Chapter 26 - Only mine

Aria's POV

Chase parked the car in front of the mansion. We got out of the car. Chase held my hand as we walked in.

"Are you ready?" he asked me tenderly.

"If you are."

We walked into the house. Everyone was there already. They turned around and looked at us. Aunt Sophia smiled when she saw my ring.

"Everyone is here now. Let's have dinner," Uncle Xander said.

"Before we start dinner, there's something we want to tell you." Chase looked at me for reassurance. "We are getting married."

Aunt Sophia got up and hugged us. "Yes, I'm so happy for you guys."

All of them congratulated us. My father approached us. He faced Chase and said, "If you hurt my daughter in any way, I will kill you."

"I won't; I can't," Chase said and looked at me. "I love her so much!" I smiled. My father congratulated us afterward.

The rest of the night went well.

I woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I changed clothes into a baggy t-shirt and black jeans. My stomach was showing already.

Chase and I were going to get a marriage license today.

After breakfast, I received a message from Chase. He said he was waiting for me outside my house. I grabbed my bag and left my room.

When I saw Chase, he leaned against his car and waited for me. When he saw me, he approached me. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my lips. He pulled back and rubbed my belly. Then, we got in the car.

We were getting married in a week. We were ecstatic.

We went to the restaurant. I was super hungry. After, Chase dropped me off at home.

Today was the establishment anniversary of Chase's family company. My parents and I were invited to attend the event.

As we were about to arrive at the celebration, I received a message from Chase.

Where are you? I miss you.

We are about to arrive. I miss you too.

When we arrived, my parents went towards Chase's parents. I told my mother that I was going to look for Chase. When I found him, journalists were interviewing him.

When he saw me, he ended the interview. He walked towards me with a smile.

He hugged me. "You look beautiful," he murmured in my ear. Then, he kissed my neck.

"Thank you. You look handsome."

He pulled back and placed his hand on my stomach and rubbed it. "My son, your father missed you so much."

"Chase, someone can see." I tried to pull back. But Chase didn't let go of me. He held me tightly.

"I don't care."

We went next to our parents. Chase did not pull his hand away from my back for a second.

Uncle Xander and Chase were going to give a speech. Uncle Xander said his speech first. Chase went after him. I watched him. I was proud of him, my man.

After Chase gave his speech, he approached me and wrapped his arm around me. He kissed my lips for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, the journalists approached us.

"Mr. Knight, could we take a photo of Ms. Collins and you together?"

"Of course."

Chase placed his hand on my back and pulled me closer. The journalists took a few photos.

"Mr. Knight, is it true that you are getting engaged to Ms. Collins?"

"Yes, it is true. We are getting married soon." He smiled as he looked into my eyes. I smiled back. Then, we walked away from the journalists.

After the journalist asked Chase a few more questions, he went to talk to some businessmen. Chloe and I talked while I waited for Chase to finish.

A few minutes later, Chase walked towards me. He grabbed one of my hands and placed his other on my back. He leaned down and murmured in my ear, "Come with me." I nodded.

Chase led me to the terrace. We were alone. He placed his chin on my shoulder as he hugged me from behind. Our cheeks were against each other.

He reached over to place his hands over my stomach.

"I love you," he said as he rubbed my belly.

"I love you too." I turned around and kissed him. When I wanted to pull back, he didn't let me go. He kissed me as passionately as he could.

We pulled back, trying to catch our breaths. "Let's go."

"Ok."

He grabbed my hand and led me to his car. We got in and left.

While I was in the passenger's seat, I let my mother know that I was leaving with Chase.

As soon as he closed the door to his penthouse, Chase pushed his lips against mine. I ran my hands through his hair.

"I missed you," he murmured between kisses.

As soon as we entered his room, he pushed me against the wall, kissing my lips passionately.

He placed his hand on my cheek. His other hand roamed my body.

He bit my lower lip gently and pulled it between his teeth. I moaned. He smirked.

He reclaimed my lips as he took his jacket off. I unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. I ran my hands down over his chest.

He scooped me up in his arms bridal style and carried me to the bed without separating our lips. He set me down on my feet. He turned me around and unzipped my dress while he kissed my neck. My dress slid down my body.

"You're beautiful and mine, only mine," he murmured in my ear.

He ran his hands up my body and cupped my breasts as he kissed my neck. I moaned.

He turned me around and roughly kissed my lips. He stepped closer to me, kissing my lips. I stepped back. We fell back onto the bed.
