Chapter 8 Sofia And Cloe

• "At the club, they told me they don't know you, everyone there is crazy, they said you've never worked there."
• "Oh Esteban, do you have a moment to have a coffee?"
• "Oh, Oscar, could you wait a moment, Esteban is a friend from university, I want to have a coffee with him."
• "Madam, I'm not sure if it's a good idea, think it over."
• "It's okay, I'll deal with the consequences with your boss."
• Esteban couldn't believe what was happening.
• "So you got married, Cloe, what are you talking about? What about us, what will happen to us? I thought we had something."
• "You're hearing that Petra sold me to a jerk like Sebastian Ward, I have nothing else to do, this guy is not one to play around, he's a complete coward, he talks to me as if I were a child, as if he were my father."
• As Cloe checked her phone, she saw the name "Sebas" on her screen.
• "You're a married woman, don't forget that, you can't go around kissing guys on the street, stop holding that guy's hand and smiling like a fool, go back home if you don't want your little friend to suffer the consequences of your actions, you left Orchid Club, but it seems he hasn't left you, respect yourself and respect me Cloe, I'll wait for you at home."
• After reading the message, she immediately said goodbye to Esteban with a kiss on the cheek, "I have to go, I completely forgot about a commitment, take care, bye, I love you."
• "What's up Cloe, okay; Bye Cloe, kisses."
• She practically ran to the parking lot where Oscar was waiting in the car.
• "Oscar, why did you tell Sebastian that I was with Esteban, he's just a friend, we weren't doing anything wrong, I assure you."
• "Madam, I didn't say anything, how could you think that."
• "I don't need anyone to tell me where my wife is and who she's with, said a voice behind Cloe, you can't be hugging and kissing men or inviting them for coffee, do you really want to continue in that life of a prostitute Cloe, do you really want to continue like this?"
• "I'm not a prostitute, I never have been, Esteban is my only friend, he's my university classmate, there's nothing between us."
• "Well Cloe, now you know, you're mine, I bought you at a price that after all was quite high, I don't think you're worth as much as your father made it seem."
• "Come, you'll come with me, Oscar, you and I have to talk later", said Sebastian looking at Oscar.
• "Yes sir, I'll follow you."
• In the car, there was complete silence, Sebastian was driving at a high speed, Cloe was starting to feel a little scared, the man had a penetrating look ahead.
• "Who is he?"
• "Who is what?"
• "The man you were with at the cafe, the one who kissed you."
• "I've already told you, he's my only friend, his name is Esteban, I don't have any female friends because I'm the illegitimate daughter of the O family, that's why families forbid their daughters from talking to me, Esteban is my friend, the one who hasn't cared that I lived in a nightclub, that I'm an illegitimate daughter, or that I'm married to someone like you now."
• "You don't live in the club anymore, get that out of your head please, "someone like me"? What does that mean?"
• "It doesn't matter now, you've told me I belong to you, so whatever I say will be irrelevant, right."
• For some reason, those words didn't sit well with Sebastian, who didn't even look at her, he just remained silent, accelerated, and drove to the house.
• "Get dressed, we'll be late for dinner."
• "Yes, whatever you say. He didn't even tell me how beautiful I look, after I spent so much of his money to look different, I don't understand why this man wanted to marry me, if he doesn't even like me; not that I care what he thinks, but at least for the sake of peace it would be a good start."
• Cloe bought a long emerald green dress, with bare shoulders, some high-heeled sandals in a sandy tone, her hair was styled to one side in waves, with a honey tone that made her brown eyes stand out, she wore a diamond necklace that made her look like a society lady, small diamond earrings that matched the delicate bracelet on her left hand, her natural makeup made her look spectacular, somewhat sexy but modest, anyone would be drawn to this woman.
• As she descended the stairs, Mrs. Sanchez was surprised to see her, she looked so different, so beautiful that with a disdainful look she turned her back and went to the kitchen.
• "Mrs. Ward, you look beautiful, come on, you'll be late."
• "And Sebastian, where is he?"
• "He left ahead, he had to stop by somewhere."
• Upon arriving at the venue, it could be seen that the famous dinner had the best of the local society, as Cloe entered the place, she was seen by all the women, including her sister Sofia, who, arm in arm with Sebastian, looked at her as if she were her enemy, resisting all the envy she felt towards her. Cloe was superior to Sofia in everything, beauty, intelligence, manners, education, she excelled in every aspect and Sofia couldn't stand it. Now that she had set her sights on winning Sebastian over, she wouldn't allow him to be interested in Cloe in the slightest.
• All the men in the place, absolutely all of them, looked at the beautiful young woman with great interest.
• When Cloe looked at Sofia arm in arm with Sebastian, she was puzzled.
• "You know, she's my half-sister, it seems she went to live with a guy who pays for everything, she has a past that I'm ashamed to talk about, I hope it never comes to light, I would die of embarrassment with you, Sebastian."
• "Don't tell me, I didn't know you had a half-sister, but you know something, she's nothing like you."
• "Oh, thank you, coming from you, it's a huge compliment."
• "They say she was with different men in the town where she lived, my father brought her to the city when her mother died, I really have no idea where she's been all this time, but it seems her luck has changed now, according to some friends I saw at the salon today, she's with an older man, they say he's her lover and he pays for everything she wears, I wouldn't be surprised, it wouldn't be the first time," Sofia said, eager to hurt her sister, inventing that whole story out of envy at how beautiful Cloe looked.
• "She lost her virginity when she was still a child, she got involved with an older man who bought her some jewelry, excuse me, Sebastian, but I have to tell you, Cloe is the shame of the O family, my father regrets every day having a daughter out of wedlock and I, of course, am ashamed of her."
• "Excuse me, I'll talk to Cloe," Sofia said, letting go of Sebastian's arm.
• "What are you doing here, you're embarrassing me, you don't belong here, look at yourself, you look ridiculous, why don't you leave once and for all, I'm accompanying Sebastian Ward, he will surely be my husband, I wouldn't want him to know where you come from, where's the old man who paid for your clothes, you're probably selling yourself for money; Cloe, aren't you ashamed."
