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

    Rachel walked into Khloe's office, holding some files for her. “Excuse me ma’am but…” she paused when she found her head dangling in a chair, sleeping. The position looked so weird to her. “What kind of ugly sleeping is this?” She asked disgustedly by the way her body was twitching as if she was struggling. “Maybe I should come back next time,” she said, turning to leave. “Mark…” Rachel stopped at the faint call. Khloe was sleeping talking….. “Who is Mark? Ohh, I remember. Isn't he one of her former drivers? Why would she be calling out his name in her sleep? Is she dreaming about him?” she asked, her brows raised in confusion. Meanwhile, Khloe was on a run for her life as she was being chased by something. It's face was very unclear. She tried calling out Arthur's name severally but he didn't answer at any one point and the thing, with a long slender body and a face that is covered with dark clouds, paused in front of her. “What is happening to me? What is this?” She cried as s

    “What is the matter? You look surprised!” Sylvester asked Khloe as she wore a shocked face.“It's nothing?” She disregarded, crumbling the notes in her hands. Sylvester arched his brows, suspicious of her. “She really isn't all that good at lying,” he thought to himself.“So, what am I doing next?” He asked, changing the topic. Khloe got up and started telling him things about the office. Though, being extra careful so she wouldn't reveal the entire business plan to him or something important because she was still keeping to her sister's words. “If he is really working for Emily, it's better I don't give him a lot of information. Who knows he might give it to Emily and in turn she'd use all of it against me,” her thoughts were running wild as she informed him about the company. Sylvester listened carefully to every single word that Khloe said and later asked questions where necessary.“I think that'll be all for today. You'll be working alongside Rachel for more details,” Khloe sai

    “Am I truly in love with Mark? Even after all this time of his absence? It must be something else, maybe because I think about him way too often. Or… no, I'm just overthinking things. There's no possible way that I love him… but…” Khloe paused in her thoughts, adjusted herself while rolling out of her bed onto her bed stand. “Is this letter really from Mark? Is he the anonymous M?” She said, grabbing the letter she had received from earlier and the previous one she squeezed. Her eyes scanned the pages, reading the words she had already memorised, searching for any clues that could reveal the truth. The letters were cryptic, but the words resonated deep within her. "Why does it feel like he's speaking directly to my soul?" she wondered. Khloe's mind raced with questions, her heart beating faster with each passing moment. “Is this letter somehow related to my dreams? I know it sounds off but, I keep seeing Mark in my dreams and now these messages....it all doesn't make any sense t

    “What… what do you mean?” Khloe asked as she sat frozen in her spot. Adrenaline surging through her body. “What are you saying Kelly?” She repeated. “Your life is in grave danger Khloe. People are after you and I do not know for what reasons. Think of it, ever since you claimed the company, what good has come out of it?” Kelly paused, searching her eyes for any answers but got nothing in return. “Exactly, nothing. It has been one problem to another,” she paused and silence stretched between the two ladies. With a sigh, Khloe shook her head and spoke. Her voice was soft and defeated “How come you know about Sylvester?” “I met with Leo, my colleague in IT and we got into a discussion which made me bring up the topic of Sylvester and we decided to go a bit about him. I had his phone number so I gave it to him. Sylvester isn't who he seems to be, Khloe.” Khloe's eyes widened in shock, her mind racing with the implications, thoughts that can't be put into words. Finally she managed

    “Be specific about what you're saying mother. How are we going to make them go bankrupt?” Mara asked curiously. She was no in support of this but since her mother and brother were, she had no choice but to comply.“Can you seize this your question. Grab me the laptop,” Emily gestured to a laptop over the table which Wilson got up and took to her.Emily got the laptop from him and inserted the USB drive and then a series of information about the company's latest transactions and monetary value popped up immediately. They opened in bewilderment as they gazed at the database, the sequels and series.“This is a lot of information. We can use these files against them. Plus, change something here. Look, they made a transaction with the SandyFlow company about two days ago. Khloe is really doing well keeping up with these numbers,” Wilson commented genuinely impressed by it all.“It's not the time for that. We should cherish this and….” Emily was saying but got interrupted by a vase outside.

    Khloe decided to stay behind and work on reviving the late Williams Foster's companies. She employed private investigators who spotted the wrong that was affecting the company's growth. It seems Katrina had been on a quest to take money out of the company which was always deposited to her mother's bank account. Upon revelation of such information, Katrina and her mother, Rose were sent to jail to serve a lifetime sentence. Khloe reestablished everything right from hiring new and skilled staff, getting new furniture for the company and increasing the advertising of all the company's products.

    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.
