All through the day, Chase didn't step out of his room. He alternated between lying on his bed, sitting and pacing about his room as he thought about the new phase of his life.After helping Bernard, if only he knew he was going to make him a part of his family, he would have kept his distance from him, if he had done, he strongly believed he wouldn't be in this kind of situation. Despite his current dilemma, Chase didn't even allow the thought of returning to his home to cross his mind. He was determined not to return but to stay back and steer his life in the direction he wanted. Zara on the other hand kept calling him and when he wouldn't pick up, she gave up. At about five pm when the restaurant was going to start booming with customers who were on their way back from work, Chase left for work. “She wouldn't show up.” He muttered as he slid into the taxi he had boarded, referring to Zara. When the chauffeur turned in his direction, he quickly waved him off and then sank into h

It was now three weeks after Chase left and Zara kept hoping he would return but that didn't happen.At work, she kept putting up her best and at the same time hoping Chase would have a conversation about what had happened with her but he acted like nothing of that sort happened leaving her frustrated but she didn't show or act like she was. Pulling her luggage, Zara made her way towards the mansion. After a ton of review on if moving out was worth it, she finally returned to her family house. That morning, Katherine and Raven were preparing to head to the company when Zara arrived. On seeing her, the duo exchanged glances, trying to get answers to unasked questions. Zara on the other hand was lying on the couch with her phone in her face. She was aware of their presence but pretended not to have any idea. “What are you doing here?” Raven broke the silence in the living room as she walked up to her.Not bothering to look in her direction, Zara replied, “The last time I checked, I

Zara, who was standing next to Wembley, brushed past him and with the speed of lightning, she found her way to Chase's side. Grasping his hand, she gulped, trying to steady her heavy breathing but she couldn't. Digging her hand into her hair, she began to tug on it, trying to come up with the right words to say to him. “Chase please, don't allow them to take me away.” She cried. “Why? They are your family and since there's nothing binding you and Chase, you should return to them, don't you think?” Wembley shot at her. He had been trying to keep his cool but with each passing second, his wrath was increasing to an unbearable level. “You can do whatever you want, but I won't return to you.” Chase said, his gaze fixed on Katherine who had been glaring at him. Smiling, she pushed her hair away from her face and now holding her purse, said, “I hope you don't come crawling on with knees because I will play this record to you.” She said, waving her phone in his face. At once, Z

With a huff, Zara pulled her last luggage through the door and with a tired look on her face, she banged the door shut only to fall on the next available couch. Shutting her eyes tightly, she pushed her hand into her hair as a little smile appeared on the side of her lips. Before dropping by FlavorQuest the previous day, she had made a stop at a housing agent who showed her a catalog she should choose from after which she paid her rent fee.“This is a dream come true.” She mused, now lying on her side as a bright smile appeared on her lips. For a while now, she had been fantasizing about getting a house of her own and now it was a reality. Her excitement was what lured her to sleep that night. ***“Shit!” Zara muttered as she sat up on the couch she had spent her night on. Throwing her legs off the couch, she hurried towards the bathroom to have a quick bath. She was already getting late for work after reading out the new rule and regulations she had drafted the previous night.

With disappointment written all over her face, Raven returned to her mother. The moment Katherine saw her, she sank into her chair, she didn't need anyone to tell her it didn't go well, Raven's face and countenance says it all. “Mother, we have lost Chase completely. There is nothing we can do anymore rather than to let go of the strife against him.” She mumbled, plopping on the creamy couch. With her lips caged in between her teeth, she pushed her hair away from her face and after a few minutes of silence, turned her attention to Katherine who was staring at her. “What… is anything the issue?” She asked with a raised brow. “You have just five minutes to make the decision.” Katherine replied, her tone cold and icy. Confused, Raven began to dart her eyes around, trying to read a meaning to what she had just heard but the more she thought of it, the more confused she became. “I already told you that I'm going to deal with Chase until he comes crawling back to me.
