Barely 30 and she's been in five different relationships and one failed marriage, Chloe decided to pack the last item she needed to embark on a journey into the unknown.
Having decided few months ago to change scenery and know what fate awaits her on the other side, she double-checked her items necessary for survival and making sure she has enough cash to go at hand not forgetting she also has $100,000 sitting calmly underneath her bed which happened to be the savings she was able to realize from her last entanglement she wasn't really sure could be tagged "Marriage".
Life with Kraven wasn't really the happily ever after kind of a deal or was it the beds of roses she imagined it to be, considering the fact that during their courting days, he exhibited a certain level of gentlemanliness that was probably the prayer request of any intending lady ready to settle down.
Hazel nuts eyes, perfectly cut nose, streamlined jaw and a killer smile to compliment his masculinity, with a staggering 6"3 height that would make you feel safe, secure and protected.
Displayed a maximum level of caring and intentional attitude, very thoughtful and creative when it comes to using words and also knowing the right words to use and when or how to use it.
Kraken, oh how I miss them fancy gifts he showers on me after having his fun with me, still a miracle on how I came out alive and living.
Though tried escaping twice and was boxed up and taken back to his mansion, truly a man with power, of which no one will wish to be on his bad book.
"You will always be my wife, till I say I'm tired of you, wherever you think you can go, have it in mind I'll find you and bring you back till I'm bored and tired of you" still remembered his deep baritone voice echoing as I replay his exact words in my head, well let's see how you plan on bringing me back to you I said within me and smiled awkwardly knowing the plot I created into making a believable story that would sell.
To him, she was just another prized item to display to his friends and business associates whenever the urge to do so comes, he doesn't respond to her sexual demands and when he does, he does so with a heightened level of brutality and tourture, making no much difference between me and a cheap road side whore
The slaps, stabs, blows, punches, kicks I've had to endure for the past 6 months shows my resilient spirit, but looks like the veil that was covering my eyes thinking I could get him to change from the monster he is gradually becoming, but I guess that would be just a wishful thought.
Looking at her passport, seeing the new name written on it "KIMBERLY FOSTER" she has concluded within herself that she'll start all over again and don't intend making the same mistake she made, although she really has made a lot of mistakes that if awards were to be given for mistakes been made, she would definitely be getting them a lot, and might even create a collection for them, like the one time she made a mistake of falling in love with Dylan even when she was told that Dylan wasn't the commitment type of guy and she'll regret taking the "Bold" step.
Believing every man can change if he meets the right woman of his dreams, well the facade only went for about 3 months, guess she wasn't the right woman of his dreams, is she really a woman of any man's dreams?well time will surely tell.
She decided to travel moderate and not create awareness, because it is believed that Chloe McClarens, who happens to be the wife of Kraken McClaren was dead, and indeed that part of her life is gone and simply gone for good, guess we'll have to discover who truly is Kimberly Foster.
Feeling excited and enthusiastic about what fate has in store for her, she decided to find her abode in Ireland and possibly carve her name on a stone as a monument, but time will tell.
Having made her research, ahe decided to settle in the most rural area in Ireland, no suitable place than Tullamore, having a total estimated inhabitants of 15,738 individuals, and mostly living their lives offline which makes it a very perfect camouflage for her change, growth and expansion.
She decided to hear her mom's voice one last time, everything she has learnt and proud of was as a result of her mother's love and commitment into seeing her becoming something meaningful.
"Hello, good evening please who am I speaking with?" She would really miss this calm, soothing and affectionate voice, hoping that things could have been better if only her mother didn't talk her into marrying Kraken, well truth be told even if her mom haven't really pushed the idea of marriage to her, she would still have considered it as an option as a way of paying him back for having saved them from going bankrupt.
"Hello, can you hear me, please speak up, let us know how we can be of assistance to you", her mother's voice brought her back into reality and she responded "Mom, it's me" imagining her mother's reaction to hearing her only daughter voice who was believed to be involved in a fatal car accident, she pinched herself to toggle her memory back into reality.
"Chloe, where are you?, are you truly Chloe or it's my brain torturing me with the memories of my daughter?, please who is this and how did you get hold of my number?"
"Mom it is really I, your daughter, please mom whatever you do, never tell anyone, I mean anyone that I'm alive, just can no longer stand the treatment I seem to be recieving from Kraken any longer, so I've made up my mind to start a new legacy for myself, since authorities could not annul our marriage, I guess it's till death do us part, and death was the only choice I had mom"
"I'm sorry for ever suggesting you gave the young man a trial, it's my fault now that you're turning into a fugitive to escape from a toxic marriage, I'm deeply sorry my pumpkin, please forgive me"
Tear drops clustered in her eyes but she really needed to hit the road, glancing at the clock over the shelf, it's few minutes past 2am "Mom I really need to go, I'll call you whenever I'm settled, so please stay safe for me would you? And also don't forget to play your part of a mother who lost her child because to the world I'm dead and if you can't play the role well, suspicion might arise and trust me the turn out won't be to my favor, so I forgive you already, and I believe it's no fault of yours, we all make mistakes because we are rational beings, so don't get yourself worked up over nothing"
"Take care of yourself mom, I LOVE YOU".
