“That’s great, because I need to get drunk before I can say what I need to say to you guys!” Mackenzie exclaimed.“What?” They both asked.And Mackenzie let everything go. She told them everything she had been keeping to herself. About how she had walked straight into the last person she wanted to see in her life. Her kids’ father, Chase Axford.She told them about what happened in the Axford Hotel. Her job offer. The contract. And what had happened after she had found out and tried to terminate the contract.She told them of the debt she now had to pay, if she didn’t take up the job. “That’s why I stopped the kids from going to school.” Mackenzie muttered, throwing a paranoid glance over her shoulder. “Chase is almost everywhere I am, and I can’t risk him finding my kids.”Charlotte noticed the way she kept looking around and placed a hand on her shoulder,“Don’t worry, Kenzie. You can relax here, nobody could recognize us, even if they show up here by chance. And that chance is zer
Felicity had sensed Mackenzie tense up and go silent ever since “West” came over to their table, so she deduced that he was one of the people she was trying to avoid.Apart from the fact that Felicity wanted nothing to do with a player, she also wanted to get rid of him as fast as possible, for Mackenzie’s sake.West retracted his hand with an unfazed grin, “I didn’t mean to interrupt you ladies. My bad.”He slid out his business card from his pocket and placed it on the table, smoothly sliding it forward till it sat right in front of Felicity. She didn’t even glance at it, she kept staring at him blankly.“There’s my number. I am not expecting a call from you, but I’m hoping that you’d find me worth your time.” He gave a charming wink that made Charlotte fan herself, but it had no effect on Felicity.He continued, “I know you mind, but I have already paid for your drinks, so it might as well just order something.”“Please take your money back, we have no interest in using it.” Felici
Mackenzie followed the stairs, till she reached a hallway that looked too luxurious to be a public area of the building. It looked like some sort of VIP spot. She glanced back at the stairs, only to hear the sounds of someone loudly following her.Her face drained.Jeffrey had actually followed her! She thought he had been distracted with the waiters.Panicking, she ran further into the hallway, trying to spot an escape route. But there was nothing. The doors on the opposite walls were closed, leaving her no choice but to hurry forward. After a moment of pure panic, she finally spotted a door that was slightly open, so she ran towards it like it was her life line.She slipped through the space and hid behind the door, casting her frightened gaze across the room filled with low lighting and lots of shadows. Her eyes moved to the window, and spotted a tall, broad figure facing out of the window, with a glass of wine in his hand.Mackenzie froze, and in her shock, took a step back. She a
Mackenzie was standing in nothing but a flimsy black lace bra and matching black panties. And her high heels. She swayed slightly, making her hair flirt around her back.“It’s so hot..” She muttered to herself, reaching to her back and struggling to reach the pins of her bra.Now that the danger was gone, she was lost under the influence of the tequila shots she had been chugging down all night.Chase could not control the sudden lust that erupted in a scorching inferno inside him the moment he stepped in to see her like this. His entire body had gone tense, and his eyes hooded with desire.Fuck, he thought, as blood pooled straight down in his shaft.But then she was drunk. She had no idea what she was doing. He shouldn’t be thinking about throwing her onto the bed, tearing that flimsy lace off her soft and curvy hips and plowing his cock into her so hard, her screams would bring the entire club house down.Those X-rated thoughts of his, while she was drunk were too depraved.“What a
Mackenzie, in her drunken stupor, placed a hand against her ears, realizing that she had left her earrings back in Chase’s VIP room. She had taken them off first before sliding out of her dress. “How could I let this happen?” She muttered grumpily to herself, oblivious to the fact that Chase was watching her closely as they got closer to Maverick’s car.Charlotte and Felicity perked up immediately they spotted them, and they hurried forward. “Is she okay?” Felicity asked, worriedly.“I found her on time, thankfully.” Uncle Maverick answered, shooting a cold look in Chase’s direction. “She’s just soaking drunk.”“She had too much tequila. I should have stopped her.” Felicity frowned.Chase was distracted from the conversation when Charlotte planted herself in front of him, with her eyes wide in awe and disbelief. She could not believe the fact that she was standing in front of The Chase Axford in person.She eagerly noted that he looked even more gorgeous in person than in the pictur
The mention of the will had Chase bristling with sudden anger. He hated the fact that his father had so easily resigned himself to the idea of being killed off by cancer.“That is not important right now.” He gritted out. “What is important is that you get your surgery and come out healthy again!”Richard furrowed his eyebrows. “What is wrong with you, Chase? You are usually the practical one. Getting my things in order, including my will, is the practical thing to do at this point. No one knows what the outcome of the surgery will be.”“We are fighters. That is what got us this high in the food chain.” Chase countered. “You have to fight this. You already have state-of-the-art hospital equipment, genius doctors and skilled surgeons at your service. All that’s left is your will to fight. Do you really want to leave, like mom did?”Richard sighed deeply. “Son. You have Eleanor.”Chase’s expression visibly darkened at the mention of that woman. “If you trust Eleanor so much, why have
The man was in serious pain, and that pain bled into his voice as he exclaimed,“My wrist is broken! Please! Please, let me go!”His pride and over bloated ego had all evaporated in Chase’s presence. Sweat trickled down the side of his face, as he tried to loosen his inflamed wrist from Chase’s grip.“What was that you called her?” Chase snarled in rage, “Who the fuck are you to lay your filthy hand on her?!”The manager dashed out of a door to see what the noise was all about, and his jaw dropped to the ground in alarm and shock when he saw Chase. He hurried over, apologizes spilling out of his mouth like a waterfall.He had not even bothered to ask what was going on.“Mr. Axford! I’m deeply sorry—”Chase was barely even listening. All of his dark attention was strained on the man. He roughly flung his hand away, earning a pained howl from the man who was now clutching his hand desperately.“Where the fuck is your business card?” Chase demanded, barely keeping his rage contained.Mac
Mackenzie knew that Jeffrey had an arsenal of hotshot lawyers at his disposal, along with his cunning, scheming bitch of a mother. It would cost them nothing to tweak the law a little bit to come for her kids.Wealthy people are scary.The Axfords are scarier.She was helpless against them. Broke, trying so hard to make ends meet, she could barely afford a good lawyer if it came to that. In the best case scenario, she would be only to get shared custody of her kids… with Jeffrey.The mere thought was a nightmare.Her poor, innocent babies would become mere tools in the hands of Eleanor and Jeffrey. Then again, the truth of her infidelity would come to light in front of the entire world. Not many things about the Axfords go unnoticed by the press, so the scandal of her having kids for her husband’s stepbrother, while still married… was going to mess up her reputation.Everyone would see her as an infidel. Mackenzie didn’t have the heart to endure that kind of public judgement.At this
