Chapter 33
Chase raised my chin and slowly pressed his lips against mine. He used his tongue to make way into my mouth.
I felt blanked out and I couldn’t even think straight. Chase did not just kiss me! It must be my imagination.
I’m going crazy.
His mouth is so warm and his lips tastes like Cherry, in as much as I’m kind of excited that the kiss happened, I won’t have him regard me as a cheap whore.
I pushed him back with all my might and then, I slapped him.
He just held his cheek and then smile.. and this smile,.. I haven’t seen Chase smile this much.
“Get dressed and come downstairs Doll, you’ve to accompany me somewhere” Without another word he opened the door and walk out.
I fall on my bed in shook. He’s playing with my mind, he’s trying to make me look crazy.
Slowly I raised my hand and touched my lips.
“Why!! Why did he do that!” I shouted and kicked the floor.
What did he take me for? How can he just step in, grab my chin up and kiss me without my permission!
That was my first kiss, he stole my fucking first kiss.
A sharp pain on my chest make me wince in pain. It hurts!
I sighed and stared at my body, I was still wrapped in my towel and my body is already so dry as I haven’t apply any lotion after my bath.
That means I’ll be needing to go back into the shower.

I walked down the stairs counting each step I take, I suddenly feel embarrassed to show up in front of Chase.
But I shouldn’t be the one embarrassed, Chase should.
My mind suddenly drive to Charlotte, I haven’t seen her since yesterday and I assume that she’s out.
Well, I’m glad she’s no longer around.
Chase was sitting on the chair in the dining room when I arrived. I stood and stare at him from behind then bite my lower lips.
“I can do this” I muttered to my self.
…..
Gray walked into the bar room but stopped when his phone started ringing , he turned and step out of the bar room before picking up the call.
“What?” He said to the caller.
“You’re going to show up? Why….. Don’t you think it’s too early?” Gray ask.
“I know, but they have to know about me. I need to see them”
“The last son, Rowan.. will be going through the ritual ceremony tonight. You might come there instead of showing up at his apartment”
“Okay Gray, thank you for handling things for me while I was aware. Once everything is over, you’ll get a huge share and everything they have will be ours. I promise”
Gray smiled before replying.
“I’m doing it for myself too. I have to make sure I destroy everything they ever had and I need to make them go through the same pain I have been on all the years of my life. They have to pay for making us look worthless.”
“Is Okay Gray.. I’ll see you tonight”
“When you show up, pretend you don’t know me till I introduce myself to you. They can’t suspect anything so we have to stay low”
“Okay. We’ll have a lot to talk about tomorrow. Have a nice day Son”
The call disconnected and Gray sigh before putting the phone back inside his pocket. He ran his hand through his hair making it messy.
Turning back, Gray walk into the bar room once again.
“A glass of lette wine please..” he said to the waiter who nodded and walk to get his order.

Chase packed the car at the garage and got down, Calista did the same.
Calista stared at the huge building which looks like a company , it’s more like a white house and everyone walking in or out is dressed on a black suit.
With her research , she hadn’t see any information that say Chase owns a company. Or else he hides it away from the media.
Chase started walking in and Calista followed him behind. It was just him and her, he hadn’t come with the driver , Tyrell or any of his guards.
Walking in, everyone bow down to Chase as he walk past. Calista didn’t fail to notice that Chase didn’t respond to any of the greetings as he acted like they’re all invisible.
Calista wondered why Chase have to bring her along with him.
He entered into the elevator and Calista entered too, there’s an awkward silence among them.
Calista stole a glance at Chase, he was looking hot on the simple black pants , white shirt and black jacket he’s putting on.
Biting her lower lips as she thought about what happened in the morning, she looked away and sigh.
She should be very angry with him for stealing her first kiss without her consent. And he had acted like he didn’t know anything.
He’s acting cold and grumpy once more and she hated it.
Sad, Calista wondered why she can’t just hate him.
The elevator opened and Chase walk out , there’s still lot of workers who greeted and bowed to him.
Calista walk behind him, keeping her distance. Chase entered a large meeting room…
And that was when Calista realized he’s there because of the meeting. There’s so many people sitting in the meeting room including Rowan…
Confused if she should walk in with him or wait outside, she decided to just wait outside the door.
“You came with Calista?” Rowan whispered to Chase when he walk to his seat.
He nodded and sat down as the meeting began.
“GCC Company brought the proposal to merge and do business with our company…”
“Who’s the CEO?” Chase asked and there was silence.
“That’s what we’ve been trying to figure it since last week and since we couldn’t figure it out we think it’s best if you should come over yourself. You haven’t been in this company for three years and the company haven’t been running so good… We need you ”
“I have other thing to handle, I can’t just sit and run one business. If there’s any difficult you can contact me….. I’ll try to find out how the company have been running since last three years and we’ll sit up ” Chase said.
“About the GCC Company…. How can they try to merge with us and keep their CEO a secret?” Rowan asked.
“Let me see the report…” Chase instructed.
A file was handed to him and he opened and look into it, taking his time to read the reports about the company. He dropped the file after….Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“We can’t merge with them. And I’ll not like to see them in the future” Chase said and everyone gasped.
“Boss, they have the highest proposal.”
“This meeting is over” he announced and stood up first.
Others stood up too and bow before walking out of the meeting room murmuring.
Now only Chase and Rowan in the meeting room , Rowan stood up and walk closer to Chase.
“The Mafia ritual is tonight…. I’m happy, can you bring Calista with you?” Rowan asked.
Chase look at him and tap his shoulder…
“She’s not a Goodfella, she can’t”
Rowan nodded and smile… They both walk out of the meeting room and meet Calista standing by the door staring around.
“Calista.. Nice to see you here.” Rowan said and Calista just smile and look at Chase more like trying to know his expression.
“Wanna grab some drinks with me?” Rowan asked.
Chase walk up to Calista and grab her hand pulling her closer to himself.
“She can’t…” He said to Rowan who smiled and nodded before walking out. Chase turn to look at Calista who still have a shock expression on her face.
“Let’s go..” he muttered to her.
