CHAPTER 24| LITTLE SECRET
No shit.
Rumors. What rumors? Have they finally found out about Chase and I. I try to keep a composed feature but I'm freaking out internally. They can't know. That was mine and Chase's little secret. I can't believe I'm about to lose my job and everything I've worked so hard for because I couldn't keep my legs closed for one second.
You should have at least thought about that before you let your 23 years old in between your legs. My subconscious scolds me and I hate that.
" Ms. Gray, are you okay?" Chief Bradford asks.
I clear my throat and look between the two men.
" What rumors?" I try to sound normal and it seems like it's not working. I'm freaking out terribly.
" The rumors about Chase being involved with the Mafia." Chief says.
What? I shut my eyes and take in a deep breath as I open them again. What a rel

WRONG CHAPTER 25| BABE?
" Professor Gray?" A voice calls my name from outside my office. It's Wednesday and I have a date with Chase on Friday. I can't remember the last time I went out on a date. Boy, I've never been this nervous before. My date with Anderson was normal. Thinking about going on a date with Chase is so much more. He's my student, a little younger than me, and if we ever get caught, that will be the end of my job, my relationship with him, and everything I've worked for." Professor Gray, you in there?" I groan and look up from the test papers I was grading. I stand up and walk towards my office door, hoping and praying it's not Jade that's decided to drop by as I open the door. I blink my eyes in surprise as I stare at the delivery man outside my office, holding a large bouquet of flowers." Lauren Gray?" The delivery man asks. I nod." Good. These are for you." He hands me the flowers and a leaflet for me to sign. I
WRONG CHAPTER 26| WHAT YOU WANT
As I watch the tinted windows of Chase's car, I notice we're driving out of the city. I turn to look at him as he stares at the road, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel as he nods to a song playing in the stereo." What do you do, Chase?" I ask him. He looks surprised and caught off guard. Since we started this whole relationship stuff, I know nothing about this man. I know for a fact he's the senator's son and also he doesn't look like the kind of man who lives off of his father's money. Chase turns to look at me, he gives me a warm smile." You mean what I do for a living." He says and I nod. Chase shrugs as he stares at the road in front of us." I do a lot of things professor."" And I assume you don't wanna tell me." Chase laughs underneath his breath and smiles." We've got a long weekend ahead of us, professor, we're gonna do whatever th
WRONG CHAPTER 27| PROMISES
" What are you doing in LA?" I ask as I stare at Caleb. He sighs, clenching his jaw as he looks around the parking lot." Who the fuck is he Lauren?" Caleb asks, pointing accusing fingers at Chase." She's my girl, you got a problem with that?" Chase says. I turn to look at him and he's glaring at Caleb. He just literally introduced me to Caleb, my ex, that I'm his girl. Damn." Can we have a word, Lauren? In private?" Caleb asks me. As much as I don't want to talk to Caleb right now, I feel like he owes me an explanation on what he is doing in LA. Is he stalking me? I'm thinking two things right now. He's probably cheating on Regina with a girl from LA and he's here to visit her and maybe she's even in there waiting for him to come back from his 'pretentious call'. Every man's excuse and lie. Or he's really stalking me." Lauren?" Caleb urges. His jaws are still clenched and his hands are in his pockets of his slacks
WRONG CHAPTER 28| THE TRUTH
Life in LA is different from every other city in the country. The buzzing that never dies. The parties are pretty different from every other party. There's a reason it's the heart of Hollywood. Chase drives down the street as I watch the world through his tinted window." His name is Caleb." I say at once and turn to look at Chase. He's already staring at me." The guy back at the restaurant. His name's Caleb."Chase nods. " Okay."" We used to date, Chase. For four years we've been together and he wasn't all that bad. Nearly two years ago, I found out he was cheating on me with this redhead, her name's Regina…" I sigh, reminiscing the memory. It hurts a lot." I confronted him about it and he told me I'm not a wife. That I can't be a wife. I'm just not the wife material I think I am." I laugh sadly at the memory. " We were gonna get married. I was in love with him and he fooled me. Took everything I had

I can't believe I'm in love with my client.A few blocks from my apartment, I ask Chase to stop his car. We can't be seen together. It can jeopardize everything. My job, my relationship with him.

WRONG CHAPTER 30| HURT

I have always been this carefree person, but the minute Caleb showed up in my life, everything went to shambles. We fought and fought, then he proposed to me, and then I finally ended the relationship. The first year, I thought I was gonna die. I'd given up on relationships and I vowed to focus on my job and have fun. And fun, I agreed to have by following Roxie to this top Miami club. And that was when I met this beautiful blonde man, with a smile that can melt your heart. He was the best thing that's ever happened to me in a long time. And then I hurt him.

WRONG CHAPTER 31| KEEP CHASING YOU
CHASE'S POV I can't think. I can't concentrate. Lauren was supposed to be here with me. It's my family's dinner and I told them I was gonna bring someone. I was gonna bring a woman who's stolen my heart. It's heartbreaking she didn't want me. I mean she told me had feelings for me. She said she has fallen in love with me, so why break up with me? I have never understood women growing up. I never did and I don't bother because I didn't care. I just wanna get laid and when morning comes you should be out of my bed before I wake up. I make sure they don't even spend the night in my house sometimes. But all that changed the minute I saw her in a tight red dress in that club. She was so pure, her soul was the purest of them all. Even before she noticed me that day, I already saw
WRONG CHAPTER 32| MISERABLE WITHOUT YOU
I park my car outside Chase's penthouse building and heave a deep breath. From my window I stare at his penthouse and the lights were switched on. He's around and I'm nervous. My heart beat hard against my chest and I bite my lip. My hands are sweaty and I doubt if this is a good idea. Should I just start my car and drive out of this place? No, that's so cowardice of me. I just wanna know if he's okay or not. I just need to know why he's avoiding my class and nothing more. Plus, he's also my client and it's my duty to protect his ass. I've been called to drop by my superior's office on Monday but I've been avoiding the office. I didn't know what to say or do. I'm not ready for my boss and people who I work for to know about what transpired between Chase and I. I'm not ready to lose my job.I open my bag and bring out a lipstick. I roll it out and apply th
