She saw Liam standing at the center of the party . He was glaring at her with his ocean blue eyes. His gaze fixed on her arm hooked together with Fred .For some reason the latter wasn't surprised to see him.Chloe's jaw tightened as she inspected him silently. Many thoughts plagued her tiny brain ." What was he doing here ? 'Holding Liam's gaze she assessed his choice of dressing, he was putting on a black Italian suit that draped over his broad shoulders.Liam who was over six feet tall towered over Gwen . His aura was like the first time she met him during Rose's burial. Lethal with a touch of elegance.That wasn't something you would ignore. And the blunt beauty of his looks , it made Chloe's heart beat with so much fear and unreasonable attraction that made her mind dizzy .Her gaze traveled to the woman standing beside him, dressed in a shimmering red gown that had three steps with two slits in front .She looked goudy and her back faced them . She was talking with the older
" My, my, my , tsk . Look what the cat dragged in " Trisha snorted, and clicked her tongue in distaste as she circled Chloe.The latter didn't mind , neither did she acknowledge her presence . She only sipped her cocktail, her eyes trained on Liam who was been dragged around by Gwen . " Looks like you really lived up to your name by hooking up with a rich man to be able to afford this dress … " they remaining words got stuck in her throat when she recognized the signature of the dress . " Wait a minute, this….how can this be ? "" This dress is Bryan Walker's masterpiece that he unveiled on his IG this evening. He said there's only one in the world ! "" How did you come about this dress ? " Trisha reacted, surprise, anger and jealousy spread across her face . " Looks like our dear team leader can't afford last season's dress . Tsk , what a shame considering you're Gwen's cousin, I was thinking she would lend you her old dress "" You… "" But this … " Chloe clicked her tongue in d
Chloe ventured back into the hall where the party was being held, but she couldn't get in before two huge pairs of hands pulled her into the dark .' F*ck ! ' Chloe cursed' What's with all the grabbing tonight! 'Her eyes opened in the darkness but she couldn't see a thing .A cold shiver ran down her spine. She knew she was in the hotel building because she could hear the music from the party, but where was she exactly ?' Who pulled me in here ? 'She tried finding her way in the dark ,all her attempts were futile when she couldn't find anything in the dark .' F*ck , f*ck , f*ck, she cursed again and again when she could only feel the walls and nothing more.She understood the room was empty, But she couldn't find nor see who brought her in here .She could feel the creeps coming in as a result of the goosebumps on her skin. Odd feelings creeping into her mind made her feel uneasy . When she thought all hopes were lost and was ready to succumb to the darkness.. Click ! The lig
" What !"She breathed out instead , it felt as though she was being squeezed in a very small tight rubber tube that she even lost the energy to speak properly." Are you related in some way ?" Chloe smiled awkwardly at the absurdity he was spurting." No , you've mistaken me for someone else Mr Stefani " Chloe replied, not wanting to sound offensive.Mr Stefani's eyes narrowed at her as if to see if perhaps she was trying to hide something from him.But her pleasant smiles made it difficult for him to ascertain anything from her facial expression." I.. nevermind. " He looked behind her and saw his wife signaling him to come over ." Why don't you come inside? We are about to make a very important announcement," he said, pinching the skin between his brows , as if sensing a headache coming .Chloe raised a brow at him " Announcement? "" Yeah, I shouldn't be telling this now because it was supposed to be a general announcement. But considering you're an acquaintance of Mr Meyer… "
She has more on her plate than to think of a mere thunder.The tears that she has been holding all this while broke down the barrier holding them and rolled down her cheeks .The small drops of rain caressing her face made her hairs clung to her face Suddenly the small droplets of rain crashing on her face turned fiercer so much that her body hurt.As she looked around her everything appeared foggy and she could barely see a thing . As if on cue a car flashed its headlights at her blinding her from seeing the car or the driver.Chloe tilted her head to evade the lights , as the water droplets slid from between her long dark lashes gliding across her small face.The next thing she heard was a screech and she felt her body floating in the air. Every inch of her body shuddered and she struggled to move but what could she do in the air?Filled with a sense of helplessness and confusion, she let herself fall freely.Her body landed with a thud , colliding with the cold and watery tarred
" Arghhhh !!! "The sounds of items crashing and breaking was heard in Gwen's room.The maids were outside the door fidgeting , wondering who would go in first . They were sent upstairs to Gwen's room to find out what was going on by Gwen's mother because she had guests who were beginning to get uncomfortable thanks to Gwen's racket .With their hands on their head the three maids could barely stand at a place as they kept moving about in anxiety in front of Gwen's door . They knew it was another of Gwen's fits of rage. Gwen the princess of their family , thanks to the fact that she was a spoiled brat . Gwen never takes 'No' for an answer .She's a b*tch who thinks the world revolves around her and when she doesn't get what she wants, the girl begins an outburst.The maids like to call it 'episodes ' because they could swear the girl was losing it.Another crash was heard , and the maids knew immediately that all the electronic devices in her room had been dealt with. Even the flow
Chloe's eyes slowly opened to a bright white ceiling, the dazzling bright light blinded her and she closed her eyes almost immediately after she opened them.She opened them again, this time blinking at intervals for her eyes to slowly get acquainted with the light .Her wary weak eyes scrutinized the room she was kept in , She was lying on a hospital bed. The room could pass for a suite if she didn't see the medical equipment present in the room. Her head throbbed badly , she woke up with a splitting headache, the sound of the machine beeping added to it. Chloe instantly remembered her near death accident after she left Stefani's party.She touched her head , which was banging with a splitting headache . There was a plaster cast wrapped around her head . After she was hit by a reckless driver , she thought no one was going to come to her rescue. And she was going to die just like that, when she lost all hope he appeared.She has always known Liam to be a mean heartless jerk ,but t
Chloe decided to eat breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beautiful orchid , birds chirped on the trees as the morning breeze swept beautifully across them.On the heart glass table were assorted foods displayed on it and they all looked appetizing . The smell of toasted bread , black pudding and fried eggs wafted into her nostrils, her mouth watered and she gulped. It's been a long time since she had this kind of breakfast. Her stomach screamed in excitement on seeing the varieties she had to choose from.Clara sure outdid herself preparing all this for her, cause she knew the latter knew she wasn't happy eating the foods the doctor recommended she eat when she was still sick and still on medication. Ever since she woke up she was yet to see Liam. Blaze had filled her in on the excuse that he went on a business trip . But deep down she knew that wasn't the case, she had this feeling at the back of her mind that Liam was avoiding her.Since he chose to hide like a coward then so
