You call that public display of affection, checking on her ?" Liam scowled at his cheap analysis." Ok. Now tell me what you intend to do about it. "" You want her crawling and begging for your attention which you've denied her ? Liam I must confess you've got the wrong woman. Because it seems to me like she did not give a damn about your existence anymore "Liam's expressions turned ugly at his words."

I thought I still have two hours left , I exclaimed in shock, still not believing he was here." I'm not even dressed yet " As usual he only smiled at me.

Of course yes, I'm thinking of what to wear "" Let's go get you what to wear " he said and winked at me and I blinked back in surprise.

Five tailor were operating industrial sewing machines, others were either measuring or cutting fabrics.Stefan took them to his private office where he was currently working on his masterpiece. He offered them seats, he walked to the mini bar and brought a bottle of brandy with two glasses and kept them on a glass table that had an artificial flower in a vase on it ." Help yourselves, let me add some finishing touches to my masterpiece " He turned midway and looked at Chloe " Don't worry miss Adams, i will definitely make you look stunning .

She saw Liam standing at the center of the party . He was glaring at her with his ocean blue eyes. His gaze fixed on her arm hooked together with Fred .For some reason the latter wasn't surprised to see him.Chloe's jaw tightened as she inspected him silently. Many thoughts plagued her tiny brain ." What was he doing here ? 'Holding Liam's gaze she assessed his choice of dressing, he was putting on a black Italian suit that draped over his broad shoulders.Liam who was over six feet tall towered over Gwen . His aura was like the first time she met him during Rose's burial. Lethal with a touch of elegance.That wasn't something you would ignore.

" My, my, my , tsk . Look what the cat dragged in " Trisha snorted, and clicked her tongue in distaste as she circled Chloe.The latter didn't mind , neither did she acknowledge her presence . She only sipped her cocktail, her eyes trained on Liam who was been dragged around by Gwen .

" Wait a minute, this….how can this be ? "" This dress is Bryan Walker's masterpiece that he unveiled on his IG this evening. He said there's only one in the world !

Chloe ventured back into the hall where the party was being held, but she couldn't get in before two huge pairs of hands pulled her into the dark .' F*ck ! ' Chloe cursed' What's with all the grabbing tonight! 'Her eyes opened in the darkness but she couldn't see a thing .A cold shiver ran down her spine. She knew she was in the hotel building because she could hear the music from the party, but where was she exactly ?' Who pulled me in here ? 'She tried finding her way in the dark ,all her attempts were futile when she couldn't find anything in the dark .' F*ck , f*ck , f*ck, she cursed again and again when she could only feel the walls and nothing more.She understood the room was empty, But she couldn't find nor see who brought her in here .She could feel the creeps coming in as a result of the goosebumps on her skin. Odd feelings creeping into her mind made her feel uneasy . When she thought all hopes were lost and was ready to succumb to the darkness.. Click ! The lig

" What !"She breathed out instead , it felt as though she was being squeezed in a very small tight rubber tube that she even lost the energy to speak properly." Are you related in some way ?" Chloe smiled awkwardly at the absurdity he was spurting." No , you've mistaken me for someone else Mr Stefani " Chloe replied, not wanting to sound offensive.Mr Stefani's eyes narrowed at her as if to see if perhaps she was trying to hide something from him.But her pleasant smiles made it difficult for him to ascertain anything from her facial expression." I.. nevermind. " He looked behind her and saw his wife signaling him to come over ." Why don't you come inside? We are about to make a very important announcement," he said, pinching the skin between his brows , as if sensing a headache coming .Chloe raised a brow at him " Announcement? "" Yeah, I shouldn't be telling this now because it was supposed to be a general announcement. But considering you're an acquaintance of Mr Meyer… "

She has more on her plate than to think of a mere thunder.The tears that she has been holding all this while broke down the barrier holding them and rolled down her cheeks .The small drops of rain caressing her face made her hairs clung to her face Suddenly the small droplets of rain crashing on her face turned fiercer so much that her body hurt.As she looked around her everything appeared foggy and she could barely see a thing . As if on cue a car flashed its headlights at her blinding her from seeing the car or the driver.Chloe tilted her head to evade the lights , as the water droplets slid from between her long dark lashes gliding across her small face.The next thing she heard was a screech and she felt her body floating in the air. Every inch of her body shuddered and she struggled to move but what could she do in the air?Filled with a sense of helplessness and confusion, she let herself fall freely.Her body landed with a thud , colliding with the cold and watery tarred
