After Mr. Grey dropped me to Johnson’s office I went straight to my penthouse. I pressed the lift button and it took me straight to my penthouse door. I swiped my card and went in.
I love this place where I have my peace but I can only use it for weekend because I don’t want anybody will notice that I am the real boss.
I went straight to my refrigerator and open it. I took out a cold water and poured in my glass. Then I settled myself on the couch. I was about to read some documents when my phone rang. I picked it up and I saw it was Jerome calling.
“Hi buddy, how’s everything going?” I asked
“Hello honey-pie, I’m doing good.”
“Great! What’s the news?” I question.
“I can’t comeback today because I need to conduct a general meeting tomorrow as our auditor department have some issues.”
“I see, sorry about that. Whatever is best I know you can do it.” I assured him.
“This is killing me Chloe, you know I’m a military man.” He complained
“I know.. I know… Please bare with me. Soon the case will be over we are almost there. Please.”
“Of course! what can I do?”
“Thank you Jerome, you’re my life saver.”
“Ha… ha… You know where to get me.” He laughed
“No! Seriously. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome and you know you and uncle Arthur are my family. By the way Liza is going to visit next week to see you.”
” That’s a great news! I’m looking forward to see her. I miss her.”
“She miss you too. We’re a glad uncle Arthur is finally back to your place.”
“Yeah, I am happy that he is able to comeback here. It’s been 2 decades. I think we need to face the reality soon.”
“Yes, sooner or later somebody will find out who really you are. So be prepared.”
“You’re right that’s why I need an access to Moore company as soon as possible. I am getting closer there.”
“Good! I’ll be back once I settle the matter here.”
“Thanks buddy. Keep me updated.”
“I will. Enjoy your dinner with uncle Arthur later.”
“Thanks, I don’t know which one I am excited to see, the place where I used to live before or for dad coming back here.”
“It must be both. Remember you’re Chloe now and you have to live with it as well for the sake of your safety. We don’t know if Denyx’ family were responsible of that accident but it’s hard to determine cause his father’s gone too.”
“Actually dad mentioned it to me. I don’t think his father was involved, there must be someone behind it, which wanted their money and power.”
“You’re right, I just wish it will be over soon because we want our lives back to normal.”
“I know buddy and sorry for causing you trouble for all these things.”
“It’s okay Chloe, if this what it takes to get your freedom we will be with you all the way long.”
“Thank you Jerome it means a lot to me.”
“Come on… It’s nothing okay!”
“Just call me back whenever you need my help.”
“Alright! I’ll go ahead now. Liza is waiting for me. We will be going out for lunch.”
“Okay, have fun guys.”
I hang up the call. I am really grateful for my best friend’s help. He is my hero. I know it wasn’t easy to left his dream but he still chose to help me. He loves being a military man but I put him into business.
I picked the documents on the table and I started to review it. Hmmm things getting better to our housing projects. The progress is impressive. Our team did a great job.
After I was done with the documents I stood up and went to the kitchen. I made a bowl of salad and tuna sandwich for my lunch. Then I decided to have a nap. I went in my room and laid down myself in the bed. I fell asleep as soon my body touched my comfy bed.
When I woke up it was already 4 o’clock in the afternoon. I freshen up myself and prepared myself.
I took a shower and wore a black dress put on my lipstick. I don’t like wearing make up because I am allergic to it. I finished myself when it was about 30 minutes past 6 o’clock.
I took my key and went down to the parking area and drove myself going to the mansion.
***Denyx***
When I knocked on her door my heart was beating so fast especially when she opened the door. She really look gorgeous and I wanted to kissed her but I know I have to wait for the right time, I don’t want her to push me away if she thinks she can’t trust me.
She’s not ready yet and I need to know what makes her held back when I can feel her too.
I watched the camera monitor and I saw her leaving. She didn’t know that I can see her outside the door. When she stepped out she stopped and looked at on my unit. She took a deep breath and left.
I decided to stay here in my apartment and had my lunch here. Chloe haven’t comeback yet.
“Where could she be?” I asked mumbled to myself.
I waited for her to come back in her apartment but she wasn’t back yet and I have to leave. I called my mom instead.
“Hello son! I’m ready.” She’s excited
“Hi mom, be there in 15 minutes I’ll pick you up.”
“Okay, see you. Bye!”
“See you mom.”
I ended the call and I looked at the time it’s 15 minutes past 6 o’clock.
I drove to our mansion and picked up mom. Soon I arrived and she was waiting for me. The guard open the gate for me to come in inside the gate.
I stopped the car in front of the mansion and my mom was just in the right time when she opened the door.
She smiled and walked toward the car. I get down and open the front seat next to the driver seat.
“Get inside mom.”
“Thank you son.”
I walked to the other side where the driver side is and sat next to her. I buckled my seatbelt and I drove going to the Mc Len mansion.
“Why are you always driving own your own son? There’s a lot of drivers and you didn’t take extra one for you.”
“I’m happy with Alex mom.”
“But he is not available in the weekend and evening. You must get one when he is not around.” She complaint
“Mom please! not again.”
“Denyx I am always worried for you. You’re a billionaire and there’s a lot of people might harm you.”
“But nobody knows me that much because I don’t show off.”
“Even though you can’t guarantee. Especially when Mike is around. What is he’s going to kill you too?”
“Mom at this time he still needs my money so he can’t touch me and before he can harm me I’m sure he’ll be in jail at that time. So don’t worry about it.”
“You don’t know what’s in his mind.”
“I have special people watching him, so don’t worry okay?”
“I can’t bare thinking of loosing you.”
“I promised mom I’ll be safe.”
“Yes, you have to promise me. That bastard is not yet home but he told me he’ll be back tonight. When the police will arrest him I’ll make sure he can’t comeback to our mansion anymore.”
“That’s good mom because the warrant of arrest will be tomorrow and Mike has to pay for what he had done to Mc Len family. He deserved to serve in jail for the rest of his life.”
“Exactly because he is a criminal and greedy man. I can’t believe this, I married a criminal and heartless man.”
“It is what it is mom. Don’t blame yourself. Nobody expect these to happen. Who would have known that he is a jerk and criminal man.”
I comforted her.
I know she has guilt and regrets but mom is just another victim of Mike.
“I am just hoping that this will be over son. I don’t want to see Mike anymore he is a chunk.”
“Yes mom, you won’t see him anymore. He has nothing to do with us anymore.”
More took a deep breath.
“I hope your late father is with us. He must be very proud of you son, and we are all. You did a great job.”
“Thanks mom. No matter what I will make sure he’ll end up in jail.”
Soon we had reached the Mc Len mansion.
The guard open the gate so we can go inside. The place is still well maintained.
I noticed there’s another car parked outside the mansion.
“It’s still beautiful as before isn’t it Denyx?”
“Yes mom nothing had change. It seems that uncle Arthur maintained it well.”
“I think so because it’s been 2 decades that he haven’t comeback here but still it’s beautiful as ever.”
“Yes it is.”
I parked my car next to the other car.
I opened the door for mom and she get down in the car. I took the gift at the back and we walked to the mansion door. We rang the bell and in less than a minute uncle Arthur came out from inside and greeted us.
“Welcome to the Mc Len mansion once again.” He said with a smile on his face. I shake his hand and handed a gift I brought for me.
“Oh Denyx you don’t have to give me a gift.”
“It’s a simple gift uncle don’t worry.
“My mom, uncle Arthur.” Pointing to my mom.
“Oh hi how are you? It’s been decades we haven’t meet.” Uncle Arthur and my mom still remember each other.
“I’m doing good Arthur, how are you?” My mom spoke
“Good too. I’m glad to be back in this place again.” Uncle Arthur told mom.
“Yes, so do I. I am happy that finally you’re back. I wondered where and what happened to you after all those years.”
“I moved in Boston and settled there. Things went well there and I was okay.”
“Glad to hear that from you.”
“Thanks! By the way please come in. Sorry for making you stand here.” He apologized as we had talked outside the door for a moment.
“It’s okay uncle Arthur, nothing to worry.”
He lead us inside the mansion to their living room.
