The airport was bustling with noises of people checking in at the terminal , Chloe parked her car and waited at the entrance of the airport for Liam's brother's arrival.
A group of fangirls rushed past her, almost knocking her down with their numbers,whispering and giggling to themselves. Dusting herself , Chloe couldn't help but remember when she was still an actress how her fans come out in their numbers to welcome her whenever she comes back after shooting a movie outside the country, now those days are gone . She couldn't help but wonder when she would reclaim her lost glory." Sigh! Who knows the celebrity that came back to the country to attract this large number of fans, especially girls. Maybe the celebrity is a male , but who might it be ? ". Chloe wondered , shaking the thought out of her head she concentrated on the reason that brought her to the airport in the first place. Chloe saw two high school girls with a cardboard sign that says ' Welcome home Blaze Reigns " , Chloe was taken aback a bit and she smacked her forehead. ' stupid Chloe, you didn't even know the name of person you are going to pick up '. Thanks heavens, the fan girls made it easy for me.Come to think of it, is Liam's brother a celebrity?, it dawned on her when she realized he was the award winning male actor in London. But Rose didn't mention that her fiance's brother is a celebrity and a famous one at that. She asked herself, leaning on the booth of the car her best-friend lent her, facing the entrance of the airport with one hand under her chin and the other hand resting on her hips in thought. The noise of fan girls and the shutters of cameras brought her back to earth, she realized he was almost at the entrance, she accessed herself once again and made to introduce herself to him..... Blaze Reigns, an award winning actor , and boyfriend to almost all the city's girls, dressed in a casual wear of a shirt with his name and face embedded on it and over a jogger pants and a white sneakers, dragging his box behind. Was used to fans gushing at him , he flashed them his million dollar smiles and waved at them, his phone buzzing signaling an incoming call from Richard, his brother's secretary. " Yo, Richie , nice hearing from you again""Nice hearing from you too, a pickup is waiting for you outside the airport"." You mean Liam sent someone to pick me up, after ignoring me for some years now?So now he recognizes his only brother?."" Yes"" Woah, that's nice of him" Blaze chuckled and hastened his footsteps, he was jetlagged for traveling on a plane for six hours.His joy of going home was short-lived when his fans circled around him to sign autographs for them. 'Now that's the disadvantage of being a celebrity,' he muttered silently to himself. Regretting why he didn't bring his managers with him to fend off these crazy fangirls. Chloe was awe stricken for a minute after sighting the silhouette of Blaze Reigns, she couldn't help but marvel at the walking sin of a man.Damn!He's a handsome guy with dimples and a beautiful body, but she prefers his brother's physique to his. Compared to Blaze , Liam had a broad shoulder and abs, but she can't say the same for Blaze. She noticed the distressed look on his face , she has seen that face many times whenever she's tired after a long flight and her body is craving to go home and have a nice shower ,eat and sleep, but she has to please her fans by signing an autograph for few of them and her manager will fend off the rest.But in his case it seems like he didn't arrive with his manager, and if help doesn't come to him sooner, he might collapse out of stress and that won't be good.An idea struck in her mind , thank goodness she's dressed up nicely in case of an emergency paparazzi, straightening her body hug gown she adjusted her curly chocolate brown hair to hang loosely on her shoulder , and made to help him out of his misery.Blaze Reigns was still signing autographs with a fake smile plastering on his lips, as much as he wants to rebuke the fan girls he has to keep up with the facade to save face and maintain his place in the eyes of the media as the city girl's heartthrob.He was always on the verge of losing his cool when he noticed a gorgeous lady making her way towards him with measured steps,her long hair dancing in the wind and her dark shades covering her eyes that he presumed would be as beautiful as her." Wait a minute I recognize that face from somewhere" Blaze muttered to himself shaking his head a bit .Chloe walked through the crowd with her dark shade on concealing her face from the crowd, fortunately for her the crowd gave way for her to work through, " maybe my aura of fame is still intact " she thought. After her successful breakthrough she came to stand beside Blaze who was obviously staring daggers at her but she turned a blind eye to it." Hello, am Joanna Gaines, Blaze manager and han
Chloe's face blanched white when four men stepped out from each of the cars, making them eight in number. She hid behind Blaze's back . For the eight men to circle them" Long time no see Blaze Reigns," came the one with a husky voice whose cheeks had a large scary scar that trailed from from his left eye down to his lips,from his voice one can tell easily he's the leader of the gang." How long has it been, two days? It seems you guys miss me a lot to be chasing me round the whole world, scorpion " Blaze replied nonchalantly , his face squeezed with a frown when he felt someone pulling his skin so rough as if she wants to separate his skin from his body Chloe's face turned darker when she heard Blaze's sarcastic comments, she couldn't help but pinch him really hard on his arms while hiding behind his back . As if to remind him they were outnumbered and it's not the right time to be cracking jokes. Scorpion chuckled lightly " we can't help it Blaze,we have our orders to bring you in
Back at the Reigns mansion, Chloe who was still standing after apologizing to Liam for endangering his brother's life rubbed her foot against the other . it's been thirty minutes after she tendered her apologies but Liam is yet to give her a reply and her legs are beginning to ache her badly. After much contemplating she decided to apologize further, maybe her earlier apologies weren't accepted. " Mr Liam , I'm deeply sorry for endangering your brothers life , I will be more careful in the future"Chloe said and bowed her head to show how sorry she was." There won't be—" Liam trailed off when her phone rang . Grin ! Grin!! Grin !!! Chloe fished out her phone from her pocket and answered the call." Hello "" Hello, am I speaking with Chloe Adams ?"" Yes '" There's a man at our bar with the name Chester Adams he is owning us $ 470,000 he told us to call you to clear up his debt "" 470,000 what ? " Where do I get the money from, as a matter of fact I don't have it" she replied hon
Chloe was excited when she heard the manager of the imperial club tell 'her you are hired' she couldn't believe her ears , she thanked the manager profusely and walked out with one of the waitresses that was supposed to show her around and brief her on her duties." I still can't believe they will hire someone at such short notice, I must say you're a lucky one" Anita said to Chloe." What can I say I am indeed lucky " Chloe replied knowing deep down that Daisy's brother Harry put in a good word for her." Let's go to the changing room ,so you can change into your uniform for the day " she said and led the way to the changing room for Chloe to follow suit. Displeasure showed visibly on Chloe's face when she saw the waitress uniform she was going to wear , she didn't hesitate to voice it out ." What in the heavens name is this ? " " What ?" Anita asked confused " This cloth is too revealing for me to wear am supposed to be a waitress not a stripper" " Oh the cloth?You know this is
In the vvip room 1 of imperial clubFred Meyer, with his leg crossed and a lighted cigarette in hand with dense smoke emitting from the cigarette, opposite him, also sat Liam Reigns of the Reigns conglomerate and his leg crossed over the other . For some days now, since the news of Rose's death Liam has been busy looking for clues to prove that Rose is still alive but all his hopes crashed when they found Rose's favorite Gold necklace in the crash . For the first time in his life Liam felt inferior because he couldn't fulfill the promise he made to a dying woman on her sick bed to marry and take care of his daughter. " Loosen up man , you've avenged Rose by trapping her killer in a loveless marriage" Fred chided his friend whose face was unreadable at the moment.Chloe walked into the room and announced her presence with smiles " your wine is here sir " " Look your wine is here cheer up " Chloe's smile faltered suddenly when her eyes fell on Liam whose eye's were closed
Chloe stirred in her sleep when she felt the morning sun shone on her face. She frowned in her sleep and turned, covering herself with the duvet . The large velvet curtains were pulled open again , and the morning sun streamed in full capacity . But she still didn't want to wake up . The confused maid scratched her hair awkwardly. She had thought Chloe would wake up after she pulled the curtains but she didn't. It occurred to her that her madam was really tired . She didn't know how else to wake her up without incurring her wrath thereby losing her job. On one hand she had to carry out Sir Liam's orders and on the other hand she didn't want to interrupt Madam's sleep.***** I stood at the altar with smiles,my dreams finally coming true , Liam was smiling at me as he said his vows , His eyes harbored so much love and warmth . I turned and saw my family and friends. Their faces were full of smiles. Rose stood beside me as my bridesmaid. In the front row of the hall sat my mother and
At the other side of the city , in a huge mansion , two pairs of well polished leather shoes walked in the beautifully lit hallway . After a few more steps,the two pairs of shoes arrived at a double mahogany teakwood door. Magnificent texts were engraved with bright gold letters into the wood, along with spread out patterns which adorned the door. After a few knocks the two pairs walked inside the room. A figure was seen standing at the window , two of his hands rested on the window sill , the moonlight shone in the dark night his mohawk hair danced with the wind . His broad shoulder blocking the moonlight from gaining access into the dark room and bathing it with its bright beautiful light.The shirt he was putting on made from Italian fabric did not do any justice to his well toned muscles. Sensing a presence in the room Rivero turned to see his right hand man Klaus , clad in a dark blue tuxedo, a black tie , two shiny pair of black leather shoes to match, on his right wrist wa
Chloe couldn't get her eyes of the couples,the lady in a yellow pattern shirt tucked in a dark brown skirt , her brunette wavy hair cascading down her shoulder ,she had a beautiful green eyes,and thin lip. Chloe for a moment envied her beauty , the man in a navy blue shirt with a black tie and a black pant to match his outfit knelt down on one knee holding a gold ring in his hands . Chloe understand what was going to happen next , she imagined herself as the one been proposed to . She read the man's lips as he opened his mouth " Will you marry me " still in her imagination Chloe covered her mouth with her hands and mouthed a whisper " yes " and nodded her head in affirmation like she was the one being proposed to." Cute aren't they " Came the waitress voice that brought her out of her imaginery world , her face flushed pink when she saw the waitress, she didn't even notice her coming to her table .' Chloe your acting skills really sucks' she reprimanded herself." Y-yes they ar
Ever since the disappearance of Rose, Chloe always pictured the day they will meet again because she has a strong feeling Rose was still alive .Seeing Rose now , she couldn't express the emotion she was feeling. Because the person standing before her wasn't her best friend. Her eyes were empty , they housed no emotions . Like someone who has thrown away all the will to live .She's been hearing about Rose's return but seeing her up close was a different issue altogether.Chloe felt panicked and scared not for herself but for the fact that Rose is no longer who she used to be. She tightly clenched her fist. She was willing to pay any price for her best friend to be back .Rose can choose to slander over and over again if she feels like it and she won't budge if that will make her better . Even if it means giving up her acting career , she owes Rose that much.Seeing Rose with Gwen sends her the wrong message , making her believe that something was definitely off. The red warning sign
Daisy couldn't go with Chloe to the shooting site because of the nature of her job . She was reluctant to part ways with Chloe because of the pandemonium going on , but Chloe reassured her everything would be fine . Daisy left knowing fully well Liam wouldn't sit back and watch harm befell her. She was in a meeting that very afternoon and couldn't tell what's happening outside. After the meeting during the break she got wind of Rose's return, and tried to confirm from Chloe but it couldn't connect the same with her manager's. After much consideration and deliberation she tried to contact Liam , who picked up on the first ring. How he knew she was the one calling was a mystery to her , " Come to Imperial hospital your friend is there. " Came his cold and blunt reply , Daisy didn't wait to dwell on his cold and aloof manners and boarded the next available taxi. She arrived at the hospital and inquired about it , she couldn't get to ask Liam the ward Chloe was in before he ended the

Chloe's arrival at the shooting site caused a sensation, with Liam's two bodyguards in her front and back , Hilda was beside her , Chloe felt like she's ready to face whatever that comes her way. But the moment she saw the pack of reporters waiting for her through the window, she suddenly developed cold feet anxiety creeping up within her . ' Today's is gonna be a long day ' Chloe thought with a sigh Seeing her car drive into the premises the press immediately circled the car throwing one question after the other.Reporter 1: " Miss Chloe what do you have to say about the return of super star Rose. Do you think your position as an award winning actress is threatened? "" Reporter 2 : What do you think made Miss Rose return and how do you feel about it ? "Reporter 3 : " Miss Chloe it's said you and Miss Rose were the best of friends, what happened to your relationship." The questions kept coming but Chloe didn't budge nor did she care to make a statement.She promised Liam not to
Exactly thirty minutes ago Chloe, who was fast asleep, stirred in her sleep . The commotion downstairs couldn't subside no matter how she turned and tossed in bed using the pillows to block her ears .But the noise kept finding its way into her ears , unfortunately for her , the balcony door was left open and one could see what's happening outside from there . She didn't understand the reason the whole villa was swarming with reporters and non reporters , neither could she make out what they were saying from there.Amidst all the incoherent things they were saying she could only make out one thing.Rose's name .The crowd kept mentioning Rose's name demanding her to come out and give them an explanation regarding Rose's disappearance.At first she thought she was still sleeping but then again she wasn't when she pinched herself and realized such. What is going on ? Why are these people here this early ? Why do they keep mentioning Rose's name ? Why ? These questions kept bugging her

At exactly 9.pm a private jet landed at the airport tarmac, dropping of three people which among them is a female clad in a joggers pant and sweat shirt that has a hoodie covering her seaweed hair , her feet were encased in a white comfortable sneaker that made less noise as she walked. Two luxurious sleek cars were already waiting for them with the doors open , the woman's melancholic violet eyes stared into the night sky as she felt the wind pass through her .letting down the hood of the shirt the night chilly breeze kissed her face as if welcoming her back to the society .Is this what freedom feels and tastes like? after spending a few years in a house in the outskirts of the town far away from civilization, family and friends.She is finally free to come back home ! But not entirely free , being set free with terms and conditions is not freedom at all .And if it means coming to terms with their agreement means getting her full freedom , then she's definitely getting it even if
I know this might sound odd to you but that's not all , I accosted her about it , half expecting her to deny it . But then , she didn't!.. she didn't rebuff my claim she rather asked me to back it up with evidence.Look, I know I'm asking for too much , it's just that I want to restore my tainted image and Gwen is the key to that. " Chloe's words were very clear and decisive, showing no signs of reluctance rather she seemed eager to do it and be over with " I have the same hunch too , still can't can't wrap my finger around the fact that she has something on Liam.I wouldn't say he was threatened because Liam can't be threatened. Unless she has something that Liam desperately needed. " Blaze calmly said , his jade eyes twitching with curiosity which he is widely known for.His curiosity would have been quenched if Chloe's call didn't come in , He knew Liam is a man of a few words and it will take a measurable amount of time to get Liam to revisit this topic again .But before then h
"Tell me Liam don't you think it's time ?" " Yes , it is. Actually, Gwen had …. Ring ! Ring !! Ring !!!The sound of Blaze's phone halted Liam bringing an abrupt stop to his explanation,Blaze hissed and fished out the phone from his pocket, he actually intended to turn it off on the first glance but when he saw Chloe's name pop-up on the screen he knew he had to take it at all cost.Seeing Blaze hesitating whether to pick it or not , he knew immediately that whoever is calling him is not someone he could ignore even if he wanted to." You can take the call , it's not like we can't continue the conversation next time." Liam pointed out calmly, trying hard not to sound relieved of not having to blurt out what he intended to keep from him .Saving Blaze the dilemma of having to choose between him and the caller ." Are you sure Liam , I mean I can take the call later it's not that important you know " Blaze said , convincing himself otherwise. Tsk, Liam scoffed amusingly, throwin
