21. Fully aware

The longer Jada lay in Chase's arms, the more her body stiffened, as if a taut wire had been pulled tight within her. Her muscles tensed, betraying her unease, and Chase couldn't help but notice the slight change. He shifted his gaze downward, meeting her fluttering lashes with concern etched across his features. "Can you relax?" Chase said, his voice laced with gentle humor, attempting to break the thick tension that had settled between them. His attempt at silliness was met with widened eyes from Jada, her pupils dilating like a startled deer caught in the piercing gaze of a predator. Every fiber of her being screamed for her to flee, to escape the unfamiliar territory of vulnerability that Chase had unknowingly ushered her into because it was giving her feelings that she didn't know if he was in the position for. As if sensing her internal struggle, Chase's grip on her tightened ever so slightly. A fleeting smile tugged at the corners of his lips as she whispered, "Ain't you

22. Spies

Even though Jada frowned, she didn't want to argue with Chase. So she took his hand, intertwining their fingers, and they left the room together. When they finally reached the vast yard, Chase commanded the guard standing by the gate, "Open up." The gate automatically pulled open, revealing a man standing on the other side, and then he hurried inside. He appeared nervous, his hands fidgeting as he anxiously glanced at Jada. Sensing his unease, Jada stepped back slightly, seeking solace behind Chase's protective stance. "Who are you?" Jada asked, her eyes tinged with both caution and curiosity. The man glared at the bodyguard and then took a deep breath, gathering his composure. "I am Mr. Clark," he replied, his voice laced with respect and sadness. "I was your late father's trusted advisor, and yours... at least, before the incident." With a side-eye at Chase, Jada's brows furrowed, and she mumbled, "Before the incident?" Watching the confusion in her expression, Mr. Clark's e

23. So much like your father

That morning, as Jada gracefully moved around the kitchen, her nimble fingers danced across the cutting board, skillfully chopping vegetables with precision. The tantalizing aroma of herbs and spices filled the air, mingling with the soft melody of sizzling pans. The maids, her eyes wide with awe, observed Jada's every move, captivated by how quickly she had learned. Then the maids caught Chase's figure from the corner of their eyes, and they were about to greet him, but he put his fingers to his mouth, nudging his head for them to leave him alone. They immediately understood his warning and left the kitchen in haste, beaming at each other, silently gossiping with their eyes. So deep into her cooking, Jada didn't notice the empty kitchen, and she jumped, screaming when Chase wrapped his arms around her waist. As Chase's arms tightened around her, Jada's heart raced, his touch sending a flurry of butterflies fluttering in her stomach. She turned around, her eyes meeting his, an

24. The night you got shot

When Jada stepped outside, the cool breeze kissed her skin, causing a shiver to run down her spine. As her eyes adjusted to the brightness of the day, she noticed a group of men dressed in sleek black suits standing in a tight formation. Their presence was intimidating, their posture rigid, and their aura seemed to crackle with an unspoken power. Two of the men stepped forward. The taller of the two, a man with a rugged appearance and a no-nonsense demeanor, introduced himself as Rob. His companion, Rolex, was slightly shorter but exuded a treacherous vibe. "We are your new bodyguards, Ms. Jada," Rob stated. "Our boss has issued a direct order for your protection, and we're here to ensure your safety." "All of you?" she mumbled under her breath. The words escaped her lips before she could stop them. Side-eyeing his partner, Rolex took a step forward, his gaze unyielding. "Yes, ma'am. Our boss doesn't want to take any chances-" "Miss, this is a direct order from our boss. We hav

25. Unraveling the Mystery

For the longest, Jada's mind raced as Mr. Clark's words swirled through her thoughts. Her memories remained elusive as the feeling of unease and suspicion grew more vigorous. "I... I don't remember anything," she replied cautiously, "but what you're saying is troubling. Leon becoming vice chairman so quickly after my parents' death does seem suspicious. And the fact that I don't love him... I can't shake this feeling that something isn't right." "I have a theory about why you woke up from a coma and your feelings disappeared for him..." Mr. Clark said, hesitating for a moment. "You see, the night you got shot, you called me, crying on the phone that Leon was cheating on you, and he was doing so with no other than your uncle Andrew's daughter, Maria Hudson. You said that he had been stealing from you. Millions of dollars were missing from your accounts. And that you now know that he has a gambling habit..." Over and over, Jada repeated to herself, as if speaking the words aloud mig

26. Boardroom Power Shift

The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, and Jada emerged onto the top floor. Her men trailed behind her, their footsteps echoing in the hushed corridor. As they approached the boardroom, Emily rose from her seat and rushed over to Jada with a nervous grin, saying, "Mrs. Kingsley, Mr. Kingsley is not in the building right now. Is there anything you want to say to him? You can relay the message to me, and I will pass it to him when he gets back." "It's Miss Hudson... I see you have served my ex-husband well, lying to my face about his behavior and whereabouts." Jada glared at Emily, her expression twisted in disgust. "If I walked into the board room and found Leon there, should I fire you, huh?" A sense of nervousness flooded the young secretary's body. She gulped and then gave an unconvincing reply. "Well, Miss Hudson, I don't think that is a good idea..." But before the secretary could finish speaking, Jada moved past her and into the conference room, followed by her bodyg

27. Authority Challenged

Watching their faces, Jada's eyes flashed with anger, and she stepped forward, her men following closely behind. Then she lashed out, "I may have lost my memories, but I never lost my determination. I will fight for what's mine and not let anyone stand in my way." "Then you will drag this company down with your disgusting lifestyle. A chair lady who can't remember a damn thing about her past, who sleeps around, and is divorced... Who would respect a corporation led by someone like that?" Another board member sneered. The sixteen men moved for him, but Jada raised her hand, stopping them in their tracks. Then she looked Mr. Maxwell in his eyes with a smirk before raising her hand and smacking her palm across his face, the sound echoing through the room. In a rage, he jumped to his feet, but two men stepped forward, blocking his path. Jada stood tall, her eyes blazing with fury as he glared at her, squeezing his fists, and then she released another slap in his ear while Rob and Rolex

28. You will pay

The room fell silent as Jada's words hung in the air. All eyes turned to her, and she stood tall, her hand still raised in defiance. Slowly, each board member lowered their gaze, avoiding Jada's piercing stare as they raised their hands, each saying, "I." 'You will pay, Jada.' Leon thought as they dragged him away. 'And this time around, I will make sure I finish the job.' The board members watched as the men shoved him out the door, shutting it behind him. Then their gaze darted between Jada and Chase when he suddenly said, "Mr. Maxwell, did you try to hit my woman?" With wide eyes, Jada gazed at him as she wondered, 'How did he know?' Immediately, Mr. Maxwell jumped to his feet, fear etched on his face. "No, no, of course not, Mr. Aniston. I would never-" "Then you will drag this company down with your disgusting lifestyle. A chair lady who can't remember a damn thing about her past, who sleeps around, and is divorced. Who would respect a company led by someone like that?' was

29. I am your man

As Jada walked out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with a towel, she stopped humming at the sight of Chase. His eyes studied her with such intensity that she felt like an ant under a microscope. "What?" Jada finally said after he continued to stare at her in silence for several minutes. It didn't seem like he heard her. But maybe he did. He was just so focused that it was making her nervous. And his face looked so serious. She would've been scared if he wasn't so cute. "Chase?" Jada called again, trying to get his attention. "Are you okay?" "I know I agreed for you to return to work, but do you have to go every day?" Chase finally asked as he lowered his gaze from hers, focusing on her bare toes that wiggled slightly. "Isn't that what chairwomen do?" Jada teased him, trying to lighten up their conversation. "I own companies, and I don't go to work every day." "I googled your name, Chase Aniston. You are no ordinary CEO. Plus, you don't have a memory problem as I do. Th

30. That Devil

At 9:00, Jada arrived at the company, her presence immediately commanding the attention of everyone in the lobby. Heads turned, gazes lingered, and whispers spread like wildfire as she and her bodyguards approached the elevator. As they walked ahead, the hushed whispers of two employees reached Jada's ears, "I envy her," one of them murmured to her workmate, unable to hide the hint of awe in her voice. "When we were on leave, Katy said, Master Chase came here in person just to defend her reputation." Jada couldn't help but overhear their conversation, her curiosity piqued. She slowed her pace, straining to catch every word. "Seriously, how come? Didn't she reject him multiple times, embarrassing him?" the other employee questioned, "How can he still love a woman like her?" The first employee sighed, her voice laced with envy and a tinge of longing. "I guess she's one of the lucky few," she responded wistfully. "I don't know why she rejected him the first time. If I had a man like Mr
