It felt just like a threat.I lay flat on the floor, staring at nothing while my phone was clenched tightly in my hand.I had been texting Vanezza over and over again, begging her to let me come back but the messages weren’t going through anymore. I had been blocked.“What do I do now?” I said to myself in a very low voice.Tears slipped silently from my eyes, i never signed up for all this, not this life.Just one night!, one stupid night! turned everything this way.I closed my eyes, trying to hold back the tears but it didn’t work it fell faster than I could control.Then suddenly, a knock came from the door. I paused for a moment, just to be sure the knock was coming from my door.Then not long after, the knock came agsin. I quickly got up, wiping my face in a hurry, then rushed to the mirror.I checked my reflection,making sure I didn’t look broken. The knock didn’t stop. This time around,
CHAPTER 16CHLOE’S POVThe day faded slowly into night.Darkness settled in quietly, wrapping everything in a heavy silence.Everyone had already gone to their rooms.I stood up and walked to the window, staring out at the glowing buildings and passing cars.My thoughts wouldn’t stay still.They kept dragging me back… back to a time when my parents were still alive.A time when everything didn’t feel this complicated.The breeze slipped into the room, brushing gently against my skin.For a moment… it almost felt peaceful.Almost.The only sound that filled the silence was the faint hum of cars in the distance.While my eyes were still fixed outside, I heard a sound from the door.I ignored it at first, thinking it was my thoughts playing tricks on me.Then the knock came again. I turned to the door immediately, fear written all over my face.“Who could that be?”“At this time of the night?”The questions kept running through my mind. Then boom. The door handle began to shake.My heart
CHAPTER 15CHLOE’S POVThe moment I saw who walked in, my heart became heavy. Too heavy.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me whole.Different thoughts kept running through my mind at once, it became overwhelming and suffocating.I froze completely.My body went stiff, my eyes locked in one direction, but I wasn’t really seeing anything anymore.I was lost in my thoughts.Then suddenly, he cleared his throat.The sound snapped through the silence like a warning.“So… no form of welcome?” He said with a very calm voice.Before he could say anything else, the cook hurried toward him and quickly took his suitcase.Xavier stood up immediately.“Welcome, Dad.. but you didn’t tell me you were coming today”His voice wasn’t steady.“I thought we agreed on something already.”I stayed completely silent, but the fear in me? It was too loud that I could feel it all over my face.I tried to hide it, I tried to stay calm but my body refused to c
CHAPTER 14CHLOE’S POVNight passed slowly… too slowly.I barely slept.It didn’t even feel like sleep.More like my body shutting down for a few minutes only to wake up again. Feeling restless and uneasy.Every little sound in the night kept pulling me back.The silence felt louder than usual.Like something was waiting and watching.At some point, I turned to the other side of the bed, pulling the blanket closer to myself, but it didn’t help.Nothing did.Every time I closed my eyes, the same thought kept repeating in my head.What was he about to say?Morning came anyway like nothing happened.Like yesterday didn’t exist. The house returned to its usual rhythm filled with footsteps, voices and movements.Distant sounds from the kitchen,low conversations from the staff.Everyone going about their normal duties except me.I stepped out of the room slowly and made my way toward the staircase.My fingers brushed lightly against the railing as I walked.My mind was still clouded. I kep
