"Sleep well at night?" Chloe asked taking a bite of her favourite buttered pancake with a sly smirk plastered on her face. Melissa groaned hiding her face on the pillow. "Shut it now, will you, bitch? How long will you tease me with this?" Both friends were sitting in the gazebo, their favourite place. However, the word 'bitch' caught Leo's ears. Stopping his work, he threw his displeased glance at Melissa. Immediately, she bit her tongue and apologised. "I am sorry, young Mistress, for my words." Satisfied, he once again focused on his work. Melissa "....." Leaning toward her best friend, she rolled her eyes. "Seriously?" Chloe enjoyed the scene. Her heart warmed up when her little boy stood up for her. She chuckled, feeling content. Every time it was Melissa who would torment her asking about her husband's behaviour towards her. She had to stay too cautious so that nothing was spelled too stupidly and give her new content for teasing. But, today it's different. Today Chlo
No matter how much one tries to hide the truth, it never could be hide. Maybe, it would take years to come forward, but it would be in front of you just when you started thinking that your life was complete. That is exactly what happened to Chloe. In her point of view, her life was going perfectly, but God had another plan for her and the brown file came in front of her. The moment she opened it, she regretted giving in to her greed and not choosing to walk away. Because the file describes a truth she never thought Alexander would hide from her. It's the file of her real identity. The description of her real parents and how she was separated from them. However, Chloe did not see everything. When she realised the meaning of that file, she immediately closed it and slumped down on the chair behind her. Meanwhile, Alexander and Cameron also walked out of the meeting area and stopped seeing her. They saw the file in her hand and it did not take them time to understand what just happ
A few months later... Chloe twirled around in front of the mirror, looking down on the plumped figure of her fully grown ten month pregnancy. The whole family, specially under the continuous care of her husband, Chloe passed the dangerous pregnancy times and now everyone was waiting for the new member to arrive. Though it was already declared that she could not have a normal delivery due to her complications, Chloe accepted the fact and was always ready for her operation in mind. "Oh! You look so beautiful, darling!" Jessica chimed in happiness while her eyes turned teary. "I am so excited about this!" This woman was hell emotional! But, Chloe liked that about her mother. Sometimes she was crazy enough to give headaches and that was the beauty of this woman. These months Chloe has spent her most beautiful and memorable days with her mother. And the bond only grew stronger. Still, none of them spoke about the adoption or her real parents. Chloe has buried the truth for the better.
Surprised, Chloe turned around and saw a couple of steps away Alexander was standing with a light on him too! This came as a shock for her as her eyes widened and for a moment she was speechless. "Alexander..." With a bright smile on his face, he took a step forward to his wife. "Good Evening, Dutchess." Chloe didn't reply to anything. Well, basically she couldn't as she kept staring at her husband in disbelief. Her state made him chuckle, as he started taking his steps forward slowly. "A year ago, exactly on this day, I have seen you. With your little and insecure steps, you have entered my cold palace. You were scared and I was ruthless, as usual." Alexander stopped a few feet away from her now and continued with his words. "I thought I always knew what I wanted from life. And then I see your eyes, my most favourite gems in the world. At that very moment, my world turned upside down and I stood confused. Not sure anymore what to do. I started doing things I was sure that I wou
In the Evans Manor... In the hall of the well-decorated mansion, sitting, Rodger Evans. Known as a selfish businessman. Beside him, sat a twenty years old blonde girl with beauty and elated attitude. She is Anastasia Evans. His only daughter. And in the opposite, a young man in his mid twenties, Snyder Evans. Rodger's nephew and the next owner of his properties along with his daughter. Rodger's brows furrowed, enhancing his wrinkles. He is worried because of the huge loss he just encountered in his business. Such a great loss only could be removed if he is blessed with a miracle. Right beside him, stood his loyal Assistant, Damien Bradford. "Don't worry too much boss, we will recover this loss soon." He tried to assure but the glare of his boss immediately shut his mouth. "Recover my foot! This loss can't be recovered in the next ten generations! I am almost on the road!" He rubbed his face in frustration. Damien watched his boss. He has an idea, yet he does not know if that will
Chloe was startled for a moment, Hearing their words. She might not hear their last conversations, she knows the first part only. And it did not take her a second to guess the last half of it. They were discussing whom to replace Anastasia! Disgusted and distraught, Chloe wanted to deny this ruthless decision angrily, yet she chose to be polite to her master. "I can't do this master. Please forgive me." She muttered and 'spat~' A loud slap fell on her face from Anastasia. "How dare you decline Papa's order!?" She yelled at her. Anastasia wanted to slap her a few more but stopped by Snyder. "Come on Anastasia. She can make a decision for herself of course." He turned to Chloe and his eyes darkened. His eyes landed on this girl since the first day she appeared in the manor. The true epitome of beauty he has ever seen. Her curves and delicate moves. She is far away to become a maid. He even offered her once to be his bed warmer and she chose to slap him hard. This is the secret he
In the huge hall of the imperial castle, Chloe stood beside Rodger Evans. Her head was supposed to lower at him, yet she was ordered to hold her head high because she is the noble lady. "I like your daughter, Rodger." Anthony Rossi, the head of the great Rossi family, spoke as his sharp eyes landed on Chloe. "She is extremely beautiful and will be the perfect one beside my Alex." "I am honoured, Mr Rossi. My daughter is yours from now on." Rodger pushed her front by the back as she bowed at the great figure with a timid heart. "What's your name, darling?" "Ch... Chloe Isabelle." She almost stuttered and felt a hard glare behind her. Chloe knows Rodger is dissatisfied with her performance. Fortunately, the duke decided to let that slip and smiled at her. "Chloe Isabelle. A beautiful name for a beautiful princess. I like it." He announced. "We are honoured, sir. You are so humble." Rodger buttered him and Chloe hold herself from narrowing her eyes at his Fakeness. Anthony laughed.
With the decrement of their distance, Chloe felt the urge to run away. Even though his personality attracted her as if a bee is attracted to the sweetest honey, the urge of maintaining a distance from this entitled evil was stronger. Others bowed to him, including Butler Daniel. Chloe did not know what to do. So, she just stood straight instead of bowing with the actual dubiousness in her mind. Alexander walked to his General place. The head chair and sat down. Today he lost a well prepared contract to the E Shine and that turned his mood sour already. "Good Evening, young master." Butler Daniel greeted to get no reply. Yet, he did not lose his courage and continued, "Young master, this ..." He was about to introduce Chloe to him, when, "Why are you standing? Place the food for master." The man with silver rimmed glass and a rigid personality spoke to Chloe. He is Assistant Cameron. Chloe blinked a few times, startled at the sudden snap. "M...me?" She pointed a finger at herself.
