Chase’s nod was curt, his eyes never leaving hers. “I promise. Just take me to her.” The officer nodded, leading him down the hallway to the interrogation room. Chase’s heart raced with anticipation, his mind racing with thoughts of Ariel and what she might be going through. He was determined to
Chase stood precariously on his crutches, Jordan’s car screeched to a halt in front of the police station, and he leapt out, his eyes fixed on Chase’s frail form leaning on crutches. Surprise and concern etched on his face, he rushed towards his friend. “Chase, what the hell? You’re supposed to be

The detective’s eyes narrowed. “What about the DNA test results?” The officer hesitated, his voice barely above a whisper. “They show that Austin’s DNA matches Ariel’s. She’s his biological mother.” Suddenly, Ariel’s lawyer walks into the rescue with a file in his hand. “Well, this has no names

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

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
