JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
"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. He almost exposed the fact that she was an editor at Tasty. Had she not intervened, Chase would have fo
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
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
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Jessie was a nervous wreck, she had just invited Chase to the lounge in the mansion for a drink together.At Chanel and Lenore's advice, she sat on the couch in the skimpiest short and camisole that she possessed, she felt totally unlike herself.According to Chanel who had called earlier that night, Jessie had to use every method necessary to get Chase as deeply into her as possible, so that when he discovered the truth about her, he'd have to overlook it all.As for Lenore she believed that with the striking beauty and body shape Jessie possessed, it would be a shame if she didn't put it on display to secure some more advantages.Lenore wanted Jessie to get Chase drunk. According to her, a drunk man was the most truthful. So if Jessie wanted to know everything about Chase, getting him drunk would be the best method.She wasn't sure if the plan was going to go smoothly, but she hoped he had low alcohol tolerance and wouldn't be able to see through her intentions."What is it, Jessica
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
JESSIE'S POV"What is it about Stella?" I asked, the tension in my voice evident.This was the moment for me to find out the entire truth. I had a feeling that it somehow had something to do with Stella, the woman he once loved.For some reason, I felt a bit uncomfortable each time I thought of the fact that Chase had once loved the lady. What was so special about Stella to bring out such strong feelings of love from Chase? Was she a blonde? A brunette? Or did she perhaps have hair the colour of sunset? Could Stella have had the same raven-black hair like mine?Was that the reason for Chase's interest in me after all? Pushing those thoughts aside, I looked at Chase to find that he was fast asleep.His thick, long lashes were on display and I couldn't help, but stare at his handsome face, combing my hands through his luxurious chocolate-brown hair.He seemed to enjoy the motion of my fingers in his hair, if his deep sigh and snuggle unto my lap was anything to go by."Chase, you have
JESSIE'S CHASE CHAPTER THIRTY
"It's Mary, Sir.""What is it Mary?" Chase asked striding back into his closet.Jessie frowned while wondering just what Mary wanted from Chase so early in the morning."I wanted you to know that Diana, the chef has prepared your breakfast, Sir," Mary replied from outside the room."I'll take care of that myself, you can leave now Mary," Jessie couldn't help but reply.Chase returned to the room from his closet with black shorts and a shirt in his hand, quirking his brows at her in question and Jessie frowned at him asking, "Since when did Mary become your personal maid? Why does she have to come personally to your room to tell you about breakfast?""Darling, why don't we discuss about your response to my kisses right now? I find that a much more interesting line of conversation, don't you think?" Chase smiled."You know what? I'll leave you to get dressed," Jessie replied, covering her eyes and leaving the room as though she hadn't been looking at his towel clad body just moments ago
