Let go of me! argh! Chloe butt hit the bed hard , she didn't understand where she went wrong she attended the wedding as promised.
" I attended the wedding as you required, what do you want from me now ! what ?" Are you pretending to be innocent, huh? or you like to be forced?" I told you clearly, this is your debt , I will let you pay one by one " He pointed out nonchalantly,Chloe's eyes closed in despair and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably " Sorry Rose I didn't know it would turn out like this".-------------Two Months AgoChloe was in her bedroom, her face twitching in pain. She couldn't sleep because of a stomach ache. She can't shoot the Ad in this situation, and she can't afford to offend her agent instead.she was at loss for ideas, suddenly she reached for her phone on the bed beside her. There's only one person that could help her now , Rose Switching the phone on she dialed her best friend's number for the latter to pick on the second ring." Hello best, how are you feeling?" Rose's voice rang out through the phone." Rose, it's getting worse, can you do me a favor"" Anything for you best"" Rose , it's about the AD I am supposed to shoot in Spain tomorrow, I can't go there like this, will you go for me best" Chloe pleaded and pouted her mouth. Going straight to the point ." Best, you know the climate situation in Spain , by this time of the year, " Rose reasoned out." I know best , just go. It's also the best season to go to Spain. I always go there, and also director Shaw couldn't find someone else, and it's a rare chance ! Please go for me ! , she pleaded desperation could be noticed in her tone."Well, you know I can't say no to that face of yours, but it's on one condition"" Anything Rose , just name it"" Promise me you will see a doctor after this call ", She warned." I will Rose, I've called Daisy , she's on her way here, now pack your luggage or else you will miss the flight ", Chloe said happily.Chloe ended the call and heaved a sigh of relief " what will I do without you bestie, I love you loads" She said and kissed her phone when the call ended .. After a few hours' nap, Chloe went downstairs to her living room to watch the television after grabbing some cookies from the kitchen. walking around the mini stairs, she picked the remote and switched on the television .But the news that was broadcasting live caught her attention." At 4:50pm , Sept 3rd a plane that left the country to Spain crashed, with 200 passengers on board , eight seriously injured victims have been rescued so far , but the heavy fire makes it difficult to continue the search for other possible victims still alive "Bam!The plate of cookies she held fell to the floor with a loud sound and shattered, " That's Rose's flight , right?" She asked no one in particular and got no response in return," No , it can't be . it can't be Rose's flight " She picked her phone from the sofa to check the flight ticket her manager sent to her the day before for reality to slap her hard in the face . Chloe tugged her hair hard, scattering her once arranged bouncy curly hair, hot tears streamed down her face and she cried uncontrollably sprawled out on the fluffy carpet in her sitting room. The vibration from her phone got her distracted from her cries for a minute, she stretched her hand and picked up the phone," Chloe, are you okay ! where are you?I heard what happened to Rose " Daisy's voice rang out from the phone. " I -i-am-no-t okay , Daisy, I-am- not " Chloe said in between sobs ." I know Chloe, believe me I understand how you feel right now she's equally my best friend too . Stay put and wait for me alright, I will be there in an hour time "" Hum" Chloe nodded in response. Chloe, Rose and Daisy are three college best friends, after graduation Daisy secured a job in one of the country's best Tech companies as their Financial Manager hence making it difficult for her to link up with the girls as usual, while Rose and Chloe ventured into acting making them the best of friends among the three.Chloe cried again remembering their days as college students as memories of their lives flashed like scenes in her eyes, she cried and cried till she dozed off.The sound of her door bell woke her up from her slumber, she dragged her feet to the door and unlocked for Daisy's face came into view and reminded her of the day's incident, she started crying again this time around she sobbed without holding back she leaned on Daisy's shoulder staining her jacket with her tears, Daisy who didn't mind hugged her back, and caressing her hair loving ." It's okay dear, cry all you want dear ,I'm here for you " she said soothingly to her , holding back her tears as well . She didn't want to cry in front of Chloe because there's no other person to console them if she were to cry along with her. Hence she took the job of a comforter and stroked Chloe's back lovingly.Hearing Daisy, Chloe took it as her cue and wept harder this time letting it all out on Daisy's shoulder.A week passed by after the crash.The Dawkins couldn't find the body of their daughter but they found the gold chain her grandmother gifted her on her twentieth birthday. Which confirmed that their daughter boarded the plane indeed and was among the victims the raging fire burnt beyond recognition or perhaps turned into ashes.Chole stood at a corner, and watched Rose's empty coffin lowered into the earth, cries filled the air , Mrs Dawkins , Rosie's mother was unconsolable she cried and rolled on the floor of Rosie's grave .Chloe dropped her flower and made to work out when Mrs Dawkins dragged her back and slapped her hard on her cheeks.Bam ! give me back my daughter, she cried and held Chole's dress.But Chole was forlorn, she couldn't talk nor free herself from Mrs Dawkins grip , She equally was grieving with them or maybe more than them. But she only bent and apologized " Am very sorry Mrs Dawkins' ' she said and turned to leave. A man was standing behind her dressed in a forma
End of flashback* " Are you crying?", he asked her with a frown on his face , angrily he stood up, ' forget it I don't want to force myself on her , the fun is ruined ' he mumbled to himself. putting on his shirt and walking towards the door.This place is where you will live in the future and you are not allowed to leave without my permission" in case you will bring shame to my family. Bam! The door shut behind him after his departure , leaving a cry mess behind. ..... In a vip lounge of a popular bar ." You wanna know the best way to take revenge on a woman ? , then you should destroy everything she has, make her your toy and torture her every day, give her a shred of fake hope to keep her alive, while suffering her every minute."" Come to think of it , you don't love Rose at all. I thought you were just kidding when you promised to marry her , but why are you so serious about it now ? you married that woman just to take revenge on her ? Fred, Liam's best friend asked."
The airport was bustling with noises of people checking in at the terminal , Chloe parked her car and waited at the entrance of the airport for Liam's brother's arrival. A group of fangirls rushed past her, almost knocking her down with their numbers,whispering and giggling to themselves. Dusting herself , Chloe couldn't help but remember when she was still an actress how her fans come out in their numbers to welcome her whenever she comes back after shooting a movie outside the country, now those days are gone . She couldn't help but wonder when she would reclaim her lost glory." Sigh! Who knows the celebrity that came back to the country to attract this large number of fans, especially girls. Maybe the celebrity is a male , but who might it be ? ". Chloe wondered , shaking the thought out of her head she concentrated on the reason that brought her to the airport in the first place. Chloe saw two high school girls with a cardboard sign that says ' Welcome home Blaze Reigns " ,
Blaze Reigns was still signing autographs with a fake smile plastering on his lips, as much as he wants to rebuke the fan girls he has to keep up with the facade to save face and maintain his place in the eyes of the media as the city girl's heartthrob.He was always on the verge of losing his cool when he noticed a gorgeous lady making her way towards him with measured steps,her long hair dancing in the wind and her dark shades covering her eyes that he presumed would be as beautiful as her." Wait a minute I recognize that face from somewhere" Blaze muttered to himself shaking his head a bit .Chloe walked through the crowd with her dark shade on concealing her face from the crowd, fortunately for her the crowd gave way for her to work through, " maybe my aura of fame is still intact " she thought. After her successful breakthrough she came to stand beside Blaze who was obviously staring daggers at her but she turned a blind eye to it." Hello, am Joanna Gaines, Blaze manager and han
Chloe's face blanched white when four men stepped out from each of the cars, making them eight in number. She hid behind Blaze's back . For the eight men to circle them" Long time no see Blaze Reigns," came the one with a husky voice whose cheeks had a large scary scar that trailed from from his left eye down to his lips,from his voice one can tell easily he's the leader of the gang." How long has it been, two days? It seems you guys miss me a lot to be chasing me round the whole world, scorpion " Blaze replied nonchalantly , his face squeezed with a frown when he felt someone pulling his skin so rough as if she wants to separate his skin from his body Chloe's face turned darker when she heard Blaze's sarcastic comments, she couldn't help but pinch him really hard on his arms while hiding behind his back . As if to remind him they were outnumbered and it's not the right time to be cracking jokes. Scorpion chuckled lightly " we can't help it Blaze,we have our orders to bring you in
Back at the Reigns mansion, Chloe who was still standing after apologizing to Liam for endangering his brother's life rubbed her foot against the other . it's been thirty minutes after she tendered her apologies but Liam is yet to give her a reply and her legs are beginning to ache her badly. After much contemplating she decided to apologize further, maybe her earlier apologies weren't accepted. " Mr Liam , I'm deeply sorry for endangering your brothers life , I will be more careful in the future"Chloe said and bowed her head to show how sorry she was." There won't be—" Liam trailed off when her phone rang . Grin ! Grin!! Grin !!! Chloe fished out her phone from her pocket and answered the call." Hello "" Hello, am I speaking with Chloe Adams ?"" Yes '" There's a man at our bar with the name Chester Adams he is owning us $ 470,000 he told us to call you to clear up his debt "" 470,000 what ? " Where do I get the money from, as a matter of fact I don't have it" she replied hon
Chloe was excited when she heard the manager of the imperial club tell 'her you are hired' she couldn't believe her ears , she thanked the manager profusely and walked out with one of the waitresses that was supposed to show her around and brief her on her duties." I still can't believe they will hire someone at such short notice, I must say you're a lucky one" Anita said to Chloe." What can I say I am indeed lucky " Chloe replied knowing deep down that Daisy's brother Harry put in a good word for her." Let's go to the changing room ,so you can change into your uniform for the day " she said and led the way to the changing room for Chloe to follow suit. Displeasure showed visibly on Chloe's face when she saw the waitress uniform she was going to wear , she didn't hesitate to voice it out ." What in the heavens name is this ? " " What ?" Anita asked confused " This cloth is too revealing for me to wear am supposed to be a waitress not a stripper" " Oh the cloth?You know this is
In the vvip room 1 of imperial clubFred Meyer, with his leg crossed and a lighted cigarette in hand with dense smoke emitting from the cigarette, opposite him, also sat Liam Reigns of the Reigns conglomerate and his leg crossed over the other . For some days now, since the news of Rose's death Liam has been busy looking for clues to prove that Rose is still alive but all his hopes crashed when they found Rose's favorite Gold necklace in the crash . For the first time in his life Liam felt inferior because he couldn't fulfill the promise he made to a dying woman on her sick bed to marry and take care of his daughter. " Loosen up man , you've avenged Rose by trapping her killer in a loveless marriage" Fred chided his friend whose face was unreadable at the moment.Chloe walked into the room and announced her presence with smiles " your wine is here sir " " Look your wine is here cheer up " Chloe's smile faltered suddenly when her eyes fell on Liam whose eye's were closed
