The Substitute Bride Office Enemy IV
Chloe looked up to see the lady Daryn mentioned a while ago as Trisha, with one other lady beside her who was holding several folders in her left arm. Chloe wondered what brought them to her office." Who do we have here ? Well if it isn't the murderer" Trisha said, oh so suavely and tilted her head to the side , Chloe forced a smile, straightening her back against the swirl chair she clasped her hand together to have a full view of what she tagged the ' office witch ' if she had to be honest she must admit Trisha was quite a beautiful lady , oval face , brown eyes, straight nose and thin lips that she coated with heavy red lipstick. Not too curvy but average , with thin legs . But her beauty added to her bitchinessAfter assessing her she glanced over to her accomplice who she noticed was nervous maybe she was recruited too . She has short black hair that she made into a ponytail with a band . Red palazzo pants and white long sleeve shirt and a pair of back shoes. For what seemed

Chloe accepted Darlyn's offer to buy lunch for her after his blunt refusal to take 'No' for an answer . She didn't know how to refuse him anymore after he said that's his only way to apologize for the department cold welcome earlier. Now seated in the cafe she scouted earlier from the view of Liam's office, she chose the table closest to the counter facing the entrance of the cafe to have a full view of the cafe despite knowing she could only see people that are downstairs with her. " So how did you end up here ? I mean at the Reigns Corporation" Darlyn asked, giving her a skeptical look, speaking for the first time since they arrived at the cafe.Chloe nearly choked on her coffee when she heard him , her heartbeat accelerated, out of all the questions she was hoping he would ask her , he didn't choose any . Rather he threw her the one question she didn't see coming and didn't prepare any possible answer to. Suddenly having the feeling of deja vu , she sipped her coffee while d

After Liam returned to his office from the cafe that Gwen basically dragged her to, claiming he owed her a date . He however ended the date before time, because his mind and soul was no longer in the cafe with Gwen after what he saw . Despite the latter's attempt to spice up things between them by throwing herself at him . At first he didn't understand why she booked the whole first floor, but now he understood why . His mind drifted to the conversation they had at the cafe during the day. " Do you hate me, Liam? " Gwen asked him , blinking at him . Giving him a pitiful look with her smoldering eyes, her voice interrupting his train of thought." No " he deadpanned, giving her a subtle reply. A pang of quick relief washed through her , she closed the distance between them holding his gaze with that same look on her face . " You claim not to hate me, but you always distance yourself from me " she pouted and continued when he didn't reply to her." I'm sorry if you're still upset w

Chloe tossed and turned in her bed that night.The scene at the cafe replayed itself in her mind. She thought of the way Liam totally ignored her existence, and the way that ugly vixen snaked her arm round Liam's own. She had a deep impression of Liam despite the few encounters they shared.He was ruthless, cruel and incorrigibly heartless .The iota of feeling she thought she had for him disappeared the very moment he totally ignored her existence at the cafe . What was she even doing, listening to her imagination that Liam could change for the better.'Tsk , I wish'. She scoffed and turned her head to the window she had left open earlier . Minding the burn on her wrist .The moon was in full capacity, bringing with it a cold wind that she needed to soothe her raging nerves. She climbed down from the bed , putting on her fluffy bedroom slippers that were laying at the foot of the bed. She walked to the balcony to have a few view of the moon, the cold breeze bathed her skin le

Liam returned to his house later that night and the living room was engulfed in pin drop silence. His footsteps echoed in the hallway of the first floor .His eyes flitted to Chloe's bedroom. He noticed the lights in her room were off which means she was sound asleep. Blaze suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaning on the wall of the hallway he followed Liam's line of sight . Immediately he knows what's going on in his mind ." She's asleep, if that's what you are wondering about "Liam turned to see the invader of his thought." And what makes you think I was thinking about her " Liam snapped and shot a glare at him." Who are you kidding Liam, it's written all over your voice . You do care for her " Blaze uttered blatantly, he couldn't stand by and watch this blindly anymore." And who made you the judge of that ? Liam demanded, his tone indifferent" You're only stalling the inevitable"" What are you still doing in my house? Last I checked you have your own villa in this city "

Several thoughts spiraled Chloe's mind . She knew who paid for it, because it was him that assigned the designated driver to her. ' Darlyn ' She mumbled, and slipped the notes back inside her purse and tossed it inside her bag. She was still trying to process the whole thing when a car honked at her , smiling awkwardly at the driver she couldn't see . She waved apologetically and made her way inside. Stepping inside she saw Trisha who was talking to the receptionist on the counter with her back facing her . Chloe, who was in no mood for her troubles, walked past her as quietly as she could. Her face is the last thing she wants to see right now .' Who knows what the She-devil is up to this time around ' she hissed and made for the elevator." Chloe ! "Chloe halted in her steps, with a frown etched on her face . Because whoever that it was calling her was possibly attracting the witch to her. Speaking of the She-devil , she turned to catch sight of Chloe close to the elevator an

Liam kicked the tyre of his car in fury." His ice park did wonders? That woman sure knows how to get on my goddamn nerves "" You're getting worked up for nothing Liam . He was just checking on her like the way a fellow employee would do " Fred teased, stifling the laugh that was desperately trying to burst out.Liam shot him a glare , with his left hand on his hip he pointed toward his company that he just exited from." You call that public display of affection, checking on her ?" Liam scowled at his cheap analysis." Ok. Now tell me what you intend to do about it. "" You want her crawling and begging for your attention which you've denied her ? Liam I must confess you've got the wrong woman. Because it seems to me like she did not give a damn about your existence anymore "Liam's expressions turned ugly at his words." Don't make a bitter woman out of a rare gem " Fred said , and shut the door of the car , waiting for Liam to come in and start the ignition. Liam's mind cringed

I checked the time with my phone again for what seems to be the fifth time." Sir Liam will soon be back. Clara said as she handed me a glass of juice to calm my anxiety. " Atimes he comes back after midnight , some fortunate days after dinner time . But the time is still young I suggest you relax a little by watching a movie " I smiled at her kind gestures . I didn't know what I did in my past life to deserve a kind maid like her .Normally any other maid can choose to ignore me , treat me like trash or worse after they found out how Liam treats me . But she … she's not like that or perhaps she's masking her real self with those innocent-like characters of hers.Nevertheless she is kind for now.So saying she handed me the remote to choose any channel of my choice. After Fred dropped me at the Reigns mansion, I began to think of the possibility of Liam changing towards me. First he didn't punish me after I breached the contract of not stepping out of the house without his permis

The Substitute Bride Rose's Fury II
Rose stood still , arms crossed and face devoid of any emotion. She was surprised at the act unfolding before her . Gwen sure knows how to play the victim and she wasn't expecting any less from her this time around . Rose's mind raced as she anticipated Marcello's reaction , he had never trusted her so it is useless to explain. It's not like she cared anyways.With Gwen's fabricated story it was certain he’d side with her. Not like she has high expectations of him. Marcello frowned in disbelief as he looked back at Rose. He had been noticing the sudden change in her behaviour. He could still hear the crisp sound of the slap she gave him the day before when he gave her the script he intended for her to memorise for the interview.He wasn't expecting those tiny fingers to have much impact.She even had the guts to tore the papers, rejecting it out rightly. But he had his ways to make her concede . He didn't come all this way to watch her

“ Really ? “ It was Liam's turn to be bewildered and his tone says it all.Blaze merely let out a laugh , for Liam to scoff with a roll of his eyes ,to the surprise of Blaze.Things are starting off well for him and this is the sign of it.Blaze smiled , inwardly praising himself for being able to lighten up the mood .Drawing his attention back to the glass he held , shaking his hands slowly he watched as the liquid danced like it’s experiencing a storm, a complete picture of how he's feeling inside .Bringing the glass to his mouth he gulped the whole liquid ,the burning feeling from his tongue down to his throat and into his stomach , giving him a satisfying feeling.And that's just what he needed at the moment .“ You know I thought I was doing the right thing keeping my real identity from Chloe .

Chloe's words kept ringing in Blaze’s mind like a recording , making him restless.coupled with the recent happenings he couldn't help but see sense in what she said.Truly , Rose’s disappearance wasn't just any minor case but had strings attached to it; her reappearance barely a month when Chloe returned proves it all. As much as he hates to admit that Chloe was right when she said everything points down to that night.The night the Luke’s clan was almost wiped out .‘ If the three powerful clans were gathered together that night then who's likely to be the one that attacked ? ‘ thought Blaze, rubbing his chin absentmindedly. He didn't know much about Liam's family’s past. For all he could tell Liam's mother got married to their father when he was still in high school . And he didn't get to know much about Liam because he never got to see him whenever there’s a family dinner.Typical Liam.When enquired about him by Blaze's father , Liam's mum will wave it away saying he's busy
