With a crazed look in his eyes, Leon lunged at Chase, his fists clenched tightly. The atmosphere in the penthouse office turned tense as Jada watched, her heart pounding in her chest.

Watching Leon fold his fists as he approached, Chase remained calm, his eyes narrowing. In one fluid motion, he stepped back, dodging Leon's hand as his fist passed his face by an inch. Before Leon could follow up with another hit, Chase launched a right hook that caught Leon in the jaw.

Blood spurted from Leon's mouth as he stumbled backward, landing on his ass. He spit out a toothpick and wiped a small amount of blood from the corner of his mouth before glaring up at Chase.

Rage burned in Leon's eyes. With a snarl and another burst of energy, he leaped to his feet, hands balled into tight fists.

Not hesitating, he rushed forward once again, swinging wildly. But Chase wasn't fazed. In a blink, Chase was behind Leon, catching his arms around Leon's neck and dragging him toward the desk.

    After sitting on the ground for a long time, Leon slowly rose to his feet, his body aching from the intense confrontation that had just unfolded. Blood trickled from his nose, staining his shirt as he reached into his pocket and retrieved his phone, his trembling fingers struggling to dial a number. "Did you see Chase's car leave?" Leon asked, a sinister undertone lacing each word. The male voice on the other end of the call hesitated for a moment before responding, "Not too long ago. Their car seemed to be heading towards Opt Street. Is something wrong, boss?... What happened in there?"" For a moment, Leon held his tongue, thinking things through. Then he smirked despite the agony in his battered body. "A little disagreement," he replied. "Listen carefully. I need you and the others. We have a job to do." The male voice on the other end, filled with dread, inquired, "What kind of job?... The men are already with me..." A smirk formed on Leon's lips, a twisted satisfaction co

    As Chase stood before all ten men, their sinister presence filling the narrow alleyway, Chase's knuckles tightened into fists. The raw anger surged through his veins, sending a ripple of adrenaline coursing through his body. His jaw clenched, and his eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. The flickering streetlights cast eerie shadows on his face, highlighting the rage etched across his features. Each man exuded an aura of danger and ruthlessness, their scars and tattoos speaking volumes about their violent pasts. From Chase's previous lifestyle, he knew that these were not ordinary criminals. They were hardened, seasoned, and desperate. But he was not one to back down easily, especially when it came to protecting the woman he loved. A twisted smile curled across the face of the man who had spoken earlier, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "We see you have come to your senses," he sneered, his voice dripping with arrogance. The others joined in, their chorus of l

    Frustrated that Chase was becoming a nuisance to the plan, three men attacked, rushing to him from each side. But Chase dodged the first attacker and managed to punch him, forcing him backward into the other men. He then twisted, slapping another dude's blow away from him. But the second fella managed to grab Chase around the throat, choking him. With a struggle, Chase kicked his leg out, connecting with the man's groin. Then he slammed the stone into his nose, shattering it before going for the other guy, swinging the rock for his head, knocking the daylight out of him. One of the attackers swung at Chase's arm, missing entirely. But his second punch landed next to Chase's ear, the sound ringing loudly in his eardrum. But before he could strike again, Chase used the rock to bash into the back of his head, rendering him unconscious. The other two attackers pounced on Chase, their heavy steps crushing the gravel under their feet. As Chase struggled to throw them off, the one hold

    Standing in the doorway, a frown crossed Jacob's face as he lashed out at Jada. "He just healed, and you dare to stress his body like this?" His voice was concerned and frustrated as he stepped closer, his eyes piercing hers. "Shut up, and get out," Chase's voice cut through the tension in the room, his eyes narrowing as he glared at his assistant. Silence settled between Jacob and Chase, the tension thick in the air as their eyes locked, and Jacob's clenched fist trembled, his anger evident in his tightened jaw and furrowed brow. "But master, Dr. Asher said that you got hurt pretty badly-" Jacob began, his voice filled with worry. One look from Chase interrupted him as his words cut through the atmosphere with authority. "I heard what Asher said, so there's no need to relay it. I appreciate your concern for me, but watch your tone and words the next time you speak to her. Got it?" Looking away from him, Jacob's eyes widened in surprise at Chase's firmness, his gaze flickering b

    The moment Emily ended the call with Leon, she was in the process of dialing the numbers to reschedule the crucial board meeting when she noticed a figure she knew all too well approaching her. Her grip on the phone tightened, and she glanced at the screen, her fingers hovering over the call button, momentarily hesitant. "Mr. Clark," she greeted him with a forced smile, trying to conceal her unease. "Good afternoon, Mr. Clark. What brings you here?" When he reached her desk, Mr. Clark's sharp gaze bore into Emily's eyes, his expression unreadable. He wasted no time in cutting to the chase, "Emily, I have heard rumors circulating that Jada has returned to the office. Is it true?" Remembering Leon's warnings, Emily's heart skipped a beat, and her voice wavered slightly as she replied, "Well, I'm not sure, Mr. Clark. I have been quite occupied with some other matters, and I think it would be best if you got your information from someone else. I have a lot of work to do..." But Mr. Cla

    The longer Jada lay in Chase's arms, the more her body stiffened, as if a taut wire had been pulled tight within her. Her muscles tensed, betraying her unease, and Chase couldn't help but notice the slight change. He shifted his gaze downward, meeting her fluttering lashes with concern etched across his features. "Can you relax?" Chase said, his voice laced with gentle humor, attempting to break the thick tension that had settled between them. His attempt at silliness was met with widened eyes from Jada, her pupils dilating like a startled deer caught in the piercing gaze of a predator. Every fiber of her being screamed for her to flee, to escape the unfamiliar territory of vulnerability that Chase had unknowingly ushered her into because it was giving her feelings that she didn't know if he was in the position for. As if sensing her internal struggle, Chase's grip on her tightened ever so slightly. A fleeting smile tugged at the corners of his lips as she whispered, "Ain't you

    Even though Jada frowned, she didn't want to argue with Chase. So she took his hand, intertwining their fingers, and they left the room together. When they finally reached the vast yard, Chase commanded the guard standing by the gate, "Open up." The gate automatically pulled open, revealing a man standing on the other side, and then he hurried inside. He appeared nervous, his hands fidgeting as he anxiously glanced at Jada. Sensing his unease, Jada stepped back slightly, seeking solace behind Chase's protective stance. "Who are you?" Jada asked, her eyes tinged with both caution and curiosity. The man glared at the bodyguard and then took a deep breath, gathering his composure. "I am Mr. Clark," he replied, his voice laced with respect and sadness. "I was your late father's trusted advisor, and yours... at least, before the incident." With a side-eye at Chase, Jada's brows furrowed, and she mumbled, "Before the incident?"

    That morning, as Jada gracefully moved around the kitchen, her nimble fingers danced across the cutting board, skillfully chopping vegetables with precision. The tantalizing aroma of herbs and spices filled the air, mingling with the soft melody of sizzling pans. The maids, her eyes wide with awe, observed Jada's every move, captivated by how quickly she had learned. Then the maids caught Chase's figure from the corner of their eyes, and they were about to greet him, but he put his fingers to his mouth, nudging his head for them to leave him alone. They immediately understood his warning and left the kitchen in haste, beaming at each other, silently gossiping with their eyes. So deep into her cooking, Jada didn't notice the empty kitchen, and she jumped, screaming when Chase wrapped his arms around her waist. As Chase's arms tightened around her, Jada's heart raced, his touch sending a flurry of butterflies fluttering in her stomach. She turned around, her eyes meeting his, an

    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...

    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
