The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 15: Hold on, is that Ethan?
Khloe Ferguson got into the car, her eyes avoiding Arthur's gaze. His presence brought her a sense of peace and comfort and she couldn't explain why, and neither could she deny it. The drive to the cemetery was silent, but as they drove away from it, Arthur cleared his throat and spoke. “This may sound personal but can I ask you something?” Her eyes guarded as she turned to him. “Sure. What is it?” “I'm not trying to intervene into your personal life and it might sound strange but.. are you in sort of trouble or perhaps, danger?” Arthur asked. Her heart rate increased, she doesn't know why but… “no it's fine. I'm perfectly fine. Why would you think I'm in trouble?” she said, trying to brush it off. “Well. You weren't being too quiet about it. I overheard you say something and what I could make out of it was that you were in some trouble… I don't want to get the wrong idea,” Arthur said. “Drive home. I can't go to work,” Khloe said to him and he nodded. Khloe leaned backwards

Lucas and Emily Ferguson walked into the building, their luggages in their hands. They had taken a two weeks break, say vacation. “I'm exhausted, a little bath will sooth me” Emily said as she turned the knob. They stepped in to see Khloe curled up on the floor sobbing. “Khloe?” Lucas called her name and she raised her head. Her face was pale and the dry tears were evidence. “Dad?... I don't know how and when I fell asleep” she said, trying to get up. “Why are you crying? Is something wrong?” Emily said in a very sweet voice. Khloe felt disgusted by the sound of Emily's voice and was about to get up and leave. “Khloe what's going on?” His voice, sweet but gentle. “You're crying and shaking, did something happen while we were away?” Lucas asked. “No. Nothing happened. I didn't know you guys would come back this early,” she said. “I did inform you,” Lucas pointed out. “Yes, you did. Excuse me, I'll be in my room” she said dragging her feet but stopped on her tracks when Luca
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 17: Help!?!, no thank you!
Khloe Ferguson rolled out of the bed and sneezed. “Is someone talking about me?” She asked rhetorically. She got up and checked her phone. "Ah, 12:47 AM! No wonder I'm so tired," Khloe thought, rubbing her eyes as she got up to use the restroom. She had cried herself to sleep and was up way too late, lost in thoughts and worries. The sneeze had startled her, making her realise how late it was. She yawned and stretched, deciding it was finally time to get some snacks as she hadn't eaten. She walked out of her room and to the grave night snack. On her way to the kitchen, she heard mumbling sounds from Kelly's room and wondered why she was up. She pressed her ears against her door to hear what she was crying too. The sibs grew louder and Khloe decided to open the door, revealing Kelly crying on the phone. “Kelly? What's wrong?” Khloe asked, concerned about her tone. She walked closer to her crippled elder sister and sat beside her on the bed. “I.. Matt broke up with me,” she said, s
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 18: Marry me
“Marry me…” as the words escaped from his lips, Khloe was beyond shocked to speak. “Is he actually proposing to me? What kind of psycho proposes to a girl he just met?” All forms of thought ran through her head, not being able to fathom any also, not able to speak out her thoughts. She still sat frozen unable to talk or move her muscles, like she had suddenly gone paralyzed. “These are the exact words my father has always wanted me to say to the girl I meet. I just can't succumb to that.. I need time, you know,” he said, being emotional. Khloe was moved to hold his hands, she gently brushed his hands and held it. “It's alright. Parents can sometimes be like that. It's really difficult for them to but they wouldn't understand the pain and torture they're putting their children to ” Khloe said, giving him a warm and comforting smile which made his heart flutter and fireworks exploding inside of him. “I'm glad I had this discussion with you and I hope we become close later in the
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 19: Who is she?
“Don't you, Mark?” Brandon repeated his questions. “Miss Ferguson is a very beautiful woman and also really attractive but I don't like her in that manner. I admire her confidence and bravery but I'm not lustful towards her,” Arthur said, trying to sound professional as he maintained his steeze. “Oh well. I thought you did but I'm glad you answered honestly,” Brandon said, with a smile but Arthur saw through it, it was a fake smile and he knew Brandon was trying to get something out of him. His heart was still beating fast and he clenched his chest to subdue the rate but it did little. “I want you to stay away from her. Just be her driver and nothing more. I know people like you, always trying to get close with their boss just to steal from them. Mere gold diggers,'' Brandon wasn't smiling this time, his demeanour and aura became dark and sinister. Arthur almost flinched at his words but remembered who he was. “You don't have to worry yourself. I'm just here for my job, that's all
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 20: Who are you, really?
After the reunion between Arthur and his childhood friend, Kelly, who confessed her feelings to him, out of the blue. He didn't know how to turn her down so he just sent her home. Meanwhile, Khloe and Brandon were on their “tour” trying everything, every game and the likes. Although all these were going on, Khloe's mind wasn't at rest as she kept wondering what Arthur's relationship was with that girl. She kept glancing over them with this sensation, she felt mixed emotions, anger, nonchalance and frustration. Arthur seemed to have some deep secret which she couldn't unfold and for some reason, it bothered her. “Hey focus,” Brandon said, snapping her back to the present. The field had a lot of fun activities of which Brandon and Kelly were engaged in one. “We are at the shooting range next. Ready to show off those skills of yours?” Brandon asked teasingly. Khloe turned to him, wearing a bright smile on her face, pushing those thoughts of her chauffeur and his mystery girlfrien
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 21: Work with me
The buzzing sound of her alarm woke her up, she turned to where the sound came from and turned off the alarm. Khloe stretched her arms and legs before getting up to head to the bathroom, where she did her business and had her bath. Determined, she was set to go to work to conquer what life would throw at her and to solve all mysteries, including finding Mark's true identity by all means. “I'll be off to work in no time,” she said to Kelly who came down for breakfast. “So, you and Brandon. How has it been?” Kelly started, a smile curling up to her face in the form of a grimace. “Yeah, we're getting along pretty well. Turns out he's here to help the business grow,” she said, cutting a piece of meat with her cutlery and putting it in her mouth. “Are you sure? Because with what I heard yesterday, you guys seem closer than just friends,” Kelly added, squinting her eyelids. “It's not like that, Kelly. And where did you hear it.” “You're really popular after that divorce and comeback.
The Billionaire’s Catch Chapter 22: Be honest
The meeting ended abruptly and everyone went back to their respective work and duties. Exhausted, Khloe returned to her office where Brandon was waiting for her.“I've been waiting for you,” he said professionally. Khloe grabbed her seat and sat behind her desk.“Yeah, I went to make myself a nice coffee.”“Caffeine isn't good for your health," Brandon advised Khloe, and she shrugged her shoulders, gulping the hot coffee.“I've been thinking about what the chauffeur said lately and it seemed to make sense. My only problem is; how does he know so much?” Brandon reasoned, rubbing his chin dramatically. His legs were crossed on her desk and his shoes were dirtying the cleaned desk. Since Khloe was a neat freak, it irritated him but he kept quiet.“Cut it out. He said he just knew,” Khloe said, trying to brush it off.“And believe that. I have my suspicions. …”“When have you not?” Khloe asked with an eye roll.“He seemed too smart if you ask me. I've researched his background?” He asked
