All Chapters of FATED CHASE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Yeah, we have to go.” Aunt Olivia said and I was delighted to hear that.I couldn’t wait to leave that place. I understand Caleb did a lot to have us together for the meal but his dear lover has disrupted it. If Laura hadn’t come then I have no idea about when Aunt Olivia would have agreed for us to leave.As aunt Olivia stood up, Caleb went to her and hold her hands.“Thanks for honoring my invitation. I will ensure whoever is behind the theft case is punished accordingly.” He said.“Thank you so much! I appreciate you sincerely.” She uttered.I paused. What if Laura was behind it? Will he be able to stand by his words? I feigned a smile. I watched him walk past me like I never existed and hugged Anna as he appreciated her for coming.“I hope to see you soon, thanks for coming.” Caleb said, his face brewing with happiness.I wasn’t deceived by his happiness. It was just a mask! Behind it was a angry man who felt like hitting Laura for interrupting all of a sudden.“I am also honored

SARAHI was speechless as we returned home. A lot was on my mind but there was no one who could help me out. It was my cross to bear.I went to Nelly’s room and laid flat on his bed.“Mom, there is something bothering me.” He looked sad, making me sit up.“What could that be?” I questioned with a worried tone.“Who is my father? I was given an assignment to write a composition about my father and I don’t know what to write. Where is my father? When can I meet my father?” He spoke bitterly.“That is not a problem, dear. I can tell you what to write.” I said.“I want to write from my personal experience with my father not what someone feels about him.” He groaned“Calm down, Nelly. Write about uncle Josh.” I suggested.“Is uncle Josh my father?” He said, staring at me.“I never said so.” I uttered quickly.“Then who is my father. Can I see his picture?” He spoke with a serious look.I fidgeted. If I show him his father’s picture, will he be able to understand my reasons for keeping it a

CALEB I could barely focus. I returned to the car hastily while Silas followed after me and took the driver's seat.“Do you want to run mad because of a woman? I know that you love her but if you d*e today, the men that would seek her attention will be more than the rival you have now.” “It's better you have a sound might and fight for what you want. If only you had listened to me.” Silas spoke unapologetically.“I get,” I muttered.“Let me take you home.” Silas said with a low tone, making me hiss.“Take me to your house. I need to cool off.” I said weakly.Silas didn't argue. The moment he ignited the car, I received a call from Aunt Olivia stating I should see her immediately if I can.I felt there was urgency in the message. Delay might be dangerous so I looked at Silas.“Change of plans. Drive to Sarah's house.” I said.“What? Why do you want to go there? After what happened earlier, I can't take you there.” Silas spoke with his voice etched with authority.I expected him to ju

CALEB The next day, I woke up a bit late. After freshening up, I went downstairs and I was greeted by Laura who was arranging the table for breakfast.“Breakfast is ready.” She said softly. If I was to judge by her voice, I would have called her an angel but by character, she is far from that.I ignored her swollen eyes which were evidence that she had been crying.“Silas is around. Will he get food to eat?” I said and she nodded.“Yes, there's enough food that can go round.” She replied and I called him, notifying him that breakfast was ready.Soon, Silas joined us at the dining table. While I had eaten half my food, Silas was done eating.“I have to leave now so that I can change my clothes. Don't be late. I will see you at the office.” Silas uttered and left.“Can we talk about last night?” She began. How I wish she knew how much hatred I have for her because of her evil act. Can't she read one's mind? Bringing the topic up again was like adding gasoline to a fire.“No. I don't w

CALEB“Uncle, who was that man? Is he Nelly’s father? That woman is his mother, I have seen her several times at school” She said but I cleared my throat and started the car.“He is not Nelly’s father. Keep quiet.” I muttered.She looked at me via the rear mirror but I ignored her. I knew my words had nothing on her, she was still going to talk.“Why are you angry? It is just a question that needs a simple response.” Elena spoke confidently in the car.“If there is anything going on, why don’t you share it with me. A problem shared is half solved.” He muttered and I had to glance at her face. This girl was too wise for her age, she was just six for crying out loud!“There is no problem.” I managed to say. She touched my shoulder and said.“I feel there is a connection between you and Nelly that I can’t explain. I don’t believe that you don’t have a problem.” He went on and guilt of lying filled my mind.“Let me be, Elena. I have a lot on my mind, forget about this topic. She shrugged
