Arthur Cassius finally got released from the hospital and was asked to rest well and take good care of himself. This was a week after his legs had been shot. He went back to his mansion in Washington. He sat into his favourite armchair, wincing slightly as he adjusted his bandaged legs. Sam sat across him, as he has always been there for him even though he was fired. Arthur seemed too stubborn to accept that he actually needed all the help that he could get so Sam too, decided to be stubborn and stay around.

“Are you feeling better, sir?” Sam asked concerned.

“Yeah, I am,” he replied simply.

“Why are you still here?” Arthur asked.

“I couldn't just leave you in this state, plus I'm the only one who knows how to go about the situation, so you definitely need me,” he stated firmly. Arthur's brows arched as he stared at Sam.

"You really want to be by my side?” He asked curiously.

Sam shrugged and nodded with a yes.

“Are you into men?” Arthur asked out of the blue, letting his curi

    The next morning Khloe and Anastasia set out to Maryland, in hopes of finding Xander. “Are you set?” Khloe asked Anastasia as she buckled her seatbelt. “Yeah, ” Anastasia replied, getting into the car. “What about your family and company. Is anyone going to watch over your company?’ Anastasia asked, concerned, as she laced her voice. “My assistant is going to watch over it closely and I've also informed my family about my whereabouts so you don't need to worry about all that,” Khloe said. “I still don't believe you'd be the one helping me after our friendship rollercoaster ” Anastasia said feeling guilty of the things she'd done to Khloe in the past. “Well, we're over it now. What was so important about twelve years ago that you'd want to bring it up now? You're my friend now, Anastasia and even if we disagree in almost everything, I still treat you as my younger sister,” Khloe said in a low soft voice. “Wait…younger sister? I am two weeks older than you,” as she was about to

    Arthur Cassius woke up as though he had been startled from his sleep, wondering if someone was talking about him. “Is someone talking about me?” he asked, rubbing his ear absent-mindedly. He rolled out of the bed and hit the showers. And after he was done with his morning preparations, he called Sam. “So, you got any location on where he might actually be this time?” He asked over the phone. He didn't want to come out because then people would probably recognize him, and also, because he had seen Brandon the previous night. “He might have recognized me so it's better to stay put till he goes away,” he said internally. “We have nothing for now. The device looks a little distorted but we're fixing it and I will get back to you soon,” Sam said. “Alright. Don't take so long, I'll be waiting,” he said, hanging up the phone. He laid on his bed waiting for room service to bring him in his food. Finally the doorbell rang and he got up to check the door. “I brought your food sir, as yo

    Tension continued to build as the two ladies stared daggers into each other's eyes. Hannah's hands stretched out to grab Khloe while Khloe didn't bulge at all. “I'm telling you for the last time. Don't fucking touch me with those filthy hands of yours. I'm not handing you those keys,” Khloe replied, more infuriated than ever before. “So, you do have the keys. You have finally admitted. Very well then,” Hannah said, returning her hands to herself. “I have been kind to you and politely asked you to give them to me, but you've refused. Just prepare for the consequences,” Hannah said, turning to leave. “Whatever you say doesn't bother or even move me at all. I'll take those keys to my grave, not you nor Ethan will get that key,” she yelled after Hannah. But got ignored as Hannah entered her vehicle and drove off. “God, that woman is annoying. I just do not understand what she wants to do with the safe….such an ungrateful gold digger. What's wrong with these women? Even Emily is after

    Khloe Ferguson returned back to her work after a day of rest. The work was usual and nothing had happened recently. She decided to keep her thoughts aside, thoughts of the letter, Hannah's threat, and Emily's plotting. She went all in for her business and wanted to see it flourish more than ever before. She stepped into her office, determined to leave the drama and threats behind. With a deep breath, ready to focus on her work and push her business to new heights. The familiar routine of meetings, emails, and strategy sessions provided a welcome distraction from the turmoil in her personal life. “Alright. I need to set new goals for this company. It's not going down on my watch ” she spoke determinedly. As she delved into her work and tasks, her entrepreneurial spirit took over. She was determined to succeed, to prove to, not only herself but to others that she was more than capable of overcoming any obstacle, her haters and those who had eyes for the company. The fire in her be

    Khloe Ferguson's heart slumped in her chest as she met a set of emerald eyes staring back at her with the same wild expression as her. “What the hell is this lunatic doing here?” She thought to herself. “I hope it isn't what I'm thinking about.” “Ah, Khloe darling. I was wondering when you'd be back. Come sit here,” Lucas offered her a seat. Her eyes still on Sylvester, before anyone could speak she said, “What is he doing here?” she asked and everyone turned their gaze to her. “Who?” Lucas asked. "Sylvester!” Khloe's voice was laced with nothing but anger, "What are you doing here? I thought I made it clear I wanted nothing to do with your ridiculous proposal." Her eyes narrowed, her mind racing with suspicion. Everyone was surprised by this sudden action of hers. “What do you mean by proposal?” Kelly asked, puzzled by her sister's choice of words. But Khloe ignored them and continued "You're not stalking me, are you?" She took a step back, her heart racing with a mix

    Her eyes flung open and were met by a very beautiful set of blue eyes staring back at her. Khloe was confused as to how she even got to the room, Because it wasn't hers. “What am I doing here?” She asked, her eyes frantically scanning the dark room. “Don't you worry about that, Khloe. You're here now and that's what matters,” Arthur said sinisterly. “Mark? What.…how.… What is this place?” She stammered, unable to move. She tried moving but her body felt reluctant and numb as if something heavy was stopping her from getting up. Something was on her, and it was Arthur. “What the heck? Get off of me,” she commanded but he only laughed hysterically. “How can I? I've been waiting for this for a long time and now it's my chance,” he said, smirking. “What are you trying to do? Don't do anything stupid, okay? We can talk things out,” she negotiated but Arthur turned deaf ears. “Don't worry… you'll be just fine,” he said, caressing her bare thighs with his hands and yelping. She tried

    Khloe Ferguson screamed and jerked from her bed. Sweating and trembling. “This isn't real. That was just a dream, a dream,” she repeated, curling up herself. She felt her duvet wet, and opened to see something like water all over the bed. “What is this? That isn't the right question, is this my room?” She said scanning the place, she recognized everything and knew it was her room. Then, she slowly turned her head to check if he was there but nothing. “It was a dream. It was a dream. A nightmare, nothing less…” as she was comforting herself, Lucas and Kelly bursted into her room. “What's wrong?” Kelly asked. “Why did you scream like that?” “You woke everyone up. What is it?” Lucas then asked. She kept quiet but was still shaking from the horrible dream. “Why are you sweating? And why is your bed wet?” Lucas kept pestering her with questions but she couldn't find the right words. “How can I tell them, in my dream, I almost got raped by my driver. The driver that turned me down.

    Khloe Ferguson froze at the spot, thinking she had made the worst mistake of her life by letting a total stranger into her business. If it was her personal life, it wouldn't have been a problem but not her business. “I can't withdraw my words now, can I? I have already told him to resume tomorrow, how can I have done such a horrible thing? I won't let it go,” she thought to herself. Immediately Sylvester left, Khloe picked up her phone to call Kelly. “I need to gather more intel on him. Why is he here? What offer was he given? And at what cost. If it's anything I know, his parents are by far so well off, I mean they're so rich then why is he working with Emily,” her mind raced with thoughts and possibilities as to what Sylvester's actual intention was. Her phone buzzed a few times before Kelly finally picked up the call, “How did you get this information?” Khloe didn't hesitate to ask. “Khloe, I can't talk right now, I'm with Emily and those kids,” she said, her voice above wh

    The next morning, Kelly woke up and walked to the next room to check on Khloe but to her surprise, she wasn't in the room. She proceeded downstairs only to find Khloe holding a travel bag. “I'm so sorry I didn't wake you up to tell you anything but I have to leave,” Khloe said. “It's okay but uhh…where are you going?” “I can't tell you that but be rest assured that I'm going to be fine. I have to do this alone,” Khloe said. Kelly looked at Khloe in deep confusion but she knew she wouldn't be able to stop her because determination was written all over her face. “Okay then Khloe but at least take my car,” Khloe suggested. “I don't think that'll be a great idea. How will you get it?” “What do you mean?” Kelly asked. “I'm leaving the country,” Khloe uttered. “Whattt??? Okay just take the car and leave the car keys with an officer. I'll get a can and pick it up once I'm done washing up.” Khloe hurriedly got the car keys and drove out of Kelly's home. “Hello Arthur. Khloe just l

    “Ethan, what are you doing there? Where is Khloe?” Arthur asked.“Uh..umm…uhhh,” Ethan muttered.“Don't overthink it. It was a direct question. Where is she?” Arthur asked again, his voice raised above normal. “She…uhh, she went that way,” Ethan responded, his voice shaky.Arthur looked at the path and started running heading for the direction Ethan had pointed. Kelly ran right behind him as she shouted for him to slow down.“Wait Arthur, let's take my car. That way, we will get to her fast,” Kelly suggested.They both got into the car and drove away as they stared sideways in case of anything. Arthur let down the car window, took out his head and started calling out Khloe's name but all in vain.“I think I saw movement. Wait….it's Khloe,” Kelly uttered.Arthur immediately got out of the car before it could even stop. He panted as he finally caught up with her and slowly touched her arm.“Khloe, please wait. Please hear me out,” Arthur said in a gentle tone.“I don't know what to thi

    “Wait up, Khloe,” Ethan called out.“I don't want to deal with you Ethan. What do you want now?” Khloe asked in a rather unpleasant tone.“I know I didn't treat you well but I'm now reformed. My eyes are open now. Hannah is not even my mother and I don't love Katrina anymore,” Ethan blabbered. “Why are you telling me all this and what makes you think I want to hear any of it? You really want to take advantage of the situation and take me back but that won't happen, not even in your wildest dreams,” Khloe yelled as she trolled through the woods.“Okay…okay, I understand. At least let me drive you home. You can't wander off on the streets at this time. It's not safe because we don't know if everyone that wants to harm you is out of the way.”“Okay fine but you mean nothing to me at all and….” She was still talking when a female figure appeared along the path they were taking.“You dirty pathetic thief, where is the key? You have to give it back,” Hannah said firmly, holding tight fists

    Kelly had just arrived at the mansion when she saw a convoy leave the premises followed by Arthur. They were all driving at full speed so this made Kelly turn around and follow them.“I wonder what Arthur is up to. He has been planning his schemes alone but today, I must find out,” she said, as she rushed to catch up with them.She followed closely as they drove into a seemingly quiet and isolated area. She was getting scared but it wasn't the time for her to back out because she had already come this far. Her mind raced with uncertainty and worry for what was ahead but she kept her eyes on the road, dimmed her car lights and created some distance so that she's not noticed. She could only trail along the back lights of the vehicle that was immediately in front of her. Kelly noticed that the vehicles she was following were starting to park so she looked for a spot to squeeze her relatively small car. She got out with the only light being the flashlight on her phone to follow Arthur and

    “I am surely putting an end to that girl tonight and she won't even see it coming,” Hannah Foster said, firmly. “Yes mother…we are already waiting outside the residence where the two reside. She's not getting away this time and I'll make sure of that,” Marcus assured her on the other side of the call. “The warehouse at the South East of the farm is ready and that's where you'll bring that pathetic girl. My men are already positioned and there's no way she'll get out of this alive,” Hannah responded. Meanwhile Ethan had stopped by his mother's room to greet her when he heard muffled voices and couldn't believe what his mother had just said. He was so close to her that he had never imagined that she'd actually plot to have someone killed so he leaned forward to eavesdrop. “Finally we can get what's rightfully ours and also get rid of this bustard, Ethan,” she added. “Now is even the right time to tell this idiot that I'm not his real mother. I have had to deal with his idiocy for

    Two years later, Arthur and Khloe's bond grew stronger by the day as their relationship blossomed into something beautiful, full of love, care and compassion. This was exactly what Khloe had always longed for and at this point, she hopes for nothing but longevity, sustainment and forever unending love. It was going on well between the couple but Arthur hadn't really had the time to tell Khloe the whole truth. He felt like keeping everything away from her was the best decision and that she had suffered way too much to take in all the nonsense that he had to say. At least that's what he called it…NONSENSE. Khloe and Arthur often had date nights both at the mansion and outdoors but at very specific spots. They valued their privacy a lot and they wanted to love themselves the best way they know how to. It was really beautiful because being in love really looked so good on Khloe. All this was happening and they had no idea of the evil plans that were being schemed. The Elliots and the Fo

    Love was in the air as the two love birds couldn't let each other go for a single minute. They sat on the couch as they caressed each other giggling like no one else was in the room. It's like they had spent years without seeing one another but well, what can we say…Love is indeed blind.Kelly however hadn't stopped thinking about what Arthur was talking about earlier. She was really concerned so much yet it wasn't her business and let alone she wasn't in position to get concerned at all.“It's getting late, I should get going,” Kelly said, as she bid farewell.Everyone said bye to her and they continued to talk till very late. “Sam, I think you'll have to sleep in the guest house tonight. You can't leave this late yet there's a lot of room in the house. You'll crash here tonight,” Arthur said to Sam.*“Mother, how are you feeling now?” Clark asked.“I am feeling better now, I want to go home.

    Clark shoke his mother so hard while he cried heavily as he saw her shut her eyes. Hannah then groans a little as she tries to move her hand but the effort is so weak. Clark tried to keep her awake by calling out her name but it was evident that he was so confused and scared. He panicked so much as tried to soothe his mother. The sounds of sirens grew louder as the paramedics approached the Foster residence. They barged into the house and carried Hannah onto a stretcher making their way to the ambulance. Clark followed closely as he held his mother's hand and asked her to hang in there. He got into the ambulance with her and they headed to the hospital. *“Take that corridor and head to the right at the end of it.
