**CHLOE**I sat up immediately. “What happened to Dad?” I asked Lily anxiously.“Robert had him arrested and beaten up. I think you should just come home.” She replied.My goodness, Robert again!“I will. I hope it's not serious, though. And how's Dad holding up?” “He's holding up well; he has received treatment already," she responded. "But... you know, I won't be able to look after him because of work.” “I understand. Take care of dad till I come.” "Sure," she murmured, and then I hung up.My heart sank. Poor dad; Robert keeps taking it out on him.“What happened?” Jeffrey asked, concern etched on his face.“Uh… it’s my dad,” I replied, trying to steady my voice.“Is he ill?” He inquired, concerned.No, it's your fucking brother who's out for me and my family.“Yes, he is.” I lied.“Is he on meds?” He asked.“Yes, he is,” I said, standing up. “I need to go see him.” “I’ll have them get my jet ready,” he said, pulling out his phone.I would have refused, but it's Dad's health we'

**CHLOE**He looked shocked; it seems he wasn't expecting my reply. Well, that makes two of us; I wasn't expecting it either.“They came to the house?” He asked, his brow furrowed and his lips pursed in concern.“Well… No… It seems he went out late at night and was attacked.” I stuttered.“Have you reported this to the cops?” He asked.Phew… “Yes, Lily has.” I lied. “They'll let us know when they find something.” I added quickly to prevent him from firing more questions at me.“Good. I'll get them to hasten up with the investigation.” He offered.“No,” I blurted out, and he raised his brows, surprised. That came out too fast.I quickly walked over to him and held his hands. “I mean, I don't want you to bother about it. The investigation would be smooth, and if it's not, I'll be sure to ask for your help,” I said softly.“Alright, that's fine.” He agreed, and I disengaged my hands from his.I went to the kitchen to make Dad's soup. When I was done, I took it to his room. “Dad!” I call

**CHLOE**She was crying now.“I’m so sorry, dear,” her dad throated. “I know what I did was wrong, but if I had another chance, I'd do it again.”“Why?” She choked out in between sobs. “Why wouldn't you regret it?”How did Richard miss this in the background check, though?I remained silent, my jaw clenched. I really don't know how I should feel. I turned around and walked back to the car, their choked sobs echoing behind me.I got into the car. “Drive,” I said to George.“Sir, did you get your wallet?” He asked.“Just drive, George.” I demanded, and George kept his eyes on the road.**CHLOE**I pinched myself hard, but nothing happened. I really wish this was just a dream."Yes, I don't,” Dad choked out. “I got to put food on the table; I got to keep my girls clothed with a roof over their heads. What more could I ask for?” He took a breather to compose himself. “The joy on your face when you thought you had gotten a scholarship was... priceless. I wouldn't trade it for anything,”

**CHLOE**I scoffed internally. “Oh, you should have let me know.”“You can bring my wallet when you're coming back,” he retorted, ignoring my statement.He is acting unusually cold. “Yes.” I mumbled.“I'll have the jet pick you up when you're ready to come back,” he offered.“Thank you,” I murmured, and then hung up.**JEFFREY**My phone beeped, and I swiped to pick up the call. “Hello,” Richard’s voice rang out over the receiver.“I see you had a great time last night,” I said sarcastically. “I’m so sorry, man,” he said."So, who's she?” I asked.“No one serious, just some random chick,” he chuckled nervously.“Random chick?...”I wouldn't push it; he'll probably tell me when he's ready. “Yeah, man,” he insisted. “What were you saying about Chloe?” He added quickly.“Well, her father smuggles cigarettes.” A beat of silence followed. It seems he was still trying to process what I had said.“You've got to be kidding me! Are you still with her?” He asked.“No, I needed some time to

**CHLOE**“So you're Mrs. Blakes?” She cooed, and I laughed.My heart sank, realizing I'd lie to her about my relationship with Jeffrey too. We’d lost contact after college, but she is still like a sister to me.“So you're Jeffrey’s cousin?” I asked, still surprised.“Cuz, how did you meet someone like her?” Rachel asked, approaching us. Disgust was evident on her face.“She's my college bestie,” Audrey cooed excitedly, pinching my cheeks, and I smiled.“Ugh, I can't,” Rachel said, walking away.Audrey looked a bit surprised. “Are you having problems with her?” “Well… She has been picking on me since I came here.” I said.“Pay no attention to her. Rachel is like that sometimes; it's probably her drinking and smoking getting the best of her.”Mary cleared her throat. I had forgotten she was still standing there. “I’ll take my leave now, ladies. You can always call if you need anything,” she said and then left.“You have to tell me everything that's going on in your life! How did you a

**CHLOE**I was starting to enjoy this a bit too much. Laura looked like she might pee herself; tears welled up in her eyes. “I didn't mean for that to happen.” Her voice was low and soft.Wow. Laura? Speaking like this? Her voice, which was usually so sharp, was now soft as silk. I laughed internally. I never imagined seeing her like this, not ever, and certainly not so soon.“You didn't mean for this to happen, yet you went as far as announcing to the media that you two were getting married.” Audrey growled.Tears had started streaming down Laura's face, but Audrey didn't stop; she was really out for her. “I don't know how desperate a person can be to go to these lengths… Desperado.”Ooouuu… I took a sip of the wine and winced. I couldn't let anyone notice how much I liked this. A satisfied smile played on my lips—finally, some payback.Just then, Robert stood up and thundered, "Audrey, that's enough!” He slammed his hands against the table. “Sit down!”I rolled my eyes. He'd been

**JEFFREY**I went for a check-up yesterday. The doctor said I should gradually start remembering things, but I have no memories of her yet. He advised me to give it time, assuring me that my memory would definitely return. However, I still can't shake the feeling that she's hiding something, and it's driving me crazy.I bought her a new ring. I hated the one she was wearing—the one I supposedly gave her. What was I thinking?I was heading to her room now; I had just heard her and Audrey retire for the night. I knocked, but there was no response.Was she sleeping already? She’d just gone in; no way did she fall asleep that fast. I knocked a few more times, and then she appeared at the door, still fully dressed. For a moment, I’d thought that she might be in the shower.“Hey,” she whispered nervously, blocking the doorway and creating a small opening to speak through.“I hope you weren't already sleeping?” I asked.“Uh, no, I wasn't, she stammered, nervously shifting her weight from o

**JEFFREY**My mind reeled. This was crazy, but my body reacted instinctively. I kissed her back, covering every inch of her lips with mine. My hands roamed her body, stopping at her breasts and fondling them.She stood up abruptly again, “Sorry Jeffrey,” she whispered, and then hurried off to her room.Fuck!I raked my hands through my hair. I stood up. My fists clenched, and I punched the cabinet. Not again!I ran my palms over my face. She kisses me first and then decides to do this?**CHLOE** I entered my room and made sure to lock the door immediately. When I heard Robert shut my room door, I had to stand up or risk him seeing Jeffrey and me together like that.Pressing my fingers against my lips, I remembered how his lips had covered them, and I smiled.I got out of my clothes and then took a quick shower. When I was done, I threw one of my nightgowns on.I let out a relieved sigh as I sank into my bed, the memory of what happened earlier replaying in my mind. I bit my botto
