The moment our lips met, it was like a dam had burst. The kiss was fierce and passionate, our tongues entwining in a dance of desire. I felt like I was melting into his embrace, our bodies pressed together like two magnets. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in this st
I walked into the house, exhausted from the long night at the hospital, but determined to freshen up and get some clean clothes for Monica and Austin. But before I could even take a step further, my grandfather’s voice stopped me in my tracks. “Chase, we need to talk.” I turned to face him, my eye
When she finally did, her voice was husky and sweet. “Hey, what’s up?” Chase took a deep breath. “We need to talk, Ariel. It’s important.” There was a pause on the other end of the line before Ariel spoke up. “Now? I’m kind of in the middle of something at the office, Chase. What is it about
“Just so you know, I am not backing down from the company, Chase. Not until I find where the money had gone to. For your information, you have been suspended until the investigation is over. The board members voted against you,” Chase did not expect that, but none of that mattered to him if it was
Monica stormed into the hospital room, her eyes blazing with anger and jealousy as the receptionist had already told her they had a visit. She was met with a scene that made her heart twist with pain. Ariel was sitting on the bed, playing with Austin, who was laughing and giggling like she had never
She sat in the car, frozen in thought, weighing her options. She could accept the offer and pursue her dream, but it would mean leaving Coles Group and her plans for it incomplete. Or she could decline, and finish her mission at Coles Group. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she made a d
ARIEL I walked into the office, exhausted from a long day of meetings, and was greeted by the warm smile of my father. He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and his eyes shone with pride. “Ariel, my dear, congratulations!” he exclaimed, wrapping me in a tight hug. “I can’t believe my daughter
"Let's talk about this in the car." I hesitated, but Chase's serious tone brooked no argument. I got in, and he followed suit, closing the door behind him. As soon as we were alone, Chase admonished me. "Ariel, please don't raise your voice at me in front of the kids. It's not good for them." I
The aroma of cooking food wafted through the air as Rachel busied herself in the kitchen, preparing a meal for lunch. She was absorbed in her task, her hands moving with practiced ease as she chopped, sautéed, and seasoned. The sizzle of vegetables and the savoury smell of meat filled the kitchen, m
As she sat there, frozen with uncertainty, Rachel couldn't help but think about everything she had done for Victor. She had given him her heart, her trust, and her love. The thought that he might not feel the same way, that he might be deceiving her, was almost too much to bear. Rachel's eyes well
As the lights were turned off and the room grew quiet, Chase and Ariel snuggled under the blankets, ready to drift off to sleep. But just as they were about to settle in, Chase suddenly spoke up, his voice low and thoughtful. “Ariel, can I talk to you about something?” he asked, his words breaking
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
