Chase took the morning newspaper as usual and began to go through it. His usual taut face broke into a smile at the sight of the headline he came across. He reread it and took out his phone.He knew the paper was obviously legit but the fact that a news paper once shared a scandal that was very false was why he needed more correct and accurate information on the headline.He typed in the headline and all the headlines that came from different news houses gave him the confirmation he needed.Finally, an opportunity that doesn't involve selling my life.He knew his thought was crazy but basically, he wad selling his life to Natalie because the marriage was just for business. And he loved someone else.The sound of heels clanking and making a disturbing cacophony announced Natalie's presence.“Hey Chase, hey cousin. ” Natalie threw at the two men and sat at the table.“Hey Natalie, how are you doing today?” Natalie was shocked for a few seconds before she replied.Why is Chase cheery toda
Chase joined the next group of business owners he saw. He recognized two of them; Elias Carson - owner, co-founder and CEO of EC and co - , and Beau Miles - the sole owner of a chain of hotels, inns, motels and guest houses around the world named Beau Homes.“Good evening, Mr Carson, Mr Miles.” Chase smiled at them and they smiled back.“I was just telling Mr. Miles here about the new development in the Williams family. About your engagement with Natalie. ” Mr Carson said, they were kind f acquainted. Chase didn't like the fact that everywhere he went, everyone wanted in on how he got the only child of the William's family to get engaged to him. Yet, to keep appearances, he forced a smile.“This is Chase Denver, the new son inlaw to be of Mr Franklin Williams. And also the CEO to Denver Corporation.” Mr Carson introduced and Mr Miles stretched his and Chase took it. They shook hands.“Nice to meet you Mr Denver.”“You can call me Chase, and it's also a pleasure to meet you Mr Miles, I
Hailey and James were already dancing. The silence was choking Hailey and she hadn't found anything juicy. Maybe if she talk to this White guy she would find something story Worthy.“So, this White, is it your surname or...” Hailey trailed off. She could see the way James narrowed his eyes at her. He probably felt offended.Did I say something wrong?“I do not mean it in a bad way, I am just genuinely curious. I hope you are not offended?” They took two steps to the left and two to the right.“It is totally fine. It's normal. I'm used to these questions anyway. I get them questions all the time. It is actually Wyatt, spelt W-Y-A-T-T. And yeah, it is my father's name.”“Wow!” James turned her around such that her posterior was aligned with his anterior like every couple dancing did and they continued to dance.“Yeah, wow. So Hailey, what company do you work for?” Hailey thought of a quick lie.“I work under Chase Denver.” It wasn't a lie, she did work under him. James nodded with a gho
Hailey was repulsed at the mere sight of the man seated next to her—so much that she wanted to puke as the memories of his…flashes of his lips on hers came rushing back to her and she shuddered in utter disgust…she took a deep breath and decided to focus on something else instead.“Please, Hailey, say something—this silence is killing me,” The screechy sound of Kol’s voice distracted her from the scenery of the road she was trying too hard to focus on.She finally turned to look at him with an indifferent gaze in her eyes as she tried to search her head for the right and logical thing to say.“It’s fine, Kol—things like this happen; let’s just move on from this and pretend it never happened…okay?” She heard herself say and she could have patted herself at the back for her composure.“Thank you,” he eventually responded after what felt like hours of silence,“You’re welcome,” Hailey’s face curved into a weak plastic smile and just when she was about to turn her head back to road an Ide
Chase stirs awake from his large bed, the glistening rays of the early morning sun finds it's way through the halfway drawn curtains unto himself on the bed.As a bird chirped outside his window, Chase turns his head to see what breed it was only for it to fly away. As though it'd fulfilled it's purpose - to get him out of bird.Somehow Chase is in a very good mood. He hums and prepares himself for a day at work. While geling his hair, he's all smiles, and very busy making impressions.He knew his happiness was over the top today, despite his Total failure to curry any investors or help for his business. His mind kept drifting to the last moments of the previous day.Chase, now very much dressed stylishly in his tux and gold watch, he goes down hoping to have breakfast. As he alights the steps, he sees Hailey scarfing down some cereal and he momentarily stops.Resuming his walk down the steps, he directs himself towards her with a smile on her face. Hailey who had already figured that
Hailey is on call with Ciara, the Denver's mansion has been quite taut of recent. It was as though a dark cloud had befallen the home. Chase is been very much withdrawn .The rest of the house members and it's workers just went about daily with their duties. No one wanting to be at the receiving end of anything other than their monthly payments.They very well enjoyed their boss's good will towards them and how they longed for the days before so many things came about." The house feels so big and empty, even Dawn cried not quite long ago," Hailey said with a sigh, " that should go a long way in telling you just how miserable I've been for sometime now,' she counters, spewing nothing but genuine facts about her days these times." How is Dawn though?" Ciara replies," I can't for the life of me imagine my beautiful girl with nothing but a smile or smirk on her face."" She's a strong little girl, do that must have hurt her."" I knew it did, Ciara " Hailey spoke, " I literally saw Cha
It is the beginning of a new week. The gloomy cloud of the previous week sheds and let's in a ray of sunshine in the Denver's mansion. Everyone woke up early, ready to take their bulls by the horn, to take their destinies in their hands.The layout of the Denver's compound was very much beautiful, lawns mowed, cars washed, shiny and clean. Even the sun sat above the earth gave warmth. Not hot enough to be described as scorching but hot enough to make it a beautiful day out.It was like a new beginning. For everyone in the Denver house hold, starting from the dearly beloved Chase who was lightly asleep in the confines of his dimly lit room.After a weekend of thourough relaxation, away from work. He'd found himself again , his spirit recovered from the blow and he was bouncing, almost his usual self. The absence of Natalie definitely aided to his road to recovery .Chase stirs up from sleep, he awoke, sitting up and looking at his drewn curtains on his windows. Hindering the bright li
A thousand of emotions courses through the body and mind of Hailey upon seeing him. She couldn't believe her eyes. He was walking down to an empty table, seated comfortably and innocent like he was one with no bad bone in his body.She shook her head, the memory of the evils he'd done to her and her career without regret, all came rushing back. She begins to see him in a different light. Not as an ordinary lovable man, but as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour in this dog eat dog journalistic world.Hailey stood for a while and it became even more clearer how desperate, bitter and spineless he'd looked.She was indeed as stupid as her boss had branded her that very day when everything went down the hills.At this point she'd even accept a much lower word than stupid to explain just how foolish she'd been to trust him.Ciara , whose been alone for a minute, comes out to check on Hailey, surely they weren't too packed up nor experiencing a human commotion as they witness during the n
