*Mother:* Carla Hill
*Father:* Frank Parisi
*Half-brother:* James Cooke

Chloe Hill is the deuteragonist of *The Wayfarer* and the 50th iteration of Chloe. She appears as a black-haired, Caucasian female with a snarky, dry personality, with an ulterior wise and experienced side, despite this, she easily loses her cool and has a bad temper. Like many other iterations of Chloe, she suffers from Schizophrenia along with harbouring JT, she does however, enjoy normal 21st Century life and tries her best to fit into society. Chloe Hill was born in Liberty City, a city much like New York. After being born in 1985, she was raised by her single father in Alderney. After his suicide, she ends up living with her neighbours, whom were fosters. The Wayfarer takes place in Los Santos, way into Chloe's adulthood from where she moved to at the age of 19.

The specific nature of her reincarnation is different, with Chloe only resuming full consciousness and control at 23, experienced as a psychotic break for her peers. She retained full knowledge of the host's life on autopilot but struggles in remembering specifics about her last couple of iterations, explained as feeling like a "fog".

### **-** Powers & Abilities **-**

#### **Symbiotic Transcendental Immortality**

Symbiotic Transcendental Immortality is the specific type of immortality granted to Chloe via her symbiotic relationship with JT. This is similar to *dimensioskimming* or quantum immortality, but JT is the key factor and it is not an inborn ability of Chloe's. This allows Chloe to pass her conscious soul and mind to another body of hers after death, with the new body being in a parallel universe or reality.

#### **Maccavitianism**

Chloe has displayed sensitivity to maccavitianism, a form of extrasensory perception utilized by *Maccaviti* agents. Maccavitianism includes heightened senses and perception, and foresight of future events. See *maccavitianism* for more.

> ##### **'Flying'**
>
>
> Flying is a demonstrated, high-skill manoeuvre within Maccavitianism that requires meditation to achieve an out-of-body experience. This grants the mind's eye a view of the world past physical boundaries.

## Timeline

**Origins, 1985-2003**

> Chloe's childhood was marked by the absence of her mother, Carla, who had passed away when she was just six months old. Despite the loss of his beloved wife, Chloe's father, Frank Parisi, made the brave decision to raise his daughter on his own. However, the harsh reality of his job as a labourer, which often involved working with illicit organizations, made it difficult for him to provide the love and care that Chloe deserved.
>
>
> Chloe found frequent refuge with her compassionate neighbours who happened to be foster-parents of near to a dozen. Their kindness and selflessness were instrumental in helping Chloe cope with her strange circumstances. They stepped in as surrogate parents during Frank's long absences, providing her with care and guidance that she needed during her formative years.
>
>
> Frank Parisi was a grieving widower who struggled with his inner demons for a prolonged period. The painful memories of his beloved wife, Carla, and his deep-seated regrets weighed heavily on his mind. Despite his best efforts, Frank found it challenging to come to terms with his loss and to find a sense of closure.
>
>
> Throughout her early years, Frank knew that his daughter, Chloe, was his source of strength and motivation. He cherished every moment that he spent with her, knowing that she was the light that illuminated his otherwise dark world. However, Frank also recognized that he could not provide the care and support that Chloe deserved due to his emotional struggles and demanding work.
>
>
> In his final moments, Frank made the agonizing decision to end his own life in the summer of 1994. Chloe, who was at school when her father passed, was devastated when she learned of the news the following day. Chloe did not fully understand the concept of loss and the impact it would have on her life. As she grew older and began to comprehend the gravity of the situation, she struggled and yet slowly made sense of her father's erratic behaviour and his constant comings and goings.
>
>
> Chloe's emotional response to the loss of her father was complicated and filled with ambiguity. Despite her deep love for him, she found it difficult to express her grief in the traditional sense. Chloe struggled to understand the complexity of her emotions, and the lack of tears left her feeling confused and alone in her pain.
>
>
> Though he held the title of "father," he was not often around to fulfil that duty and the responsibilities that came with it. This left Chloe feeling a sense of detachment and confusion towards the man who was supposed to be her primary caregiver and role model.
>
>
> Jamie, Chloe's half-brother, lived a vastly different life than his younger sibling. Jamie and his mother resided in the South of England, far away from the circumstances that Chloe faced growing up.
>
>
> Despite being biologically related, Jamie and Chloe lived entirely separate lives, with Jamie completely unaware of his half-sister's existence. This was due to Jamie's mother keeping her affair with Frank a secret, leaving Jamie without knowledge of his familial ties to Chloe.
>
>
> At the tender age of eight, Chloe found herself orphaned and alone in the world. However, despite her tragic circumstances, Chloe was not without love and support. She was fortunate enough to be rehomed with her caring neighbours, who had taken her in before, when her father was unable to care for her properly.
>
>
> Living with her neighbours meant that Chloe was surrounded by familiar faces, including the children who had previously been only passer-by's in her life. Although they came from different backgrounds and had different experiences, the majority of the children within the foster home shared a like-mindedness that Chloe found comforting.
>
>
> One child in particular, Alyssa, who was only a year older than Chloe, had a unique understanding of Chloe's situation. Alyssa herself had experienced the loss of her parents and the feeling of being an orphan, and as a result, the two quickly became close friends. Their friendship blossomed as they spent countless hours together, sharing stories and laughter, and supporting each other through the ups and downs of life.
>
>
> They even found good fortune in being able to attend the same local school and could continue to hang out during classes and extracurricular activities. They were like two peas in a pod, always finding ways to make each other laugh and cheering each other on in all their adventures.
>
>
> Whether it was studying for exams or trying out new sports, Chloe and Alyssa were always there for each other. Their friendship was the kind that made even the toughest challenges feel a little less daunting, and the happiest moments feel even sweeter.
>
>
> Chloe's transition to high school was not an easy one. The unfamiliar environment, new faces, and increased workload made for a rocky start. However, Chloe's intellectual abilities proved to be her strong suit, and she excelled academically with ease.
>
>
> She was a reserved and introverted individual who preferred to spend time with her step-sister, Alyssa. The two of them had become inseparable, and their bond only grew stronger as they journeyed through high school together. However, Chloe's dedication to her studies paid off as she continued to excel academically. Her teachers recognized her hard work and respected her for it. However, Chloe's social life remained stagnant, and she had little interest in branching out to make new friends.
>
>
> Nonetheless, Chloe and Alyssa's friendship remained unwavering, and they continued to hang out together outside of school. They would often explore the city, attend local events, and try new restaurants, creating new memories together.
>
>
> As Chloe progressed through high school, she discovered a passion for the sciences. Her interest in space and astrophysics began to take hold, and she immersed herself in learning all that she could about the cosmos. She spent hours reading books, watching documentaries and recorded lectures on the subject.
>
>
> Chloe's curiosity about the mysteries of the universe was boundless, and she dreamed of one day making her own discoveries and contributing to the field of astrophysics, and she excelled in her science classes, earning near-top grades and accolades from her teachers.
>
>
> After graduating high school with flying colours, Chloe pursued her dream of becoming an astrophysicist by enrolling in college. Despite the challenges that came with being a foster child and facing financial difficulties, Chloe remained determined to succeed. However, her newfound independence led her to associate with the wrong crowd, who introduced her to drugs and other vices.
>
>
> Chloe's naivety and innocence made her an easy target for these individuals, and she soon found herself in trouble with the law. She was caught by campus authorities while attempting to experiment with drugs she had never tried before and was subsequently arrested and detained for several nights.
>
>
> The consequences of her actions were severe, and Chloe's dreams of graduating with her astrophysics and a potential nuclear physics degree were shattered. Her college membership was revoked, and she was left with a substantial debt that she had to pay off. Despite this setback, Chloe refused to let her mistakes define her future and remained determined to do something about the hole left in her life.
>
>
> As Chloe's life took a turn for the worse, she found solace in her foster parents, who continued to offer unwavering support. However, the dynamic within the foster home changed as the other children began to leave, pursuing their own paths in life. To make matters worse, her best friend and step-sister, Alyssa, had moved across the country to the bustling city of Los Santos, leaving Chloe feeling alone and lost.
>
>
>
> She knew that the only way to reignite the spark in her life was to pursue Alyssa and try to start anew in the city that never sleeps. Although her foster parents were hesitant to see her go, they understood her need for a fresh start and provided her with the support she needed to make the move.

**Los Santos, San Andreas. 2004-2007**

> Chloe embarks on a quest to locate her sister within the bustling metropolis of the City of Saints. With only a modest suitcase of clothing and a debit card with meagre funds, she navigates the labyrinthian streets of the city, Chloe is struck by the realization that she has no means of communicating with her. [1st July 2004]
>
>
> Undeterred, she relies on her wits and resourcefulness to track Alyssa down, employing basic investigative techniques and scouring phone books for any trace of her sibling's whereabouts. After a long and arduous search, Chloe's persistence pays off, as she finally reunites with Alyssa in a tearful and emotional embrace. [3rd July 2004]
>
>
> Overwhelmed with relief and joy, the two cling to each other, grateful to be together once again. Alyssa welcomes Chloe into her small Vespucci apartment, providing her with a comfortable place to stay as she recovers from her journey, helping her to get back on her feet and rebuild her life in the city.
>
>
> As they spend time together, the sisters reflect on their shared experiences and the challenges they have faced, emerging with a renewed appreciation for their bond and a deeper understanding of the importance of what they can consider family. [July 2004]
>
>
> As Chloe settles into her new life in Los Santos, she is eager to learn more about the events that led to her sister's disappearance. During a heart-to-heart conversation, Alyssa reveals that she had made a life-changing decision based on love. She had met someone online and, after getting to know him, had made the bold move to travel cross-country to meet him in person.
>
>
> Although her decision had been risky and fraught with uncertainty, Alyssa felt that it was worth it, as she had been swept off her feet by her online love interest. Despite initial hesitations, she had followed her heart and taken a leap of faith, embarking on a journey that would forever alter the course of her life.
>
>
> As Chloe listens to her sister's story, she is moved by Alyssa's bravery and sense of adventure. She realizes that her sister's decision was not made lightly, but rather out of a deep desire for connection and companionship.
>
>
> As Chloe settles into her new life in Los Santos, she finds herself forming deep and meaningful connections with the people she meets, both through her sister and independently. One such person is Angel Smith Rodriguez, with whom Chloe forges a strong and enduring friendship that quickly becomes one of the most important relationships in her life.
>
>
> Together, Chloe, Cortel Williams, Markus Nicholaysen, *other Chloe,* Angel, Alyssa and others spend their nights exploring the vibrant nightlife scene of Los Santos, immersing themselves in the pulsating energy of the city's clubs and bars. They try new drugs and drinks, pushing the boundaries of their experiences and forging bonds that are unbreakable. [25th July 2004]
>
>
> Despite the temptations and thrills of the party scene, Chloe eventually finds her calling as a bartender, honing her skills and working in a variety of venues throughout the city. She develops a reputation not as a skilled, but a reliable bartender, earning the reputation from her colleagues and customers alike. [September 2004]
>
>
> As she settles into her new career, Chloe continues to build relationships with the people around her, forming a close-knit community of friends and allies who support her in all of her endeavours. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of life in Los Santos, sharing their joys and sorrows and forging a sense of belonging that is truly special. [October 2004]
>
>
> The City of Los Santos was experiencing a cultural explosion, with a proliferation of strip clubs, gentleman's clubs, and quasi-cathouses springing up one after another. For those who owned and operated these establishments, they represented a lucrative source of income. For the women who worked there, they provided a means of making a living, albeit one that came with its own set of risks and challenges.
>
>
> Chloe needed means to pay for the remaining college debt, and her new apartment, for which Alyssa had put in a recommendation for a local landlord. An apartment much like Alyssa's, in and rather round the same area, in Vespucci. As Chloe continued to work as a bartender, she found herself drawn to the world of exotic dancing.
>
>
> She was fascinated by the women who performed on stage, their confidence and sexuality an irresistible allure. With the help of a fellow bartender, Chloe was able to secure a job recommendation at a strip club that was known to hire inexperienced and new exotic dancers.
>
>
> Despite initial trepidations, Chloe found that she was a natural on stage, her body moving with a sensuality that captivated the audience. She quickly gained a reputation as one of the hottest dancers in the club, earning the admiration of her fellow dancers and the adoration of her fans. [November 2004]
>
>
> Although the work was demanding and physically gruelling, Chloe found that she loved the thrill of performing and the financial rewards that came with it. She worked hard, honing her craft and perfecting her routines, always pushing herself to be the best that she could be.
>
>
> As she continued to dance and bartend, Chloe found that she was able to build a life for herself in Los Santos, one that was filled with excitement, adventure, and a sense of purpose.
>
>
> Though, as Chloe continued to work as a dancer and bartender in Los Santos, she found that her newfound financial independence came with its own set of challenges. With money to spare, she began to indulge in alcohol and drugs, including heroin that she administered intravenously.
>
>
> While Chloe was not an extreme addict to any standard, her experimentation with heroin was a cause for concern. The drug was new and intriguing to her, and she found herself drawn to the intense sensations it provided. Despite her best intentions, she found that she was unable to resist the allure of the drug, using it more frequently as time went on. [December 2004]
>
>
> As her drug use increased, Chloe's behaviour became more erratic and unpredictable. She struggled to maintain her relationships and her work suffered as a result. She kept it from her friends, but her colleagues, aware, became increasingly worried about her, urging her to seek help and get clean before it was too late.
>
>
> Despite the warnings of those around her, Chloe found it difficult to give up the drug that had come to dominate her life. She continued to use, ignoring the consequences of her actions and the toll they were taking on her physical and mental health.
>
>
> As Chloe struggled with addiction and the challenges of life in Los Santos, she found herself haunted by an unseen presence. Though she had never met her brother Jamie, she claimed to have already met him, experiencing what could be described as an early, precursive hallucination that would eventually lead to a diagnosis of mental illness.
>
>
> For one thing, Jamie was British, and Chloe had never grown up with a brother at all. It was strange that she would suddenly start experiencing visions of a man she didn't know that existed after moving to Los Santos, and even stranger that he would seemingly appear out of nowhere, having moved over from Liberty City just like she did.
>
>
> But perhaps even more unsettling were the rumours that Chloe heard about Jamie's friend John Porter. According to some, Porter was a combat-trained veteran with a troubled past, and she had met him. He was kind, and had been in the same room as Jamie. Chloe had spent a lot of her hours second-guessing her reality and had no clue what to make of all this, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something strange and mysterious lurking beneath the surface of her experiences with the two.
>
>
> As Chloe continued to work at the strip club, she became a regular attraction for many of the patrons, including a young man named Adam Black. Adam was a local who was close to Chloe's age, and he had taken notice of her from the very first time he saw her on stage. Over time, he had become a frequent club-goer, often visiting just to catch a glimpse of Chloe. [January 2005]
>
>
> One night, as Chloe performed on stage, Adam approached her and introduced himself. Despite the subtle ill-look to her being and her sluggish movements, Adam was undeterred in his interest in her. He saw something in her that he couldn't quite put into words, a spark of something that made him want to get to know her better.
>
>
> Chloe and Adam's relationship began slowly, with Adam making small talk whenever he visited the strip club where Chloe worked. He was always kind to her, even when she was tired or didn't feel like talking. Over time, they began to talk more and more, and Chloe found herself opening up to Adam in a way that she hadn't with anyone else.
>
>
> Despite her struggles with addiction, Adam never judged Chloe or made her feel ashamed. He simply listened when she needed someone to talk to, and he was always there to offer a shoulder to cry on or a word of encouragement. Slowly but surely, Chloe began to see Adam as more than just a friendly face at the strip club. She began to develop feelings for him, too.
>
>
> As Chloe's addiction to heroin worsened, Adam became increasingly concerned for her wellbeing. He knew that she needed help, but he also knew that she had to want to change in order for any treatment to be effective. So he waited, patiently but persistently, for the right moment to talk to her about getting clean.
>
>
> One day, when Chloe was feeling particularly low, Adam took her aside and told her that he loved her and that he wanted to help her get better. He didn't judge her or lecture her; he simply told her that he believed in her and that he would be there to support her every step of the way. [February 2005]
>
>
> With Adam's help, Chloe was able to find a rehab program that worked for her. It wasn't easy, and there were many times when she wanted to give up, but Adam was always there to remind her of how far she had come and how much she had to live for.
>
>
> Eventually, Chloe was able to kick her addiction to heroin and start a new life for herself. And through it all, Adam was there, supporting her and loving her unconditionally. Their relationship had started in a strip club, but it had grown into something much deeper and more meaningful than either of them could have ever imagined.
>
>
> Chloe and Adam's relationship continued to grow stronger as they moved in together, at Chloe's current apartment, and worked through their problems as a team. Chloe had quit her job as a dancer and focused on bartending, while Adam worked as a part-time sports coach and MMA fighter. Despite the irregularity of his income, they managed to pay the rent and live comfortably. [March 2005]
>
>
> Their relationship wasn't without its challenges, however. Adam had some trust issues and was uncomfortable with Chloe's friendships with other men. He tried to hide his jealousy, but Chloe could sense it and they had several arguments about the issue.
>
>
> Adam and Chloe's sexual chemistry was undeniable, and they pushed the boundaries of their comfort zones with each other. They explored kinks and fetishes that they had never tried before, all while maintaining open communication and consent. They both felt a sense of liberation and excitement in their sexual experimentation.
>
>
> However, as time went on, their trust issues began to rear their ugly head. Adam would become jealous and possessive, questioning Chloe's interactions with other men, which would lead to arguments and tension in their relationship. Despite their strong sexual connection, their trust issues would ultimately lead to the downfall of their once-golden relationship.
>
>
> With the lack of contraceptives, their fruitful sexual adventures had result in the conception of an unborn child, and Chloe had already fell pregnant before they had noticed. As the reality of the pregnancy set in, both Adam and Chloe's relationship became strained. [August 2005]
>
>
> They both had different ideas about what to do, and it was a source of constant tension between them. Chloe wanted to keep the baby and start a family, but Adam wasn't ready for that kind of commitment. He suggested an abortion, but Chloe was adamant that she wanted to keep the baby.
>
>
> Despite their differences, they tried to make it work for the sake of the child. Adam's jealousy and trust issues resurfaced, and he started to become controlling and possessive over Chloe's life, mentioning about how she could "Fall in line, or leave". He would constantly check up on her and demand to know her whereabouts at all times. Chloe, feeling suffocated, would often lash out and argue with him.
>
>
> Chloe was caught in a difficult situation. She loved Adam and wanted to make their relationship work, but his constant accusations and paranoia were taking a toll on her mental health. She felt trapped, and her usual coping mechanisms of partying with drugs and alcohol were no longer applicable. She knew she needed to make a change, for herself and for her unborn child.
>
>
> Chloe tried talking to Adam about his trust issues, but he refused to acknowledge that he had a problem. He continued to accuse her of cheating, even when she was at work or spending time with her friends. Chloe felt like she was walking on eggshells around him and didn't know how to make things better.
>
>
> As Chloe listened to Adam's words, she began to understand that his trust issues were not entirely her fault. She realized that Adam had his own insecurities and past experiences that were contributing to his behaviour. It was a moment of realization for both of them, and they decided to work through their problems together.
>
>
> Chloe began to make a conscious effort to reassure Adam of her loyalty and commitment to their relationship. She would make sure to spend more quality time with him and communicate openly about her feelings and concerns. Adam, in turn, began to work on his own trust issues and insecurities. [September 2005]
>
>
> Adam was on the brink of achieving greatness in his career as an MMA fighter. His much-anticipated tournament was just around the corner, and his opponent was none other than the reigning champion of the sport. Despite feeling confident about his chances of winning, Adam was not prepared for the devastating loss that awaited him in the ring. [October 2005]
>
>
> Chloe, Adam's girlfriend, had come to support him at the match, hoping to witness his victory first-hand. However, the events that transpired left her feeling unsure about what to do next. Adam was beaten swiftly, and it was evident that his dreams of winning the title were shattered.
>
>
> As Adam made his way out of the event hall, Chloe noticed that he seemed to be in a daze. It was as if something had hit him hard, and he was struggling to come to terms with the loss. Without saying a word to her, he walked straight past her and left the venue. Chloe chose to stay behind, giving Adam the space he needed to process his defeat.
>
>
> Adam pulls up to the apartment in his sleek, well-maintained sports car, for it would be the final time that he would use it, his knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel in a tense and focused drive. Chloe arrives a couple of hours later after understanding and respecting Adam's need for some time alone.
>
>
> Chloe was overwhelmed with grief as she witnessed the lifeless body of her partner, Adam, lying on the floor with his back to the bathroom door. There were distinct slashes on his wrists from where blood had pooled out from, achieved with a kitchen knife. It had been hours since he had bled out, and the reality of the situation was sinking in. Chloe's screams echoed throughout the room and building as she realized that the love of her life was gone forever. [13th October 2005]
>
>
> She frantically dialled for emergency services, but it felt like hours before help arrived. When the authorities finally arrived, they had to pry Chloe away from Adam's cold cadaver as she clung onto him, unable to let go. For Deputy Sheriff Simon Moore, the sight of Adam's blood soaking into her choice of floral dress was a haunting reminder of the tragedy that had just occurred.
>
>
> As the investigation unfolded, it was discovered that Adam had been involved in a high-stakes illegal fighting ring, which likely contributed to his untimely death. Explained by Moore, it was highly likely that he had lost money for very powerful people that day, and with the ongoing relationship problems with Chloe, it was a recipe for the man's mind to choose suicide. She was devastated to learn that the man she loved had been involved in such a dangerous world without her knowledge, she wasn't particularly lawful, but it was scary to think what other things he had hid from her.
>
>
> Chloe remains melancholic and inwardly troubled by the loss of Adam for the following months. As time passes, she begins to show signs of pregnancy, and her belly grows, indicating that she is going to have a daughter. However, with the sudden loss of Adam, Chloe realizes she must increase her efforts to support herself and her unborn child. Working as a bartender only provides her with meagre income, barely enough to get by.
>
>
> Chloe decided to take up a job as a waitress at a downtown restaurant, *Al Dente*, ran by Melania Marsala to supplement her income. The job was relatively easy, but the tips were modest at best, but she managed to keep up with the bills and support herself during the pregnancy. Melania, along with her husband who ran the place, became very fond of this woman. While Melania was her boss and treated Chloe with that regard, the two restaurant owners proved very kind people, and their employee, Steven, seemed to be an all-around bonus, working the tills and helping Chloe as a hilarious but witty friend and colleague.
>
>
> As her due date approached, Chloe became more anxious about becoming a single mother. She knew she had to be strong for her daughter, but the weight of Adam's absence was always present. Nevertheless, she was determined to provide her daughter with the best life possible, she will try, at least.
>
>
> On a chilly December evening, 12th 2005; Chloe gave birth to a beautiful baby girl at Pillbox Medical Centre, whom she named Layla. Holding Layla in her arms, Chloe felt a wave of joy and love wash over her. She knew that raising Layla on her own would be difficult, but she was ready for the challenge. [12th December 2005]
>
>
> Chloe's lack of attention to her daughter began to worry her friends, especially Angel, who could see the toll it was taking on the baby. As time passed, Chloe's priorities seemed to shift away from motherhood and towards her social life, leaving Layla neglected and often in the care of others. This behaviour caused tension between Chloe and her friends, as they struggled to balance their concern for Layla's well-being with their desire to support Chloe.
>
>
> Layla would cry for hours on end, and her health began to suffer. Angel and other friends would occasionally step in to help care for Layla, but it wasn't enough to make up for Chloe's neglect. One day, Layla became extremely sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. The doctors determined that her illness was due to malnourishment and neglect. Chloe was devastated and guilt-ridden, realizing that her actions had put her daughter's life in danger.
>
>
>
> Chloe struggled to balance her desire for a carefree life with her responsibility as a mother. As Layla grew older, Chloe found it increasingly difficult to keep up with her needs and care for her properly. She would often come home late at night, exhausted and with little energy left to give her daughter the attention and care she needed.
>

**The Russians, c. 2007-2009**

> As Chloe struggled to make ends meet, she felt that she had no other option but to return to the strip club scene. However, instead of going back to the old club, where she previously worked, she found a new opportunity at a new & popular Gentleman's club in Vinewood, which was run by a group of Russian migrants. The club was known for its wild parties and extravagant performances, and Chloe quickly became one of the new, interesting faces to the many regulars of the venue.
>
>
> Despite the financial relief that came with her new job, Chloe found herself further sinking into a lifestyle that wasn't conducive to raising a child. The late nights were all a part of her new job, and they were all things that Chloe knew she needed to now hide from her friends and her daughter.
>
>
> Chloe had reintroduced herself to drugs that she swore not to return to. becoming more and more reliant as time went by, and while she tried her best to meet the timely requirements to get home, she couldn't resist to take her mind off of things, to party and drink to help her escape from the stresses of her life. Her friends, unknowing of her new job, grew suspicious, but Chloe was stubborn and refused let them in. She believed that she could handle everything on her own.
>
>
> Chloe's once hopeful and innocent demeanour had been replaced by a sense of guilt and self-loathing. Her transformation was complete, and the girl who had arrived from Liberty City just two years ago was now unrecognizable.
>
>
> As Chloe became more involved with the strip club, she formed a connection with Aleksey Kalugin, a Russian man who worked in the building's security and managed the club's dancers and backroom prostitutes. Aleksey was ambitious, with dreams of working for the local mafia, and he saw his job at the club as a way to gain connections and power. Chloe found herself drawn to his light-heartedness and charm, and they quickly begin an off-the-books friendship.
>
>
> Chloe's life became more balanced as she manages to juggle her job and motherhood. With the increased pay from her job at the club, she was able to hire a regular babysitter to take care of Layla when she was not around.
>
>
> Despite the illegality and potential danger involved, Chloe found herself increasingly drawn to the idea of participating in Aleksey's underground prostitution program at the club. She became more involved with Aleksey and found herself succumbing to his charm and manipulative tactics. Chloe found herself working longer hours and becoming more involved within the seedy underworld of the Russian mafia.
>
>
> Despite the dangers, Chloe continued to participate, driven by the desire to provide for her daughter, for herself and the thrill of the forbidden. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was slowly losing her dignity to this dangerous lifestyle. Chloe's involvement in prostitution may have been lucrative, but it was also a slippery slope.
>
>
> Her drug use and casual attitude towards sex put her at risk for various health issues, including sexually transmitted infections and addiction. However, the application of a contraceptive implant provided some level of security in the face of these risks, as well as keeping use of condoms, where applicable.
>
>
> Aleksey differs from the typical cold and authoritative portrayal of pimps or handlers within the prostitution scene. Their developing friendship that would ultimately be destroyed by Chloe's deteriorating mental state, fuelled by drugs and alcohol. After a drunken argument and dispute with Aleksey about the pressures of her demanding work shifts, Chloe impulsively vandalizes Aleksey's car by smashing the headlights and keying the paint on at least one side. Her erratic behaviour and destructive actions reflect the untold toll of her emotional struggles.
>
>
> Despite Aleksey's lack of personal offense, he began to distance himself from Chloe, maintaining their professional relationship as employer and employee. However, he did demand that Chloe repay a debt for the damages, which was set at a staggering $10,000. Though Chloe had the potential to earn this amount in just one week, her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction left her feeling helpless and trapped in a cycle of self-destruction.

> Aleksey, in the meantime, continued to climb the ranks within the organization he was affiliated with, and he saw this as an opportunity to use Chloe's debt to his advantage. He began to pressure her into performing services that went beyond her initial job description. At first, Chloe refused, but as the debt continued to accumulate, she found herself with no other choice but to comply with Aleksey's demands.
>
>
> As time went on, Chloe found herself sinking deeper into the seedy underbelly of Vinewood's nightlife. She was caught in a vicious cycle of addiction and exploitation, unable to escape from the clutches of her cruel employer. Her mental health deteriorated even further, and she found herself with complete reliance on drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.
>
>
> Despite having a babysitter to ensure Layla's safety and comfort, Chloe still felt a sense of loss as she couldn't be there for her daughter at all times. She missed out on the chance to kiss her goodnight, tuck her into bed, and witness her growth and development first-hand. This realization only added to Chloe's already overwhelming feelings of guilt and sorrow.
>
>
> Aleksey continued to rise in power within his organization, being deemed a made man, and his relationship with Chloe had strained to thin lines. Despite this, he remained her employer and often tried to encourage her to keep going, of course, these were now cold words of who felt like an entirely different man.
>
>
> Layla's second birthday was around the corner, Kalugin, having been patient with Chloe's debt, grew frustrated with the time it took for her to pay it off. As a result, he began to view her with resentment and saw an opportunity to use her as leverage in his dealings. He started to push her to do things she wasn't even comfortable with, with her financial situation as a lever and fulcrum.
>
>
> Chloe found herself caught in a dangerous game, unable to escape the clutches of Kalugin and his associates. The once promising job opportunity she had found had turned into a nightmare, and she found herself trapped in a world of violence and crime. Despite her best efforts to pay off her debt and escape, Chloe found that the deeper she got involved, the harder it was to break free.
>
>
> Under the constant pressure and threats from Aleksey and his associates, Chloe found herself trapped in a vicious cycle of debt and servitude. She had no choice but to continue working as his prostitute, enduring the constant objectification and degradation from her clients, for what was a fun experiment had now become day-to-day torture. Despite her best efforts to earn more money and pay off her debt, the interest kept piling up, and she was constantly reminded of the consequences of not meeting her obligations.
>
>
> Chloe's mental and physical health deteriorated rapidly under the stress of her situation. She barely had time to spend with her daughter, and when she did, she was too exhausted and emotionally drained to give her the attention she deserved. The guilt and shame she felt only served to worsen her state of mind.
>
>
> As time went on, Chloe realized that she was not alone in her predicament. A few of the other women at the club were in similar situations, trapped by their debts and the power dynamics of the industry. She began to form limited bonds with these women, sharing her struggles as quiet whispers, with message of support and solidarity.
>
>
> Through a twist of fate, Chloe found herself in a precarious situation when she was observed speaking with an off-duty police officer while at a bar in the West Vinewood region. Whether this was an orchestrated set-up intended to provide a pretext for her elimination or simply a misunderstanding on the part of her associates is unknown. In truth, Chloe had no intention of informing on anyone to the authorities.
>
>
> As Chloe struggled against her captors, she was able to dial the number for Anthony Hill, a cop she had met previously. Hill answered the call and was able to hear Chloe's screams for help before the call was abruptly cut off. Sensing that something was wrong, Hill immediately mobilized his colleagues and set out to find Chloe, but it was too late. The phone was destroyed before the authorities could pinpoint a location.
>
>
> Chloe's captors had underestimated her resourcefulness, but she was no match for these violent and cunning Russian mobsters. They resorted to physical violence as punishment. With a face marred by bruises and a nose that wouldn't stop bleeding, she implored the mobsters to spare her life.
>
>
> Nevertheless, they dragged her into the desolate Senora Desert, to then drive to the North shore of the Alamo Sea. Despite being on the brink of death, Chloe's fear dissipated, replaced by intense anger towards Kalugin, who had betrayed her. She spat and argued, but was repeatedly beaten and thrown onto the sandy beach.
>
>
> Eventually, the decision was made to end her life, and Kalugin aimed his semi-automatic set, automatic-capable machine pistol at her. Two bullets hit, both her abdomen and the other skimming past her left lung and shattering a single front rib. She was left her for death. Her so-called lifeless body was dumped by the shore, next to her Imponte Dukes.
>
>
> Chloe's survival after sustaining two gunshot wounds was nothing short of a miracle, and though she couldn't recall how she got there, she woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and concerned medical staff.
>
>
> Despite her wounds being grave and life-threatening, she pulled through with surprising resilience. This experience was a turning point in her life, as she was confronted with the terror of mortality and the fragility of life. Chloe had to confront her own problems and the consequences of her choices.
>
>
> She struggled with the physical and emotional aftermath of the shooting, including persistent bowel problems that required surgical intervention to connect the damaged and missing intestines, which had been ruptured from the shooting. The procedure was successful in repairing the physical damage and Chloe was left with a sense of indifference towards her body, and a newfound appreciation for the fleeting nature of life.
>
>
> After recovering from her injuries, Chloe realized that she needed to change her life and leave the dangerous world of strip-dancing and prostitution behind, these steps were obvious, but the money was less so. - Losing that income was a hard-hit. She knew that the mob would kill her if she was seen alive after her apparent death. She did not have to hide so greatly, however, as if she is assumed dead, then there was no one actively looking for her, and things could be easier than expected in such a wide and bustling city.
>
>
> During her month stay in the County hospital, she was cleansed of her addictions, as with being due a detox. Chloe was now again seeing with clearer sight. Once she was discharged and returned home discreetly, on a city-bound bus, she discovered that her daughter had been placed in temporary care as a result of her prolonged absence.
>
>
> Following a thorough explanation from Chloe, the social services returned Layla to her custody after reviewing her medical discharge papers. Despite the fact that her medical papers showed that she had undergone bowel surgery, the caseworkers were not aware of the gunshot wounds. Nonetheless, Chloe was overjoyed to be reunited with her daughter.
>
>
> Chloe had no way to make ends meet, she was unemployed in this state of recovery from her injuries and addiction, her extensive collection of revealing dresses and mismatch tops, skirts and shorts that made up the entirety of her wardrobe, at least a few thousand worth in dollars, all used for her previous line of work. But in these days of unemployment, she was grateful to have her daughter back in her life, but the financial strain was overwhelming. Fortunately, Officer Anthony Hill, whom she had attempted to call for help, stepped in to offer his support.
>
>
> Despite Anthony's insistence, Chloe refused to engage in the investigation officially, knowing that it would put her and her daughter's lives at risk. She had learned her lesson and wanted to distance herself as far as possible from the people who hurt her.
>
>
> While Anthony was initially hesitant to close the books without further investigation, he eventually respected Chloe's wishes and closed the case. The conflicting evidence made it difficult to pursue any leads, and without Chloe's cooperation, it would have been even more challenging to get anywhere in the pursuit for truth.
>
>
> Angel had been one of Chloe's closest friends, and despite the time that had passed, their bond had not weakened. When Chloe resurfaced after her brush with death, Angel was both relieved and concerned for her well-being. He knew about her past struggles with addiction and the dangerous crowd she had gotten involved with.
>
>
> He feared that she would fall back into old habits or that her enemies would catch up to her. But Chloe assured him that she was doing better than ever before. She had told him that she had taken steps to leave her old life behind, including staying away from drugs and the dangerous circles she used to frequent, and that she was determined to regain custody of her daughter, where she found herself winning.
>
>
> Angel had been worried sick about Chloe's safety, and offered her the spare room in his apartment in the upscale neighbourhood of Vinewood. Chloe was hesitant, given her troubled history with the area, but Angel reassured her of his duty of care towards her and her daughter, and that they wouldn't have to pay rent.
>
>
>
> Chloe eventually accepted Angel's offer and moved in, bringing her three-year old, Layla with. She was relieved to have found a new roof over their heads. Despite her initial reservations about Vinewood, she soon found herself appreciating the peace and security of Angel's apartment. With his help and support, Chloe started rebuilding pieces of her life like the blocks of a Jenga set.

**The Conti Crime Family, c. 2010**

> Chloe's mind raced with the possibility of returning to a life of crime, and the physical scars left by Aleksey had healed. Despite the safety of Angel's home, she could not shake off the nagging feeling that she needed to provide for her daughter, and it felt wrong to live solely off his funds. Memories of her time working for Kalugin flooded her mind, but this time, she had a plan. Chloe was reminded of an opposing, West Vinewood crew. They were Italians, and the entire area was theirs. If she were under their payroll, then her previous employers were no longer a threat.
>
>
> As she spent many lazy days at Angel's house, and her daughter turning age four, the idea of returning to work began to consume her thoughts. She made the decision to take a long walk down to the Italian-dominated neighbourhood to seek work.
>
>
> Her stomach churned with nervousness as she approached the crew, in fear of ridicule or mistakes, but her years of experience in the criminal world had prepared her for these kind of things. She presented herself as a capable and experienced sex worker, and before long, they welcomed her into their fold.
>
>
> She was employed by Michael Farina, a man of questionable morals, with a penchant for schemes and twisted thoughts. His main interest lay in dealing with prostitutes, and Chloe was no stranger to being one. She was naturally hesitant, but was excited to work with someone new. She found herself agreeing to his terms and the proposition of pay.
>
>
> Chloe was in a perpetual cycle of moral dilemma. Her work was tiring, as it always had been, and barring the rare and intriguing client who brought her a slither of sexual satisfaction, she found an awkward pleasure in knowing that she was taking advantage of lonely men, discounting for the infrequent female customer, for her simple sexual exchange would rake in satisfactory pay-out, each night. Though, her mind was constantly battling with the guilt of betraying herself and her values, especially after cursing for change, but the financial gains were just too significant to ignore.
>
>
> Chloe's nights were filled with risky and interesting encounters, donning alluring dresses and lingerie, underneath big & expensive fur coats, with makeup applied boldly, to make her stand out amongst Vinewood in the search for customers.
>
>
> She spent her time on the streets to work freely outside of their clubs and venues, while paying a small toll in return. Most of the time, Michael had arranged clients over the phone or through online ads. The hours spent in Farina's SUV were exhausting, as they dart between the condos of Vespucci to the lowly bungalows of South Central. Chloe often shared the ride with other women of her career calibre, where a client would be asking for a lot more than a single serving. Despite the dangerous nature of the job in the past, Chloe felt surprisingly safe under Farina's wing, a stark contrast to her experiences with Kalugin.
>
>
> While the Italian crew could be just as brutal as their Russian counterparts, Chloe didn't feel the same level of fear and intimidation from them, and despite the nature of her job, Chloe found comfort in the sense of community at their front of business and pub-themed bar, the Dirty Duke. The Italian crew welcomed her with open arms, and she felt a sense of belonging that she was otherwise unexpecting. Even though she was working for Farina, directly, it felt like she was a part of something bigger. She spent her free time there, chatting with the regulars and making a couple of new contacts.
>
>
> Farina also trusted her enough to give her more responsibilities within the crew. In addition to her usual work, she was now tasked with giving private dances to some of the crew members upstairs. Chloe felt more comfortable with the assignment, with her familiarity in dancing. These were the steps she needed to take to earn their trust if she wanted to continue working with them.
>
>
> As time passed, Angel's concern for Chloe grew, flaring up as it had before, but he didn't want to confront her and risk pushing her away. Instead, he silently observed her behaviour and kept a watchful eye on her. He noticed how her appearance had changed once again, how she would disappear for hours, and how her mood had become increasingly distant and detached. But despite his worries, he remained supportive of her, at least with some semblance to be proud of her actions, as she was providing for Layla, and making a lot more appearances within the toddlers life.
>
>
>
>
> Farina had found Chloe's personality intriguing but difficult to manage. She was inclined to take nights off when Michael needed her the most. Michael did not resort to direct physical violence, but he was no less abusive. He had a more insidious way of exerting control - by manipulating her mind. When Farina discovered that Chloe had a daughter, he used the child as leverage to ensure Chloe's compliance. Although she was only human, Michael expected her to function like a well-oiled machine.
>
>
> He was not a man to be trifled with. He held her fate in his hands and reminded her of this constantly. Chloe soon found herself the subject of Michael's objectification, and the shortly-lived golden era had come to a screeching halt, enduring threats of violence and death if she did not meet his demands. It was as if history was repeating itself, and perhaps it was due to her ineptitude, but she working to best of her ability. Chloe had been in this position before, and she couldn't believe that she was back in it again.
>
>
> Michael had gotten her hooked on heroin to keep her under his control, and while she initially declined, he had lied and convinced her that he was also an addict and would not judge her for using it. Soon enough, she had given in to his coaxing and felt the euphoric, opioid rush coursing through her veins once again. Her dependency on heroin only grew stronger by the day, making it nearly impossible for her to break free from Michael's grasp.
>
>
> She begged Michael for more cash, claiming that she needed to support her young daughter. Michael obliged, but only to a point, and instead of continuing to provide her with the heroin she thought she needed, he cut her off, she was left with liquid funds. While Chloe tried to do the right thing by staying clean, the grip of addiction proved too strong. There was money for Layla, but almost every dollar was spent on dime bags of black tar, and bottles of liquor, only for her to throw it all up again, by the end of the night.
>
>
> She had fallen from grace and was now viewed only as a lowly sex worker by society, presented as a 'slut', or 'whore' by on-lookers, adorned with revealing clothes, with not a single item of modesty within her repertoire, in which you'll find these only served as reinforcements to the negative perception that was held towards her, but these were the eye-catches, and the bait & lure for potential customers. While some may seek a sophisticated escort, she was not, and far from one.
>
>
> The superficial pleasures that she once enjoyed, as to actually believe herself in saying that this lifestyle was one she once longed for, and that she had chosen this path, willingly. She did, and it was her choice - But, she had been manipulated into this dark place where she finds herself, chained to addiction and debt, with the close-leashed hold of Farina, just like Kalugin, before him.
>
>
> Her career could've been worthwhile & exciting, but her body was no longer sacred, as Chloe could no longer devise her body-count on five, or ten fingers, or the numbers of days in a month. But, it did not matter how many times she had gotten intimate with strangers, because it was her job, and before her circumstances had fell to the level they are now, perhaps she did enjoy being who she was, for a short time.
>
>
> Farina severs his ties with Chloe in a violent and terrifying encounter, an impulsive action on his behalf. He convinced her to enter a taxi, to speak about work, which he instructed to drive out to the near-desolate east coast of Los Santos, where the lighthouse meets the shore. Chloe was consumed with fear as she realized Michael was here to kill her. The taxi driver was concerned by these red flags before being brutally murdered by Farina with a shot to the back of his head, the latter was seated behind him. Chloe was in the passenger-seat, having been coated in the innocent man's blood and brain matter.
>
>
> Michael had dragged Chloe from the vehicle, and her scantily clad body trembles in the frigid coastal wind. Farina orders her to walk along the shore, with no choice but to traverse the sandy and rough terrain in her high heels. Although initially paralyzed with fear and crying with mascara-streaked tears, Chloe becomes resigned and dispirited, as she accepts her fate.
>
>
> Farina makes her walk for a mile in the freezing cold, before forcing her to stand before the coast with a gun pointed at her back. Chloe was convinced that this was the place where she would meet her end, and with every passing second, she expected a bullet to pierce her body. They stood there, motionless, for what felt like an eternity.
>
>
> Even Farina, who had brought her here, started to feel the chill of the coastal wind. Michael declared in a cold, calm tone that it was time for her to stop working, and that she was free to go. Chloe turned to face him, her body trembling with fear and exhaustion. Michael had one last request, one more sickening proposition.
>
>
> He ordered her to kneel, with his M2 Baretta Semi-Automatic trained towards her head, it's steel barrel pressed against the very skin upon her skull. Despite the biting cold, Chloe's legs, garbed in sheer nylon tights, sank into the damp sand below. His last request was to feel what it was like to receive the services that she had gave out, for the last year of her employment.
>
>
> It was so bitter, disgusting, the smell, and the cold. But it was over before she knew it, as tears run down her face as Michael was pleasured orally, he stops her, pulling her head back in a seeming bout of disgust of his own actions. Farina hoisted Chloe up from the cold, damp sand, her body was rigid and hunched, with her movements hampered by the tight skirt she wore for work, trembling and shivering from the frigid coastal breeze.
>
>
> He feigned concern, a near-false display of care from a man who had just moments ago threatened to end her life, and had effectively raped her. Michael, the tyrant who had lured her into this predicament, appeared to be experiencing a rare moment of remorse as he zipped up his pants and chewed his lip with regret.
>
>
> With nothing more to say to Chloe, he pulls her along by the arm as they made their way back. Michael had made the unexpected decision to spare Chloe's life, leaving her bewildered and traumatized by the twisted mind of Farina. Eventually, Farina and Chloe returned to the roadside, and when Farina's men arrived to pick him up, Chloe was left alone in the cold to make her own way home.
>
>
> As she sat there on the roadside curb, shivering in the cold, Chloe couldn't help but wonder if it would have been better to be dead. But as she thought more about it, she realized that there was more meaning in survival, even in the face of trauma and tragedy.
>
>
> Chloe realized that her time in this dangerous game she had been a part of was up, forever, or for a very long time, yet. She was free from the grip of her abuser, but the toll it had taken on her was severe. That day, she made her way back to Angel's house, and she could feel the weight of it all rather overbearing.
>
>
>
> Angel, her loyal and loving friend, welcomed Chloe with open arms, and held her tightly as she wept. The physical scars of the gunshot wounds on her body were nothing compared to the deep wounds on her mind and soul. Chloe knew that she needed time to heal and recover, but the thought of being unemployed and without direction was daunting.
>

**Downfalls, c. 2011**

After and throughout the years of difficulties and abuse, Chloe's obviously deteriorating mental health brought to signs of Schizophrenia, or related psychosis. These challenges raised new issues, most notably Chloe's daily struggle with regular, everyday life. Chloe struggles with raising Layla and makes ends meet by continuing her work in prostitution.

As her ties to the Conti criminal family fade, Chloe's employment becomes more freelance. To keep her mind in check, she dabbles in illegal drugs and alcohol. Around this time, after numerous sessions at Pillbox Hill Medical Center, Chloe has a violent "psychotic episode," and JT endears a brief expedition to bring mayhem or a shift in the environment.

Because of the principal victim, this has been known as the 'Zelda Incident' or 'Zelda Henly Incident.' During a unique therapy session, JT coaxes Chloe into making a scene, which leads in Chloe shooting a gun into the psychologist's chest. Chloe gave it her all against JT, bursting into tears and struggling to put an end to a potentially dangerous scenario. Though JT is satisfied, Chloe soon discovers that Zelda survived the gunshot.

As a consequence, Chloe is arrested and charged with Attempted Murder. She is sentenced to ten years in the local County Jail, Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Chloe's experience in jail was terrible since there was no mental health team to help her, and because they were dealing with someone who was supposedly violent, they put her in isolation for long periods of time. This gave Chloe a lot of time to contemplate, which was draining on her spirit and wellness. JT's life had deteriorated significantly since the incident, his presence going dark four years in, and with the board considering possibilities, Chloe was freed on the ninth year of her sentence for mental evaluation at the city hospital, PHMC.

**Release & Reconciliation, c. Feb 2022**

A lot of psychological changes were imprinted onto Chloe, while she was still herself informally, the duration of her stay in TTCF had worn her spirit to a blunt edge. This came with some progressive benefit, however. Chloe seemed more sage, as if her life slowed down to a grinding halt. These effects could probably be explained by the medication she was now on.

After her release from TTCF, she had nowhere and noone to stay with. Chloe currently had no awareness to her daughter, Layla's, where-a-bouts. LSSD Deputy Simon Moore decided to take Chloe in as to avoid a homeless situation, putting behind their past quarrels. While their relationship was bumpy, distant and short, Simon Moore was dedicated to her. Chloe's depressive and lost state brought them apart, within only 3 months, they split up.

Chloe had gotten herself arrested again for kidnapping a Taxi Driver with a fake .38 Special. Her sentence only lasted 3 months, leaving Chloe alone, once again. On the brighter side of things, Hill was trying her upmost to keep her mental health in-check, going as far as using, or so ''over-using'' her prescription anti-psychotics. Chloe & JT were no longer on speaking terms, their last communication being around 2016 while she was in TTCF.

After her release for the kidnapping charge, by circumstance, she was reconciled with an old friend, Tom Langley. This lost connection brought-anew was a little bit of a wakeup call for Chloe, as while she was very self-aware and newly wise, all of what made her so young and spry had left her until now. Tom was almost a friends-with-benefits relationship to her, and eventually Tom let's her move in to his trailer North of the Alamo Sea.

**The Italian, c. June 2022**

With no money on the horizon, she was considering re-joining the prostitution business, while she dabbled in a couple of jobs, it no longer felt right for her to do so while in the shallow relationship with Tom; who was a new hire to Aurum Energy, helped Chloe get a job referral. During Chloe's short-lived tenure at Aurum Energy as an office worker, she met Vince Torelli at a care & beauty store in Del Perro.

While both Vincent & Chloe were on friendly terms, their relationship was nothing more than a name-exchange. They passed each other phone numbers but for the next few weeks, the interaction was little. After Chloe's induction into Aurum's workforce, Vincent was conveniently in the area, considering his court of work being the Mission Row stretch. In due time, however, Tom Langley was fired from his job at Aurum Energy, there, both Chloe & Vince built a little bit of chemistry, the two were obviously fond of each other, even if words didn't say so.

At the same time, Chloe & Tom's relationship was rocky, as Langley was quite a childish man at times, lacking some of the social skills that other men give in display. Things were about to change, however, and due to unknown circumstances, Tom Langley was presumed missing till the present day.

The relationship between Vincent & Chloe was about to start, and with Tom out of the picture, she had nowhere to stay. She acquired a rented property from an old friend Adam Kaminski, a realtor. She was allowed to stay for free if she kept herself clean from illicits and stuck to her prescription's schedule. There was both a shared mystery between the two, as Vincent hid a long past behind himself, Chloe had an equal share of trauma. These elements would serve to benefit their relationship as the trust given to each other was almost impalpable, especially due to the revealing of such secrets such as murder accounts on both ends, and Chloe's life-long 'superpower'.

**Put a Ring on it, c. July 2022**

Chloe's relationship with Vincent takes a step-up as in their romantic connection, the idea of proposal is spouted. Soon enough, on an early morning during July, Vincent Torelli drove Chloe up toward a calm wooded spot within the County line between Blaine and Los Santos. He knelt on one knee and handed Chloe an engagement ring with the committing question of proposal. She announced in agreement, clearly happy about the situation. Currently, both Vincent are still engaged. Around this period, Chloe was given an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis, the cause of her condition arising from seemingly nothing is unknown, but it may be related to the narcotics abuse she's endured with for decades.

Though Chloe had just accepted proposal, she was currently glued in a sexual relationship with a British tourist called Chris. Within Chloe's Pillbox Hill rented apartment, Vince caught Chloe and Chris in the act on the living room's couch. An argument ensues between Chris and Vincent which ends up getting physical, resulting in Vince getting beat to the floor. Chloe warned off Chris by fetching an unloaded 9mm Barretta from an under-the-bed stash. Chris took his leave and in turn, the landlord Adam Kaminski came up to check the commotion.

With Vincent suffering a non-severe seizure due to a hard punch, paramedics are called. Adam, with his strict rules, argues with Hill, who is riled, guilty and upset by the situation. When paramedics arrive, Adam gives them a hard time as he continues to argue and the LSPD is called to the scene. Vincent is stabilized by the paramedics and a Police Officer breaks the arguing elements up to calm the situation. Adam wants Chloe out by tomorrow and criticizes her mental stability. Though, in retaliation, she takes her leave in the hour, packing up her luggage to stay in PHMC for the night.

Hours after the incident, Chloe and Vincent meet up within the patient residential ward of PHMC to talk about the events prior. There is a lack of trust between the two, and rightly so. Though, in time the two come to comfortable terms and take their leave to stay in the Richman Hotel.

Both Vincent and Chloe claim home to a hotel room for the few following weeks, another incident arising which almost ended in Vince murdering Chloe. This argument was about the lack of trust between the two, once again. Though, after both of them calmed down, things were hashed out once again. They exchanged a release of guilts and liabilities at Los Santos' Del Perro Pier; dropping a crowbar and photos, which held bad omens, within the watery depths.

Their relationship remained stable until Chloe's arrest and commitment in August.

**Flint County, c. August 2022**

Due to the Chloe's ongoing criminal activity, and a certain stalking incident, Chloe was confined and committed to a psychiatric facility, specifically, Flint County Psychiatric Hospital.

Vincent frequently travels to FCPH to see Chloe, who lives there. Chloe is currently receiving one-on-one counselling, strong medication, and group therapy. She hasn't always been cooperative with the site's personnel. Due to her own personal unwillingness to take the prescribed medication. One on occasion, Chloe, while on-site, created a temporary barrier inside the mess hall, made of chairs and tables in defiance of her medication schedule. Roy, a particular staff member, enjoys tormenting her since it provides him cover to do so as an Orderly. The majority of FCPH inmates are allowed to keep their personal items, such as phones and clothing purchased at home, but Chloe is not allowed to do so because of risk management measures and the facility's danger-charting system of Blue, Yellow and Red security levels, respectfully. She is presently being evaluated for a transfer to a different, more secure facility.

With numerous passing visits from Vincent, a hopeful dialogue was had while Chloe reminisced about her daughter, Layla. Though she had no idea where Layla lived, she had met her foster-carers, Sheryl and David, who had changed property twice to ensure that Chloe would not discover Layla's location.

A search made by a third party might provide different results. Vincent's quest lasts barely two weeks before he receives information on a 'Layla Black' residing in a foster family in the Richman neighbourhood. This kid occurred to be Chloe's daughter by chance or happenstance, Vincent's search being a success. However, things were awkward. Layla was just 16 years old and had become accustomed to her life with her foster parents. A shift may be more detrimental to her life. Vincent, on the other hand, was not about to quit up. Sheryl, Layla's foster mother, and Vince reach an arrangement for a $70,000 monetary settlement to facilitate an adoption. Though Sheryl disliked Chloe and the arrangement, she had conducted firmly in this manner for most of her career as a foster-carer.

**Heart Attack!, c. September 2022**

Vincent scheduled a meet on a Saturday as for him and Layla to travel up to the hospital, though mixed-up dates had clogged the situation. Visitations to the facility were only along Monday's to Friday's, and sometimes even the Wednesday's or Monday's were cancelled. Though Vincent was a middleman in this exchange, the situation granted some time to bond with his potentially new step-daughter. With two days to go before the visit on Monday, Vincent has the idea of a road trip to San Fierro, somewhere Layla hasn't been before.

With a little bit of convincing, Layla manages to bide the two day-span as a small vacation, almost already feeling a likeness for the Italian father-figure. Vincent and Layla tour the sights of San Fierro, he gave her some money to go clothes-shopping, with the evening, enjoying a meal at a couple of restaurants during their stay 'abroad'. The two nights are spent in a hotel, and while Layla feels homesick the next day, Vincent tries his best to cheer her up.

Visitation day was here, the Monday morning. While Layla is reluctant on going at first, some breakfast hashes most of the anxieties out. To beat the traffic, they leave early and arrive at the FCPH where Vince lays the question that, if she really didn't want to go, then it was her final decision. Layla, not wanting to turn back now, gave him the greenlight. This visitation was not like the ones before as, due to Chloe's quarrel with the staff team, did not take place in the mess hall, where things usually do. At first, Vincent was to make introductions, Chloe was worn out on her medication, completely and utterly sluggish with an emptiness to her being.

Things had been like this for awhile, now. Though, Chloe had no idea her daughter was visiting today. Things start off well as, the surprise to her brought her to life almost instantly, the joy of seeing her daughter again was truly invigorating. The situation from Layla's shoes were a little different, however. Her mother wasn't a figure of love, nurture & care, as her childhood memories were plagued by the incessant, psychotic rambling and drinking, drug use, the neglect. - These were the memories she had of her mother. An abusive wreck, something that you want to stay away from, as far as possible, to keep yourself from the toxic past.

Feelings in the room were very one-sided, Layla expresses her mind, laying down some truth to Chloe as she declares no love for her. This broke Chloe's heart, quite literally as, due to hereditary blood pressure issues and her own ongoing anxiety attacks, she suffers a cardiac arrest with her heart stopping for at least a minute, or two before she was resuscitated. Layla had left the room before Chloe went down and, quite contrarily, was upset to hear that her mother almost died. Vincent returns Layla home very same day, she refused to have a conversation for the entirety of the journey.

Chloe was in a coma for four days before waking up. Roy Minelli, the abusive Orderly, tried raping Chloe within a private ICU room after she requested a phone-call to her finacé, Vincent. While Chloe tried putting up a fight against Roy, her left wrist was cuffed to the bed frame due to site security. In retaliation, Minelli had beaten her till she was unresponsive.

Though she had suffered quite the beating from Roy Minelli, she wasn't in a critical state, per say. She spends the following week recovering in the hospital's infirmary until Vincent visits on the 27th of the month. During these couple of days leading up toward the 27th of September, Chloe had experienced two strange hallucinations, one involving two Italians, Maria & Prufrock, who were seen talking in the halls of the hospital, from Chloe's point of view. Her second hallucination involved the demon Purson, who visited her in the early hours of the same day, standing over her bed with a clear and judging presence. While Chloe was scared of it's presence, the demon soon left without a word, only leaving a scent of sulphur and ash.

During Vincent's visit to FCPH, Chloe had asked a question that had came up before in previous visitations, the request if possible that Vince could kill her as to end her sufferable confinement within the state facility. This had made them both upset, but Vincent moreso. With their tearful conversation in motion, Vincent peruses in asking Chloe about the many bruises that she wore, from Roy's attack. Chloe was hesitant to release the information due to the hopelessness of her situation, but decided otherwise, letting in on what happened to an exact degree. The thing she was most fearful of, when announcing the facts, was Vincent's cold operation to exact vengeance upon Roy, as these were things he was akin to doing in his line of work, yet with Chloe's selfish outlook, this did not coincide, as it was for her own personal gain that if anything were to be planned, she would finish the job, via killing Minelli herself.

Vincent takes his leave from the visitation session, giving his goodbye's to Chloe. In secrecy, he requests to nurse Bartholomew to speak to Tom Norris, one of the site's orderlies. After both Vincent & Norris leave the building for a smoke break, two armed men, who associate with the Ferrone Crime Family, kidnap both Tom and Vincent, binding their wrists with zip-ties. One of the hospital's security staff members, Alfred, engaged in trying to stalemate the situation by keeping his service pistol aimed on Frankie Minelli, who sat within one of two black Kamacho's they arrived in. Alfred was shot and killed, two shots to the head from behind by an inside man, posing as a guard like himself. A member of staff, Brianna, had called the police in sight of the armed men, only one County Office cruiser arrived, the driver of which was warned off by one of the gunmen's automatic firearms, an AK-47.
