Chloe's P. O. V
"Girl! You need to hurry up or both of us going to be late," Laura yelled from the car. I checked my purse one more time before locking the door and ran towards her.
"I am really sorry, you know how tough it is to settle down after moving to a new apartment," I apologized to her while getting in the passenger seat.
"I don't know, what was the reason you leave your old apartment in haste? That was your apartment you could easily kick that bastard Dave out of it and live there happily without the hassle of moving to a new place," Laura dramatically said while driving her car.
"You have no idea how stubborn Dave is. He would come there every day to take him back but I have learned my lessons already. Moreover, I can't sleep on the same bed he had s*x with Jane. That apartment was like a torture cell for me. I am relieved that I moved out from there," I replied to her.
"I also posted a sale post for the apartment already. I won't leave any memory of them in my life," I murmured the last part in hatred.
"Don't spoil your mood for those nasty creatures. Concentrate on your audition, you must do well," she tried to cheer me up.
'Yes, I have my audition ahead; I can't let my past interrupt my future,' I thought.
"I have confidence in your talent; your natural beauty will surpass other participants that I can bet. So don't take much pressure. Just be you. Good luck," Laura said while dropping me in front of the studio. She has worked in the other studio so she can't go inside with me.
"Thanks, dear, for your support," I thanked her before entering the studio.
At the audition...…..
"Look who we have here," Came a piercing voice as soon as I entered the makeup room. When I followed the voice, I saw Jane sitting on the chair with some hair rollers on her hair. I ignored her and tried to walk past her but she continued.
"I thought you left modeling and after the way Dave dumped you, it was obvious that you must have left the city," Jane taunted me in a room full of participants. I know a few models here but most of them are new faces.
"And what was the reason for Dave leaving me? Oh, I remember, one of my so-called best friends seduced my fiance and got pregnant behind me," I replied to her in a mocking voice.
"Are they best friends? Has she become the mistress of her best friend's fiance? Isn't she the top model from the Johnson agency?"
"Isn't she Chloe Tyler the famous model? What is she doing here? Didn't she leave modeling a year ago?"
"Are they also taking part in this audition?"
I heard small murmuring around the room. I ignored all of their comments and walked to an empty chair and started redoing my makeup and hair.
"How dare you insult me in front of these girls? Dave dumped you because he got bored with you and he loves me," Jane yelled hysterically. I chose to ignore her and concentrate on my look. I need this advertisement to boost start my career again.
"Are you trying to ignore me you wrench?" Jane grabbed my hand like a crazy woman.
I freed my hand from her grip and stood up from my chair. Before she could speak more slapped her.
"Don't you ever touch me," I warned her and tried to go back to my chair but a nestling sound and then a loud thud from my back forced me to look behind.
Jane was on the floor grabbing her stomach and soon she started crying in a loud voice.
"Help! Someone, please help my baby. My stomach is hurting," Jane kept crying out loud for help. Was she serious or just acting? I got confused and didn't know what to do. Some of the girls in the room came to help Jane but she didn't get up from there and continued her crying.
"How could you slap her so hard that she fell on the floor?"
"Didn't you just say she's pregnant? How could you harm an unborn baby?"
The girls present in the room started blaming me but I didn't push her or slapped her so hard. I was going to explain but before I could speak I heard Dave's voice from the door.
"What's going on here?" he inquired.
"Chloe slapped Jane despite knowing that she was pregnant and Jane fell on the ground. Now she's having pain on her stomach," someone explained to Dave as if I did it on purpose. And that person was Dahlia, Jane's personal hair dresser.
Dave's eyes fell on Jane who was still crying on the floor and then his eyes moved to me. Soon his face turned hard with anger. He moved swiftly towards us and knelt beside Jane.
"What happened? Are you okay?" he asked her. Jane started crying louder as soon as she saw Dave.
"Dave, she hurt our baby. She blamed me and our baby because you didn't marry her. She wants to kill our unborn baby," Jane complained to him pointing her finger at me.
"How dare you?" Dave shouted at me, making me jump in shock.
"I didn't do anything. She's lying," I responded after calming myself.
"I can see who is lying here. She's still on the floor and you aren't even trying to aid her from her pain," Dave accused me. Making me hate him even more.
"I don't care what you can see or not but I didn't do it that I can say. And how dare you blame me? When you are the one who cheated on me with her? Why would I help her who back stabbed me?" I replied back to him. I will not be a helpless girl for him anymore. I won't let him dominate me anymore. Now I am free and I have my husband backing for me.
Can I trust a stranger to help me and trust me when my ex fiance didn't believe me?
