“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.

    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,

    “What happened to Kelly?” Khloe asked Arthur. Arthur paused his lips, staring at her while her eyes bored into him with a burning desire to know the truth. “Sylvester was behind it all,” he began, sighing and trying to think of a way to tell her the whole truth. “Sylvester?” She repeated, trying to remember. Sylvester…? The gay son who asked for her help - the way she remembered it. “I have remembered him. He asked me to help with his inheritance or something. I can't remember well. But what did he do exactly?” She asked. “Turns out he was working with someone who we were not sure of because at first, we thought of Emily and her kids, Mara and Wilson but the suspicion turned to one of the Fosters,” he said leaving out a lot of fillers. Khloe tried to comprehend what he was saying but somehow couldn't fathom any. “Emily had kids?” She asked surprised although the names rang a bell. “Yes…Your step siblings. Emily kept them hidden from your dad and decided to bring them out at

    Khloe rose up dramatically and announced, “I need to go back to Washington. I am going back to Washington right now.” “What?” Arthur was confused by the suggestion. “Where did you get that idea from? Didn't you hear, people are after you. You cannot go back there, at least not now,” he spilled it out but Khloe's mind was made up already. “I am going back. The company needs me, plus I need to see things for myself, I need to question Lucas,” she said. Arthur held her wrist, “You're still not listening to me Khloe.” She yanked her hands from him and said, “Give me a good reason as to why I shouldn't go back.” “First and foremost; you haven't fully recovered. You still have a lot going on in your mind, it's only safe if you lay low for the time being. That's the main reason as to why you shouldn't step foot out of this house,” he said, trying to reason with her. Khloe saw a point in all that Arthur had just said. Her memory was still blurry and she barely remembered anything. It

    “Your heart is beating really fast, Khloe,” Arthur purred, his voice vibrating in her chest, sending shivers to her. Tension built up between the two as Arthur's intimate feelings seemed to be louder than what he was just saying out loud. The attraction he had for Khloe was undeniable and uncontrollable at this moment. “Arthur, what are you doing?” Khloe voiced out with her heart racing more than ever. At this point, Khloe too sensed the growing intimacy and was scared of what might transpire if the moment isn't toned down. Arthur, however, ignored her and still placed his head on her chest area, his hands moving behind her making the butterflies in her belly flutter. He inhaled deeply and her scent clustered his nostrils. “You really have a nice fragrance. Your whole body smells so fresh and elegant that I can't help but wonder how you taste,” he commented to make Khloe blush. She couldn't tell if it's a genuine compliment or if he was flirting. “Um.. thanks?” She coyly said.

    The ear deafening scream came from Khloe's room to which Sam and Arthur reacted quickly by running over to her. Once they barged to her room, they found Khloe on her bed, with a flip flop in her hands. “Khloe, what is it?” Sam asked panting while Arthur walked in closer. “There's.. There's a roach there,” she stammered pointing to her bed. Sam’s face dropped and he creased his eyebrows. “You screamed so loud because of a cockroach?” He asked sarcastically. “I hate it. I was just trying to sleep when I felt something crawling on my leg. I then opened my sheets only to find that monster,” she said, irritatedly. Arthur touched the sheets and flipped them over. “Don't do that. What if it flies and bites me,” Khloe whined, tiptoeing. “Relax. Roaches are really harmless,” Arthur said. “You don't know that! That thing is a monster….” Khloe hadn't finished her last statement when the cockroach started flying all over the place and to make matters worse, it was headed towards her. K

    “I love your nightwear, ” Arthur whispered into Khloe's ear, his hot breath swiping into her ears causing a rise in all the hairs on her smooth body. Her complexion was so flawless that one couldn't help but stare endlessly for her natural skin tone was effortlessly glowing like the bright sunrise. “What am I thinking?” Khloe chided herself as she recalled what Arthur had said, a few hours before. She's lying on the bed beside Arthur who was deep into sleep. However she couldn't sleep because the thought of what Arthur said was still in her head. For the rest of the night, Khloe decided to put on a short nightgown, that was above her knee, showing off her thighs. This nightgown was pink in colour with a lace in the chest area, it was also a fitted one and seemingly attractive showing her cleavage and since she wasn't wearing any brazier, her boobs were really pointing out. “Ugh.. that pervert,” she said underneath her breath. Khloe was up for another thirty minutes before fallin

    “Brandon?” Khloe said as she saw Brandon walking up to them. She was so confused as she realised it was really him and that her mind wasn't making up any of it. She struggled to compose herself as she wore a puzzled smile. It looked as though both Katrina and Brandon were jogging too. Immediately Brandon laid eyes on Khloe, his smile broadened as the past memories with her flashed before him. “Khloe…. What are you doing here? I am sorry for not visiting you after all this while. I promised to come back eventually but failed. I was caught up with so many things in Germany that I couldn't just drop them all and travel back....” Brandon kept ranting as Khloe was silent. “Brandon, It's really okay. You don't have to explain yourself so much,” she said. “Do you know her?” Katrina turned to Brandon. “Yes. I came over to their house when her father invited me. He said he wanted his girl to get married as soon as possible and he felt like I was good enough for his daughter,” Brandon re

    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.
