Chloe Knight is a caregiver to younger brother and sister after her parents are murdered. Not long after the parents death Chloe's younger sister become seriously ill and is diagnosed with leukaemia. In a desperate attempt to get a job she meets Jai...
I am sitting in the back of the limo with a very stubborn guy. I told him on many occasions that he needed to forgive his sister and that she was doing everything she could to pay the medical bills.
She knew it wasn't going to be easy to pay off. That's why she accepted my help and signed The Proposal. She wanted to make things easier for her siblings and herself.
What wasn't on the proposal was us falling for each other. At first it was about helping a girl out that needed a break, but as soon as I met her siblings, things started to change and I wanted to be there for her more.
I wormed my way into their life and I was lucky that they accepted me. Well, except for Nate. He didn't welcome me with open arms at first.
He gave me a chance and for that I want to return the favour and let him forgive his sister.
The limo comes to a stop at the cemetery and we step out of the car.
I place my hand on Nate's shoulder. "When your sister gets here you need to start talking to her. She's done nothing wrong. Chloe did what she had to, to keep herself from drowning in debt. If I didn't help her out, she would be in debt, with no way of getting out of it. She knew she needed help and that's why she signed the proposal. That document was supposed to be private, but someone broke into my personal safe and stole it. They had a copy of it for a year and when things took a turn and your sister died the person thought that the proposal would be void and they could have there turn with me. Everything between Chloe and I is real. I didn't propose to her in Paris for a publicity stunt. I did it because she's the woman that I truly want to be with."
Nate bows his head and I see a single tear fall down his face. He quickly wipes it away. "I will apologise when I see her." He looks at the parking area. "Where is she?"
The last time I saw her she was following behind us.
My parents and siblings walk towards us. "Mom, have you seen, Chloe?" She shakes her head.
I pull my phone out of my pocket and I call her. It goes straight to voice message.
Where the hell is she?
My family, Nate and I walk over to he where Aleysa will be buried with her parents.
The grass has been dug up and it's waiting for the third Knight family member to be placed in the hole.
Nate puts a rose on the headstone and he whispers. "I miss you all. I'm sorry for being a disappointment to you." He places his hand on the headstone. "Please, tell me that my sister is safe."
We stay at the cemetery for 40 minutes before we go to my place for the wake.

Chloe never showed at the cemetery and that's unlike her. When she says she will be somewhere she's there, but for her not to show up to something like this has me worried.
