Diary Of A Bitch 35 Who Is Chloe?

"What's wrong, are you OK?". He hurriedly went to pour me a gla.s.s of water. I was touched by his sincerity, even if he was in his own h.e.l.l,he still cared about me.

" Can I ask a favour?" I asked as I perched on a chair.

"Sure, do you need anything?, I'll have Joe get them ready for you".

" It's nothing"

"Come on, it won't hurt if you just asked"

"I'm not sure you'll be able to do it".

" You can never tell till you ask "

"Is that a promise that you'd do as I ask?"

"I promise".

I stared intently into his Phoenix shaped eyes

" Tell me everything about you, and why you'd like to marry a pregnant woman that you barely know ". That wasn't actually the initial question I wanted to ask,I wanted to ask what happened to his first marriage, but I just couldn't bring myself to. You'll wonder how I got to know. I was actually staying in her room and due to restlessness I found baby's belongings in the closet,they seemed untouched but the dusty appearance clarified that they've been there for a while. There where also other feminine things that was packed in a suitcase labelled " Chloe". Some woman definitely lived here before me,and I was hoping he'd tell me about her without me bothering to ask.

"I'm Henry Brown, I'm a writer, I'm 30 years old, the family potential heir and I'm single. As to why I want to marry you,that's a little bit complicated and I'd rather not talk about it". So I was wrong, he didn't even mention anything about Chloe.

" I need to know, it might influence my decision ". I tried as much as possible not to sound disappointed.

" Ok, the thing is my father wants me to get married as soon as possible "

"Really, do you know how horrible you are at lying?". I really wanted to reason with him,but what do I do when he wouldn't even open up to me?.

" OK, let me come clean, I'm doing it for the inheritance ".

" OK..? ". I immediately masked the surprise on my face with an indifferent look, who would have thought Mr. Gorgeous is a gold digger, there must be a reason.

" That's all,I need the property ". He could hardly look at my face, I could already tell that wasn't all.

" OK, if we're going to start up a relations.h.i.+p, however false it is, the foundation should be the truth,please. n.o.body is perfect, and everyone has one reason or another influencing everything they do. You need to open up, I'd do anything to a.s.sist you if only I know why you intend to do this". OK that was just to get the truth out of him, how will I allow myself to be used in another battle for power?

"Ok, the Brown family is what it is today, thanks to my Mom. She worked hard over the years to grow the tiny company her father left her before his demise, she brought network marketing to a whole new level in this state. But unfortunately, she was murdered,it was a very terrible experience for me. Weeks later, my dad introduced some woman as my 'new mummy', his wife's funeral wasn't even concluded then so I guessed somehow he had something to do with her death. I tried as much as possible to stay away from home,I was scared I could share the same fate as my Mom. My mum's lawyer clarified everything recently. Everything belonged to my Mom and she already made her lawyer promise that he would make me continue her legacy and not let all of her blood and sweat go to the dogs. I demanded everything from my father but then, my step brothers also wants Beth corporation for their selfish needs, Dad knows everything belongs to me in the first place but he doesn't want to go against his beloved wife and sons, so he gave the condition that the first person to get married and give him a heir would take over. Knowing fully well that I still haven't gotten over Chloe, his wife and sons we're overjoyed as one already has a fiancée, the other had a girlfriend, in fact Kenneth's wedding is in a few weeks. I felt heavens open up the door of opportunities when I found out your condition. I know I'm being selfish right now,but there's no way I'd allow what my mother lived and died for go to the dogs".

I was shaken by his story. Our story was somehow similar, both our mothers died due to wealth, both our fathers were snitches and both our step mothers are slimy b.i.t.c.hes. If I couldn't fight for what was mine,I could help Henry win his own battle

"Also think about the baby, she should have a father figure, her bright future shouldn't be tainted by the corrupt community we live in, I promise you I'll treat her like my very own daughter". He is actually right,there was no way my baby wouldn't suffer if I am a single parent. I'll do it for my baby too. Somehow I had a feeling Mr. Gorgeous was going to be a good father. But there was something I needed to clarify before I agree.

" Who's Chloe? "
