Falling for the rejected son-in-law 54. Have you gone crazy
Resting her head back, Jada closed her eyes as Ben drove her, and for the longest, she just wallowed in her head. 'I miss him.' An abrupt thought snapped her out of her mood, and Jada raised her eyelids. Then she reached for her phone, scrolling through her contacts, and stopped at Chase's number. A smile crept on her lips as she dialed it, but after three separate calls, he didn't answer, he didn't pick up, and Jada felt her heart drop a little. Hesitantly, she looked at her driver and waited a few minutes before asking, "Ben, do you know when Chase will be leaving work today?" "Well, if the boss doesn't have any extra plans, he should be home by now," Ben said, eyeing her in the V-mirror. "Then can you please take me home?" "Huh?… Yes, of course." Darting her eyes to her screen, Jada hesitated to dial his number again, and then she tossed her phone on the passenger seat, resting her head against her hands as she stared outside at the passing scenery. Minutes later, the car

Stepping her feet on the cold tiles, Jada woke from the bed and approached the window, wrapping her arms around Chase's waist as she kissed his back, whispering, "Good morning," With a smile, he turned to face her, resting his hands on her hips, and pulled her to him, a chuckle escaping her lips as he said, "Morning, beautiful." After taking her warmth in, he asked, "About Stark, do you want me to talk to him?" With a beam, Jada looked up at him, watching the tenderness in his gaze, and then answered, "Yes. But I want us to do it together, okay? I will ask Gifty to set up a meeting with him, and then we can go from there." Nodding slightly, Chase pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead and replied, "All right, babe. If you think that's best, we can do that." The rest of the morning was perfect, but as Jada was leaving the house for work, she got to the car, and then her phone started ringing. Seeing Leon's name, she felt her mood ruined as a sense of rage spiked in her. Just then,

Sitting behind his desk, Mr. Stark's phone rang, and he smiled at the caller ID as it displayed his secretary's name. "What is it?" He answered, leaning back in his chair, eyes closing for a moment. "Mr. Aniston is here to see you." Her voice came across the line, and she sounded stressed. Instantly, Mr. Stark's eyes popped open and he sat up straight, his expression becoming serious at her words. "Let him come in!" He said immediately. "Make some tea and cookies for him. " "Yes, boss!" She said before hanging up on him. Moments later, the doors opened, and Chase walked in with Jacob, and a look of fear crossed Mr. Stark's face. Immediately, he stood from his chair, walking briskly to meet them and giving an awkward smile when they stopped before him. His heart was beating fast, his breathing quickened, and he felt like he might pass out as he said, "Mr. Aniston, welcome to my office. Please have a seat. Can I get you anything to drink? Tea, perhaps?" He gestured towards

As Chase stepped into the parking lot, he reached for his phone and dialed Rob's number. A sense of uneasiness nagged at him as he waited for Rob to pick up. "Rob," he said as soon as the call was answered, "Is Jada at work yet?" There was a brief pause before Rob's response came, and it was not what Chase had expected. "No, boss. No one has seen her since you left the house this morning. She hasn't left the mansion, and she's refusing to let anyone into her room." Without wasting another moment, he got into the back seat of his vehicle and instructed his driver, "Take me straight home." ~~~~~~*~~~~~ Back at the mansion, Jada lay in her bed, the room shrouded in darkness as she tried to escape her turbulent thoughts. She had been unable to leave her bed, unable to face the world outside, and her weariness had pulled her into a restless slumber. As she slept, her dreams twisted into a chaotic and unsettling landscape. Flashes of their heated argument with Chase and the emotional

As Jada tried to recall what she had said earlier, her expression shifted from confusion to frustration. She furrowed her brow and attempted to access the elusive memory, but as she delved deeper into her thoughts, a sharp pain shot through her head, and she winced, clutching her temples. "Chase," she whispered, her voice strained, "I can't remember. It's like trying to grasp at a foggy dream, and it's making my head hurt." For a silent moment, Chase's concern deepened as he watched Jada in discomfort. Then he gently brushed her hair away from her face and tried to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, babe. Don't force yourself to remember. It's not important right now." But Jada was not satisfied. The frustration of not being able to recall the words she had spoken earlier gnawed at her. She sat up and looked at Chase with determination, saying "No, I need to know. I said something, and it meant a lot to me. I have to remember." As she closed her eyes and concentrated, the throbbing

As Mr. Bull left Mr. Stark's office with the freshly drafted lawsuit in hand, he knew he had a challenging task ahead. His next destination was Andrew Hudson's mansion, and a sense of frustration nagged at his heart as he started his car. A while later, he reached the mansion, and its wrought-iron gates swung open with precision as Mr. Bull's car approached, granting him entry into the yard. Minutes later, he pulled up to the grand entrance, where a uniformed butler awaited him. "Good afternoon, sir. May I inquire about your purpose here today?" James said. Raising the file, Mr. Bull gave a stiff smile and responded, "Good afternoon. I'm here to see Mr. Andrew Hudson. I have some legal matters to discuss with him." The butler nodded politely and said, "Of course, sir. Please follow me, and I'll take you to him." After some minutes passed, they finally arrived at a spacious living room, and Mr. Bull was met with the sight of Andrew Aniston seated on a plush armchair, and Maria s

The morning light shone against the papers as Jada sat at the dining table and looked at the pen. She tugged at Chase's shirt on her, a sense of hesitation, and then she felt his arm wrapped around her neck, kissing her cheek. "He's going to be so pissed," Jada mumbled, looking down at the sign paper. A spark of concern glowed in his eyes as he glowed, and he asked, "Are you getting cold feet? If you are, it's okay to-" "No," Jada said, hugging his arm and looking up at him, a smirk lighting up her face. "I owe this to Grandfather to set our family back to its past glory. No one else wants to do it, so if I have to do it alone and offend them all, so be it." With a grin, Chase leaned in, his nose touching hers, and whispered, "Who said you were alone? You got me." A smile lit up Jada's face, and he kissed her head before letting go and pulling away as she picked up the pen again. Drawing a deep breath, Jada put the pen on the paper and signed the ownership document of ADs' group.

When Andrew's secretary saw him leaving the office, she stood to her feet and said, "Sir, are you going out? Is Mis Hudson allowed to be in your office?" But he stormed past her, and a look of confusion crossed her face as she tried to figure out if she should follow him or confront Jada instead. When the doors to the office opened and the secretary walked in, Jada's calm eyes met her raging ones. Suddenly, the secretary lashed out, "What are you doing in the boss's seat?! How disrespectful? Don't you have any manners, coming in here and sitting where you don't belong?!" "Where I don't belong, you say." Jada laughed, locking her fingers together. "I see where your loyalty lays, and for that, you are fire." Raw shock rippled through the secretary's body as she realized the gravity of Jada's words, and she mumbled, "What are you saying?" "You are looking at your new boss. The owner of ADs group, and as she said, you are fire. Clear your desk, lady." Rolex said, his muscles flexing

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
