Chase's POV I know I am in trouble when I see my mother's face. I should have answered my phone, I guess. I arrive at her house and do not know why she is so angry at me. I look at my father for help, but he pulls up his shoulders. I know that not even my father wants trouble with my mother. I wonder what I have done wrong this time except for not answering my phone. I know she always calls to ensure I will be here for lunch every Sunday. "Why didn't you answer your phone?" My mother asks. "Mom always calls to invite me to lunch every Sunday and remind me to come. I did not think it was necessary to answer. I know how mom is. Mom just wanted to remind me to come," I say. "I did not want you to come. That is why I called you. I am having other guests over. But since you are here, you might as well stay," My mother snarls. "Wow, who is more important than me? I thought I was your only son," I say. "I invited my grandson and his mother to come and eat here today. I did not want yo
Third Person's POV Sarah is standing outside Stone's family's house. How could this be? She doesn't understand when and where Chase got married. She is sure social media would have known about the marriage if there was one. She is convinced that they are lying to her. Chase Stone is not married. There's only one way to find out. She needs to find Nick Bradley. She will ask Nick. He will know because he has been friends with Chase since they were young. She will go to the Bradley restaurant and see if he is there. He usually hangs around a restaurant. She is sure she can find him there. Besides, he loves beautiful women and will come to her if she goes and sits at a table. Nick will show up at her table if he is in the restaurant. Meanwhile, Belinda is still thinking about everything that happened today. She does not know why Chase, his father, and her son put on the show for Sarah Harper. Sarah will find out soon enough that they are not married. Nothing makes sense, but she is enjo
Belinda's POV We get out of the car and walk to the front door. I knock because I do not feel welcome in this house anymore. Christine Jones opens the door. She does not look pleased to see me, but she opens the door with a smile when she sees Chase with me. I see she's wearing a whole set of my mother's jewelry. "My daughter, I have missed you. Why didn't you come earlier? We were looking forward to seeing you again. I hear you have your half a son. I hope you know who the father is. Where is he? I'm looking forward to meeting my grandchild," Christine says. "Stop the bullshit, Christine. You know why I'm here. Take off my mother's jewelry right now. You know very well that that jewelry belongs to me. Why the hell are you wearing it? Who gave you the right? I will go through this house and get every piece of my mother's jewelry back. I also want the ring that you gave Amanda back. You and her know very well that you are not supposed to touch my things. I will go to the police if
Belinda's POV The front door bursts open, and Amanda storms in. I can see that she is upset. Jake is following her. He also seems very upset. They do not want to get the jewelry back, but they have no choice. I am sure that my stepmother has explained everything to them. Amanda and Jake do not see Chase standing behind them. Amanda glares at me. "You selfish bitch! You don't even need this jewelry. Why do you want it? Why can't I keep my engagement ring? You have so much money you can't even spend for the rest of your life. We know that your mother has left you her life insurance. Why do you need this jewelry? It is not like you need the money. I hate you!" Amanda screams. She lifts her hand to slap me. Chase grabs her hand from behind. "Don't you dare touch Belinda! She is asking for her stuff. Who gave you the right to demand that she gives you anything? If there is somebody that is a selfish, childish brat of a bitch it is you. The jewelry belongs to the Morris family, and you ar
Belinda's POVWe leave my parent's house and get straight into his car. I have to go and fetch my car at his parent's house. It's my mother's house and not my parents' house. I want the place back in the Morris family name. I do not want my father to have it anymore. I want him to have nothing of my mother. He does not deserve anything that belonged to her, not even this house. I will make sure that he gets nothing. He thinks he can hide stuff from me but is making a mistake. He and his new wife think they are very clever, but I will find out the truth. "What have we done? We might as well have told the whole world that we are married. I know Amanda. She will tell the entire social media that we are married. How are we going to explain it to the world? How will we say to the world that we are not married? We have to do something. What will I tell the teachers at Connor's School? How will I explain that his surname is Morris and not Stone? We did a stupid thing. We didn't think about
Chase's POVI know this is very sudden, but I think it is best that Belinda and I get married. I know Connor will be in seventh heaven. Of course, he will have to be at the wedding. I can arrange everything very fast before Belinda changes her mind. I do not want her to change her mind. I want her to become my wife. It will be the best chance to convince her to give her my heart. I know Jake has hurt her in the past, but I am not Jake. I will not hurt her. I know she has to learn how to trust men again. I know it will be challenging, especially after her father's actions. I know she was shocked to find out that Amanda is her father's real child and that he had in a fair while he was married to her mother. I believe he and his wife have something to do with Belinda's mother's death. I will find out as I have friends in the police. I will find out who the detective who has investigated the case. I am sure that he has been bought. I know that Belinda is not somebody that will give up. Th
Chase's POVI might have pushed Belinda into this marriage, but I am glad I did. I am going to move in with them tonight. I have bodyguards because I am a billionaire, and people will try anything to get me to give them money. I am glad I can protect my son and Belinda. If anybody found out I had a son, they would come to my son and even try to kidnap him to get my money. I now have a reason to give him a bodyguard at school, and everywhere he goes. I do not want anybody to get close to my son and cause him any harm. I know how dangerous it is in my world, but I also know that once Belinda takes on her father and his family, they will get desperate and try to harm her or Connor. I do not want anything to happen to Belinda or Connor. I do not want the same thing to happen to them that happened to her mother. I'm going to help her to take them down. They do not deserve anybody like Belinda. I also want to convince her that I love her and want to be there for her and Connor for the rest
Belinda's POV We will have a busy day tomorrow, and I want Connor to go to bed. I will not entertain his views of how a married couple should live. I am not going to allow Chase into my bedroom. My bedroom is my private space where I can sit and think. I need to think about everything I've learned today. There is so much that I have to think about. I have discovered that my father is stealing from me, and Amanda is my half-sister, not my step-sister, as I always thought. I suspect that my father and stepmother killed my mom. I have to figure out how I am going to prove it. I also have to figure out what to do about it when I can prove it. "Connor, we will talk about brothers and sisters later, but now you must go to bed tomorrow. We will have a hectic day as you must see your new school. We will figure everything out as time goes by. For now, you have to be content with how we live. I do not want to hear another word from you. I want you to go to bed, and I want you to remember to ge
