Chapter 16: End of Contract!
It was Chelsea who held Rose's wrist; her grip was firm. She pulled Rose's hand down and pushed her back. Rose stumbled, bumping into Elizabeth, who steadied her."Blake doesn't have to hit a woman," Chelsea said, her voice clear and cold, addressing not just Rose but the entire stunned crowd. "Because I will hit any woman who lays their hand on him."Another wave of shock. “Is she serious?“ “She is defending him against the Hackleys Just because he saved her from colliding with the Captain?”“I mean, he didn’t do much for her to feel indebted to him.”Rose and Elizabeth huddled together, wary of Chelsea's sudden and fierce protectiveness."Fine!" Rose snapped, her voice laced with defiance and hurt. "I don’t give a rat’s ass about Blake. We are here for the signing ceremony. Just hand over the contract, Ms. London! I'll sign it and get out of this... this disaster of a party.""Yes," Elizabeth seconded, glaring at Blake. "He's a curse and a plague. You'll see, Ms. London. Everything
Chapter 15: Her Man!
The silence stretched, thick and heavy, after Blake's declaration. A collective holding of breath. Then, a ripple of disbelieving murmurs."Did he just say...?""Her man?""Who is he kidding?""The audacity!"Elizabeth said in a harsh voice, “That bastard has gone too far.”Rose couldn’t believe her ears. She thought the idea of him being on drugs was just her mother being a great liar, but now she is starting to believe that Blake might be really delusional. To think he was holding the hand of the Chelsea London of the London Empire. Many men far more wealthy and influential would be dying for such opportunities and here he was thinking he could even measure up to a cleaner.Captain Dowell, who was still hurting from Mason's punches and was desperate to redeem himself after his outrageous outburst a few minutes earlier, saw this chance and lunged forward, aiming to yank Blake's hand from Chelsea's. But he had overestimated himself. His head immediately felt lighter, his vision blurry
Chapter 14: Of Course, Blackmail!
The hall fell silent again, this time in stunned disbelief. Captain Dowell had just yelled at Chelsea London. The chief security officer. Yelling at his boss was a sign that had guests dropping their jaws.Dowell's eyes became clear, and his shoulders brought down. It took him but seconds of silence that followed his outburst for him to realize what he had just done. He took a step back. He thought to himself, “What the hell did I just do?”“Ms. London… I… I didn’t mean to…” Before Dowell could even apologize for his grave mistake, an act so wrong a part of him knew ten years of hard work had just gone down the drain. In a matter of seconds, a figure stepped forward from Chelsea's entourage. Mason William, Chelsea's COO, a man in his mid-forties with a quiet intensity. Mason's face was a mask of cold fury.Mason didn't speak. He simply raised his hand and delivered a sharp, open-handed slap across Captain Dowell's face. The crack echoed through the silent hall. Dowell staggered back,
Chapter 13: A Liar and a Fraud!
Rose and Elizabeth stared at Chelsea, their faces pale. "What the hell is going on? How does Ms. Chelsea know about Rose and Blake?" Elizabeth thought to herself, her earlier confidence completely gone.Chelsea didn't answer Rose's question, her gaze still steady on the Hackleys.Captain Dowell sensed the shift in the air, but he was still focused on his duty and his chance to impress Ms. Rose and now Ms.Chelsea as well. He stepped forward. "Ms. London, with all due respect, who this man used to date doesn’t excuse his behavior today. Whether he's Ms. Hackley's ex or not, he's still a criminal and a nuisance to this event. He was just released from prison. Imagine what the news and bloggers will say: ‘A hardened criminal crashes the Chels Corps grand signing ceremony.’ It will be a huge disgrace for the company and a stain on your name. We need to find out who invited him."Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd. "He doesn't look like he belongs here." "Who would invite som
Chapter 12: The Arrival of Chelsea London!
The sudden announcement cut through the chaos. Everyone instantly straightened, smoothing clothes and composing faces. The air of tension was replaced by one of expectant awe. Rose and Elizabeth composed themselves; their earlier fury was momentarily forgotten, and they quickly adjusted their expressions, trying to appear poised. Rose shot Blake a look of pure venom. “You…you ruined everything!“ Rose said as she walked away and moved closer to Foryer."You just dug your own grave," Elizabeth whispered to Blake as she moved to stand beside Rose. "You should have taken the money, you ex-convict."Blake ignored her, his gaze fixed on the entrance.Chelsea London entered, a vision of elegance and power, an entourage following in her wake. The guests' heads bowed in respect as she moved through the crowd, a queen among her subjects.Her eyes, however, immediately registered the knot of security guards, as well as the whimpering man on the floor, and Blake standing calmly amidst the lingeri
Chapter 11: Captain Dowell II!
Captain Dowell, a man who had climbed the ranks at Chels Corp through a mix of diligence and knowing the right people, felt a surge of annoyance. He was about to put this arrogant ex-con in his place and earn some serious points with Ms. Rose and potentially Ms. Chelsea. But just then... his name was called.He turned, along with everyone else. Marching towards them, looking completely out of place amidst the glittering crowd, was his younger brother, Jonah, and a few of his equally rough-looking friends. Captain Dowell had pulled some strings to get them invitations, a chance for his street-level brother to see how the other half lived, and maybe boost his own standing by association.The guests were noticeably uncomfortable with the arrival of Jonah and his friends, as they were not elites like themselves. “Who the hell let these guys in? I thought this ceremony was only for the prestigious folks.” A lady in a red dress said while clutching her drink tight.“Those are the chief se
