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

    That night, Clement could not sleep.Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see were the happy faces of his brother. The love, devotion, and care for that Chloe woman he knelt down to propose to her.Clement was livid.Not because Sean proposed to the love of his life but because once he was done, Clement was subjected to watching his family talk and welcome Sean into the fold.He even overheard two of his uncles saying how Sean was going to be the next CEO. After everything he had sacrificed and given up for the company, now Caesar would let it fall into that brat's hands?He had lost to his brother but while Caesar ran his mouth about being proud of Sean, Clement knew it was because Sean didn't have a record.Caesar hated the limelight with a loathing that needed to be studied.Which was why Caesar urged each of them to stay out of the public eye.Any unwarranted attention that was in the slightest bit negative, Caesar reacted badly…which was what Clement would do to Sean.Givi

    “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

    It was no other person than Amelia Cruz.How dare she?How dare she walk into this place?!Chloe sparked with anger and she got up, about to rip Amelia a new one but before she got there, Sean was faster.“Amelia,” he said cooly. “What a pleasure to see you here.” Like an idiot, she beamed believing his words even though his face didn't look like it. “May I have a word?”“Why? Scared that I'm going to ruin your perfect wedding just like you ruined my life?” Amelia retort.Sean ground his teeth against his jaw, wondering if it was possible to whisk this woman away from here without anyone noticing. Already he could see people with their phones recording, their cameras ready and poised to capture the next viral video.“I don't want to argue with you, Amelia, especially not here.” He tried to keep his cool. “Why don't we go somewhere and hash this out like adults?”“What if I'm tired of behaving like an adult?” Amelia looked around, loving the attention. “I tried to do that but it didn'

    “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

    Sean whirled around, turning on Amelia. “What the hell is wrong with you?!” He breathed angrily, his hands balling into fists by his side. She batted her lashes innocently, a smug grin on her life. “I have no idea what you're talking about.” Sean walked her toward the nearest wall. “Talk or else I'll squeeze the truth from your windpipe!” “You wouldn't dare…” she looked around, bravado oozing from her pores. “Not while there are cameras rolling anyway.” Sean came to his senses then, knowing she was right. The last they needed was a bad video circulating after what just happened. Punching the wall with his fist close to her head, Sean snarled. “You think you're so fast huh? Guess what? I'm on to you!” “It's funny…after everything, we've been through you're so quick to cast me aside.” Her eyes turned sad, trying to draw him in but he refused. “Cast you aside?!” Sean's tone dripped with disbelief. “I loved you, Amelia! I would have done anything for you had you asked but no… you

    Chloe hugged her knees tighter when she heard the crunch of twigs behind her.Well, her solace lasted for so long anyway.Squaring her shoulders, she didn't bother to wipe the tear tracks off her face.It's funny how your entire world can come crashing down in the space of seconds. One moment she was so happy, she thought she would burst from the seams with it, and the next horror like she couldn't comprehend settled in her bones.To think about it, the worst part was Sean sitting there without saying a word.At the end of it all, Chloe knew at the back of her mind that it was a fantasy.Nothing was that simple…not when it came to her.“Chloe, can you hear me?” Sean called out as he neared. “It's me, Sean.”Chloe kept her lips glued shut until he had the decency to appear in front of her. “What took you so long?” she croaked out.Sean hurried to her, kneeling in front of her. “I'm so sorry, I had to fix the mess Amelia caused.”“You mean the mess you caused?” She raised her head to lo

    His heart was heavy, Sean beat on the ground, looking for any means possible to assuage the pain he felt. One that was rapidly spreading with every minute that passed by in which Chloe was not by his side. Sean wanted to blame everyone. Moriah, Amelia, and even Caesar but ultimately he knew that they were just placeholders. How to fix this? Chloe was right. There was a 50 percent chance that Amelia's baby belonged to him- even though he hoped not- and if that was true, what does that mean for his relationship? As it stands, he might be forced to choose between them. Fucking hell! “Well, well, well. Look who's lost everything in a matter of seconds.” Clement's annoying cackle pierced Sean's thoughts. Sinking his fingers deep into the earth, Sean debated on ignoring him. “But then again, that's what being cocky will get you.” Clement droned on, puffing his chest as he looked at the pathetic excuse of a brother who was bawling his eyes out because of a woman. “It's sad really.

    Chloe wrapped her hands around her body, shaking badly.She managed to avoid being seen by people around, sneaking out to flag down a taxi.The driver looked her over before stopping. That is when she took a good look at her outfit. Grass stains edged the white lace and mud-stained her feet. From the reflection of the car window, Chloe saw twigs in her hair and how scattered it was.Trying to smooth it down, Chloe ratted out her address and got into the car.The cab driver kept glancing at her through the rearview mirror but Chloe ignored it, fluffing her hair around her face to hide it.When he pulled up near the apartment, Chloe caught sight of her sister, Maeve pacing up and down.Meanwhile, Chloe flew into her sister's arms, wrapping her hands around her neck and hugging her tightly. “Where were you?!” Maeve moved back, starting at her sister, relief the size of a well in her chest. “I was looking all over you, I thought something had happened!”Immediately, she flew out of the c

    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

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

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.

    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
