PROLOGUE
Jessica Belle Lavigne stood up to her full 5ft 10 inches height, her beautiful face contorting in anger after reading through the email sent to her by the owner of Tasty, the famous magazine company in London where she worked as the executive editor. Jessie let out a frustrated sigh, wondering what Ms. Lenore Bernard, the CEO of Tasty meant by rejecting her request for promotion. Jessie had been working in the company for four years and although she was one of the most respected journalists in the company because of Whispers, the column which she had been writing for two years after getting promoted from a regular journalist to the executive editor, she still didn't think she was where she wanted to be. Despite the very fat paycheck which she received two days earlier than others did, Jessie wanted more, she deserved more. When the former Editor-in-chief of Tasty, Bianca Banks had a miscarriage and resigned, blaming her loss on the stress of the job, Jessie saw it as an opportunit

CHAPTER ONE
CHASE'S POVI walked into Cavelli Hotel where my former high school classmate, Cesare Cavelli was getting married with his fiance Lenore Bernard."Mr, Reed I'm so sorry, Sir," Bianca, my personal secretary said.I stopped in my steps and looked at her before asking, "What's the matter, Bianca?""I just got a text from my daughter's nanny. She said Blanca is burning up with a fever. I would have left her with her dad back in London, but my husband is also on a business trip and I had to be here with you, so I just had to bring her along. I need to rush back to the hotel to check on her, Sir," Bianca replied looking terrified."Of course you can go right away, send her to the hospital if possible, I'll cover the medical expenses. Your daughter is only five, she needs you right now. You're free to go Bianca," I replied.If not anyone else, I knew how hard it was to take care of little children, especially when they were sick. I made a mental note to check on the kids I left with a nanny

CHAPTER TWO
JESSIE'S POV"I still don't know how I feel about this whole seducing and deceiving thing. I don't even like dresses, can't I wear my regular slacks and chiffon shirt? I'd feel more comfortable in those, this is just too revealing, Lee," I complained to Chanel over the phone while eyeing the outfit that Lenore sent to me this morning for her wedding."I also don't think it's a good idea. A friend of my elder sister's was fortunate to win a date with Chase when he was still a musician. She said he was so easy-going and lovable. He's a total gentleman, what if you fall in love with him, just like it happens in the movies?""Oh come on Chanel, you're watching too many romantic movies. No such thing would happen, my relationship with Jacques was enough to put me off romance.""What about Chase's feelings, he's innocent, you know? You'll be deceiving him, that's not good.""But this promotion means a lot to me, Chanel. I've already told Lenore I'd do it," I said."Here's what you'd do, jus

CHAPTER THREE
CHAPTER THREE"Mr. Reed, could you please tell us what's your relationship with this lady and why you were wrapped in a passionate embrace with her," one of the paparazzi asked."Yes, Sir, what's going on between the both of you?" Another asked."Ladies and gentlemen, as much as I know how exciting it is to see Chase Reed with a mystery woman for the first time in years, you must understand that a wedding reception is going to take place here, the wedding that everyone has been looking forward to. Security please send them away! Now, Mr. Reed, Ms. Dubois, please follow me," Alexander Rowland, Cesare's personal assistant said and with the help of the security guards, the paparazzi were sent away. Not sure of what to do after what happened in the elevator, but wanting to know if Jessie was alright, Chase asked, "You okay?""I guess I'm still a bit shaken, but I'm fine," Jessie replied before pretending to feel dizzy."Are you sure you're alright?" Chase asked as they all went into the

CHAPTER FOUR
CHASE'S POVI had to get out of there as soon as possible. I didn't know why, but I was getting bothered about the reaction that Jessica provoked in me. I needed a break from her to calm down for a while. She seemed to enjoy tempting me, almost like that was her intention. Could it be possible that she approached me on purpose? Many ladies had done that in the past, some even tried to force me into relationships with them, but I was always good at only playing along and eventually dumping them.I no longer do that anymore, just like I abandoned music, I also stopped womanising, it just wasn't fun anymore. I had tried about three times to get into serious relationships with women since then, but they all seemed too materialistic and uninterested in having a family.I couldn't imagine introducing the twins to them and so I quit the relationship. How about Jessie? Could she also be that way? Was she also uninterested in marriage and kids? If I told her about my twins, would she run to

CHAPTER FIVE
JESSIE'S POVI sighted Chase coming back into the room and quickly put his phone on the table. Jacques Bernard, my ex-boyfriend from college suddenly showed up to annoy me. Chase walked up to us and we all talked for a while before I quickly dismissed Jacques, before he could expose the truth about my true identity.Chase wanted to know about Jacques and I so I told him a little about us before changing the subject.We sat in silence before Chase explained, "Sorry, I had to contact my secretary, Bianca. Something came up earlier, so she couldn't attend the wedding with me," Chase explained when he took his seat across from me."The lady with you at the lobby earlier?" I asked trying to find out what exactly she meant to him.If they had a thing going on, it wouldn't be surprising, the lady was hot, I had to admit."Oh, you saw us earlier? You must have been staring for a while," he teased, revealing his perfect teeth and dimples."Yeah, I was. Is she your girlfriend?" I asked, avoidi

CHAPTER SIX
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

CHAPTER SEVEN
CHAPTER SEVENCHASE'S POVI watched the clock strike midnight, today was a big day, Chris and Crystal were turning ten.It was so surreal, I almost couldn't believe the twins were in Year 5 now. They were growing rapidly. I was only twenty-one when they came into my life. They were only two years old then and I didn't want kids, especially with the way my musical career was growing. I didn't think I'd ever want them, but after taking them in, I just couldn't help, but accept them as my children.Today being their birthday, I was going to surprise them with gifts that they've wanted for a long time now. I remember when Chris asked me yesterday over dinner, "Dad, will I get the roller skates this year? I asked for them last year.""Of course not, Dad. He'd only get hurt with that," Crystal screamed into my ear."I'm sorry Chris, I can't get you roller skates. It's too dangerous," I replied even though I had already bought the thing. I was only pulling his legs."I want roller skates an

CHAPTER EIGHT
JESSIE'S POVIt was indeed a very stressful day at work today. With Lenore and Cesare away in Paris for their honeymoon, I've been in charge of all of Lenore's work, mine and also that of the Editor-in-Chief.As hard as it was working for long hours, I consoled myself with the very fat paycheck I was going to get at the end of the month as well as the bonus for doing three people's jobs.I was about to leave my office when my eyes spotted our magazine for Sunday which had Chase Reed and me on some of the pages with the caption, "FORMER PLAYBOY MUSICIAN, CHASE REED IS IN LOVE WITH A MYSTERY WOMAN!"I sighed as I thought about how thrilled I was when writing that story. To be honest, asides from my blog post that night, I was working on the article about Chase and me.For the umpteenth time since we published the article with the photos gotten from Jean Louis, I wondered if Chase was comfortable with all that exposure.He must have stayed quietly all these years for a reason and now I o

CHAPTER NINE
"Why do you look so shocked, Jessica? When you gave me your home address, didn't you expect that I'd come visiting?" Chase smiled."I'm not surprised, I just wasn't expecting anyone. It's been a long day for me and I just wanted to enjoy my weekend. Come in, please," Jessie said.As Chase walked in, he eyed her black dress with distaste and said, "Why are you wearing that? It doesn't flatter your curves, nor does it enhance your beauty. I think you'd look much better in red, just like the other night. Don't you think?""I have the right to dress as I please!" Jessica replied sharply, irritated that even Chase had the same opinion as to her mother. Why was everyone out to control her life? First was her mother stepfather and siblings whom she couldn't match up with. Since her parents got divorced, her birth father also tried to dictate how many times she got to meet her mother. Jacques had also tried to dictate how her life should be when they were dating.Recently, her boss, Lenore C
