Panicking, Melissa sat in the private room of Greenland Restaurant, staring at Chase's message on her screen, "Meet me there by 12." But it was 12:30 and he had not shown up yet. With a scowl, she glanced at the empty glass, knowing that the bottle was also empty. Suddenly, the door opened, and in walked Chase. His eyes met hers and the was this coldness that flashed across them. "What is it?" Melissa asked worriedly as he sat down next to her on the table and put his arms behind his head, letting out a yawn. "You killed Maria, didn't you." Chase's eyes flashed dangerously in amusement, as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips, despite the anger seething within his chest. "You bought Lennon Haven, set a trap with Maria helps to kill Jada, and when your plans were falling apart, you left Maria in that building and triggered the bomb, blasting the building and killing her inside. Truth or truth?" Chase asked as a cruel smile played upon his face. "Who told you those lies?" sh
A look of fear crossed Jada's face, her voice quivered, and her eyes darted anxiously around the room as she cried, "The police... Why would the police come to us?" "Don't worry, rest yourself, and this will all be over," Chase said, stroking her cheeks to calm the stress that itched on her face. As he was about to leave the bed, Jada grabbed his hand, her grip tight and desperate. She looked up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes and said, "I want to come with you." "No, stay," Chase said, gently but firmly. "I am not some dog!" "Babe, you know that's not what I mean," "Stress is not good for our baby," "That's why I don't want you to come," "If I stay back, I am going to die from anxiety." Silence settled between them, the weight of their emotions intensifying in the dimly lit room, and Chase brushed his palm over his face and mumbled in his head, 'This is either going to break us up... or you love me beyond what I can ever imagine.' Then he nodded at her, a tiny smile
One Year Later The screeching tires echoed through the deserted parking lot as Ben expertly maneuvered the black car to a smooth stop. A symphony of engines ceased their purring, one after another, as the sixteen vehicles following in his wake mirrored his actions. For a while, Jacob, his sharp eyes never leaving the screen of his phone, got down with the other, and then he finally glanced up from the glow of the device. His commanding voice cut through the stillness. "Master Chase and Lady Jada are coming outside with young master," Men clad in impeccably tailored black suits emerged from the shadows, their presence commanding attention. They fanned out around the car, forming a protective circle, a formidable wall of security. Each man radiated an aura of strength, their eyes scanning the surroundings with a practiced vigilance. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the airport in a hazy twilight. The flickering glow of the streetlights above bathed the scene in an othe
The morning sun danced through the lace curtains, casting a warm glow across the spacious room. Beaming, Jada stood in front of the grand mirror, her reflection a vision of ethereal beauty. The ivory gown hugged her slender frame, cascading down in layers of delicate lace and silk. A symphony of beaded embellishments adorned the bodice, shimmering like stardust on a moonlit night. As she admired her reflection, her heart swelled with excitement and anticipation. The room buzzed with the sound of laughter and joy as Sarah, Katherine, and Ivy, gathered around her. Their faces were aglow with love and pride, mirroring Jada's own emotions. With gentle hands, they carefully fastened the buttons on her gown, each intricate detail an homage to the love she shared with Chase. Suddenly, Sarah wiped away a stray tear that escaped the corner of her eye. "Oh, Jada, you look positively radiant. Chase is one lucky man to have you." "Indeed, my dear. Your love story is one for the ages. It warm

Slowly, Leon walked into the grand hall, its towering ceilings adorned with delicate chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow upon the polished marble floors. There, in the heart of the opulent hall, stood Jada, her look exuding an ethereal grace. His heart quickened its pace, his steps faltered, and he closed the distance between them. With a tender smile adorning his lips, Leon leaned in, greeting her with a gentle kiss. But to his surprise, Jada withdrew, her head pulling away, leaving his lips pushed up. Watching the confusion in his expression, Jada's hands trembled with anger and betrayal as she faced Leon, the documents clutched tightly in her grasp. The air in the dimly lit room crackled with tension, a heavyweight of seething emotions hanging between them. Tears welled up in Jada's eyes, and her face contorted with rage. "How could you!" she screamed. "I trusted you! I confided in you! Just for you to play with my emotions like a cruel puppeteer pulling the strings! How
Laying there, as Jada's trembling hands pressed against the cold floor, fighting to regain control of her racing thoughts, images flashed before her mind's eye, memories of happier times intertwining with the horrifying reality she now found herself trapped in.

The glimmer of satisfaction that danced in his eyes sent a chill down her spine, the intensity of his gaze making her feel exposed and vulnerable. With each step, his presence seemed to loom larger, casting a dark shadow over her trembling body.When Leon stopped by her, he forcefully yanked the d
The beeping sound of the ventilator machine echoed in Jada's ears, and slowly, her lashes blinked as if weighed down by the burden of the moment. Her eyes fluttered open, revealing a world shrouded in sterile white. The harsh fluorescent lights made her squeeze her eyes shut. Jada's vision slowly adapted to the room's brightness, her pupils dilating as she took in her surroundings. The sterile white walls surrounded her, alerting her that she was in the hospital. She tried to recall how she ended up in this unfamiliar place. Still, her mind felt foggy, her memories like fragments of shattered glass.As Jada shifted in her bed, a sharp pain jolted through her head, causing her to wince. The throbbing ache intensified with every movement.Slowly, she reached a trembling hand to her forehead, feeling the bandages tightly wound around her temple. "How did I end up injured like this?' Jada thought, but just then, a click from the doorknob broke the silence, diverting Jada's attention f
