CHASE I walked into my father's office nervously. I never knew what to expect because he was always so unpredictable. And so unforgiving. I knew why he called me this time, though. He wanted to talk to me about Megan. And probably Jennifer. I was not looking forward to that conversation. "Hey, dad. Did you want to see me?" I got to the point as soon as I walked into his office. "What the fuck happened to your lip?" My father, Archer, barked to answer my question. Fuck. I should have tried to cover my wound somehow. I couldn't tell him that Maggie bit me when I was kissing her! "Um, it's nothing," I said hesitantly. "You know better than to lie to me," Chase. What.. the fuck.. happened to your lips?" he said it slower this time, enunciating each word. "It was just...Meghan and I..." I paused. I didn't know how to explain it. "That little bitch did that to you? What the hell is going on, Chase? I thought you were in love?" he snarled. "Like I said, Dad, it's none of your business
MEGHAN"What? Who is this?" Jennifer demanded to know. I could tell she was utterly confused."My name is Meghan and your dumbass fiancé Chase kidnapped me! You have to help me," I said. I felt like I was wasting my time, but I had to try."Is this some kind of a joke? Why would Chase kidnap you?" Jennifer asked."If you don't believe me, come to his house and see for yourself. He let me come out of the bedroom, but he wouldn't let me leave the house," I said in a hushed tone."Why would Chase kidnap somebody? He doesn't need money. His dad is already rich," Jennifer said.Gosh, this girl is oblivious. Does she even know I exist?"Because it's not about the money, Jennifer. He kidnapped me because he wanted me, and I refused to be with him. Your fiancé is a liar and a cheater."Jennifer went quiet for a while for a moment, so I thought she had hung up on me. But suddenly, I heard laughter on the other end. I frowned in disappointment. She must think I was joking.She was not taking me
ADRIAN 'I changed my mind. I would like to go out with you.' I smiled at the text. I didn't have to wait until morning. She had already fallen under my trap, and I didn't even have to do much. I guess Lisa was wrong. Erin wasn't all that difficult of a person. 'But you have to hurry up and pick me up.' I squinted at the text. What was the rush? It didn't matter. All I wanted was information, and this girl could be my ticket to finding Meghan. If she wanted me to pick her up, that's what I would do. 'I'll be on my way. Where do you want me to pick you up?' I texted. 'My house, but don't park directly in front of it. Park a few blocks away. My parents have me under heavy protection and don't like me going out with strangers, so I have to sneak out,' she said. Her parents? Why were they kept under supervision? She had to be over eighteen years old already. If anything, they needed to keep Chase under control for being a brat. She wasn't joking. There was heavy security at her pa
CHASEJennifer peered at me through her fake eyelashes, sizing me up. I had put on my most expensive suit to impress her, but at the same time, I didn't give two shits about her opinion.Jennifer meant nothing to me."I thought you were not going to come," she finally spoke.I looked at her with surprise. "Why would you think that?""You've been distant from me for a while now. You keep ignoring my phone calls. So finally, I got desperate and called your father. Do you realize how humiliating that is for me, Chase?""I was going to call you back, Jen. You didn't have to call him. You just had to be a little more patient," I said irritably. Jennifer was a little too clingy for my taste. I preferred someone like Meghan, who let me have my space.Of course, now I know it was because she didn't like me in the first place."Patient? Don't tell me to have patience, Chase. It's almost as bad as telling me to calm down," Jennifer snapped."Are we just going to stand here and argue all night,
ADRIANI stopped my car a few blocks away from Erin's house because she instructed me to do so. Then I looked at her, unsure of what to do.To be honest, I was a little concerned about this girl. She looked like a nervous wreck even though she was going back to her own parents' house."Are you okay? Are you sure it's fine to drop you off here?" I asked."Yes, it's safer this way. I will find my way back and don't worry. I've done this before."If you say so."For some reason, I didn't peg Erin as the adventurous kind who sneaked out of her house all the time."I am still a little worried about you walking all alone in the dark," I said.A small smile teased her lips. "You are worried about me? Why? You don't even know me!" she exclaimed."That's what a decent human being usually does, Erin. They worry about other people's safety," I said."A decent human being, huh?" Erin said absentmindedly, as if it was a foreign concept to her. "I wouldn't know what that means," she said. She final
CHASEJennifer kissed me back without hesitation. I guess she wasn't THAT mad at me."Mmm...Chase, I've missed you," she whispered against my lips. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Even though I wasn't into her, I enjoyed kissing her because she was quite good at it.I felt her hand roam all over my chest and abs, her fingers unbuttoning my shirt. Her other hand found its way down to my pants, and my cock stirred inside.It's been so fucking long since I had sex.Jennifer was throwing herself at me, just like she always did in the past. I remembered her tight little body and her perfect ass. I enjoyed it despite being in love with Meghan. Maybe marrying Jennifer isn't such a bad idea...Jennifer managed to unzip my pants, then took me in her hand. "I want you to fuck me, Chase. Make it up to me for neglecting me," she whispered seductively.I grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eyes while she played with my cock.Fuck...I can't do t
ADRIANThe next day.I texted Erin to see if she wanted to go out with me again today so I could get more information. I also wanted to make sure she got home all right last night. Hopefully, she didn't get caught sneaking around.'I'm so glad you texted me,' she replied to me almost immediately, so I smiled at my phone. I texted her quickly.'Did you get home okay?' I asked her.'Yes, it was no problem. I told you I've sneaked out many times without getting caught before. But there's something I want to talk to you about,' her reply said.It piqued my interest. She must have some news about Maggie.'What is it?''I don't want to text everything. Can we meet again today?' she said.She sent me a follow-up text after five seconds."Is it too soon to see me again? I never went on on date anyone, so I don't know the rules,' it said.I chuckled loudly. I didn't understand in the beginning, but this girl really was very inexperienced in the dating area."What the hell are you laughing at?
MEGHANAfter miraculously surviving getting beaten up, Chase gave me his bedroom.I lay in his bed, bruised and battered with nightmares about the large man who had beat me up. I tried to get away from him, but he would always find me.There was no way to escape. No matter how often I woke up and closed my eyes in a different position, the nightmare would return the next time I fell asleep.How was I ever to trust a man again? Getting beaten up by one made me realize one thing: men and women are not physically the same.Men would always be stronger, bigger, and badder. That knowledge was slowly making me fear them.I tried to fall asleep by pressing my head into the pillow and pulling the blanket tighter around me. I wasn't sure why Chase had given me his bedroom, but I wasn't one to complain.My mind drifted off, and then I saw it. That face and that evil smile belonging to the man who beat me.Hot blood ran over my skin, and it wouldn't stop. I saw myself trying to fight back but ge
