MEGHAN Love? Chase wouldn't know what love is if it smacked him in the face. I heard the whole phone conversation with his father, and it burned my insides. Not that I cared who he married at this point, but how could he do this to me while being engaged to some other girl? He thought he could keep me by his side as some kind of accessory. He must be out of his mind! "We are landing. Don't try to escape or scream for help. My men will be waiting for us at the airport, and if they see you do anything funny, they are instructed to inject you with a sedative. You don't want that, do you, Meg?" Chase waggled his brows. His men? What is he? Part of a Mafia? "Don't worry, Chase, I'll be a good girl. Just don't try to force yourself on me, or I'll bite your dick off," I said and glared at him. Chase grinned. "Feisty, I must say, Meg. I'm enjoying this side of you. You were always so quiet in college. I thought you were shy and sweet. But I like the little bit of fire in you. It turns me

ADRIANDad tried to discourage me one last time before I got on the plane, but I didn't listen. My mind was full of Meghan. If they are not going to try everything to get to her, then I will.I called Tiffany and gave her some lame excuse because I didn't want to hurt her. I will explain everything once I get back to Miami.Maybe I should've done this when Maggie first moved away because if I had, we wouldn't be in this situation. If I had asked her to stay in Miami, maybe she wouldn't have moved to Boston, and then Chase would've never come into the picture.But it was too late to think about all that.I checked into my hotel room and jumped into bed. It had been a long night, so I could hardly keep my eyes open. I looked at my phone, hoping to see a message from Maggie. Or a miscall. But there was none, so I sent her a message. Maybe she wasn't in a position to call but a text message...My phone blinked after a few minutes, so I snatched it off the end table.'Adrian, I told you I

ADRIANIt wasn't hard to find the girls' dorms. I marched straight into the main office and cleared my throat.The blonde girl at the front desk looked up, and her eyes lit up. She must've been sitting here all day, bored out of her mind."Hey! Haven't seen you around here before," she chirped. She had a friendly smile on her face, much more welcoming than the woman before."Hey, I am Adrian." I smiled widely, trying to turn up my charm."Hey, Adrian," what can I do for you?" she asked, returning my smile."I'm looking for someone. My girlfriend. Can you help me?" I asked. I hope I didn't hit another dead end again."Sure, what's her name?" she asked."Lisa," I said quickly. Maybe this girl is more willing to help me than the grumpy woman at the admissions office.The blonde raised an eyebrow. "Lisa? That's a common name. We have five Lisas around here, so you need to narrow it down for me. What's her last name?""Lisa Mendez," I said.She stared at me for a few seconds without blinki

CHASEI spent an entire day planning this date in my mind. I wanted everything to be perfect, so I handpicked a dress for her and sent it over with Charlie.I wanted to show her what she would be missing if she didn't choose me over Adrian.I brought her to this very expensive restaurant my father owned so she could have the finest meal tonight. What more did she want from me?And after dinner, maybe she will let me have a taste... although it didn't seem like she was warming up to me at all. But damn....after seeing her in the dress I bought her, I had this image of her in my mind.It was her lying on the bed naked with her legs parted. So sexy and so inviting. I wondered how long I would have to wait before the mental image became a reality.The waitress came by to take our orders, so I turned my attention away from Meghan and looked at the other girl in front of me."Would you like a menu, Miss?" she asked Meghan since there was only one menu on the table."There is no need," I chi

MEGHAN I didn't think Chase was capable of violence. I really didn't. He was always so put together and didn't get angry all the time not even when Adrian treated him like shit. But last night, when he almost hit me, I saw something in his eyes that shook me to my core. A certain darkness that surrounded him. For the first time, I realized I didn't know him at all. But could he really hurt me? He couldn’t, right? He did stop himself halfway and didn't strike me. So, he did have some self-control. But what if next time he didn’t stop himself and hit me? What then? I had no choice but to sit here and take it because I wasn’t strong enough to fight him. God, I wish Adrian was here. Someone knocked on the door, waking me up from my trance. “Who is it? If it, is you, Chase, I don’t want to see your fucking face!” I yelled. I heard a woman laugh on the other side of the door. Leslie... The door opened, and she came in without my permission. I don't know why she bothered to knock
