LOGINWhen we woke up the next morning, Chase announced that we were spending the entire day together, just the two of us.I reminded him that I had to go to work, but he already had a solution.He grabbed his phone and called Mr. Sterling, telling him he was free for the day and wanted to work with me on his memoir. My boss readily agreed, and a minute later, my phone rang."Hannah, Mr. Hayes just called. He wants to work on the memoir today. Contact him and make the necessary arrangements.""Of course, sir."I ended the call and turned to Chase with a grin. "Well, Mr. Hayes, looks like we're working on your memoir today.""Fuck the memoir."I laughed. "You're a terrible influence, you know that?"“Only when it comes to you, baby.”He pulled me closer and kissed me before I could respond. One thing led to another, and we ended up having sex again before making it downstairs for breakfast. Chase had woken me with his cock already inside me, and we'd gone another two rounds since then. Three
I told Chase we shouldn't worry about my family tonight. Whatever happened, we'd deal with it together. For now, I wanted us to enjoy the beautiful evening he'd planned.He agreed, and we danced through three more songs, laughing and teasing each other before finally sitting down to dinner.The food was delicious, and when I asked if he'd cooked it himself, he laughed and admitted he'd ordered everything.We caught up on what we'd missed while we were apart, and our conversation turned to Mia and Mason."Those two are so lucky to have each other," I said. "After everything they went through, I'm glad they're finally happy.""I've never seen anyone have faith like Mia," Chase remarked. "It's incredible how she held on to Mason.”"I honestly don't know how she did it.""Neither do I. But watching her taught me something about love. Sometimes I think Mason found his way back because Mia never stopped believing he would."My phone rang before I could respond. Mia was video calling."It's
Chase couldn't stop laughing after I ended Flynn's call. "That was fucking amazing." He pulled me close and kissed me. "Best sex of my life, by the way."When I told him I needed to get ready for work, he refused to let me return home and deal with Flynn. He ordered an outfit for immediate delivery, and I got ready at his place before he drove me to work, since my car was still at home.We arrived at the office just as Alesia was getting out of her car."Don't spend the whole day thinking about what we did this morning," Chase teased.I laughed as I stepped out of his car. He drove off, and Alesia approached me."I underestimated you, Hannah. Who would've thought you were such a slut, considering how innocent you pretend to be?" She smirked. "But remember, it's not who starts the race first that wins.""It's too early for your shenanigans, Alesia. Have a great day. Or don't."I left her standing there and headed inside to start my day.My morning was busy, which was exactly what I nee
Chase answered the call on speaker. He and Tyler exchanged greetings before Tyler got straight to the reason he'd called."Paxton called me earlier. He was saying something about an ex of Hannah's. You know the family arranged for her to date this decent guy, hoping they'd settle down together. Now there's an ex nobody knows about, and Paxton is furious.""An ex?" Chase asked."Yeah. Hannah hasn't brought anyone home or introduced us to anyone she's dating. Since she worked with you back in LA, I thought you might know something. Did she ever mention seeing anyone? Or do you know any guy she dated?"Chase turned to me, and I quickly shook my head, mouthing no."I can't really give you the information you're looking for," Chase said carefully."Well, I'm trying to figure out who this ex is. Paxton keeps calling her, and she's not picking up. Since you're in Boston, could you check on her? See if you can find out something?""Sure. Send me her address. I'll stop by tomorrow and say hell
When Chase finally pulled away, he was smiling. "Please tell me you punched that motherfucker in the face."I laughed and reached into my bag. "Oh, I've got something better."I took out my phone and played the video for him.His smile disappeared as he watched Flynn and the woman together. By the time Flynn started talking about marrying me for my family's money, Chase's face had darkened."That fucking bastard," he muttered.When the video ended, he gently stroked my cheek with his thumb. "How are you feeling about all this? Are you hurt?""I'd have to actually like Flynn for this to hurt me." I shrugged. "What he did was fucked up, but I'm glad I found out. It makes everything easier now."Chase studied me, a mischievous smile forming on his face. "Hold on. You don't like your boyfriend? Does that have anything to do with your ex?"I laughed, already seeing where he was going with this. "Well, I wouldn't exactly call him my ex. He never even asked me out. But yes, there's this guy
They must have been in such a hurry that they hadn't bothered to shut the bedroom door properly.Through the narrow opening, I could see Flynn thrusting into a woman who was screaming his name.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I took out my phone, opened the camera, and started recording.I kept the camera running until they finished. I was about to stop recording and leave when the woman laughed."Damn, that was so good." She ran her hand down his chest. "Are you seriously going to give all this up for that bitch?"My finger stopped above the screen.What bitch?Flynn rolled onto his back. "Baby, how many times do I have to explain this? I'm not giving you up. I'm not giving us up. Nothing is changing between us.""Then why are you dating her?""Because I need to marry her. I've told you what's happening with my family's business. We're drowning in debt, and if word gets out before we secure funding, we're finished."Oh, so that was why he'd brought up marriage so early in our r
MiaFrom the hotel, I drove straight home with only two things on my mind.First, I needed a shower. After that, I would go through everything I owned to see if there was anything worth selling. I couldn’t risk putting all my hope on Mason.The house lights were on when I walked in, and the sound o
Mason“Lawrence, I want everything about her.”My assistant looked up immediately. “Everything, boss?”“Yes. I want to know what her life has been like for the past six years and why she suddenly needs three hundred thousand dollars.”Lawrence gave a short nod. “Understood.”He turned and left the
As I stared at Mason’s picture on the billboard, my mind drifted back to the first time we met. That summer in LA, I had taken a hotel cleaning job while visiting my Aunt Mel.I was pushing the cleaning cart after finishing my rounds, my hands hurting like hell, when the elevator dinged. He stepped
I stood in front of my parents’ door, my hand hovering in the air.This was the last place I ever wanted to come back to. The last time I stood here, my father had made it very clear I was no longer his daughter.I drew in a slow breath and knocked, hoping it would be Nina who answered. If my fathe
