Chapter 9 - The Fall Of The Mistress

“Julian... what is he talking about?” Chloe stammered, her voice shaking as she backed away toward her designer luggage.

“Tell me your cards are still working! You told me you owned five private estates!”

Julian fumbled frantically through his leather wallet, pulling out four different platinum and black credit cards, sliding them through the portable reader.

Every single card produced a sharp, red error light accompanied by a loud, electronic beep: CARD REVOKED BY ISSUER.

“I... I don't understand,” Julian whimpered, his hands shaking so violently he dropped his wallet onto the wet tiles.

“Chloe, give me your card! We just need to pay the hotel bill so we can get to the airport!”

Chloe grabbed her leather tote bag, slinging it over her shoulder as she looked down at Julian with absolute disgust and contempt.

“Are you out of your mind?!” Chloe spat out, her eyes cold as ice. “I’m not spending my money on your mess! You lied to me!”
