< NEXT DAY ~ VALERIE’S HOME >
Chloe was putting on her shoes when the door open to reveal a maid.
“Some one is waiting for you down stairs” the maid said.
“Who?”
“Well it’s Mr Torres, he says he going to take you to school” the maid replied.
Did Bryan miss her so much that he came to take her to school? She thought as she quickly pick up her bag, dashing out of the room in excitement.
Due to the tinted glass, she couldn’t see who was in the car and it wasn’t until she was in the car that she realise that the person who came for her isn’t Bryan.
“What are you doing here?” Chloe asked.
“Start driving” Leo said to the chauffeur who drove off making it impossible for Chloe to get out of the car.
“What are you doing?” Chloe asked.
“So you are dating Bryan ” he said in return and Chloe would swear that she saw a bit of pain in his eyes before he masked it.
“I am and you should be happy. I finally have some one else to give my heart to and so you are free to….” She stop when he hit his hand on the door startling her.
“You are right! I should be happy but am not. You claim you love me and yet you went to my brother, why? To get back at me?” Leo asked.
“Am not as heartless as you, Leo” she said which got him smiling in anger.
“Mind explaining that?”
“You discarded my feelings for you and now that am happy with Bryan, you want me back? That’s some thing a heartless person would do. You’ve hurt me enough and it’s only right that you let me be now that am happy with Bryan” she replied.
“Am not the heartless one, Bryan is the heartless one!” Leo yelled at her.
“Bryan isn’t heartless and he….”
“He is! Bryan is heartless and the reason why I say that is because of Cathy ” Leo replied.
“What does Cathy have to do with this?” Chloe asked.
“The fact that he loves Cathy is the issue here, he still loves her and yet he’s fooling around with you” Leo replied.
“That’s a lie. Bryan loves me and I don’t care about this so called Cathy or…..”
“You should care about her cause she’s coming back and will definitely want her place back in Bryan life. She left him shattering his heart and she has a reason for it, a reason am sure that Bryan would understand and forgive her since he loves her” Leo said cutting her off abruptly.
“I don’t want to listen to this any more, so stop the car” she said trying to open the door.
“The driver will take us to school and it’s best that I tell you this than you to find out later, Bryan isn’t the guy for you. He’s only going to hurt you” Leo said and Chloe didn’t give him a reply in return.
All through the ride to school, she kept thinking about the things he told her.
When the driver finally stop the car, she got out of it, wanting to leave quickly but Leo caught hold of her hand and pulled her towards him.
Chloe staggered straight into his arms and using the opportunity of having her in his arms, He kissed her causing reactions from the students who were around.
Bryan who stood a distant away also saw the scene which made him angry.
“What are you doing?” Chloe ask pushing out of Leo arms.
“Kissing my fiancee ” Leo replied with a mischievous smile on his face.
“You really are a jerk!” She said turning to leave only to see Bryan approaching them.
“Bryan I….”
“Let’s go” Bryan said cutting her off abruptly.
Taking hold of her hand, he pulled her away from the vicinity while Leo stood watching them go with so much anger.

“Bryan, you are hurting me” she said wanting him to let her go but he ignored her, holding onto her hand tightly.
It wasn’t until they got to the roof top that he let her go.
“What was that all about?” Bryan asked still feeling angry.
“It’s nothing, you shouldn’t concern yourself with it” Chloe replied.
“I shouldn’t concern myself with it! For crying out loud, Leo kissed you” Bryan pointed out.
“That’s because he took me off guard. He had pulled me back and I…..it’s all a misunderstanding” She replied letting out a sigh.
“It isn’t a misunderstanding. It’s part of Leo trick. A trick you fell for Like a fool” Bryan said sounding insulting and that got Chloe angry too.
“Am not a fool! I thought you were the one who came to pick me this morning and so I got into the car only to realize that it isn’t you”
“You should have left the car when you knew that it isn’t me! You should have fled instead of him giving you a ride and kissing you. Am trying to look for ways to end the engagement between you two, do I have to also find a way to make you stay away from Leo” he yelled at her.
“You don’t have to! I can take care of myself and….”
“You definitely can’t cause if you can, you wouldn’t let Leo close to you!” Bryan snapped at her.
“That’s enough Bryan! It’s not my doing that Leo came to see me and it’s not my doing that he kissed me either. Your meant to trust me not to doubt me ” Chloe said feeling hurt by his words.
“I just….”
“And what about you? What about Cathy! Do you intend to dump me for her when she comes back?” Chloe yelled at him.
“Why are you suddenly talking about Cathy?” Bryan asked ruffling his hair.
“Why don’t you find that out yourself” she replied hotly turning to leave but he took hold of her hand.
“Where are you going? We are still talking”
“Am done talking to you! Leave me alone” she snap pulling her out of his.
Bryan felt like a jerk for the things he said to her and a part of him wanted to go after her to apologise but another stopped him due to the anger he’s still feeling.
Bryan was finally calming down when he got a call from Leo.
“Meet me at the science Lab” Leo told him before ending the call.
Clenching his fist in anger, Bryan made his way to the science lab.

< LATER THAT DAY ~ HOPE HOSPITAL>
“Where is her room?” Chloe asked as she and Bryan followed Carmen who led them to the Valerie’s ward.
As soon as the door open to Valerie ward, Chloe found herself starring at her look alike.
“My God! You two are identical” Bryan murmured behind her.
Valerie who couldn’t remember any one of them kept starring most especially at the girl who had the same face as her.
“Come in” Carmen urged and they both walk into the room leaving the door open.
Chloe was about to speak when they all heard a familiar voice at the door way.
“What the hell is going on?” Leo asked starring at Chloe then back to Valerie.
“Why is there two of you?” He asked Chloe who was too shock to say a thing.
