LOGINChase’s POV“Linda, let me know the moment Carmen gets here,” I told Linda.“Of course, Mr. Chase,” she responded.Terry called back, wanting to know what was going on, and I didn’t hesitate to tell him.“I can’t say that I am too shocked, Chase. She is Donny’s daughter after all,” Terry responded after I had finished telling him about what Hace told me.“Every time she remains close to me, she keeps exhibiting character traits of that monster,” I said with a snarl.“And that’s because she is from his loins, Chase,” Terry said. “And I cannot also deny that she is very smart. I would never have expected that she would have gone that mile,” he added.“I don’t even know what I am going to do with her,” I grumbled.“She is getting too close, Chase, and that’s not good, especially as we now know whose daughter she is,” Terry told me.“I get that, and that is why I am going to set her straight,” I responded firmly.“But if she already knows that Donny was responsible for what happened to De
Chase’s POVEverything happened almost in the blink of an eye.The shoot with Nora was lengthy, but brief at the same time. Carmen already had a speech ready, and I wouldn’t even have been able to change anything even if I wanted to. I spoke on the tournament and the award presentation, and Carmen drafted it in a way that would not outwardly trample on the integrity of the senior board members.But it certainly touched the necessary areas.After the shoot, she told me about Edna Jones’s intimate family party, and just as Terry had advised me, I played along.Donny hadn’t reached out to me since the last time he did, and Tiana seemed to keep off as well. In the last two days, everything seemed…almost peaceful.“What are you going to do after this event?” Terry asked me over the phone as I got dressed for Edna Jones’s event. “You still have a couple of days before another training begins,” he reminded me.“First of all, I am just giving myself time to rest,” I answered.Since the tourna
Chase’s POV“Is there a problem?” Carmen asked me, dragging me out of my reverie.While she read out the schedule, I couldn’t stop staring at her face and realizing just how beautiful she was.Carmen Vega didn’t have to do anything to come off as breathtakingly beautiful. She wasn’t like Tiana Donalds who adorned herself with way too much makeup, revealing clothes, and pair of high heels.All Carmen needed to do was exist.However, even when I thought about her in that light, I was also reminded that she was Donny’s daughter, and that made my heart conflicted.“I don’t think there is,” I managed to answer before I would end up looking like a fool in front of Carmen.“But did you listen to everything I said?” Carmen asked suspiciously.In all honesty, I didn’t. I only heard the first line of her speech because I got carried away by her beauty and the bitter realization of whose daughter she was, but thankfully, a call from Terry saved me.I hopped up almost too quickly.“I need to tak
Carmen’s POV I stood in Chase’s living room and waited patiently after Linda told me that Chase had a guest in his bedroom.That came as a surprise to me because I never pegged Chase as one who would have someone in his room. He didn’t even like people coming to his house, but then again, Chase owed me no explanation, so I simply waited.I was patient, but I was also jealous.I knew without a doubt that it had to be a woman, and recalling that I had also been in that room didn’t make it any better. However, I recalled Millie’s statement last night, and I decided to do away with those thoughts.Chase Maddox was never, and would never be interested in a girl like me, so the earlier I concentrated on my job, the better for me, but I was very relieved that Millie had said that she had simply done it to make me jealous.And she won.A few minutes later, Tiana Donalds walked out of Chase’s room and came to the living room. At first, her countenance seemed off, but the moment she saw me, sh
Chase’s POV“Good morning, Mr. Chase,” Linda’s voice called out from outside my bedroom door with a soft knock, rousing me up from sleep.And I felt hit by a hard headache, courtesy of the hangover.“Shit,” I exclaimed in regret. “This is why I don’t even bother with wine or champagne; one glass is enough to give me a handover, but Terry never listens,” I murmured to myself.Linda knocked again.“Jeez, Linda, can you go away?” I snapped at her in exasperation.I didn’t even care how early or late in the morning it was. Today was a free day for me, and all I wanted to do was rest.Couldn’t I have that after everything that happened yesterday?“I wouldn’t mind, but you have a guest,” Linda said.“Arrggghhh!” I growled in annoyance.“Tell whoever it is to make an appointment with Carmen, my manager,” I told her without moving a muscle from my bed.Thinking about it now, I came to a quick decision that whoever wanted to see me, would have to go through Carmen Vega. That way, I wouldn’t ge
Carmen’s POV“Carmen, are you ready now?” Millie called out, sounding over the moon excited.I couldn’t tell if it was as a result of the alcohol she had at the party or because she was standing close to Chase; he could be that intoxicating. All the women I had met that came close to Chase fell over themselves for him, so I didn’t expect Millie to be different.And what in heaven’s name were they talking about standing so closely like that?“I was thinking that you were still enjoying the party too much to want to leave, even though everyone else has,” Millie teased.She was acting strangely high, but then again, I was even too upset with her to be worried.“I didn’t enjoy the party,” I snapped, the words coming out before I could even stop them.It wasn’t a lie anyway. I was only worried that Chase might not like the statement because of his closeness with Terry.“Don’t let Terry hear you say that,” Chase muttered.His voice was so low that I even wondered how I managed to hear him.
