Chapter 172

Chloe stood looking out her hotel room window, going over everything that had happened in her head. She wanted to feel something, anything, but her heart was in knots and her head was swimming. She knew her life's dream had always been to be with ASE, but not like this. 

Paul opened the adjoining door, knowing he screwed up. "Hey, Chloe. I guess I went too far tonight, huh? I just got my ass fed to me by Gage, my father, and the FBI. Not to mention my bitchy sister."
