The Stranger He Became Chapter 99
He hadn't been expecting any of such calls...except for... "Chloe!" he quickly swiped up and adjusted a bit closer to the light of the bedside lamp.The appearance of her face knocked the sleep right out of his eyes. "Chloe," he called out her name with his deep morning voice, "It's almost three in the morning.""Well, the day has just begun here, and it's wonderful," she said, looking bright and happy in her morning clothes— clothes that he longed to take off and explore the wonders that lay beneath them. For some reason, he found her very appealing in morning clothes."I can see that from here, the sun is doing one heck of a job, reflecting your beauty. I wish I could've been there with you." Max said, quite regrettably, now he was stuck with nightmare fantasies of Debby which wouldn't stop coming at him until he had performed them in real time."Please, stop it, Max," Chloe said, giggling delightfully. She was still swept off her feet by Max, even at that stage of their relationshi

"Just calm down a bit..." Gray said to Chloe from the other end of the line. "The worst thing you can do right now is to panic. Just calm down and tell me what it is.""Alright," Chloe said, breathing out a sigh that did very little to calm her down. "I will send you a short voice message shortly. You won't believe..." She still couldn't believe what her ears had heard. Her heart was almost failing her at that point.She quickly hung up and frantically went ahead to forward the voice message from Alejandro to him immediately. With nothing but sheer fright and uncertainty, she had her eyes on her screen till the message was marked as read.Her phone buzzed in her hands so suddenly that she nearly let go of it. But then, it wasn't Gray on the line. "Goodness... Max," she said as she contemplated picking up the call in the state that she was in at the moment. If she didn't pick, she would be giving him the notion that she was hiding something from him, and that would make him all the mor

Ollie couldn't stay put, as the thought of phoning Hilda kept crawling back again and again. Her vague feelings for Anthony were growing into a clear fondness that she couldn't deny.Anthony had briefly gone to the restroom, leaving her all alone with her thoughts.

But she was beginning to feel an attachment she deemed too dangerous to be true.She took out her phone and was still contemplating sending a text. Her second thoughts about it throbbed at her continually, but the thought of Helen's scowl at her made her desperate to reach out. But why would Hilda just offer to be of help? A question she'd never get to find out if she didn't get to her.Ollie let out a disheartened sigh. She was supposed to be enjoying the moment with Anthony without having to bother about his questionable family life. But could she?"Get it together, Ollie,"

"Senorita..." Diego's voice irritated her in no small way. What devilish thoughts did he plan to execute on her at the moment? It felt like she had seen a reincarnation of the dreaded Alejandro in a younger and more vibrant body.Sofia was stifled by fright, and suppressed by tiredness. She was too tired to ask what he wanted with her. Each step he took to the cell made her heart throb frightfully. She wished to seek to shift further away from him but found herself up against a wall she wished that she could pass through."There's no reason to be afraid, senorita." Diego teased with a smile on his face. "I mean no harm."She couldn't bank on those words. She couldn't bank on anything that had to do with Alejandro. She was willing to take any chances with the man before her.Diego stood, right in front of the cell's door, his figure seemed huge and frightfully intimidating, from her perspective, squatting on the cold floor. He put his hands on the bars of the cell's door."I've come to

"Yesterday's victory had been clinched," Max said, lying on his bed, in a video call with Chloe, "Wished we could be celebrating it together." He still cringed within, as he still withheld the collaboration with Kylian from her. He wasn't sure how long he could keep up with the lie, but he didn't know how she would feel upon hearing about it. The longer it tarried, the more tense it got, as the effect of the consequences amplified."Yeah...me too," Chloe said, from her end. She was taking a walk in the afternoon, through a dazzling scenery, at a park. She seemed to be escorted by a guide through the new grounds she found herself on."You know," Max said, sitting up in bed, "the sunlight just happens to make you prettier than you are, Chloe.""Don't you have anything better to do?" she teased as she continued walking."Luckily for me, the weekend is already here, I can watch your face all I want." Max grinned excitedly, as the early morning sun rays crept in through his window, signali

Gray was cruising through the less busy streets. There was traffic but not as much as it would be on a working day, and that gave him the ease of navigating his way through the paths just as he had watched in the footage.He had begun his drive from the airport in the early hours of the morning, just to be sure that he didn't make any mistakes. His drive for perfection and accuracy had never been up like it was at the moment.He was on the verge of cracking it, but also on the verge of entering the part of the case that could possibly involve serious, physical risk. He needed not to be told to bring his firearm along. If his projections had been accurate, he was very liable to run into some sort of threats, which had to be resisted by force.Thoughts of the risky side of what he was about to do kept coming at him, but he paid them no mind. He had made up his mind to avoid physical confrontation as much as possible and only make a killing when it would be necessary. His main job was ju

Sofia was still in doubt about what Diego's intentions were for him. Why was he suddenly nice to her? She had been too weary to question his initial kindness of letting her go and even feeding her, and giving her a place to sleep after all those nights on the hard cold floor of the cell where Alejandro had left her to languish.She was still on her bed, feeling sleepy. It was difficult for her to have any sort of rest, considering the circumstances of her release. She had feared that Diego could sneak into her room at any point in the night and probably take advantage of her in her tired state...but he didn't after all her hours of waiting. Now she was exhausted in the early morning hours.Sitting up in her bed, she wondered how long Diego was going to keep up with setting her free. Was he going to violate Alejandro's orders to keep her in captivity? Was her freedom going to be a short-lived experience of what could have been? She decided to take it all as it came. Her spirit had been
