~ Chloe ~

“It is really unlike you to visit.” Cole took a seat on the couch opposite mine. “Come on now, spill it. What's wrong?”

“This calls for a drink.” My voice expressed the medley of fatigue and vexation in me.

“Strong or mild?”

“Non-alcoholic, but strong.”

The side of his lips hitched a little as he rang for a worker, who rushed over, nodding as he told her what to do.

The female worker left, returning with two glasses of a drink, dropping one each on the table in front of us.

“Alright, you've got the drink. Now explain.” He lifted his glass, sipping from it with a nose scrunch, while I did as I'd wanted to.

I explained as much as was necessary about me and Dale (removing anything that had to do with us getting intimately involved, and the effect of his touches.)

“Then he kisses me, and I kiss back, just to find out today is his engagement.” My nose was flared as I spoke the last part, not bothering about who I was speaking to.

Cole was a nice friend.

    The next morning, I message Cole, asking if he'd be able to meet up.His reply came an hour later, *Sure, where?*So I sent him the address to a coffee shop, then went to take a shower, changing into a red long sleeved top tucked in a gray baggy trousers.“Where are you off too?” Emery had asked once I got down the stairs, my hair packed up in a neat bun.“I'm meeting with Cole.” She nodded. “Alright.”Then I noticed her own dressing. “Are you going somewhere?”“Yeah, I'll be taking Donald to Sam's place. That's where he'll spend the weekend,” then she muttered, “apparently.”This obviously distressed her, so I had to head over, placing a hand on her shoulder. “I know this is gonna be a little weird for you, but believe me, every child needs to be with their dads. Even if it's just for the weekend.”She nodded, offering a small smile. “Yeah, I know.”I gave her a warm hug before saying my bye, then leaving for the car, which drove me straight to the coffee shop.Cole was already wait

    Sophie took in a deep breath, muttering. “Oh gosh, how did I get here that this bitch gets to talk back at me this way.”Dale's frown made her huff, grabbing her luggage as she stomped off.Amber glared at me before following her.All I did was roll my eyes, not interested in the drama.Dale moved over, his arm finding my waist, as he gave my forehead a peck. “I'm so sorry about all these.”“It's okay,” I mean, I wasn't going to just sit back and cry if she tried being insultive.Obviously.Also, it wasn't like I was living with Dale.So I won't have to see her everyday.“You sure?”“She's your sister Dale, and she's in a real situation right now. I'm not going to be the reason you don't help your family when they're in need.” His family hated me, and I felt the same way.But that had nothing to do with him or his relationship with them.And I wasn't going to stop that.“You always find ways to make me love you more every day.” He rubbed my cheek with his thumb, giving my lips a peck

    “Sophie?” If I said I wasn't surprised, then that'd be a lie.I hadn't seen Sophie since the day I left their place three years ago, so this sudden appearance was a total surprise.“Yup, it's me.” It was only as she walked in that I noticed the luggage on her hand which she wheeled with her.“Uh, what's going on?” I asked, shutting the door once Amber also walked in.“Get me something to eat, I'm hungry.” She fell on the couch, leg crossing over the other as her arms spread to lean against the armrest, giving off royalty.I gave her a one over look, all the excitement in me dropped to the minimum as I smoothly sat on another chair.“I see you’re still alive. That’s unfortunate for my peace.” I said calmly, watching the frown that grew on her face.“You bitch, I can't believe you still have the guts to talk even after everything you've done.” Amber interjected with a huge frown.“Everything I've done?” I scoffed, elbows propped on my knees so I could lean forward. “You all should be gr

    “I didn't kill them.” The words were gritted, my fist clenched so hard, the veins popped out of my arm and neck.Because I really didn't.A few years back, while I was still the head manager at the company, I'd strategized a way to improve the company's stocks and status, but in return that had led to a destruction in many other upcoming companies.Sadly, Chloe's parents' company was a part of that.Their company had been into such a wreck that it depressed and stressed them so much, they both fell badly ill and died from the stress.I had felt guilty when I heard the news, but what I wasn't aware of then was who their children were.Not until a few days till I divorced Chloe when Nora's family figured it out.Instantly, I'd filed for a divorce, because not only had I not loved her this much then, but I knew the longer we were together, the more likely it was for her to figure out the truth.And that would hurt her.So I'd just let her go, using the opportunity of her being framed as

    ~ Dale ~Five a.m. rarely met me asleep, but today, I found myself waking up by five thirty six a.m.That was something I'd blame on Chloe's presence beside me.She just had a kind of warmth that would make any man cuddle her forever.That was how it had been all night for two weeks. Today being no exception.I stared at her. At the beauty she upheld.And once again couldn't help but be glad about the decision I'd made to stay with her.One thing was certain, I was going to keep her no matter what. Nothing, no matter how much weight it carried, would be able to stop that.Slowly, my fingers lifted, brushing off the strands of hair that'd fallen on my face.“I love you.” I whispered. “And I'll always fight for it.”That was a promise. A promise I was very much willing to fulfill.Hesitantly, I got out of bed, ensuring I didn't wake her.Sincerely, all I'd wanted was to stay in bed all day and marvel in the beauty she possessed, but the company still had a lot that needed attending to,

    So far, everything had been going smoothly for us.I'd talked to Tina on the phone and she wouldn't stop yabbing on how much aura I risked by doing what I did. Also, how she very much would love to be like me.Her tone made it obvious that she'd likely bragged about me to her friends countless times.And then there was Sam, who I'd encountered only once since. He didn't at all seem mad. In fact, he thanked me, claiming I'd saved his sister from a loveless marriage.That was something I wasn't sure how to reply, so I'd just smiled.It was exactly two weeks since the wedding fiasco, and the media most certainly exploded at the scene created.Some praised my confidence, while others called it stupidity.That was none of my business though, because with such attention, there had been a great increase in stocks, meaning many more high standing companies were interested in joining hands.So far, things were going well.And to talk about Dale.Each day ended with us both in bed, cuddled agai
