The next morning, Chloe was exhausted. Without any words, she entered her bedroom and laid on the bed like a dead person as she took off her shoes and closed her eyes.

Downstairs, Beca and Stacie were ready to have breakfast, but the brunette noticed that Chloe isn't around, she looked at Stacie and spoke. "Chloe isn't coming to breakfast?"

Stacie shook her head. "She just came back, I don't think she'll have breakfast."

The short brunette hummed then looked at Stacie with confusion. "Back from where?"

"From outside,"

"You mean since last night she was out? She never came back?"

Stacie nodded, "Yeah,"

"Did she sleep over at someone's house?"

The brunette shook her head quickly. "No, not at all. She wouldn't sleep, my guess is that she spent all night awake."

"Why?"

Stacie shrugged, "It's the way it is, but it's for the better, notice if you see her today, her personality is different and her mood got better."

Just then Chloe appeared in the dining room. "Every time I see you guys, you are talking about me," She said as she took her place at the dining table. "Are you asking about me again?"

Beca shook her head. "I just wanted to make sure your okay,"

Chloe looked at her with confusion. "Why? What's wrong with me?"

"Because yesterday you weren't okay?" Beca stated as if it wasn't clear for the redhead.

"I was okay, and in fact, I am doing great, more than you imagine." She then looked around the table. "ELISSA!"

"Yes, Mrs. Beale?"

"The tea is cold, and the toast isn't burnt."

"I'll change it for you right away."

"You know what? Get me a new breakfast and get it to my room." She demanded as she left for her room.

Beca gave Stacie a glare. "It's a good thing she spent the night out right? Her mood is definitely changed and she got better." She said sarcastically with a sigh.

After breakfast, the brunette got herself ready and drove to Liam's office so that they can discuss a few thing. She waited for her name to be called and when it was, she entered the office.

"Good morning Beca, how are you doing?" The old lawyer asked as he ushered Beca to her seat.

"I'm good, in all honesty, I came here today to talk to you about something. But before that, I have a question."

"I'm sure you want to ask me how could your uncle marry that woman,"

Beca shook her head. "No, I want to ask you how did my uncle die,"

"What do you mean?" Liam asked in confusion as he was taken aback by the question.

"My question is clear. How did my uncle die."

"I don't understand. Didn't you know that he was sick?"

"I do,"

"And he told me that he was doing better and all of a sudden he got worse."

"That is correct. And he died in a sudden. Didn't your aunts tell you that he got really tired in his last days?"

The brunette nodded, "They did, but..." She trailed off.

"But what? What are you thinking?"

"His wife. Do you know how they met?"

"Her father used to work for your uncle."

"At the wine factory? What did he work?"

"He used to work in finance, and he must have seen her there, and he didn't tell me that he got married until a few months later."

"And her father stopped working at the factory?"

Liam nodded, "He left when Chloe married Larry."

Beca sighed. "I don't understand how she could manipulate him into marrying her."

"No one knows anything. I only saw her once before I saw her at the funeral."

Beca jerked her head up to the lawyer. "What?"

"The first time I saw her was when I had to pass by the mansion and give him papers, I saw her outside, she barely said a word when I talked to her. So that's why I can't help you with that."

"Wait, hold up. My uncle was married for eight years, and you never saw her with him?"

"She didn't go out with him a lot. And on the day Larry died, I passed by to tell her that I will be taking care of the funeral but they told me that she isn't at home. So the next day I went and introduced myself to her. It was the first time I ever talked to her. But what's weird she never knew about you."

Beca scoffed, "She never knew about me and I never knew about her."

Stacie entered Chloe's room to find her staring out the window. "Good, your up."

"Who said I'm up?" Chloe said softly. "I'm still asleep,"

"Good to know, so that I won't raise my voice." She joked as they both giggled. "What's the wrong Chlo?"

Chloe sighed. "I'm scared."

"Scared of what sweety?"

"After tomorrow is Saturday,"

"So?" Stacie asked in confusion.

"They will open the will." She stated simply.

"Are you afraid that Larry canceled the contract of the house?"

"No, you of all people know that I want to sell the house."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm scared that he hadn't left the financial bonds."

"Where would they be? I'm sure it's in the will. We searched the house for them."

"Are you sure you searched his room?"

Stacie nodded, "I haven't left an inch of the room and I didn't find anything."

"Did you look in his clothes? Pockets?"

"If you want we can go together and search."

"No," Chloe stated firmly. "I will not enter his room. Leave it be, we will find them." She said with a sigh. "He promised to leave them."

"I'm sure they are in the will."

Liam sighed. "I have to ask again, Larry never told you he married?"

"Not him nor my aunts."

Liam shook his head. "It's weird, most of the people he knew were informed that he was married and none of them have seen her,"

"What do you mean?"

"You know that Larry never had guests over, and when he did he used to take them out for dinner,"

"How come he never took her with him?"

"He used to say that she doesn't like going out."

"It's impossible, Chloe married him for his money, how come she doesn't go out with him and show her face to people? Was my uncle that blind?"

Liam shrugged, "That's all I know."

Beca nodded, "Moving on, what about this will that he left? Although he doesn't own anything."

"He has a few stuff he wanted your aunts to have and some money."

"What about the contract of the house that Chloe mentioned?"

"It's true, he did a contract for the house but it's not official."

The brunette shook her head. "But the house is mine,"

"I know, but maybe he did that so that she will stay with him. When he asked me to write the will, he gave me the contract and told me to keep it with the will and give it to Chloe when he dies."

"So he wanted to take revenge on everything she did with him."

"All I could tell you is that the contract doesn't mean anything, it's unofficial."

Beca sighed and had an idea. "Look, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"You know that I left everything here since my father died, and my aunts aren't in need of cash because I have everything ready for them, till yesterday I was planning on selling everything because I don't live here anymore,"

"So you want to sell everything?" Liam questioned.

"Up until yesterday I had that decision, but I changed my mind, something happened last night and I want to make sure of it."

After her meeting, Beca and Jesse agreed to meet at one of the coffee shops near the office. Beca told everything that has happened the previous nights and about her doubts.

"What are you thinking?"

"What your thinking," Beca replied. "You should have seen her last night, crying and shaking like a small kid. It's like she is another person. All the hate she carries on her face disappeared. Why would someone who is rude as Chloe, would cry like a small baby? What would make her do something like that unless it was fear? Why would someone like her think that my uncle is coming to kill her?"

"Because she married him because of his money."

Beca shook her head. "You didn't see her last night. She did something, and to think that Larry is coming back to kill her has one meaning. She killed him."

"Are you crazy?!"

"She might have, you didn't see the pills she takes. All those were anxiety and nervous breakdowns. She's not normal! She didn't sleep at the house last night. She went out at twelve PM and came back at eight AM."

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know, I'm sure she has a boyfriend. I have seen a lot of women but like her type? I have never seen. She's insensitive and without a conscious."

"How about we go and ask the doctor that treated your uncle?"

"I wanted to sell everything and leave this country once and for all, but now? I want to stay and understand what the hell was going on. I want to make her taste her own medicine for all what she did to my uncle." Beca said with anger in her voice as she took out her phone and called her aunts to give her the number of the doctor that treated her uncle, she found out the name and called for an appointment.

Almost an hour later, Beca opened the door of the mansion while Chloe was making her way down on the stairs, "Oh wow," Chloe said sarcastically. "You have keys to the house now?"

"Yeah, I don't want to wait for someone to open the door."

Chloe nodded, "They told me that you took one of the cars, although I was very clear this morning about saying that everyone in the house should get their permission from me. If you don't understand English tell me so that I can talk to you with the language you understand."

"Oh, you speak English? Very good, I never knew because not how you look or speak say that you even went to school. Excuse me." Beca said as she left and went to the backyard where Stacie was sitting.

"Chlo, let's go out. I am very bored."

"I'm not in the mood Stace," Chloe said in a low voice.

"Hey, Stacie" Beca greeted. "I heard you were bored."

"Yeah, I am very bored."

"Then let's go out."

"I don't mind," Stacie replied.

"Then I am inviting the both of you to the most amazing restaurant."

"What do you think Chlo? Will you go?"

"Of course..." She trailed off and looked at Beca. "Not."

Beac sighed. "Have other plans?"

"No, but on what basis are you asking us out for dinner? Are we friends?"

"No, but we can be..."

"I don't want us to be friends, and I don't want you to invite us for dinner. I don't want to have dinner with you."

Beca shrugged. "Fine by me, we will have dinner here, I already invited my friends for dinner so I will make it here instead of going out. Because in all honesty, I don't have it in me to leave two beautiful ladies alone."

"What? Who do you think you are to invite people to my house?"

"Wait, you said your house? Because as far as I know in two days the will is going to be opened and besides it's our house."

"First of all, it's in one day, because we will open it in the morning, and in the afternoon, I will be throwing you out."

Beca nodded, "So I still have one day for me to invite my friends? Great, then I will Jesse and his wife. So please, I beg of you, try to be polite? I know I'm asking for too much and impossible but you can at least make an effort okay?" She said standing up. "Oh, and by the way, effort means attempt, if you haven't understood it yet." She smirked as she left the two best friends. Stacie stifled a laughter and got a glare from the redhead.

"You know? I won't let anyone throw her out. I will personally throw her out." Chloe said.

Aubrey and Jesse were getting ready for their dinner with Beca, the blond wasn't too happy about going to the mansion.

"I don't understand, why are we going to the mansion? We could have had dinner anywhere else," Aubrey huffed as she applied her makeup.

"I told her, but she insisted on coming."

"What's the point in going to a place where we aren't wanted."

Jesse sighed, "Do it for Beca, it's only a couple of days and she'll head back to Canada."

"If she starts spitting nonsense like last time I won't keep my mouth shut."

"Bree, leave her be. Don't stop at every word she says."

"She says words?" Aubrey said scoffing.

"Every time you guys meet I have my hand in my heart because I know that in a split of a second you will fight."

"Besides, she is a different person with me since Marry."

"She didn't change just with you, she changed with everybody."

"Will all the women," She said pointing out.

"Yes with all the women,"

Aubrey stood up and made her way and stood in front of her husband. "She thinks all women are like Marry? They marry a person for their money and they cheat?"

Jesse sighed. "For god's sake, why are we talking about this now?"

"Because she has to understand that not all women are the same! She has to respect the woman and know that not everyone cheats on their partner."

"So you are going to educate her about this or what?" Jesse said in anger. "If she wants to think in that way let her be!" He yelled as he left the room followed by Aubrey.

Half an hour later, Jesse and Aubrey were sitting with Beca, Chloe, and Stacie in the living room.

"I told Melissa to prepare all the food you love," Beca said to Jesse. "Coquilles Saint-Jacques, Moules Marinières and Buckwheat Crêpes," She said with a smile and turned to Chloe. "Do you know these dishes, Chloe?"

The redhead crossed her arms and looked at the brunette. "No, I know burgers, french fries, and pizza," She replied sarcastically.

Beca nodded, "I also thought so, but anyway you will try them now." She said with a smirk on her face. "Do you want me to tell you what they mean?" She then asked.

"Nah, let me guess when I see them," She replied annoyed. Beca nodded and Stacie tried to ease the tension. "What do you work Aubrey?" She asked politely.

"I used to work as a dancer."

"Oh like a stripper?" Chloe asked blatantly.

Aubrey shook her head and exhaled a breath. "I used to belly dance,"

"She stopped when we got married," Jesse pointed out.

"You mean you forced her to stop when you got married."

Jesse shook his head. "She stopped decided to herself." He said with a tight lip smile. "Isn't that right sweety?" He then asked his wife who looked hurt and sad but he didn't notice.

Aubrey stayed silent for a few moments and then sighed. "Yeah..." She trailed off.

"And he told you that in order to get married you have to stop right?" Chloe then asked with an accusation tone.

"And she agreed," Beca said interfering. "And the story finishes here."

Chloe scoffed, "For you and him the story is finished. But for her, the story doesn't finish at that." She said earning a glare from Beca.

"D-Do you have kids Aubrey?"

The blond nodded, "A boy, Mark. He is seventeen."

"Oh wow, you don't look like a mother who has a seventeen-year-old boy,"

Aubrey blushed. "Thank you,"

Beca cleared her throat. "How about we head to the dining table?" She said in order to change the subject.

"Or how about we cut this conversation?" Chloe asked with a smirk.

"Isn't that better?" Beca suggested.

Chloe shrugged. "For you and your friend? Of course, it's better because this conversation will annoy him and it will remind his wife of her problem." She said as she earned another glare from Jesse.

"Let's head to the dining room," Beca said standing up.

"Your house is beautiful Becs," Aubrey said softly.

"You mean my house," Chloe interfered. "After a couple of days Beca will be heading back to Canada, she still has a couple of days to spend in my house and after that, she either becomes homeless or at her aunts, the old maids." She said referring to Gina and Liza who aren't married.

Beca cleared her throat. "Go ahead, you can head to the table, I will follow in a few moments," She said with a tight smile.

Chloe turned her back to walk away but only to be yanked by the arm from Beca and as a result of the sudden pull, it brought them face to face. "Leave me!" She said in a low panicking as her heart was beating fast.

"Are you that impolite?" Beca asked in anger as her hand made her way to grip Chloe's waist.

"Why? Since when a person who says the truth is impolite?" She said as their faces were too close.

"Do you have a thing for making people hate you? If that's your aim then you better feel pretty damn good about it because be sure that all of the people hate you and the first on the list is me."

"Great, why are you so pissed then?"

"I am pissed because I am the one who hadn't achieved her goal." She said with anger as she inched closer to Chloe's face.

"Oh yeah? What's your goal?"

"To give you the re-education you desperately need." She said as she placed her hand on Chloe's waist and got her closer. Their noses were touching. "And I will do it."

"Stay away from me!" She whispered-yelled as she pushed Beca's hands away but the brunette held tighter.

"There's nothing in the world that would bring me close to you." She said as she brushed her nose on Chloe's nose and their lips got closer. Beca then dropped her hand and left to the dining room.

Chloe's was breathing hard. She couldn't believe what was happening.

After dinner, Chloe was showing Aubrey the bathroom, and they were descending the stairs when the blond stopped. "Thank you for dinner."

"You should thank Beca, she invited you, not me."

"It doesn't matter how hard you try to hurt people, your pain won't get easy."

Chloe took a step back and looked at the blond. "W-What do you mean?"

"I meant what I said. "It doesn't matter how hard you try to hurt people, your pain won't get easy, it'll get stronger and harder."

"How could you speak to me in that way?"

But before Aubrey could answer, Beca came behind them. "Is something wrong?"

Aubrey shook her head. "I was just washing my hands." She said as she made her way downstairs. Chloe ran to her room as Beca looked at her leave. Chloe opened the door and locked it as she closed her eyes, all she could see was Larry trying to choke her. She opened her eyes and ran to her closet.

A/N: I would like to thank you for your reviews. They are awesome. Tell me what you guys think is going on here.
