CHASE WATCHED SILENTLY as Reyna finished her pasta. She shoved her plate aside, grabbing her napkin from the table and using it to wipe her face clean. Chase couldn't help but be enthralled at the sight of her, just as he had been since he had first seen her in the hallways of Rockland Country Day School.

Chase's memories from back then flooded his mind, as did his anger towards Sebastian. Chase had wanted Reyna, but he was unable to have her because of Sebastian, and that still angered him to this day. He hated that it had to be like this, but he just couldn't help himself. His old feelings had resurfaced the very moment he was told Reyna was going to be on the cover of Vogue, and he knew they wouldn't go away until he got what he wanted—her.

"That was delicious," Reyna chimed as she sipped at her half-finished drink.

Chase smiled at her and clasped his hands together on the table, suddenly feeling exceptionally relieved that Sebastian was shooting rather than with the two of them. If that were the case, he would have lost his opportunity. "I always come here to eat when I'm here for work. It was my fiancée's favorite place to eat."

Reyna wiped her mouth again and looked at him, her eyes narrowing at the sound of the word was. "What do you mean was?"

"I mean that she prefers Mexican over Italian now," Chase chuckled, taking a sip of his own drink.

Reyna nodded in understanding. "What's her name? When can Sebastian and I meet her?"

"Her name is Cady," Chase answered. "She actually reminds me a lot of you."

"And why is that?"

"She's headstrong and doesn't take anyone's shit, and she can also be a bit shy at times," Chase explained to her. "She also has blonde hair and green eyes just like you do."

Reyna laughed and playfully flipped her hair back behind her shoulder. "She must be gorgeous."

Chase smirked and nodded his head, slightly amused that she actually believed him. He was beginning to wonder when she was going to take notice of the fact that he didn't even have a ring on his finger. "She is very."

"So, I had fun today," Reyna told him. "I don't know why Sebastian's still so bent out of shape about you."

"Maybe because he doesn't want to see what almost happened fourteen years ago actually happen," Chase told her.

Reyna's brows pulled together in confusion, and the cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean? What happened fourteen years ago?"

Chase placed a wad of money onto the table before standing up, leaving a still-confused Reyna to follow his actions. "Why don't we take a walk and I'll tell you?"

Though she was unsure about his intentions, Reyna nodded anyway and followed him out of the restaurant. The two made their way down the sidewalk, brushing past multiple people to get to the destination Chase was leading them to. Reyna, however, found herself not paying as much attention to her surroundings as she should've been.

"So, what happened fourteen years ago?"

Chase glanced down at her before focusing his gaze ahead of him. "I'm assuming Sebastian told you about the little crush I had on you? Or maybe he mentioned obsession?"
