Chloe Richardson
"I'll be there in 5." Adam said into the phone.
"Okay, see you." I said and cut the call.
I picked up my brush and applied a little more highlighter on my cheekbones and finally sprayed some setting spray on my face. I fanned my hands near my face and once it was completely dried, I picked up my mobile and clicked some good selfies.
I was wearing a bling-y black minidress by Hermés along with a pair of white Jimmy Choo. I accessorised with some Cartier diamond earrings and rings. I had my hair tied up in a messy bun with few strands falling on my face.
I walked downstairs and heard the doorbell ring. Just in time. Dakota opened the door and I walked to the kitchen. I wanted a glass of water.
I was filling my glass when Adam slipped his arms around me from behind and pulled me to his chest. "You smell amazing, baby." He complimented as he nuzzled his nose in the crook of my neck.
"Thanks. It's my new Marc Jacobs limited edition scent." I said and turned around in his arms.
"What're you wearing?" Adam asked once he checked me out. The previous glad look in his eyes turned into dominance.
"Am I not looking nice?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"It's too revealing, baby. As much as I want to bend you over on the counter and have my way with you, we don't have time for it." He said and I hit my lip.
"Stay near me the whole evening, I don't want any of those horny creeps making eyes at you." He said and pulled me even closer.
"Okay." I said and tilted my head to kiss him.

"Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad." Adam greeted Mr. and Mrs. Stalin. They were one classy couple. Both insanely gorgeous and influential. Evan and Katherine Stalin are one powerful duo. Mafia Royalty, some might say.
"This is Chloe." Adam introduced me to them once he broke the hug with his dad.
"Hello, Mr. Stalin." I said and shook hands with Evan.
"Call me Evan. For the first time Adam has introduced us to a girl. You are definitely special to him." I chewed the inside of my lips and nodded slightly with a small smile.
"Hi Chloe." Katherine said as she opened her arms and I hugged her. They are so warm and welcome-y.
"Now if you guys excuse me, I've to go and congratulate Rose too." Adam said and I bid Evan and Katherine a small 'bye'.
We walked upto Rose. I've heard a lot about her from Adam but never have met her. She's tall and slender, with chestnut hair and blue eyes, strikingly similar to Evan's.
"And this must be Chloe." Rose asked, looking at me.
"Hi." I said and she did the same.
Evan introduced me to all of his close friends. Actually, they've been together ever since their birth. They're more like cousins. After the dinner, people started leaving soon and it was just us in the party hall now. We were seated on two tables. The first one was occupied by the adults. Katherine, Evan and their close friends.
On the second one were I, Adam, Adan, Rose. Then Sara Woodwords and Jason Woodwords. River Knight and Jasmine Knight. Leila Jordon and Ava Jordon.
I've never had any siblings or cousins growing up. It was always me, with my parents. I have no idea what it is like to have a sister/brother to have a heart-to-heart discussion with. Sitting here, with all of them, it feels like I'm living all of the moments I've missed in my life earlier.
"So Chloe, do you have a sister as beautiful as you?" Jason asked, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Umm... no." I replied.
"Cousin?" He asked again with hopeful eyes.
"Nope, sorry." I said.
"A hot aunt?" He asked and before I could react, we heard Sara choke on the ice-cream she was having.
"No, no, no. Sorry, sorry." Jason said and a laugh escaped my mouth. I lightly face-palmed myself and shook my head sideways.
I saw Ava, Rose, Jasmine and River having a hearty laugh too.
"You should come with a word limit." Adam commented and I once again laughed, this time a little subtlety.
"Sorry Chloe. Didn't mean to sound so desperate." Jason said as our previous laugher died down.
"It's okay." I assured him and kept a hand on his shoulder since he was sitting next to me.
