Secrets Out

.18 ραят 2.

Saturday had finally arrived in Paris. School-age children walked into the well known hotel in Paris.

The daughter of the owner of the hotel stood in her room, staring at herself in the body length mirror while admiring her floor length yellow backless dress.

"Soon the whole world will know about you little secret Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-cheng" Chloe grinned as she walked out of her bedroom.

She stood atop the grand flight of stairs and watched all the guests below.

Her classmates filled the main room, with the exception of a few newscasters. Exquisite treats like tiramisus and sorbets lined the back table. Classical music was played in the background by a small orchestra in a corner.Tables were dotted around the centre of the room, most of them occupied at this stage. In the middle was the dancing area, where couples slow danced along to the melody of the music, among them were Adrien and Marinette.

Chloe frowned at this. She should be dancing with Adrien, not Maritrash.

"Time to ruin their lives" she grinned as she assended down the elegant staircase.

"This isn't right" a voice said in her mind.

She picked up a piece of glassware and a spoon from a table. She then walked over to where the orchestra was playing.

"They are getting what they deserve" she argued back.

She tapped the spoon against the glass, gathering the attention of all the guests.

"Thank you all for coming" Chloe said into the microphone.
"But I'm sure you are all wondering why you are here" she grinned and looked at Marinette. She then saw Nathanael behind her, shaking his head.

"We all know about the famous Ladybug and Chat Noir but who are they behind the masks?" Chloe looked over to Marinette again.
She looked like she was scared.
Chloe actually felt bad for her for a second.

"Don't you feel any remorse" the voice yelled at her.

"Well I just happened to know who they are" shocked gasps were heard from everyone in the room, with the exception of Adrien, Marinette and Nathanael.

"Ahhhhhhhhh" a certain blogger pushed her way through the crowd until she was right in front of Chloe.

"Spill!" Alya turned on her phone and immediately started to record.
"Who are the amazing Ladybug and Chat Noir?"

Even her friend is going to be disappointed when she finds out that Marinette is the amazing Ladybug

Phht, Marinette isn't amazing... she's just Ladybug... Ladybug, the hero of Paris... who risks her life everyday for the people of Paris...

"Hello, earth to Chloe" Alya waved her phone in phone in the blonde's face.

Chloe brought her attention back to the crowd.

Marinette; this is for taking my Adriekins
Adrien; this for choosing that brat over me.

"Well they are in this room right now"
Chloe glared at two holding hands when she said that.

Ladybug, your idol, saved your life and this is how you repay her? The voice nagged in her head.

As much as Chloe hated to say it, Ladybug had been her idol, ever since the Stoneheart attack and probably still is her idol.

She glanced at the crowd in front of her, all eager to find out who the masked superheros were, once again exception of Adrien, Nathanael and Marinette.

"I can't do this" she said to herself.
"I've taken this too far. Adrien would never be with me if I revealed one of his greatest secrets to the world, he wouldn't even talk to me"

"A-as i-if I would tell you guys though." Chloe lied.

"Are you serious" Alya snapped.
"You tell everyone that you know who Ladybug and Chat Noir are, tell us that they are right here and then don't tell us who they are"

"Uhhh" Chloe didn't know what to say.

"You're bluffing. You don't know who they are. You're just acting like you do so people will pay attention to you"

"Of course she doesn't know, no one does" Nino yelled.

The gathering started to diminish from sight as the guests made their way to the entrance.

"Liar" and "Lame" were some of the words heard from the crowd as they let through the doors.

"Ugh" Alya made a sound of disgust.
"This could be the big break for my blog" she groaned as she left the hotel.

She saw Marinette look at her with relief. She then smiled at Chloe. Chloe felt her lips

A few minutes had passed and many people had left. The few that remained lingered around the food table, stuffing their faces with fine desserts.

"Chloe" someone called from behind said girl.

She turned around and was greeted by Marinette and Adrien.

"Chloe" Marinette repeated.
"I just wanted to say...t-tha-ank you?" it ended up sounding like a question. Marinette never thought she would ever be thanking Chloe.

"Thank you for keeping our secret a secret. It really means a lot to us" Adrien wrapped his arms around Marinette's body.

"You-you're welcome" Chloe grinned at the perfect couple.

As much as Chloe would have loved to have Adrien wrap his arms around her like he did with Marinette, she knew that it could never happen. Adrien loves Marinette and Marinette loves Adrien. They are both happy with each other.

"If you love him, you would let him be happy with who he loves"

Chloe thought back to what Nathanael told her a while ago. She finally understood what Nathanael was talking about.
If Adrien was happy with Marinette them she... would be happy for him... even if it was Marinette.
