Chapter 59: Chloe Calls Off
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Chloe 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

Chloe got out of her car shaking her head and hopefully getting rid of her Liam thoughts as she headed into the spa. It was a little after 10:30 a.m., and she had driven about forty-five minutes to get to the spa as it was in the posh area the next county over where Mr. Braun lived.It was in a large office building in a condensed metro like area. The building housed several shops in the lower levels and several floors of offices. The top floors were reserved for luxury condos and apartments. They had amenities such as a gym, pools, and a rooftop deck that even had a small peace garden. It was a really nice, expensive place.Chloe had been there once the summer before last with a friend she met at her book club for a birthday party. The host's fiancé had told her about the building and the spa on the fourth floor and suggested she go there, a
Stranger Than Murder Chapter 61: Chloe Goes to the Insurance Office
Chloe felt like a whole new person as she left the spa. New hair, she had decided to go with an aqua color. She could always dye it back if she needed to for a job. It had grown over the last few months and she had it cut short again. New nails, she got a manicure, and her almond-shaped nails were now in a slightly pinkish peach color, they did her makeup, and scrubbed her until her skin shined, she was waxed having hair ripped away leaving her smooth all over. Somehow they had convinced her to keep a small triangle shaped patch, but with a weird crop circle, tribal design just above her pussy lips and they dyed it aqua as well.It was just after 4:00 pm and she should be able to make good time getting to the insurance office if she took the expressway. Her time had lasted a little longer because she spent some extra time in the sauna and had lunch, which despite its claims to be healthy was actually extre

Stranger Than Murder Chapter 62: Chloe Meets Mr. Kawasaki
"I'd like to show you how much I appreciate all your efforts." Mr. Kawasaki said to Heather. Heather was against a floor to ceiling window that went along the side and back walls of the office. She was facing out with her palms flat against the glass looking straight out the window. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a large tight bun. She was about 5'4 and very slim. She was wearing a black lace bustier and a matching garter that attached to thigh high stockings. She had on black patent leather pumps and nothing else. There was a skirt not too far from her feet and a woman's blouse sprawled on the desk at the other corner of the room and no panties anywhere. Chloe wondered if Heather had ever been wearing any."You work so hard Mr. Kawasaki, Sir, it's the least I can do," Heather said. Mr. Kawasaki was abo

Chloe continued. “I saw them against the window naked, and then they started, well, having sex, and I just stood there and watched in shock I suppose." She heard a rustle from the corner and glanced over at Liam to see him adjust his stance a bit but other than a small smirk nothing else about him hinted that he was even listening."You suppose? And you didn't announce yourself or back out and let them be, seeing as it was a very intimate situation you walked in on? And as you put it you aren't rude." Detective Porter brought her attention back to him."Oh, no. I just stood there like an idiot and watched stunned. They moved to the desk, and he went to grab some lube. That's when Mr. Kawasaki noticed me.""What did he say to you?"
Stranger Than Murder Chapter 65: Chloe Prepares to Move
Chloe rolled over and moaned groaning against the world and all it threw at her. She needed to get out of this town. Everything around her was falling apart. She pulled herself out of bed and shut off the alarm. It was 6:30 am. She grabbed her gym bag out of the master closet and headed to the YMCA. She swam five miles and took a quick shower at the gym then headed home to change for work. She stopped at Starbucks and ordered a skinny caramel macchiato, and she gave the name Norma. The guy who called ‘Norma' raised his eyebrows when she picked up her drink."Thanks, Dave." She said with a grin even though his nametag incorrectly said, Sam."You're Welcome, Chloe." He said and smiled before returning to the next order. On her way to work she was nearly run off the road by a random old Corolla she couldn't see the driver. T
Stranger Than Murder Chapter 66: Chloe Gets Creeped Out
Chloe arrived home and needed to get busy, no more slacking off, she told herself and went into the master bedroom. She pulled out her suitcase then went through her dresser and put all the clothes she would need into the suitcase. Her panties, bras, speedo for laps at the YMCA, a few yoga outfits for her class with Kat, a few casual outfits she'd bought with Aunt Lane and Kendra and about three pairs of shoes; sneakers, flats, and walking shoes. She hung up several skirts and tops for work and left out a pair of black pumps that would have to work with all of them.After she had everything she needed in her suitcase, she packed up her closets and dressers. She pulled one coat out that would have to do and two dresses, one for a function or going out and one for daytime or work. She left most everything else and ha

"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 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.

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.

"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

She was still wearing her necklace, but her t-shirt and panties had been removed.

"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

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.
