Falling for the rejected son-in-law 108. Us against the world
When Chase met Jada and saw the way she was looking at him, his heart gave another lurch. The last time he had seen her look at him like that was when she was pissed at him because of the entire Xander incident, and he gave a slight smile to ease the tension, but she rolled her eyes and ignored him, choosing instead to glare at Melissa. "I just want you to understand, Chase," Melissa said, her voice quivering. "I have been the one by your side all these years. Jada is an outsider, and I fear she's trying to tear us apart." As she finished speaking, she paused to wipe away some tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. When they were gone, she continued, her voice wavering. "Please, Chase. Just help me speak to her... to stop spreading lies about my family." A scoff left his lip as he met Melissa's eyes and said, "Ain't you the selfish one." Shocked, Melissa's lips parted as she stared at him incredulously. In less than a second, however, the shock melted away. The rage returned

Silently, Jada lay in bed, her gaze fixed on the ceiling as she tried to make sense of the memories. It was as if a long-lost part of her past had suddenly been thrust into the forefront of her consciousness, and she couldn't escape the vivid emotions that came with it. Her thoughts had been tangled in a web of uncertainty, weaving in and out of her mind like elusive shadows. Each passing moment only served to heighten her unease, leaving her heart heavy and her thoughts muddled. Sighing, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat up, headed to the closet. Minutes later, Jada dressed in a simple yet elegant coat suit, her nimble fingers fastening the buttons and tucking stray strands of her hair behind her ear. The mirror reflected a visage of conflicted emotions on her face, a faint frown tugging at the corners of her lips, her eyes, usually vibrant and filled with a spark of life, now clouded with a hint of sadness. As Jada walked down the staircase, her eyes trailed

As the night wore on, the guests of the grand ballroom at the hotel continued to bask in the glory of the splendid event unfolding before their eyes. The grand hall was a sight to behold, captivating the senses with its beauty and elegance. At the center of the hall stood a massive crystal chandelier, its dazzling beauty only serving to amplify the grandeur of the night. While the night wore on, the guests began to move about the room, mingling and chatting amongst themselves. The sound of laughter and conversation filled the air, adding to the already lively ambiance of the event. Clad in an elegant gown, Melissa gracefully traversed the room by Madam Aniston's side. As they made their way through the crowd, Melissa couldn't help but notice the hesitant glances and lingering stares that followed her every move. A distinguished guest, Sir Henry, leaned in and spoke in hushed tones when they stopped at him, hesitating at the look in Madam Hudson's eyes, and his condescending

Anger swirled like a tempest within Madam Aniston as Chase's words slowly settled in her heart, heavy with tension. Her elegant gown rustled as she took a step closer to Chase, her lips forming a tight, thin line. "Boy, you can't possibly understand what you're doing. You are jeopardizing everything your grandfather and his ancestors have worked for. Everything this family has worked for." "Grandmother, it's my decision. This company is my inheritance, and I believe in Jada's ability to lead it." Chase said, taking a step in front of Jada. Those words made Madam Aniston's icy stare bore into her grandson, and she lashed out, "Jada is untested, and you hand her the reins without a second thought?" Standing beside Chase, Jada fought to maintain her composure. Her fingers subtly gripped the edge of her elegant evening gown, a bunch of emotions swirling through her like an untamed storm, and she longed to speak up, to prove herself. But Madam Aniston's reputation as an indomitable m

Suddenly, a chuckle left Jada's lips. She laughed so hard that she started crying, and the guest grew even more confused and worried by her reaction. "Tell me. How did Maria die, Andrew, huh?!" Jada spat, her face twisted with anger. When he grew nervous, her brow furrowed as her glare met his eyes, and then she said, "Since it seems like you don't know what you are talking about... I will tell you. Maria died in the explosion that took place at Lennon Haven. Now, are you accusing me because I was there too that same day? Huh, Andrew?!" Darting his gaze about, Andrew tried to appear brave, but inside he was panicking. He knew he should have kept quiet, but hearing about how big Jada was getting while he wallowed in the mud made him angry, and it was taking all his willpower to restrain himself from striking her. "You know, because of everything going on in my own life and how I almost lost my life twice, my man was almost crippled, and my trusted bodyguard almost lost his life, I

As Jada made her way down the stairs, the soft padding of her fluffy slippers echoed through the otherwise silent house. Her thoughts swirled around in her mind, still reeling from the events of the previous night. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled deep within her chest. Despite the anxiousness that weighed heavily on her heart, Jada couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope as she thought about Chase. She was slowly beginning to open up to him, allowing him to see a side of her that she had kept hidden away for far too long. But as she thought about the way he had acted last night, her hope began to dwindle. She remembered how he had come back to their bedroom and said nothing, simply wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. At the time, it had felt comforting, but now it only served to add to her growing sense of stress. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Jada took a deep breath and tried to push her worries to the back of her mind, promisi

Frowning, Jada's grip tightened around Melissa's wrist, preventing her from landing a slap again, and she fought against her hold. Her eyes blazed with anger and disappointment as she stared down at her. The entire lobby seemed to hold its breath, the air thick with tension. Melissa's eyes were wide, and her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment and anger. She was struggling to break free, but Jada's grip was ironclad, and she knew she wouldn't win the fight. "What is even your business in this matter, huh?! Let go of me, you bitch!" Melissa spat. "How dare you touch me? You have no right!" With a sigh, Jada's expression hardened, and she leaned in closer to Melissa, her voice low and dangerous. "This is not the way to settle a dispute. As Octane's CEO and your boss, whatever happens, should get brought to me and not resolved with violence ." Then she paused and narrowed her eyes menacingly at Melissa, tossing her hand aside as she said, "So let's get this sorted once and for al

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Jada turned her attention back to the client. The air in the room grew heavy with tension as she watched his gaze with confidence. "Mr. Granger," she began. "I'm afraid I must criticize the audacity of this proposal. Did you truly believe that I, as the owner of Octane X Corporation, would consider such an inadequate offer? Do you think so little of me? Is this how poorly you think of Chase Aniston and the entire Aniston family?..." "I...I didn't mean to offend you," he stammered, his eyes flickering nervously to Tony, and then he scowled at Melissa. Narrowing her eyes, Jada continued, her voice rising with conviction. "Your proposal not only lacks imagination, it lacks integrity. We are a company that prides itself on innovation and sustainability. Your plan does not align with our values or our mission statement." Then she leaned forward, her eyes burning with intensity, saying, "We will not compromise our ethics for the sake of profit. O

Falling for the rejected son-in-law The wedding
The morning sun danced through the lace curtains, casting a warm glow across the spacious room. Beaming, Jada stood in front of the grand mirror, her reflection a vision of ethereal beauty. The ivory gown hugged her slender frame, cascading down in layers of delicate lace and silk. A symphony of beaded embellishments adorned the bodice, shimmering like stardust on a moonlit night. As she admired her reflection, her heart swelled with excitement and anticipation. The room buzzed with the sound of laughter and joy as Sarah, Katherine, and Ivy, gathered around her. Their faces were aglow with love and pride, mirroring Jada's own emotions. With gentle hands, they carefully fastened the buttons on her gown, each intricate detail an homage to the love she shared with Chase. Suddenly, Sarah wiped away a stray tear that escaped the corner of her eye. "Oh, Jada, you look positively radiant. Chase is one lucky man to have you." "Indeed, my dear. Your love story is one for the ages. It warm
Falling for the rejected son-in-law Epilogue
One Year Later The screeching tires echoed through the deserted parking lot as Ben expertly maneuvered the black car to a smooth stop. A symphony of engines ceased their purring, one after another, as the sixteen vehicles following in his wake mirrored his actions. For a while, Jacob, his sharp eyes never leaving the screen of his phone, got down with the other, and then he finally glanced up from the glow of the device. His commanding voice cut through the stillness. "Master Chase and Lady Jada are coming outside with young master," Men clad in impeccably tailored black suits emerged from the shadows, their presence commanding attention. They fanned out around the car, forming a protective circle, a formidable wall of security. Each man radiated an aura of strength, their eyes scanning the surroundings with a practiced vigilance. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the airport in a hazy twilight. The flickering glow of the streetlights above bathed the scene in an othe
Falling for the rejected son-in-law 127. Why would the police come to us
A look of fear crossed Jada's face, her voice quivered, and her eyes darted anxiously around the room as she cried, "The police... Why would the police come to us?" "Don't worry, rest yourself, and this will all be over," Chase said, stroking her cheeks to calm the stress that itched on her face. As he was about to leave the bed, Jada grabbed his hand, her grip tight and desperate. She looked up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes and said, "I want to come with you." "No, stay," Chase said, gently but firmly. "I am not some dog!" "Babe, you know that's not what I mean," "Stress is not good for our baby," "That's why I don't want you to come," "If I stay back, I am going to die from anxiety." Silence settled between them, the weight of their emotions intensifying in the dimly lit room, and Chase brushed his palm over his face and mumbled in his head, 'This is either going to break us up... or you love me beyond what I can ever imagine.' Then he nodded at her, a tiny smile

Panicking, Melissa sat in the private room of Greenland Restaurant, staring at Chase's message on her screen, "Meet me there by 12." But it was 12:30 and he had not shown up yet. With a scowl, she glanced at the empty glass, knowing that the bottle was also empty. Suddenly, the door opened, and in walked Chase. His eyes met hers and the was this coldness that flashed across them. "What is it?" Melissa asked worriedly as he sat down next to her on the table and put his arms behind his head, letting out a yawn. "You killed Maria, didn't you." Chase's eyes flashed dangerously in amusement, as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips, despite the anger seething within his chest. "You bought Lennon Haven, set a trap with Maria helps to kill Jada, and when your plans were falling apart, you left Maria in that building and triggered the bomb, blasting the building and killing her inside. Truth or truth?" Chase asked as a cruel smile played upon his face. "Who told you those lies?" sh

The sound of water dripping echoed in Leon's ears, reverberating through the dimly lit room. He sat in a chair, his wrists tightly bound behind the backrest, feeling the cold metal dig into his skin. The chill in the air seemed to seep into his bones, adding to the discomfort that already plagued him. As his head throbbed with pain, he struggled to make sense of his surroundings. The air smelled musty, like a forgotten cellar left untouched for years. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps grew louder, resonating in his ears and sending a shiver down his spine. The dread of the unknown gripped him, his heart pounding in his chest. And then, in one swift motion, the blindfold was yanked from his face. His eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, and fear washed over him as he found himself staring into Chase's cold, unyielding eyes. The look of rage etched on Chase's face was raw, causing a lump to form in Leon's throat. Before he could utter a single word, Chase's fist slammed into his nose w
Falling for the rejected son-in-law 124. An immortal
As Chase's eyes bore into Derry Lennon's trembling form, the weight of his threat hanging heavily in the room, the CEO's face drained of color as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation he found himself in. Sweat glistened on his forehead, a testament to the fear that coursed through his veins. With wild eyes, Derry's voice quivered as he stammered, "Two... two weeks? But... but I... I don't deserve this! I didn't know what Melissa was planning! I never wanted any harm to come to Jada!" Glaring down at him, Chase's expression remained cold, his voice devoid of empathy. "Your involvement, whether intentional or not, led to an attempt on Jada's life. I could easily have your blood spilled on this very floor, but I'm showing you mercy. Two weeks, Derry. Two weeks to turn yourself in and face the consequences." The feeling of Chase's men's eyes on him made Derry's hands clenched into fists as he struggled to find his voice. "I... I can't just... I have a family, a reput
Falling for the rejected son-in-law 123. A mafia boss
When Jada walked into their bedroom, she froze at the sight of Chase taking off his shirt, and the deep scar on his back made tears well up in her eyes. The scars from the burn on his back made her heart hurt, and she took steps toward him, stopping. Then her fingers rested on his skin. When Chase felt her touch, he closed his eyes, leaning into Jada’s hand on his back, and mumbled, "It has healed nicely, hasn't it?" "Our baby is so lucky to have a dad like you," Jada whispered, tracing the scars on his skin with delicate fingers. "You're such a good man." She mumbled, kissing his back, and Chase turned around, smiling down at her. Then he squatted, resting his palm on Jada's stomach, whispering, "Hey, bubby... Are you enjoying yourself in there?" "I can't believe Peanut is five weeks now." She pouted. "Peanut?" "Did you see the Ultrasound? Our baby was so small." A laugh left Chase's mouth as he kissed Jada's temple, saying, "Peanut if only five weeks, my love... and don't
Falling for the rejected son-in-law 122. His blood will not be on my hands
Meeting his eyes, Jada hesitated, the weight of her past pressing down on her as she contemplated sharing the most intimate details of her childhood with Chase. But she knew that he deserved to understand her perspective, so she began to speak, her voice soft and filled with emotions. "Growing up, my world was a bit of a paradox. On the one hand, I had the privilege of being raised in a wealthy and influential family, but on the other hand, I felt a sense of isolation and detachment from it all. My parents, especially my father, were deeply immersed in the world of business. The HH Corporation was everything to him, and he had little time or inclination to be a father. I think he believed that providing for me financially was enough." Calmly, Jada approached the bed, sitting by him, and took his hand in hers, staring down at the floor. Then she squeezed his hand and said, "I was closest to Maria the most. She was older than me, and I looked up to her like a big sister. Maria was t
