Chloe raised her hand to slap the brunette but Beca caught it, they stared into each other's eyes as Chloe's eyes had fear in them. Everyone was in shock and didn't know what to do as the scene unfolded.

"This is the last time you'll ever do such a thing," Beca said with firmness in her voice, her tone was ice cold.

"Leave me alone," Chloe said in a scared voice as she tried to escape the grip that Beca had on her. "Leave me,"

"Listen to me very well Chloe," Beca said in a low danger voice. "The first time you threw a glass of alcohol at me, and I let it slide. And your attempt to slap me, I will also let it slide. Only because I am trying to be respectful with you, but be careful, one more mistake and I will not let it slide." Beca threatened as she tugged Chloe one more time harshly. "Do you understand?"

"Leave me," The redhead begged. "You are a monster." She yelled as she ran to her room.

"What happened to you Beca?"

"I don't know," Beca said shaking her head. "I have never seen such an aggressive woman." She huffed in anger.

Chloe entered her bedroom followed by the tall brunette as she slammed the door. "Did you see what she did? She wants to wait till Saturday, let her wait. And when the day comes, I will kick her out on the streets!"

Stacie sighed, "Chlo, why do you hate her so much?"

"I hate her because she's his niece. Every time I see her, I remember..." She trailed off as tears spilled from her eyes.

"Don't think about it Chloe, start trying to forget about it."

"I wish I could forget." She said as she laid on the bed and continued to cry.

Still sitting in the backyard, Beca was pacing around. Jesse sighed. "Calm down."

"I am calm, but there is no way of us communicating together. I can't understand her. All this anger and hate in her eyes, for what reason? "

"There's only one explanation. She married him for the money, and when he died you came along and ruined her plans."

Beca sighed. "There is more to the story.


After about an hour, Stacie and Beca were sitting at the dining table, the short brunette wanted to talk about Stacie, but before she could, Eissa cleared her throat. "Ms. Stacie, is Mrs. Beale awake?"

"Why what's going on?" Beca asked the maid.

"I-I just wanted to ask her something."

"Is it something important?"

"I-uh,"

"Tell me what do you want Elissa?"

"Every weekend, I take a day off to go home and check on my son. And with the everything that happened, it's just that-"

"You want to take the tonight off?"

"Tonight?" Elissa asked with a hopeful expression. "T-That would be great, but what about Mrs. Beale?"

"Don't worry about her, go and see your son," Beca said to the woman. Elissa nodded and thanked them both as she left.

"You just love annoying her don't you?" Stacie asked as she took a sip from her wine.

"Me? Why would I do that?"

"Do you know what will she do when she knows you have Elissa the day off?"

Beca shrugged. "What would she do?"

"She'll go crazy,"

"More than she is now?"

Stacie sighed. "Chloe isn't crazy, she gets angry a little bit."

Beca scoffed. "A little bit huh?" She said with a smirk.

The tall brunette chuckled softly. "Yeah, a little bit."

"So tell me, Stacie, have you known Chloe for long?"

"Since we were little kids, our families are very close."

"So you both are friends since the time you were kids? And you still are her friend?" Beca asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

The nurse laughed."Don't let the looks fool you, Chloe is an amazing woman."

Beca hummed. "And how long have you been living here?"

"Almost a year since.." She suddenly stopped with wide eyes, then shook her head. "Since a year."

"And what do you work?"

"I am a nurse," She said with a sigh. "Was a nurse, I stopped when I came to live here."

"And what do you work?"

Beca smiled. "I don't work."

"Married?" She asked softly wanting to get to know the short brunette.

The niece tensed, "No," She then shook her head. "I was, but now I am not."


It was still one in the morning and Beca couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning but she just couldn't stop herself from thinking about everything that is happening. So she sighed and grabbed a glass of wine and started to walk around the large garden. Beca just wanted to understand what happened between Larry and Chloe, she put a million possibilities but nothing made sense.

She lifted her gaze and looked at Chloe's bedroom window. And she could see the redhead also looking at her through the window. Beca then saw Chloe leave her place as she laid on the sofa that was in the backyard and looked at the moon.


The next morning, Beca was having breakfast with her aunts in their house, she sighed and looked at her aunt Gina. "I am waiting for a couple of more days then we are going to have a conversation."

"About what honey?" Gina asked faking ignorance.

"About what honey?" Beca imitated her aunt. "Aunt G, you know exactly what I mean. Can I know why Uncle Larry has been married for eight years and I had no information about it?"

Gina gasped, "You didn't know?"

"Aunt Gina," Beca warned.

"I didn't know that you had no knowledge of it, I thought you knew." She then turned to her sister Liza. "Liza, did you know that Beca didn't know about the marriage?"

Liza shrugged, "All I know is that you knew. Why? Don't you know?"

"No I didn't," Beca said in annoyance. "You guys visit me in Canada more than five times a year. And you call me every day, why wouldn't you tell me that he was married?"

"Would you believe me if I said that I didn't know that you haven't had any idea about the marriage? Liza, didn't you notice that we never told Beca about it?"

Liza shook her head. "Nope, not at all."

"Alright, I have had enough, what are you two keeping away from me?"

"We aren't hiding anything!" Gina and Liza said in unison.

Beca looked at her aunts, "Look you two, this act doesn't just get passed by me, I want to know everything. EVERYTHING. The both of you, understood?"

"What?" They both said as they looked into Beca with full innocence.

"I want to know everything," Beca said firmly.

"All we know is that her father used to work in the wine company, Larry saw her once and liked her. And when she knew that he was loaded, she decided to stick to him," Gina said shrugging. "And he married her,"

"Why didn't he tell me?"

Liza shrugged. "You have to ask him for that,"

"Ask him? Do you want me to go up to the sky and ask him? Answer me Aunt G, why no one ever told me of this? And now what are you planning to do?"

"With what?"

"With Chloe,"

"You want to know don't you?" Beca said smirking, "Well Aunt G, I don't know what am I going to do," She then turned her gaze to Liza, "What about you Auntie Liza, don't you know anything?" She teased, knowing that it was her payback.

"I don't know if I know," Liza said shrugging. Beca sighed and shook her head.


Back at the Beale mansion, and since Elissa took the day off without Chloe knowing, Stacie thought it would be best if she brought the breakfast to Chloe. "Chlo, wake up, breakfast is ready,"

"I didn't sleep all night," Chloe said through a yawn.

"Why?"

"I don't know," Chloe sighed.

"Where's Elissa?"

Stacie stuttered. "I-uh, she's downstairs, come on eat up so we can go out."

"Where to?"

"Any place," The brunette answered.

The redhead shook her head. "I am not in the mood to go out. I want to stay in my room."

"Why are you acting as if Larry is still alive? Chloe, you are now a free woman, you can go wherever and whenever you want. We used to wish for the day to come where we can go out without being watched. And now when we have this day we are going to spend it at the house? Come on Chlo, we'll even have lunch as well," Chloe sighed and nodded as she ate a few bites and went to get dressed.

Chloe wasn't in the best food, after what happened last night between her and Beca, reminded her of Larry, and she was frightened to death. And as they made their way to the car, Chloe was silent, and Stacie was determined to know what was wrong with her best friend. So as soon as they reached and ordered their food, the tall brunette sighed. "Chlo, Larry is dead, do you understand that? We can go out, stay out all night and no one will ask us where we are."

"And no one would report me to Larry," Chloe said smirking. She then sighed, "I don't know what's going on with me, I am not comfortable, and I am not happy, I don't have it in me to go out, and at the same time I can't stay at home. I don't want to see her."

"You have to put up with her and stop causing problems,"

"I can't stand her!"

"Yesterday we had a drink together."

"Lucky you," Chloe said rolling her eyes at her best friend.

"Between us, she is hot," Stacie stated dreamily.

"Wake up Stacie! Don't be stupid, you know who she is, she's Larry's cousin."

"So?"

"She's like him!"

"If she's related to him, it doesn't mean that she is like him."

"You saw how she handled me yesterday, she's just like him, along with Gina and Liza. They are all the same." The redhead shook her head. "I don't want to stay here, let's go home." She then suddenly yelled. "WAITER!"


After leaving her Aunt's house, Beca drove to Jesse and Aubrey's. She needed someone to help her analyze the situation. So there she was, standing beside Jesse near the large window as they drank a glass of whiskey as they talked.

"There's something wrong," Beca stated.

"Like what?"

"Uncle Larry has been married for eight years and I didn't know about it, and my aunts didn't tell me and when I asked them about it they lied to my face. Why are they hiding it from me?"

"It's normal that he wouldn't tell you that he got married."

"Why?" Beca asked confused.

"Because he married a girl who is at the age of his daughter if he had one. How would you want him to tell you?"

"You know what confuses me? That my aunts hate her, they know that she married him for the money, and it is for their interest to tell me so that I could have intervened. But they didn't tell me. Why?"

"Why?"

"That's what I want to know."

"Maybe Liam knows."

Beca nodded, "I called him and asked for an appointment after tomorrow, maybe we'll understand what's going on."

Jesse sighed, "She is an attractive woman, but her actions are the opposite of her."

"You know, she reminds of..." Beca trailed off and huffed. "They are all the same." She said shaking her head.

"Didn't you forget about her?"

"I did, but I was reminded of her when I saw Chloe dancing and drinking on the night of my uncle's death. I can't absorb the idea."

"The idea of your uncle? Or what happened to you before you left to Canada?"

Beca just glared at the man and continued her drink as she gazed out of the large window.

"How's the love life?" Jesse asked changing the subject.

"You of all people know that there is no live life."

Just then Aubrey entered and spoke. "Are you really going to convince me that after all these years there is no love life? And you weren't with anyone?"

"Of course I had hookups, but that doesn't mean I am in love. These are two different things. Do whatever you want just don't fall in love. Nothing hurts more than love."

Aubrey raised her eyebrow. "Is love a decision you decide to take or not?"

Beca nodded, "Of course it is, your mind decides whether you want to fall in love or not."

"Stop saying none sense, a person never knows when he'll be in love," Jesse said with determination.

"Not true, it's been over ten years and I am not in love, you know how many women I went out? A lot but I didn't fall in love with any of them."

"You didn't love them not because you decided not to love them, but because you simply didn't. There was no passion."

"Not true,"

Jesse nodded, "It is, but I won't argue with you about it now when you fall in love you'll know."

"Me? Fall in love?" Beca said scoffing. "No way, love goes nowhere, look at my uncle, he married Chloe because he loved her but she went out clubbing before she could bury him underground."

"He loved the wrong person," Aubrey argued. "He took a girl who chose him for his money."

"For his money?" Beca laughed dryly. "Who's money? Uncle Larry doesn't have money."

"What?" Both Aubrey and Jesse asked in shock.

"He doesn't have any money," Beca repeated.

"Larry doesn't have money?" Aubrey asked with wide eyes.

Beca shook her head. "Not one cent."

"How is that possible? What about the wine company? The mansion? The maids and drivers?"

"You see everything you just mentioned? The things Chloe things she owns? This is all mine, all these years I have been paying for his living."


A/N: Oh oh! What does this mean? What do you guys think will happen?
