91. Wounded side

As Chase stepped further into the kitchen, his presence seemed to cast a shadow over the room, and his eyes narrowed as he took in the scene before him. Jada's hand trembled from the burn as she blinked back tears, and Beatrice stood there, her stern expression unwavering. "What did you just say to her?" Chase repeated, his voice growing stern and demanding. Taking aback by the coldness in his tone, Mrs. Aniston's gaze shifted from Jada to her grandson, and a sly smile crept onto her lips. "Oh, my dear Chase, I was just making a simple observation. It seems that dear Jada here couldn't even manage to bake a batch of biscuits without burning herself. I was merely wondering if she's cut out for the responsibilities of a wife." But Chase ignored her words, and without a moment's hesitation, he dashed across the kitchen, closing the distance between them in an instant. Hugging her wrist, Jada stood there, clutching her singed hand, tears welling in her eyes, asking, "Are you okay?" W

92. I'm sorry

That morning, as Evalin bustled around the kitchen, preparing to make breakfast for Jada and her boss, Chase strode into the room, his usually stoic face adorned with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Evalin," Chase began, his voice carrying a setting excitement that shocked her, "I'm going to be the one preparing breakfast for Jada this morning." Dropping the spoon, Evalin's eyes widened in disbelief. She had heard him correctly, hadn't she? The idea of Chase, the man who rarely even made himself a cup of coffee, stepping into the kitchen to cook breakfast was nothing short of astonishing. And her fellow maids, who were in the kitchen then, exchanged skeptical glances. Since they had been working for him, Chase had never done anything of the sort for anyone, not even himself. He was the kind of person who could afford to have an entire staff catering to his every need. The maids and staff had often wondered if there was anyone in the world who could crack the exterior of the formid

93. Break up

As Jada stepped out of the elegant dining room, her heart pounded with curiosity and annoyance, and she felt hesitant to answer her cousin's call. Yet she did and couldn't help but glance back at the shut dining room door. "Hello?" Jada's voice was tentative. "Jada, it's me, Maria," came her cousin's voice from the other end. With a furrowed brow, Jada felt a wave of unease wash over her. She hadn't spoken to Maria in a while, and their last interaction had been far from pleasant. "What do you want?" Jada asked cautiously, her guard up. There was a moment of silence on the other end, and Jada could almost feel Maria's hesitation. Then, finally, Maria spoke, her voice sounding almost desperate. "Jada, we need to meet up. It's important." There was a long pause, and Jada couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the urgency in Maria's voice. "Meet up? Why should I? After all the trouble you and your father have caused me? How do I know this isn't some sort of trap to hurt me?" Jada a

94. A well-guarded secret

As Melissa watched Jada's eyes, she seemed to relish in her discomfort, her triumphant smile never leaving her face, saying, "Yes, it was pretty unexpected for me, too, but she made it clear that I'm the one he's meant to be with. She's been grooming me to be a part of their family." As Melissa continued to berate Jada with her haughty words, the tension in the lobby grew intense. Melissa's tone became increasingly condescending as she attempted to undermine Jada's confidence. "Oh, Jada," Melissa sneered, "you must be so proud of yourself for snaring a man like Chase, but let's not kid ourselves. He's just been slumming it with you, and it's time for him to return to where he truly belongs." Scowling at her, Jada felt her patience waning, but she took a deep breath and reminded herself that she was not going to stoop to Melissa's level. Instead, she straightened her posture, her resolve hardening as she remembered her worth. Just as Melissa was about to unleash another wave of ins

95. So damn secretive

Silently, Jada sat in her office at HH headquarters, engrossed in her work. The day had been filled with meetings, negotiations, and the usual hustle and bustle of running a successful corporation. Suddenly, her phone buzzed, interrupting her train of thought, and she picked it up, expecting another business call or message, and a sigh left her lip. "Ms. Hudson, there's a call for you," Gifty informed her. Hesitantly, Jada raised an eyebrow. It was unusual to receive a call directly on her office line, especially when her secretary usually screened her calls. "Who is it?" "It's from the personal assistant of Mr. Derry Lennon, the CEO of FUELIFY," Gifty replied. Immediately, Jada's interest was piqued. FUELIFY was a well-known energy company, and any potential business opportunity with them could be significant. "Put her through." A moment later, a polite and professional voice came through the line. "Good afternoon, Miss Hudson. My name is Emily, and I'm the personal assistant t

96. It's too late

The sun had barely begun to cast its golden rays over the sprawling grounds of Lennon Haven as Maria and Melissa arrived at the luxurious resort. Melissa, dressed in a designer skirt that oozed sophistication, stepped out of her black Ford Jeep, and Maria, despite her uneasiness about the meeting, followed closely behind. They entered the resort and were greeted by no one, and the halls of the inn felt like a haunted ghost house. The two women made their way through the lobby. As they settled into a private corner of the resort security room, watching the cameras of every room in the empty resort, Melissa initiated the conversation, her eyes glinting with excitement. "It's seven. Two more hours for Jada to get here." Melissa said, drinking the tea already set for their arrival. Setting the cup down, a sly smile crept across her face as she said, "Excellent. Once she's inside the mansion, we will have her right where we want her. But timing is crucial. We need to ensure that the tr

97. Jada must die.

The approaching footsteps grew louder, their rhythm echoing through the grand hall of Lennon Haven. Jada's heart pounded in her chest as she watched the shadows inch closer, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty. Rushing toward Jada, Rob and Rolex stood like unwavering sentinels in front of her, forming a protective barrier. Their faces were etched with rage, ready to confront whatever danger lurked ahead. Hiding behind them, Jada felt a mixture of gratitude and anxiety as she realized they were willing to risk everything to protect her. The men finally emerged from the shades, and it was a chilling sight for her. Their faces were obscured by shadows, and their movements were deliberate and predatory. Each man held a gleaming knife in hand, the cold steel glinting cruelly in the dim light of the grand hall. Jada's breath caught in her throat as she took in their eerie, unsettling smiles. It was as if they relished the fear and helplessness that radiated from her and her bodygu

98. Don't leave me

The soft hum of hospital machinery filled the room as Jada slowly blinked her eyes open. She felt disoriented and weak, her body heavy and her mind foggy. As her vision cleared, she realized she was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by sterile walls and equipment. Slowly, a sense of panic and confusion washed over her as she tried to piece together what had happened. But her memories were a jumbled mess, like shards of glass scattered on the floor of her mind. Slightly, Jada turned her head and saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair beside her bed. It was Chase. His face was etched with worry, and his eyes were fixed on her, filled with a mixture of relief and concern. At first, she tried to speak, to apologize for the mess she had brought into his life, but no words came out. Her throat felt dry and scratchy as if she hadn't spoken in ages. She cleared her throat and tried again, her voice a mere whisper, "Chase..." With a smile, he leaned forward, his expression softening with u

99. His medical result

When Jada said nothing, Chase knew he wasn't going to get the truth out of her, at least not now. The weight of their tangled emotions seemed overwhelming, and he could see the fear in her eyes, the fear of losing him, the fear of the consequences of her actions. Gently, Chase eased himself out of the wheelchair, wincing as he put weight on his injured leg. He moved onto the bed beside Jada and pulled her into his arms, despite the discomfort, holding her close. "I am not going to force you. When you feel like the time is right, you can tell me everything," Chase said softly, his breath tickling the strands of Jada's hair as he spoke. While they lay together in the hospital room, their fingers intertwined, Jada took a deep breath and looked into Chase's eyes. "Chase, there's something I need to tell you," she started, her gaze locked on his. "I know you've been through a lot, and I don't want to add to your worries, but I believe it's time for you to know the truth about why I

100. Good news

With a sigh, Jada's gaze dropped to Chase, her heart sinking as she realized the difficult situation she had found herself in. She swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she mumbled, "Jacob, I can explain..." "Explain? You have got a lot of guts, Jada! Chase has a bruised spinal cord because of you! He's in a damn wheelchair, and you're sitting here acting like everything's fine?" Jacob cut her off, his voice rising. Instantly, Jada gasped, her sob got caught in her throat, and as Jacob frowned at her emotional outburst, his eyes burned with anger as he looked at Jada, his hands still clenched in fists by his sides. Trying to not lose his mind, Chase finally spoke up, his voice surprisingly steady. "Jacob, please calm down. Jada and I were just talking." "Talking? Is that what you call it? Chase, you're not thinking clearly right now. She's the reason you're in this state and the last person you should be talking to." Jacob scoffed, his anger unabated. "You guys show just break up
