28 CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGH

Chase's POV

I've made up my mind to find out what's going on between Judith and Ash.

I know Ash very well and seeing him with Judith is not a coincidence.

He knew Judith was my friend and that we got married. So how did they end up together in the club?

I pick my phone and dial Ash's number and after few rings, he answered

"My office now" I say and ended the call.

I wasn't sure if he'd come or not. But let's see how desperate he is.

It was Saturday but I wanted to meet up with him here since I came to pick up some files.

I spoke with my Dad earlier, telling him about Ash coming over to my office to apologize and he told me that's very good and that maybe Ash was just trying to settle the feud between us and I should call him over and talk to him.

I used that as a logic to get Ash to trust me and I pray it works.

"""""""""""

I waited for about an hour, keeping myself busy with office work when I hear a knock and I ask them to come in and in came Ash.

He had this excitement over his face and it was bugging me.

"You called" he said taking a seat, and I smile

"I spoke with my Father today and he begged me to talk to you but I wanted to hear what you have to say first" I lied relaxing myself in order not to look doubtful.

"Oh thank God. I just wanted to apologize man, I know I've been a jerk to you in a very long time and I don't want the issue of this company to keep coming in between us so I've decided to let go and get you back." He explains wearing a fake hurtful expression and I played along. Pretending I was buying it.

"How do I know this is not one of your cunning tricks?" I added even though I already know it is.

"Just give me a chance and I'll prove it to you" he replied and I exhaled.

I stood up and walked to where he was seated and then bent over to his sitting height and got close to his face

"If you are lying to me and I find out, I'll punch you till you have no blood left inside you" I threatened and he gulped and then nodded.

"Very well" he said and I shift and walk to my seat.

There's one thing I know very well about Ash, and that's not giving up this company. So if he's telling me he wants to give up right now then I'm more than sure there's something up his sleeve.

*********

I got home and went straight to the kitchen where I was hearing some noise from, it was Judith and the head of maids, she was saying something funny that was causing them to laugh but I didn't want to ruin my plan and so I played along.

"Oh you're home today" I say as I turn to leave and went straight to my room.

I hear footsteps but i didn't look back.

"Chase" Judith said and I turn to her, stopping at the front of my room

"Please I'm not in any mood to fight you this afternoon" I lied pretending as if I was still angry

"I'm not either. I just want us to get past our differences, I know you don't love me and perhaps never will, but just accept this baby and me as a family. That's all I'm asking" she says and I stare at her.

"If I didn't accept the both of you, trust me you wouldn't be in this house right now." I added and then turn to leave but stopped when I felt her hands on top of my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Chase, I don't want you to hate me or the baby" she says, and anger was building inside me because I definitely hate her already but I cooled down, turned to her and smiled.

"I don't hate you Judith, come on. Come inside" I say and I could see the shock in her face but happiness replaced it and she entered my room.

I brought up childhood memories and we talked about it for hours, causing us to laugh and while away time. Eventually she fell asleep and I didn't ask her to leave.

I picked her phone gently and tried opening it but it was on password.

Great

I tried her name, and some words but it didn't work.

I don't know if I can get this opportunity again, so I kept trying but then I decided to try her mother's name.

If there's someone she loves in this life so much, that'll be her late mother and luckily it opened.

And that made me smile.

I tap on it and then checked her inbox, and shockingly I saw messages from a man and it seems they're having a relationship.

I read all the messages and I was very surprised and angry at the same time when I found out she had a plan with this guy to marry me and get me to make the baby my inheritor and she getting some money from me.

I picked the number immediately and then locked her phone and kept it back to its place.

I went over to my phone and compared the numbers and wow it was Ash's.

Now I know their plans, and motives.

I quickly dial Justin's cell phone asking him to meet up.

••••••••••••

"Dude are you sure of what you're saying right now?" Justin asked me for the nth time and I answer with yes for the nth time.

"Good, there's a chance you can get Amaya back with this Chase, this is good news" he added smiling and nudging my arm.

"Yes but the problem is how I get them together" I say and he laugh.

"I have a plan" he says, winking and as I said earlier Justin's plans are always bad.

I exhale shaking my head.
