Lahat ng Kabanata ng JESSIE'S CHASE: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

"It's Mary, Sir.""What is it Mary?" Chase asked striding back into his closet.Jessie frowned while wondering just what Mary wanted from Chase so early in the morning."I wanted you to know that Diana, the chef has prepared your breakfast, Sir," Mary replied from outside the room."I'll take care of that myself, you can leave now Mary," Jessie couldn't help but reply.Chase returned to the room from his closet with black shorts and a shirt in his hand, quirking his brows at her in question and Jessie frowned at him asking, "Since when did Mary become your personal maid? Why does she have to come personally to your room to tell you about breakfast?""Darling, why don't we discuss about your response to my kisses right now? I find that a much more interesting line of conversation, don't you think?" Chase smiled."You know what? I'll leave you to get dressed," Jessie replied, covering her eyes and leaving the room as though she hadn't been looking at his towel clad body just moments ago

"What do you mean?" Jessie asked."Have you ever wondered why my restaurants are sometimes called C&R and then C&H at other times?""That's because your family has them in different cities all across Europe?" Jessie's reply sounded almost like a question."No, the truth is that my father named the restaurant after my elder brother, Richard and I at first when they were both in charge. After Richard's death, I decided to change it to C&H.""I thought you said you had no siblings, how come you have an elder brother?" "I wasn't ready to tell the world about my family. They weren't keen on my musical career. Dad wanted me to help Richard with the restaurants. At the time, I had zero interest in C&R, so I asked them to make a choice, either they let me do music or they let me go entirely," Chase said in a pained voice."Mr Reed seemed like a very supportive father at the party last week. What option did he choose?" Jessie said."Only because I'm finally doing what he wanted after Richard

It was their last vacation day and to be honest, Jessie had never felt more happy than she had during this vacation in Rio with Chase and the twins.Everyday felt amazing, they had gone snorkeling, swimming, surfing, hiking, skateboarding, roller skating, dancing, racing, boating and a whole lot of other activities.Chase had even taught her to build sandcastles. Now Jessie simply felt bad about leaving the next day.It only meant that she had to face her real life in London. Her job at Tasty and most importantly, Lenore's demands for publishing that new gossip article about Chase. That was the scariest part of returning home.Over the past days during their vacation, Chris and Crystal had formed a stronger bond with Jessie. She was so glad that they didn't feel the need to hide their identity in front of her anymore.It was very nice to have them treat her like a mother to them. Chase had been so nice and Jessie felt like she belonged to their family even more than she did with her p

Jessie woke up the next morning to the sound of her phone ringing. It was Chanel calling."Jessie have you seen it yet?" Chanel asked the moment she answered the call."Seen what?" Jessie queried rubbing her eyes sleepily.It was only a few minutes past six and she couldn't understand what Chanel was talking about."The article. It was you, right? I didn't know you were going to take it that far," she yelled."Take what far? I simply talked about Chase's twins, that was all. I haven't seen it myself," she replied."Well, you better look it up. There are lots of pictures of the kids scattered everywhere. The article is a bit too detailed, it describes Chase negatively as some sort of negligent parent.""I never wrote such things. What pictures are you talking about. I never sent her any pictures of them. I hope Lenore didn't tweak a little too much. What if Chase finds out that it was me?"Just as she said the final statement, Mary walked into the room without knocking."You know what?

"Can I have your attention, everyone?" Chase asked, as he took the stage.All the guests and members of the press, fixed their eyes on him, expectantly."I want to address the recent article concerning I and my family which appeared on this week's publication of The Whispers Column of Tasty Magazine. I'm sure you're all curious as to whether those things printed are true or not. I'm going to explain everything now.""Mr Reed, does this mean that the information in that article holds some truth?" One reporter asked in a loud voice."Yes, Sir. Tell us, were you ever an addict?" "Is it true that you are a womaniser? It it also true that you neglect the children rumoured to be adopted by you?" The questions kept coming from the reporters.The hall was filled with tension and whispering from the guests present. Chase calmed them down with a wave of his hand."Relax everyone. I would tell you this, I have never abused any drug. I was only very stressed towards the end of my career and then
