CALISTA RAYMONDS I walked behind him as Sophia had explained, he just finishes eating his dinner and seriously I don't like him a bit.He didn't apprehend our presence and I wonder what he does to other girls before I got here. We had to stand close to the wall and watch him eat, he didn't find fault in the food and mere looking at Sophia, I can see she's happy about that. Chase didn't for once, look over at us. He just made us seem invisible. Isabella and Sophia start cleaning up the dinner while I walk with Chase. Getting to the door of his room ,I did as I was told. I stood outside the door and Chase goes in first. He didn't get into the bathroom immediately as I heard him on call... I stood out there for about sixteen minutes until I hear the bell ring. I still have my glove and mask on. I inputted the password and the door opened. I got in but didn't see Chase so I assumed the bell says he has turned off the shower. I walked to the closet and there was lot of cream
"Yep! As we heard... They went on a trip and the girl took a bullet for him when they got attacked by some men, it is said that he's been looking for the gun men and will fight them with his last blood" Sophia said . "That's sad. I just ask before I put Amelia to the right position she's supposed to be in.""Did she hit you or something?" "No! She's just feeling challenged and came to warn me to stay away from Chase, I mean who does that?" I hissed. "I don't know what's wrong with Amelia, she's just a low life bully and I wonder why Chase haven't gotten rid of her" "Anyways, I need some rest now. Talk to you guys later""They'll be bringing in your cloths tonight" Isabella announces to me and I just nodded. I am already feeling sick and stressed out. I miss my parents and wondered how my mother will be doing, my father can get over things like this easily but my mother, it'd be extremely hard for her and I hope she doesn't do anything stupid to herself. I don't know
Rowan and Chase enters the club and immediately the sluts saw them, they started throwing their self on them but they know better to look at Chase's expression before touching him.Rowan wave them away as he wasn't really into whores. Chase and he walked over to the VIP and everyone present sit up to greet Chase and he just waves at them as they continued dancing and having fun. "I thought you won't be able to make it tonight" Gray, Chase's right hand solider said shaking him."I had to" Chase simply said and sat down. "Hey Rowan. It's been long you last drop by, good to see you again" He smiled at him and he nodded, hand shaking him. Rowan already know why Chase was here, whenever he meets with Gray at a club it's always to get updates about his research on what happened to his dead girlfriend. "Any news?" He asked and Gray eyed Rowan and he noticed the sign but acted cool."He's my brother , why hide anything?" Chase said. Chase had hated Waylen ever since Madison's de
"What are you doing out this late?" It was Rowan asking and Chase just stared at me with a straight face. "Uhmm... I, just came to grab some water" I replied biting my lower lips."Water isn't in the sitting room rather in the kitchen" Chase snapped and start walking to my direction. I stood there wishing the ground could open and cover me. The only thing in my mind is the punishment he'll give me. I could've just stay in the room instead of coming out here and to add to it, I just lied. I shallow the saliva in my mouth and waited for the worst. Chase got to where I was standing and without a word he walked upstairs leaving me standing there with Rowan looking at me. Rowan waited until Chase disappear into his room before he turn to me."I know you lied" He calmly said and walks towards me. "You're the lady I bumped into early, huh?" He asked and I just nodded finding it hard to look him in the eyes."Am Rowan, I'm sure you know me" he smiled and that was when I notic
"Hey wait up Sophia,Isa" I said running to them as they made their way to the room without a word to me. They were only glaring at me after Chase's announcement. I entered the room and both of them were sitting down."Hey, why are you both ignoring me. You were there when he made the decision himself. It's not like I forced him to" I cried. They have been so good to me since I came here , they made things easy for me and seeing their sad faces broke my heart. They are one of the reason I didn't really think much about home. They treated me like a sister and made me not notice the absence of my family. "We never said you forced him. Or do you?" Isabella said with a little devilish smirk. "No! No I didn't, why will you even think of that. You know even if I did there's no way he'll even give me a listening ear. C'mon, Sophia...""Calista, no one said this is your fault but.. is there anything you ain't telling us?" I raised my brows and then scoff. Now, they seem har
CALISTA RAYMONDS It's night and the bell had ring, I stood up from the bed and walked out, heading to Chase's room. The house is already quiet and calm. I entered Chase's room after ringing the door bell. He wasn't in the room and the room is a little messy with ashes of cigarette on the floor and clothes scattered everywhere. I don't know if it's my duty, but I'm gonna do it anyways. I started by arranging the bed and arranging the clothes, I was able to pick out the dirty one's by smelling it. Even though it doesn't stink, but I could tell it's dirty cause the scent was a little bit faded. I arranged the clean clothes in the closet and took the dirty ones to the washing machine. I am now cleaning the floor when he entered the room. I stood up from the floor immediately. He stared at me like he's suprised to see me and I swallowed. Seeing him always makes me nervous and I hate to admit he keep getting hot every single day. "Where are the maids?" He asked and I widened
CALISTA RAYMONDS It was already getting late at night and I had been in my room doing absolutely nothing when I heard some noises and I can't tell if it's outside the room or not but the noise was close. I got down from the pretty bed I couldn't get enough of and wear my flip flop then steps out of my room. I was about passing Chase's when I heard smashing of glasses and a groan.I literally got scared as I don't know if he's under attack or what. The room wasn't closed so I don't need to input his passcode to make it into the room. I slowly opened the door and just then another glass was thrown and it fall just some steps away from me but when it shattered the pieces got to me. Nearly screaming, I closed back the door in horror as I have never see Chase that way. My heart started beating faster than usual as I laid back at the door."Fucking psychos!!!" I heard him scream again and something like a punch on the wall. I opened the door again and saw him just standing
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 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
