She blinked away the tears rapidly as she stared at him."Let go of me and don't ever show me your face again. You should be lucky I'm not scarring that face of yours right now," Chase said in a cold tone and power radiated off him as he spoke.Catherine's heart dropped to the pit of her stomach at his words but she wasn't ready to give up.She was still trying to wrap her head around how their sweet dinner date had taken a whole 360 turn for the worse."Please…" She tried to beg again but he shoved her off him and walked away.He had pushed her hard and she fell on the floor and the men who had been admiring her when she entered stared at her in disgust."Isn't that Sir Ferguson's daughter?" "She's the one.""Oh my goodness."Whispers could be heard around her and soon, the sound of cameras clicking filled the air as they took pictures of her.She had never been seen in that state before. She was always dressed to the tee and stuck her nose up in the air, never a strand of hair out

"Thank you," she replied with a smile that showed her pearly whites."Please sit," he said and motioned for her to sit opposite him and she nodded."Your place is gorgeous," she started as she looked around. It was her way of finding out why he hadn't invited her to the bigger house."My grandmother is personal with her space, so this is where we received guests," he lied through his teeth as he watched her every move like a hawk.She slowly crossed her legs, showing off her long, toned legs through the slit of her dress that stopped on her waist."You look better than you did in the morning," he commented with his eyes trained on her face."About that…" she started slowly and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I was in the middle of some sort of crisis," she said."Crisis my foot," Chase said inwardly."Thank you for letting me come and see you," she said and he nodded once."What do I offer you?" He asked her. "Water? Wine?"Martha looked around and the ambiance was nice

Her mouth went dry instantly. She had expected him to curse her or call the cops on her, but what she hadn't expected was for him to actually want to hear her 'explanation'. This was because she didn't have any. She had planned everything out down to the least, but what she hadn't planned was what to say if she got caught. "I…I'm sorry," he said and bowed her head. Chase's deep and dark laughter filled the room, making her squirm. She was usually a confident woman but right there, there was absolutely no confidence left in her as she shook like a leaf in the wind. "Did you say you're sorry?" He mocked. She closed her eyes tightly and nodded, making him bark out another malicious laughter. "You wanted to get away with 'Grills 'n' Stix' by making me sign a disguised document?" He asked. Under the fake document she had asked him to sign was a document that transfered all of his shares, which means, literally handing over 'Grills 'N' Stix' to her because the restaurant was now in hi

"No….no…that's impossible ... .you're trying to mess with my head!" Mark yelled as he shook his head violently. "I watched him die. We buried him. It was an open-casket burial. He died. I saw his lifeless body laying in that casket. I saw him being put in the ground with my own two eyes. I saw it all happen. You're messing with my head," Mark fumbled over his words."Michelle Andersons, our mother, died while giving birth to you," Chase said, moving closer to him."You….you googled that," Mark rushed out."When you were eight, you hid our father's passport because he traveled so much and you missed him. He searched for his passport for hours and he missed his flight. You became remorseful and came to my room, asking what we should do and I took the passport from you and gave it back to dad, taking the blame for your actions and he spanked me that day," a single tear rolled down Chase's eyes as he recalled how close him and his brother were before greed for material things blinded him.

Martha immediately scurried to a corner on the bed as soon as she saw him. Now that she was level-headed, the fact that he was actually her ex husband sank into her and she wanted to get as far away from him as possible but she couldn't get too far due to the constraints around her hands and legs."Leave," Chase commanded the two guards that were keeping watch."Hey, Mark," he said with fake enthusiasm and walked deeper into the room.When Mark didn't reply, he grabbed his chin roughly and forced him to look at him.His eyes were hollow and empty and he obviously hadn't gotten any sleep the previous night due to Martha's screams of pleasure."Did you like my gift? Hope you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed watching your wife get fucked because everything you felt was what I felt even more that day because I actually loved her," Chase spat in his face before throwing his head to the side.Chase went to the wall that was covered with weapons and picked a lady gun."Why is it so quiet here? I
