Chapter 2

To the stars that listened and dreams that were answered✨

"Stop this Khloe , drinking wouldn't solve your problems", Rianne scolds at me.

It was the painful truth , a glass of tequila down and nothing has  changed. She tries to take the bottle from me but fails,

"It's a whole freaking year with a demon!" I cry out loudly then gulp another of the Mexican alcohol.

       "Khloe I know you're extremely sad and am sorry but drinking wouldn't help and besides he might not be the devil you think----", she barely finishes her statement when she saw the the looks I shot at her, looks that could send her six feets below the earth .

"I'm sorry I guess I'm not helping"

"Yes your not," I mutter. She moves over to my side of the counter and gives me a warm hug.

" I stench of alcohol", I complain as she hugs me,

"it doesn't really matter",she replies.

Riane is more than a best friend she's a sister. She's made my journey of being an only child less boring.

     I break from her hug when I hear the sound of a car horn. I could feel my face drain of all colour and animation,

"Oh my God he's here" I look at her terrified.

      Durango is here to take me to his house as his contract fiancee and very soon wife.

Unfortunately this was part of the agreement that I move in with him to make to whole act believable.

"It's probably not him",she sighs as I run up the stairs to my room to lock myself.

  I didn't want to start living with him at least not this soon.

"I'll go check Khloe if it makes you feel any better,... I hope you have no alcohol up there"she jokes, she knew pretty well I wasn't a fan of alcohol.

"If it's him tell me , don't allow him to come upstairs" I shout from behind closed doors.

      I sit on my bed holding Mister, a white teddy bear Riane got for me on Valentine's day.

     Soon after I start hearing footsteps ascending upstairs but they were light so I was guessing it was Riane.

"Khloe?", I open the door slightly to peep at Riane.

"Is he here? I mean Durango the devil?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am"she replies before i open the door wider.

"WTf!, Your no princess I have somewhere to go to"

I halt in my tracks when I see Durango right in front of me.

"Why are you looking at me like you just saw a ghost?"

I turn my gaze to Riane,

"I swear I left him downstairs and I told him to stay there"she defends her self.

He scoffs, "and to think I'll actually listen to you".

     He walks into without any permission and examines it.

"Tsk!pink" he says in utter disgust.

"Your comment was not needed", I retort. He snorts," just get your fucking things would you',he says nonchalantly checking his wrist watch. Damn he's so goddam rude.

Riane helps me with my things and I get some of my luggages , we carry it downstairs and keep it the boot of his car.

"Get into the passengers seat--" he removes my hand from the backseat door violently then slams it close.

"Get in" he says pointing at the passengers seat--.

"Why are you being so difficult? It doesn't matter which seat I sit on . Isn't it bad enough I'm already in your car?", I groan loudly.

"Now listen I'm not your chauffeur, if you want one I'll get you, now get in"

"Khloe please just get in " Riane pleads , she was already tearing up.

"You should listen to your friend before I hurt you",

"Well I'll like to see you try MOFO!" I regretted those words two seconds after saying them.

He held unto my hand , his grip was so strong that it hurt.

"Not today you were just welcomed into the family", he says then pushes me into the passengers seat locks the door opens the gate then zooms off.

He didn't even give me a chance to say bye to my best friend.

     My eyes were clouded with tears but I wouldn't shed a tear in front of him. I promised myself I wouldn't do it again. Never again would he see me cry.

    The ride to his house was painfully quiet . All he did was steal glances at me. He couldn't even apologize for hurting me, he's so unremorseful.

We reached a huge black gate and the gate opened. My eyes were greated by a very huge fancy edifice. I couldn't help but awe at his house, I could never call this place home.

"Khloe", he calls my name and I must say it caught me off guard. I didn't reply him I was still putting up an attitude.

He goes on to speak,"you can disrespect me all you want but I'll let you know that you should never disrespect Nanny Isabelle, she's more than a Nanny to me . I'm warning you now because if you ever do you'll have more reasons to regret seeing the face of the Earth"

All I did was snort at his warning, it obviously got he mad but he chose not to say or do anything which I must say was a very good choice to make.

He drove in and parked in front of his mansion. An elderly woman comes out with a lass by her side who looked just like her. Blonde hair beautiful blue eyes, but on the contrary the woman looked much older like she was in her late forties and the girl looked like thirteen.

She gave Durango a big hug then looked at me; "and you must be Khloe",she said pulling me into an embrace.

At least someone here has some positive energy.

"Good day Nanny Isabelle", a brilliant smile flashes across her face;" I see Durango has briefed you on me" I nod in approval although what he did was threaten me.

"Come over here and stop acting shy we all know your such chatterbox" she says to the lass.

With that the teen smiles and comes closer to me,

"Hi I'm Mia, and she's my Nana" she says with such an angelic smile.

If such beautiful souls stayed with Durango how come he oozed bad energy?

Anyways he helps me get out my luggages from the boot because he was pretending to be all lovey dovey to me around his Nanny.

"Nan I've got to go" he gives her a peck on her cheek.

"Won't you spend time with us I finally got to meet your fiancee" she groans.

Funny how I jumped a lot of processes in this relationship thing. We aren't even friends but yet I'm his fiancee and very soon we'll be tieing the knot.

"Khloe understands", he moves towards me and plants a peck on my cheek, "behave "he whispers into my ears and his grip on my waist tightens.

All I do is flash a fake smile at Nanny Isabelle she so was ignorant on what was going on and so was her granddaughter.
