Chloe Montclair

"Why do you two look stunned? Don't tell me you had no idea of what's going on?."

"Of course, we don't. If we do then, we wouldn't be this shocked?." I said. 

"Well, Mr. Kenneth asked to make provisions for you two since Christiana here is your friend... You won't be lonely in the room alone. I thought, you two talked about it before leaving?."

"No, we did not." I answered.

"So, you're saying that both Chloe and I can stay in the beautiful room?." Tiana asked. 

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me." She said to us and left. 

"Chloe, I swear I love you so much!" She exclaimed in an excited tone as she jumped on me. 

"Hey! Don't kill me. I have no power to carry you, you crazy woman!" I chuckled and smack her back. 

I was only kidding though. She does not weigh at all. 

"Whatever!" She hissed and rolled her eyes making me chuckle again. 

"Chloe, tell me what's going to happen next? Am I dreaming?." 

"No, I don't think so. Come on, let's go check the room out." She held my hand and drag me to the room. We both got in and opened our mouths in awe. This is quite different from the room we both in hours ago. Now, there are two different beds. Not only that, but a lot of things have also changed. The carpet, the settings... Everything has changed. 

"Chloe, pinch me. This must be a good dream, you need to pinch me so I would know it's not a dream." She said to me.

Well, you call for it my dear friend. 

I pinched her so hard on her right arm and she screamed out in pain. "Are you crazy?! What was that for?." She glared at me. 

"But, you asked me to pinch you. I only did what you asked me to do." I replied with a shrugged shoulder and an Innocent face. 

"Whatever! You're so mean!" 

"You can say that again." I stick out my tongue at her and she decided to start tickling me. 

She knew I'm ticklish and she's doing this to me on purpose. "Crazy woman! You stop right this minute!" 

"No, not until you apologize to me."

"But, why should I do that? I only did what you asked me to do."

"You still have the gut to argue with me, huh? Well, let's see how long it last." She said wickedly as she continue with her assault not until when I begged her to stop. 

"No, it doesn't sound like you mean it."

"But, I meant it. I'm sorry." 

"No, say it again."

"Okay, I'm sorry your Royal Highness... Christiana Johnson, please just let me go before I faint on you." We were still joking about this when we both heard the same familiar voice again. 

"Ladies." She called out for our attention. Both Tiana and I refrain ourselves and stood on our feet. 

"Erm... Sorry, we were just trying to-"

"You don't have to apologize. This is now your room and you can do whatever you wish to do with it." She said with a smile on her face. 

Huh? Both Tiana and I again looked at each other in bewilderment. 

Did this lady hit her head on something? Why is she being nice to me all of a sudden? 

"Keep that aside, I came here to ask you what you'll care for lunch?."

"Huh? What do you mean, what I care for lunch? Of course, the usual meal you've been giving to us for the past years. Do we have any other meal apart from that?." I asked in a confused tone. 

Because at this point, I don't understand what's happening anymore. My life changed within a blink of an eye almost 4 years ago and now, it's changing right in my presence again. 

Why am I being treated like a queen all of a sudden? 

"You're getting it all wrong. That was in the past. I mean, that was when you were under the jurisdiction of criminals, and now... I'm glad to inform you that you're not, any longer."

"Juliana, I'm still not getting you right... What are you talking about?." 

"I'm in no position to say anything to you right now. Just name anything you would love to eat this afternoon and it shall be prepared. Plus, please take a bath and change into something comfortable. Your dresses will arrive soon before you have your lunch?." She said to me. 

"Erm, Juliana... Can you just prepare anything good for her? That will be okay for now." Tiana answered her in place of me. She again smiled at us and left the room. 

Once she was out, she drag me and made us sit on the couch. "Chloe, what's going on?."

"I should be the one asking that and not you. What the hell is going on in my life because, at this point, I don't seem to understand anything any longer. The visit, the offer, the money, the respect I'm getting all of a sudden from Juliana, the beautiful room..." I said as I wave around the room. "And now, they're asking what I would love to eat, and even, dresses are coming in for me?!!! What the hell is going on, Tiana?! Is my life about to get ruined for the second time?." 

"You silly girl!" She hissed and smack my arm roughly. "Your life isn't getting ruined but getting better. You say any more bad words at yourself again and I won't think twice before plucking out those pretty eyes of yours from its socket." She threatened me. 

"But all these... I don't seem to understand it." 

"Me too but, it's all for the better. This shows that Mr stranger is trying his best to look out for you. He's taking good care of you right before you accept him. Now, you'll believe me when I said... No matter what it's, you have to say yes to him. Only him, can change your life."

"Oh please, don't start again." I said, rolling my eyes. 

"Whatever! At least, I got to use a beautiful bed for the first time in my life." She said happily as she jumped on and ran towards her bed and slumped on it. She won't stop spreading her hand all over it and I can't stop watching her this happy. 

Sometimes when I look at her closely, she behaves exactly like my sister, Janet. Janet has always been the materialistic type, even though we had enough then, she still wants more. The only difference is, Tiana has always been contented with what she has while Janet is not. 

•

I'm standing in front of a mirror right now and I can't stop admiring myself. Yes, this is the new Chloe standing right in front of me. I am putting on a slit golden skirt and a milk long sleeve top. This dress made me realize my shape is still intact if not more than how it used to be. 

People always thought I did liposuction and hip surgery unknown that, this was how I'm created. 

"Wow! Chloe, you look so beautiful right now. I knew you had a hot body but, I had no idea it was this hot. Girl, you're a hottie!" She exclaimed in an excited tone before smacking my arm again for the 10,000 times. Tiana always has this joy in smacking or hitting whenever she feels like it. 

This girl always acts like my mother most of the time. My body and I are tired of her. 

"You're probably dreaming. There's nothing special about my body." I said rolling my eyes. 

"Did you just say there's nothing special about your body? Now I see why that bastard came to you in the first place. He was only attracted to your body and used lies to take things away from you." She hissed. 

My mood changed all of a sudden. Not because I'm mad at her for the things she had just said but because, whenever I remembered how I betrayed my family... For him, it always hurt. 

"Hey! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fell ba-"

"It's fine, Tiana."

"Oh! So, you're-" 

"Ladies, lunch is ready." Juliana walked in with two other ladies behind her with several dishes. I and my friend as usual watched the scene going on in front of us in awe. She watch them set everything on the table. Once they were done, they left without saying anything. 

"Enjoy your meal." Juliana said and left also. 

"Chloe, these are foods! These are fucking great foods!!" She exclaimed, happily. 

"Language, Tiana." I said through gritted teeth before rolling my eyes at her. 

"Whatever! Just get up now and come eat."

"No. I'm not interested." 

"You must be kidding right? It's been years since we had such wonderful food. Stop being stubborn and enjoy yourself while you can. We have no forever, just once. Come on, you'll enjoy it. Your favorite meat is also there." She said as she walk over towards me, drag me up, and made me sit with her to eat. 

I smiled as I watch her ever move. She looks so happy and cheerful. I wish, she could be this happy forever. 

•

It has been four days already. Neither did I hear from Kenneth nor does he bother to show up his handsome face to me. 

Wait, did I just say- handsome face? Handsome face my foot!- I thought and scoff. 

Jerk! After making life very comfortable for me here, he decided not to show up his face to me. What does he think of himself? The almighty Kenneth that all girls fall and lick his feet?- I thought and scoff again. 

Well, I'm never going to do that. He can do whatever he feels like doing for all I care! 

"Is someone missing her prince charming already?." I heard a voice whisper in my ear. 

"Oh my God!" I jumped up in fear. And my crazy friend would not stop laughing at me.  "What's funny, Tiana? You just scared me! And... And who told you I'm thinking about someone?." I glared at her and stuttered on each word at the same time as I pointed my index finger at her. "I'm not thinking about anyone! You get that?!"

"Yes, your highness. I get it. But, I hope you know it's all written over your face. You missed him." 

"I said, I do not miss him! Besides, there's nothing special about his dork's face."

"W... Wh... What?! Do.. dor.. dork's face?! Did you just call that beautiful face a dork's face?." 

"Whatever! What brought you here?." 

"This is also my room, you dumbass!" She smacks my head with the small spoon in her hand. 

"Geez! When are you going to stop smacking me all the time?! It's so annoying!" I glared at her.  "Besides, where did you get a spoon from? What are you going to do with a spoon?." I added as I rub where she just hit. 

"I want to use it to farm."

"Wh... What?!!!"

"What? What? I said, I want to use it to farm. Tell me, what's the use of a spoon? For eating right so, why are you asking me an annoying question in the first place?." She hissed and rolled her eyes.

"You're hungry again?!! We just finished eating two hours ago besides, it's not even yet time for Juliana to bring lunch for us. There's still enough time for that." 

"Well, since you're the queen of this place now and, your precious friend is so famished... I went to meet Juliana and asked her to prepare our lunch. I can't wait till that time, I'm seriously famished right now." 

"What?!! Are you crazy Tiana?! You went all the way to meet Juliana and told her you were hungry?! Why would you do that?."

"Why are you getting so upset? I'm hungry, yes, hungry, hungry. Don't tell me it's now a crime for one to be hungry? 3 years and 6 months Raheenah that we've been brought to this place, we've never had the chance to eat good food and now that I've gotten the opportunity, you want to stop me? It's only for a few days, this is not even forever! Why are you getting upset about it?."

"Of course! I have all the right to be upset with you. You're taking advantage of the situation! You and I might be privileged to have a wonderful moment for just a few days but, what about our friends there? They've been starving!! You were not even bothered about them! Don't tell me you're now selfish because the Tiana I used to know isn't like this?."

"But Chloe, that's too much. Your words are hurting." Only then, did I realize I'd said what I shouldn't have.  

Chapter 6

Chloe Montclair

"I'm... I'm sorry." I hurriedly apologized to her. I didn't mean to be rude or say hurtful things to her it's just that, she was doing too much. 

"It's fine! I guess you're right. I'm taking advantage of the situation. I will just inform her not to prepare anything anymore. I was only hungry, I had no idea I did wrong by wanting to eat." Before I could reply to her or move, she had left. 

"Tiana wait! Can you at least wait and listen to me?." I said as I ran after her.  "Allow me to explain myself ple-" I said after her as I open the door but stopped in my mid-sentence when my face hit a broad chest. 

"Ouch!" I almost fell but a big warm hand wrapped around my waist tightly preventing me from falling. 

"Easy there." He said and right there, I knew it was him. 

I pushed him away from me and gives some space between us. "What are you doing here?." I asked him in a cold tone. 

He uses his right leg to shut the door firmly. I shivered but refrain myself. "Well..." He trails off as he walks toward me. "Can I say, I couldn't control my anger when a lady who isn't even up to my standard called me a dork?." He asked me as he raise his eyebrow. 

"H... Huh?!." 

"You thought, I wouldn't know that you did?."

"But how... How did you know I called you that?."

"My eyes are everywhere."

"Don't tell me you've been spying on me?!!"

"Well, I've been spying on you for the past 2 years so, I'm not going to lie on that part."

"W... Wh...what?!!! Are you crazy?!" 

"Should I show you what I'm capable of doing when I'm crazy?." He said arrogantly. 

This guy is unbelievable!

"Kenneth, what are you doing here? I still have 3 more days left." I reminded him. 

"Does that mean, you're considering my offer already?."

"You're not asking my question?."

"I told you, sweetheart, you have no right to question me in this game... Only I have the right to do that. I asked you questions and you answer." 

"Now, can we get back to business? About my offer, what do you think about it?." 

"I'm not interested. Find someone else to do that for you." I said.

"Interesting." He said, walked over to the couch, and made himself so comfortable like he owned the place. 

Okay, what was I saying? Of course, he might own the whole place. 

"Why?." He asked his gaze fixed on me. 

"Must I have a reason to reject your offer? I'm not interested and that's it! Do not force me into doing what I do not wish to."

"Are you shitting me right now? I'm trying to help you here! Why are you refusing me?." 

"I just told you, I have no reason to refuse you. I'm not just interested."

"Your sister, don't you want to know how she's living? I believe, she's been living a good life ever since you've been here... I mean, a good life with that motherfucker that deceived you." 

"What are you talking about?." 

"What I'm talking about is that your sister is married to that loser!" He burst angrily. 

Okay, this man just made me laugh. I can't control it and burst into heavy laughter. "You're joking, right? Why would my sister be married to Sebastian? She hates him. She hates the sight of him right when I was dating him. And, when she learned that I did all of that because of him, she hated him more for it. She told me she will never forgive me for what I've done, she hates the fact that I gave everything my Dad has worked so hard for to a man, and now, you're telling me she's married to him?! This must be a joke to you, right?." 

"Why don't you look at this before flaring up for no reason?." He threw an envelope at me and I catch it. 

I opened it slowly with my heart pounding so fast then, slipping my hand inside it, bringing out the first picture... I saw them both together, lock in each other's arms, same outfit, and smiling at each other like some lovers. 

No, maybe he's wrong. I brought out another picture, I think they were trying to get something in a shopping mall or something, holding each other's arms and looking at each other with so much love in their eyes. The last one made me completely down. I almost fell all thanks to Kenneth. He was quick to hold me tight in his arm before I slump to the floor.

How did he get so closer all of a sudden? I had no idea.

My sister and Seb were... He just pecked her lip and they look so happy together. Tears welled up in my eyes. My head hurts right now, I can't think straight. I don't want to believe this but... This is clear evidence right in front of me. 

I brought everything out of the envelope and saw so many pictures of them together. Not only that, but their wedding certificate is also here too... The pictures they took with Sebastian's family are also here. 

I looked at Kenneth. "How did you get these? Where did you get all these pictures from?." 

"Do I have to tell you? I hate explaining myself when people are supposed to explain themselves to me." He hissed. 

"Please tell me, Kenneth! I'm dying right now." 

"If you want to take revenge on them, I can help you. That's why I'm offering you a job. Be my fake girlfriend and I will help you take revenge on that idiot." 

"She's my sister!" I shouted at him. 

"Sister my foot! Your sister and yet, she ended up with the liar?!."

"You can't blame her. Maybe, you're wrong. Maybe, she fell in love with him after what happened and decide to give love a chance. Janet has never been in love, you can't blame her for loving him. Who knows, he might have a reason for not showing up at the hearing day in court years back. I shouldn't be quick to judge him, right?." 

"I thought, you're smart? I never knew you're this stupid." He hissed and look at me with an irritated look on his face. 

"He has been seeing your sister right before you met him. She planned everything with him and made you fall in love with him. She planned to take everything from you and ran off with him with everything that you had."

"W... wh... What?!" 

"You heard everything I had just said." He hissed again. He told me all that I needed to know, how Janet made me stay in this hell and made sure I never come out from it. She knew, that once I'm out, I will find out the truth about her and Seb. He also told me how good Sebastian's company has been going well for him. They're both living a happy life while I'm here stuck up living a miserable life for the crime I've never committed.

I really hate myself more right now. I wanted to slap myself so hard for betraying my mom. I can't believe my sister set me up and ruined my life. I've always loved her, cherish her, and wanted nothing other than to make her happy but, why did she betray me? Why did she hurt me this badly? What have I done to deserve so much hatred from her?

My heart is hurting right now. In fact, it's bleeding badly. I have a lot of things I want to do right now but do not know how to go about it. I can't believe I was betrayed by my sister. I can't believe she made a fool out of me. 

"What do I need to do?." I asked him as I wipe off my tears. 

"You know what to do already. If you're ready to do that... Here, you can give me a call, and let's strike the deal." He said as he stretch out a phone to me. I took it from him, it's the latest iPhone. 

"My number and everything you need is in there. You have 3 more days left to think about the whole thing and get back to me."

"But, I just agreed to it." 

"No. I need to be sure you're ready for this. Initially, I gave you 7 days and this is the fourth day... You have three more days left." He said and tried to leave but stopped and face me. 

"Call me a dork's face and you won't like the outcome. Watch what you talk to your friend about me." He warned. 

"How did you know about-"

"I have eyes everywhere. You should be happy a handsome good-looking guy like me is giving you the privilege to be my woman for the time being. You know how many girls are dying for this look?." He said arrogantly.  "I'm watching you." He said and left the room.

I slumped lazily on the sofa. I look at the pictures right in front of me with so much hatred in me. I can't believe my sister did this to me. 

Despite all the love I've shown her. 

"Hey! Did he say anything bad to you again?." Tiana asked as she walked in and sit beside me. 

"Tell me, this is not true, Tiana."

"What are you talking about?." 

"I can't believe my very sister could betray me. Does she hate me that much?."

"Can you be clear to me? What are you talking about? And, what are all these in your hands? Who are these people?." She questioned me. 

"My sister and my fiance." 

"What?!! They're married?."

"According to these pictures right here in front of you, they're. Apparently, it was all a planned work by my sister and him. They planned to make me fall in love with him so, I could give all of Dad's wealth to him and she'll get married to him at the end."

"What?!!!"

"Yes. But, I was too stupid. I was too stupid to drag my mom into this. I was never a good daughter to her. I disappointed her." 

"Can you stop blaming yourself? You've done no wrong, Chloe. So please, stop blaming yourself. What you ought to be thinking of now is how to take everything back from that useless boy called Sebastian. Who knows, maybe your sister was influenced by him. According to all you've told me, there's nothing that guy can't do. He can go the extra mile to get what he wants. Just take a look at when you were with him, he kept on manipulating you and you had no idea about it... He can be doing the same thing with your sister."

"That doesn't still change the fact she planned everything with him to ruin me. She brought me here too so, I won't come out from this hell of a place. I had no idea, she hated me this much. I've always loved her!"

"Sometimes, we get hurt by the people we least expected from. That's part of life, Chloe. So, what do you intend to do now?." 

"I don't know, I'm confused. I don't want to believe any of this but at the same time, with all this evidence right in front of me... I feel like getting out of here and strangling Farhan to death. He deserves nothing but death." 

"At least, you can talk to me. Are you taking Mr. stranger's offer, now that you know the whole truth?."

"Nothing is going to change my mind. I've made up my mind, Tiana. I'm going to be his girlfriend and ruin them for good. I need to get out of this place." I said. 

"What?!!!" She exclaimed. 

I looked at her strangely. "Is everything okay with you?."

"Are you seriously asking me that question? How could everything be okay when you're planning on leaving me here alone all to myself?."

"But I thought... I thought you told me to take the offer by Ken?."

"Silly girl." Again, she just smack my arm. "Tell me, when I asked you to put your hand into a fire, you're going to do that!. You think, I meant it when I told you to leave here and go to him?." 

What?! Is this girl okay at all? 

Chloe Montclair

"But, you asked me to leave, right?."

"That's because I had to say that to you not that, I meant it." 

"So, I shouldn't leave?."

"Yes, stay here with me." 

"Well, I change my mind already. I'm leaving and that's the period." 

"Chloe, you wouldn't want me to kill you right? I'm going to kill you- No! I'm going to roast you alive, eat you and then, I can be sent to another year of imprisonment."

"You're crazy!" I looked at her unbelievable. 

"Yes, I'm crazy." She chimed in with me and laugh. "To be frank with you, I was only kidding a while ago. You just follow your heart and do what's right. I will always support you no matter what." 

"Yes, I know that." 

"So, he came here to show you this? I thought he ought to be here in 3 days after now. Why is he here today?."

"Well, how do I know that? That crazy man knows that I called him a dork's face!" I hissed in a frustrating time. 

"What?! How did he know that? No one was here when you called him that." Before I could reply to her, the phone he gave me earlier started to ring. 

I pick it up from the couch and widened my eyes in shock. 

You can't believe what he just save his contact with? 

"Who's that? And, where did you get a phone from?." Tiana asked me. I showed her who was calling and she burst out laughing. 

"Prince charming?." She said laughing again. 

Prince charming my foot! 

I slide to the green side and pick up the call. "what?." I asked him immediately after I picked up the call. 

"You did not just call me crazy? Saying I have a dork's face isn't enough for you and now, I'm crazy? Don't test my patience Chloe. You do not want to see the demon side of me, right? I knew you were fierce right from the very first day I set my eyes on you but, do not disrespect me." He said in a very cold tone. The same tone he used on the very first day he came here to meet me. 

"But how-" before I could finish what I was about to say, he hung up the call on me. 

I opened my mouth in awe. "What's it? What happened? I know, it's Mr. Stranger that just called you, what did he say?."

"He heard me calling him crazy and also a dork's face." I replied. 

"What?! But how?." 

"I... I don't know." I'm still in shock. It's not like there's any CCTV in here... Is it?

"Is there any CCTV in here? How does he know that we talked about him? Or, is he a ghost or something?." Tiana asked in a confused tone.

"You- silly girl." I said and this time around, it was I who smacked her. I made sure to smack her arm so hard to reset her memory for her. "How could he be a ghost? He's a big man and you know that."

"But, he's listening to our conversation! Wait a minute, I need to check if there's any CCTV in here." She said and started to roam about the whole room. 

Still on there when my phone rang again. It's still him 'prince charming' I read the name and hissed before rolling my eyes. 

"What?." I said again as I picked up the call. This time, I made sure to put the phone on speaker. 

"Tell your beautiful friend to stop searching the whole place. She can't find anything. Plus, don't forget what I told you... Think about it thoroughly and there's no going back after that." He said and hang up the call. 

Both Tiana and I opened our mouths in awe. There's no doubt, there's something about this room we do not know of. He can see and hear anything we do. 

She slowly walk closer and whispered in my ear. "He surely is a ghost... There's no doubt."

"You think so?." I whispered back.

"I know so." She affirmed. I smack her back. 

"Ouch! What was that for? You and no idea your hand is painful, right?."

"Well, yours is more painful than mine. So, what do we do now?." I whispered again"

"Nothing. After all, we haven't done anything wrong. So, where do we start from? And, where's Juliana? The food should be ready by now?." She said. the last part in an irritated tone.

"Wait, what?! I thought... I thought you went out to stop her from making you any meals?." I'm confused right now. 

"You thought, I was going to listen to you? Look, Chloe. You and I are two different people... I need to eat because I'm famished. You can't change that."

"But, I just told you it's not th-" I was still trying to put some senses into this woman's head when the door burst open and Juliana walked in. 

"Ladies, here comes your meal." She exclaimed in an excited tone. She's changed towards me ever since the day Ken showed up here. She also told me she has something important to discuss with me and, I'm going to talk to her about that later on... Maybe, in the evening. 

But, all that isn't the problem now... What I'm seeing right in front of me isn't funny and looks suspicious. I fixed my gaze at my friend and she refused to look at me. 

"What's going on here? Are we having a feast or something? much so, food?." I asked. 

"We're not having a feast but, a send-forth party."

"Send forth party? For who?." 

"You, of course! You see, Chloe. Mr. Domanco made it clear to me that you're going to leave this place in the next three days. I know, I've been bad and mean towards you but, this is the least I could do. I'm inviting your friends over to your room now so, you can have some special time with them. Now, I will excuse you two." She said and tried to leave but I stopped her. 

"Erm... Please wait." Before I could say anything... The room burst open again and our friends walked in one after the other. I can't believe this is happening. 

Is this a planned work between my friend and Juliana? Because I can't seem to understand what's going on right now. They all walked in and hug me one after the other. I guess, they're missing me already even before I leave. 

I had no idea I was surrounded by people like this who cherish me this much not until today. They all sit and were ready to start eating when Juliana walked out. I ran out fastly after her and stopped her before she could leave. 

"Erm, Juliana..." She turned around and smiled a little bit at me. 

"Hey! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your friends?." She asked me. 

"I will but first, I will like to talk to you. Didn't you tell me, you have something to talk to me about?." 

"Yes."

"Can we talk about it now? I mean, if you're okay with it."

"Of course, I am. Can we go to my office instead?." 

"Sure. Right after you." I followed right behind her and we both walked into her office. I shut the door behind me and took a sit across from her. 

I looked at the woman sitting right across from me and mentally smiled. She has changed entirely towards me ever since the day Ken showed up here. 

She asked to have a peaceful conversation with me and here I am. 

"Firstly, I would like to apologize to you Chloe for all the bad deeds I've done to you. I know, I've hurt you a lot in the past, I've done a lot of terrible things to you... I would not want to remind you of the past again because it's just like an old wound that shouldn't be touched."

"You have never offended me but, I was so mean towards you. It wasn't entirely my fault. The truth is, both your sister and her husband came to me. She told me, you've always been bad to her ever since you both were kids. She told me, you were also not the biological daughter of your parents but yet, they treated you nicely. It took your mom a long time to conceive and she decided to adopt you but, you've always treated her who's the biological daughter badly."

"What?!!"

"Yes, that was what she told me about you. She also confirms to me that, there are a lot of several marks on her body given by you. You, secretly assault her. You also wanted to kill her because you found out you're not the biological daughter of your parents and also the fact that, you wanted to seduce her husband and take everything that rightfully belongs to her including your parent's wealth. She told me you succeeded though in taking everything but that boyfriend of yours run along with everything and left you behind."

"She was in so much pain and cried a lot when she told me about the whole story and I had no idea it was all a lie not until days back when Mr. Domanco showed up. He confronted me after having a conversation with you. I told him the truth but, he told me what the real truth is."

"I had no idea I've been fooled all these years and hurt you in the process. I hope, you can forgive me. I know, I was wrong. For believing her but at that time, I had no reason not to believe her. She was so real, every word that came out of her mouth looked so real too. And her husband, he was chiming in with her also and then... The news about you killing your mom was everywhere. The only thing I could think at that moment was to make you pay for all the bad deeds you've done to her family. I had no idea, I was hurting the innocent one all this while."

"Look, Chloe... I know it will be hard for you but please, find it in your heart to forgive me. Just forgive me and I will be okay." She said as she took hold of my two hands in hers. 

Why, am I not surprised by everything she had just said?
