Late in the evening, at around 11pm almost midnight, Chloe walked in drunk. After the episode earlier, and the harsh words from the man she loved, Chloe sought refuge in a bar.
On their way to the villa, Chloe ordered to be dropped off on the road, that she would find her way home, on her own. At first, Devin was adamant to leave her on her own. Because, he had been ordered by his boss and he couldn't afford to go against him.
Chloe got annoyed and began to shout so loud and throwing her tantrums, attracting passersby. Seeing how stubborn she proved to be, Devin gave up and drove away, leaving her alone, in the dark.
Chloe walked down the road , while still carrying her high-heeled shoes in her hands. People who passed by gave her a glance, others stopping to watch her as she aimlessly walked on the road. She looked like someone who didn't have a direction of where to go to. But, Chloe didn't care at all.
After walking for a while, she came across a bar that was situated along the road. She walked in. As she sauntered in, everyone couldn't help glancing at her. She was still in her designer balloon dress, her high heels still in her hands. This prompted the people to talk, while exchanging glances with each other.
"Who's she?" they began to question each other, throwing glances at her.
"Isn't she jayden's sister?" Why is she here?" a woman asked, seeming familiar with her.
"What! You mean, she's from the Anderson's family!" one woman shouted,unable to believe what she was hearing.
This was a simple bar for common people like them, where they could only afford to throw their weight around. Seeing jayden's sister, one of the wealthiest people in town walk into such a simple bar, no words could describe their surprise. Men were salivating over her.
Chloe, however, didn't mind their words. She had so much in her head, she didn't have time to talk. Without giving them a glance, she walked to the furthest end away from people before sinking in the chair.
"Barman," she called out. "Get me a bottle of your best beer," she ordered. Few minutes later, the bartender walked back, carrying Budweiser, the most popular beer in town and the most valued beer brand.
She poured a glass of the beer before she sipped it. After having a few glasses, she was drunk. But, it wasn't enough for her to forget about his words. She continued to sip her glass of beer, as she wiped the tears that were cascading down her face.
She recalled the harsh words he said to her. She loved him so much, and the fact that she would lose him, made it unbearably painful for her. As the only daughter of the Anderson's, daddy's daughter, she had everything she wanted.
The fact that she could have anything she wanted, made her to believe that she could have Ethan to herself. But, in the end, she got disappointed. She knew from the start, Ethan didn't love her. But, they had been doing well. What really happened after he came from his trip? Did he meet another woman, while there? Did he fall in love with another woman? As these thoughts ran through her mind, Chloe pulled her hair so tight until it began to hurt, as she shuddered in fear at the thought of losing him to someone else.
"Ethan, no matter what you say, you're mine! I won't let you leave me like that! I'm ready to fight to keep you!" she uttered. Her eyes were filled with determination. She was determined to do everything in her power, to keep him. She took another sip of her beer, as she glared in one direction not minding to wipe her tears.
She kept ordering for beer, one after another, until she was too drunk to support herself to the door. She staggered to the door, into a taxi and drove away.
The mansion all quiet, it seemed everyone was asleep. The lights inside were turned off. She tiptoed to the stairs careful not to wake her brother up. As she lifted her left leg ready to climb up, the lights were automatically turned on. Her brother, Jayden, stood at the door, his hands folded across his chest, while he stared at the woman who seemed to have realized, she had been caught in the act.
When he returned from the office, the maids told him that she went out in the afternoon. He assumed that, probably, she went to see her best friend, Ann, so he didn't give much thought to it. When she still hadn't returned home, he became worried. Her phone was switched off, he couldn't reach out to her.
Immediately, he made a phone call to Ann, and to everyone else who was close to her, but they all claimed not to know her whereabouts. With a sigh, he decided to wait for her. This was their home. No matter where she might have gone to, she would still come home. He had been resting on the sofa, lights off, when he heard someone open the door. He knew, definitely, it was her. He krept on her, and headed to the door before he turned the lights on.
"Where are you coming from at this time of the night, Chloe?" he questioned her. He walked closer to her, and he smelt the alcohol.
"What has really gotten into you, Chloe? What will mum and dad say, when they see you like this, drunk?" he spoke, his voice filled with anger.
"When did you become like this? Lately, you've become someone totally different. Is it because of Ethan that you've decided to ruin yourself with alcohol?"
Chloe remained quiet. Jayden was right after all. She had changed so much, because of Ethan. She went to a bar, because of him. She got herself drunk because she wanted to forget about his harsh words. And now, she was ready to deal with any woman who dared to take him away from her.
"Yes, you're right!" she sneered. "I changed a lot, and you know why? It's Ethan! Can't you see how much I love him! Why don't you help me! Talk to him, I'm sure he'll listen to you! Just do something to help me out," she spoke, tears cascading down her face. Her legs had become weak due to the alcohol, she could no longer stand on her own, without holding the bannister to support her already weakened body.
Seeing how his sister cried bitterly because of a man, Jayden felt depressed. He moved closer to her before he held her into an embrace."It's okay, Chloe. I understand how you feel, I really do," he continued to stroke her back while she sobbed. "But you'll only get hurt, if you don't let him go. You're my kid sister, and I wouldn't want you hurting. Ethan doesn't deserve you. Why don't you try someone else? Ivan loves you, give him a chance,"The moment she heard his words, Chloe suddenly withdrew from his embrace, pushing him away. She glared at him, her eyes filled with nothing but anger."Jayden, do you even care about me? "she asked, in exasperation. Here she was crying out to him how much she loved Ethan, how she couldn't live without him and instead of encouraging her to fight for him, giving her a helping hand, he was telling her to let him go? And move on with someone else?"You know I care about you more than anything in this world," he told he

Apart from the very many businesses they had in the city, there were other businesses in other countries.There stood, in the middle of the city, a tall building, 80 storeys tall with G&K embedded on top.

This large building was one of the many businesses they owned, the biggest and the headquarters to be precise. Ethan, as the ceo, was in charge of the company.A high end, dynamic, expensive navy-blue Sedan screeched to a halt in front of the building. It was a classy four door car.

Beverly hillsChloe sat on the sofa, like a princess as she swayed her legs from left to right while holding a glass of wine in her hand. Her eyes were bloodshot due to the hangover. Across her, sat a lady in her early 20s basically of the same age with Chloe. She was her best friend, Ann. Although, the previous night, Chloe was drunk, she could vividly recall what had happened that night.She could remember the argument she had with her brother, Jayden. She had spoken to him in a manner that she had never done before. But, one thing she was sure about, she meant every word she said to him. She would never give up on Ethan for anything in this world. But, that wasn't the issue at hand. Her main problem was Ethan.She was gradually losing him. She needed to do something and very fast before it became too late. This morning when she woke up, after she had her breakfast, she invited Ann to come over to their mansion. She needed someone to talk to, someone who
Aviana, Hayden and Joanna were getting ready to leave the hospital. After Hayden woke up, they remained in the hospital for a few days because Hayden needed to be examined to ascertain he had no other underlying health problem. After a few days, Hayden was fully recovered. He could walk, run and even eat on his own. Given that Joanna cared too much for her son, she didn't allow him to take walk outside the hospital and if she did, she had to be there to supervise. After they were done with signing of papers, and had packed their belongings, they exited the hospital. An ear-to-ear smile played on their faces. It displayed how happy they were. As they walked out, Aviana looked back and heaved a sigh of relief. The past few days had not been easy for her. Waking up every morning with the hope of finding Hayden awake only to get disappointed, wasn't easy for her. She had been worried and gloomy all through. But now, he was at their side, and they could be a happy family once aga
Aviana and Hayden sat on the sofa, making fun as they recalled their funniest childhood memories, while Joana busied herself in the kitchen. "Sis, do you recall the day when you farted in public? And when you realized people were looking at you, you covered your face with your hands to hide your embarrassment. It was hilarious," said Hayden, trying so hard not to laugh. In the end, he couldn't hold his laughter any longer. He laughed uncontrollably. Recalling that day, Aviana laughed too. It was one of her most embarrassing moments. "That day I really didn't mean to. I had stomach upset and you know it," she said trying to defend herself. As Hayden continued to laugh, Aviana got annoyed. Seeing her roll up her sleeves threateningly, Hayden was just about to stop laughing when she suddenly launched forward and started tickling him under his little armpits. "You mess with your sister, you get the tickster! The infamous killer who kills cute little kids like you
Chloe's phone's ringing, picking up, she answers, "Hello Ann." On the other side of the phone, Ann's voice is heard, speaking. "Chloe, you were right. Indeed something happened that day. On that day, Ethan was involved in an accident....." Before she could finish her statement, she was interrupted by chloe's panicked voice, "What! An accident! How! Where! But I didn't notice any injury on any part of his body! Oh Ann, I'm so stupid! How could I have judged him so quickly! How could I jump into conclusion! I f**cked up Ann! And to think that he has another woman! Ann, I really think I should apologize! I don't even know if he'll forgive me! I messed up, big time!" Ann was speechless. She didn't even allow her to finish whatever she was saying, she just jumped into conclusions. After a long pause, Ann finally spoke,"Chloe, calm down! Nothing happened to Ethan. He's fine. Yes, he was involved in an accident, but he isn't the one who got hur
Aviana woken up by the smell of freshly baked cupcakes, without even opening her eyes, her head rose automatically from her bed, while her nose sniffed along the direction in which the smell was coming from. A moment later, she stopped at the entrance of the kitchen. Her nose was buried in a soft and warm substance. Still groggy, Aviana moved up and immediately started munching on the substance after realizing that it was actually the vanilla chocolate-flavored cupcakes she loved since childhood. "Hey, drool face! Why don't you wake up first and then you can continue eating? I pinky swear I won't disturb your nose's impression in the cupcake!" Hearing those words and the chuckle that came along with the words, Aviana suddenly opened her eyes to see Hayden standing in front of her who was holding the cupcakes she were messily eating to her face. He was wearing a chef's apron, small in size, and which had stains of flour on it, and his black hair was an organized mess. His fai
Jenny, the receptionist, sat on the armchair, twisting her head quizzically, thinking of what next to do. Suddenly, as if she recalled something, she jerked forward, picking her phone and made a call. As soon as the call went through, Jenny spoke immediately, "Hello ma'am, are you kind of busy? You see, there is something that you need to know. Could you please go somewhere private? I really don't want any other person to hear what I'm about to say. I could get into big trouble if it goes around." She had heard from the other side, people shouting. It seemed the woman was in a bar. When she heard the woman's footsteps and the noise fading off, Jenny relaxed. "Okay, I'm already outside, away from the others. Say what you have to say, Jenny and allow me get back to having fun with my friends." After a prolonged silence, Jenny finally spoke, "Ma'am, a certain woman went into boss Ethan's office just now! And with the way she is dressed, she doesn't have class at all! I
