Chapter 23

Chloe returned home to find Philip working in the study.

"I swear you work too much."she stated as she walked over and gave him a kiss.

"Well I do it for you, Ryan, and the little baby you have in there."he said patting her belly.Chloe was just about to sugest going out,but the ringing of the phone beat her.

"Hello?"

"Philip,it's Belle.But don't say my name."

"Okay Shawn.What did you want to talk about?"he asked interested in why he couldn't say her name and what she was going to talk about.

"I was on my way out of the pub this morning when I saw Jan pacing in front."Belle explained."A few mintues later Chloe pulled up.I was too far away to hear everything they were saying,but I saw her hand her an envolpe.Jan took the envolpe and said something like ' I'll call you for another payment soon.'Chloe yelled something bak then took off."She took a deep breath before telling Philip the rest."The one thing that I'm sure I heard was Jan sing 'I love blackmail.'I don't know about you,but I think something's wrong."

"I do too."he said looking at Chloe.She was busy looking at the photos on the wall of them and Ryan.He had just had them placed in there so he could always look at her beautiful face.

"What do you think Jan has on Chloe?"Belle asked.

"I don't know,but it must be big.We she saw her the other night she fainted.At first I thought that it was because she was pregnet,but now I think it had something to do with Jan."he whispered trying to keep Chloe from hearing.Luckly she was too busy looking at the pictures to listen to what he was saying."We have to get to the bottom of this."

"We do.But we have to be careful."

"Why?"Philip said sensing that there was more.

"Nohting."Belle added quickly.She couldn't tell him that Jan had threatend Chloe and his child.If she did he would go hurt Jan and she in turn would hurt Chloe.

"Are you sure?"

"yes.Now how to figure out what Jan has on Chloe?"Philip was just about to suggest something when Chloe's cell rang.

"Hello?"He watched her facial expressions."Can you give me the address."She walked over to the desk and got a pen and paper.She wrote something down then ripped the paper off and stuffed in the pocket of her jeans."I'll be there with everything."

"Philip!"Belle shouted into the phone again."Are you there?"

"Hold on a second."he answered.

"I'll be helping Henderson with dinner."She said placing a kiss on his cheek and leaving.

"I think I have an idea of where she's going to meet Jan tomorrow."he said picking up the pad and moving it around until he could see the address."Meet me at the Hudson dinner at 12."

"Okay."Belle said writing down the time and place."Tomorrow we find out what's up with those two."

Chapter 24

Philip tried to keep himself busy at work,but it was no use.He wanted to know excatly what Jan had on Chloe and why she wasn't able to tell him.He checked the clock for the millionth time and saw that it was almost twelve.

"Linda I'll be out for an hour or so.Please have no one call me at my cell."

"I'm glad your wife's back.I like this side of you,sir."

"I do too."he said as he headed for the elvator.

"Oh and congrats on the coming child."she added.

"thanks."he said as the doors closed. ****************** Chloe walked in and insteadly spotted Jan.She walked over,completely missing Belle,and took a seat.A second later Philip walked in and took a seat next to Belle.They were close enough to hear,but not to be spotted.**********

"Here's your money."Chloe said tossing the envolpe to Jan.

"Thank you.Now let's talk about my next payment."Jan said tucking the envolpe away.

"I'm not giving you anymore money."Chloe said.Jan began to laugh.

"You will or our little secret will be reveled to Philip.Would you really like your husban to know about......"Chloe cut her off.

"No!Philip can never know.We can't talk here.We're close to the mansion,how "Fine."they gathered their things and left.

"Come Belle."Philip said dragging her out the door."Now more then ever I have to know what jan is blackmailing Chloe with." ******************Between using short cuts,speeding,and using the service enterance they beat Chloe and Jan inside.They quickly hid as Chloe opened the door.

"Is anyone home?"Jan asked as she plopped down on the sofa.

"Only the servants,but they have too much work to spy on us."

"Good.Like I said at the dinner I want more money."

"Never bitch.Wasn't 2 1/2 million enough?"Chloe asked.Philip nearly chocked.This must be some secret.

"Nope.It's not like you'll miss the money.You're the youngest Demire who married son of the billion Victor Kiriakis.You and Philip are worth at least a billion.Ryan's worth a few millions,even the unborn child you carry is worth millions."

"Don't you dare talk about my children.You do anything to them and I swear I'll kill you."Chloe growled

"I won't as long as you pay.".

"I'm not paying you another dime.I'm threw playing games,now we're doing business."

"Fine.You give me 10 million dollars and I'll disapear forever.Oh and I won't say a word about anything to Philip."

"No!Besides you only have one secret to tell anyways."

"That's what you think."Jan smirked."You may not know,but I know everything.Everything.I know about the neglection, the suicide attempts, the affair, the reason you came back, and the fact that you used Philip for sex when you did come back."Chloe stood shocked.Jan knew everything!
