Immediately I got home I was met with silence meaning no one was home so I decided to take a nap to relax my aching back before waking up later, coming down for a glass of water and to feed my raging stomach.

I hit up the spaghetti I brought from the restaurant yesterday while doing so I did a little clean-up around the house before seating in the kitchen to enjoy a plate of spaghetti with a glass of water.

The house is so quiet that I almost died of boredom before picking up my phone to call Emma, she picks on the third ring with a whisper " Hello Shiloh"

" where are you and why are you whispering?" I ask confused before taking a bite from the spaghetti curled around my fork.

"I am currently having lunch with my family and Damien's family, and you know my Mum hates having phones ringing when eating with family, " she says still whispering.

I know about Emma's Mum's disapproval when it comes to picking calls when the family is eating together so I don't blame Emma for being cautious" okay I will call you later don't forget to greet your family on my behalf" I say before ending the call.

Emma has a younger brother Ethan who is just 14 years while Damien has two elder sisters being the only son in the family.

I take a sip from the glass of water before dialing Mum Elaine's number, she picked at the first ring " how are you doing dear?" She asks cheerfully.

I laugh elated "I am doing good "

"That's good, am expecting everyone today for dinner at the house," she says warmly.

"Okay I will be there for dinner "

"Okay, I am in a meeting right now so see you later, " she says before we both exchange goodbyes.

I place my phone on the table contemplating going with my instinct or saving myself the trouble.

The phone ring a few times before going into voicemail " Mum please if you get this message call back I need you right now" I say before ending the call.

As usual, I know she won't call back but a girl can hope, right?.

I continue eating in silence before hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, Chance walks in looking handsome as always with gray sweatpants hanging around his waist lazily and a white t-shirt.

I watch him as he moves swiftly towards the fridge filling an empty glass with water before gulping down the content.

Clearing my throat and most importantly the sinful imagination in my mind " umm.... would you like to eat anything?" I ask immediately he placed the glass back on the rack.

"Yeah," he says but before I could stand up to get him a plate he stopped me " I will get it myself"

I reply with an okay before focusing my attention on my food, after dishing himself a plate he took a seat across mine taking a bite from his food.

We continue eating in silence before hearing him push a key towards me, my eyes flick between the key on the table and him confused" this is the key to your new car" he says smugly making me more confused.

"I don't need a car I am okay taking the bus," I say matter of fact pushing the key towards him. I do need the car but he doesn't need to know that.

"Just take the key and stop acting obstinate" he scoffs before pushing the key back " and I don't want you asking guys for a lift " he mumbled under his breath making it difficult for me to even hear anything he said.

I stare at him dumbfounded before smirking taking the opportunity to tease him" Chance are you jealous?" I tease him gaining a surprised look from him.

He laughs lightly not of humor but of mockery " I have a fiancée and I am so much in love with her so don't take this good deed to heart, okay?" he says giving me a look before taking a bite from his food.

It hurts hearing that from him, it was different when Samantha said it but hearing him say he loves her is painful and heartbreaking.

I glob down the tears before taking the key from the table " I will pay you back the money you use in getting the car " I say.

"And how are you planning on doing that?" He asks with a raised eyebrow with a visible smile on his lip.

"I will get a job " I shrug taking both our empty plates placing them in the dishwasher.

"I wish you luck," he says not believing my words, if only he knows.

"Mom invited us for dinner, " I say remembering the call I had with Mum Elaina today.

"I don't want you there," he says with all seriousness.

"Why?" I ask staring at him intensely waiting for an answer.

"Just listen to me," he says before leaving the room.

I cleaned up the mess before joining him in the living room, we watched a movie before being distracted by someone yawning behind me.

I turn around to find a lazy-looking Louis wearing only blue jeans and a white singlet" you were inside all this time?" I ask while he walks into the kitchen leaving my question hanging in the air.

"He was probably enjoying his alone time" Chance shrug focusing his attention on the TV show going on.

Louis comes back in with a plate of spaghetti and a glass of juice before taking a seat beside Chance" I had a peaceful sleep" he says answering my previous question.

We watch the show in silence before I felt the need to take my new car on a test drive, "I am going out for groceries," I say before walking out.

I walk out to find a black new car looking pretty expensive parked making me stare in wow, I pull the key from my jean pocket before stepping into the car.

I drove off in my new car, it feels good saying that.

Within a few minutes, I park properly in the parking lot in front of the supermarket, without wasting time getting the necessary things needed before paying with Chance card then drove back to the house.

"Let me help you with those, " Louis says walking towards me before helping in taking the groceries out of the car.

He helped me in placing things appropriately in the kitchen "where is Chance by the way"I ask noticing his absence placing the roll of butter into the fridge while Louis carefully arranges the eggs on the creates.

"He went over to his parent's house, " he says before a frown appear on his countenance, " he said to tell you not to bother coming for dinner "

Closing the fridge I focus my attention on him " do you have any idea why Chance is asking me not to go for the dinner?" I inquire narrowing my eyes at Louis trying to bring the truth out of him. He didn't actually ask but insisted which is so confusing.

"I have no idea but, he has his reason, " he says seriously before getting a napkin to clean his mess.

"I can't decline Mum Elaina's request for dinner just because he says I shouldn't," I say matter of fact.

He can't just say something without stating the reason why and expect me to follow like a lost puppy, the new Shiloh would stand for herself and make her own decision.

"It doesn't matter what his reasons are, I am going," I say making up my mind. Louis shrug before changing the subject.

We both continue the task at hand before deciding to get ready for dinner, Emma and Damien would be meeting us there.

I took a well relaxing shower or more like a cold relaxing shower since Chance refuses to fix the hot button but I am getting used to the cold shower already.

I wrap a towel around my body rubbing body lotion on my body before placing myself at the front of the mirror doing light makeup consisting of mascara, red lip gloss, and concealer.

I curl my hair, satisfied with my look I took the neatly placed blue off-shoulder gown on the bed.

The gown still fits perfectly pairing it up with blue pencil heels complimenting the gown.

I twirl in front of the mirror feeling lovely and happy even if it's only for the moment.

Before hearing Louis yelling for me to get down then put my phone into my black handbag before checking my look ones again.

I rush out of the room to find Louis standing in the living room dressed in black pants and a white button-up shirt neatly tucked in and a red suit, his hair looking neatly combed in place.

A smile grace my lip " you look ready to kill"I tease walking towards him, my heels making a clicking sound in the silence of the house.

His face forms into a scowl" you should be drooling for my handsomeness"

"But I just complimented you," I say feigning innocence.

He sighs loudly" you are not bad yourself "

We both laugh loudly before leaving towards Louis's parked car but not after locking the house doors.

"Emma and Damien are on their way over there," he says tucking his phone back into his pocket.

The drive there was a 35 minutes drive, Louis parked the car properly before we both step out finding Damien's car already parked in the driveway.

We were being directed by a maid towards the leaving room where Mum Elaina, Emma, Damien, and Chance are seated conversing and laughing.

Chance's parent home is more like a mansion than a house beautifully sculpted to perfection both inward and out.

"You are both late" she scolds playfully sending a glare our way.

"Put all the blame on Shiloh for taking hours getting ready, " Louis says hugging Mum Elaina before making himself comfortable on the chair leaving me to fend for myself.

I glare at him while he just shrugs before hugging Mum Elaina and laughing lightly.

We talk for a few minutes before a maid announces the food was ready and by my lucky stars, Mr. Colt ( Chance's father) would be joining us for dinner.

I have seen him a few times but he doesn't really like me or even acknowledge me as Chance's girlfriend while we were still dating so you can say I am actually intimidated and anxious to see him.

We took our seat with Mr. Colt seating at the head of the table, Mum Elaina by his right, Chance by his left, and an open seat between him and Louis. I don't know why but Mr. Colt specifically demands no one seat there.

Emma sits beside Mum Elaina while I seat between her and Damien.

We all seat in silence waiting for no one in particular for a few seconds before a very familiar voice made herself known" sorry I am late" she says taking a seat beside Chance her signature smile in place.

I blink a few times before shifting my gaze towards my lap understanding what was going on and I can't believe I am reckoning this but.

I am already feeling regretful for coming here.
