Chapter 6
(Italics are thoughts of characters)
Chloe is getting ready in her room at the mansion when she hears familiar voices in the hall. Since she knows her arrival is supposed to be the grand surprise of the evening she just peeks out the door to get the smallest glimpse of her soul mate.
"Nicole, I told you it will never happen! You are married to my grandfather for Christ sakes! You need to get a grip on reality!"
"Oh, Come on Brady you know he doesn't make me feel alive! Not the way you do. After all we shared I thought you knew me better than to think I am only after your body and a cheap fling."
What???? All we shared???? What the hell has been going on since I was in Europe?
"Look Nicole I told you once and I'll tell you again you are my grandmother, I don't have those feelings for you!"
"You certainly seemed to have those feelings for me the other night when I kissed you. You didn't push me away then."
That bitch! I'll kill her!
"Nicole, I told you I love Chloe, even though we are going through some rough times right now I can't give up on her, she is my soul mate not you. I was lonely and confused and I shouldn't have responded the way I did but that doesn't change the fact of who I WANT to be with."
Chloe brightened slightly at hearing Brady profess he still loved her but still had trouble processing how he could have even thought of kissing Nicole. God I hope he didn't catch anything from her.ewww.Chloe thought and shuddered.
"I am going to get ready for grand dad's party now Nicole I suggest you be the dutiful little wife I know you can play and do the same." With that Brady turned from Nicole and entered his room and shut the door.
"Ughh Brady! You don't know what you're missing, but I intend to make sure you don't miss it for very much longer. I got to get ready and look my best, after all a girl's got to knock em dead." Nicole chuckled to herself and went to her room to get ready.
Unbeknownst to the two that had just left the hallway Chloe shut her door and thought: What was that comment about.knock em dead? You won't be knocking anything dead if I have anything to say about it. Chloe then continued to get ready for the party.
*8 o'clock that evening* Brady, Nicole and Victor were downstairs waiting for the guests to arrive. The tension in the room was palpable.
I hope things will change after my grandson sees what I have planned for him tonight, Victor thought and smiled. Nicole sauntered up to him and in a caustic, sarcastic but sugary sweet voice asked: What are you grinning about 'old man'?"
"You'll see soon enough, my dear. Soon enough"
For some reason Nicole felt uneasy at his words but shrugged it off when the doorbell suddenly rang. "I'll get it." She announced anything to get away from the old coot.
Nicole opened the door and gasped at the fine male specimen that stood in front of her. "Hello, Nicole."
"Hel...hello."
The man with dark hair and brown eyes walked slowly into the room, "I am at the right place am I not?"
Victor suddenly strode into the room, "Brandon Walker, how are you doing I am so glad you could make it tonight."
"Sorry for the intrusion Victor but I felt I was needed here and."
"Not a problem, my boy not a problem, I understand why you came I really do. Go grab a glass of champagne and enjoy yourself the others shall be here soon."
"What is he doing here?" Nicole asks Victor.
"I believe Mr. Walker will be a great comfort to one of our guests tonight." Victor replies and smiles mysteriously.
