Adele pulled the sheet higher, resting her head on Chase’s bare chest, her fingers tracing slow circles against his skin.After a while, her breath left her in a long, shaky sigh, her body sinking deeper into the mattress.Thankfully, the baby was safe.When Chase returned last night, his kiss had been rough and desperate. Two months apart had stripped away her strength to refuse intimacy.Chase stood up without a word, his face empty, unlike the desire she saw in his eyes while he was whispering sweet nothings to her ears last night. He washed up and wore a custom black suit that fit his perfect tall and muscular build and was currently staring into his phone with seriousness while looking lazy and powerful at the same time.Adele bit her lips, her cheeks turned red as she stared at him.When Chase noticed her staring at him, he asked her calmly. “Shall we have breakfast?” His tone soothing her soul.“Yes!” Adele whispered trying to suppress her excitement as she wore her pyjamas and

Pain radiated through his jaw, but he stayed still.Zain’s chest tightened as he looked at Chase and felt even more sorry than he felt for himself. He was unmoving, his back pressed against the cold marble floor. His eyes were open, staring blankly upward, yet they saw nothing.“I’m sorry you couldn’t love me the way I loved you, Adele,” Chase whispered, a bitter scoff shaking the edge of his voice.“Chase!” Zain said softly, the anger in his voice already dissipating. “She isn't worth it, okay?
