21. Congratulations!

I almost laughed out loud at their exchange. God, how I missed her."We have two weeks and some days to graduation, almost three." Chloe said smiling sadly at her."Why are you looking at me like that?" "I have no plans after graduation. All I know is I want to be independent somehow.""We'll see about that when that time comes."I decided to call her phone just to see her reaction. So I hesitated over tapping the call button against her name but I eventually called.Her phone started vibrating in her backpack, she raised one finger at her friend to retrieve it.The colour on her face dried up as she looked at the screen. She watched it ring in utter shock her mouth hanging open.Her friend snatched the phone from her hand and scanned the screen too with her eyes, her mouth dropped open too."Pick it up." She pushed the phone back into her hands. Chloe shaked her head instantly. Her face looked as if she had seen a ghost and it hurt me to see her watching her phone ring until it died

22. Stuttering Mr billionaire

There, leaning on one of the posts on the way to the graduation hall was Caesar in all his glory. Wearing a dark grey suit and dress shoes that matched it. His face displayed no emotion and for a moment I forgot why I was crying and who was that person who drove out on me."Marvelous."Oh christ! Please come intervene. His deep voice made want to do unholy things. That name still managed to stir a reaction from in within me.It's been almost two months since I heard it last. And I swear I wanted to hear that name for as long as I would want to remember."Caesar." I acknowledged moving a step closer.He looked straight into my eyes, his eyes widening slightly in alarm as he took in my features. "What happened!""You!" I snapped pulling my lower lip into my mouth. "You happened." "Oh yeah." He screwed his eyes shortly as if in realization and then opened them. "I know and I'm so sorry. I just wanted to see you graduate mar- Chloe. I had promised myself that I wouldn't bother you again.

23. Signing a deal with the devil

I turned my attention to the baby waving my hands over his face."Ku!" Leddy squealed at me. The little boy was so jovial whenever he saw me and it made me melt.I wish I was a kid.I had visited them almost thrice since I left Caesar's home. The little boy knew just the best way to bring me out of my misery with his contagious squeals and giggles."Come here little buddy!" I warmed at him opening my arms. Tracy placed him in my arms shaking her head."I always get jealous at how Leddy is always overenthusiastic with you." Tracy complained. I just stuck out my tongue at her then turned to grin at Leddy.Now everyone's attention was towards Leddy and I. "Did mummy bit you again? I told you to bite that titty. Did you do that?"Everyone started laughing at our silly interaction. "Pa pa pa!" He squealed pointing at his father who was sure walking towards our direction."Tracy thanks for coming. You didn't have to, this is a small---""Stupid. Why would I miss your big day. You are always

24. Misses

Chloe's povFour days had passed since graduation and I was still with the Banleys. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be with them if not for the ultimum foolery Caesar played me into.He took my certificate and I was given two choices I could choose from; One: for him to accept the money I wanted to pay for my tuition fee, I had to accept something from him too. Something to do with where I will be working, where I'll enforce my culinary skills. Honestly now, that's like buying me.Two: He'll give me back my certificate, let me do whatever I want with my life, go wherever I want and he'll not take the money for my tuition fee that I was to give him.If I had never been in a dilemma before, I sure was now. I didn't know what was better or worse. Obviously, the second choice was somehow upto my advantage but what was the point of working my ass off at the diner?I never wanted to feel like I was indebted. I wanted to pay back to the last cent of my tuition fee. But at that moment I felt in

25. In shock

Caesar's povI watched her as she double checked the place. It was only five blocks away from Tracy's shop."Are you sure this is the place you wanted to bring me Mister Banley?" She quirked up a brow as she scanned the building closer."The last time I checked, my brain was working well, so yeah I'm sure." I replied inserting a key into the main door of that building."Woaaahhh, this looks like an exquisite place that can hold a big charity ball." She gushed trailing a finger on the wall. "And I like the paint used here!" She chirped like a kid that has been brought to a candy shop.She was so adorable in a thousand and more ways.But seriously? Of all the things she could think of, the place deemed necessary for a charity ball?I was tired from the day's events but her energy was therapeutic and I could watch her all day gush about everything and nothing in particular. I followed her as she walked into what seemed to be the kitchen."Oh my goodness! I like the kitchen space! It can

26. The mysterious drawer

Chloe's povAnd I couldn't stand there looking at his ghast look any longer. He looked like a deer that has been struck in headlights and I'm sure he didn't expect those words to come from my mouth. Neither did I expect them, I was shocked too. I might as well say that they weren't meant to come out that way. And the look on Caesar's face scared me, the clock was always turning in his head and that's why I couldn't fathom what he was thinking at the moment. So the only resolve I had, was to run out of that place as fast as my legs could carry me.I Know he didn't feel the same way, he always saw me as a little homeless girl that needed to be looked after. I don't blame him, he was right in every perspective.Once I was outside of the so called restaurant. Just right on time, a cab passed by and I was fast enough to catch it."Where to ma'am?" The driver asked as I settled in the back seat, my heart beating erratically."Just drive." That was my poor answer.The driver was an old man

27. Innocent

Minutes later, I heard the rustling of metal and the gate opened revealing his Silver sports car. He just drove in slightly and parked the car carelessly, got out quickly and closed the gate. He then ran towards the entrance route.I could see his silhouette illuminated from the headlights of his car that were still on. I was still sitting at the base of the stairs and when he got closer, he stopped abruptly.He scanned the place before his eyes fell on mine. He didn't say a word. He moved closer to me and without warning, he scooped me up bridal style and walked us up into the building.I just snuggled closer into his familiar welcoming scent as tears kept pooling out of my eyes. I whimpered when he kicked the door to a room, and I don't know where he clicked but lights flooded the room.I opened my eyes slowly adjusting, that's when I noticed it was his childhood room."You're going to tell me what happened, take your time though. No rush." He said slowly setting me down into his sm

28. Not a charity case.

Two weeks and half had passed and I was still the same. Cold and uninviting.Now it was on a Sunday and I decided to bask in the beautiful Sunday morning sun's glory.I was lying on the lounge chair by the garden when I felt a shadow of someone blocking the Sun rays."Ughh... Please move, you're blocking the Sun." I groaned. The person didn't move. So I opened one eye slightly to take a peek at the intruder.In his glory, he stood there looking down at me with what I could have mistaken to be lust or something else.His eyes roamed all over my body and my breathing became erratic and I almost started to pant when he finally lifted my legs up from the lounge chair and sat letting my legs rest on his lap.As I looked at him, I realized that I had missed him. More than I could let on."I miss the old you Marvelous." His said, his morning thick voice doing bizarre things to me.I looked up at him and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes. I flinched and sat up straight, removin

29. Sweet and yummy.

Caesar's povI knew it wouldn't be easy for Chloe to accept my offer but I didn't know it would take almost zero effort to convince her. The moment she was fit with it even under certain conditions, I felt like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders.We're talking about this one girl who can't even hurt a fly but can hurt an egotistic human being with just one word. That's my Marvelous and that's what she does to me.A few days had passed since I got back from another one of our business trips in LA which took a week and three days. And in those few days in Bronx I'd barely caught sleep. We had business deals to close with some of our major stakeholders and it was one hell of a task. I could sleep at dawn, that means somewhere around four in the morning and by six in the morning my alarm was rejoicing. How could things get possibly better? I barely saw my sister leave alone Chloe. Sometimes I could sleep in the office over my paperwork since my body was getting used to the co

30. The cuddle

Chloe's POV"Hey." I gushed lowering myself beside Caesar on the coach."Hey." He replied back smiling as he lifted his hand and tucked the loose strand of hair on the side of my face behind my ear."How are you doing?" I asked scanning his face and I observed that he had dark circles under his eyes."I'm... uh... good?" He trailed his lips twitching slightly."Caesar don't you think you overwork yourself a little bit much?" I asked worriedly. "I'm used to working Marvelous." He took my hands in his. "You shouldn't worry about it."Well, I Knew I shouldn't worry but I couldn't help it."I went to see Mr and Mrs Johnsons today." I blurted out."What? When? Who were you with?"I knew he'll react that way, more reason to why I didn't want to tell him about it."We also did the final touches at the restaurant." I added trying to change the subject."I Know about the restaurant, it should be launched before the end of next week, pick the date for it's grand opening. But why didn't you tel
