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
The rest of their conversation passed by in a blur , with Chloe not able to register most of the things the handsome weird stranger said to her. But three things were able to register perfectly in her mind . One was the threat , the second was the instructions and the third she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud,the mere thought of it felt like a suicide mission to her. After putting her through the misery of doing the unspeakable he still has the nerve to smile all through the conversation, despite his smiles the threat in his tone was evident.' How am I supposed to kill tabs on Liam Reigns!' , this is absurd ,he will kill me if he ever finds out about this ' gosh !. ' Help me Lord ! , have I not been punished enough ! Getting married to that man alone is a huge punishment, spying on him is digging my grave. His grudge towards me is yet to be pacified , he despises me a lot and am I going to do this ? ' 'My brother's life is at stake if I don't do what he asks , what
Liam's eyes were fixed on his computer, he had watched the CCTV footage three times yet he couldn't understand the real reason behind Rivero approaching Chloe. For some odd reason they didn't tamper with the cameras in the restaurant. 'which means they wanted me to see this. But why ? '. What are you up to this time Rivero ' he turned his swirl chair, lit a cigarette, inhaled and puffed the smoke in the air . His hands found its way to the monitor again and he played the footage once more , this time he watched with a keen interest. At the beginning of the video the voices in the background could be heard loud and clear, he said and heard Chloe's protest when he sat on the chair she reserved for her friend , a chuckle escaped his lips he found himself chuckling at her willfulness . He saw her as a kitty that wants to claw her offender. After Klaus introduced himself to her he noticed something unusual the rest of their conversation was hazy , almost like a whisper . It occurr
Still absentminded she didn't notice when the cab she boarded arrived at the Reigns estate and pulled to a stop in front of the mansion. Her mind is still dwelling on the day's events . The driver's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. " We're here ma'am " The driver said, and watched her forlorn look through the rear view mirror, wondering what she was thinking that made her seem oblivious to her surroundings. Chloe gathered her thoughts together, thanked the driver and stepped out of the cab . She exhaled deeply and made her way towards the huge teakwood door , She reached out to place her palm on the palm scanner placed on the wall for identification purposes but stopped midway when she remembered that she was yet to install her palm print in the palm scanner so as to be identified as a resident in the Reigns Mansion. She hissed muse at her ill luck , fortunately for her the door opened and revealed Clara's silhouette smiling at her. " Welcome ma'am " she said and steppe
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

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

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.

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
