The Stranger He Became Chapter 17
Chloe's memory teased her with fragments of familiarity as she tried to recall where she had heard the name before. She searched her memory for a face, a place, or even a voice that could help her remember the context in which she heard the name."Let him in," she said.Kayla nodded, and soon the door swung open, revealing a familiar figure draped in a sophisticated gray tuxedo suit that hugged his broad shoulders and tall frame.A charming smile spread slightly across his face.As soon as Chloe caught a glimpse of his face, her memory didn't fail her, as she recognized the man who had saved her from the dark, lonely streets the other night and offered her a bed to sleep in.She had the time to study his face now - that morning, at his beautiful house, she had been too embarrassed to take more than a glimpse of his faceShe observed him intently, taking in every detail of his face like an artist painting a masterpiece. His face was carved with intricate details and chiseled to perfect

A storm brewed in Chloe's eyes as she gazed up at Kylian, her expression a tempest of anger and hurt.Kylian didn't notice the sour expression on her face. All he thought about was that Chloe had come to see him. He began to descend the stairs. "Chl-"Chloe didn't let him finish. "I'm just here to get my things. I'll be gone before you know it."Chloe could tell that Kylian was having a good time without her. The empty bottle and two wine cups resting on the bar were a glaring example. And his hastily buttoned shirt alerted her that his partner was in the room she was heading for.She brushed past him, wounded by how much he was moving on after instigating a lie so he could dissolve their marriage.Chloe deemed herself a strong woman. But she wasn't completely healed from the deep wound Kylian had caused in her heart when he served her divorce papers. As she clambered the stairs, she fought her heart from aching and braced herself for whatever she would meet in the room.Kylian had fo

Chloe felt a flutter in her chest as Max appeared at her doorstep, exuding effortless charm and style. His striped polo shirt seemed to cling to his well-defined chest, hinting at the strength hidden underneath, and his jeans perfectly complemented his casual yet attractive appearance. Despite his informal attire, he looked incredibly dashing, and Chloe couldn't help but feel a warm flutter in her stomach.Chloe, unprepared and initially hesitant to leave the comfort of her home, adorned a simple dress that accentuated her natural beauty, and gathered her hair into a haphazard bun - her signature look for lounging at home.Her eyes shifted from Max’s warm face to the small parcel in his hand. When he saw that she was looking at it, he raised it. "Chocolate ice cream," he said. "It was hard to guess the flavor you’d like, but I know every lady loves chocolate."Chloe wasn’t a lover of chocolate or ice cream, but she smiled her thanks. If ever she wanted a cup of ice cream, she would pi

Upon waking up, Chloe's mind immediately turned to the positive memories of her evening with Max, giving her a small glimmer of hope amidst her shattered dreams.Starting again was not going to be easy, but she was ready to do everything to recreate her designs just in time for the audition, which was a few weeks away.The auditioning was going to be a three-day program aimed at sifting through those who would be qualified to make it into the fashion display. It was going to be Chloe’s first time, and she was optimistic about being selected.It would be the milestone Girly Lux needed to seep further into the international market and win the hearts of investors.Her eyes moved to the brown envelope resting on the stool beside her bed, and she reached for it. When she opened it, she took out the photographs that the envelope carried. She had stumbled upon it the previous day at Kylian’s house. The first time she had seen the pictures, she flung them at Kylian, wishing not to see them ag

The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful as if it had been painted by a master artist. The air was alive with the sweet melody of birds singing in the valley, and the soft breeze caressed Chloe's cheeks. If she closed her eyes and focused, she could hear the gentle murmur of a stream as it flowed between the two towering cliffs.Chloe was dressed for adventure, wearing practical three-quarter khaki shorts and a fitted black tank top that showed off her toned arms. Her brown hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail, and she wore a sweatband around her forehead to keep her hair out of her face. She carried a hydration waist pack around her waist, the liter bottle almost empty after just thirty minutes of hiking.Max walked beside her, keeping up with her pace as they silently climbed the summit of the mountain. Ollie was a few meters down and had given up on the quest to get to the summit, attributing her inability to her convalescing state.Chloe stared at the terrain from the highes

Chloe quickly took some steps away, trying to hide her nervousness, as she went on with her questions. "So…” she began, her palms rubbing up and down her arms as she cleared her throat. “why then are you single?"Max watched her. He observed the playful dance of Chloe's eyebrow, and he was yet to know what it meant."Let’s say I haven’t found the right woman yet." He responded, his voice calm and collected, almost as if he hadn't been the same person who had sparked a fire of desire in her just moments ago. He sure had his charms that could make any woman weak at the knees, even without much effort."And what do you think of me? Another wrong woman?""You…?" Max's brows creased in a subtle expression of surprise and confusion.As soon as the words left her lips, a wave of realization washed over Chloe like a strong wave crashing onto the shore, and she regretted asking the question. The atmosphere between them had been charged with something inexplicable, and she had been momentarily

Chloe could feel the suffocating pressure of the heavy atmosphere closing in on her, like a vice grip around her chest. She came to a halt in her restless pacing, attempting to take deep breaths in an effort to calm herself down, but the anger only seemed to intensify."Chloe," Max's voice pierced through the thin fabric of her tent, calling out to her. Chloe heard him, but she didn't respond immediately. The tent was translucent, so there was no way for her to hide. "Are you okay? You left suddenly."Chloe clenched her jaw, her resolve hardening. She had had enough of this trip and all the emotions it had stirred up. She hastily gathered her things, stuffing them into her duvet bag, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall."Is something wrong? Can I come in?"With a sudden jolt, Chloe sprang up from her seated position. "Don't you dare come in here!" she yelled. Her eyes blazed with fury, as her hands balled into tight fists. "Actually, you know what? Just get the

Chloe sniffled and sat up on the bed. She knew that crying wouldn't solve anything and would only leave her with puffy eyes and a weakened immune system. She couldn't afford to miss work on Monday, especially since she needed to focus on coming up with new designs.She pushed herself off the bed, her feet hitting the floor with a dull thud. She knew there was only one place that could numb the pain she felt, and that was Stone’s.Despite the memories it held of her time with Kylian, as they both frequented the place before things went sour, she knew it was the safest place where she could numb her pain and get drunk without having to worry about being molested on the streets, thereby exposing her to another monster in the guise of a prince charming.She reached for a pair of dark shades and added some color to her lips.She was careful not to let her appearance raise more unnecessary stares than she had been getting as the newest divorcee in the city.***Emma admired the elegant red
