Arthur studied her feature through the rearview mirror, her eyes too on him. The silence stretched between them and what was heard was only the humming of the vehicle and honking of other cars.

Her eyes held curiosity alongside a malicious grin. She thought she had him but unfortunately didn't.

He smirked internally before saying, “I'm sorry ma'am, but you've got the wrong person.”

“Mair Hotel, 9 pm,” Khloe said confidently.

“I don't know what you're talking about ma’am,” Arthur denied.

“The man I saw had a striking resemblance. I must have been mistaken then,” Khloe said.

Arthur glanced at her from the rearview mirror, he let out a small smile then thought to himself. “She's cute when she does that.” Moments later, they arrived at the Fergusons residence.

They parked at the parking lot and came down, immediately Khloe went straight to the main house. Upon entering, she met Emily in the living room watching her favorite soap opera. She was so engrossed in it that we did

    Khloe Ferguson woke up to a buzzing sound from her phone that was vibrating at the study desk. Grumpily she turned on the message and found something she didn't want to see, something that'll ruin her morning. Apparently, Ethan and Katrina are going to have a baby. Khloe's eyes widened in shock!! “Didn't they just get married? How come she is pregnant?” Khloe said. Her eyes were now wild open. Ethan and Katrina were internet sensations so it was easy to dig up the history of those two, and to spread news about them easily. “You're done with him. He didn't deserve you anyway.” Khloe chided herself. “You're better than him and you'll prove it,” she said determinedly. She got out of bed and got dressed, ready to head for the office. Her stomach let out a loud growl, indicating she was hungry. “I can't go to work on an empty stomach. Just a little breakfast would do.” She descended the stairs only to find Kelly and Arthur discussing. “Oh there you are,” Kelly said, ackno

    Arthur's face became very pale as he stared at the woman coming close to him. Although she was totally oblivious of him, he still had a shocked expression laced on his face. “Kelly?” Arthur whispered unbelievably. The lady with red hair styled in a really amazing and unique way scanned the place as if she was searching for something until her eyes darted at Arthur. Her face curled up in a cute smile as she had long craved to be in the same space with Arthur. “Arthur,” Kelly said in a melodic tone, waving her hands to him and walking up to him. Kelly drew closer and hugged Arthur. His embrace really felt like home for she kept her arms wrapped around him, caressing the back of his hand. She couldn't help but sniff onto his clothing. "Wow, you still wear that cologne...it really suits you," Kelly commented, as her pulled away from their long embrace. “What are you doing here?” Arthur asked. “What? Can't I come and see you?” Kelly sat beside him and Sam adjusted himself to giv

    “I don't know what you're talking about,” Khloe said, yanking her hands away from Hannah's hold. “You better behave yourself. I'll say this one last time. Hand over to me what Foster gave you or else you'll face the consequences” Hannah threatened. “Even if I have it, why should I give it to you? The last time I checked, you wanted his inheritance just for your selfish needs and desires.” Khloe Ferguson said fiercely. Hannah's blood boiled from where she sat. She was pissed by Khloe's attitude but she knew better not to cause a scene. “I'll let you off for now. Just know I'll keep watching you, Khloe Ferguson,” she warned getting up. “Psft.. who does she think she is?” Khloe said. She watched Hannah storm out of the restaurant, her heart racing from the encounter. “She's this close to finding out my secret” she blew air and sighed. She still couldn't believe the audacity Hannah had, threatening her like that. But Khloe knew she wouldn't back down, not now that she has a hin

    Khloe Ferguson staggered as she tried to attain composure. Her vision is so blurry and she's not in her right senses. Arthur stood confused as to what she is doing without further caution, she leaned forward and cupped his face in her thumb. Pressing his cheeks with her index finger and thumb, forcing him to open his mouth as she faced him and pressed her lips onto his mouth…and, suddenly she stuck her tongue inside. Arthur was taken aback by her sudden action. He stood watching as she kept kissing his lips, her mouth tasted of liquor and her red lipstick were staining his lips. She pulled away to get air into her lungs and wanted to continue but Arthur stopped her. “Khloe stop this,” he demanded, holding her shoulders. “Do you not like me?” She asked, pouting her lips. Arthur's face contorted in disgust. Then he let his impulsive thoughts take over and slapped her hard. “You're drunk Khloe. Come let me take you in,” he said. Slapping her didn't bring her senses back. He

    Khloe Ferguson was still panicking when the car’s ignition turned on and the car roared to life. She still couldn't wrap her head around what happened nor remember anything that happened last night. “Don't think about it too much.You were pretty drunk,” Arthur said. “How can he be so calm after that?” She thought to herself. Maybe, it's actually,nothing.” “I'm not going to work today….” Khloe suddenly announced. “I'm going to visit someone at the cemetery. Take me to Mount Calvary Cemetery,” she ordered. Arthur raised his eyebrows, his head was running with all kinds of thoughts as to why she wanted to visit the cemetery all of a sudden. “Is one of her loved ones dead?” He reasoned. With no further questions, he manoeuvres the car to another direction, changing his GPS location. As they drove to Mount Calvary Cemetery, Khloe's mind kept racing with thoughts of the previous night. She still couldn't shake off that nagging feeling that something was off. She recalled how she felt

    Khloe Ferguson got into the car, her eyes avoiding Arthur's gaze. His presence brought her a sense of peace and comfort and she couldn't explain why, and neither could she deny it. The drive to the cemetery was silent, but as they drove away from it, Arthur cleared his throat and spoke. “This may sound personal but can I ask you something?” Her eyes guarded as she turned to him. “Sure. What is it?” “I'm not trying to intervene into your personal life and it might sound strange but.. are you in sort of trouble or perhaps, danger?” Arthur asked. Her heart rate increased, she doesn't know why but… “no it's fine. I'm perfectly fine. Why would you think I'm in trouble?” she said, trying to brush it off. “Well. You weren't being too quiet about it. I overheard you say something and what I could make out of it was that you were in some trouble… I don't want to get the wrong idea,” Arthur said. “Drive home. I can't go to work,” Khloe said to him and he nodded. Khloe leaned backwards

    Lucas and Emily Ferguson walked into the building, their luggages in their hands. They had taken a two weeks break, say vacation. “I'm exhausted, a little bath will sooth me” Emily said as she turned the knob. They stepped in to see Khloe curled up on the floor sobbing. “Khloe?” Lucas called her name and she raised her head. Her face was pale and the dry tears were evidence. “Dad?... I don't know how and when I fell asleep” she said, trying to get up. “Why are you crying? Is something wrong?” Emily said in a very sweet voice. Khloe felt disgusted by the sound of Emily's voice and was about to get up and leave. “Khloe what's going on?” His voice, sweet but gentle. “You're crying and shaking, did something happen while we were away?” Lucas asked. “No. Nothing happened. I didn't know you guys would come back this early,” she said. “I did inform you,” Lucas pointed out. “Yes, you did. Excuse me, I'll be in my room” she said dragging her feet but stopped on her tracks when Luca

    Khloe Ferguson rolled out of the bed and sneezed. “Is someone talking about me?” She asked rhetorically. She got up and checked her phone. "Ah, 12:47 AM! No wonder I'm so tired," Khloe thought, rubbing her eyes as she got up to use the restroom. She had cried herself to sleep and was up way too late, lost in thoughts and worries. The sneeze had startled her, making her realise how late it was. She yawned and stretched, deciding it was finally time to get some snacks as she hadn't eaten. She walked out of her room and to the grave night snack. On her way to the kitchen, she heard mumbling sounds from Kelly's room and wondered why she was up. She pressed her ears against her door to hear what she was crying too. The sibs grew louder and Khloe decided to open the door, revealing Kelly crying on the phone. “Kelly? What's wrong?” Khloe asked, concerned about her tone. She walked closer to her crippled elder sister and sat beside her on the bed. “I.. Matt broke up with me,” she said, s

    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.

    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.
