Sitting in the bar, Chase couldn't stop tapping his feet, anxious to meet Jada soon, and when his friend Josh noticed his uneasiness, he frowned, saying, "Do you have somewhere better to be than with us?"

"Yes. With my fiancee, actually." Chase let out, reaching for his glass.

"Ouch," Theo laughed, but Josh's eyes darkened in annoyance.

Then a teasing smile twisted on his lips, and he said, "Have you heard the saying, 'Bros before ho-"

"End that statement, and I will cripple you," Chase mumbled, resting the glass on his lips.

Chase's response left Theo laughing even harder while Josh held up his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright," he chuckled. "No need to get violent. I get it, man. Fiancée first, friends second."

The music in the bar continued to echo through the dimly lit room, filling the air with a pulsating energy. It mingled with the clinking of glasses, the murmurs of conversations, and the occasional burst of laughter, creating a symphony of sounds that served as t

    As Ben drove away from her grandfather's grand mansion, Jada couldn't help but smile, lowering the windshield. The fact that she had just convinced him to let her take charge of AD's group, one of the most prestigious companies of their family's empire before Andrew ruled and destroyed it, had her giggling to herself. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape as Ben sped down the winding road. The wind whipped through her hair, and she couldn't shake the exhilarating feeling that coursed through her veins. For so long, she had been working tirelessly to prove herself to her family, and finally, she had a chance to make her mark plus get her revenge. As Ben approached the fence, the sprawling mansion, a sense of anticipation settled over her. She couldn't wait to share the good news with him. After Ben pulled into the driveway of Chase's villa, Jada rushed out of the car, entered the mansion, and made her way through the opulent foyer. When Jada e

    The morning sun lazily crept through the curtains, painting a warm, golden glow across the room. Jada had left for work early, and Jacob knocked lightly on Chase's bedroom door, then pushed it open. The room was empty, and just as Jacob was about to turn away, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. For a while, he leaned against the doorframe, patiently waiting for Chase to come out. Moments later, the bathroom door creaked open, and Chase stumbled out, his hair wet, a towel around his waist, and a deep frown etched on his face. "Morning, master." Jacob greeted him cautiously. Walking over to his bed, Chase groaned and pressed his hand to his forehead. "Ugh, morning. I think I might have overdone it last night." Remembering how he and Jada were yesterday, Jacob tried not to think about what happened in this room last night and then shook his head, clearing his throat. "Are you okay?" He finally asked, his concern overriding his initial reluctance. With a

    The lobby of the ADs Group skyscraper had fallen into a tense silence after Maria's dramatic quarrel with Jada. The employees, who had been buzzing with gossip, watched with wide-eyed curiosity as Maria stood there, her eyes welling up with tears. Seeing the dull look in her cousin's eyes, Maria took a deep breath, her voice trembling as she addressed the crowd of onlookers. "Please, everyone, I just want what's fair. My father, Andrew Hudson, dedicated his life to this company. He built it from the ground up. And now, because of Jada's ruthless decisions, he's been cast aside like he means nothing." Her suppressed rage made her plea sound heartfelt, and her tears seemed genuine. She had a way of garnering sympathy, and some employees began to murmur amongst themselves, uncertain where their loyalties should lie, especially since she was rude to them when Andrew had ruled the company. Despite the mumblings, Jada's expression remained unreadable, knowing that her cousin's plea could

    The room was bathed in the soft glow of the antique chandelier that hung from the ceiling, and Maria sat on the plush velvet chair, her fingers clenched so tightly, and her hazel eyes blazed with intensity. She could hear the faint murmur of Lucy's voice as her mother discussed their situation. Still, her mind was elsewhere, consumed by a storm of anger and humiliation. 'In front of the entire ADs group, you, Jada, had commanded me to kneel... kneel down, like a common servant, in front of those who had once worked under my family and I. Bitch, if I don't repay you tenfold, then I am unworthy of my father blood that runs through my veins.' Maria thought, fueled by the burning hatred inside her. After the sixth call, Lucy's voice broke through Maria's thoughts. "Are you even listening to me?!!" With a frown, Maria turned her gaze to her mother, her anger still smoldering beneath the surface. "Yes, Mother, I'm listening," she replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. A sigh left L

    The early morning sun cast long shadows across the grand entrance of the Hudson mansion as Andrew Hudson arrived, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. He had hardly slept the previous night, his mind consumed by the humiliation his beloved daughter, Maria, had endured at the hands of Jada. The incident at AD's company had shaken him to the core, and he was determined to address it. As Andrew climbed the marble steps and approached the massive oak doors, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of anger that his plans were falling apart and Jada had become a torn in his flesh that he could not pluck out. "Today, she will learn her place," Andrew mumbled under his breath as he made his way through the twisted corridors of the mansion, past portraits of his brother, haunting him until he reached his father's study. When he pushed the doors open, Mr. Hudson was already seated behind his mahogany desk, engrossed in paperwork. "Father," Andrew greeted, his voice carrying an edge

    Worried that Jada had not rang him back since their call abruptly ended, Chase found himself pacing anxiously in his office at his Enterprise. He couldn't focus on the mountain of paperwork on his desk or the urgent emails awaiting his attention. His thoughts were consumed by Jada and the unsettling way their conversation had ended. The longer the silence stretched, the more his concern grew, gnawing at him like an unrelenting itch. For the longest, Chase's phone lay on his desk, taunting him with its silence. He had already tried calling Jada several times, but each attempt went straight to voicemail. He knew he needed more information, a hint, anything that could ease his worry. With a sigh, Chase picked up his phone and dialed the number he had saved for 'Rolex.' The phone began to ring, and every passing second felt like an eternity. As they watched Jada's back, heading for the elevator, Rob glanced at Rolex, recognizing the worried expression that had settled on his face, and

    Watching their faces, Jada's smile deepened, and she let out a small, humorless laugh. "Oh, Andrew," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "You really think that's going to happen, don't you?" The room fell silent, and all eyes were on Jada. She could feel the tension in the air, and her family's confusion at her response was clear. They had expected her to yield, to give in to their demands, but Jada had other plans. "I won't apologize," Jada continued, her voice steady. "I won't grovel at Maria's feet, and I won't pretend that what I did was wrong. In fact, I stand by my actions." Instantly, Andrew's smirk faded, replaced by a scowl. "You're being stubborn!" he hissed. With a smile, Jada maintained her composure, not flinching at his outburst, and with a hint of amusement in her voice, she replied, "Oh, I see. Kneel, you say?" She paused, allowing the tension in the room to thicken. "It's true," one employee said to another. "She must have sold herself to Mr. Aniston to get

    As Philip and Jada were about to head back to the rest of the family, Jada hugged his arm, stopping him in his tracks. "Uncle Phillip," She began. "We need to talk." Looking away from his father, Phillip stared up, his eyes weary but welcoming. "Jada, my dear, what's on your mind?" For a moment, She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "I have been hearing rumors about your company, about how it's not doing well. Is that true?" A dumbfounded look crossed Phillip's face, but then he lowered his head and sighed, "Yes, Jada, it's true. The company's been struggling nowadays." For a while now, Jada had been researching all of her grandfather's company, so his confession didn't come as a shock to her, but the look of hurt and guilt she saw in his eyes was what got to her. "Why?" Jada asked, her expression gentle but insistent. "What's causing this downfall?" As he eyed Andrew, Phillip hesitated, and then his gaze dropped to his hand, stuffing both in his pocket.

    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
