Chase walked out of his bedroom after getting ready, he had woken up twenty minutes ago after he got a call. He had woken up to see Calista sleeping next to him, she is sitting on a chair with her head on the bed and fast asleep. Chase didn't want to wake her up or disturb her so he just carried her to the bed and covered her with the duvet.He had just gotten a call from one of his men that the men Waylen gave the task of shipping the drugs across the country have been attacked and the drugs missing. Chase couldn't hold onto the amount of fury he feels inside him. He got outside his apartment and the car is already ready waiting for him. He entered and his driver ignited the car engine before driving off with two other cars behind them. It was a one hour drive until they got to the warehouse. The driver got down and opened the door for him to get down which he did.Without a word, Chase made his way into his father's warehouse. He hardly comes over to the warehouse sin
CALISTA RAYMONDS I stretch my body and yawn , I don't know what time it is but I know I woke up late. I opened my eyes and noticed I wasn't in my room.Flashing back to last night, I remembered to have falling asleep watching Chase. I couldn't deny the feeling I feel from last night while watching him sleep. His cute face and his handsomeness is something no one can resist.Not for too long. But who could've thought that the Mafia Chase gets worked up because of a girl? I don't know the full story about his past relationship but I could already tell that he must've loved his dead girlfriend a lot to not get over her too easily. And it must've hurt him more than it should be that he didn't find her killers.Whatever that happened... I think Chase have to let go of the grudge, even if he can avenge her death, there's no way he can achieve that if he hates himself.I stood up from the bed, Chase wasn't in the room and there's no sign that shows he might be around. Waking
CALISTA RAYMONDSI walk out of the library after dusting myself and made to the sitting room. Chase is already there and having his breakfast like nothing had happened. Not knowing if I'm to sit on the same dining room chair with him or I'm supposed to have my food in my room.But my mind is made up and the only thing I could think of is just to keep pissing him off until he gets so sick of me. The two things in my mind now, is to find an escape route and while trying to find my route, I need to make him feel tormented by me.Without thinking much about what he'd say, I walked to the dinner table and draw out a chair and sat down. Surprisingly, Chase didn't even look up to me nor say a word. Nah! Not like I care if he does.A maid came up to me and help dish out the rice to my plate. I started eating. Stealing glances at Chase who was eating and pressing his phone at the same time.I couldn't help but hate and love him at the same time. I love him for how cute he is and I k
Chase grab the vase on his side table and hit it on the floor, breaking it in the process. He's so mad."How could she talk to him rudely" He had resisted the urge to hit her the one time she called him a bitter man. But he can't hit a Woman, not when Madison hated it. But he's so pissed and wondered on what to do to her for her to know her place. Within the few days she's been with him, he disliked her her authority. She talks back at him without any atom of fear or respect and no matter how he tried to punish her.. he just couldn't bring himself to.Somehow , Calista had reminded him so much of Madison and that was the reason he had to make her stay while he set others free. Her confidence reminds him alot about Madison. Madison had never allowed any one look down at her no matter the position you're in, and that's one of the mean things that draw him to her.Too bad she didn't stay longer. Chase shattered his hair and untie his tie then fall back on the bed. "You are
Chase walked into the dungeon and his soldiers who was guarding the cell immediately bowed to him. "Open the door" He instructed and they nodded.Tyrell, his personal guard was tagging along behind him. The soldiers obeyed him and opened the cell, Chase walked in. The dungeon was built underground, so it's not easy for someone not living in the house to find or notice the dungeon. "Tell me all you know" Chase tells the man calmly bringing out a chair.The man before him, was already wounded as he has different cuts on his face and is bleeding. Maybe he gave the soldiers a hard time and they've to drag him all the day .He stared at Chase without opening his mouth or saying a word. Chase sighed.He was already getting pissed , he's so angered especially after hearing a slave with no respect call him bitter. "What do you know?" Chase asked again but the man didn't bug."He haven't said a word since we brought him in" Tyrell whispered to Chase. "Argh .. did you lost your t
CALISTA RAYMONDS"What do you mean?" I asked him nervously unsure of what I heard. "Yunno, I know it'd be pretty bored for you staying at Chase's alone without anyone to talk to""Mhhm. The only two friends I know left three days ago". I told him. "Okay then, Yunno? Maybe I can talk to Chase to put you in college?" He said and I turned to look at him. I already finished licking my ice cream. Hearing Rowan talk to me about college nearly made me cry.That was my dream!. I couldn't go to college because I have to start supporting my parents after I left highschool.I had always dreamt to go back to college and sometimes I envy the college students but I know I can't go because my parents can't afford it. I don't even care if it's online college lessons, I can still graduate with the same result as other's. But hearing Rowan talk to me about it, I really wanted to yell yes to him but I don't want to get too attached.I turned to him and sniff, trying to push back the tears th
Chase arrived at the Pub Crawl and Tyrell was already there. "Hey Boss" Tyrell waved at him as he walked and pull out a seat, sitting down.The environment was calm and there was no one around. "So...what did you find?" Chase asked without wasting time. Tyrell brought out a picture from his phone and show it to Chase. "Do you recognize him?" Tyrell asked and Chase told him no.Tyrell went ahead to explain to Chase who the person is. "The fingerprint is that of him. I don't know if he have a connection to what happened, but if his fingerprint is in the neck of one of Godfather's soldier, then he knows something" "Have you sent for the soldiers to get him?" Chase asked and Tyrell shakes his head negatively."I though it'd be best to show you first." "I want to see him in my dungeon tomorrow morning. " Chase said.They shake hands and parted ways. Chase walk into his car and started the engine then drive off. THE NEXT MORNINGChase stepped into Mr. John's apartment with h
CALISTA RAYMONDS Morning again , and I have to wake up with no plan for the day other than just sit and do anything.I woke up with a banging on my head and I feel terribly sick. I tried sitting up from the bed but I noticed I couldn't even move my body. Touching my neck with my hand, I realized that my body was heating up.There's no possible way I can get help if I don't get out of the bed. But I couldn't even move myself.. Sighing, I led back on the bed and wince in pain as my head keep banging me.I don't remember feeling sick last night after my night out with Rowan, so I don't actually understand what's wrong. I reached for the android I saw on the side table. I haven't notice that there's a phone there or maybe, there wasn't a phone there before.It's 12:06PM! I almost exclaimed but I couldn't move my lips. I have been on my bed since morning and it's afternoon already. And that was when I realize how sick I was.___ "She needs lot of rest and she need to start spe
CALISTA LUCIA PROFACI "You were brave and you fought to the very end. I know you're happy where ever you are. I know you meet your sister already... We all miss you over here!" I dropped the flower on the grave of Charlotte and stood there for the next couple of minutes. Today makes it 2 years since she died and truth be told, I've never been able to get rid of the thought about her. We didn't get to spend time together as friends, but the little while with her was great. Charlotte was amazing and a brave lady and I adore her so much for that. Three Years Ago, the doctor had told us Charlotte was in Coma and might or might not survive but if she do survive, chances of brain damage was high. I didn't know which was better - Her waking up and not knowing any single thing about the world , more like being a baby again or just staying in Coma? It was after 8 months of Charlotte not waking up that the Doctor finally broke it down to us that she had died a night earlier. I was devast
EPILOGUECALISTA RAYMONDSMy whole body felt like lead. My head was pounding and my hands were detached. Groaning I tried to remember what happened. Flashes accumulated in my head as I remembered being shot. Let me put it out here, getting shot is the most painful shit ever.I remembered falling to the ground as Charlotte loud voice filled my ears. She was struggling to get up as I saw the man Edward picking up his gun again to shoot. My back was already bleeding from the bullet that was impaled in my body." Stay away from her. You dirty bagshit" Charlotte yelled as she struggled to get up. There was a gunshot again and I closed my eyes welcoming death when I felt someone drop beside me. It was Charlotte!. She took a bullet for me.That scene blurred and the next thing I knew, I could see flashes of gunshots as bullets rained down the place.... A lot of people were shouting and there were a lot of yelling as I closed my eyes again. Charlotte's head was still resting on my back. I
CHASE GOTTIFinally we were back at my mansion, Emma was crying softly and she was being comforted by Waylen who was hugging her.Rowan on the other hand, was with a girl who was hugging him. I had never seen her before but I knew one thing, if she was here with the family, she has to be very important to him.This was the moment that I wished that Calista was here. She had called me earlier but I didn't know why she was calling because she disconnected the call on purpose.I didn't call her back because I was busy trying to get my father's body to the morgue and now my brothers and I were back home discussing how to revenge.This was going to be a bloody war. We already have men and ammunition and we had decided to strike the next morning before they could expect it.I took a deep inhale on my cigar and drank it down with liquor. I wasn't going to get drunk anytime soon I was just washing down the pain, finding out the real killers of Madison, watching my father die before my ey
CHARLOTTE "You are....a.....monster" I croaked out as I dragged myself towards the table. Grayson was standing and holding the gun. Hours ago, he shot me right in my laps and I have been bleeding out ever since. Ever since the initial shock, he left me to scream for hours due to the pain until I fell asleep.Then he woke me up roughly and I saw that he was with his father Edward and both of them had forced me into making a call. Bringing Calista here so that they could end her.I refused but they tortured me and promised me a slow death so I had no choice. I tried to give Calista a clue when I told her don't come secretly and call Chase. Luckily the men didn't bother to pay that much attention but it was vague.Knowing Calista, I knew that she would come here definitely and she would come all alone. She always hated depending on people and she would not start now at accept help."A monster? You are the one responsible for your twin death. Sometimes I wonder, what do you do to cope
CALISTA RAYMONDSI had ignored my dad after I got home. I had nothing to say to him anyways. He may be a Mafia but he wasn't my mother.....not my real mother anyways. This type of stuffs were discussed mostly with mothers. Besides if he found out that I was crying because of Chase, he would just order for him to be executed which would make it more worse. Or prevent him from seeing me ever again. So my dad was a no go option and May and I weren't that close enough to talk to her. True, she wasn't like that evil step mother's that always hated their step kids but this was a new territory for me. I barely knew her. I stayed in my room the entire day. I didn't come out for lunch and my dad and his wife May had no choice but to leave me alone. I had spent the entire morning sobbing my eyes out and now I was just numb.I brought out my phone, Chase hasn't called me back. I wondered what he was doing now that he wouldn't get back to me. I dropped the phone back. There was no need pining
CHASE GOTTI"Where is father?" I asked as soon as I saw Rowan and Waylen. "The doctor is inside with him. They are doing their best, although he was hurt badly. " Rowan said as I slid to the floor."Do you think he will survive?" I asked but as expected, I didn't get any reply."I got coffee." I heard Emma say as she walked towards us holding four coffee cups. I immediately thought about what Calista told me about her being pregnant and I could not help but glance at her stomach. It still look normal, it was normal for Waylen not to say anything now. So I pretended I didn't know."Chase you are here finally. Where is Calista?. I got coffee for each and every one of you. Why did you not bring her along?" She asked as I shrugged."Umm, it didn't really bother me then. Besides she is tired " I lied. I had no idea where Calista was, if she had gone home or if she was still in the penthouse or if she was looking for me. I took one of the coffee and drank as she gave to the rest.J
CALISTA RAYMONDSI still couldn't believe what happened. What started as a happy breakfast between Chase and I turned into a sudden disaster and he left me here without an explanation. I was feeling bad. I knew that Madison was his first love but seeing him react the way he did, made me wonder if he had truly gotten over her. I felt terrible for trying to compete against a dead person here but I had no choice but to feel that way.I called Chase countless times but he never picked any of my calls. He had gone out with the car and I had no idea where he was headed. He had told me to go back home and in as much I didn't want to. I had no choice so I sighed and called my dad."Hey pumpkin, how are you? Is everything alright?' he said as I sighed and replied,"Yes everything is okay. Can you send Carl to come and pick me from Chase's penthouse. I want to come home." I said as my dad quickly said,"Why is that? Did something happen? Why can't Chase take you home? Did you two fight? Talk
EMMANUELLE"Well what's the news?" Waylen said pacing around in the huge living room making me nervous. He was asking the doctors who were all taking out a test on me. He had insisted in being there which was so cute and romantic and also annoying because the doctors were all ladies and were intimidated by the guns and guards that was pointing at them."Babe, allow the doctors to work. You are giving them tension. They are scared of you. Please " I said as he looked at me and sighed,"I am nervous too. I want to know the answer and I also want to see what they are doing to you. What if I leave you alone with them and they hurt you. What will become of me? " He said as he held my hands and gave me baby eyes."There is nothing that will happen to me. Okay. I promise. We are going to be fine but if you keep on pacing, I am going to be stressed out also." I said with a smile as he nodded his head and kept quiet."We are done with the test , congratulations sir. She is a month and some wee
CHASEI was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for Calista who was still in bed when I heard someone say,"Hello handsome. You are awake?" I smiled because I knew that it was Calista that was at my back..she walked closer and wrapped her hands around my waist and hugged me."Good morning Calista. How was your night? Hope you slept well? I thought you would be asleep for a little while longer. I wanted to serve you in bed. Seems I miscalculated your exhaustion." I said as she turned to face me and said,"I slept like a baby after last night. Just sore in some places. But it wasn't your fault. Emma called me She had some big news that she wanted to tell me and it couldn't wait," She said as I nodded my head and replied,"I wonder what kind of news that she wanted to tell you that it couldn't wait. It's barely 8 am. I hope everything is okay between the two of you. " She smiled and gave me a big hug and said,"Yes everything is alright. After all it is a good news if you say so. I don't
