Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chloe Montclair

I can't believe what my eyes are seeing right now. My sister with the man I'm in love with. I can't believe this.

Sebastian was holding her waist tightly with a loving smile on his face. The look on his face towards her is unexplainable. I do not think, he has given me such ever since I've been with him.

I wanted to open the car door and confront them but Ken stopped me. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?." He burst at me.

"Are you blind? Of course, I'm going there to confront them. How can they be living a good life when I'm here suffering?! They made my life miserable! I need to make them know I'm back to get what rightfully belongs to me." I hissed.

"Do not ruin things for me. This is not the right time to show your face to them, always remember that." He reminds me. I look at them closely again and couldn't help but scoff.

She's pregnant for him?! Wow! She's happily married to my man and carrying a child for him?! Unbelievable! I was fooled. You're a big fool Chloe Montclair- I thought.

I watch him open the passenger seat door for her like a gentleman and she got in still smiling at him. He ran over to the driver's seat, ignite the car engine, and drove off.

"We need to follow them." I said to Jawad.

"Why?."

"Because I want to! Besides, we need to know where they're staying." I added.

"I'm not as dumb as you. I'm Kenneth Domanco, I know everything I wanted to else, I do not want to get myself involved. I only wanted to make you witness this so, you could know your aim and objective from now on." He said.

I felt down. I can't believe I was betrayed by my sister. All I ever did was love her. Was it wrong to love and cherish your very sister? I do not think I've ever done anything to deserve such treatment from both of them. And Ken, when his family was down and couldn't get help from anyone, I stood up for them! For him! How could he betray me like this? All I've ever done was genuinely loved him.

I respect him, I cared for him and his family, I was submissive to him, and I took good care of him. What else a man wants from a woman that I haven't done but yet, to him I was nothing. I did nothing and the only way to pay me back for all the kindnesses, all the good things I've done to him was to send me to jail. When all I've ever wished for him is a success.

I can't believe this is happening to me! Has Janet ever thought of how mom would feel about this? Do they even have a conscience at all? How come I've been in a relationship with him for so long and yet, I had no idea about his hidden evil plans towards me? Am I that bad at studying people?

All while I was in my world thinking about my past mistakes, I had no idea I'd been welled in tears not until I felt someone nudge my arm roughly and pass me a handkerchief. "That's enough, I hate seeing people around me cry. And, why are you crying because of a jerk like him? He doesn't deserve it." He said in a pissed tone.

"You can't understand. You have no idea of what I'm going through because you'd never been in love before. If you had, you would have understood why I'm this down. I'm truly in love with him and this is what I get in return." I complained my heart to him as I wipe off my tears. The tears both Safeeyah and Farhan had taken from my eyes can't be said at all.

"Do not judge a book by its cover. I'm human too, I'm not a robot." He said in a very cold tone. He ignite the car engine and drove back home. We got home, he hop down and without saying a word to me, he left for God knows where.

I watch his retreating back in shock. I'm sure, I haven't done or said anything wrong to him besides, I should be the one upset and he should be the one petting me, not the other way round. He took me out without my permission and made me sad and now, he's acting like he was being hurt instead.

Jerk!

Jerk calling someone else a jerk!

"Oh my God, Chloe. Where have you two been? Ms. Steve tried Mr. Stranger's cell phone but he wasn't picking up his call. Are you okay? Are you fine? Wait a minute, did you cry? Did he do anything to you? He look so upset just now as he walked in, did you two fight again? Why must you always fight all the time? Can't you just be calm and be that simple, obedient girl whenever you're with him?." She bombarded me with so many questions in a worried tone.

I ought to be upset at her for not realizing how pained I'm at the moment but, I need more than that at the moment. I need comfort now. "Tiana, can I ever be happy? Am I a bad person?." I questioned her.

"What nonsense are you spurting out of your mouth? And, who said you're a bad person? Wait, did Mr. Stranger say that?." She asked with her eyes widened open. I can't answer her, the only thing I could do was shake my head at her question.

"You know what? We need to get you to your room first. You look pale, this was not the Chloe I saw hours ago." She said and she helped me up to my room.

Once we were inside, she made me sit on the couch. But before she could say a word, I beat her to it. "I saw them today. They look so happy together. They're so perfect for each other too." I said looking at one spot without blinking my eyes.

"You saw them? Who?." She questioned back in a confused tone. "Wait, you saw them? When you said them... Do you mean?!!! Oh my goodness! Where? How? When?!." She bombard with me several questions with her eyes widened out of shock.
