Chase Me Again Chapter 44
Zander's POVThis morning, I woke up to a restless feeling on the living room sofa, as if I were sitting on a giant cactus.The phone's ringtone put an end to the irritating silence.I controlled the urge to stand up immediately and took a deep breath.Actually, I had anticipated Jessica's reaction to the email.With her stubborn and fiercely independent character, it would have been strange if she had silently accepted it.I expected her to return to the apartment and knock on my door, but she wasn't in Los Angeles.Her evasive and ambiguous responses from yesterday's phone call have been lingering in my mind, leading me to speculate about her whereabouts.I walked over to the table, picked up the phone, and my gaze inadvertently swept across the mirror beside it.In the reflection, I saw myself wearing the suit that Jessica had carefully chosen for me the last time.It was a custom-made navy blue suit with a slim fit that accentuated my figure, highlighting an air of efficiency and

Jessica's POVHearing Zander's words, my heart was filled with disappointment.Abruptly, I stood up and slapped him hard across the face.The sharp sound immediately drew the attention of everyone in the café.Zander's face turned slightly to one side, his cheek flushed red.His mouth was tightly shut, and his eyes cast down, making it impossible for me to discern his expression.I stepped forward, intending to grab his collar and demand an explanation for his actions.Suddenly, the door opened.A figure rushed to our table. Glancing over, I was surprised to see Tawny.She stood firmly in front of Zander, her eyes red and accusing."You can't hurt Zander like this," she said in a voice choked with tears."He's so good, and you just don't deserve him!"Her voice only added to my already chaotic emotions.The incident where she framed me was still fresh in my mind, and I had no patience left for such a scheming and unscrupulous woman.I frowned and coldly said, "This is between Zander a

Jessica's POVNed took the file from my hands, his movements brisk and without any unnecessary questions.His eyes swiftly scanned the contents before he spoke in a steady voice, "Mallory is a small-time thug from the Green block, a place notorious for its chaos and the gathering of all sorts of unsavory characters."Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows slightly, a ripple of surprise stirring within me.My father, being the head of the Mafia family, it was inconceivable that such a low-level thug would dare to cause us trouble.Ned, noticing my silence, continued, "He has no proper job, mainly making a living through gambling and petty theft, idling away his days on the streets, chatting and drinking with dubious company."After listening, my brows furrowed deeply.Mallory's usual haunts and Johnny's were like parallel lines, with almost no overlap.Their paths should never have crossed, yet here we were, entangled in this mess, with Tawny thrown into the mix.It was hard not to be susp

Jessica's POVI gave Emmett a look, and he immediately understood.He stepped forward, grabbed Mallory's hand, and with a forceful twist, there was a crack, and Mallory's finger was broken.He rolled on the ground in agony, crying out like a wounded beast, "Ah! It hurts! I'll talk, I'll talk! I know the woman in the photo!""Should have said so earlier," Ned said darkly beside me. "Tell us how you met and what she wanted from you.""I, I..." Mallory held his hand, sweating from the pain.He took a deep breath and said, "She found me at the bar, the one called 'Corner of Chaos.' There was a customer who broke a glass, and I was politely asking for compensation when Tawny came over and paid for the customer. I saw she was generous, so I bought her a drink. Later, she approached me and asked me to beat someone up..."Polite? I was skeptical of Mallory's version of events.Clearly, he was extorting people when Tawny found him.However, Johnny was a retired mercenary.Even in his old age,

Jessica's POVI was well aware that since our last argument at the café, Zander had not returned to the apartment where I lived.However, to be cautious and prevent any unnecessary trouble from my father's men accidentally encountering Zander, I decided to temporarily use a room at the private club as a temporary meeting room for arranging Ned and the others' work.The next day, I arrived at the private club.The moment I pushed the door open, the burly figures of Emmett and Karl immediately came into view. They had already been standing there with upright postures, waiting.Emmett had his hands crossed over his chest, his muscular arms seemingly about to burst through his shirt.He slightly tilted his head, his eyes filled with a cold and focused gaze.Karl stood like a towering pine, his expression as stern as a statue.I felt a bit helpless. Out of the subordinates my father assigned to me, only Ned seemed to have some human emotions, while Emmett and Karl seemed like robots."Miss

Jessica's POVJohnny let out a soft sigh and said, "It's an old problem. Not just me, but all my comrades suffer from it. Sometimes when we close our eyes, we see our fallen brothers, the war scenes replaying in our minds, making it impossible to sleep.""I can arrange for a psychiatrist to treat you. It might help," I offered."But I don't want to forget them. It's fine to live with their memories," he replied.Knowing his temperament, I didn't press the matter further.I thought for a moment, then asked, "By the way, I heard Zander call you that day?"Hearing this, Johnny paused, a complex expression fleeting across his face. "He said he was looking for you, and then...""And? What else did he say?" I probed.Johnny's face showed confusion and unease as he continued, "Then he said something very strange. He asked me, 'Can you live in peace like this?' I demanded to know what he meant, but he wouldn't say."I was filled with doubts. Why would Zander say such a thing?What secret coul

Zander's POVThe three days passed quickly, and the date of the business dinner arrived quietly.I wasn't in the mood at all, but after receiving Dwayne's reminder through the intercom, I still walked towards the wardrobe.My gaze fell involuntarily on the suit that Jessica had bought for me. The deep navy blue seemed to hold our past moments.I slowly put on the suit and straightened the collar in front of the mirror.Then, there was a knock on the office door, and I responded.Dwayne walked in, and I noticed he was wearing a suit in the same color family as mine, a slightly dull blue-gray that matched my navy suit in hue.I couldn't help but frown, feeling inexplicably displeased."Go change your suit," I said calmly, "Get a black one."Dwayne was taken aback, seemingly puzzled, but he just scratched his head and went out to change his clothes.Shortly after, Dwayne returned in a new suit.We headed downstairs together, with Dwayne driving to the Beverly Hills Hotel's banquet hall,

Zander's POVThe surrounding guests halted their steps, gathering around and murmuring."What's going on? Why did this person suddenly appear?""Who knows? It seems like trouble that woman has brought upon herself.""Shh, she appears to be Mr. Harrison's date."I frowned and gave Dwayne a subtle signal. Understanding my intent, he quickly left the scene.Turning back, I stared intently at Tawny.Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes filled with not only fear but also deep panic.Mallory's words were incoherent, but they reminded me of the recent argument Jessica and I had.He mentioned assaulting an old man.Could it be Johnny?However, the one thing that puzzled me was that Tawny didn't know Johnny, nor did she have any apparent reason to target Johnny.I questioned Tawny, "What is your relationship with this man?"Tawny's gaze evaded mine, unable to meet my eyes directly.She stammered, "Zander, I really don't know him. I've never seen this person before. He must have mistaken me

Genevieve's POVSunlight streamed through the restaurant windows, casting mottled patches of light and shadow on us. "How about it? Not bad, huh? I checked other people's reviews on Facebook to choose this restaurant," I said triumphantly."Mm, not bad," Jessica glanced around and casually remarked.I sensed that something was off with Jessica. I looked at her curiously and asked, "Jess, what's wrong? You seem distracted today."She just lightly pursed her lips, silent, those closed lips like a tightly shut city gate, locking her thoughts securely inside.I couldn't let her off the hook so easily, so I nudged her arm. "What's going on? I'm worried about you."She lifted her head, looked at me, and then said, "Haven't you seen today's entertainment news?"I quickly took out my phone from my bag, eager to open Twitter, my fingers swiftly scrolling on the screen. Soon, the trending topic about Harrison Group's chairman, Zander, allegedly having a new lover caught my eye.My eyes widened
Chase Me Again Chapter 79
Zander's POVA strange panic gripped me as my intense kisses ignited a desire within me. I longed for Jessica, yearned to possess her. Unlike the last time, this time my heart was filled with a desire to destroy. The strange tingling sensation gripped my body once again as I began to get rougher. The soft, gentle kisses turned hard and rough. Warmth spread through me as I pressed my chest against hers. The thundering heartbeats set a new life in me."Wait," a small, breathless whisper escaped her lips as she tried to stop me, but there was no going back now. I pulled away for a moment and then stared down at her bare breasts exposed under my wicked grasp. "I said, you can only be mine," I said as I wrapped a hand around her throat and pushed her against the headboard on the sheets. A loud scream escaped from her lips as my tongue dipped between her legs. Clearly, the sudden excitement and pleasure almost sent her over the edge. Her hips thrusted in a steady rhythm against my mouth. I
Chase Me Again Chapter 78
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,

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

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
