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

    Mumbling to herself, Melissa's knuckles turned white as she gripped the steering wheel, the pain from her bruised skin a stark reminder of Jada's fist crashing into her face, and she could feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins, fueling her aggressive driving as she sped towards the mansion. Every turn of the wheel, every press of the gas pedal, brought her closer to madness, her mind consumed with thoughts of revenge. As she approached the iron gates of the Aniston mansion, Melissa's grip tightened even further, and she drove through the automatic gate. With a deafening screech of tires, she skidded to a halt, her car vibrating in response to her frenzied rage. Scoffing, Melissa's gaze fixated on the grand entrance of the mansion, a sprawling edifice that exuded opulence and privilege. With a trembling hand, she grabbed the door handle and stepped out of the car, her legs unsteady beneath her. When she reached the front door, Melissa paused for a moment, her hand tr

    Moans echoed in the bedroom as Chase held Jada down on the bed, her bare skin shining in the low light of the early morning. Her back arched and she cried out in pleasure as he moved between her legs. His hand slipped from under her top to trace a line up her stomach as he kissed her neck. Unable to take the heat, Jada squirmed underneath him and gasped for air as his fingers traced the hem of her shirt. Smirking, he pulled it over her head and leaned down, capturing her lips with his. The moment their tongues touched, he felt heat flood through him as the kiss deepened, her hands gripping his shoulders. A groan left him as she bit his lip, and then another growl escaped him when she nipped hard at his earlobe, causing her to laugh against his mouth. Slightly, Jada lifted herself, pressing her chest against Chase. Her hand drifted lower between them, caressing his erection tentatively. He jerked involuntarily as she rubbed against him, the friction sending shivers up an

    The moment Chase walked through the living room doorway and saw her sitting there, Jada smiled weakly at him and whispered, "You are home." "Babe, what did my grandfather say to you... Huh, Jada..." Chase asked, rushing to her side as he kneeled to meet her height. When Jada didn't answer, Chase grabbed her arms and shook her firmly, "What did he say to you? Tell me..." "The truth," Jada mumbled, not losing the smile, but her tears were already flowing freely. "What truth? Babe, please, speak clearly, okay? And let's talk about it." "Hmm?" As her lips trembled, Jada tried to fight back the sob, but couldn't stop herself from crying as her tears poured uncontrollably out of her eyes. Clutching her chest, Jada choked back her sobs, her whole body quivering with the force of it as she whispered: "I remember it all... My memories. Everything that happened between us in the past, I know it. I have hurt you so much ... So many times, Chase. So why... Why do you still want me? WHY

    As Jada raised her eyelids the next morning, and tears trickled from the corners of her eyes, she wiped them hastily with the heels of her hands, and woke from bed, resting her feet on the cold tiles. For the longest, she just sat there staring into space, and then she burst into tears, falling back on the mattress and curling into a ball, unable to fight back her misery any longer. "It hurts. Why does it hurt so much? I thought I'd get over it. I thought I'd be able to get over it! I was stupid! It's my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have kissed him; I should have never done that!" she cried out between her sobs. "I want to die, I wish I could die. But, here I am, living in hell instead. How pathetic am I?" Suddenly, the was a knock on her door, but Jada felt too exhausted to answer. "Jada, it's Ivy. Your grandfather is here to see you." Her aunty voice came, breaking through the veil of tears that blurred her vision. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, Jada wiped her ch

    A voice came from the corner of the room, causing Jada to startle. Then she looked over to see Tony leaning against the bookshelf, his arms crossed. Her heart ached at the sight of him, and she blinked, surprised to see him, and mumbled, "Oh, Uncle Tony, I didn't realize you were here. I was looking for Chase. Is he around?" Putting the book back, Tony shook his head, his expression somber as he said, "He's in a meeting right now. But he should be done in a little while. You can wait if you want." Hesitating in the doorway, Jada looked back into the hallway and then turned her gaze on him, taking a step further into the room. Minutes later, as she settled into a chair, Tony's gaze bore into her, his eyes sharp and assessing. "What are you trying to do to my nephew, Jada.. huh? You ask me to trust you, and then you go and do this to him?" "I am sorry..." Jada whispered, her heart ached at the mention of Chase's name. "I know. I just... I just didn't know what to do anymore, Uncle

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
