“F@ck! Mom, that’s absurd. You know I’d never do something so immoral…”“I am not sure I know you well anymore, Blake. Because I never imagined you would be sleeping with a married woman.” Diana interrupted. Blake sighed deeply, “Mom, are you keeping up with the news at all? They are divorced. Her relationship with the fake Marlowes is over. What you should be curious about is the real Marlowe.” Blake explained. Braxton scoffed in disbelief. “I really wished what I saw on the news were lies but…you even had to make such an absurd thing up– for her.” “We all know Aurora died that night. Have you been questioning me about the past for the past month just so you could turn your lover into a dead girl? I never thought you could be so cheap, Blake. Definitely not for love.” He went on, sounding equally disappointed. “I never imagined a day like this would come. I thought I raised my son right…”His parents went on showing their disappointment in him, not giving him enough chance to exp
Shortly after Blake left the suite, Chloe ordered breakfast and tried really hard to enjoy her meal but the thoughts of what Blake’s parents would say about their relationship.Just then, the doorbell rang and she reluctantly went to the door. As soon as the door pushed open, Sebastian emerged, pulling Chloe’s slender body into a tight hug, his broad hands covering her back. Chloe was hesitant to return his hug as this was very unusual of him.“Seb…I think this is too much. You’re suffocating me.” Chloe complained before Sebastian finally let her. He cupped her chicks, looking dead into her pupil as he apologized. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not recognizing you. I’m sorry for thinking of you as just an enemy. I’m sorry for wishing the worst for you just because you were George’s wife. I’m sorry for letting so much injustice happen to you.” Chloe was confused but not for long as he remembered her new truth. If she was truly the only daughter of the late Prime minister, then Sebastian
“Here at the Kensington Palace this morning, King Braxton Kensington has finally called for a press conference to address the absurd rumors that have been circulating…”The blaring sound from the TV woke Sebastian from where he was sleeping on the sofa. His hands had mistakenly pressed the remote, causing it to turn on. He wiped his face with the back of his palm before he noticed Chloe fast asleep on the sofa adjacent to him. He looked around them and saw two empty boxes of pizza and several cans of beer and everything else registered. They had chatted away the evening and ended up falling asleep after getting drunk. He smiled seeing how relaxed Chloe was even though it was just the two of them in an unfamiliar mansion several miles away from the city. “Stop staring. People might think you’re attracted to me.” Chloe said, finally snapping her eyes open and sitting up. “Of course, I am. I’m not one of those men who find their little sisters unattractive. You and Ruby are beautifu
“Good news?” Chloe wondered. Victoria excitedly waved the file in the air as she exclaimed, “Tada…the divorce decree just came from the court.” Excited, Chloe grabbed the file and tore it open. “This is officially stating that you, Chloe Knightley won the divorce suit against George Marlowe and I, Victoria Amazing Kensington retain my title as the ‘Unicorn’ in the legal field.” Victoria giggled excitedly as she offered herself a place to sit. Chloe grinned from ear to ear as she digested the contents of the decree. “I might not know what your title means but I do absolutely agree you are amazing.”“Oh, I'd gladly tell you.” Victoria said as she sat back and offered herself a glass of wine. “I’ve never lost a case in my career– as rare as the Unicorn. You get it?” She asked after explaining. Chloe sighed heavily, her smile quickly disappearing from her face, “That means Laila lost her first case.” Victoria sipped a glass and replied, “That's what she gets for crossing me.” Chloe
“The guts…” Stephanie’s angry voice hit Chloe's ear as soon as she stepped into the living room of the Mansion. She had ordered the guards to stop her at the veranda but Dawson phoned them from his home office and asked them to let her in. “Chloe, you're here,” Sebastian said excitedly as he rushed down the stairs. The duo hugged warmly which irritated not only Stephanie but Hilda who was watching from the second floor. “The movers should be here anytime soon, you should go sort your things first,” Sebastian suggested and Chloe nodded in response. Sebastian noticed how tense she looked so he wrapped his hand around her shoulder and gently patted her as they started to walk closer to the stairs. “Does she terrify you?” He asked in a whisper and Chloe nodded again. “She used to scare me too when I was younger. Do you know how I conquered that fear? When she frowns, I assume she magically transforms into Shrek…” Chloe burst into laughter, patting his chest as she tried to control
Chloe's lips curved into a broad grin as Blake's name appeared on her phone.Finally, the call she had been waiting for for two days finally came in and she didn't hesitate to answer it. “I’m sorry for keeping you in suspense.” Blake apologized as soon as his call was answered. “I missed you,” Chloe confessed instead. “Me too.” Blake also confessed and silence swept over for several seconds. Blake eventually spoke up, “My parents want to see you–” Upon noticing the hesitation in his voice, she quickly understood his fear. “Chloe Knightley or Aurora Marlowe?” She asked knowingly. Blake was hesitant yet again before he replied, “The latter.” “I hope you’re not offended but my parents haven’t been able to sleep properly since she found out you were still alive. They really want to meet you– Now.” Chloe suggested. “Why would I be offended? It’s a good thing anyway. At Least I get to see you.” She said,“Okay then. Zane will pick you up in an hour.” He announced. Several seconds
Chloe rolled over on the bed, stretching her tired body as she slowly sat up. As she rubbed her face, Blake was nowhere to be seen around the room but a broad smile appeared on her face when she saw the tray of breakfast in the drawer beside the bed. She took a sip from the warm tea and smiled even more broadly, “How did you hide this romantic side of you so well, My Prince charming?” She giggled as she remembered their previous night and she stretched a little more before relaxing her back on the headboard of the bed, her smile not leaving her eyes. Her eyes darted to the dress hanging in front of Blake's wardrobe and she quickly knew it was for her since she hadn't seen it there the previous day and the note on her breakfast tray confirmed it. After taking her breakfast, she took her bath and changed into the simple but elegantly styled sapphire dress Blake left for her before going downstairs to join the family. Upon coming across Diana downstairs, Chloe quickly remembered th
“Explain? I don't need it. What I need right now is for you to tell me all those sexting, pictures and videos aren't real.” Blake stated firmly, his eyes burning with rage. Chloe remained mute unable to deny the truth. She wasn't willing to lie to Blake and telling the truth won't exactly set her free in this situation. “Chloe, say something or I might just believe I am nothing but someone to pass the time. I love you and you know it so just tell me exactly how you feel for me. I promise I won’t blame you.” He suggested. Tears flowed freely from Chloe’s eyes as she found it hard to give a proper explanation and all she could say was, “I’m sorry, Blake. I’m sorry I did all that with him but I swear it’s you I want.” “It’s me you want or…it has to be me? I mean I am the better candidate right now?” Out of anger, he provoked Chloe. Chloe’s tears quickly seemed to dry up upon hearing his demeaning statement. “Do you think I am after your wealth? Or your fame?” She asked angrily. “
