Being someone who liked to pride herself in her little strength, Chloe was really hating the fact that her illness was barely getting better. And since she refused to go to a hospital, Amir and Gabriel had her put on an absolute bed rest for a whole day with restrictions on her movement.And that made her hate the illness even more.Sniffling as she helped herself up, her mind traveled to Nathaniel who hadn't been seen in the house since Gabriel's little... confession. Or maybe declaration was a better word.Even though she always felt that she had no use for human relations, she felt really kind of sad that he did not even peep into her room once. She had some kind of expection in her that he would come at some point. But perhaps she expected too much.She was letting just two dates and a few encounters and a kiss lead her mind into thinking too much.But despite him, one thing was sure. She was really grateful to Amir and Gabriel who took turns t

A much less sick Chloe could not help but nibble on her thumb as the day grew darker with no news about Nathaniel or what had happened to him. Gabriel and Amir had rushed out of her room after the call and since then, they had not come around.With no intention of being confined any further to her bed or even to the room, she got off and made for a little box beside her bed that held her clothes. Even though she wasn't particularly sure what it was she was going to do after putting them on, she put them on anyway, hurriedly getting rid of the hospital gown.She was about to make for the door when Amir came in. With his brows going up, he asked, "Are you going somewhere?""I am just tired of this place.""And..." he moved closer, his arms folded with an amused look on his face. "Where were you going to go when you leave this place?"Chloe's steps fell backwards and until she hit the edge of the bed, she didn't stop. Almost grimacing at how ridiculou

"Rise and shine!" Chloe groaned as someone disturbed her sleeping position and had the sun in her face. Chloe felt the human presence in her room very close to her. Almost dejectedly, she opened her eyes slowly to meet Amir's which were watching her in a weird way."Amir!" She complained as she pushed him off with a force that had him on the floor in no time."Jeez Chloe..." She sat up immediately as she wondered if she had hurt him. "Why are you so violent?"Her teeth clenching her lower lip, Chloe peered from where she sat at Amir. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to.""I was just trying to wake you up," he said as he got off the floor."By staring hard at me?" she asked with a confused frown.He waved off her question. "Oh, whatever. We have work to do today Chloe, so get your beautiful ass off that bed."She immediately wore an amused look. "I know my butt is gorgeous. Ah-thank you. But don't say the word ass, it reminds me of a donkey.

"Cherise!" The man hollowed from where he was. "Come out, come out whereever you are..." he sang. "You dirty little whore. Where are you hiding? I need you to walk up to me, I need to see your face!"Chloe could manage to see everyone checking around in thier squatting position as though they knew the person he was referring to.The man whose face looked naturally lazy took on a rather mischeivious smile as he took little steps towards his right. "Cherise? Where are you Cherise? If you don't want me to blow you and I up, come out now!""Okay!" a shaky voice replied from a corner. It was the lady from earlier with the thick make-up. Slowly, she made it out, gaining a look of distaste from the man who had called her out. "Collins..." she said with a bit of tremble."Why? Why are you doing this to me? Look at you, you are dressed like a complete whore. My freaking wife is out here having fun dressed like this." His anger filled eyes roamed her short, glitter

The four stared at the tied man like angry gangsters who were scheming ways to ensure he revealed to them what they wanted no matter what.Well, Amir was more of the angry gangster. Sebastian was just getting ready to pour another bucket of water while Chloe and Nathaniel stood and waited, Chloe making sure to maintain a distance from him.Without waiting for anyone, Sebastian woke the man up with another splash of water, huger than the last one, it had the man dripping like he had just been dumped into the ocean."It is time for you to wake up Tate," Sebastian said. Chloe scrunched her nose at his name. Tate. She really didn't bother to know his name, she didn't see the need."You!" The man who had been struggling to keep his eyes open at first almost flew back on the sight of Amir.Sebastian moved a bit forward. "I can see you recognize Amir.""I- I am not going to say anything," the man warned."And I can also see you know we want
