Unfortunately, Sean's attention was needed urgently and he had to drop off first. Then he instructed his driver to drop her off but she declined, putting him off.

The last thing she needed was to be seen by people alighting from his car. Boarding a car ride, she slipped into the car undetected going on her merry way.

Sean was too busy to bother with anything other than a peck on the cheeks, and a promise to call her. It wasn't even 9 am yet, but she was exhausted and needed to rest.

“We're here, ma'am.” The cab driver told her, stopping a couple of blocks away from her apartment as she instructed, jolting her from her thoughts. She pulled out cash, handing it over to him to walk the rest of the way to her house.

It was like any other day as she placed the key in the doorway, twisting the doorknob sideways.

With a sigh, she dropped everything on the nearest flat surface without even looking up…her jacket, bag, and keys.

The next thing to follow was her shoe, toeing it off immediately.

    It turns out that Maeve listened to the discussion that Chloe and Luke had because since then, she's been giving Chloe the cold shoulder.Things were so bad that Maeve stopped making meals for her any longer. Her responses were one word and anything more than that had to be pried out of her.It was quite a nightmare but Chloe refused to go back on her stand. The truth, no matter how painful it was to hear is that she would never love Luke the way she loved Sean, so it was better to put him out of his misery since they were about to go public regardless.The banging at the door made her jolt, spilling lukewarm tea on her sweater. Cursing under her breath, she reached for paper towels to clean them up before they could soil her clothes. The banging came again, making her hurry towards the door.“Who is it?” She called out.“It's, me, Maeve! Open the door!” Maeve’s terrified voice yelled back.Without wasting time, Chloe jerked back to open the door and Maeve rushed in, almost toppling C

    “You can't go out by this time!” Maeve tried to stop her but Chloe was hell-bent on leaving.“No offense but you can't stop me, Maeve. Now, move aside so I can pass.” Chloe tapped her feet impatiently on the floor glaring at her sister until she moved aside.It's been over a week that she'd been stuck in the house and it was getting to her. Ever since that stupid video came out, reporters and journalists have been camped outside their houses. Maeve insisted that she stay in, saying it was for her good if they didn't know that Chloe was staying there.So every morning, Maeve would brave the wild out there to go to work bringing back food items as well as any other thing Chloe might need while she stayed inside, watching the world from outside trying her best to ignore everyone.Maeve pretended to be fine but each night she came back, Chloe could see the strain on her face from fighting off different people who were harassing her and it got to her.This was all her fault, Maeve doesn't

    Panting, Chloe sprinted as fast as she could running away from those men before they could get her.Then she made the worst mistake of her life, darting into an alley breathing like though she was about to faint. The men's steps slowed and even though they sounded far away, she could hear the leader yell, “She's somewhere around this joint! Find her!”Chloe plastered her body on the wall, breathing shakily. Her heart was pounding so hard, that she feared it might be heated by the men chasing her.While she was alone, she seized the opportunity to rifle through her bag, searching for anything else to be used as a weapon in addition to the things she got.Unfortunately, the only thing she saw was another can of mace that looked as though it was expired, some stale bubblegum, and a waddled-up tissue.Sighing, she brought out her phone dialing Maeve’s number, excited that she could get out of this as fast as possible. That excitement was cut short when the signal went off.No service was

    The car stopped much to her chagrin, in front of a tall white and grey building.“Madame, we're here.” The cab driver informed her.Camilla looked outside the window, noting the skyscrapers all around and her mouth dropped. “Are you sure this is the address I have you?”The man checked the piece of paper she'd hastily scrawled the address on. “Yeah. 266 Palm Grove Road, off Madison Ave right? This is it.”Unbidden, a whistle left her mouth as she stared at the building with the Lambert Inc. sign standing tall.Damn!When Clement told her he was the CEO of a company, she thought it was a small startup stuff that people used to exaggerate but this…. This could easily be a multi-million dollar establishment.She got out of the car and paid the driver who zoomed off immediately, in search of a new customer.In truth, she was a bit sad to see him go. Camilla was so used to buses, being compressed and surrounded by various individuals that riding alone in a cab felt like a luxury.One she d

    “Come on, Chloe, pick up. This is important.” Maeve muttered under her breath, checking her phone repeatedly to check for any missed calls. Nothing.Just like the past twenty-odd hours. Her calls, messages, and texts went unanswered which is very much unlike her.To try her luck, Maeve tried her luck again. As usual, it went straight to voicemail. “Hi, it's me! You've reached Chloe but unfortunately, she's not able to come to the phone right now. You know what to do after the beep though, thank you!”Maeve breathed in, worry stabbing at her guts. “Chloe, it's me, again for like the hundredth time. Just pick up please, at least let me know that you're okay.”Chloe hasn't been back since last night and it's not like she left with any important things. Her work iPad, computer, and even her passport were all here.Almost a full day has passed since Chloe walked out those doors and it's a long time for her sister to leave without you informing anyone.Choosing to hold on a bit, Maeve wen

    “Argh!” Chloe sputtered, slowly fluttering her eyes open gasping for breath. “What the hell…?” Ice cold water that threatened to move off a few of her brain cells courses down her body, shocking her awake. Trying to move her body, she discovered that she was being held captive unable to move from the waist down as her body was bound by several ropes. “Fuck…ing move!” she cursed, trying to dislodge the ropes. “Good. She's awake.” A male voice rang out, making her head snap up so fast. In the cold, harsh light of the day, the guy was almost unrecognizable but that shirt …“I know you…” she mumbled, watching him carefully as he walked towards her. “From last night..” Suddenly, it clicked in and her eyes widened as she tried to scramble back but there was nowhere else for her to run to. He was the leader of the gang that had tried to kidnap her yesterday…No, wait, if she was bound and tied up then that means, they'd succeeded in capturing her.The guy wasn't wearing a mask to shield

    “Have you found her yet?” Sean asked his friend, Ivan the same question he's asked in the last twenty minutes.Ivan just shook his head, heaving a sigh. “You just asked me that same question less than two minutes ago, I've told you that I'm still working on it.”“But the security cameras on the street should have locked something up!” He groaned, worried out of his mind about Chloe. It's been well over twenty four hours since she was last seen or heard from and only god knows what she's currently going through. “Someone rewound the tapes about halfway through so there's nothing on there, I told you before.” Ivan sighed, rubbing at his temples.Sean realized that his constant hovering might drive Ivan nuts, plus the fact that he wouldn't find Chloe on time.“I'm sorry, I'll move back. I know I'm driving you nuts, it's just..”“You can't bare the thought of anything happening to Chloe, can you?” Ivan looked at him sympathetically. “Do you know anyone that would want to hurt Chloe?

    A day before…“Your chai tea, ma'am.” Amber opened one eye, spotting one of her maids bent over to offer the drink to her, with smoke billowing from the top indicating that it was freshly made.Amber flipped her legs to the side in excitement, reaching for the drink. The smooth and well-grounded chocolate taste melted on her tongue, making her eyes roll to the back of her head. The effect was so orgasmic that she had to groan out loud.“Oh, my gosh Porsha, this tastes so damn good!” She exclaimed, smiling so hard that her teeth might fall off. “Did you use that technique that I taught you?”Porsha scratched at her chin, looking uneasy. “My name is Portia ma'am, not Porsha, and yes I did use your favourite recipe.”Usually Amber would harp on about the correction but the tea put her in such an upbeat state, that she let it slide. “Whatever your name is, it is cool by me. Thank you for the tea, I'll let you know if I need more.”A smile fixed on her face, Amber watched Portia leave cont

    “So you’re going to do the wedding before you start to show? Why not do it after?” Maeve asked as they lay upside down on the couch. She had a permanent smile on her face these days and Amber liked to joke that she was receiving great sex from Ivan. They had been under the covers for way too long and finally announced their relationship over Sean’s takeover dinner last week, of course none of them were surprised even Mrs Lambert had teased them about it. Sean had passed all the requirements and Clement was serving Jail term for the next two years. Sean knew if he came out he would seek revenge again but he was going to gloat in the beauty of having a wife with him, at the end of the takeover night when he was crowned CEO, he went down on one knee and proposed to Chloe.“Sean wants it soon,” Chloe answered, fidgeting with her sheets.“Sean wants it or you want it? You don’t listen to what he says and he does all you ask!” Amber retorted and they laughed.“I don’t think there’s any ne

    The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment. Allow the nurse to stitch up your wounds and let me spend time with my sister.”Her final words did the trick, Sean nodded and stood up, pushing back the chair. “If she

    “Your stupid boyfriend is here! How did he locate us?” Drake panicked as the police officer’s voice sounded from the speaker again. He didn’t know how to act or what to say.“Don’t ask me” Chloe muttered under her breath, feeling her chest bustling with emotions, she was finally going to be away from the shackles of captors and ropes!“You have bad taste in men.” He concluded and she raised an amused brow as he continued. “Listen to me, just agree that you wanted to stay away, that way nobody gets hurt. Not you, not me.” Chloe pretended to be lost in thought. A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

    Sean would remember to give Amber a hug when next he saw her because apparently, she had the foresight to dial 911 and halfway through their pummeling, the cops showed up. The whole place was surrounded, escaping was out of the plan, Clement wanted nothing but to pluck out his brother's eyes but the cops had their own plan which involved he conflict ending peacefully.Everyone of them including Maeve and Amber were placed in the vehicle and driven off to the station. Only Drake and Chloe were not there which made pissed Sean off especially when he had his eyes on her less done twenty minutes ago.His first instinct had been to drag her out of his arms but holding on to Camille had made that impossible. Camille now sat at the corner of the van looking out the window wondering how she had managed to end up in this exact place again. Maeve was all cuddled up on Ivan in a cozy position, and he made a mental note to ask Ivan what was going on between them later.“Amber,” he muttered an

    Waiting for Clement didn’t take long, he came forty minutes later, the sound of his car was the first thing they heard and it was Drake who brought their attention to it. Amber, Maeve and Ivan immediately left, then Sean followed with Camille and stood behind the large banister at the living room exit, hiding his view.Sean's heart was racing at a mile per minute and he prayed that nothing went wrong so they were able to get Chloe. Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

    The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open. The knife to her neck was causing Drake to feel sick in the stomach but his fate would be much worse if he let her go without Clement’s consent. “We’re in here!” Maeve called shakily from what looked like it used to be the living room of the mansion, when the three of them came into full view and Ivan saw that Sean had Camille he dropped his weapon. “What in the hell happened here?” He gasped, subconsciously shielding Maeve from any stray bullets that may be fired.“Sean, Maeve!” Chloe cried out loud, all her emotions concentrated into that one word. She wanted to say more and even run into all their arms but Drake placed his palm over her mouth. Ivan watc

    Their plan was in motion and the girls had proved to be more useful than not. Sean had suggested Trevor stay back while the rest of them spread out in Aviline, a slim in downtown New York.It was a spot where the low or the lower class lived, just like Trevor had described.The young man was more useful than not and Sean was going to make sure he fulfilled his promise, but first…“Have you texted Clement?” Sean asked Ivan and he nodded, in response, bringing out the phone to show him the text.Amber and Maeve were standing a few feet away from them, lost in their own discussion. It was going to surprise Chloe to come out and see that her sister had made a friend in Amber who she originally hated a lot.Ivan flashed the phone in front of him reading the chat out loud.“Yes, you said ‘Chloe is missing, have you heard anything from anywhere that suggests foul play?’” “Well I guess that’s convincing enough.

    “If you honestly say a word, I’ll stuff my hands in your mouth.” Dufus threatened and she was quiet, she had lost strength and zeal, her despair was crawling over her and she wondered how long this torture would have to go on for.After Drake left, he didn't come back and instead they sent this Dufus guy to take over because she hadn't seen him since then almost like Drake couldn't stand the sight of her.From the beats and pieces of conversations that she heard she realized that she was being moved, as they handled her roughly, pushing against her as she got in the car, shoving her roughly into the new space before pulling off a blindfold.This new place that they took her to was even worse than the last, dank corners with rusted irons scattered about. The smell was horrible and she could see that a section of the ceiling was leaking, leaving a puddle on the floor.

    They settled in a corner of the pub, Ivan and Sean on one side and Camille sat pretty opposite, she had the air of someone who felt in charge and her cockiness was enraging Sean.Ivan noticed and patted him on his arms, urging him to remain calm. Ivan leaned forward and pushed one of the beer bottles Fatima had brought, towards her. It was her third bottle.“So, you are here to see your former captor, get a closer look?” Camille asked as she took a large gulp of the lukewarm drink, Sean had taken a bottle and decided he had enough but she was still going at three. It definitely pointed to some kind of celebratory mood.“No actually, we need your help on something,” Ivan told her and Sean watched as his friend delved into an Oscar award-winning act, his face twisting into a concerned one.“Recently, one of our friends went missing, we didn’t know if it was a voluntary ghosting or an actual case so we are being more on the low profile side. She was last seen in this area, I was hoping s
