The next day,
on her way to school, Bonnie encountered Charles. He began another lie, and she listened to him. Meanwhile, Chloe, observing them from a distance, became curious. She instructed her driver to drive closer and record their conversation.
The driver expressed concern about being noticed.
'Don't worry,' Chloe reassured, 'just pretend you're interested in buying something.'
The driver complied, and Chloe discreetly began video recording.
'Stephen has a plan B. Charles said. Even as we speak, he's sent a girl to deceive you with sweet lies to lure you back. If you fall for it, he'll immediately try to sleep with you and then discard you. I was comforted to know the reason why he is desperate to do this. He admitted that he doesn't love or care about you; he just wants to use and abandon you. You must be cautious.'
'So, he still has the nerve to make such a plan?' Bonnie exclaimed.
'I'm telling you this because I love you and want to protect you,' Charles assured her.
'Thank you,' Bonnie replied, 'I might have made a huge mistake otherwise.'
'I love you so much,' Charles continued, 'and I want to marry you. I can do anything for you; you're my world.'
Bonnie blushed. 'Okay, but I'm going through a difficult time. Please give me some time to think.'
'I understand,' Charles said. 'Thank you. I love you.'
'You're welcome,' Bonnie replied.
"But, on one condition: the day you accept me as your boyfriend, I want Stephen to be present and witness it."
'Why?' Bonnie asked.
'I want him to see how serious I am about you,' Charles explained. 'He'll know I'm not playing games.'
'Alright,' Bonnie agreed. 'I have to go now. See you at school.'
'Take care,' Charles said.
Chloe's driver returned to the car, and she asked him to play back the recording. After playing the record she said, 'So Charles is one behind everything,' Chloe realized. 'What a small world!'
They drove off."
At lunch break, Chloe went to comfort Bonnie. "Hello.
"Yes, do I know you?"
"I know you don't know me, my name is..."
"Oh, you think I don't know you? Are you not the cheap girl Stephen sent to lie to me? You're just full of surprises, and without any shame!
"Umm, can you please at least know my name?
"I think you're dumb, you're just so cheap. Look at you, you disgusted me. Leave here now before I do something you won't like. Get out of my sight, rubbish, shameless thing. You think I don't know your type."
THE PLAN
Chloe walked away without saying anything.
Meanwhile, while having the conversation with Bonnie, she had recorded everything. When she went to meet Stephen, Stephen, Tyler, and Charles were waiting to hear the good news for her.
"How did it go?" They asked.
"Did she comply?" Stephen asked.
Chloe kept quiet and played the recording for them.
"That little slimy, disgusting girl really gets some nerves saying all this trash! She's just so naive. Let God not let thunder strike her right now!" Charles said.
"Hey, watch your mouth, buddy. You're talking about my girlfriend," Stephen said.
"Whatever, but she disgusted me."
"Hey, Charles, zip it," Tyler said.
"She's my life. I'm nobody without her."
Stephen burst into tears.
"Hey, hey, calm down, okay? If she doesn't want you anymore, it doesn't mean that you're alone. We're here for you, okay? You have a family that loves you so much, and you also have friends that love and cherish you, so please try to put yourself together, okay!" Chloe said.
"Hey, buddy, it's okay. We're here for you, okay? You just have to calm down and chill, okay? We got you covered, alright!" Tyler said.
"There are so many pretty girls out there searching for love, so just forget about Bonnie. She's not even pretty, she stinks," Charles said.
"Fuck you, Charles! What's wrong with you? Are you even helping in this, or what are you doing?" Tyler said.
"Hey, man, calm down. I'm just stating the fact."
"And what kind of fact is that, huh?
'Wait, Tyler, what's your problem? Or have you secretly liked Bonnie?
'What did you just say?"
Tyler moved closer to him.
'i just want you to repent what you just said'.
"Hey, hey, men, calm down. What's all this, huh? You guys should stop," Stephen said.
"Guys quarreling and fighting each other won't solve anything, okay? We just have to calm down and think to know the root of what is going on, not by quarreling or fighting. Charles, apologize to Tyler right now," Chloe said.
Charles kept quiet and observed Tyler for a few minutes. Then he said, "I'm sorry."
"That's very good. Now, back to business. We have to find out what or who is behind all this before it's too late. We have to act fast now that we still have the chance," Chloe said.
And they all agreed.
"We must find that bastard who wants to separate two lovers," Charles said.
"Thank you so much, my friends. I don't know what I would have done without you," Stephen said.
"We're friends after all," Charles said.
"You're my one best friend. Anything for you except for killing," Tyler said, laughing.
"You're just so unbelievably..." Stephen said.
Charles thought to himself to Stephen: "You can do whatever thing you choose, but you can never find out that it's me. I own you, Stephen. I will make sure you don't find peace and happiness."
Chloe thought to herself to Charles: "It's just a matter of time. You will soon be exposed. I'm waiting for your next move."
They left for their classes.
