Hello, father. It's me, Mackenzie. How are you? How's everyone?As Mackenzie hit the send button, tears rolled down her cheeks.This was the first message she ever sent to her father in a while that did not involve her informing him that she'd wired some money to his bank account.Now that she thought about it, she realized that was vain and all the efforts she was putting into helping her father was just a heap of heavy dust. What was money going to do for her now? It could never make her a better daughter.She might die. How would money save her from her unlucky fate?"Mackenzie!" A shrill voice yelled, "Are you going to neglect the house chores again?! Your disease is not even life-threatening so don't you dare try to use it as an excuse!"Mackenzie could hear it. The mocking tone in her mother-in-law's voice.It wasn't the same tone she'd used to speak to her in the past. Could money take her back in time, when everything was so perfect?No—If anything, she'd sacrifice all the i
Mackenzie ran into the elevator and pressed the second-floor button. The moment the elevator stopped, she got out, hurrying through the hallway until she found the room door.Knock knock"Open,"Mackenzie turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.She was immediately perplexed by the sight of Chase in a silky blue robe. Her pulse immediately jerked into an erratic rhythm at how devastatingly handsome he was.He looked as though he'd just left the shower. Wet tousled black hair danced over his face, hiding away his beautiful eyes, and his lips were stunningly pink. Despite wearing a simple robe, his aura emitted prestige and his body posture was regal.The robe was parted along his chest, only held together at his waist. His smooth, tan skin flaunted his naked chest and abs muscles, sending a warm feeling through her cheeks.Mackenzie did not know what to do with herself. She felt uncouth in front of him. "It's sarcastic, isn't it," Chase spurned, "The last time you came into my ro
It was a feeling that she'd never felt before.Not even with her own husband.The pressing of his groin against her hot core and the lustrous moan that escaped his mouth as he gasped against her neck, the muscles in his arms flexing as he fucked her at a rather rapid pace."Ohh yeahh," She moaned, nothing but the sex on her mind.Usually, with her husband, she could keep her moans to a minimum and hold back slightly when it came to the sounds but with Chase, she couldn't suppress it, nor could she fake that she wasn't enjoying it because she was. And Chase was making so much effort as well.Even with the trail of sweat dripping down his forehead as he gazed down at her very naked body, he didn't seem to lose sight of what he was doing to her."Ngg," As Mackenzie's face scrunched up, focusing on the pleasure he gave her Chase slowly pulled his cock out of her causing her to open her eyes and look at him with a gaze of confusion."W-why?" She gasped breathlessly. Her breath is a mixtur
Mackenzie boarded a taxi and went straight home, ignored the untidiness of the house and picked up two simple outfits and shoved them in a bag. Then she bathed and shaved properly, barely bothering with skincare.Mackenzie got into the hospital and went up to the secretary's desk. "Mrs. Axford, how are you today?""Hello, Cecilia. I'm fine, thank you for asking. How are you?""Great. How may I help you today?""I'm here to see Dr. Paul."She was directed to him immediately as a VIP patient.Eventually, she got to see Dr. Paul who looked relieved to see her."Mrs. Axford," he enthusiastically greeted. "I'm glad you came. Your husband already gave the go-ahead to commence your treatments. You came right on time.” "Thank you, doctor."Just then, Mackenzie heard familiar voices calling out her name and when she looked, it was her husband and mother-in-law."Your husband is here," Doctor Paul said, Mackenzie noted the forceful smile on Jeffrey's face and instantly knew what it was about
When Mackenzie's eyes opened, a familiar pair of overt hazel eyes were staring down at her, audible sounds of remorse escaping his lips. The sight, although blurry, she could note the familiar lines of wrinkles around his eyes.With a strangled breath, she uttered, "Pops?"Although she wasn't certain if that possibility was correct, who among her in-laws had bushy gray hair and deep wrinkles on their face with a generous amount of white hair around their mustache and jawline? Not only that, this man smelt a lot like natural strawberries and grapes, something only a fruit farmer like her father would smell like.The sob of the man halted on hearing her voice, and when he stared down at her face, he broke down into another round of sobs."Mackenzie! My daughter!" The next thing she knew, he leaned in, hugging her gently, his tears dropping onto her face.Mackenzie was surprised.The voice really sounded like her father. She'd recognize that gruff voice anywhere.But…The last thing she
TWO MONTHS LATER***"What symptoms did you say you were having again, Mrs. Axford?" Doctor Paul asked.Across the table was Mackenzie who was sitting with a nervous expression on her face. Next to her was her father who had a hopeful expression, in contrast to hers. "The same as the last time doctor Paul, I felt lightheaded and weak when I didn't eat on time, and kept puking after I ate.""Have you been taking your medications on time, Mrs. Axford?""Yes," Mackenzie said with a bit of tenseness? in her voice. Her emotions were playing with her again and her mind was coming up with the worst possible scenarios that could happen to her. Ever since the surgery she had the previous month, she had a bit of anxiety about her health. "That's weird," Doctor Paul said, "We've just done an MRI scan to check your brain. There's no recurrent tumor. You're healing at a fast pace. You saw it yourself too.""Are you sure?" Mackenzie asked nervously."Yes, I'm sure." Doctor Paul said confidently.
Chase opened the door to his penthouse and saw his father and wife eating pizza in the living room while laughing over something they watching on the TV. They didn't notice him until he got inside and closed the door.Was this why his father made him abandon his work and hurry over like something serious was happening?"There you are!" Chase's father said, his face still round with laughter from what he was watching with Selene a few moments ago.Richard was dressed in a brown and black camouflage t-shirt and black belted trousers with a pair of black leather shoes. His face looked incredibly pink and brightened up, like a healthy man.His wife, Selene, on the other hand, was dressed in a hot pink dress with a pair of red Gucci slippers and she was wearing full-face makeup.Holding back an annoyed grunt, he moved further into the room and Selene got up from the sofa next to his father to hug him, to prove to his father that she and Chase were a very 'happy' couple.Chase caved into he
"ONETWOTHREEAND… ACTION!"The camera started rolling and the Interviewer started the show with a friendly introduction.Then he gently introduced Chase and Selene to the show.Indigo magazines could not believe their luck when the wealthiest and hottest CEO in the country, Chase Axford agreed to an interview after sending him countless invitations and even going numerous times to see him. An interview with them was the dreams of many famous celebrities but only Chase Axford could ever turned them down. "So, Mr. Chase Axford, you've achieved quite a lot of success at a very young age of 26. You started, at the age of 18, working in your father's business in the management department before eventually working your way up as CEO.""That is correct. I started as an intern in one of our subsidiaries at the age of 18 with no experience. Sure, I'd read a lot of books about managing resources and people but they were nothing compared to the real world, however the process thought me a lot
