Chloe pulled at Ollie's hand, signaling her urgency to leave."Let's go."Max was taken aback by the unfolding events. He understood Chloe's anger at his failure to call or keep her waiting, but the abrupt desire to end their relationship felt extreme. He attempted to reach for her hand, but she withdrew, fixing him with a furious glare. Then, resolutely, she marched out of the club.Max couldn't let her walk away like that without addressing the entire situation. If revealing the truth would bring her the peace she sought, he was determined to do so."Chloe!" he called out, his voice filled with urgency. He moved swiftly to catch up with her. The club's dense crowd made it difficult, with a group of girls trying to catch his attention."Want a drink?""How about a dance?"Max fought his way through the throng. By the time he emerged outside, Chloe was already stepping into her car and speeding away."Fuck!" he cursed, angrily stomping his foot. Everything was spiraling out of his con

Chloe awoke with an insurmountable headache, her head throbbing against her skull as the memories of the previous night slowly seeped into her consciousness. She recalled sitting at a corner in the club, indulging in drinks without restraint.Her stomach churned, and she hurriedly made her way to the bathroom, afraid she might vomit. Even with an empty stomach, the migraine persisted, unyielding."I promised myself I'd never get this drunk, Chloe," she murmured, reproaching herself in the mirror. Her appearance was a complete disaster. Her hair was a tangled mess, and her mascara had smudged, creating dark smears around her eyes. She imagined what Linda Kincaid would say if she saw her in such a state, and a bitter laugh escaped her lips.From the day they met, Linda had always shown her love and support. But Linda had a talent for concealing her vulnerabilities, and it wasn't until her divorce from Kylian that Chloe truly understood that."Thank goodness you're finally awake," Ollie

"The office is not responding to the email," Max muttered with frustration, stepping out of his house. The multitude of troubles seemed to be closing in on him, and now even the governor's wife had managed to find her way onto his growing list of worries."Thank you, Shirley. I'll take care of it myself," Max said, dismissing his assistant with a nod of gratitude.If he didn't have the concern of leaving Chloe alone at the gala, he wouldn't have been bothered by the governor's wife's sentiments towards him. But now, as he approached his car, the chauffeur opened the door, awaiting Max's instructions. Max slid into the plush comfort of the limo, finding a momentary respite from the chaotic world outside.He was certain Chloe wouldn't be at home. With the approaching fashion season and her tireless dedication to her designs, he had witnessed her staying up all night, pouring her heart into her work."Girly Lux," Max instructed his chauffeur, his voice filled with a mix of hope and appre

Kylian couldn't tear his eyes away as he watched Chloe gracefully interact with the reporters. She exuded an undeniable radiance, a reminder of the mistake he had made in letting her go. He felt a twinge of regret and a longing to be by her side, but he knew it was a futile desire now that she was in the spotlight once again.Emma, on the other hand, seethed with envy. Chloe's entrance had effortlessly stolen the attention that had previously been on her, and the few lingering gazes that remained were fixated on Kylian. What was it about Chloe that captivated everyone's interest?"I thought you had somewhere to be," Emma nudged Kylian, bringing him back to reality.Reluctantly letting go of Emma's hand, Kylian realized that they had posed enough for the cameras. It was time for him to mingle with the crowd and make his presence felt. He grabbed a drink from a passing server and made his way towards where Chloe was being bombarded with numerous interviews. The reporters seemed to have

She wished, even for a thousand miles away, to be closer to him. His eyes, filled with a mix of longing and remorse, locked onto hers, causing her heart to skip a beat. It was as if they were in their own private realm, where no one else existed, where their unspoken desires and emotions were laid bare.Chloe could feel the weight of their connection, the undeniable magic that still lingered between them.

Gray Stanford beamed with satisfaction as he presented his evidence to the couple. Chloe sat comfortably, nestled in Max's arms and concealed beneath a duvet that provided them with a sense of intimacy. Max's enclosed hand remained discreetly hidden, exploring the contours of Chloe's body.Chloe's gaze fixated on the photograph of the man before her. Although she didn't recognize him personally, the distinctive tattoo that adorned his neck, stretching down to his back, confirmed that he was the man they had been searching for. While all the evidence pointed towards Emma as the perpetrator, Chloe knew that without finding the tattooed man, she wouldn't be able to bring her down."How can we locate him?" she asked, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.Gray nodded, his expression focused. "I conducted extensive research on Diego. There's very little information available about him. I discovered that he served time for drug-related offenses and was on parole a few years ago. I managed t

Alejandro took a long drag from his cigarette pipe, his expression filled with disdain as Diego forcefully pushed Sofia to the floor."Estupido! You think you can escape from the mighty Alejandro Navarro?" he sneered, his voice laced with arrogance.Sofia trembled on the ground, fully aware of the terrible things Alejandro was capable of. Diego grabbed the bag beside him and tossed it at Alejandro's feet, informing him of Sofia's plan to run away to another country and start a new life.Alejandro disregarded the bag, as the gold held no significance to him. His focus was on the woman lying defenseless on the floor. She had made a fool out of him, and he intended to make an example out of her."Where is he? That wretched Carlos! It's his fault that my anger knows no bounds, and my anger is not to be trifled with."Carlos hurried into the room upon hearing his name, the scar from his previous encounter with Alejandro still visible on his face. When his eyes fell upon Sofia, a wave of sy

"...well, I think the suggestion you made at the clubhouse was a great one, Ollie, and we should start thinking of..."Chloe paused, her voice trailing off as she noticed Ollie's distracted state. There was a tension in Ollie's expression that hadn't been there before, and it concerned Chloe."Ollie?" Chloe said firmly, her hand coming down on the table with a sharp slap. Ollie jumped slightly, her attention fully brought back to the present."I was listening," Ollie responded, her voice a little flustered.Chloe studied Ollie's face, her eyes searching for the truth. She knew Ollie well enough to sense when something was bothering her."No, you were not," Chloe countered gently. "What's bothering you, Ollie? You know you can always tell me."Ollie hesitated, unsure if she should reveal the reason for her distraction. The encounter with Anthony, the man with a notorious reputation, still lingered in her mind."I...It's nothing, Chloe," Ollie replied, her voice wavering. "I didn't slee
