Jessica's POV Bullshit! Did he really think I'd buy such a lame excuse? I'd heard from Johnny that Downey had gotten a beating for harassing a female bartender before. Given his lousy behavior, there was no doubt that this was deliberate. I forgot to ask when their vacation ended and left the door unlocked. "You need to get out of here right now!" I pointed at the bathroom door, my voice dripping with anger. Downey shifted his weight, taking a slow half-step back. His dawdling was clearly an act. He had no intention of leaving so easily. His disgusting gaze swept over me, "Hey, are you feeling unwell? You look flushed. How about I help you out?" As he spoke, he inched closer with that hand I despised. Seeing his approaching arm, I hurled the cup in my hand at him and shouted, "Don't you dare touch me!" He took two steps back, still mumbling, "Don't get so excited. It's a misunderstanding. I really didn't mean it. I always stop by your room when I'm back, didn't

Four days ago. Zander's POV With the Alpha's announcement and the shift in public sentiment online, the malicious reporting against Jessica's designs finally came to an end. I knew in my heart that Alvin valued her highly, and she shouldn't face any more significant troubles. Yet, not being able to see her, I was still deeply worried. I had to admit it to myself-I missed her so much. Unable to focus on work all day, I drove back to our villa. As I walked through the door, I realized every corner was filled with our memories. Those beautiful moments spent with her kept surfacing in my mind, causing my heart to ache even more. I paced back and forth in the room and eventually picked up my phone to call Dwayne. "Hey, Dwayne," I said. My tone was a bit impatient. "Mr. Harrison, what can I do for you?" Dwayne's voice came through the phone. "Get me a new phone and a new number," I said. "No problem. I'm on it right away," Dwayne responded. As my assistant, he kn

Zander's POV Seeing Tawny at Warren's house at that time was, to be honest, quite unexpected. However, the incident from the dinner party was still fresh in my mind, and the subsequent gossip and ridicule I faced had been quite unpleasant. Thus, it was difficult for me to have a good attitude towards Tawny. Tawny looked at me with anticipation, her eyes as if waiting for my response. I took my coffee cup and drained it in one go, showing no intention of talking to her. Her gaze gradually shifted from expectation to grievance, with a hint of loss flickering in her slightly lowered eyes. At that moment, Winnie came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of vibrantly colored macarons. Her eyes swept between Tawny and me, instantly sensing the awkward atmosphere. "These are macarons I just baked. Try some," she said, placing the tray on the table. Then, with a smile, she explained to me, "Tawny's parents have gone on a trip, and I thought the poor girl would be lonely at

Jessica's POV When I discovered that my new neighbor was Zander, I was momentarily stunned, unable to react at first. How could he just show up here? How did he become my neighbor? Zander saw me, and his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, but he quickly tried to hide it, returning to his usual indifferent expression. However, I still caught the undeniable joy deep in his eyes. "Good afternoon, Jessica," he said blandly, trying his best to make his voice sound unaffected. I frowned, directly accusing him, "You've been investigating me, stalking me?" Zander looked at my expression with only surprise, but not unexpectedness. So, I couldn't believe this was merely a coincidence. If he really had been secretly monitoring me, that would be unacceptable. Zander shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness crossing his face, "Our home is too quiet now, I can't sleep." His voice was deep, tinged with a bit of fatigue. I let out a cold laugh, sarcastically reto

Jessica's POVI looked at his back, clad in a tailored suit and his meticulously styled hair. He was a man of precision, yet sometimes his extremes were terrifying. I looked at him and said, "We're divorced. I don't have the duty to play the loyalty game with you anymore. I'm leaving."However, his cold fingertips, like a snake's tongue, slithered down my cheek, showing no intention of letting me go. During our relationship, he had one rule: no betrayal. But now that we were divorced, his possessiveness had not decreased, but instead had reached a pathological level."Zander, let me go," I said.Zander pressed my body against the cold wall, his smile chilling. "Jessica, if I hold you, will you not be cold?""Zander! Are you insane?"His body was hot, pressed tightly against mine. The atmosphere between us immediately became ambiguous. Zander whispered in my ear, "Jessica, even after the divorce, you can only be my woman.""Let me go. There's nothing between Sigmund and me," I said, tr
Chase Me Again Chapter 77
Zander's POVAs my words fell, everyone at the table froze instantly, as if the entire space had been paused. The atmosphere solidified into ice. Naturally, everyone understood that I was threatening. The oppressive silence spread like a tidal wave, enveloping everyone.Life after the divorce has been like a long, painful nightmare for me. Jessica vanished so resolutely, traveling and relaxing with Genevieve as if she had forgotten everything we once had. I, on the other hand, was trapped alone in the ruins of our broken relationship, unable to extricate myself.When Tawny invited me to this banquet, I immediately refused. What a ridiculous class reunion! However, when Dwayne reported back to me and mentioned the name of the school, it was Jessica's alma mater. That lingering attachment deep within my heart, like a spark in the darkness, drove me here.Yet, I never expected that when Jessica saw me, her gaze was as if looking at a stranger. Her indifference felt like a heavy blow to m
Chase Me Again Chapter 76
Jessica's POVHearing Sigmund's words, I instinctively looked at Zander, who was clenching his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging. My heart tightened. I knew Zander all too well. His intense possessiveness was like a raging fire, capable of consuming everything in its path. Sigmund's words had, without a doubt, initiated a silent challenge to Zander in front of everyone.I felt a sense of tension. If I rejected Sigmund at this moment, he would undoubtedly embarrassed in front of everyone, becoming the laughing stock of our social circle. But if I didn't reject him, I was worried about Sigmund becoming a target for Zander.For a moment, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. Genevieve sensed my predicament and, with a smile, stepped in to help me, "Everyone knows that the best ways to forget an ex are either to let time pass or to start a new relationship. I truly hope that someone as outstanding as you can help heal the deep wounds in her heart sooner."As she spoke,
Chase Me Again Chapter 75
Jessica's POVI sat at the table, which seemed lively but was actually unbearable to me. The noisy and chaotic atmosphere surged towards me like a torrential tide, threatening to completely submerge me. An inexplicable sense of oppression and irritability spread in my heart like weeds.When the crowd heard the question, they instantly became a swarm of headless flies in disarray. They all clamored at me, "Although this topic is rather inappropriate, we are really curious. Jessica, how did your husband pass away?"I glanced at Zander, whose face clearly showed his displeasure. I snorted in my heart. He and I were divorced. Why should I care about his feelings? Moreover, the painful memories he brought me over the past year were like deep scars etched in my heart. How could I forget them easily?Before I could speak, Genevieve stepped in. "He was good to Jess at first, but as soon as the novelty wore off, he cheated immediately. Some women nowadays have no shame, seeing a wealthy man an
Chase Me Again Chapter 74
Jessica's POVAfter I spoke, Genevieve looked at me in surprise. A wry smile crept into my heart. On our way to the restroom, she couldn't stop chattering, "Did you see that annoying look on Zander's face? I really wanted to rush over and punch him hard. This man is even worse than those oranges on the streets of Los Angeles that are thrown away after being squeezed dry!"I let out a helpless chuckle."Jess, are you really planning to stay here and watch him canoodle with Tawny? You still have feelings for him in your heart, and in the end, it's you who will be hurt," Genevieve said with concern."Didn't you say that one day we would let go? Besides, we are divorced now. Can I not allow him to have a new love?" I shrugged and replied."That's true, but that woman is Tawny! How could he not know that she has always wanted to sabotage your relationship, or perhaps they had something going on before?" Genevieve speculated.Before I saw them together, I was certain that Zander wouldn't ha

Jessica's POVThe key phrase "J&Z General Hospital" from Alexander's words struck me like a bolt from the blue. I froze instantly. The classmates around me began discussing fervently."I heard this general hospital project is being prepared by Harrison Group as a gift for his beloved," one said."Mr. Harrison is known for his cold and ruthless demeanor, but it turns out he's such a passionate man at heart. J&Z, the name itself sounds like it's derived from the initials of two people's names," another chipped in."Which Mr. Harrison are they talking about?" someone asked, confused."Are you drunk? How many Harrisons in Los Angeles can afford billions? It's obviously Zander Harrison," came the reply.J&Z, a name I knew all too well. I had once told him about my dream to build a large hospital to help more patients. When Zander planned this, I had no idea, and now it seemed the hospital was meant for someone else.I wasn't sure if he had found a new love so soon, but it was clear it wasn
Chase Me Again Chapter 72
Jessica's POVMy conversation with Genevieve about Johnny ended without any resolution. The lack of evidence left us without a concrete conclusion. Yet, those ambiguous words hung over me like a thin veil, occasionally tugging at my heart and pulling out a thread of doubt when I least expected it.Back in Los Angeles, we resumed our normal lives and work. However, I still didn't return to my apartment. I knew Zander wouldn't wait forever, just as time wouldn't stand still.The impact of the divorce gradually faded, and I no longer wallowed in sadness as I initially did. Instead, I slowly embraced the new rhythm of life.Genevieve was always aware of my emotional shifts. Seeing me in good spirits, she excitedly suggested, "Our class president is organizing a reunion. Let's go together."Genevieve and I attended the same university, both majoring in medicine. I frowned and said, "I never practiced as a doctor for a single day. I always feel out of place at these reunions.""Most of our
Chase Me Again Chapter 71
Jessica's POVSunlight streamed across my face, waking me with a warm flush on my cheeks.I'd dreamt of entwining with Zander all night. Perhaps it was a sign of how long it's been since I've been intimate.Suddenly, I heard soft breathing beside me, and as I moved, aches spread throughout my body.The soreness between my legs told me this wasn't just a dream.Shit! All I could recall was drinking with Genevieve. I had no memory of how I got back. Did I sleep with a stranger after getting drunk? I propped myself up and looked over to see Zander sleeping soundly, his familiar face causing a flurry of panic in my heart.Almost reflexively, I rolled out of bed and quickly grabbed my clothes. Ignoring the aches, I stood up hastily, not even bothering with shoes, and fled the room in a panic.On the drive to work, my mind kept replaying what had just happened, filled with embarrassment and confusion.I was supposed to be drinking with Genevieve. How did Zander show up?As I neared the offi
Chase Me Again Chapter 70
Jessica's POVI had a dream where I returned to my youth.Then, I saw Zander, too.I didn't know why, but the moment I saw him, I wanted him desperately. He seemed to know what I was thinking and strode over, grabbing my shoulders and kissing me fiercely."Zander, no, I mean... okay... oh," I moaned as he moved my underwear aside and began to slowly glide his tongue all around me. "Mm," he groaned, looking up at me. I felt like I was already close. It felt so good that I was.I succumbed to his advances, the warmth and pleasure so real.After the shuddering, I felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had never filled me. I struggled to hold him back as he prepared to leave, and in an instant, I opened my eyes. I found myself lying on a soft, warm bed. The bathroom door was tightly closed, with the sound of water running inside. That familiar, comforting feeling enveloped my mind.Wait, didn't I go drinking with Genevieve? But why did I go drinking?My head spun, unable to think clearly.At
