Chloe Noir

"Sorry, Chloe. I really have an emergency!" After ten years of dating, my Alpha mate, Aiden Rothschild, made yet another excuse about handling pack affairs and left halfway through our candlelit dinner. Then, I saw a post by Aiden’s childhood sweetheart, Lana, on social media. In the photo, Aiden was gently holding her foot. [Twisted my ankle a little while cleaning the roof. It got better quickly, but Aiden still rushed over the moment he heard. No matter when I need you, you're always there. That's the reason I feel more blessed than any other woman!] In the past, I would’ve definitely confronted Aiden in anger, only to be scolded for being unreasonable. This time, though, I numbly finished my own meal in silence. I had promised my mentor I would soon leave for a secluded healing assignment in the Northern Territory. It wasn’t until I got in the car to leave the pack and tried to say goodbye to Aiden one last time that I received a video from Lana. It was her and Aiden playing Truth or Dare, calling each other "baby". I wiped away my tears and simply replied, "As long as you’re having fun." However, Aiden panicked. His eyes were red as he messaged me: [Chloe, why aren’t you even mad after seeing that? Do you even love me anymore?!] He tried to confront me in person, only to realize he couldn’t find me anywhere. That day, he completely broke down.

[Konten dewasa.] Chloe Carlson, 35, adalah seorang wanita menikah yang tinggal bersama suaminya yang selingkuh, Vincent Gray, dan putri mereka-Mackenzie. Pernikahannya yang gagal menyebabkan dia mengajukan cerai setelah 10 tahun, namun suaminya menolak menandatanganinya. "Aku tahu apa yang kamu inginkan Chloe, kamu menginginkan uangku setelah kita bercerai. Kamu ingin mengambil segalanya dariku dan aku tidak akan membiarkan hal itu terjadi!" Vincent menuduh. "Aku tidak membutuhkan uangmu, Vincent! Aku hanya ingin membawa Mackenzie bersamaku dan pergi!" Akhirnya, dia meninggalkan suaminya yang bajingan itu tanpa mengambil sepeser pun darinya. Dia akan mengukir jalan hidupnya sendiri dan memberikan putrinya yang terbaik di dunia. Namun, segalanya tidak berjalan baik dengan seorang ibu tunggal seperti Chloe. Sulitnya mendapatkan pekerjaan karena sudah lama menjadi ibu rumah tangga tanpa kualifikasi. Karena itu, dalam keputusasaan karena dia harus merawat putrinya, dia hanya punya satu jalan keluar. Dia menghubungi saudara iparnya, Vernon Phoenix Gray, 25, seorang playboy muda yang tidak berperasaan, yang kebetulan adalah CEO sebuah perusahaan yang sedang berkembang pesat, dan memintanya untuk bekerja di masa sulit ini. "Pekerjaan itu tidak menjadi masalah. Kamu bisa bekerja sebagai asisten pribadiku dan mengurus semua kebutuhanku sehari-hari." Vernon menyeringai dan mencondongkan tubuh. "Terutama di tempat tidur," bisiknya di telinga Chloe. Akankah Chloe jatuh ke tangan kakak iparnya yang jahat dan menjadi budak nafsunya? Atau akankah dia kembali ke suaminya yang kejam demi masa depan putri mereka? Catatan: Ada perbedaan usia dalam cerita ini, Chloe berusia 35 tahun. Vincent berusia 35 tahun. Vernon berusia 25 tahun.

Setelah mendaki sampai ke puncak gunung, aku mengalami hipotermia. Kedua teman masa kecilku yang pernah bersumpah untuk melindungiku dengan nyawa mereka malah sama sekali tidak melirikku. Yang satu sibuk mengeluarkan semua pakaian untuk membungkus tubuh Lucia, yang satu lagi sibuk menggunakan tubuhnya untuk menghangatkan Lucia. Aku kedinginan sampai penyakit jantungku kambuh. Ketika aku memohon pada mereka untuk menolongku, mereka malah langsung murka. “Chloe Winata! Kenapa kamu masih saja cemburu di saat-saat seperti ini! Kalau dingin, ya lari beberapa putaran sana!” “Setelah pulang nanti, kami akan belikan kamu 100 jaket bulu. Tapi sekarang, kamu nggak boleh rebutan sama Lulu!” Untungnya, ketika tim penyelamat tiba, aku berhasil diselamatkan meskipun nyawaku sudah di ujung tanduk. Selama seminggu aku diopname di rumah sakit, mereka tidak datang menjengukku. Dari postingan sosial media, aku baru tahu bahwa mereka sibuk merayakan pesta ulang tahun Lucia. Persahabatan belasan tahun ini sama sekali tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan senyuman seorang putri sopir. Aku pun menelepon ayahku. “Ayah, aku bersedia nikah sama putra Keluarga Januar.”

"W-Wait… what if he walks in and sees us?" I gasped as Alexander’s hands slid up my thighs, his body pressing me harder against the door. “Let him,” He let out a low, wicked chuckle, his lips grazing my neck.

Ne trouvant plus d'échappatoire, Chloé Dumont a donc passé un accord avec la mère de Lucien Bernard. Elle a fini par épouser Lucien. Pendant trois ans de mariage, Chloé était douce, obéissante, supportait tout sans jamais se plaindre. Elle est allée même jusqu'à aider Lucien — paralysé des jambes et au caractère explosif — à se remettre debout. Elle pensait naïvement qu'ils pourraient continuer à vivre ensemble, malgré tout. Mais c'était sans compter sur le retour de Jeanne Laurent, la femme qu'il avait toujours aimée. Un jour de pluie torrentielle, sans une hésitation, il l'a abandonnée, trempée et misérable, pour aller chercher Jeanne. Par la suite, il a inventé un déplacement professionnel… alors qu'il emmenait Jeanne à un concert. Pire encore, il l'a ramenée chez eux, flirtait ouvertement devant Chloé… Déçue encore et encore, Chloé a fini par prendre une décision : divorcer. ... La prochaine fois que Lucien recroisait Chloé, c'était à une soirée mondaine. Son ex-femme — autrefois terne et insignifiante — portait une robe de haute couture, elle était rayonnante, gracieuse, d'une élégance à couper le souffle. Mais ce qui le rendait fou de jalousie, c'est qu'elle ne le regardait même plus. Elle souriait à un autre, riait doucement dans ses bras. Il l'a coincée dans un coin de la salle, le regard noir : « Chloé, qui t'a permis d'être avec un autre homme ? » Elle l'a giflé sans hésiter : « C'est qui ce chien qui me colle ? Dégage, ou je porte plainte pour harcèlement sexuel ! » ... Chloé déménageait dans un nouvel appartement et faisait la connaissance d'un voisin calme et bienveillant. Cet homme s'appelait Xavier Marchand. Il lui apprenait à faire confiance, à s'appuyer sur quelqu'un. Avec lui, elle devenait presque une enfant qu'on protège. À chaque obstacle, il était là, toujours présent, solide comme un roc. Leurs rendez-vous, ses déclarations, la demande en mariage, même les moindres détails du mariage… Xavier s'en occupait, tout était pensé pour elle. C'est là que Chloé comprenait : Être aimée, chérie, portée dans le creux de la main par quelqu'un… c'est ça, le vrai bonheur.

« Quelques instants suspendus dans le temps, quelques instants durant lesquels elle veut croire que tout est encore possible, mais elle voit l’avion s’éloigner sans qu’il l’ait rejointe. Un cri strident déchire le silence, son propre cri sans doute, puis le noir. Le noir absolu. Combien de temps est-elle restée allongée là, en plein soleil, abandonnée de tous ? »

I was sitting at the police station. My landlord scolded me harshly and pointed at my nose. Out of nowhere, my mother called and berated me mercilessly. “Chloe went to your place and disappeared! Did you lose her?!” “I know you’ve had grudges against me and your brother all these years, but how could you take it out on your niece?” In my previous cycle, when my mother told me Chloe was missing, I panicked and searched for her everywhere. Instead of helping, my mom and brother’s entire family dragged me to court without hesitation. I could not understand it. Chloe disappeared on her way to my place. How was that my fault? I begged the police to clear my name and review all the surveillance footage in the city. But the footage showed Chloe arriving at my door that day, and I opened the door for her. After that, she was gone, as if she had vanished into thin air. I stared blankly at the footage of her hopping cheerfully into my apartment. I had no way to explain myself. My sister-in-law lost it. She was convinced I had killed Chloe and threw boiling oil at my face in a fit of rage. I ended up in the hospital. I was disfigured and completely crushed, both physically and emotionally. No matter how hard I tried, I could not recall ever opening the door for Chloe. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Chloe disappeared.
