Chloe

My heart was pounding so loudly, it felt like it was echoing inside my skull. Each beat thundered through me, as if my body couldn’t quite believe what I’d just done.

I stood there, cheeks flushed, hands trembling slightly at my sides. The white dress was a puddle around my feet. I could feel the cool air brush across my skin, but I didn’t look away.

I didn’t want to look away.

I was vulnerable. More exposed than I had ever been in my life. And yet, I didn’t regret it. Even if everything was going to end tonight, even if this was the last night I could truly call him mine, I wanted to give him this part of me.

Most people would probably call it foolish. Maybe even pathetic. But I couldn’t imagine anyone else being my first, especially if that person was going to be my father's choice.

His eyes were wide as he stared at me, clearly caught off guard. His gaze slowly dragged down my body, then back up to my face. He looked like he was forcing himself not to look again.

    Chloe I looked at the woman in the mirror for a long moment before I realized she was me. My hair was styled in soft waves, framing my face gently, while my lips were painted a deep red that made me look like someone I had never dared to be.The black dress clung to my body perfectly, the slim bodice dipping into a plunging neckline. Beaded details shimmered across the silk, catching the light whenever I breathed, and the high slit running up my thigh felt bold. It was the dress Joshua bought for me at the mall. I had refused it at first, it was too expensive, and back then, I had nowhere to wear something like that. But he insisted, saying there would come a day when I’d have the perfect place to wear it. And he’d been right.I did have a place to wear it.The makeup artist behind me stared as if I had turned into a different person entirely. “Oh my God, you look breathtaking, ma’am. The dress is gorgeous. The color really suits you.”I tilted my head slightly, studying my reflecti

  • I Mistook The Billionaire For A Stripper    I will make your life a living hell

    ChloeI chewed my food happily. Too happily, judging by the way both my mother-in-law and Layla stiffened every time my spoon scraped the plate. When I finished the bite, I took another spoonful, enjoying it even more this time, loud enough for them to hear the soft hum I made in satisfaction.When I finally lifted my eyes, they were still staring at each other, stiff and suspicious, like two scared chickens waiting to be slaughtered. Neither of them had touched a single thing on their plates.I tilted my head. “Is something wrong with the food? You haven’t taken a bite since you sat down.”My mother-in-law’s frown deepened. I could practically see the moment she imagined strangling me. The thought alone almost made me smile. They both glanced at Logan, who was eating calmly, and completely unfazed, and then Layla snapped her attention to me.“Why are you only eating that particular dish, Chloe?” she asked, narrowing her eyes. “Why did you cook some things specifically for us?”My mot

  • I Mistook The Billionaire For A Stripper    What if she poisoned the food?

    ChloeThe next morning, I woke up before dawn.The house was still silent. I tied my hair back and slipped into the kitchen. The cold tiles under my feet sent a shiver through me, but I ignored it. My hands moved on their own as I reached for the ingredients. Flour, eggs, butter, vegetables, meat. I remembered every single thing they liked, my mother-in-law’s obsession with light soups, Layla’s sweet tooth, and Logan's preference for spicy food. I cooked them all.The maids tried to step in, and help, but I smiled and shook my head. “It’s fine. I’ll handle it myself.”It took hours. When I finally placed the last dish on the dining table, I had to take a step back. The table was full.I wiped my hands, and called out sweetly,“Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, Logan… let’s eat.”From the corner of my eye, I saw their heads turn.Layla and my mother-in-law exchanged glances, confusion, suspicion, and a touch of fear flickering between them. I kept my smile soft and bright, the kind of smil

  • I Mistook The Billionaire For A Stripper    Was he really getting off on this?

    Chloe“The more, the merrier, right? After all, I’m just the barren woman who’ll raise them all for you.”The words left my mouth in mockery.Logan’s gaze locked on me, his face dark and unreadable. If looks could kill, I’d already be dead. But then again, wasn’t I already? Because that’s exactly how it felt.The way I’d lived all these years, I might as well have been a walking corpse. Because dead people don’t talk back. Dead people don’t flinch when they’re treated like trash. Dead people don’t think for themselves. Dead people don’t live, they just exist.So yes, I was a dead person. Logan’s hand tightened around my wrist, pulling a small whine from me. He held my gaze, and even through the anger burning in his eyes, I saw lust, desire, frustration, and that same sick madness I’d come to know too well. It made me sick, knowing that even in his rage, he could still want me like that.To make things worse, I felt the hard press of him against me, and my stomach turned. God, he was

  • I Mistook The Billionaire For A Stripper    What now, husband?

    Chloe As soon as Logan opened the door to our room, that familiar weight settled on my chest again. The air here always felt heavy, filled with memories I wanted to forget. I wanted to turn back, and escape before the door shut, but he was faster. The click of the latch behind me sounded like the lock of a cage.He released my wrist, exhaling sharply as his hand fell to his side. His face was flushed with anger, a vein pulsing at his temple. His jaw clenched, and he raked a hand through his hair, restless, like a man who didn’t know what to do with his rage.I stood near the wall, watching him. He was pissed as if he was the victim in all this. It almost made me laugh. Everything that had happened, the humiliation, the cruelty, the betrayal, had started with him. He was the reason I was treated like garbage by his family, why Amelia had the confidence to walk into my home as if she owned it. He had built my misery piece by piece, and now he looked like the one suffering.What right d

  • I Mistook The Billionaire For A Stripper    It is what it is

    Chloe All this time, I’d been asking questions about my memory, what happened to me, and why even Stella, who never hid anything from me, suddenly kept her mouth shut. But nobody answered, they danced around it, avoided my eyes, and changed the subject.At first, I thought they were just being careful. But now, as I looked at Amelia, clutching her stomach, I knew the truth.Amelia was pregnant with Logan's child.Could her pregnancy really be the reason I lost my memories? No. That was impossible. Even if Amelia and Logan had caused me to lose my child, finding out she was pregnant still wouldn’t have made me forget. I would have taken my anger out on them instead.And right now, even after learning the truth, I couldn’t even tell what I felt. Was it anger? Hatred? Or nothing at all?Which meant only one thing, something else had happened. Something bigger, that broke me in a way I didn’t want to remember.Whatever it was, it was worse than I imagined.I crossed my legs slowly, sinki
