Chapter one

Chloe stared at the paper that was in front of her. She couldn't believe what she was reading she wanted to cry and scream and be mad. He had told her he loved her every day over and over again and now he was telling her that they couldn't be together. Why? Why couldn't they be together he never told her why he had decided this. He had left her a two page letter this morning before he had went back to Smallville. Tears were in her eyes why would he do this to her they had been in love. He had told her he loved her like he had never loved anyone. He proved his love almost every night that he came to see her. Chloe had fallen deeply in love with him she was her everything ever since her father had a heart attack and passed away. What did he want to do trap her and keep her here so he could have her whenever he pleased and get rid of her whenever he pleased? Chloe felt sick to her stomach he had told her that he wanted her to say here because she needed to stay safe that had been three years ago when she had been sixteen. Three years I've been trapped her to please him Chloe thought and her stomach stared giving way she dropped the letter on the table and ran to the bathroom. After an hour of being in the bathroom she went back to where she had dropped the letter. She tore it up into tiny pieces. 'I never want to see Lex Luthor's face ever again.' Chloe thought. Chloe went up to her room and tried to fall asleep she hated Lex how could he do this to her?

Chloe remembered the day she had come here. The safe house Lex had told his security team to bring her and her father to had blown up and they had went down a tunnel to a plane where a Luthor Corp Jet was waiting for them. Chloe and Gabe had then been rushed here and were told to stay until Lionel wouldn't harm them anymore. Lex had built this house on an uncharted island he knew that sometime he would need it. It was a beautiful house it wasn't decorated like the mansion was. Chloe couldn't stop thanking Lex for keeping her and her father safe from Lionel and Lex told her that he promised he would keep her safe and that was what he was going to do. After a year of being at the house Gabe had passed away in his sleep. Chloe knew something was wrong with him because that night he kept telling her how much he loved her and when she had found him dead in the morning she hadn't been stunned. She had been extremely sad though she couldn't stop crying and when Lex came to the island and found her completely devastated she wouldn't tell him why. Then he found Gabe's body lying in bed and he knew that it wasn't worth examining right now. He had gone over to Chloe and wrapped his arms around her; he took her into her room and laid her down on her bed. He laid down next to her staring into her eyes he brushed the hair away from her eyes and he let her cry herself to sleep on him. Lex had gotten his men to take the body away and have it examined to find out what had killed him. Once he got the results he wasn't sure if Chloe wanted to know what happened to her father but she had wanted to know. He had told her and she seemed to be okay with it.

Lex and Chloe had started to fall in love that day when Lex had let Chloe just cry and he was just there for her. She told him she loved him for that and that it meant a lot that he was there. Then about five months later their relationship started to change from friendship to more than just friends. Lex had been gone for about three months and Chloe had been so excited to see him she had ran to him when he got off the jet and leaped into his arms. Lex held her close and he had never felt so warm. Lex took her back into the house where they sat on the couch watching a movie while talking to each other about what was happening. Chloe had been so lonely and she was glad that Lex was there with her now. Chloe could feel her heart pounding when sitting next to Lex she wasn't sure if it was the excitement of seeing him again or if she was staring to have feelings for him. Chloe didn't really remember how Lex and her had ended up in her room kissing with Lex pushing her against her bedroom wall. All she knew is that it happened and it had felt good. Chloe remembered how good Lex's lips felt on hers and she hadn't noticed that he had started to unbutton the blouse she had on until he almost had it off. Chloe pushed him away then and just stared at him she stared to re button her blouse and she kept saying sorry over and over again. Lex had come over and caressed Chloe's cheek he told her it was okay and he had gone way too far and he was sorry. Chloe hugged him and told him she wasn't ready to have a sexual relationship. He told her that he understood completely and he was sorry he wasn't thinking. Chloe couldn't remember when she had decided that having a sexual relationship with Lex was okay with her all she knew was that she planned the first time she crossed the line and they both couldn't go back. Chloe was always craving Lex when he went back to Smallville and he was always craving her. Chloe could remember asking Lex when she could go back to Smallville he always told her that it wasn't the right time and she had believed him but now she felt like punching his guts out he only kept her here for his own benefits.

Chloe was sick of remembering all of the nights she had shared with Lex she wanted to forget them all she never wanted to remember him again. Chloe wondered what he was going to do never come back here or was he going to come to face her because if he came back he would have one hell of time with her. Chloe didn't want to be left alone here for who knows how long so in the morning around nine she went into the room that held her computer she wasn't sure how Lex had managed internet access all the way out here but she was glad he had figured it out. She turned it on and went to see if Lex was on instant messenger she wanted answers and the only way she was going to get them was by the computer. She noticed that his screen name was on but when she tried to IM him but it said that he had blocked her. 'Bastard' Chloe thought. But Chloe knew that Lex had other screen names and she knew some of them. Chloe tried the three she knew after not being successful with the first two she hoped the last one would work. So she tried the last and finally she got through.

Sassy Journalist: You are such a jerk Lex Luthor!!!

Bald Billionaire: You know I could block you right now don't you?

Sassy Journalist: I don't care Lex tell me what the hell has gotten into you?

Bald Billionaire: I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry.

Sassy Journalist: You're sorry what the hell am I supposed to do you can't just keep me here all alone by my self!!!!!!!!

Bald Billionaire: I'm not going to leave you there. Tomorrow there will be two of my security guys and they will tell you everything you need to know.

Sassy Journalist: And what about us Lex do these past years mean nothing to you?

Bald Billionaire: They mean everything to me. You just can't fit into my life style.

Sassy Journalist: The hell with you!!

Bald Billionaire: The hell with you too! I tried to make us work Chloe I really did.

Sassy Journalist: We were fine before what happened? Did I do something wrong?

Bald Billionaire: No it isn't you.

Sassy Journalist: Then what is it?

Bald Billionaire: Don't worry about it.

Sassy Journalist: I think that I deserve to know.

Bald Billionaire: Good bye Chlo do not try to contact me. I promise you that what I am doing is the best for both of us.

Chloe stared at the screen why this was best for both of them. She was typing that when a message popped up and said that she had been blocked now she knew that she would never be able to talk to Lex again. Her heart sank when she suddenly realized there would be no more Lex in her life. No more of them watching corny movies together no more laughing together and she knew she had just lost her lover and her best friend all in one blow. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she shut the computer off and went to the bathroom she felt sick again. Once she had relieved her stomach of all its contents she sat down on the bathroom floor and just cried harder. Chloe didn't think she had been this attached to Lex but apparently she had been. Thoughts of them went through her mind remembering how she was always so excited when she knew he would be coming to see her, and when there was a set day she would count down the days. Never again would that happen she had no idea what he had planned for her but she knew whatever his security people told her to do she would have to do it. She had no choice now as far as anyone knew she had been dead for three years she couldn't just come back and start out her life all over again. She would find herself wondering about how much Clark and Lana had changed Lex never really talked about them when he came to see her she always had to press the subject and that seemed to annoy him especially when she asked about Clark. Chloe couldn't remember telling Lex that she had loved Clark at one point but he seemed to know about it for some reason, she never did ask him how he knew that there had been a time when she had loved Clark.

In the morning Chloe was awoken early by knocks on the front door. She had made herself look presentable real fast and then had rushed downstairs open the door. Her hair was still quite a mess and she was trying to fix it when she opened he door up for the security guards. They both entered and Chloe realized that she knew each of them well there names were Sam and John they were always the ones to come with Lex when he came here. They would stay in the apartment part of the house.

"Good morning Miss. Sullivan." Sam told her with his strong voice.

"Good morning Sam and John" Chloe said still trying to fix her hair yet curious as to what they were going to tell her.

"Don't worry about your hair Chloe we have something to do to it anyway." John said sternly.

He was never one for formalities Chloe thought and she wondered what they were going to do to her hair. That was when she noticed a bag in John's hands.

"What is that for?" Chloe asked John staring at the bag curiously she wanted to know everything that Lex had planned for her.

"For your new identity. Now go upstairs and get some decent clothes on and put this in your hair." John told her while he handed her two bottles of black dye.

He was always about his business Chloe thought to her self. She grabbed the dye out of John's hair not liking to be told what to do she stormed up the stairs. When she came back down an hour later her hair was black and she was wearing a tee-shirt and some jeans. Sam and John were sitting in the kitchen talking about something. She came in and stared at both of them.

"Come on and sit down we have some more things to talk about." John told her.

Chloe sat down next to Sam she didn't like John at all he was way too bossy even though she knew he was just trying to do his job. John had removed more from the bag he had brought he pulled out a camera and suddenly there was a flash before Chloe's eyes. She stared at him with cold eyes. He had ignored her and gave the camera to Sam who left abruptly.

"Where is he going?" Chloe asked John

"He has to go print out your picture and make you a new ID." John told her a little less sternly then when he had given orders to her.

"Who am I supposed to be?" Chloe asked curiously

"You are going to be Carley Davis. She was a real person and she recently died 2 months ago. No one really knew her so you don't have to worry. The witness protection program knows that you are going under this name so if you get caught up with the law in your new town it is only because they want to check up on you. That is unless you do something wrong." John said raising his eyebrows at Chloe he knew how much trouble she could be.

"What makes you think that I will get in trouble?" Chloe asked curiously

"Forget it Chloe. Now you have to know your own story so listen well because I am only going to say this once. You are going to be living in a town called Pleasentview in Indiana. You decided to move there because you wanted a change in your life, you moved from New York and you were getting sick of the city life. I have hooked you up with a job at the local paper it pays well and you can still be a journalist. If you meet anyone you tell them this if you make up something I haven't told you to someone you write it down and remember it. Everyone you meet needs to know the same story you are not allowed to tell anyone the truth even if you trust them. Do you understand?"

"Completely." Chloe said crossing her arms she didn't want to be someone she wasn't but she knew she had to.

"Good, you will start your new life right away. You work five days a week from nine in the morning until six at night. You get the weekends off and you will be monitored often. And no there are not going to be any cameras around just a few cops keeping a lookout." He had noticed the look she had given him when he had said monitored.

"I wouldn't expect any less of Lex." Chloe said sternly

Sam came back into the room and handed Chloe her new ID card she stared at it and thought that the new hair color made her look so different. She hated it she wanted to be Chloe Sullivan not Carley Davis. They were soon off and Chloe had to leave the home she had known for three years and then she really felt like her life with Lex was indeed over. She had packed some things making sure to leave the things Lex had gotten her behind. She had asked Sam and John why Lex had done what he had and neither of them said they knew they were just told to tell her about her new identity.
