Chloe Montclair"If you hadn't then, I wouldn't have been in this condition now." I hissed and rolled my eyes. "Make me understand you well, Chloe.""Stop calling me that!" I hissed again. "Shut up and answer my question with a 'yes' or 'no' do not forget who I'm to you. I pay you to follow my orders. Don't you dare snap at me again." He said in a cold tone. I couldn't say anything. I just sat there looking at him like a statue. He's right though. We're never in the same league so, I have no right to talk back at him in such a manner. He was kind enough to bring me to his family and made me welcomed. "Look, just answer my question with a yes or no... Okay?." He asked and I nod my head. "You guys are not given three square meals per day?." "No.""What?! Okay... You said about being in a fight with someone. If you do, you're not allowed to be given good too?." "Yes." "Have you never been allowed to see any visitor that came for you?." "No. I've always been from problem to the o
Chloe Montclair"Vivian, promise me you're going to take good care of yourself?." Ken's mom asked me in a very soft tone. The tone she uses on me while talking to me has always got me wondering if I'm some kind of her lost daughter which she found recently. Immediately after we finished taking our breakfast, Ken's dad got a call and it was important so, he had to leave. And also Janet too, since she's a fashion designer, she also got an important call and, she's been up to her room to get dressed. Ken promised to drop her off immediately after he drop me off at my house. "Thank you, mom. I will.""Ken, do not forget to get her the drugs. I believe you know how important it's for her." Before he could reply to his mom, I beat him to it. "No mom, it's fine. I can get the drug myself. I have a pharmacy close to my house." I said. "No, he's getting you the drugs and that's final." "Yes, yes mom. I'm getting her the drugs so, stop worrying yourself about it." He smiled at her before
Chloe Montclair"Tiana?!" She called out her name again before embracing her in a tight hug. "Where have you been? H... ho.. how comes you're here? We've looked for you everywhere but you were nowhere to be found. Where have you been? How have you been? What happened to you? Where did you go to? How can you leave like that without a word?." She bombarded her with lots of questions and again, in a worried tone too. "Excuse me, who are you?." She kindly pushed her body away from her she look at Janet's with a confused look written all over her face. "Where did you get her from? Is she your friend or what? I can't believe you now tell strangers my full name." Tiana hissed at me as she questions me. Making me roll my eyes at her. There we go again. "You silly girl!" Janet said smiling whilst she smack her arm roughly. I swear, I wasn't the one that was being hit but I felt the pain. I wasn't that strong so, I decided to take a seat while I continue watching the drama unfolding in fro
Chloe Montclair"Hey! Aren't you supposed to be with mom? Why are you calling me again?." I question Tiana the moment I picked up her call. "I know, right? I just want to tell you that I might be home late today. Are you okay with that?." She asked in a careful tone. "Are you crazy, Tiana? You expect me to be upset because you're spending time with your mom? You're crazy, I hope you know that.""I know but... I'm just worried about you..." She trailed off. "You should be more worried about yourself because, the moment you step your foot into this house, I'm going to beat the hell out of you. I'm not a kid!" I threatened her even though, I wasn't going to do anything to her. I was only trying to pull her legs. "Whatever! See you later." She said. "Wait, you're still coming home tonight?." "Of course, I will. Why?.""Aren't you supposed to spend the whole day with your mom?." "I don't know yet. I'm still catching up with her for all the years we've been apart from each other. I..
Kenneth DomancoHow can they have a lot of things in common? How can she be so fierce just like her? Seeing the way she shout at me and never get scared of me made me remember the past. My first encounter with Vivian. I had thought she was a good, naive and innocent girl but, never knew she was only pretending. None of my family likes her, including my friend... I had no idea she would stab me in the back with my best friend. Why does Chloe always make me remember her at every given time. They both have lots of things in common. Does this means, she's just exactly like her too? A betrayal?No, I must be mistaken. Chloe is nothing like her! She's different. And what if, you're mistaken?- my subconscious told me. Flashback"How... dare you... slap me?!!!" Ken roared in anger."I will slap you, again and again" Vivian said with a satisfied smile plastered on her face."You-" he wanted to say something but she cut him off again."Why? Has anyone never put you in your place?" Sye smi
Chloe MontclairI do not know what came over me. All I could think of was just to land my palm on his cheek and now, I regret it. He was just as shocked as I was even though, he didn't look upset. I don't know why he looks so calm despite everything I've done. Isn't he supposed to be mad at me for slapping him?"I-" I was ready to apologize to him and tell him I didn't mean to do that but, my room door burst open and Tiana and Janet both walked in. The look on their faces isn't friendly too. Janet looked shocked while Tiana looked upset. Why are they both here? I thought she was supposed to spend the whole day with her mom.The look on her face says it all, I think... She heard some part of the conversation between Ken and me. "Tiana, I can explain." I started. "It's not what you think, I mean-""You're Chloe Montclair?." Janet's voice cut me off. Before I could reply to her, Ken asked."What are you doing here?." "That, isn't the problem now, Ken." She answered him before facin
Chloe MontclairBefore she could close her room door, I stopped her, she took a glance at me and walk over to her bed and lay down acting like I'm not here.Brat!"Avoiding me is not going to solve anything. Talk to me, shout at me and ask me questions. You're not even ready to listen to me. At least, hear me out first." I complained in a frustrated tone. Yet, no word came out from her. "Christiana! Christiana please, talk to me." I tried making her sit up but she end up yanking my hand off hers. "Chloe please, I'm not in the mood right now. Can you at least leave my room?.""Really? Leave your room. It's now your room?.""Oh! Are you reminding me now that this house belongs to you and no longer 'ours' anymore?." She questioned. "W.. wh.. what?!! Tiana! You know that's not what I meant to say. Why are you misinterpreting my words?." "Chloe, kindly leave my room please." "Stop being childish! Talk to me and let's fix this. I know you're upset at me right now and a lot is on your m
Chloe Montclair"I don't know why you're surprised though. You of all people should know him more than any other person." She said smiling and rolled her eyes. "And that's why, I'm surprised that he apologized to you. Ken is not the type who can easily apologized to someone." I replied. "Okay, let me tell you about it. After you left the room earlier with Janet, he apologized to me. He told me he was sorry for hiding it from me right from the beginning." "So, does that mean, he knows you're your mom's daughter and yet, still made you stay in that hell of a cell?." "Not really. Okay, this is how our conversation go..."Flashback"Erm .. I'm sorry Tiana." He said and I looked at him confused. "Huh?." "For what happened, for hiding it from you." He explained further. "But Ken, that was unfair. You know who I am right from the beginning and also, aware that my mom is alive but yet, you hid it from me despite knowing that my disappearance is affecting her." "No, Tiana. I have no id
Chloe Montclair"Hi girls!" My friends walked into my house whilst my sister and I with Janet were all sitting and having fun with my niece I'm my arm. "What took you guys so long?" I asked staring at them."It was Tiana, she took time in selecting the baby's cloth." Margret hissed. "No one accuse my best friend" Janet, my sister said supporting Tiana. "I hate you Tiana. I can't believe you steal my best friend from me" Janet, Ken's sister pout making everyone of us burst out laughing. "I volunteered to be your new best friend" Rose said."Me too" Sophia chimed in. "Me three" I raised my hand smiling"Not me four" Margret stick out her tongue at them and rolled her eyes. I'm so happy witnessing a day as this. My life has never been this lively not until I met all of them. They all make it colorful and I love them so much. It might still be early but, what I feel for them was real. They're like a sister.. no, they're my SISTER."Janet, we need to go somewhere.. get dress by 5 pm"
Chloe MontclairI was expecting to be in the pool of blood by now but, I felt nothing. It was my sister. She's lying on the floor already in the pile of blood. "Janet!!!!" I screamed out her name and couched to her level on the floor. She save me, she got hit by the bullet instead of me. Tears roll down my cheeks all of a sudden. I held her cheeks with my two shaking hands. "Why did you do it? Why did you save me you silly girl?" I asked her in tears. I thought I hate her but I did not. I thought, I never missed her but I do. I thought, I will hurt her and make life miserable for her but now, I realized that I have nothing as such in mind... I've always loved her and that's it. Nothing has changed despite everything that has transpired between us. "Janet! Janet!! Janet, no!!" Seb screamed as he tried to move closer us but the officers hand cuff him already. Tears rolled down his cheeks too. "Babe please, wake up! Why? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you! Please, wake up!" He begg
Chloe MontclairIt has been two weeks after all the misunderstandings between Ken's parents and me. Sometimes, I cried myself to bed, and sometimes, I hope everything will come back to how it used to be. I was supposed to take out my revenge on Seb and his wife but, I've been too down to do that. Today, I decided to dress up and go to the board meeting at Seb's company. Did I tell you within these past weeks, Ken has helped crumbled him so badly and now, I owned 52% shares in that company which, I partially now becomes the owner. I have been receiving lots of threats from him and even had a meal with his wife, my sister. She also threatened me to leave her husband alone or else she would hurt me. I made my identity known to her and she almost hug me the moment she knew I was Chloe, she burst into her fake tears, apologized to me and even told me some things about Seb, like; he's not who I think he's and I shouldn't cross his path. Like, I was going to believe her anyway. I told he
Chloe Montclair"Baby?." "You're my baby and you can't deny that." He winked at me and left my room. I couldn't stop grinning and I'm sure, my cheeks are burning red right now since I'm the fair type. We were both sitting in my living with Ken who just finished preparing my meal. He prepared me a porridge potato and the aroma filled in my nose. "Hmmm, this looks sweet." I commented, surprised. The fact that he can make meals despite his status still surprises me. "Wait until you taste it first." He said proudly. I scoop my spoon in and dig in the food, I couldn't control the excitement. It tastes nice. "Now I believe, you can prepare any food. You're full of surprises, Ken." "A lot more to know about me. Wait until we get married." He said and I choke on my food before he hurriedly offered me a glass of water and pat my back. "Are you crazy? Do you want me dead?!" I rolled my eyes at him. I don't know what has gotten into him. He's saying strange things for the past two days no
Chloe Montclair"Why, you don't like that?." He asked, smiling. Is this Ken talking to me right now? He's suddenly changed and become caring too. "But, we're not dating yet. I mean, it's not like you asked me out to be your girlfriend or-""Do I have to ask you to be my girlfriend before you know you're one already? There's no going back now, Chloe. You're mine now and nothing is going to change that. I like you and I'm ready to do this with you." "But Ken, I-""You don't want me?.""No!" I exclaimed. "I mean, yes. I mean, I... I want you but, we still have a problem ahead of us.""Sebastian and your sister? Look, I know I've not been doing much for you lately ever since we met. I've only been ordering you around and not after your work needs. I'm working on some things recently, I'm sure.. in two days, you're going to know about it and, you'll be happy.""What are you talking about, Ken?." I asked, stunned. What I was talking about is different from what he's saying. "I told you,
Chloe MontclairOkay, why must you bring Seb into this sweet moment- I mentally scold myself. "Thank you." I said to him. "Only for you, beautiful." He wink at me and I slide in the car. He walk to the other side while, Farhan is still staring at me intently. I couldn't see the expression on his face very well since it's dark but, I'm sure of one thing. Whatever happened this night, he didn't like it. Ken ignite the car engine and drove off. All through the ride back to his house, it was silent. Not the awkward one though. Everyone was engross in their own thoughts. Anytime I opened my mouth to say a word, I will end up closing it. I received a text and when I checked, it's Tiana. You crazy girl! I hope, Ken was able to find you. I told you not to do anything stupid but you wouldn't listen to me~ She scolded in the text.I replied her back with. 'Do not worry about me and go to bed peacefully. Ken said to spend the night at his place so, I'm not coming home tonight. I love you~I
Chloe MontclairShe looked at me for a moment before taking her eyes off me. She doesn't know if she was to move closer to the two men and stop them.While Ken was still punching Seb's on the floor, I yelled "Please stop!" I was able to get the attention of the both of them. Ken was able to dodge the punch that Seb throws at him but Sebastian face got bruised already."Ken please, stop it" I held his hand but yet, he wasn't ready to listen to me. He was about to throw another punch at Seb's face when I hurriedly stopped him and stood right in front of him. "Vivian." He called softly. Thank goodness he's back to his senses. Everything would have been busted if they knows that I'm Chloe."What's wrong with the both of you? I don't understand why two full grown up men would act like teenagers. Stop acting like kids for goodness sake!" I hissed at them. "Do you think, you have the right to judge their actions, you slut!" I heard a voice said to me. "What?!" I slowly turned to face her.
Chloe Montclair"Oh my goodness! Chloe!""Is this you?!" Both my friends exclaimed in a stunned tone. The latter was Janet."You're going out tonight?! Having a dinner with Ken?" Janet asked again as her face lighten up in excitement. "I have a date tonight." I twirled and asked. "Tell me girls, is there anything I need to retouch?." "You're looking stunning, Chloe! What's the occasion?." Tiana questioned. I'm putting on a pencil slit maroon skirt and a black top, I bring out my black 4 inches heels and curled my brown long hair. It was a simple dress but yet, I look elegant. I do not need to be told that, I saw it with my two eyes and I loved what I see. Still, wondering where I'm going. Wondering if, it's Ken I'm having a dinner date with? No... Not with Ken but with someone else. Just yesterday, on my way back from the airport with Ken when I got a text from Sebastian. 'Hi, Vivian... I don't know how you're going to take this but, could you spare me your time and have dinner
"Brute! Very arrogant and so full of himself! Annoying jerk!" I couldn't stop assaulting the poor burger in front of me with the fork in my hand as I aggressively stab the fried egg on my plate. "Hey! Is everything okay? Can you pity your food already? You keep on stabbing the poor thing like the burger has offended you or something." I heard Janet chuckled as she said that, bringing me out of my thought. "I wish I never meet him. He's the worst nightmare for me." I said again. " And, who are you talking about?." "Who else if not your crazy brother." I answered in a frustrated tone. " What did he do? You two seem to get along very well with me. So, what's going on?. " I look at her and sneered. Get along my foot!" I said. "You won't believe he's forcing me to go on a business trip with him. I mean, why should I go with him in the first place? From where did that thought come from? I'm just his business partner.. well, to the world, I'm but between us... I'm just his worker but,
