The party was in full swing, everyone joking and laughing as they enjoyed the continuous flow of booze and food.Sean went around, mingling with the guests while some stopped him on the way to commend his actions.Moriah and Caesar were also present, nodding their heads proudly when they came in.Sean was happy to have done something like this singlehandedly, but most of all he felt fulfilled that now people could see him for his worth.Adam Frey scowled at the far end of the room, taking glass after glass of champagne.There was no use worrying about what he could say or do to terminate Sean's hard work but neither did Sean want a fight or scene to break out.He extricated himself from the group he was talking to, weaving his way through the crowd to the other end.Immediately Adam saw him coming, he turned around giving him his back while Adam scowled at his drink.Adam poured another glass, intent on gulping it down but Sean grabbed it before he could.“What?” Adam barked. “Taking

Thankfully, Chloe listened to his advice, and together they went back to the hospital.The uncle he met earlier, Ethan came racing towards them when he spotted Chloe.“Finally! I was worried about you.” He drew her into his arms. “She's asking for you.”Sean could see the moment her body was defeated, almost like she'd lost all hope.Chloe looked back at him, silently asking for his support.He sidled next to her, slipping his hand into hers. “I'm right here with you.”Ignoring Sean, Ethan continued. “After you left, she had a bit of a complication and the doctors had to stabilize her but they said she doesn't have long.”“How much time does she have left?” Chloe whispered, crushing the bones in his hand with her grip.“Give or take 48 hours but they're certain she wouldn't last until Saturday.” Ethan delivered the horrible news to Chloe.Surprisingly, she remained strong only nodding twice. “Can I see her now?”“Of course.” Ethan made a move to direct her to her mother's room but the

The guilt burned through Sean's chest every time he spoke or saw Chloe.Every muscle pushed him to be honest with her and tell her the truth but he couldn't bring himself to do it, not when she was plagued by feelings after her mother died.The days after her mother's death went by in a blur.Chloe threw herself wholeheartedly into planning the funeral, not even giving herself a moment to breathe. Sean wanted to advise to let it all in but then again, everyone has different ways to grieve…this might be hers.A week later with a little bit of assistance from Sean, everything was ready for the funeral.The day was dark, rainy, and filled with clouds. Almost like the weather was in sync with Chloe's feelings.That day was the first time he saw Chloe remotely let the pain she felt in.It continued like that with Chloe slowly but surely pushing Sean away.He was helpless, not sure what to do.After that night at the party, Sean thought something shifted in their relationship but now, she w

“How do I look?” Chloe asked her sister, Maeve giving her a 360 view of the dress.It was a white lace gown that moved that silk around her body. It had a deep vee in the front, which gave a very nice view of her cleavage.Chloe loved the dress but she was also nervous about how other people would see it.Two weeks ago, Sean made her the happiest woman alive when he went down on his knees to ask her to marry him. At the time, Chloe wasn't aware of how drastic her life was going to change but in the coming days, that was made aware to her.Sean talked her into quitting her former place of work partly due to the fact that she didn't have to work that hard to make a living, and also because of how crazy the media has been, trying to soak up every bit of information they can about her life.“Baby girl, you look stunning if Sean doesn't pick up his jaw from the floor when he sees you, then he's the wrong man for you,” Maeve reassures her, turning her to face the mirror. “Look at your refl

“Sean, do something!” Chloe hissed through clenched teeth, wanting to die of mortification.Why do crazy shits like this always happen to her?It wasn't enough that her mother died but now she has to be subjected to listening to her former best friend and her fiancee's former girlfriend stand on the stage and talk shit about them?Urgh, please kill her now.Sean was torn on what to do.On one hand, he didn't want to cause a scene by forcing her off the stage but if he didn't take her off the stage, she might end up giving the media a lot to talk about.Chloe's fingers were curled up in her dress, digging into the soft material.Seeing her like that, his decision was made. This was supposed to be a happy day for both of them…after all she'd been through, Chloe deserved that.Sean stood up, walking towards Amelia intent on taking her off the stage in a none so gently manner of she refused to cooperate.Unfortunately, she saw him coming and was prepared for this scenario. “Stay back!” Sh
