CHAPTER TWELVE"Chloe. What's going on?" Jamie asked more suspiciously. "Are you keeping something from us?" She asked again."Is that true? Are you keeping something from us? Their questions were becoming too much and overwhelming for her that she blurted out, "Yes, I am!" Jamie and George were wide-eyed in shock as they wondered what she was keeping away from them. "What are you hiding?" They asked, unintentionally in sync. Jamie went further to ask, "What could that be?" Chloe's vibrant eyes suddenly looked dull and slightly downcast as she stared at the ground as if searching for solace. Her eyes welled with unshed tears, ready to pour forth at any moment, revealing the depth of her sorrow as she found her way to the neatly arranged set of sofa where she sat down, leaving them completely stressed out and outrightly worried. She was still a very big and important part of their plans which makes her a VIP. "Chloe…" Jamie called out as she took a seat beside her on the couch

"What?" Chloe asked in disbelief, her eyes widened in shock. "Is he keeping an eye on me now?" She wondered. "Yeah. Apparently, someone has been following you and upon reporting to your husband, he finds it obviously suspicious and he's on his way." Blake explained further. "He's on his way?" Chloe asked and Blake just nodded in affirmation. Chloe gently bit the tip of her index finger thinking of what to do. Leaving the Hospital in haste before George arrived won't change anything. If anything, it would make him more suspicious of her since he already knew she was here so leaving wasn't an option. She needed to kill his suspicions before they pile up. 'Huh, Juan!' She gasped as she picked up her phone and stood up to her feet. She quickly dialed Juan's number and paced around, waiting for him to answer."Chloe, what are you doing?" Blake asked curiously as he also got up to his feet and walked towards her. "Aish…" She groaned, biting her fingertip a little more aggressively a

"You looked so cute with your flustered face, I just couldn't resist." Chloe squeaked delightfully while still staring into Blake's shiny brown eyes. Zane coughed, pulling their attention to his presence and Blake immediately gasped, finally able to breathe again as he quickly dropped his gaze from Chloe's unwavering eyes. "Don't you agree with me?" Chloe asked, turning to look at Zane who was looking even more flustered. Blake quickly used the opportunity to bring out a small packed bag from his inner coat and as soon as Chloe turned back to face him, he dangled the bag in front of her face. “This will help with your diagnosis. You should take care of your health to fight against such strong opponents.” Blake skillfully diverted the topic as he was unsure of his emotions. “What?” Chloe asked, sounding offended. “It was just a kiss– A peck and you’re already afraid I might infect you with my disease? It's not like I’m asking you to sleep with me!” She scolded angrily, her words l

"Chloe, calm down, okay?" Blake tried to calm her down before he continued, "If they caught him alive for all these years, it means he is crucial to their plan and they can only use him when he is sane, which means they would have to keep him sane."Chloe calmly thought about Blake's statement for a while. It made a lot of sense so she decided to go with it. "That's a relief." Chloe sighed, relaxing her tense muscles. "I'm curious about one thing. Where is the entry to the basement?" She asked curiously. "It's in the garage–" "Under Father-in-law's oldest car which has been parked for years." Chloe quickly completed it. "I'm not sure about that. It's been a long time since I last entered the garage. What makes you think so?" Blake asked curiously. "I– I remember that day. I had come to visit George about a few days before my Dad's disappearance. I saw some men digging up that place. Later when I was married into the house, I saw the car that has since then been permanently parked

SATURDAY "Chloe, go through the guest list one more time." George suggested as he handed over a file to Chloe, nervously pacing about Chloe's office. "Sure." Chloe replied as she collected the file. She got up and held onto George's hands and gently massaged it. "George, you don't have to be so nervous. Everything will go perfectly well." She motivated him. "I know, right? I've invited the most influential people in Castile, thanks to Dad." He went on. "Yeah." She smirked. "Why don't you go and check on the hall and see where they are in preparation?" Chloe suggested. George nodded repeatedly as he replied, "You're right, I should do that." "A good luck hug?" He suggested as he spread out his arms anticipating Chloe's embrace. Chloe was because she had a lot going on in her mind but she won't let a simple and meaningless hug ruin her plan so without much hesitation, she walked into his arms, hugging him tight. "You announced at the meeting that this month would be one of th
