When she got into the car, the smell of Jace was all over the place. His body fragrance is strong. She wished he was there to see and hold her hand as he always does whenever they ride in the same car. They arrived at the Suitorial hotel and Arianna was captivated by the beauty of the place. She hasn't been there before and it looks like the club aspect of the hotel was more lively than the other sections. The door to her side opened and Arianna glanced at who opened it. It was Jace dressed in a shirt and a pant. Despite wearing a shirt and pants, Jace still possesses that charm and handsomeness. Arianna glared at him and he gave her his hand, helping her out of the car. He was captivated by her beauty. She looked gorgeous and sexy. He scanned at her dress, his eyes resting on the curvy figure,then down to her feet. When he looked at her face again, his eyes lingered on her hair. Arianna saw his Adam apple rolled up and down his throat. "Let's go," he fina
Jace Hudson and Arianna were engrossed in a heated kiss. It was nothing like what they've done before, Jace possessing every part of Arianna's lips. Arianna wasn't expecting it this way but she took it in, kissing Jace back. Her hands across Jace's lips, the feeling of heat and desire to take more cannot be ignored by them both. Jace's heart placed against her boops, and one of his hands, on her hips, caressing it. His other hand caressed her back. Arianna doesn't know how long they walked, but she was certain Jace was directing her to a room. Jace paused momentarily and Arianna used the opportunity to catch some breath. One of his hands was holding her right against his tensed aroused body and the other was being used on the door lock. Soon, Arianna saw that fingertip unlock the door and he pulled her alongside him into the room. As soon as he shut the door, he brought her to sit on his thighs as he sank into the sofa. His hands pulling down the zipper on
Arianna wrapped the quilt over her body as she watched Jace slip on a boxer shorts. His bare chest was hairy, especially below his belly button. He went to get his phone and typed in something quickly. He soon placed the phone down and asked "Why did you say you were leaving me, Arianna?" He asked, his face turning into an expressionless one. "Can we just forget about it? I'm back to the Mansion and that settles it" Arianna waved the matter aside. She's back and that should be enough for the time being. The most important thing is that he shouldn't repeat the same mistake again. She glared at Jace. They just had a beautiful time together,he shouldn't be talking about the past. "No, I don't want to forget about it. You are so annoying sometimes Arianna. Why do you keep threatening me with "I'm leaving you" every single time. Don't you love me at all, not even a bit? You take advantage of every little thing and tell me you are leaving. You even dare to tell Eli
"...there isn't anything I can do about it, Ethan. Jace Hudson is not someone to mess around with. I had to do it so I don't get into trouble with him" Daisy pleaded, shivering and fidgeting in fear. How on earth was she supposed to know that Ethan would discover she took the properties papers of their home as well as that of her parents house and got a huge loan from the bank to make up 70% of the payment. But somehow, luck ran against her when Ethan got wind of the loan because they owned a joint account. "You sold the only property we have to pay for the transaction you incurred upon yourself as a result of your stupidity? You bargained for idiocy and bought foolishness home. We don't have a home anymore. We would soon be thrown out of this house and have no place in particular to go. Do you have senses at all in that big for nothing skull of yours?" Ethan thundered. He just recently learned that Arianna works with Hudson's holdings. He didn't expect that
Heads turned in the direction to the entrance and they saw Arianna Jason standing with a file in her hand. She looked stunning and full of elegance in her designer suit. Stanley glared at Arianna, his opportunity to badmouth her has been ruined. She always has a way to slip away. Very slippery in nature. Arianna walked further into the room and bowed politely "I'm sorry CEO and Mr Chase Hudson" Arianna apologised and went to take her seat. Jace glanced at her briefly with a poker face and looked away. She sat down and put her work in order ready for her presentation when Chase Hudson said "Mr Stanley, you should give us your presentation first" Stanley swallowed hard and stood up. His papers were not properly attached together and they kept falling off. He bent down to pick them and hit his nose against the large conference desk. It pained Stanley and he tried to act strong and be a man. But the nose had gone red. When he stood upright, its reddishness caus
Jane Delmark went to the hospital for a check up. The consultant advised that she was due for another surgery, the very last one. If that surgery was successful, she wouldn't be having a business with the use of walkers anymore. Richard agreed. He said he wanted to book for the surgery already in Spain but needed her to see her doctor here in Hilton before doing that. He would book for the surgery that day. On their way out, Genesis called, she had prepared a picnic and was asking if Richard would come over to join her. "Hi dear" Richard said, helping his mom into the car and walking over to sit behind the wheel. "I'm fine. How is mom's check up, are you guys back?" Genesis asked, eager to meet Richard. "No, just leaving the hospital now. So tell me, what's up?" Richard asked, smiling. He can tell that Genesis was feeling excited talking to him. They really haven't made up with each other after lunch with Arianna. He really wants to see her and assure h
"...You should have taught your daughter to close her legs and not…"Chase was saying when Jace slammed his fist on the desk. "Enough Chase Hudson!" Jace thundered. Jace was so furious as he stared at his brother. What kind of a man says that to a woman he's had sex with? Doesn't Chase have a sense of piety? And to know that this woman sitting next to him is the grandmother of his unborn child. How can he talk so arrogantly to a woman who he would forever share a relationship with, because of his baby? "What brother! Why are you telling me it's enough? Her daughter trapped me with the pregnancy. She deliberately wanted to be my woman, forcing herself on me. I don't love her. I only slept with her or better still, she slept with me. If her momma had taught her not to be pregnant for a man who doesn't love her, she probably would bear that in mind. I paid her for her services. I don't owe her anything. She is my bedmate and sex partner and it ends after each ses
Rosalinda was shocked seeing her mom that way. Her facial expression wasn't looking good at all. Had she gone to see Chase despite her insistence that she shouldn't go? "Mom, did you go to meet Chase?" Rosalinda asked and Pricillia looked away, her eyes welled up with tears. She cannot waved Chase's words off her memory. The unpleasant names he called her daughter, she cannot forget it. And she cannot tell Rosalinda what he said as well, it will break her down the more. Nor can she forget in a hurry that Chase told her she didn't raise her daughter well. She didn't teach her not to be pregnant for a man that doesn't love her. Rosalinda's eyes went moist. Her mother had gone to meet the asshole. She can imagine what the rascal said to her mother. "You were right. I shouldn't have gone to meet him. That man is not human at all. He should never have been the one who will be the father of my grandchild. I wished this never happened" Pricillia said and sniffl
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
