Jace turned his head away. "Let's talk about this when I'm back. I'm running late for my flight" Jace declared, trying to shove her aside. "You want to go to her and bed her. You want to fuck another woman and possibly you'll prefer a baby mama competing with me over your body" Arianna sneered. "Once she's pregnant I won't touch her again. Besides, I am not answerable to you. We already broke up and I haven't said I have accepted you as my fiance again" Jace declared. Arianna is trying hard to protect her territory. She doesn't want to share him with any woman. She wants to monopolise his body. Well, it's a norm. He also will kill any man who dares to nurse the thought of being with her. "You're right then. I don't have any right to be jealous. I don't mean anything to you either. So there's no use remaining here. I'll also be leaving" Arianna seethed. "If you leave when I'm gone. You're telling me to get another mother for Eli. I won't stop you. So just tell
The chauffeur went stiffened and shivered . Quickly he composed himself and concentrated on his job. Oh gosh, the boss saw him? Oh no, he flopped. His job would definitely be at stake. Jace's expression was cold. He is not fond of going romantic with Arianna in the car before. Besides cuddling and planting a featherlight kiss on her temple, there's nothing else. But he could do whatever he likes without being unnecessarily cautious. But for his chauffeur to steal glances at him must be thoroughly dealt with. Arianna blushed and looked away. They would have to behave themselves henceforth when they are in the car. When they arrived at the airport, Jace alighted and held the door for Arianna to step out. He waited for Eduardo to take the luggages out of the car before turning to gaze at the chauffeur. "Have you gotten yourself a new job elsewhere?" He asked flippantly. There was no anger or fury in his tone. "No sir" the chauffeur responded, bowing his h
Rosalinda's cheerful countenance went sullen all of a sudden. Her knife which was cutting a piece of chicken suddenly went beyond the chicken as she was exerting her energy to slice through the expensive plate. Her gaze on Bola became fierce. She was doing all these because of Chase? She was putting up an act just to attract him to herself and seduce him as well? She doesn't want anything but to get fucked by him every day? She wants to have a feeling of his cock inside her? What nonsense!!! She doesn't know that Chase Hudson used to be her boyfriend? How can she say such words before her? She's sending her crazy. Women like Bola are the reasons why Chase was never faithful and pleased with a single woman. They are ready to throw themselves at his feet in their nudity. They are the ones who made him believe making love to a woman was simply fun and doesn't require a commitment to it. He can drill his dick into several women in a day and simply walk away. He
Rosalinda waited patiently. Why is she thinking about telling her daddy's name? Well, little kids with their little reasoning. After some time,Bella decided that she's not going to tell the Aunt her daddy's name. She doesn't want to reveal her daddy's identity. Some bad people are out and can do something really bad and terrible to her dad. No, she's not going to tell her who her dad is. "I don't know your name," Bella asked, changing the subject of discussion. She doesn't know the name of the beautiful Aunt, how can she tell her, her daddy's name. "I'm Linda, just call me Linda" Rosalinda replied and smiled. This little puny is making her fall in love with her more. How she wishes she's her daughter with Chase. She caressed her chin and Bella smiled. She likes this Aunt. Can she come to their house more often? Her dad might not allow her to come over to see her always. But if she can come to their Mansion, they can always see each other and remain as friends
Rosalinda's smile gradually dissipated. She allowed her gaze to linger on Chase a little more than necessary. Her encounter with him a few days ago and her unguided utterances flipped through her mind within splits of seconds. She swallowed hard as a feeling of guilt flooded her heart. She looked away and blushed. What is he doing there? Has he also come over to dinner? Did he come with someone? People like Bola or the likes of her. He probably sighted her and walked over. She hopes he's alone. While Rosalinda was having a million thoughts crossing her mind within splits of seconds, Chase Hudson was preoccupied with different thoughts. Did Bella just call her Linda before running towards her? The excitement on his daughter's face is making him have mixed feelings if she is the friend Bella has been talking about. "My daddy is here" Bella chimed and turned around to see where her dad was standing when she saw him a few distance from them. "This is my daddy.
Arianna was feeling pain but Jace wouldn't let her go. She wanted to tell him that he started it first when he decided to be having affairs in the name of surrogacy. "If you dare it, Arianna, I will choke you to death,I swear to you" Jace warned and let her go. He started the ignition and drove off. The rest of the journey to the hotel was done in silence. None said a word to the other. Jace's expression was cold, it was emitting a killing intent. Arianna knows better than anyone that she shouldn't say anything that would infuriate him further. Just saying it got him so angry. What about getting into the act? What about him, why wouldn't he look at himself in the mirror? Who gave him the right to be angry with her over something he was doing himself. As they arrived at the hotel, Jace Hudson left her behind and dashed into the room before her. It doesn't seem as if they are together. He completely ignored her. Arianna got in and shot the door. "Do you think
There was silence and Chase glared at Bella. Why is she insisting on Rosalinda? Is there something about their friendship that he doesn't understand? Rosalinda choked on her saliva. Her ears were red and she tried to hold back her tears. She can't stand this father daughter argument anymore. It's all centred on her. "Common, little Puny. You don't argue with your father nor talk back to him. He only wants you in the best company as every father does. I guess your father might have met me sometime in the past. He probably believes a misconception about me and you know next to nothing about it. Just listen and obey him, okay?" Rosalinda persuaded. On the way home,Chase was unusually quiet. Bella leaned on him and soon dozed off. He caressed her hair gently and kissed it. Meeting Rosalinda was interesting. He saw her eyes, especially the moment she wanted to sob, he felt those tears were asking him for a chance to explain things. She still loves him. Now,he l
Jace let her go and Arianna raised herself. She flipped her hair backwards and kissed Jace. When he kissed her, he felt the saltiness in her mouth. He knew it's the lingering taste of his semen still in her mouth. He grabbed her and said "you swallowed?" Arianna nodded. He chuckled softly and glared into her eyes. "I love you, Arianna. Don't break my heart again, please" he pleaded. He loves her dearly. It's not because he just got fucked,but because that's how it is, that's how he felt about her. Arianna nodded. She cupped his cute face in her palm. He seemed sweaty. He appeared like someone sexually satisfied and it makes her happy that she pleased him. "I love you too, Jace. I promise I won't hurt you anymore" She replied. Jace held her and kissed her. It's fun to make love from the feeling of love to the person you love in a loving way to give you that feeling of being loved. "Give me a hour,Aria. I will shower and then reply some mails" he requested. He gl
When the couple alighted, Chase held Rosalinda's hand, intertwining his fingers ders with hers. They drew closer, and a few securities walked over to their boss. When Chase walked over he turned and glared at the securities in hostility "the next time you opened that gate to some unwanted guests, your job in this house is ended!" He thundered. "We are not unwanted guests Mr Hudson. We are law enforcement agencies with a search warrant…" One of the police officers was saying when Chase snapped at him. "If you have a search warrant, do you also have a gate pass?" He asked, his usual arrogant personality taking over the calmness he portrayed at the orphanage. For a few seconds, none could say a word until the man next to Amanda Smith introduced himself "I am Barr. Clifford,Miss Amanda Smith's lawyer" he said, dissipating the awkwardness in the air. "We have a search warrant from the head office to search your mansion for Miss Bella Smith, a girl you adopted fr
How dare he say she needs the advice the most when he was the one who hurt her and rejected the baby? How can he refer to himself as Bella's father after ordering her to have an abortion back then. If she had gone ahead, she would have flushed Bella away. Now, he brought his face before her and said he is Bella's father? She's not afraid of him anymore. What she wants is her daughter and nothing else. "Amanda, I know that you are hurt. I also know that I made you hurt. But please, I'm begging you let's talk about our daughter please" Chase pleaded. "Yes, Miss Amanda. Just give him a chance and talk to him. This mother is pleading with you as a mother, listen to Chase" Rosalinda coaxed. "I don't have anything to talk to him about. You wanted me to have an abortion back then. You paid for it and told me not to come before you again. And I didn't, I never came to find you ever again. And today you call yourself my daughter's father? How is that possible?
The both of them stared at each other in shock. Chase remembered the dream. Everything played fresh in his memory and he was afraid of the rest of the dream becoming a reality. Amanda Smith glared at him. She was thinking about him without knowing he was standing next to her. What is going on here? She remembered the past. How she was involved with Chase and became pregnant. How he urged and persuaded her for an abortion. He transferred a large sum of money into her account and told her not to come before him again or return someday with some damn baby to blackmail him. He is a Hudson. A billionaire and has power. But she's a nobody. She had to hide away and carried her baby in her belly and gave birth to her without his knowledge. She doesn't have the ability or the name to fight him. Now, after a few years she met with him again. But she hopes he's not the man who adopted her daughter? From the words of the matron, she hopes her daughter hasn't found h
Chase kept his gaze on her confused facial expression. He chuckled softly and said "No. She's my daughter by adoption. And now, the orphanage wants to see me along with her" Rosalinda shook her head in disapproval. She'd always thought she's his daughter for real, that is, by blood connection. And she didn't bother asking him about the girl's Mom. And the resemblance, how come about it then? She takes after Chase 50% in appearance. Her eyes looked a lot like Eli and his dad. "But Bella looks like you and your family…" Rosalinda interjected. This is unbelievable. If Chase hadn't told her himself, she wouldn't have believed it if someone else told her. "It's a coincidence. We're not related by blood" Chase replied, smiling. Somehow the girl looks like the Hudson's. That's one other reason he insisted he would adopt her. She would fit perfectly into the family. "Are you sure none of your ex…"Rosalinda trailed off. It's enough. If Chase said she's his daughter by
The matron nodded and smiled. The only kid in the orphanage that goes by the name Bella was the one adopted a few months ago. "Can we get the information about your daughter and the legal documentation you signed? Amanda smiled and brought out all the necessary documents and placed them before the matron. After glancing over it and comparing it with the copies in the orphanage. She realised that it's her daughter indeed that has been given off in adoption. "We waited for you for many years. Other parents returned to get their kids and many were adopted except Bella…"the matron trailed off. They couldn't reach her. She changed her address and her contacts were forever switched off. Since there was no information about her, they couldn't inform her that her daughter had been adopted. "I'm sorry about that ma'am. Life was unfair to me so I decided to go away for a few years. But I'm back now. I have a job and I've returned to fetch my daughter" Amanda Smith
Jace couldn't curtail the excitement surging in him. Arianna is pregnant again, it only means he's eventually going to be a father again. "Thank you" Jace chimed. He smiled broadly. Richard smiled too. He can't wait for the day when he will also receive such good news as an expectant father. "Watch her diet Jace, if you can. Especially the intake of alcohol is not good for the baby" Richard advised. "Yeah, sure" Jace nodded. He glanced at the direction where the ladies went and felt like going after her and hugging her affectionately. She's carrying his child, Eli will have his request granted in a couple of months. They had hardly finished the party when Jace had Arianna come upstairs. There's a kind of excitement in him that she hasn't seen before. He almost was going to spoon-feed her. This deep expression of love, she doesn't know what she'd done to deserve it. Anyways she accompanied him. "You'll have to do a test. I bought five different brands
Her heartbeat almost skipped. She stood gazing at the two people she least expected to come and see her. Is she dreaming or hallucinating? She blinked her eyes and opened them again, but they remained at the same spot, smiling broadly at her. She turned and glanced at Chase,the latter shrugged. Chase went to see them, is that why she didn't wake up to find him next to her? She swallowed hard and wanted to say something but her words choked in her throat. Chase has impressed her over and over with his ability to reconcile people together. "Congratulations baby" Pricillia Black was the first to make an utterance. She opened her arms and walked towards Rosalinda. The latter mumbled "mummy" and her eyes went cloudy with tears. She got into her mom's arms and hugged her. Her tears gave way and for some seconds, they both couldn't say anything but remained in each other's arms. "Mummy,I missed you," Rosalinda confessed. She sniffled and swallowed hard. Her mom's t
"... I'm sorry . I know I have been stupid in the past. I trespassed. I bruised your ego and I said demeaning words to you, but I sincerely apologise to you and I seek nothing but your forgiveness. Even if you don't want to forgive me, for your daughter's sake, forgive me. Rosalinda is broken and unhappy. For the rest of yesterday, she's sobbing secretly. Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? No mother or brother ever wishes so for their daughter and sister. I humbly request you to forgive me for her sake. Rosalinda loves me a lot. She hadn't stop loving me for once. I fell in love with her after she miscarried my baby. I swear that I regretted my actions. I tried to apologise, but you both didn't give me a chance. I am a different person now. I love your daughter more than anything else in this world. Please give us your blessings, dear mother inlaw…" Chase pleaded. Pricillia Black was speechless. She doesn't know if she's to be angry or just walk away. Bu
She had been unexceptionally quiet all the way from the registry. After her encounter with her family, her excitement went down and she had only been forcing herself to appear happy. But Chase wouldn't forfeit the pleasure of his wedding night simply because the bride wasn't looking cheerful. He has to take his conjugal right. Rosalinda was not giving him the expected cooperation. She wasn't in the slightest mood or interested to consummate her wedding. If Chase can just spare her that night. Before the next day, she would have been able to put her emotions together and willingly give herself to him. And she cannot tell Chase about it. And the latter refused to interpret the attitude she was giving him. Chase just doesn't want to understand at all. "What's happening Rosa? Don't you want me to make love to you?" Chase asked, feeling annoyed already. He had to undress her and despite that, she was stiffening her body. He suspected that she doesn't want to cons
