Chloe's povI scurried out of the car quickly without waiting for Caesar and run up the mass of stairs to the door. And when I entered the sitting room feigning anger, two pairs of eyes were on me.I felt the anger I had for Caesar dissipating slowly and it was immediately replaced by hominess. Martha was sitting on the foyer and Cherry was finishing up on making two french braids on martha's hair."Look who's home earlier today." Martha started."Uh huh." I said sarcastically as I bended down to remove my shoes. "I really need a foot massage... I feel dead." I muttered to myself."You should tell him to do that, I believe he's quite good at it." Martha winked my way. I groaned internally. The look Martha was giving me... Well it only means more than just one thing."C'mon marvelous baby...you can't keep giving me a silent treatment for that long. I'm not sorry for making you retire early though." Caesar's rich voice boomed from down the stairs that leads up to the entrance door.I l
Chloe's PovI felt some heat sipping into my body and suddenly everything around me was heightened. The light, the heat, the noise and so I squinted my eyes open.The first thing I saw was Martha's retreating figure. I groaned making her turn around."Hey, morning sweetheart?" She beamed at me brightly. I tried to respond but nothing came out. So I just smiled waving her off. There was this look on her face, it came from whichever assumptions she was making in her head, or facts."I see you had a long peaceful night." She smiled ruefully and that's when I picked the nearest pillow on the bed and threw it at her but she dodged it. Martha was too old for this games but I wouldn't have anyone else make such jokes to me. She always had good intentions for us and I loved her for that.I noticed I wasn't decent when I looked down at myself and Martha seemed to have caught it."Breakfast versus lunch is waiting for you downstairs dear." She said as she walked out the room."What?!" I shriek
Caesar's POVI've never seen Chloe Adams so enthusiastic before. She couldn't stop talking all the way to the airport and she had made Cherry laugh the whole time. Her enthusiasm was something to me, it made my insides warm and I think I loved seeing her that happy.At the airport, her eyes were everywhere, looking, searching, studying, gazing at every activity going on around. The families who had come to pick their loved ones, those who were saying goodbye, the backpackers, the luggages in the compartments... Everything.And when we had reached the airport grounds her mouth had hanged open, her eyes bulging out as she zoomed in the planes around. It was quite a sight to her and she was a beautiful sight to me. I couldn't stop looking at the fascination on her face especially when we were inside our plane."Oh my God! This is so much more than I had imagined before!" She had said in one breath making Cherry and I chuckle softly. We understood her and it wasn't even embarrassing to s
Chloe's POVI could feel heat sipping in, as if someone was holding something hot slightly above my body. That made me turn around only to be met my an intense amount of light being casted upon my eyes. Mind you, my eyes were closed. When I tried squinting one eye open, I groaned out distastefully.Wait.I slowly opened both of my eyes this time in confusion. The sun was looking down on me through the vast windows like a burning ball in the sky flashing its powerful light all around the room.And I suddenly sat upright my eyes frantically zooming around the room. I was in a panic mode, my heart was thumping so hard again my chest, anyone close could hear its beats.The room was exquisite and so big but given the state I was in, I didn't have it in me to admire the sleekness of everything, like let's say the glassy walls, the colourful chandeliers above my head, the enormous bed I was sitting on, the marble floor... And now I was sweating when suddenly the door to that room swung open
Caesar's POVThis was totally unforeseen. I didn't see this coming when I brought my Marvelous and Cherry with me to Naples.Everything was almost like a constant reminder of the so many unaccomplished businesses I had. I thought it was just a seminar but oh boy I was so wrong. It was more than just that.I had business contracts to sign, close deals, reply to emails and I even had my major stakeholders with me in that seminar and we had met prestigious people from big companies who were giving them great offers and that wasn't even the least of my problems.Now a major crisis came up when I met Natalie Portman. Natalie isn't just an ordinary girl to anyone. She's a rascal, a mean wretch... A scamp even.I met this girl years back when I was at a bad place. Everything was a muddle. That was after my parents died, a year later I had gone to Italy and I met her. We had sex more than once and to me honestly it was just sex but I didn't know she had ulterior motives. She wanted me to marr
Chloe's POV I'd missed Caesar so much. It got to a point where his post it cards were not doing it for me. He usually left a card, with a note on it telling me to have a nice day, enjoy to the fullest, he'll miss me through out the day bla bla bla...It was our third day in Naples and I think I'd felt it all, the fun, the rush, new experiences, heck I even knew how to swim like a pro. Perks of having Cherry Blossom Banley as your best friend. Yes, Cherry's middle name is Blossom, even I didn't wrap my head around it the first time I saw it on her school transcripts.I decided I'll have to wait for Caesar even if he'll come past midnight. God knows how I'd longed to see that man. It was around 9:30 p.m when we got back to the hotel room, Cherry decided to watch this series we'd started to watch together sometime back, 'Valeria'. Let me tell you that I really wanted to watch that movie too as I waited for Caesar, except along the way, something like 20 minutes into it, I was already sw
Chloe's POVAnd then I felt everything closing out on me, the cricket sounds, Caesar's voice asking me if I was okay, the soft music from the lobby, people conversing from a distance, and I felt my legs giving out on me as tears cascaded down my face.I felt my feet being lifted off the ground and before I knew it, Caesar was running up the stairs with me in his arms. I didn't try to fight it. The moment he laid me down on our bed, the adrenaline rush was back and my energy too, everything started opening up on me again, the sounds, I could see Caesar's worried face and I sat upright tears still running down my face nonstop."Chloe baby, please listen to me first." Caesar begged in his enchanting voice which only made me let out a scream."Leeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaveeeeeee!!!" His eyes bulged out yet again, Seemed like something he was getting accustomed to. Then I screamed again, "Woooooooooooooo!!! Story of my life!!!!""Marvelous." He spoke calmly taking a step towards me before I raised
Chloe's POVIt was now around 11 a.m and I'd just woken up with sore eyes since the most part of my night was filled with whys and sobs. I don't know how I'd fallen asleep but one thing I remembered was the fact that Cherry hadn't slept either. She was my good support system throughout the night and I wouldn't regret ever coming to Bronx because Bronx did give me a best friend. A sweetest one for that.I'd wondered how she'd managed to wake up earlier than me, but we're talking about Cherry Banley, nothing is too surprising with her, I should have known that by then. And the fact that she wasn't around to be seen, I wouldn't have been surprised if I found out that she'd gone after her brother.As I was brushing my teeth after taking a not so keen shower in Cherry's room, my eyes dragged themselves to the girl in front of me, in the mirror. The girl looked so defeated, sleep deprived with swollen eyes and the well rested face that always greeted me back when I looked at myself in the m
