Chapter1
Her heart was filled with happiness after she met with the heir to the Harrington empire. Chase is a handsome, muscular, rich man of 31 years old. He has command time and is very powerful. Her name is Mia. The gala party, which was held by Johnson's company under the control of the Harrington empire, was a black tie event. The party was quite extravagant as people from every part of the city were present. The hall was decorated with fancy decorations. There were different types of gourmet foods and expensive drinks. Mia was invited by a friend, and she was very happy to witness the event.
When Chase sees her at first, she develops a strange feeling towards her, but he tries to control himself as he believes that he is a rich and powerful person and wouldn't want to stoop so low to Mia. As the party was going on, there were different types of entertainment and people with different sorts of things.
Mia was sitting beside her friend, Evelyn, who took her to the party. Evelyn was busy sipping the Craft beer in front of her. She noticed that Mia was not playing alone with the entertainment going on, she was very shy and that was her first time going out at such an event. Evelyn moved closer to her, and they started discussing the past.
Do you remember Frederick? Evelyn asked Mia. She was trying to recall who Frederick was, but before she could remember, Evelyn cut in. I mean Frederick, my ex-boyfriend. Oh! Yes, I can now remember. So what is it about him? What happened to him? Mia asked. I met him on my way to the office yesterday, and he tried to call me, but I didn't answer him. So why didn't you answer him? Mia asked.
I don't have anything to do with him again, and I have moved on with my life and never want to remember the past by any means. I believe David is the right man for me now. David is my new boyfriend. They met some months ago and their relationship has been going smoothly as it will be like that forever.
Evelyn is a serial dater. She has been in many different relationships in the past, and she is not new to anything about relationships, but things seem to be going another way since she met David. It has been about 8 months since David and Evelyn have been dating, which is very unusual. Her longest relationship in the past lasted for just 4 months.
Mia is just the opposite of Evelyn. She has a modest demeanor, and she is always trying to make things better for herself. She has suffered a lot in the past as she lost her parents at her tender age. Sterling came into her life and appeared to seem like an angel sent to her unknown to her that he had his own hidden and devilish plan to carry out.
As these discussions were going on between the two friends. A young lady of about 22 years came to sit beside Mia. Mia was very surprised because she didn't know the lady, but she was comfortable with the lady's manner of approach. Her name is Lily. She is the last child of Johnson and the sister of Chase. Her appearance is quite attractive and she looks very beautiful. She sits beside the two friends and the three make an unusual connection as they start to talk together, but Lily seems to get connected more to Mia than Evelyn as they start to talk. I am Lily by name, and I am happy to meet you both. She said Mia replied to her warmly, as they introduced themselves, and the three started to talk.
The party was coming to an end when Chase noticed his sister was with the three girls. He decided to meet up with Mia regardless of his high class. Mia exchanged contact with Lily as she lived with the two girls. After she left, Mia and Evelyn were filled with surprise to see this little girl, despite her position as a member of the Harrington empire, the most respected empire in the city, coming to them and her humility towards them. As they were preparing to leave the party, Chase went to meet them, and they were filled with shock and surprise to see the well-respected and rich man approaching them. He exchanged pleasantries with them and requested to see Mia in person. Evelyn excused them as they sat down to talk.
My name is Chase Johnson, he said, looking straight into her eyes. Mia was very shy and couldn't keep eye contact with him as she was facing down. I am Mia, she said calmly. Chase introduced himself to her and there seemed to be a form of unexpected connection between them and both of them began to discuss. Chase asked Mia if she could book an appointment to meet him on the following day in the office and she accepted. Chase bid her goodbye as both of them stood up to leave.
Evelyn was not happy with the way things were going, but she pretended to be okay with everything. She wasn't happy that Chase and her friend were talking. She was filled with the thought of what was going on between them and what exactly they were discussing and when Mia finally got to her, she pretended that everything was okay.
What was the discussion between you and the Chase? She asks Mia. Mia told her everything they had discussed, and it was obvious that she wasn't happy about it and they both of them went on their separate ways to their house. On getting home, Mia begins to recall all that had happened at the gala party as Chase comes to meet her. She started asking herself different types of questions to which she couldn't provide answers.
She loved the appearance of Chase and this got her attention. She planned to meet Chase on the second day at the office and hear whatever he had to say.
