Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 98

Olivia’s POV

A couple of hours later, Olivia was putting her pajamas back on while Chase was resting naked in her bed. He was sitting up, his back against the headboard, watching her with a lazy gaze as she slipped back into her panties and then her pajama bottoms.

“Does this mean I don’t get a round three?” he asked.

Olivia rolled her eyes at him. “You’ll be moving into your own room now. I have the keys for you on the

dresser.”

“Come on, love. I’m comfortable here. You wouldn’t kick me out of your room for real, would you?”

“No one can see us together,” Olivia said firmly. While she certainly appreciated the eye candy Chase provided and liked to make use of his body, she had already had her fill of both of those things. “Did you

forget why I called you here?”

Chase dropped his head back on the headboard and groaned. “No.”

“Then prove it. Get up, get dressed, and get to your own room.”

Chase rolled onto his side, dropping his chin into his palm as he rested his elbow on the mattress. “I like

it when you take charge like that. So sexy.”

On any other day, perhaps Olivia would have fallen back into bed with him, but not today. There was too

much at stake to waste time on some fling. Her endgame was Julian, and she would not blow that for

some piece of ass.

Even one that she enjoyed as much as Chase.

“I don’t have time for this,” Olivia said as she pulled on her pajama top.

Chase frowned a little as she covered herself. Pouting, he said, “Fine. But surely you have a gift for me?”

Olivia sighed and walked toward her suitcase. It became something of a habit, collecting gifts for Chase. After all, it was her only sure way to maintain his interest and his discretion.

This time Olivia presented him with a watch. His eyes sparkled at the sight of it, recognizing its worth. She’d spent $10,000 on this. He knew the brands and the value.

“My baby does care about me,” he said, reaching for the gift.

Olivia held it just out of reach. To chase after it, he would have to get out of bed. As expected, he did so. He was nothing if not predictable in his greed.

Gifts and sex were all it took to keep him happy. Olivia was content in offering both.

+25 BONUS

She understood the nature of their relationship. She knew there was no love here.

She also knew that for enough money, Chase would agree to do just about anything for her. She was

banking on that now.

Snatching the watch from her hands, he put it on his wrist and admired it. She admired him, naked except for the watch.

Perhaps she could spare one more hour…

No. She needed him well–rested for the plan to work.

“Put on your clothes and get out,” she said. “I need you at your best for tomorrow.”

He cocked his head at me, appearing somewhat skeptical. “Are you sure about this plan?”

“Is the money I offered not enough?” Olivia replied. “Then perhaps it would help if I told you that I’m sure you’d find all of this personally amusing…”

Chase seemed to consider that. “It would help if you told me this… Amber? Was it? If she’s not some old

bat.”

Olivia was loathe to give any compliment to that woman, but she knew what Chase needed to hear to be

more amenable.

“You will not hate what I’ve asked of you,” Olivia said.

He hummed as his smile returned.

Amber’s POV

In the office, I finished telling Anna about everything that happened the night before. I tried to keep my own opinions somewhat neutral as I described it, but I was certain some of my torrent of emotions slipped out.

Anna looked at me with blatant concern all over her face. “Amber, tell me you aren’t falling for him again.
