A single touch of hands with Grant can easily make me lose focus. Get your head together - MUNA.MUNAI sat at my dressing table, staring at my reflection in front of me. I still couldn't believe it was my engagement party today.I was dressed in a scarlet red designer dress with a sweetheart neckline. It wasn't too tight, but hugged my curvy figure, perfectly.

I had insisted on doing my make-up myself, and I had to say I did a great job.The day Grant got me this dress was the first time he spoke to me since the night we argued after dinner with his parents. In his exact words, "the dress was made for me. It was something he could hardly wait to see on me."Asides from today being our engagement day, it was also Grant's birthday.

"You don't have to sound that way, darling Jessie. All I want is for us to meet face to face, you see I heard something about what happened between us and I think it would be best if we talked about it," The voice said."Alright, where should I meet you?" Jessie asked, masking her shock."At the café next to Tasty Magazine. What do your think?""I'll be there in ten minutes," Jessie said and hung up immediately.She sat on the chair behind her desk, trying o forget all those memories of her past with Jacques. Why was she so nervous about meeting him? They had talked at Lenore's wedding party, but at least Chase was there with her. What did he mean by he heard about what happened between them?Jacques, over the four years since she moved to London, never failed to call from time to time, asking her to come back to him.When she met him at Lenore's wedding party, he had been so mean.

Jessie took out her phone when she got to her room to pack her things. She phoned Chanel who answered after two rings."What is it?" Chanel whispered in a low tone, which was very unusual of her."Are you alright?" Jessie had to ask. "Yes, I am. I need you to say whatever you want quickly, I'm in the middle of something," she whispered over the phone.Chanel was always bubbly and her low tone was just proof of the fact that something was wrong."I just wanted to tell you that Chase, the twins and I would be traveling to Rio De Janeiro tomorrow. He has business to do there and wants to use the opportunity to take the kids out for a change," Jessie said."That's awesome. Have you told Lenore about this, though?" "Not yet. Are you sure you're alright? Have you gone home? I hope it's not Lenore who's keeping you at the office till now," Jessie frowned."I'm in my flat. It's just... You know what? Forget it, I'll let you know what's up later. Enjoy your trip, okay?" Chanel said, trying t
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
CHASE'S POVI was on the phone with Bianca, my personal secretary when I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes from behind me.I instantly knew who they belonged to. The rose-scented perfume was something I was very sure belonged to Jessie.I cut the call and said, smiling, "I know it's you, Jessica.""How did you know it was me?" Jessie asked, marvelled at my correct prediction."Which other female could have soft hands like mine? Any of the maids or Octavia?""What do you mean?" I asked leading her to sit on my lap."I wouldn't know, maybe Mary or some woman from your past," Jessie said suggestively while caressing my cheek.I laughed at her obvious method of asking if I was being faithful. So she was worried that I could still be with some other woman besides her?"As much as I have a bad reputation of dating several women in the past, I've never been into two-timing. Mary is just the housekeeper and there's no other woman in my life. I'd admit that I was in a casual fling with a runw
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Jessie got down from the luxurious car which dropped them all at Chase's mansion in Rio De Janeiro.As the guards and maids came out to welcome them and take in their luggage, Jessie went over what happened during the flight from London to Rio De Janeiro in her mind.The flight had indeed been long, about twelve hours and Jessie had spent almost half of the time on the plane, avoiding Chase.She engaged the kids in conversation about their academics and each time Chase tried to contribute, she only ignored him.Chase had noticed that she had been that way since morning when they were getting ready for their flight, but had thought nothing of it until he realised she was actually giving him silent treatment.Jessie had been wondering why she was so angry at Chase, but she had a feeling that the presence of Mary on the plane with them was the primary source of her anger.Mary with her natural blonde hair and big blue eyes was trying to get closer with Chase because they were seat partne
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
"Troubled?" Jessie gasped, shocked that Chase could read her true emotions so well."Yes, you've been spacing out a lot. Aren't you happy with this vacation?" Chase queried, worriedly."Of course I am, I'm just feeling a bit of a jetlag," Jessie replied."I'm sorry about that my darling, do you perhaps require medications? I could have Octavia make you something, you know?" Chase offered."No, of course not. I wouldn't want to trouble her, she must be tired herself. Why don't we both go upstairs and have a bath to get ourselves relaxed?" Jessie smiled."Oh, I have no problem bathing together with you. It would be a delight to see you in your full glory. In fact let's go up to the room now, I can't wait, Jessica" Chase grinned, flirtatiously, hugging Jessie.Hitting him playfully on the chest, Jessie said laughing, "I meant taking a bath in our individual rooms and also separately, not with each other.""Why don't we try out my idea, instead? What's wrong with that? We could lay in the
