Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 49

Chloe’s POV

I arrived back home that evening, feeling so sad about the whole situation. I sat down on the couch and buried my face with my palms.

“Chloe dear,” Aunt Cecily called, then sat down next to me.

“you came early and i expect you to be happy? how about Ethan? she asked while i sighed.

“am so worried aunt, am so confused,” i said sadly then told her what happen.

“so who do you actually believe, is it Declan or Ethan? she asked while i sighed.

“but aunt… Declan is his brother so he might be saying the truth. I don’t want to fall a victim of any of these,” i said sadly.

“then you have to believe who you love and that’s Ethan. You have to smart in dealing with people around you. Am sure you won’t be happy if Erica tell lies about you to Ethan and he believe it,” she said.

“but why will Declan do that?
“no one can tell, you don’t have to believe whatever people will say about your partner,”

“i know that aunt, am just feeling so sad about the whole thing,” i said then went upstairs to my room. Maybe Declan is lying, mabe he’s just jealous of us or maybe he’s right he just want to save me as he claim to. I was lost in my thoughts when the door went open and mom walked in.

“mom,”
“Chloe… what happen? you look so sad? she asked, i don’t want to talk about anything for now but i just have to.

“i and Ethan had a misunderstanding,” i said sadly.

“misunderstanding? she asked while i told her everything.

“Chloe dear, things like this do happen in relationship or marriage, and one might thought his partner is cheating,”

“mom, i just want to be alone for now,” i said sad.

“that what got me and your dad separated me, he loved me but he didn’t trust me enough.

Chloe i don’t want you, Jasmine or Erica to pas-sthrou-ghwhat i past, i don’t want you to make the same mistake i did,” she said and this time my eyes were getting teary.

“i love Ethan so much mom, but who wouldn’t react to that, i didn’t care about the picture i saw, maybe that was just a friendship hug but what Declan told me…

“it okay dear, i know Ethan is a good person and Declan too, i guess they might be a mixed up somewhere, i just want you to hear Ethan out. When Anton get to find out from the fake DNA test that you were not his daughter, he refuse to listen to me, he didn’t give me chance to explain anything to him and uptil now he never knew we lost our third child, he didn’t even know i was pregnant then, all this mess cost lots of people life, it almost cost your life and my baby is already gone, inclcuding my mom and Catherine,” she said in tears while i hug her.

“it okay mom, i do understand, i just want you to know Anton was once my father but not anymore. I spent all my life without a father and am still happy. You, Erica and aunt Cecily are enough for me,” i said.

Anton’s POV

“Dad, she isn’t Camille biological daughter,” Jasmine said as she dropped some files on my desk at the office, i don’t know why she’s investigating about Erica.

“what did you need this information for? i asked while she smiled then sat done opposite to me.

“nothing… i just want to know more about my sisters,” she said while i look at her suspiciously.

“Jasmine… i need your help,” i said while she look at me.

“anything for you dad,” she said with a smile
“please Jasmine i want you to be close to Chloe… only you can help me in this,” i said.

“what for? she asked wryly.

“i want you to get few strands of her hair, i want to conduct a DNA test,” i said sadly while she seems was shocked to hear that.

“but dad.. am your daughter right? don’t you love me again, atleast you still have me and Sean, we’re your children, your family,

and also Mom Karen,” she said while i sighed.

“i know that Jasmine, but you’re just too arrogant, can’t you see Chloe, can’t you see how responsible she is and because she’s raised by Camille, i guess i failed in been a good father to you,” i said.
“stop comparing me with Chloe,” she retorted.

“am not comparing you with anyone. Jasmine i feel so guilty, having nightmares and bad thought, am not myself any longer i kinda feel Chloe is my child, i just want to confirm it myself but i don’t know how to do it. You have to help me,” i said.

“am so scared dad, am scared you might leave me and Sean when you find out Chloe is your daughter, you might also divorce mom,” she said.

“am not gonna do that, i just want to clear my conscious, i want to do the right thing before it too late, i want to conduct this DNA test again to confirm it,” i said.

“what if she’s your not biological daughter? she asked.

“then fine, i will moved on with my life,” i replied back.

“but what if she’s your biological daughter? she asked again.

“then.. am doomed to have reacted that way to them, i still remember when Chloe was crying asking me not to leave her and her mother, she held my hands and kept cryiong but i jerked her hands away in anger and left, i called her and Camille all sort of name,

i can’t believe calling my own daughter a bastard not knowing am such a fool. Jasmine i won’t be able to forgive myself if Chloe is really my child and she might as well never forgive me, but am ready to accept my fate anyhow, i deserve whatever that will come my way,” i said while Jasmine stood up.

“i can’t do that dad, you might end up ruining our family,” she half yelled then walked out before i could say anything. I sighed then rest my back on the chair,

Jasmine is just too tough. I trusted Doctor Ken and doctor Eric they were my personal doctor but i guess i was so foolish not to have trust Camille then, or atleast find out this myself. Ken was out of the country since ten years back and ever since then i never heard from him while Doctor Eric died in plane crash. If they were still alive i would have caution them. Jasmine isn’t ready to help, i need to find someone, someone close to Chloe.

Jasmine’s POV

Why would dad insist to conduct another DNA test, seems he really want to know if Chloe is his daughter, what if she end up being his daughter? what will be my fate and that Sean also mom Karen will be heartbroken if dad leaves us. He might probably leave us just the way he once leave Camille and Chloe.

I paced up and down in my room wondering what to do. I need to think fast, am still doubting if Chloe is my father’s daughter. I don’t want to have a sister, it only me and Sean and it will forveer be us, i hate Chloe and her mom. I kept thinking on what to do.

Chloe’s POV

It was a perfect day for walking, the paths were a rustling carpet of golden leaves, and the air hung heavy with the smell of dry bush and bonfires. Ethan and i walk hand in hand as we admire the place. I decided to let go whatever Declan told me.

I guess mom was right i don’t have to believe everything. I love Ethan and that’s all that matters to me, am ready to stood up and fight for our love, i don’t want to make any mistake of leaving him, just the way Jasmine, she thought he was cheating, she left, leaving him heartbroken and now he has moved on. I don’t want to even imagine letting go of Ethan.

“hey, you seems lost in your thought,” he said bringing me out of my thought while i smile.
“of course not, am just enjoying this sight,” i laughed while he pulled me closer to him.

“are you still thinking about what Declan told you? he asked while i stare at him de-eply.

“am not, Ethan that was all in the past, what important is that you love me so much and i know you’ll never do anything to hurt me,” i said while he smile then ki-ss me on my cheeks, making me to blus-h.

“Chloe… you almost gave me heart attack when you were angry about what Declan said, i love you so much.. and i mean it but love also isn’t enough, the must be trust and i trust you Chloe please just believe me,” he said while i smiled.

“of course i do, am not gonna listen to whatever anyone says about you,” i said cheerfully while he laughed then ki-ss me on the li-ps.

“hey.. you dare not ki-ss me without my permission, people are watching us,” i said playfully then chase him around. It was so much fun and i really enjoyed this moment. I was breathing heavily by the time i stopped while Ethan show no sign of being short of breathe.

“you seems tired already,” he laughed while i rolled my eyes then removed my jacket revealing the singlet i wore. Ethan held my hands as we walked slowly until we reached to a quiet place, i looked at the view of the green pasture down the slope and across the hills gave me a little rest of mind, it was so full of peace and beauty.

“what’s is that look for? i asked feeling uneasy with the way he looks at me.

“you’re an uncut unique diamond. And it’s priceless. Only i know what that’s worth,” he said sweetly while i blus-h.
“this for you Chloe.. i want you to keep this as a symbol of my love for you,” he said as he removed a golden necklace with a love pendant, it look so expensive.

“this for me? i asked surprise while he nodded then slide in around my neck.

“it looks perfect on you,”
“thank you so much Ethan, thank you for loving me this much, thank you for making me found true love in you,” i said with teary eyes then hug-ged him tight.

“it so beautiful,” i smile admiring the love pendant.
“i hope you’ll never take it off,” he said while i nodded with a smile.

“we need to take selfie of this,” he said while he brou-ght out his phone and we snapped lots of pictures together. Love is sweet when you’re with the right person.

The next day…

Ethan’s POV

I sat down on a round table with my friends at the bar, the music was buzzing and the party seems lively. I was actually here to celebrate with them.

“okay guys, we should all raise our gla-sses for our very own Ethan, who at last found his soul-mate and his lover,” Greg said while i smile and they other cheers.

“well.. love is beyond my understanding, tell us how it all started? Bernard question while i smile.

“thank you guys, i don’t know where to begin, but i have finally understood what true love is having Chloe is my life now. I feel on top of the world. So cheers to that! i said in excitement.

I arrived back home happily, mom already knew about my relationship with Chloe, well she wasn’t surprise but she don’t seems too happy about it. I walked upstairs to my room but stopped when i saw Declan.

“Declan,” i called but he didn’t answer.

“Declan, i hope we get back to our normal ways, i so much miss my brother,” i said while he glare at me before walking away. This has been going on ever since i confronted him about what he told Chloe. He never talk to me and as for dad he didn’t say anything about my relationship with Chloe and i kinda have a bad feeling about that.

I walked to my room and freshen up, i chatted with Chloe which always make me smile.

*** The next day at work i got a call from Sir Anton to meet him at his office. I just hope it not about Jasmine, maybe about the company.

Few minutes later i arrived at his office and meet him looking so sad but his face lit up a bit when he saw me.

“sit down Ethan,” he said pointing a seat opposite to him.

“thank you sir,” i replied then sat down.

“Ethan, i trust you so much and i hope you can do this for me,” he said.

“do what? i asked.

“you’re already in a relationship with Chloe.. right? he asked while i nodded. I guess everyone must have known this.

“please Ethan i trust you so much and i hope you can take care of her,” he said while i kinda feel surprise.

“what’s the problem? i asked.

“i need your help, i need to conduct a DNA test, i need to know if Chloe is my biological daughter, my conscious couldn’t let me rest, i need to know the truth, i deserve to know the truth,” he said while i sighed.

“but Chloe doesn’t like you…how can we do all this? i asked.
“just a few strand of her hair,” he said.

“then you have to let Chloe know this. Am really sorry sir, but i can’t do that without Chloe’s permission, i don’t want to make her angry or give her any reason to doubt me. I respect her so much and i don’t want to hid anything from her. I guess it better if we just open up and let her know everything, so that you two can go for the test,” i said while he sighed.

“Camille might never agree to this, Chloe might as well not agree, but it okay… am certain when the right times comes the truth will prevail,” he said sadly while i nodded. Maybe he’s starting to regret his actions, he’s so serious about conducting the DNA test. Chloe need to know how serious her father is about her now cos am certain he might be her real father.

“i will try to help you sir, you’ve been like a father to me all this years and i don’t want to fail you this time, trust me i’ll help you talk to Chloe am sure she’ll agree to that,” i said while he smile sadly.

“thank you Ethan, but please i just want this to be between the two of us,” he said while i nodded in agreement before leaving. I hope this time everything works out well, i hope Chloe agree to all this…
