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.Rose stood still , arms crossed and face devoid of any emotion. She was surprised at the act unfolding before her . Gwen sure knows how to play the victim and she wasn't expecting any less from her this time around . Rose's mind raced as she anticipated Marcello's reaction , he had never trusted her so it is useless to explain. It's not like she cared anyways.With Gwen's fabricated story it was certain he’d side with her. Not like she has high expectations of him. Marcello frowned in disbelief as he looked back at Rose. He had been noticing the sudden change in her behaviour. He could still hear the crisp sound of the slap she gave him the day before when he gave her the script he intended for her to memorise for the interview.He wasn't expecting those tiny fingers to have much impact.She even had the guts to tore the papers, rejecting it out rightly. But he had his ways to make her concede . He didn't come all this way to watch her
“ What was the meaning of what you just did back there. “ Rose asked , the chilling tone in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Gwen who was now taken aback by the sudden question . They both stood in front of a shut door as they were just informed that Marcello was in a meeting with someone by one of his subordinates. Standing in the hallway together with Gwen irked Rose the more . “ What ? I didn't do anything “ Gwen's reply shot through Rose like an arrow and her fingers clenched in a fist . With her back facing Gwen the latter couldn't discern the meaning of her questions considering the fact that she knew they were in it together. But not literally, because she acted out of script taking Rose unawares. it's not like she's going to fill her in on the reason why she made her follow her to the hospital. Knowing Rose , she knew she would not allow her to go ahead with her plan that's why she kept her in the dark despite the latter asking her severally why she needed her to follow
“ I found out that the assassin was his right hand man Klaus .”“ What the.. Klaus Sandoval?”“ Yeah ““ The same Klaus that approached Chloe to keep tabs on you ? ““ You've got that right “ “ You've got to be kidding me ? ““ I sent him free to show him I have nothing against Rivero and I gave him the location of Stacy Luke ( Rivero’s mother ) to back my claim.But seeing as he’s still bent on ruining everything around me was when I knew that whoever was misleading him is really up to no good.And it broke my promise for the first time, so I began my investigations. At first , I wasn't getting any leads till three years ago . I found out that the orphanage Chloe was sent to was owned by the Stefanis and the foundation running the affairs of the orphanage was handled by their daughter Gwen Stefani . The Stefanis are not really that wealthy until after they acquired the orphanage , then things turned around for good and they became wealthy overnight.I'm yet to put the pieces toge
“ Really ? “ It was Liam's turn to be bewildered and his tone says it all.Blaze merely let out a laugh , for Liam to scoff with a roll of his eyes ,to the surprise of Blaze.Things are starting off well for him and this is the sign of it.Blaze smiled , inwardly praising himself for being able to lighten up the mood .Drawing his attention back to the glass he held , shaking his hands slowly he watched as the liquid danced like it’s experiencing a storm, a complete picture of how he's feeling inside .Bringing the glass to his mouth he gulped the whole liquid ,the burning feeling from his tongue down to his throat and into his stomach , giving him a satisfying feeling.And that's just what he needed at the moment .“ You know I thought I was doing the right thing keeping my real identity from Chloe . I found out about the orphanage where she was kept before she was adopted by Chester the same day Rose resurfaced making me wonder why ? But all I could tell was that he did that to d
Chloe's words kept ringing in Blaze’s mind like a recording , making him restless.coupled with the recent happenings he couldn't help but see sense in what she said.Truly , Rose’s disappearance wasn't just any minor case but had strings attached to it; her reappearance barely a month when Chloe returned proves it all. As much as he hates to admit that Chloe was right when she said everything points down to that night.The night the Luke’s clan was almost wiped out .‘ If the three powerful clans were gathered together that night then who's likely to be the one that attacked ? ‘ thought Blaze, rubbing his chin absentmindedly. He didn't know much about Liam's family’s past. For all he could tell Liam's mother got married to their father when he was still in high school . And he didn't get to know much about Liam because he never got to see him whenever there’s a family dinner.Typical Liam.When enquired about him by Blaze's father , Liam's mum will wave it away saying he's busy
Ever since the disappearance of Rose, Chloe always pictured the day they will meet again because she has a strong feeling Rose was still alive .Seeing Rose now , she couldn't express the emotion she was feeling. Because the person standing before her wasn't her best friend. Her eyes were empty , they housed no emotions . Like someone who has thrown away all the will to live .She's been hearing about Rose's return but seeing her up close was a different issue altogether.Chloe felt panicked and scared not for herself but for the fact that Rose is no longer who she used to be. She tightly clenched her fist. She was willing to pay any price for her best friend to be back .Rose can choose to slander over and over again if she feels like it and she won't budge if that will make her better . Even if it means giving up her acting career , she owes Rose that much.Seeing Rose with Gwen sends her the wrong message , making her believe that something was definitely off. The red warning sign
