Alle Kapitel von Chase Me Again: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Jessica's POV I realized I was hoping that the person who came was Zander.I tried to shake this absurd thought out of my mind and said to Alvin, "Don't be ridiculous. Who would I be hoping for? Just a slip of the tongue, that's all."Alvin looked at me, smiled, and didn't continue the topic. 

Zander's POV I wasn't really planning on leaving. I just wanted to tease her a bit.But Jessica, being sick, didn't have the energy to see through it.Seeing her now, weak and reliant on me, a corner of my heart surged with warmth. For nearly a year, I had been cold towards her.

We were just minutes away from tumbling into bed together.The damned lights returned like a cold blade, ruthlessly severing the aura we had been wrapped in.The moment the power came back, it was as if the world snapped back onto its tracks.The flame that had just ignited between us was wavering under the sudden brightness.Jessica seemed to regain her senses with the return of the lights, pushing me away forcefully.I was still dazed, and stumbled backward from the force of her push.Each intimate moment we had just shared shattered like foam.But I was already aroused.My pants taut with the discomfort of my erection.When Jessica's gaze inadvertently swept over the evidence of my arousal, it was like a jolt of electricity, hitting me and causing every nerve to tremble with excitement.Yet the clear embarrassment on her face doused me with cold water, cooling the passion that had just been boiling.She quickly averted her head, avoiding my gaze.Then, she sai

His tactics were just so-so.Alvin nodded slightly and turned to Tabitha, his tone steady and calm, "I see. Release what we prepared earlier.""And that's all?" Tabitha questioned."One more thing, check who is absent now," Alvin added.Tabitha's face was etched with concern. She wanted to say something more but stopped herself, simply responding with an "Okay," before hurrying out of the office.The door closed. Alvin and I took out our phones to check Frank's live stream.On my phone screen, Frank's face loomed large. His expression was exaggerated and almost comical as he spoke at length.He waved his left hand tow

Jessica's POVI stood quietly. Gazing at the bodyguard and the impressive convoy before me, my thoughts inevitably drifting back to my childhood.It was a time deeply branded by my family's unique background.My father, the legendary figure who once commanded the entire Mafia kingdom in the underworld, made a significant decision that changed the fate of our family - entering the business world.However, this decision was not without its challenges.Many rival Mafia families still harbored resentment towards us. They were seeking opportunities to provoke trouble.During those days, my life was surrounded by strict security measures.Whether it was my daily commute to school or occasional outings, I was always accompanied by a group of well-trained bodyguards.Later, Justin made an extremely cautious arrangement.He chose his most trusted subordinate, Johnny, to become my adoptive father.As a result, I spent most of my time living with Johnny.I only returned to New York, to the home
