last update Last Updated: 2022-11-19 16:29:10

Jessie hid her caller ID before calling Jean, a member of paparazzi wit. He answered after three rings, "Hello, you're Jean Louis, right?" She asked in French, trying as much as possible to sound different from her usual husky tone of voice.

"Yes, I am. Who am I speaking with?"

"You don't have to know. You see I have a credible piece of news material for you, of course, that would only be if you were interested."

"What sort of news? Is this a prank call? Where did you get my number?"

"You were at the wedding party today. You were the first person to get a photo of Chase Reed and a mystery woman in an elevator, weren't you?"

"Yes, I was."

"I want you to know that I heard Mr Chase and the very same woman talking about spending the night together. You might want to come and take some photos. Who knows you might trend when you upload it on your blog," Jessie laughed.

"At the Cavelli Hotel, right? Do you know his room number? I'm somewhere around there, right now? How much do you want for helping me out?"

"Nothing at all, can you make it there in five minutes?"

"I'll try my best."

"His room number is 1189, time is ticking...," She said and hung up.

Switching the phone off, Jessie sprayed some more of her rose-scented perfume, took another glass of champagne and made her way out of her room, still in the velvet-red party dress.

She flipped her hair back in a sexy way and just as she was about to ring the doorbell to Chase's suite, she noticed Jean at a corner. He didn't know she was the one who called, so he could only recognise her as the lady in the elevator.

She smiled to herself and pretended as though she hadn't seen him and then rang the doorbell. The door came open almost immediately as though Chase had been standing at the doorway, waiting for her.

Jessie turned to see if Jean had started taking photos and noticed that he had.

Chase weirdly looked at her before asking, "Are you alright? Your pupils look a little bit dilated."

Taking Chase's hand in hers, she replied, "I'll only be alright when I can finally publish my latest article on my blog. I promised my readers to publish a post thrice every week. I've done two already and today's Saturday, so I have to do the last one."

"Alright, come on in," Chase said.

They got into the room and Chase brought out the laptop before asking, "What exactly is today's post gonna be about?"

"I want to talk about my secret recipe for making fried rice. I see you've changed your party outfit, I think I like you better in this," Jessie smiled indicating the tight-fitting white T-shirt he had on with black and white pyjama pants.

"Oh really?" Chase teased.

"Of course, you look even more muscular. Do you have a password on your laptop?" she queried.

"Yeah, it's 1215," Chase replied.

Picking the laptop, she opened the door and Chase followed after her to the doorway.

Turning around abruptly, Jessie lost her balance and fell into Chase's arms. The motion caught Chase by surprise and he couldn't help, but stare into Jessie's grey orbs.

"Are you alright?" He asked in a deeper voice than usual.

"I'm not sure about that because, for some strange reason, I want to kiss you so bad right now," Jessie replied in a seductive voice.

"Wow, slow down there Jessie. You probably had too much champagne. Why don't you go back to your room now?" Chase replied, trying to be the sensible one and control the tide of lust that suddenly came over him.

He tried to look anywhere else, but at her sensuous lips, which proved to be a real struggle.

"Just this once, let me know how your lips will feel on mine," Jessie said and firmly pressed her lips against his.

Chase didn't react at first, Jessie almost wondered if the attraction she thought existed was only one-sided on her part, before Chase opened his lips and hooked her tongue with his.

He fully took control of the entire kiss and Jessie found herself struggling to catch up. Taking a fistful of her raven-black hair, he angled her head to fully get access to her mouth and Jessie felt consumed by his exotic smell and the rush of feelings Chase invoked in her.

It was turning into a make-out session and it wasn't until Chase's fingers traced the top of her breasts that Jessie came back to her senses and she pulled away from the kiss, realising that they were both standing in front of his open door, where anyone could have seen them. 

She was wondering if Jean had captured their passionate exchange when Chase's voice brought her mind back to the present.

"That was amazing Jessica," Chase smiled, showing off his cute dimples, his lips stained with her dark red lipstick, reminded her that whatever just happened was real and not just a part of her imagination.

"Yes, but I'm sorry for doing that. I just couldn't help myself," Jessie blushed.

"You don't have to apologize, Jessica. I also responded to the kiss, which means that you're not at fault. We both did what we wanted to do. I won't lie, but I've wanted to kiss you so badly since we were trapped in the elevator," Chase confessed.

"Really?"

"I'd never lie to you, Jessica. I know we just met and you'll be going back to London tomorrow, but I want us to keep in touch. Promise me you'll let me know when you get home," Chase said taking her hands in his.

"I promise you, I will. I enjoyed our encounter today, I'm happy that we met," Jessie smiled.

"Not as happy as I am."

"Okay, so I guess this is goodnight then? You'll text me the address to return your laptop, right?"

"Yeah, goodnight," Chase replied before hugging her.

Jessie walked back to her room feeling happier than she had ever felt before. She wasn't sure if it was because she was gaining Chase's trust and interest and therefore closer to her goal or if it was because of the kiss she enjoyed with Chase.

Yes, she had enjoyed the kiss and she kept replaying it in her mind while she typed in Chase's password.

As the laptop came unlocked, the wallpaper was displayed with Chase and the same children she saw on his phone earlier.

'Who could these children be?' Jessie wondered and decided to ask Chase about it the next time they met.

Jessie got Chase's text, where he described his London home address and office address. She smiled as she taught of seeing him again and sent him back her home address.

After writing publishing the post, Jessie decided to go through Chase's pictures on the laptop as that was the only thing that didn't require another passcode to open.

More pictures of the children smiling with Chase came up. In all the pictures, they smiled broadly for the camera with Chase's arms around them.

'I need to know who these kids are. Why isn't there a picture of them with Chase on social media? Did Chase have them in secret? Could they have something to do with his quitting music?' Jessie thought to herself.

She wasn't sure why the idea of Chase being married annoyed her greatly, but she felt angry anytime she thought of the possibility. With these questions in mind, she fell deeply into sleep where she dreamt of playing together with the children and Chase.

    THE NEXT MORNINGThe police car pulled up at Chase's mansion. Two officers alongside Pierre and Olivier got out of the car and into the house."What is going on Desmond? Why is the police here?" Octavia asked in her heavy Brazilian accent."Is Mary in?" Desmond queried, impatiently."Yes, she's just about leaving for her vacation. Why do you ask? Is Mrs Reed alright now? I was so worried the entire night.""Yes, she's getting better. It turns out that Mary was the one behind Mrs Reed's condition," he replied."Oh my God! That's not possible, Mary is such a sweet girl, she'd never do such a thing," Octavia replied, terrified at the news."Ma'am we do not have all day, we need to get Ms Mary to the station for questioning," the female officer said, impatiently."Okay, her room is on the last floor.""Alright, let's go in. She must have heard our siren. She might try to get away now," the other officer said."Okay, let's go," came Desmond.When they got up to the last floor of the buildin

    VANESSA'S POVI called Mary to ask about the task, I gave her and she answered almost immediately."Ms Vanessa, the task was done accurately. Ms Lavigne loves sweet things, she ate the cake and finished the drink without suspecting anything. The smoothie she had this morning also contained peaches.""That's very good. I knew I could trust you. It's so unfortunate, Jessie thought that she could still be with Chase even after he knows what she did. She will be dead, long before Chase even understands what's wrong with her. It would be the worst honeymoon ever," I laughed."It is such a relief to know that Jessie would finally leave the picture. I had tried everything, pushed her into the pool, badmouthed her to Chase, sent her ex, Jacques to keep bugging her, but now, injecting all the food and drinks she had with peach extract is finally going to do the job,""I'm a bit scared Ms Vanessa, what if Mr Reed finds out about my role in all these? Everyone knows that I was the person in charg

    They had just arrived at Chase's father's mansion. They were expected to spend the night there before leaving for Paris the next morning for their honeymoon.When Jessie realised that Paris was their honeymoon destination, she was surprised because it was something Chase had kept a secret. She was very happy to know that he thought of taking her to her hometown.She would have been the happiest woman alive had it not been for the fact that her husband was so mad at her that he barely even looked at her throughout the entire drive from the Cavelli Hotel where the reception was held to his father's mansion.Her husband, did she just think of Chase as her husband, but of course he was her husband after all. They had only been married for hours, but it felt so natural to think of him that way. She was confident that when she explained everything to him, he'd forgive her and they'd once again be happy as they had been before."Now, how was that, Jessica? My acting wasn't too bad, was it? Ev

    Jessie was confused, she knew something had to be wrong with Chase. He seemed frigid at their wedding reception when he was all smiles and compliments for her during the wedding ceremony.It was time for their first dance as a couple and Chase seemed so stiff and unwilling to go through with it as to moved to the dancefloor."Are you sure you're alright, babe? You seem a bit off since the beginning of the reception," she asked as they glided across the room.The music was one they both chose together. They had danced to it a number of times already and it was Chase's favourite, so it was surprising to her that Chase was so uninterested in dancing to it.After a full minute of not replying, he gave her an icy glare, as he replied, "I'm fine, I just want us to get this over with. I have some questions for you.""Why do you sound and look that way?""What way?" He asked through clenched teeth."Like you're mad or something. You keep clenching and unclenching your teeth.

    Two Months Later...CHASE'S POVI smiled to myself as I looked at the little grey box in my hand. Today was almost surreal to me.On this day, I'd finally get what I've wanted for a long time now. I adjusted my tuxedo with shaking hands.I couldn't believe how nervous I felt. This was going to be a very private matter with only close friends and family present. Why then was I so impatient and nervous about it at the same time.Nathan walked in, smartly dressed in a similar black tuxedo as mine, he smiled and gave me a pat on the back."I still can't believe you're finally doing this. Remember what you said to me on my wedding day? "I will never make the stupid mistake of getting married. Have fun while it lasts." Those were your exact words, weren't they? How come you're getting married now?" Nathan teased me with a mischievous grin."Nathan you should know that now isn't the time for you to tease me. I'm so nervous and I don't even know why. I keep wondering if Jessie would show up,"
