Chloe looked at Moriah in shock, wondering where this was coming from. “This is a joke right?”“So you see any clown here?” Moriah replied, her face as cold as steel. It was hard to equate this woman with the same person who was all smiles at the engagement party. Granted, it was only a week ago but the sudden change gave Chloe whiplash.“How can you tell me that?” Chloe sat up, struggling to make sense of this scenario. Even though she might have returned Sean's ring, that didn't mean she wanted to wipe him off her memory forever. “I love Sean.”“Yet you're sitting here without his ring on your finger.” Moriah cooly stated a pointed look at my bare ring finger.Aware of Moriah's scrutiny, she pulled it out of view. “Whatever issues Sean and I are having are ours to face, not yours.”“I'm not trying to meddle but you see…” she stood up from her perched seat, circling Chloe's chair the way a predator would. “The last time I caught Sean in a similar position, I stepped back and allowed

Armed with the truth, Sean ran over his lines thinking about how he wanted to plate the truth towards Chloe.When Magnus told him what the security guard said, he only dug deeper.Just like he thought, the entire thing was one big lie. Not only was Amelia's unborn child, not his, but it belonged to a gardener…the man Magnus saw Amelia with was the father of the child.It wasn't surprising but Sean loathed Amelia for the destruction she brought with her false accusations, which was why he was out to set things straight. Hopefully, he could talk Chloe over to his side and they would live happily ever after.“I thought you promised me she would be here!” Sean ground out to the man next to him, tapping his feet on the floor of the car. “We've been out here for over an hour and not once have I seen her!”Mr Pontus, Sean's head of security shifted around nervously as Sean grew more agitated. “Sir, I promise you she's in there.”“So hasn't she come out?” Sean barked, fisting his fingers. He

Before the confrontation with Sean….Chloe hiked her bag up her chest, peeling off the wet strands of hair that were glued to her cheeks.She resumed her workout sessions as a way to escape her current reality, and for a short amount of time, it worked.But then as soon as she's done, the world comes crashing down around her.It kinda sucks.“Hey, good one today Chloe!” Her trainer, Jackson boomed from the other end of the room, raising his water bottle to her in salute.Chloe returned one of her own before she focused on removing the straps from her knuckles.Hissing as she peeled it off, Chloe took a minute to examine her slightly bruised knuckles. There was a pinkish color, with faint purple marks around the center.The punching bag in front of her didn't dare any better.Punching off her anger wasn't healthy but for now, it was all she got.Bunching her hair up in a ponytail, Chloe reached for her water jug on the bench next to her but before she could take it, someone else swiped

A slow knock sounded on his door, the sound grating on his nerves. Sean grunted at the door, turning his chair around to stare at the sunsetting.Trying to ignore the world around him for a week, Sean kept getting sucked back into the ever-revolving horror that was his life.Amber took great pride in reminding him just how much he had wrecked his relationship with his girlfriend and then she left.A hollow feeling had settled in his chest since that day.On his desk back home, were several unfinished letters which he addressed to Chloe, hoping that writing his thoughts out loud would be better.Maybe not.Because in the end, Sean couldn't come up with anything that seemed fitting enough.After all, what could he say?Hey, I'm sorry I drove out drunk and accidentally hit your mom's car.Abandoning the letters, Sean tried to reach out to her on her new line but he chickened out before she could pick up the phone.Every day, as Sean urged himself to come to work he was hit with bitternes

Staring into space, Chloe shut off her raging thoughts focusing on the only important thing.Nature.Being surrounded by trees and the distant sounds of children playing, she cupped her thermos between her hands trying to siphon the heat.The past few weeks of her life have been the craziest thing it has ever been.After getting the costs of the surgery Ethan had enough money to sustain them for a couple of months before he could get another job.After that, she deleted Moriah's number from her phone and any other device that she stored, effectively closing the last chapter of her life.The warm, summer breeze blew in her direction, sending her hair flying in different directions.Chloe blinked and jolted back to the present.Pushing back her hair from her face, Chloe took a sip of her latte only to discover that it had turned warm.Spitting the disgusting liquid on the grass, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, casting furtive glances to be sure nobody saw her.A glance at
