Genesis' cheerful expression went sour. She glanced at Richard and he locked eyes with her. He gently moved his face away from her and went to get the phone. "Answer the phone," Richard said, offering her his cellphone. This Tessa Thompson is a terrible woman,a witch if he must say. But Genesis wouldn't collect the phone and he decided to answer it, placing it on speaker "What do you want, Tessa" Richard demanded "Nothing. I'm just informing you that I would be relocating to France and I'm not coming back any moment soon" Tessa responded. Richard is unhappy with her. She hadn't spoken to him in a while and now, he snapped at her from the other end as if they were enemies. No matter what happens between them, they were lovers at a time. They fuck each other, satisfied each other and slept in each other's arms in their nudity on the same bed under the same quilt. He can't hate her that much. That smelly girl must have won him back to herself. She cam
Arianna cheeks flushed with redness. Her ears became red as well and she swallowed hard. She missed him but he shouldn't say she missed his dick and not him. Yes, she doesn't mind being fucked, but it doesn't mean she came back to get his dick drilling into her pussy. It's much more than that. Jace suddenly pulled her, cupping her ass with his hands and pressed her hard against his lower part. She could feel he was high with desire. "You don't have to worry, I will fuck you here and hard. Like I said, your office is in my lounge. Every day you resume there, undress yourself and lay nude. I will fuck you as often as I want until the day is over. You have just been hired as my whore and I will pay you according to your expertise. Paying you depends on how pleased and satisfied I am. And if you fail to satisfy me, you won't get a dime at the end of the day. So prepare yourself for your new position…" Jace outlined, holding her against his aroused body. He s
"No Jace. I can't take it. You wounded me down there and I don't know how I'm going to recuperate without visiting the hospital. Please don't torture me again " Arianna pleaded. "I don't have a dick. What I have is a straw. Wash yourself and await the unleashing of my straw" Jace declared as a matter of finality. Arianna felt like puking blood. She only provoked him a while ago that she doesn't know if he has a dick or a straw. Now he uses the word against her. He doesn't have a dick and yet, left her battered down there. What if he have? Jace got a cigarette and lit it. He went to his Mini wine cellar and poured himself a glass of vodka. He gulped the entire content at a time. He poured himself another glass and walked back to the bed with the glass in his hands. "Do you care?" He asked, gulping the entire content down again. "Yes, I need a glass," Arianna declared. She sat up on the bed, covering herself with a quilt. Was Jace coming to his right senses
He glared at his brother speechless. What has he done again? How does taking back a former employee have to do with her working in his lounge and on his bed? Jace can be mean when he decides to do so. Arianna is his fiance or Maybe ex fiance for crying out loud. She's the mother of his son. "Jace. I'm sorry to say this but don't hurt that woman again. You've shown your displeasure with what she'd done, don't go overboard. Don't abuse her sexually. Whatever you do to her, you are doing it to Eli and who knows maybe she would still end up with you. Please don't hurt her anymore" Chase solicited. "Why are you trying to sermonise me? I told you that I will be hard on her and you insisted on hiring her back. I fired her to help me keep my cool, but she snuggled her way back, using you as her ladder. I didn't force her to do anything. She wants to be close to me, and that's the best way to do it. So tell me, what have I done wrong? Besides, if anyone is to se
Chase felt embarrassed and humiliated. He knew she wasn't saying the truth but since she said it so openly, it means he needs to back off from pursuing her. He nodded, and turned to glance briefly at Alexander Hamilton before glaring at Rosalinda "Alright. I will not come anywhere around you anymore" "You dare not. Henceforth use your head and not your heart whenever you remember the name Rosalinda. Stay off" Alexander Hamilton thundered. "You don't have to remind me that" Chase responded and glanced at Rosalinda again before turning around and left. Rosalinda remained glued to the spot where she stood and watched his retreating back view. She chased him off. She'd always wanted to be loved by him. Now, he eventually fell in love with her and came back to pursue her. But what she did was to chased him away. She threw away the love she had always yearned for. Chase has now offered it to her on the platter of gold and she refused it. Her eyes welled up wi
Arianna's response made Chase go solemn. He glanced at her briefly before looking away. She defended him. That's true love. Jace covered up her wrong before their parents and she defended him when he's not there. Love is also showing respect for your partner when he or she is not there. These duo love each other very much. For this, Arianna just earned herself more respect from him. "Jace is a great guy. In the Past, we might have brushed each other's shoulders, but he has a softness in him and his heart is filled with great love. Whatever he did to me, it was because I crossed him. I hurt him very much and I am sorry I did that to the man that loves me. I should never have done that, but I did. The loss of a child is not something that goes down well with any parent. Whether born or yet unborn. It was his unborn child, it wasn't mine alone. I had no right to deprive him of being a father again. He wanted the baby. I knew the yearning and desire in his heart. B
Jace's eyes went red. He watched Arianna sob. Without another word, he turned and went to the bedroom. Her words were like a dagger, every word uttered was stabbing deep into his heart. But unlike other kinds of stabbing that results in bleeding, this one was binding his bleeding and wounded heart. It was healing and he felt his pain gradually vanishing away. He went into the bathroom and soaked himself in warm leather. He closed his eyes and ruminated on her words. Perhaps he was wrong to take a harsh decision on her. He should have given her a second chance. He won't say anything to her about what she did. He also once hurt her and she let go. Why can't he also let go? Somehow,he doesn't feel the hurting that comes to his mind whenever he remembers that she aborted his baby. Her words healed it. He remembers but he doesn't feel hurt anymore. It's a major breakthrough for him. He felt she doesn't love him like he loves her. But if her words were true, then they
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
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
