Khloe woke up with a slight headache. She scratched the back of her head then pulled the duvet away from her. That was when she noticed she wasn't in the hospital. Up until then she hadn't noticed where she was.

“Where am I?” She mentally asked herself scanning the room with intensity. It was very tidy and looked pretty decent, but it wasn't her room either.

“How did I end up here?” she asked rhetorically and got out of the bed.

“All I remembered was falling asleep after I heard of Kelly's death,” she said. The thought of Kelly being dead weighed her down and she felt like sobbing but this time she decided not to.

“I need to know the truth about everything. From what I heard, someone almost killed me and did something to my sister too. I have to do something and quickly find out who this person was,” she said with determination, marching to the door.

She turned the knob, opened the door and poked her head out. The passage was very silent and she saw a clock hanging on the wall

    Khloe's heart rate didn't stop even as she walked back into her room. She could still remember, how he held her hands and stared deep into her soul, while saying those words that left her heart dancing to the rhythm of his voice. She merely escaped by pretending to yawn so he could let her be. “That was something,” she said immediately she entered her room and closed the door. Her hands on her chest feeling the rhythm of her heart beat. “Can you not embarrass me like that..” she said to her heart. Then, pushed herself to the bed. Not feeling tired at all. “What should I do now? I can't go back there,” she said, facing the ceiling. She tried to remember her past life but it was only a picture of her dad, sister and her unhappy marriage life. Just few glitches of memory. “How could I have forgotten so much? I just want to know his role in my life,” she said, turning the other side, now facing her table. She grabbed her phone, luckily nothing was wrong with it and it was unlocked.

    “Sure,” Arthur replied Khloe which made her smile. “I'll be back. Let me go get my blanket…” he was saying but she interrupted him. “There won't be a need for that,” she spoke underneath her breath. Arthur stopped at his track and turned. “Why?” He asked “Well… You wanted to bring your blanket to sleep where? I wanted you to stay on the bed with me,” she said as her face flushed, her gaze on her legs. Arthur wasn't so shocked about this, to him he just wanted to be with her. “Oh sure,” he said again and they both climbed the bed. Once they were settled in, Khloe said to Arthur… “Thank you,” she whispered. Arthur wasn't sure why she was thanking her but he accepted anyway. Khloe felt calm by his presence and decided to sleep again. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Arthur couldn't sleep too as he was so excited to have her with him. He carefully placed his hands on hers, then closed his eyes. The next morning, Khloe woke up, checked her room but Arthur was al

    “She's a thief. Arrest her,” Faith told the buffed Security officers. While they approached her, Khloe's heart sank and she went into panic. Her eyes darted frantically to everyone and every corner of the room. “Phillip isn't here. He would have helped explain the situation. Or was Arthur lying to me?” Her thoughts ran wild. The security men got closer and were about to handcuff her when a familiar voice called her name. “Khloe?” She turned to where the voice came from and met a face that she hasn't seen in a long time. “Anastasia!” “What are you doing here? And what's going on?” Anastasia asked, looking at the security men. “I came to get clothes. My friend said he owns the place but when I tried explaining it to her, she wouldn't listen,” Khloe narrated. “Ma’am, stop struggling,” one of the buffed men spoke. “Let go of me,” Khloe complained. “Who is this friend of yours and why are they claiming to own the place? Because this place belongs to my cousin,” Anastasia said.

    Arthur Cassius was so furious at all of them that he fired them on the spot. Faith and the two security men were sacked immediately. Despite Khloe's plea, he gave her no listening ears. “It would have been better if you'd follow her,” Anastasia said once the commotion had died down. Phillip wasn't exempted too, he was fired on the spot. “I had an emergency meeting,” Arthur answered. They all went to a nearby restaurant to get something to eat. They then placed their orders, the orders came in and they began eating. Anastasia was observing the two love birds in front of her and chuckled. “What is so funny, Anastasia?” Khloe asked. Anastasia shook her head and said, “It's nothing, don't mind me. I am just in awe seeing the two of you. Last time at the hotel, you said you never knew Xander and here you are, having breakfast with him acting like a couple,” Anastasia said, and Khloe's face turned red. “Don't say that. We aren't couples. I am sure he just said that back there becaus

    “Did you say something?” Arthur asked Khloe. Her head was still poking out to catch a glimpse of what seemed like Ethan. “Where did he go? Wasn't that him?” She asked herself, as she lost sight of him. “I thought I saw.. um.. nevermind…”Khloe replied to Arthur but decided not to tell him anything. Few minutes later they arrived at the mansion. Arthur alighted the car, slamming it shut which frightened Khloe. “Come on, let's go!” He demanded. Khloe was confused about his attitude. “Hey slow down,” she called after him, trying to catch up with his pace. “Arthur!!” She yelled, making Arthur stop in his tracks as he slowly turned to her. His gaze was static and unreadable making Khloe nervous. The bags felt heavy on her and she didn't know how to call for help. All the courage she had had suddenly disappeared. She doesn't know why she's like this and if she could remember clearly, she's a really strong and courageous woman. Losing her memories made her lose half of her life expe

    “Khloe… Khloe?” He called her as he struggled to get her out of the water. He dragged her out of the pool and began shaking her vigorously. He couldn't help but blame himself for leaving her all alone in the pool yet she told him that she couldn't swim earlier. “This is my fault…all my fault. Why can't I just be there for her? I can't seem to protect her even when she's under my watch…What's wrong with me? He said to himself and he tried to figure out how to help her. He checked her breathing and pulse then he found that she was still breathing, but it was faint. “Oh, thank God,” he muttered, then he proceeded to give her CPR. After fifteen minutes of continuous heart compression, Khloe jerked up and coughed out the water. Khloe gasped for air, sucking in a deep breath after all the water had left her lungs. Her hands wandered around, looking for where to hold until she got a hold of Arthur's tank top where she held it so tight until it ripped. "It's okay I'm here now,

    Khloe Ferguson's heart throbbed so hard in her chest as her face was now a few inches away from Arthur's thereby making her close her eyes for her shy self couldn't maintain eye contact anymore. After several seconds, she didn't feel anything but rather a slight chuckle from Arthur which made her open one of her eyes to peep at him. She peeked and saw Arthur suppressing his laugh. “What's funny?” She asked, pouting her lips. “You're teasing me, aren't you?” Arthur bursted into a loud hysterical laugh which made Khloe furious. “Why are you laughing?” She asked and he stopped, wiping a stray tear.. “You look cute pouting,” he said. “What did you think I wanted to do? You really can be teased easily,” he commented, making her blush. “Don't do that again,” she stammered but warned. “What? Why? It's fun. Did your stomach do a funny dance? Or did your heart threaten to leap out?” he teased again in a low baritone with seductive words. Khloe got pissed, her face turning red as s

    Two months after the plotting and kidnapping of Khloe. Mrs. Hannah Foster, Ethan's stepmother, was seated in her home with her sons, Clark and Martin. They have just realised, for these months, that the key Khloe gave them was fake. “How can we be so dumb that we didn't think that she would hand us the wrong key?” Martin said letting out his frustrations. Clark hissed and said, “That Khloe girl is something else. Fooling us all and giving us the wrong key. I know she wants to accumulate wealth on her own. Such a greedy being,” he spat in disgust. Hannah was quiet for a while, nobody knew what she was thinking but she was lost in deep thoughts. She too didn't know Khloe would do such a thing to her. “Mom. We have to do something to get the right key from her,” Martin let out. Hannah sighed and said, “Who knows where she might be? That poor wretched girl is causing nothing but nuisance to me.” “I think we should do something, and fast,” Clark opined. “Do you have anything in mind,

    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. This brought joy and happiness to all the Fosters’ companies, thus increased growth of 15% in one month. Ethan on the other hand became messed up as a result of drinking alcohol all day and night. He became useless and couldn't even handle the only company he had so he was sent to a rehabilitation centre. After two months, Lucas decided to travel to Maryland to meet his only daughter because she

    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. Call the doctor,” Hannah answered.“Mother, I don't think you're in position to go home no

    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.
