots would send

Chloe got out of the shower and headed to her closet, the spare bedroom closet, which was now the bedroom she used. She hadn't slept in the master bed or used the room in months now. Mr. Kawasaki at the insurance company told her to stop by after work to go over the paperwork. Work, she thought trying to decide what to wear to work. She took into account her night with Kendra as mild as it may have been she did consume quite a bit of wine and for the second night in a row.Plus even though she couldn't stay awake with Liam, which was probably in her best interest considering what was about to happen, she did wake up gasping for air and seeing red several times after having nightmares as was her usual nightly routine. And there was her talk with the insurance company, which had not left a good taste in her mouth, so

"Maybe we can help distract each other," Jackson suggested. "Mmm." She moaned as he kissed her again, closed the door without leaving and carried her to bed. Chloe thought at long last something good would come of all this turmoil she had been through. She was tired of all the craziness and just wanted to have a night where she didn’t have to think about her dead husband, or neighbors, or the neighbors brother stalking her and running her down. “Aaahh..” Jax had somehow already stripped Chloe down to her bra and panties and had been squeezing her breasts like two stress balls before he pinched her nipples hard. “Can I?” Jax suddenly stopped and asked in a hoarse voice if he could take her bra off. Why now was he asking? He hadn’t asked about anything else.

Meredith had followed Brayden through the closet where the bedroom was. A large king sized bed sat in the middle of the room against the left wall facing a window to the right. There was a white sheer curtain that was on a round track that encircled the bed. The curtains were pulled back and framed the bed on either side.There was a small seating area past the bed but Meredith was more concerned with the bed in front of her. She sighed a sigh of relief and as she went around to the other side of the bed as she left Brayden’s side their hands drifted apart.Meredith sat on the bed then turned to Brayden and he nodded. She followed him back into the closet where he opened a bag and pulled out a smaller bag and handed to her and he guided her to the bathroom that was connected to the closet by a door in the middle of the closet on the same wall as the bedro

She was pushing everything to the back of her mind hoping it wouldn’t surface anytime soon. She wanted to move on and move forward if at all possible. She was focusing on imagining her future when she heard someone clear their throat. “Uh, excuse me do you mind?” She looked up and saw a tall, lanky man with short shaggy curly brown hair. He had brown beady, almost dead eyes and fuzz that resembled a sort of illusion of a beard gone wrong. He was wearing a red

She gathered up anything she forgot to pack before or had taken out of her luggage and then made breakfast for her and her house guest, soon to be house sitter, Kat.Kat came in and ate and then went off to get washed and dressed as well. It was five minutes to ten when Darren showed up with a briefcase. He explained all the paperwork as she signed for her transfer to the L.A. office."We are still on holiday break until next week, and then it will take about a week to get your new office set up," Darren told her. "I will call you beforehand to confirm the particulars but expect to begin a week from next Monday.""Thank you, Darren," Chloe said, leading him to the door just as Kyle knocked on it.

Chloe woke up on a stretcher in front of Veronica and Gerri's old house. She blinked a few times then wrinkled her nose at the lingering burn of the smelling salts. As much as she disliked them she was getting used to them. She looked up to see an EMT looking back at her, and he flashed a light across her eyes. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Yes, yes I'm fine Josh. My name is Chloe Harris I'm thirty, and I want to go home." "Fine by me." He told her with a smile. "I want to make my wife’s new years eve party if I can."
Stranger Than Murder Chapter 93: Chloe Wakes Up
Chloe woke up, she was in a family room of a split level house. She recognized it almost immediately as Veronica Moulton's. It was the house Veronica lived in with her mother, Gerri before they both got married and moved out. Gerri had gotten married and moved an hour out of town and left her house to Veronica. Later Veronica married Nicki and moved around the corner from Chloe. Chloe had never thought to ask what had happened to the house and Veronica never mentioned it, but here it was exactly as she remembered it. The furniture was the same though a bit dingier and the carpeting, wall fixtures, everything was as it had been when Veronica lived here. It didn't make sense to Chloe. Surely they would have taken their things with them and whoever the new owners were wouldn't want pictures of Veronica and her mother on the walls. Chloe blinked and noticed

Chloe woke up to a mouth on hers, and she blinked into the dark with a start gasping into the mouth. She felt a hot body pressed against hers and realized she had no clothes on. She was still wearing her necklace, but her t-shirt and panties had been removed. She was getting dizzy and almost out of breath when she was released from the kiss."You went to bed without me," Liam whispered in her ear. "And you were dressed.""I…" Liam was nibbling her earlobe, and she felt him hot between her legs. "I tried to wait up.""I want you," Liam said and was sucking on her breast teasing her nipple as he engulfed her. When he let go, he finished his sentence, "to feel what I feel.""Ah." She opened her legs to him as he

Will you be okay by yourself when you get home, Luv?" Liam asked Chloe at the door as she locked up."Hmm? Yeah, I'll just paint the master."

Stranger Than Murder Chapter 90: Chloe Exchanges Christmas Presents
Chloe got in her borrowed black Corolla wearing an off the shoulder sweater, jeans, her rabbit boots and her coat she had left out. Kyle put her luggage in the trunk, and she thanked him then headed to the airport to pick up Liam. She had told him what Brownstone said, and he agreed she shouldn't be alone. He was going to stay with her until they caught Marilyn. It was already dark when she got to the airport and pulled up to where Liam waited for her at his gate. "So this is why the patrol couldn't find you?" Liam said getting in the Corolla. "Patrol?" Chloe pulled away from the curb and headed to her house. "I told you I wasn't home. Brownstone wanted me to lay low." "Yeah, you said you were at a friend's, so I sent Patrol to Katherine Chevy's place, and they couldn'
