Chapter 6 Cloe Bought Again

• "Cloe was so good at the dance that this gentleman is giving me this", the woman's eyes sparkled with the rolls of money he had in his hand, it was several million, she had never had that amount of money together before.
• "No, she wasn't that good, I'm paying you what her father owes you, I'm taking the woman from here, if you have any objections, this will be the last time this Club will be open."
• The woman was surprised by Sebastian's words and the only thing she could think to say was "take that good-for-nothing, with this the debt is settled, Mr. Ward, now Peter de la O doesn't owe me anything" as her eyes sparkled at the generous amount of money.
• "I don't want a word about this to anyone, I don't want you to say that this woman worked here, if that happens, believe me Petra, I will take care of you, you don't know Cloe."
• A threat from Sebastian Ward was something to fear, even if it was Petra Orlich, her legs trembled just at the thought of it.
• Sebastian took the girl, put the mask on her, wrapped her in the robe, took her in his arms and took her out of that place through the back door, without anyone seeing them.
• He took Cloe to his car, drove to the mansion while looking back at the girl's face full of pain in the back seat.
• "Sir, who is she, what happened to her, why are you bringing her home," Mrs. Sanchez said.
• Sebastian looked at her in a bad way and replied, "you don't think you're getting involved in something that doesn't concern you, Mrs. Sanchez, she is a friend who had an accident, so do something for her to have dinner, something that works for the hangover, she will be in my room, I will work in the study, it's clear, starting tomorrow, take a few days off, I don't want to see you here."
• No matter how much Mrs. Sanchez tried to wake Cloe up, she didn't wake up, so she left her in bed just as Sebastian had left her, covered with a blanket.
• When Cloe woke up the next day, she felt a strong headache, she looked around in a completely unfamiliar place, scared, she got up looking at herself still in the vulgar dance clothes, feeling like a nobody.
• "knock knock, Miss Cloe, Mr. Ward asked me to leave this package for you, can you please open the door”,said a male voice from the other side of the door.
• "Hello Oscar".she said, only showing her face through the opening of the door, "Take a good shower, Mr. Ward is waiting for you in the study, hurry so you don't have any problems."
• "Thank you very much Oscar."
• What am I doing here, how did I get to this place, dressed like this, what a shame, I look like a prostitute she said as she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, what a shame, I have to thank Mr. Ward, Petra will kill me when she comes back.
• Cloe showered, put on the clothes that Sebastian sent her, they fit perfectly, light blue ripped jeans, a white t-shirt and white sneakers, the underwear, a bit more modest than what she was wearing, also white, thinking that this man had bought all that, she felt her cheeks turn red.
• What a shame, I have to pay this man back for this, now there are two debts, Petra's and this jerk's.
• As she descended, Cloe met the penetrating gaze of Mrs. Sanchez, she looked at her as if she were seeing a mangy dog on the street.
• "Good morning ma'am!"
• But the woman looked away and returned to the living room.
• "Miss Cloe, come this way, Mr. Ward is waiting for you."
• Upon entering the study, there were two men she already knew, Mario and Sebastian, and two other men she had never seen before.
• "Good morning!"
• "Good morning said the other men, Sebastian did not respond."
• "Miss de la O, here is the marriage contract, please sign it."
• "What? Marriage contract, what are you talking about."
• Sebastian said with his eyes full of anger at her refusal.
• "Get out", he told the men in the study.
• "Look Cloe, you belong to me now, I paid Petra a large sum of money for you, so there is no escape, you will be my wife and there is nothing more to discuss. Your father needs capital for his company, so he could do something if you are my wife. He risks everything in bets and I, well, I need a woman so that all the women in the country stop harassing me. You belong to me Cloe, make that clear."
• "But Mr. Ward, what is this, I am not an object, my life has always been like this", she said with a pained expression.
• "It's not my problem, you see, if I could buy you, if you had a price, money can do anything. So even if you see me as heartless, after this signature, you can stay by my side until I decide otherwise, thank your father for that, never forget it."
• "Enter!" Sebastian shouted from the study.
• With tears in her eyes, Cloe signed the documents, looking at Sebastian with bloodshot eyes, she was angry with him and her father for treating her like trash.
• "You can leave now, I need to make some calls", Sebastian said to the men accompanying him, "not you Cloe, we need to talk."
• "You are my wife, dress as such, behave like a modest woman, I don't want to see you flirting with other men, don't make me angry with you, I can be a nightmare."
• "Yes sir, don't worry, being here and at the Club, I think it will be the same, in the end, it's a prison for me."
• "Well, you can leave now, Oscar will take you to buy some clothes, don't even think about escaping, because I swear I will find you Cloe, I swear it, take this card, it's yours, it's unlimited, buy what you need, your university is already paid for, you don't have to worry about that, tomorrow we will start with English classes and some etiquette courses, you must be refined, now you are my wife."
• "Now go, I have things to do. Oh Cloe, don't even think about saying where you worked before, that would be embarrassing for me, let alone going to that place, no one knows you there."
• "Yes sir, with your permission," she said, leaving the study, went up to the room and cried bitterly for hours, feeling as if her father had sold her again as if she were doing business with an animal.
• "Mrs. Ward, I'm waiting for you, we have to go to the mall, the boss gave an order, let's go, please don't get me in trouble."
• "Hello again Oscar, okay, you've been good to me, I won't get you in trouble, your boss is trash and I don't know what he's capable of doing to you; wait for me downstairs, I'll wash my face and come down."
