Chapter-39

Author's POV

" Don of Northern States!" Another voice boomed out of nowhere.

Rose looked at the big man standing infront of Chase. He was dark-skinned, tall and had an athletic body. Along with him stood a white woman who looked like she was in her early twenties. She was tall and her wavy blonde hair complemented her fair skin.

" Hey, Jacob!" Chase said.

Jacob was smiling ear to ear.

" How are you man!!!" Jacob was enthusiastic.

They both shook their hands and hugged each other.

" Who is this beautiful young lady?" Jacob said, eyeing Rose with admiration.

Rose looked aside, shying.

Chase encircled his arms around her waist gently and she looked at him. He looked into her eyes a little longer before turning towards Jacob.

" She is MY GIRL" Chase said, sounding proud and possessive.

Rose faked a smile.

" Wow....she is so beautiful Don! When did this happen?" Phoebe, the white lady beside Jacob asked, excited.

Rose felt awkward.

She didn't understand the necessity of Phoebe's excited tone.

" Rose...this is my cousin Phoebe and this is Jacob, her boyfriend and my business partner" Chase introduced them.

Rose shook her hands with both of them.

" My good lord... How are you so beautiful Rose?" Phoebe asked again.

Rose smiled in hesitation.

What should I say???? Rose wondered.

" Makeup maybe..." Rose said, earning a chuckle from Chase.

Phoebe and Jacob also giggled.

" Stop pestering her!" Chase said, annoyed.

Rose never felt this thankful for his annoyance. She didn't know how to answer Phoebe's almost stupid questions.

Phoebe rolled her eyes at her annoying cousin and they made their way towards the bar.

Chase never left her hands. She was getting bored. Many of them talked to Chase with so much respect and fear.

She was fed up faking smile at literally everyone. One thing she was glad that no one dared to look into her eyes. She felt quite safe with him.

Chase, Rose, Phoebe and Jacob were sitting on the couch. All three of them were drinking, except Rose. She was just sitting, looking here and there.

She was feeling thirsty and hungry too. She wanted to drink something. She didn't want to ask him for water. So, without thinking much, she grabbed the small glass and gulped the colourless content in one go.

Chase watched her in awe as she drank a shot of vodka in one go.

Rose coughed as it burnt her throat.

" This is definitely not a water!" She made a goofy face looking at Chase.

He chuckled.

" That's vodka love..." Chase said, caressing her cheeks.

Rose rolled her eyes at him feeling light-headed.
