Chloe

“Oh my god.”

“She’s stunning.”

“She’s one of the few women who’s ever left us completely speechless.”

“I know right!”

Compliments poured in from every corner of the salon.

I sat still, my face warming as I tried to remain indifferent. But it was impossible. I could feel my cheeks turning pink, my heart fluttering against my ribs.

They weren’t mocking me. They weren’t being polite.

They meant it.

I glanced at the mirror again.

My hair had been styled in soft, cascading waves, tumbling down my shoulders. My makeup was minimal, and glowing. It was just enough to enhance my features. And for a second, I stared at my reflection like I was seeing myself for the first time in years.

I’d almost forgotten what I looked like when I took care of myself.

I looked beautiful.

Joshua had dyed his hair blond during the process, the color making his already charming features pop. He looked like someone who’d walked off a designer billboard.

He smiled at me. “You’re stunning, Chloe.

    Chloe “This dress has only two pieces in the world,” the store manager said. “It was gently crafted and designed by the famous Chen Lily herself.” Her words slid into one ear and out the other. I stared down at my hands, blinking slowly. My fingers twitched slightly in my lap, and I wasn’t sure if it was from nerves or fatigue. The soft scent of expensive fabric, and perfume filled the VIP suite, but it all felt distant. That thought was still clawing at my mind, refusing to leave. “Chloe? Are you okay?” a voice called softly. I felt a light tap on my hand and looked up, startled. Joshua was watching me, concern etched in his eyes. “You’ve been out of it for a while,” he said. “Did something happen?” I blinked at him, then at the store manager standing nearby. I licked my lips, trying to gather my thoughts. Come on, Chloe. Calm down. Don’t act strange. I forced a small smile. “Yeah, I’m sorry. I’m just tired. I didn’t sleep well last night.” Joshua smiled gently and gav

    ChloeI looked at Joshua, confused. He just said Dad. If that man was Joshua’s father, did that mean he was Alexander’s father too?I turned to him slowly. “Did you just say… Dad?”He froze, as if I’d just slapped him. His entire body went still, and he turned to me with wide eyes, swallowing hard. For a moment, he looked like a child caught in a lie. Then he sighed, like he already regretted what he was about to say.“Oh, no,” he said quickly. “He’s not our real father, Chloe.”I stared at him. “But, you called him dad just now.”Joshua let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. “It’s just…he looked so much like my father. I must’ve gotten confused for a second.”“Confused?”He smiled faintly, eyes dropping to the floor. “Yeah. Actually, we lost our dad a few years ago. He passed away. It was hard, especially for me. I was really close to him. He was the kind of man who’d dance in the kitchen just to make us laugh. The kind who lived on his own terms. So sometimes, when

    Alexander The moment the door to my office shut, his voice exploded into the room.“Son! I’m back!”I barely had time to react before my father lunged forward, arms open like he actually expected a hug.I stepped aside.He stumbled slightly from the momentum, and I caught his elbow without looking, steadying him with one hand.“I can see you’ve developed more than one life, Father,” I said, dryly, before letting him go and walking toward my desk.He huffed behind me, adjusting his wrinkled shirt and brushing invisible lint from his shoulder. “Well, it’s not like I was expecting a hug from a heartless brat like you,” he grumbled, flopping into the chair across from mine. “But you know, it’s been three years. You could at least pretend you missed your old man.”I sighed and raked a hand through my hair.“When did you get here?” I asked.His eyes sparkled. “Last night.”I narrowed mine. “And you didn’t think to tell me?”He shrugged. “Why would I? I’m a grown man. I can travel where I w

    Lincoln The car door opened for me. I stepped in without a word and settled into the back seat. The door clicked shut behind me. I leaned back and let my head rest against the seat, closing my eyes. A few seconds later, I felt the shift in the front, my secretary quietly taking his seat. “Is everything okay, sir?” my secretary asked. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at him. He stiffened immediately, throat working as he swallowed. I laughed. A loud, genuine laugh that bounced off the car windows. I couldn’t help it. “Okay?” I said between chuckles. “Okay? This is better than I expected!” I shook my head, grinning. “I can’t believe it. When I heard my cold, stiff son had fallen head over heels for a woman, much less a married woman. I was suspicious, and curious. Hell, I flew all the way back to America just to see who she was.” I waved my hand, still smiling like an idiot. “I thought I’d have to dig, spy a little, maybe follow her around. But who would’v

    Chloe Every head turned toward me. Layla blinked in surprise, her lips parting slightly before she recovered, raising one perfectly plucked brow. “Oh?” I ignored her, walking toward the old man still on the floor, my heels echoing sharply against the marble. Layla’s boyfriend still had the man’s shirt clenched in his fist. I stopped in front of them, my gaze dropping to his grip. “Let go,” I said calmly. He didn’t let go. In fact, he looked amused, like he was waiting to see what I’d do next. I took a breath, stepped in, wrapped my fingers around his wrist, and shoved his hand away. He stumbled back and landed flat on his ass with a surprised grunt. Gasps echoed through the store at the sudden turn of events. Layla shrieked. “Bryce!” She and her friend rushed toward him, flustered and frantic. But I didn’t spare them a glance. I knelt beside the old man, brushing dust off his shirt as I leaned in. “Are you okay, sir?” He looked up at me with a bright, disarming smile. “I’m
