Chapter 1

I arrive at my destination with seconds to spare. As I walk up the lane to the heavy wooden door I desperately search through my purse trying to find the key that 'he' had sent me in the mail. He knew he would be the only one home besides the help when I arrived and he wanted my arrival to be kept a secret even from them. I could understand his reasoning, I guess, even though a lot of people would be glad I was back there were some that probably wished I would have stayed away. One of those being the person I desperately wanted to see with all my heart. To be honest I didn't know how he was going to react having me thrust upon him in this manner but C'est la Vie as the French say.

I open the door as quietly as I can and sneak into the house. I am supposed to meet him in the study. As I walk toward the room I grow increasingly nervous about talking with the man who brought me back, he said someone I knew would also be there but not to worry they would make me feel at ease. I stop before I open the door to the study I can hear low voices from the other side. I say to myself, "Well, Chloe it's now or never" I ease open the door and am shocked with the scene I come face to face with.

"Oh mi god", I say and smile "Victor said it would be someone to put me at ease but what are YOU doing here?"
