Storm made her way out and was glad that Chase had not heard her heading out, the alcohol and sleeping late must have knocked him out.She went and met up with Meghan and Paige,โThought we would see Chase behind you.โ Said Meghan.โHe is passed out.โโHe must knocked out if he could not hear you leave,โ Paige replied.โYep, I donโt know what happened, but he was pissed and broke glasses, and downed down some whiskey.โโDamn, must have been pretty bad news,โ Paige replied.โDid you ask him what it was all about?โ Meghan replied.Storm told them everything that had happened between,โSo he wants you to be the other woman, a secret?โ Said Meghan in shock.โPretty much, made me furious too.โโSo, do you know the girl he will be marrying?โ Paige replied.โNot yet but all I know is that it is an arranged marriage.โโHow are you taking it?โ Meghan replied.โHurt of course, but he was jealous, that Jeremy and I kissed.โโYOU WHAT?โ Paige replied.She told them about how she hung out with Jeremy,
"You said that it was just sex.โโIt was.โHe let her go and she made her way to her room. He still had the power to hurt her with those simple words.Dinner time came and she was seated opposite him. The air was very tense. She had nothing to say to him.โAre you still mad at me?โโNo Chase, Iโm not. I donโt have anything to say to you.โโI see, so youโre mad.โโYou know what? Everything in my life does not revolve around you. I want us to capture whoever is behind this.โโYou want to leave that badly?โโYes, I canโt wait.โโFine, I will have to upgrade the security and when that is done, you may leave.โHe walked away and left her there. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and went to her room. After a week, she was ready to go back to her place.Chase was not there, and she left. Part of her had hoped that he would ask her to stay, but he did not. She had not seen him the past week at all, after their chat about her wanting to leave.She finally went back to her place,Storm sat on
Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, โIโm real.โโWhy show up now?โโWhy must I not? Did something happen?โโYes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend.โโAnd what did you say to him?โโHe said I should think about it.โโIs that why youโre drinking?โโYes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless.โโSo why did you not?โโI donโt know.โโClearly you donโt want to be his girlfriend.โโAnd how do you know that?โโYou wouldnโt be here drinking.โโI will say yes when I see him.โโFine, do that.โโArenโt you at least a bit jealous?โโWhy would I be?โโIโm your ex.โโSo? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly.โโYou were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you.โโSo you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?โShe swallowed a huge lump. โPart of me wanted you to, I guess.โโI see how much you wanted me.โโYouโre the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up.
โWho was that?โโNo one.โโIโm not going to ask you twice.โโI really donโt, but I could sense them.โโWhat did they say?โโThat I have some power and they will tell me later on.โโYou arenโt planning to go alone, do you?โโI donโt know.โโYouโre not that fucking stupid.โโI donโt want to fight now, Chase.โโDonโt you remember that someone is after you and you were injured?โโI know that, but maybe it is not them.โโYouโre coming back to stay with me.โโI donโt wantโฆโฆโฆโฆ..โโI donโt give a shit. I need to watch you 24/7 so you donโt some stupid shit.โโNo.โโWhat did you say to me?โโNO! You want to use your title and position to bully me. I donโt want to be around you anymore and I want to move on from you.โAs Chase was about to come to her, she double-lunged and landed a blow. It caught him off-guard, her training was paying off.He looked at her with a smirk on his face and came to her as she tried again. He had her pinned on the ground. โThose work on others but not from me.โShe
They got to his place, and she went to her room; it was a bit awkward after the hug, but after unpacking her things, she lay in bed.What did those people want from her, and what power did she have? Did they know her? She tossed and turned a bit.The conversation and the hug kept on creeping in. She grabbed her phone and texted Jeremy that she would see him tomorrow during lunch.Storm wanted to let him know that she wanted to be his girlfriend. There was a light knock on her door, โCome in.โChase walked in. โAre you going to say yes?โโIโm not getting you?โโTo Jeremy?โโYes, itโs not like you want me.โโOkay, he is good for you and reliable.โโYou were all those things for me, Chase.โโI know, but Iโm not as steady as him.โโYou were, and even now, you come out and protect me whenever Iโm in danger and you make sure that Iโm safe even now.โโI will always be there for you, no matter the cost.โโI missed being in your arms.โDays had gone by and the night with Chase was forgotten an
She now sat in between Paige and Meghan,โHe did what?โ Paige asked.At this moment, she did not give a ratโs ass if they could hear them. โYes, she is in there with him.โโHe thinks itโs a joke that he keeps playing you,โ Meghan replied.โHonestly, Iโm not even supposed to be mad. He did break up with me.โโItโs okay to be upset,โ Paige replied.โI initiated most of those conversations.โโWhat do you want to do now?โ Meghan replied.โI donโt know. Kelsey asked if I could leave but Chase refused.โโI think he enjoys tormenting you,โ Paige replied.โRight, he seems to be the possessive type, and on a power trip,โ Meghan replied.โI just need to work on catching the person that is causing all of this. I donโt want to stay with them or else I will lose my shit watching and hearing them.โโThatโs tough, maybe eating together wonโt be that bad,โ Paige replied.โIt is. We had dinner and it was awkward. Chase barely talks. Kelsey is strict, just a disaster.โHer friends listened to her as sh
โWhat happened?โ Kelsey asked as she was assessing both of them in confusion.โA lot, go.โ Chase let go of her elbow and she headed for her room, she could hear them talking in low tones, and she looked out the window.The forest and trees seemed to be calling her and she could see a light that was coming from the forest, what was it?She could not see properly, even though her vision was excellent, and who was capable of blinding her and being so alluring at the same time?Storm was trying to open the window when Chase barged into her room, she jumped, โDonโt you knock?โโWhy were you trying to open the window.โโTo get air.โHe sat by the chair, โGo to sleep, I will watch over you.โโCanโt you come back in ten minutes?โโNot a chance.โโI need to change Chase!โโI have seen you before, so what is the big deal?โโYou have a fiancรฉ and weโre not together, Iโm not budging on this.โโFine.โShe changed into her pajamas, and she was glad that Chase was coming to watch her, that meant tha
She went to the kitchen and saw that there was none for her, and was not surprised.โCome eat.โ Said Chase.Storm was a bit confused at his words, as there was no plate for her, or was it inside the microwave?โI did not make any for you, I did not know if you wanted some.โ Said Kelsey.โOh.....okay.โโCome, you can share with me,โ Chase replied.She lit up, got a fork and sat next to him, the food was delicious,โSo whatโs the plan for you today?โ Kelsey asked her,โI have to go to classes and see my friends.โโI will come fetch you at the end of the day,โ Chase replied to her.โGreat, you can show me around,โ Kelsey replied.After that, she went to her classes and afterward, she, Meghan, and Paige went back to their place and filled them in about what was happening at Chaseโs place.Chase came, and before he could leave with her, Paige and Meghan were coming with her and he seemed over her but did not refuse.Paige and Meghan spoke but they were a bit timid with Chase there, they go
Storm lay awake. Chaseโs head was on her stomach and held her so tightly, and she played with his hair as he slept.Everything had been wild, the way Chaseโs father lost his temper; she felt sad that Chase found it normal to be treated like that.Her throat closed at the thought of him getting beaten up and him thinking that it was okay; he had been treated like this his whole life.It made her blood boil that he let his father do this to him, and she could not forget how Kelsey had been so smug and enjoyed the treatment that she had gotten from his father.The following day, he dropped her off at her friend's, and she knew that his father wanted to talk to him alone without her.โHe did what?โ it was Meghan.โYep, he beat him up pretty bad.โโWhat in the world is going on?โ This time, it was Paige.โEverything is just not working out for us.โโHis father is very intense; we have heard about him, and no one dares to go against his order,โ Paige replied.โYep, he wonโt allow Chase to d
โGET UP!โStorm was panicked, it was Chaseโs father and they stood up, โโYOU DONโT WALK AWAY FROM ME!โHis father lunged at him, Chase was knocked to the ground and she could see that he was winded, his father came at him again and hit him.Chase was not trying to fight back but instead, he was taking the blows and she was panicking, this was not going to work.โPlease stop.โ She was worried when she saw blood on his lips and he was getting up all the time. When his father lunged again, she jumped and stood in front of Chase.His father hit her so hard that she hit a tree and her head was throbbing, Chase was next to her in a flash, โMy love, are you okay.โShe nodded,โWhy would you do that?โโI canโt bear to see him hit you any longer.โShe saw his father come again and Storm got up and covered Chase again the blow was hard and saw some blood on her.She did not know where she was bleeding, Chase was next to her, โStop it Storm, I can handle him, but I can't bear him hurting you li
Storm was nervous, Chaseโs father could be here on any given day, and that made her all the more sick.She was nervous to the point that she felt like vomiting, apparently, Kelsey would also be talking to him and at times she would come to rub it in her face with a facade in front of Chase.Today was the day, everyone knew he had arrived, he had such a huge role and now she was shaking in fear.She was seated with Meghan and Paige, her friends tried to calm her down but it was not working. Storm even hoped for Chase to say he changed his mind and would cancel.She started to get ready, Meghan and Paige were reassuring her and told her that everything is fine.โAre you ready?โChase was looking her over,โYes, is something wrong with my outfit?โโNo, you look beautiful, back to my question, are you ready?โโWhat choice do I have?โโDonโt worry, Iโm with you.โHe took her hand and kissed it, they went to the restaurant at the back, it was a special reservation and when they walked in St
Storm made her way to his room and wanted to talk it out with Chase. Although her response to him had upset him, he still walked with her.He did not say anything, and when she talked to him, he would barely reply, and that made her very anxious.Storm wished she had lied, but he could read her easily, and if she refused to answer, that would have been the same thing. Not answering is an answer in itself.She went to the living room and sat close to him, โIโm sorry.โโFor what?โโFor saying yes.โโYou told me the truth, I asked and hate being lied to, at least you were honest and that is great for our relationship to be built on trust.โโBut what does that help with? If youโre so mad at me.โโIt hurts, but why would you think I would get bored of you.โโWhen we did break up, you went to other girls and I thought you had grown tired of me.โโI never broke up with you just because I was bored.โโThen why go to other girls?โโI needed to forget, thinking about you was torture, and knowin
โCan I talk to you alone?โStorm turned to Jeremy. โSure.โโWe need to head back, anyway, we will catch up later.โ This time it was Meghan.โAlright, I will see you guys later.โShe followed Jeremy to a quiet place, โI wanted to ask if we could go out again?โโI canโt?โโSaturday?โโIโm back together with Chase, Iโm sorry.โJeremy looked hurt, but then it was replaced with being upset. โAfter all that he has done to you?โโI know but I love him.โโYou love him? What does that solve?โโHe also wants to be with me, no matter what he loses.โโI guess he will always win.โโWhat do you mean by that?โโHe is the alpha, he has the looks, intensity, and everyone wants to be friends with him and I guess I stood no chance, did I?โโYou would, the only reason that I went out with him was that he always was there for me and he pursued me.โโAs if I can believe that.โโI swear Jeremy, I had no intention to be with him. I had liked Brian first, but that did not work out as I ended up with Chase.โโ
Today Chase walked her to the lunch area, but he had to leave but wanted to make sure that there were people that could help her in case of an emergency.Storm sat as she waited for Paige and Meghan to arrive, but instead of them it was Kelsey who arrived looking as if she wanted to bite her head off.โYou think you won?โStorm looked at Kelsey. โSorry.โโYou really think that Chase will give up everything for you?โโWell, he is now.โโYouโre painfully naรฏve.โโI suppose.โโIf you really loved Chase, you would not be ruining his childhood dream, his destiny and the path that he has to choose.โโWhy are you telling me all this?โโItโs simple. Chase will resent you down the line for making him miss this chance.โโWe will figure it out on our own.โKelsey scoffed, โNot only are you naรฏve, but dumb, too.โโAre you done?โโNope, just came to tell you that you should back off from him.โโI wonโt do that.โโTime will tell. Wait till you meet his father.โShe swallowed a lump, the way she had
Storm woke up and Chase was not next to her but then she was surprised when she realized that she was in his room.He walked in, โYouโre awake?โโHow did I get here?โโI carried you of course.โโWhy?โโYouโre going to be sleeping in my room so I can watch over you all the time and we can have some fun.โโWhat will Kelsey say?โโI sent her back to her place.โโWhat?โโI told her that you and I are back together.โโWe are?โโYou donโt want to be back together?โโOf course I do.โ She stood up and jumped into his arms. Chase caught her easily as she straddled him. โI love you so much.โChase grinned, โI know.โShe kissed him and loved his response.Chase pulled her along, and she sat in between his legs in the bath. His hands explored so many places and it made her cheeks bloom with color.When they were done, they sat in the living room and she was next to him on the couch. When they were done, she lay her head on his lap as he played with her head.โI missed this, and I really missed you.
โSuch a condescending bitch!โ Meghan whispered.โRight, she is full of shit,โ Paige added.โThank you guys for standing up for me. It means a lot to me.โโYouโre our best friend,โ Paige replied.โBesides, I could not help it. She was on my last nerve.โ Meghan replied.โI just want us to find these people. I miss us.โโSo true, I donโt know how you are going to do it,โ Meghan replied, and her friends really looked very sad for her.โI think that I will try to tell Chase that I want to leave.โโDo you think he will agree?โ Paige replied.โI have to, I canโt do this anymore. The torture and seeing him all the time has made me lose myself. I just need to stop seeing him all the time.โShe did not know why she was feeling all sorts of emotions. Storm pressed the tears back, worrying her friends was not nice.Some time went by, Paige and Meghan left and she sat in her room, all the emotions that she had been holding in came out all at once.Storm felt as if she had no control over her life.
She went to the kitchen and saw that there was none for her, and was not surprised.โCome eat.โ Said Chase.Storm was a bit confused at his words, as there was no plate for her, or was it inside the microwave?โI did not make any for you, I did not know if you wanted some.โ Said Kelsey.โOh.....okay.โโCome, you can share with me,โ Chase replied.She lit up, got a fork and sat next to him, the food was delicious,โSo whatโs the plan for you today?โ Kelsey asked her,โI have to go to classes and see my friends.โโI will come fetch you at the end of the day,โ Chase replied to her.โGreat, you can show me around,โ Kelsey replied.After that, she went to her classes and afterward, she, Meghan, and Paige went back to their place and filled them in about what was happening at Chaseโs place.Chase came, and before he could leave with her, Paige and Meghan were coming with her and he seemed over her but did not refuse.Paige and Meghan spoke but they were a bit timid with Chase there, they go
