Chapter 17 - Chloe Begs For Forgiveness Outside The Studio

Desperate, broke, and abandoned by everyone she knew, Chloe appeared at the gates of Lucia's studio on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. She stood outside the glass doors in a soaked raincoat, tearfully begging for an audience with the woman she had once shoved to the ground.
Lucia walked out with an umbrella, looking down at Chloe with a calm, unbothered expression that held no malice, only pity. "I forgive you, Chloe, but your choices have consequences, and you can never cross this threshold again," Lucia stated gently before walking inside.
