Chapter 41: The search

Arthur Cassius finally got released from the hospital and was asked to rest well and take good care of himself. This was a week after his legs had been shot. He went back to his mansion in Washington. He sat into his favourite armchair, wincing slightly as he adjusted his bandaged legs. Sam sat across him, as he has always been there for him even though he was fired. Arthur seemed too stubborn to accept that he actually needed all the help that he could get so Sam too, decided to be stubborn and stay around. “Are you feeling better, sir?” Sam asked concerned. “Yeah, I am,” he replied simply. “Why are you still here?” Arthur asked. “I couldn't just leave you in this state, plus I'm the only one who knows how to go about the situation, so you definitely need me,” he stated firmly. Arthur's brows arched as he stared at Sam. "You really want to be by my side?” He asked curiously. Sam shrugged and nodded with a yes. “Are you into men?” Arthur asked out of the blue, letting his curi

Chapter 42: At the hotel

The next morning Khloe and Anastasia set out to Maryland, in hopes of finding Xander. “Are you set?” Khloe asked Anastasia as she buckled her seatbelt. “Yeah, ” Anastasia replied, getting into the car. “What about your family and company. Is anyone going to watch over your company?’ Anastasia asked, concerned, as she laced her voice. “My assistant is going to watch over it closely and I've also informed my family about my whereabouts so you don't need to worry about all that,” Khloe said. “I still don't believe you'd be the one helping me after our friendship rollercoaster ” Anastasia said feeling guilty of the things she'd done to Khloe in the past. “Well, we're over it now. What was so important about twelve years ago that you'd want to bring it up now? You're my friend now, Anastasia and even if we disagree in almost everything, I still treat you as my younger sister,” Khloe said in a low soft voice. “Wait…younger sister? I am two weeks older than you,” as she was about to

Chapter 43: Give me the key

Arthur Cassius woke up as though he had been startled from his sleep, wondering if someone was talking about him. “Is someone talking about me?” he asked, rubbing his ear absent-mindedly. He rolled out of the bed and hit the showers. And after he was done with his morning preparations, he called Sam. “So, you got any location on where he might actually be this time?” He asked over the phone. He didn't want to come out because then people would probably recognize him, and also, because he had seen Brandon the previous night. “He might have recognized me so it's better to stay put till he goes away,” he said internally. “We have nothing for now. The device looks a little distorted but we're fixing it and I will get back to you soon,” Sam said. “Alright. Don't take so long, I'll be waiting,” he said, hanging up the phone. He laid on his bed waiting for room service to bring him in his food. Finally the doorbell rang and he got up to check the door. “I brought your food sir, as yo

Chapter 44: Back to Washington

Tension continued to build as the two ladies stared daggers into each other's eyes. Hannah's hands stretched out to grab Khloe while Khloe didn't bulge at all. “I'm telling you for the last time. Don't fucking touch me with those filthy hands of yours. I'm not handing you those keys,” Khloe replied, more infuriated than ever before. “So, you do have the keys. You have finally admitted. Very well then,” Hannah said, returning her hands to herself. “I have been kind to you and politely asked you to give them to me, but you've refused. Just prepare for the consequences,” Hannah said, turning to leave. “Whatever you say doesn't bother or even move me at all. I'll take those keys to my grave, not you nor Ethan will get that key,” she yelled after Hannah. But got ignored as Hannah entered her vehicle and drove off. “God, that woman is annoying. I just do not understand what she wants to do with the safe….such an ungrateful gold digger. What's wrong with these women? Even Emily is after

Chapter 46: “I'm different, Khloe”

Khloe Ferguson's heart slumped in her chest as she met a set of emerald eyes staring back at her with the same wild expression as her. “What the hell is this lunatic doing here?” She thought to herself. “I hope it isn't what I'm thinking about.” “Ah, Khloe darling. I was wondering when you'd be back. Come sit here,” Lucas offered her a seat. Her eyes still on Sylvester, before anyone could speak she said, “What is he doing here?” she asked and everyone turned their gaze to her. “Who?” Lucas asked. "Sylvester!” Khloe's voice was laced with nothing but anger, "What are you doing here? I thought I made it clear I wanted nothing to do with your ridiculous proposal." Her eyes narrowed, her mind racing with suspicion. Everyone was surprised by this sudden action of hers. “What do you mean by proposal?” Kelly asked, puzzled by her sister's choice of words. But Khloe ignored them and continued "You're not stalking me, are you?" She took a step back, her heart racing with a mix

Chapter 47: The weird dream

Her eyes flung open and were met by a very beautiful set of blue eyes staring back at her. Khloe was confused as to how she even got to the room, Because it wasn't hers. “What am I doing here?” She asked, her eyes frantically scanning the dark room. “Don't you worry about that, Khloe. You're here now and that's what matters,” Arthur said sinisterly. “Mark? What.…how.… What is this place?” She stammered, unable to move. She tried moving but her body felt reluctant and numb as if something heavy was stopping her from getting up. Something was on her, and it was Arthur. “What the heck? Get off of me,” she commanded but he only laughed hysterically. “How can I? I've been waiting for this for a long time and now it's my chance,” he said, smirking. “What are you trying to do? Don't do anything stupid, okay? We can talk things out,” she negotiated but Arthur turned deaf ears. “Don't worry… you'll be just fine,” he said, caressing her bare thighs with his hands and yelping. She tried

Chapter 48: “Don't listen to Sylvester”

Khloe Ferguson screamed and jerked from her bed. Sweating and trembling. “This isn't real. That was just a dream, a dream,” she repeated, curling up herself. She felt her duvet wet, and opened to see something like water all over the bed. “What is this? That isn't the right question, is this my room?” She said scanning the place, she recognized everything and knew it was her room. Then, she slowly turned her head to check if he was there but nothing. “It was a dream. It was a dream. A nightmare, nothing less…” as she was comforting herself, Lucas and Kelly bursted into her room. “What's wrong?” Kelly asked. “Why did you scream like that?” “You woke everyone up. What is it?” Lucas then asked. She kept quiet but was still shaking from the horrible dream. “Why are you sweating? And why is your bed wet?” Lucas kept pestering her with questions but she couldn't find the right words. “How can I tell them, in my dream, I almost got raped by my driver. The driver that turned me down.

Chapter 49: Let's be quick, there's no time

Khloe Ferguson froze at the spot, thinking she had made the worst mistake of her life by letting a total stranger into her business. If it was her personal life, it wouldn't have been a problem but not her business. “I can't withdraw my words now, can I? I have already told him to resume tomorrow, how can I have done such a horrible thing? I won't let it go,” she thought to herself. Immediately Sylvester left, Khloe picked up her phone to call Kelly. “I need to gather more intel on him. Why is he here? What offer was he given? And at what cost. If it's anything I know, his parents are by far so well off, I mean they're so rich then why is he working with Emily,” her mind raced with thoughts and possibilities as to what Sylvester's actual intention was. Her phone buzzed a few times before Kelly finally picked up the call, “How did you get this information?” Khloe didn't hesitate to ask. “Khloe, I can't talk right now, I'm with Emily and those kids,” she said, her voice above wh

Chapter 50: "Go away, I'll call you"

Rachel walked into Khloe's office, holding some files for her. “Excuse me ma’am but…” she paused when she found her head dangling in a chair, sleeping. The position looked so weird to her. “What kind of ugly sleeping is this?” She asked disgustedly by the way her body was twitching as if she was struggling. “Maybe I should come back next time,” she said, turning to leave. “Mark…” Rachel stopped at the faint call. Khloe was sleeping talking….. “Who is Mark? Ohh, I remember. Isn't he one of her former drivers? Why would she be calling out his name in her sleep? Is she dreaming about him?” she asked, her brows raised in confusion. Meanwhile, Khloe was on a run for her life as she was being chased by something. It's face was very unclear. She tried calling out Arthur's name severally but he didn't answer at any one point and the thing, with a long slender body and a face that is covered with dark clouds, paused in front of her. “What is happening to me? What is this?” She cried as s
