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
Staring at the Calista from behind and seeing how peaceful and calm she is. Chase couldn't resist to say no to her request. If going to college is what she truly wants , then he'll grant her that desire.But he isn't sure if he can protect her. What if his enemies find out there's a new slave he's letting out and try attacking her? He'd make her start online class then. He's tired of causing pains to others. He needs to learn to protect himself and everyone around him.Chase walk to where Calista was sitting , and went to sit on the couch opposite her. Calista was taken aback when she saw him, but she didn't say a word and pretended to focus on the movie whileas she wasn't, not anymore.Not with Chase sitting over there with his eyes on her. "How're you feeling?" Chase broke the silence and Calista turn to look at him."I'm getting better. Thank you" She calmly replied. There's another moment of silence, each trying to read each other's mind. Calista had come to notice som
CALISTA RAYMONDS It been one week since I started college, everything have just been going well except that there are some bullies who just can't accept there's a new student.My first day in school wasn't as tough as I had imagined it to be. When I got there, I was first directed to the registrar and I was informed that everything have been sorted out by my Boss.At the end of every day, Tyrell and the driver would come pick me. Recently , Chase travelled and it's two days. We'll be coming back today.Switching off the television, i sigh before walking to the kitchen to get some snacks from the fridge. It's weekend and I'm bored being in here but there's no way to go. I use to chat with Tyrell when I'm bored but he left with Chase and said they've some business which urgently needed their attention.I grab some yogurt and a biscuit from the fridge before I walk back to the sitting room. I have been watching the movies since morning and my eyes already feel so heavy. Placing
Calista heard some voices outside the house, standing up from the bed she looked outside the window, It was Chase! Not knowing why, but she felt excited and glad he's home. She smiled and stand up from the bed then opened her door and walk out. Walking downstairs, Calista stop when she heard a voice , it was Chase and the lady from earlier."I have been waiting for you to come back home, I didn't know you traveled." "I didn't know you're back in Russia too, you should have call me or Rowan" Chase told her."Well I'm here now, I missed you" She whined and hug Chase. Chase hugged her back and smile. "I thought Rowan said Chase hadn't been in any other relationship since after Madison?" Calista muttered.She don't want to believe what she is feeling. It can't be possible, not so soon. Is she jealous? No, she's not. Perhaps she's just curious on how Chase hugged back the lady. Not wanting to greet Chase again, Calista turn to walk back to her room but stopped when she heard
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
