Chase stood tall and proud, his broad shoulders giving him an imposing presence. His features were strong and sharp, with deep-set eyes that rarely smiled. His jaw was square and firm, his lips set in a straight line. His demeanour was serious and focused, giving the impression that he was always in
“Forget it. I’m going home to get ready for work,” Chase picks up his bag and starts walking out of the gym. What he doesn’t know is that someone was patiently waiting for him down in the basement parking. The man was standing behind Chase’s car, smoking a cigarette while the ashes fell on top of
MONICA SANTINO I’m sitting in the kitchen, fiddling with my cup of tea, when I hear the door open and footsteps approaching. I know it’s Caleb before he even enters the room because I am in his secret apartment, what used to be our safe spot. I can feel my stomach churning, my palms start to sweat
Chase was in his office at the mansion, catching up with his work when grandfather interrupted him by entering the office, setting down on the couch, and demanding to speak with him. Chase couldn’t make any excuses even if he wanted to because he knew how persistent his grandfather was, so if he w
Chase leaned and kissed her temple. “I must head out for now, but I will be back soon. If mom knows that you are here, then you can freely be here,” “She knows. I’ll wait for you to come back,” Monica was happy, in fact she was starting to think that being pregnant was the best thing ever. Chase
Chase was finally home, and he had a little too much to drink. He looked at both Monica and Caleb, who are startled by his presence. Monica quickly ran up to Chase and hugged him, deeply anxious and hoping that he wasn’t standing there for too long to have heard her conversation with Caleb. “Cha
ARIEL It is a cold morning in London, and I am still in Chase’s grandmother’s house. I am still in the guestroom, not ready to face her, but I am deeply hoping that she has changed her mind about me staying her. I just want her to at least believe me and convince Chase that these are his babies. Y
“It’s nothing, really,” “It is my mother, isn’t it? She is taking Chase’s side, and wants you to leave,” “It’s okay, Diana. I really do not blame her,” I say, trying to bring out a smile on my face. “Where are you going to go from here?” She asks. “I’ll look for a B&B to stay in, and...” “
Her father sighed and rubbed his temples. “It’s a long story, Monica,” he said. “But I’ll tell you everything. Just please, listen to me and try to understand.” Monica nodded, still feeling dazed and confused. But she was determined to get to the truth and understand what was happening. “Okay,”
Monica’s eyes fluttered open, and she was met with an unfamiliar ceiling. She was disoriented, and for a moment, she thought she was having a bad dream. But as she sat up and looked around, she realised that she was in a room she had never seen before. Panic set in, and she jumped out of bed, her he
But it was quickly suppressed, replaced by a sense of calculation and cunning. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. “I’m already proud of you,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “You’re going to do great things, Rachel. I just know it.”
As they drove home from the water theme park, Chase was awfully quiet, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Ariel noticed the silence and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong. She glanced over at Chase, trying to read his expression, but his face was a mask of calmness. Ariel's mind wandered back t
Chase raised an eyebrow, his expression sceptical. “What makes you think I care about any of this?” he asked, his voice cold. Monica took a step forward, her eyes locked onto Chase’s. “Because I know you, Chase,” she said. “I know you’re a good person, and I know you deserve to be happy.” Chas
As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the water theme park, Chase and Ariel started to pack up the remains of their picnic. The kids, still buzzing with excitement from their birthday celebration, gathered around, chattering and laughing as they helped their parents gather their b
As Rachel walked into the house, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had just come from a meeting with Chase and Caleb, and she was confident that she had made a great impression. She was smiling from ear to ear, eager to share the details of her day with the man who
Chase stood outside the conference room, adjusting his tie and taking a deep breath. He and his brother, Caleb, were about to meet with a representative from a potential investor, and Chase wanted to make a good impression. Caleb, who was standing beside him, clapped him on the back. “You’ve got
Chase stepped out of the hospital room, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He had been by Ariel’s side for the past hour, watching as she struggled through the contractions. He knew she needed him, but he also knew she needed to stay hydrated. He decided to slip out and grab some iced water fr
