Chase's gaze drifted out the window, his eyes lost in the clouds as he swivelled gently in his chair. Seven months since he last saw Ariel. Seven months since his world was turned upside down. He couldn't shake off the memories of her, of their marriage, of the way it all ended. "Why did it have to
The air around him seemed to vibrate with an aura of power and control, his very presence commanding respect, commanding submission. His gaze was like a vice, gripping Monica’s attention, holding her captive, refusing to let her look away. Monica had no choice but to nod her head vigorously. He has
Later in the evening as Chase walked into the dining room, the warm glow of the table lamps and the savoury aromas of the meal enveloped him, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity. But the atmosphere was tense, the air thick with unspoken tensions and secrets. Monica’s eyes darted towards Cal
Monica’s face contorted in anguish, her body shaking with sobs. “Please… please don’t take this away from me… I’ll do anything…” Monica’s desperate pleas hanging in the air, Caleb’s resolve unwavering, and the truth threatening to explode like a bombshell. Just then, Chase enters the kitchen. C
Monica stormed into her father’s house, her anger and frustration still simmering. Her father, Victor, looked up from his armchair, his expression stern. “Monica, what did I tell you about being careful?” he scolded, his voice firm but controlled. “You can’t just fake a pregnancy and expect everyth
ARIEL (PLEASE READ WITH THE COPY OF YOUR HEART AND NOT THE ORIGINAL... LOL. MANY THANKS... MISS X.) Ariel stood in front of the mirror, her hospital gown stretched over her swollen belly, her eyes fixed on the reflection of her triplets, Star, Sky, and Moon. She couldn't help but reminisce about
“Hello?” he answered, his voice husky. “Chase, it’s Victor. Monica’s father,” the voice on the other end said brusquely. Chase’s senses immediately heightened. “What’s going on? Is everything okay?” “Monica had a baby boy a couple of days ago,” Victor announced curtly. Chase’s mind raced. “W
Chase sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the blank screen of the laptop in front of him, but his mind wandered to his son, Austin. He couldn’t believe it had been a year since he became a father. He was still overjoyed, and everything he did now was for Austin’s future and protection. Just as he wa
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
