After half an hour of doubting and contemplating my words, I finally gave in to my judgemental conscience and walked upstairs. I paused a few centimeters away from Chloe’s door, and from that distance, I could hear the stifled sound of crying and sniffling. “Look what you’ve done!” I chastised myself before quickly walking forward. After a deep inhale, I raised my fist and knocked on her door. At the same instant, the sounds that I once heard ceased as after two minutes of standing in silence the door finally swung open and before me was Chloe. Her eyes were swollen and she had smeared mascara beneath her eyes. But despite the rough appearance, she still had a bright smile on her face. “Is something the matter?” She inquired in a soft, barely audible voice. She was doing her best to not speak much, one slip and I was certain her voice would crack. “I..I…wanted to know if you’re doing alright.” I stammered before forcing a weak smile on my face as well. She chuckled and tilted her h

CHLOE’S POV “Chloe. I won't lie to you, I'm not in love with you. ” I could still hear it in my thoughts as it taunted me. It broke me and shattered me into pieces. I knew there was no coming back from such a thing. My heart bled as I remembered not seeing any hesitation in his eyes as he uttered such cruel words. It was heartbreaking and I wished I never asked. Foolish me. I was so delusional by the thought that he must have had feelings for me considering how close we were, that I never thought it through. He really meant what he said when he stated that this relationship was just a no strings attached type. There was no way he would fall in love with me. Rue, also felt saddened for me but in her defense, I at least got to know his intentions. I was merely his sex tool and not someone he loved. But why? Why did he go through so much trouble in my past few days, just for me? It was something I tried to make sense of but still, nothing. If he didn’t love me as he had claim, why ri

Descending for dinner, a frown etching itself onto my face, I grappled with the unsettling news heard earlier. Alistair's impending marriage hit hard, a stark indication of his apparent disregard, never bothering to share this significant development. It just shows how much he never loved me but had pretended to like me.I could understand not being in love with me but why didn’t he inform me about it? He had no reason to hide it from me as we weren’t actually dating or anything like that. I was merely his tool for sexual pleasures and I was living under his mercy so he owed me nothing.Regret gnawed at me over tearing the card. Without questioning Alistair, I assumed his brother wanted it confidential. The urge to confront Alistair tugged at me, but I refrained, fearing it could backfire. Any mistake might lead him to lash out, endangering my mother's treatment.Sounds of clanking from the dining area signaled Alistair's presence. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw him eati

Alistair’s Pov Meticulously adjusting my tie before the dressing mirror, I briefly glanced at my reflection. The change in me was evident, but it wasn't a positive transformation; rather, it was a result of my grandfather's arrangements taking a toll on me. Unfortunately, I found myself in a situation where going against these arrangements would mean risking everything. The phone on the dressing table buzzed, and I cast a glance at it, seeing Jayden's name on the caller ID. Picking it up, I answered while walking towards the window. "Alistair, you need to come to the hospital, and fast," Jayden urged, his tone carrying an urgency that made my brows furrow. In that moment, thoughts of one person flooded my mind. "What happened?" I questioned, the hesitation in Jayden's response deepening my frown. Unable to contain my frustration, I yelled, "WHAT HAPPENED?!" "It's Chloe's mum," he finally responded, the anxiety evident in his tone. My heart raced as I braced myself for the worst wh

Sitting down there, I sighed as soon as she had gone out of the office. I sighed, realizing the gravity of my actions. What had I done? Rejecting her had likely shattered an opportunity, and now, I braced myself for the inevitable repercussions she would undoubtedly unleash upon me.Grandfather would undoubtedly be disappointed. This deal held immense potential gains for him, and it was regrettable that I became the chosen suitor. My brother would have been a more fitting match for her, yet there must be a valid reason for his exclusion.Similar to me, Grandfather had used my brother as leverage to secure wealth and alliances, and he was set to wed one of his friend's daughters. Strangely, my brother didn't seem opposed to the idea. In fact, he appeared to genuinely like the chosen girl, who, truth be told, was a striking beauty."Oh well, might as well hand over the company myself," I muttered, leaning back in the chair, the untouched cup of coffee sitting on the table.Appetite lost

Pouring out some wine for myself, I settled into the recliner, massaging my temples before downing the wine in one go. I hadn’t informed Chloe yet; facing her with this news would likely only breed resentment that could last a lifetime, something I couldn’t afford.Pouring another glass, I gulped down its contents and repeated the action five times until I felt a bit tipsy. The situation was becoming increasingly troublesome, and the absence of a call left me wondering about Amelie's actions. Had she informed her father, or worse, had something terrible occurred in the aftermath? The uncertainty fueled my restlessness.Snatching up the phone on the table, I dialed her number and waited. It rang, but instead of her picking up as expected, the call abruptly ended. She was avoiding my calls and showed no inclination to return them. I attempted to call her twelve times without success, regretting the words I had uttered to her at the office. The weight of the situation pressed down on me

A week laterCHLOE’S POV"Boss wishes to see you," a stoic-looking guard declared, but I met his gaze with a look of utter disgust.A full week had elapsed since the argument, and true to his words, I had been kept under lock and key during this period. Despite the relatively short duration, it felt like an entire year had passed. Moments of desperation overwhelmed me, prompting screams of agony and pleas to be set free, yet my cries fell on deaf ears as they callously ignored my pleas."To hell with your boss," I defiantly retorted. The guard approached with a displeased frown, and anticipating a stinging slap, I tightly shut my eyes. However, to my surprise, his rough hand gripped mine instead of delivering the expected blow."Stand up!" he bellowed, and I flinched at the command. Realizing any attempt to resist would be futile, I surrendered to the inevitable. Without resistance, he forcefully pulled me upright. "Now, move!" he ordered, propelling me forward with a sense of urgenc

The morning arrived, marked by the rhythmic sounds of footsteps that roused me from my slumber. I peeped to see Rue, gathering some worn clothes for laundry. A smile adorned her face when she noticed me, and I reciprocated the gesture before she walked out. I sat up, tossing the duvet aside, and stretched. Locating my footwear at the bed's edge, I slipped my feet into them and stood up. The urgency to prepare for departure lingered, prompting me to grab the crumpled black card I had discovered in the garden.The card was crumpled, but thankfully, the numbers were still discernible. I planned to sneak out when an opportunity presented itself or perhaps make a call to him, seeking assistance. Leaving the mansion without Alistair's knowledge seemed impossible, and I needed a careful strategy.Approaching the window, I pulled the curtains aside, my gaze scanning the surroundings. A raised brow signaled my surprise – Alistair's car was conspicuously absent from the premises. The possib
