Chapter 112_ I love you
Diane glared down at the lady she once thought was the most perfect soul for her brother, but it turned out that she was so far the worst.. she was clearly no different from the other ladies..
“Diane! this isn’t true.. please believe me” Lora cried out reaching for Diane’s leg but the latter took a step back, then another before she turned around and walked away from her..
The media flocked around Lora flashing and clicking their cameras while throwing questions at her..
“Get away from her!” Vanessa screamed out to them paving her way to Lora who was on her knees wailing out..

Bryan’s step froze as he spotted Chloe accepting something from a man he recognized as the MC of the occasion..
She turned around and left with Sam who led her to the car waiting for them..
His initial idea of going after her was kept on a hold, he ran up to the MC who was just about to get into his car..
“Mr Alexander!” He called out in surprise..
“What were you both discussing? and don’t you dare try to lie to me!”
The man gulped down knowing fully well what might happen to him if he said otherwise..
“She came back for her phone… the recording that was played a while ago was sent by her”
Bryan took a step backward, he turned back to the direction of the car Chloe got into a while ago, all he could see was the dim backlights moving in a distance..
He turned around to leave when his gaze met that of his sister..
“You-
“Go get her!” She said impatiently which left Bryan confused for a second..
Diane snapped a finger over his face to bring him out of his daze..
“Come on bro.. go on, I’ll cover up this mess” She urged and almost immediately she was engulfed into a deep embrace by Bryan..
He pulled away from her and ran to his car parked at a distance..

Meanwhile…
Arnold and the rest of his brother’s were left speechless after they watched the live engagement party video footage taking place at the grand hall..
“I never knew there was a twist in the story.. maybe he wasn’t bad after all” Gerald imputed stroking his chin..
“He’s still dangerous to me.. I know what he is after and I won’t let that happen or let him have his way.. Chloe is off limits to him” Arnold concluded with a snort..
Liam stood up from his seat and turned off the TV suddenly getting bored of the way things turned out at the party…NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
A car pulling over in front of the house was heard, they stared at one another for a brief second before rushing up to the window..
Sam opened the door and helped Chloe out of the car..
“Home sweet home” She murmured with a deep sigh..
“It’s pretty bad how that engagement party ended on a really dramatic note.. I didn’t see it coming”
She smiled nervously, knowing fully well that she was the reason the engagement ended that way..
“Yeah.. I guess”
Arnold turned back to the other three by his side who were struggling with each other to have a clear view of what was going on..
“I don’t think something is going on between them.. can’t you see? there’s no spark in their eyes” Liam pointed out which the other two agreed to except for Arnold..
Chloe and Sam turned behind them to see another car pulling right next to the car Sam came along with…
The door opened as Bryan stepped out of it panting slightly..
He shoved Sam aside and stood in front of Chloe who was about to go back into the building..
“You-
“I have a million things to say Chloe.. but I’ll start with one..”
“thank you.. you saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life today”
Chloe feigned ignorance, she didn’t want Bryan to think that she did this because she had something for him..
“What do you mean by that?” she asked curiously even though she knew what he meant..
“You know what I mean Chloe”
Chloe’s gaze wandered off to one of the windows where her four brothers were peering at her intently..
From this distance, she could tell that Arnold was very mad about Bryan’s presence, Bryan followed her line of sight to see her brothers..
He met Arnold’s gaze and his lips pulled up into a sly grin, with a single pull, Chloe crashed against his firm chest..
He lifted her chin up with his finger and kissed her gently on her lips..
Sam’s eyes nearly popped out of its sockets, now he understood those mean gazes and ill treatment he had been receiving from the latter..
The dude was obviously interested in Chloe all along and thought that he was an obstacle on his way..
Bryan pulled away from her, though it was not a deep kiss, but it was still enough to cause a blush on Chloe’s face..
“You’ve always made me completely mad over you.. I never believed a feeling like this existed until I met you Chloe” he paused and met her gaze..
”I love you”
Chloe’s heart pounded hard against her ribcage did she just hear that right? her eyes grew large like she had seen a ghost..
Meanwhile…
Gerald held back Arnold who was about to burst down the apartment, it was evident that he was upset over what happened a while ago..
Bryan had openly confessed his love to their sister and now the oldest brother was going out for him..
“I warned him!”
Chloe stared back at the window where her brothers were standing a while ago.. she turned back to Bryan nervously..
“Please leave.. this is wrong-
“Nothing is wrong Chloe.. I love you, and I know that you do too.. if not you won’t have stopped my engagement to Lora tonight-
She took a step backward shaking her head slowly..
“I don’t see you that way Mr Alexander.. please leave” She turned around and hurried into the building..
“Chloe!” Bryan called out..
***
Immediately she got in, she met with the questioning gaze of her four brothers..
“Chloe what was that about? you don’t really have such feelings for him right?” Arnold asked calmly..
She blinked back the tears that was threatening to fall out of her eyes..
“I’m going to bed” She announced and ran past them..
Soon after, the banging sound of her door was heard..
“We all know what that means right?” Gerald murmured..
Chloe kicked off her heels from her feet and fell flat on her bed staring at the ceilings, she touched her chest feeling her heart thumping wildly..
She grabbed a pillow and placed it over her face before screaming into it..
Series of knocks fell on her door few minutes later but all were ignored as she turned her back against the door..
“Chloe.. open up”

Mia took a glance out of the car’s glass when it stopped moving, she faced Chad and mouthed a ‘thank you’ before unfastening her seatbelt..
“You’re welcome”
She stepped out of the car holding up her royal blue gown up a bit to avoid it getting stuck, she was the only Anderson who was able to make it to the event…
She closed the door and turned around walking into the building..
“Umm Mia..”
Mia turned back to the car, this time Chad was getting out of the car, he walked around the car and met up with her..
He massaged his nape gently trying to force words out of his mouth..
“Yes?”
“Umm.. I was wondering if you’d be free tomorrow evening..”
Mia’s brows arched “Oh.. I guess so..”
Chad sighed in relief with a small smile “Okay.. I’ll pick you up tomorrow..”
She gave a nod to him and watched his back leaving till he got into his car, he waved at her which she reciprocated before he drove off..
Her lips pulled up into a subtle grin “Jerk”
