JADEI heard footsteps which but I didn’t turn to see who it is. From the way the hairs on the back of my neck stood and a shiver rolled down my spine, I figured out who it was.He confirmed it by speaking.“I didn’t think you would make it.” Atlas’s voice was cool, calm. A complete contrast to the turmoil that was going through me. But it is nothing to be surprised about. We have always been this way.He does shit that makes me lose grasp of myself and reality and he just stands there looking calm as ever. Like everything is perfectly alright in his world.“Not that you invited me.” I replied, lucky that the shakiness I was feeling inside didn’t show in my voice. “If you’d spoken to me, you would have known if I was coming or not.”He breathed out and nodded slowly.“I guess, you’re right. I followed the coward’s way out, I didn’t want you to reject me directly.” He tried a small smile. “This way, it wouldn’t’t have hurt much if you didn’t show up.”“Always worried about your ego.” I

JADEAfter Atlas left me outside, breathless and on the verge of breaking down. I couldn’t go back inside. I didn’t know how I’ll be able to sit down and try to talk to people like my heart didn’t just become completely shattered.I should be happy. I wanted that divorce. He is finally caving and giving me exactly what I wanted but why wasn’t I happy? Why ddi it feel like a noose has been tied around my neck and they are pulling hard on it, stopping m from breathing air into my lungs.Shouldn’t I feel free? I’m going to be free. But I’ve ever felt more trapped and more helpless than I do right now.“Jade! Jade, here you are. I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” I quickly wiped my teaser upon hearing Jaiya’s voice. I knew my makeup was smudged, which will tell her that I have been crying but that was just the most I could do right now. “Oh my god, you’re crying. What did that asshole do?”She growled when she came close to me and saw my reddened eyes and messed up makeup. When I don’

ATLAS“Annie, no.” I used a little force to push her off me.I didn’t want to push too hard and hurt her but I definitely did not want her kissing me. Not right now.She had caught me off guard, which is the only reason why it even went ;anger that I would have wanted.Hurt was over Annie’s face but she nodded and moved back, crossing her arms over her chest.We were just talking about how everything was a success, and then she came close, I thought she was going to show me something. Or maybe, I just deluded myself into believing that. But my mind was’t fully here. I was still thinking of Jade and everything that just happened a few minutes ago.And the kiss. God, that felt like the best thing I have ever experienced in my life and there was just no way to fight it.“Sorry,” I said, brushing a hand over my face, fighting the urge to pull at my hair.This was all just too much.“I should be the one apologising.” Annie shook her head. “I shouldn’t have done that.” She said and I couldn

JADEThe driver, seeing the sate I was in just kept driving around the central. He didn’t say anything to me or ask if I want anything. He sit drove around and he couldn’t understand how grateful for the moment I was.I think we were on the road for almost am hour before it clicks din my head that I didn’t come here alone.“Oh shit.” I almost screamed when I realisation dawned on me.“Is everything okay, ma’am?” That was the first time he was speaking to me, since he said ‘okay, ma’am’ after I entered and told him to drive around.“How do we get back to Antonio ad the rest?” Asked, biting my lip and feeling a little guilty. Really hope the event isn’t over or that they maybe wanted to leave early, only for them to come and find out they didn’t have a ride back to the airport because I was selfish and didn’t stop to think about them.I started rummaging through my purse, looking for my phone. Then I recalled there was no phones at the event and we all left ours in the helicopter as th

ATLAS“I want to tell you to calm down but I don’t want to risk my head.” Andrew said from the far side of the room.After walking around the entire place, I found myself back here again. Although it took a lot of urging from Dalton go get me to come back inside. The man looked close to having a break down and though I wouldn’t care if it was in any other situation, I couldn’t exactly say no right now. He was worried about my safety and I was outside.“Alpha, I won’t be able to focus on finding her if I’m worried about your safety.”“I can take care of myself.” I finished with a growl, seconds from throwing him away so he could get out of my sight.“He is right, man. He just wants to do his job, which is to lee you Sade.” They both teamed up against me but I did give up and came inside. And I still haven’t gotten word from either Dalton or the rest of his team. And it is almost time for me to go back to the pack and we haven’t found her.I even had that pretty boy questioned. Damien a

JADEI cold’t sleep, so I ended up calling Jaiya. She os mostly a night owl and I wasn’t surprised when she picked immediately.Ray was sleeping and even if she was wide awake, I doubt I’ll be able to talk about what is on my mind with her.“Oh, Jade, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Jaiya said the moment she picked. She did sound so relieved and the feeling of love that washed over me is one simple words couldn’t explain. “Are you okay? Do you need anything?”s“I—no.” I cleared my throat. Not even sure what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to ask her before I decided to call but now that I was hearing her voice. It felt kind of insignificant. And trust me, Jaiya is the last person to judge so I wasn’t eve worried about that.It just didn’t make sense to say. ‘Antonio sounded off. Do you think he hates me?’ I don’t know about you but that sounded insane to me.“Talk to me, Jade. What’s wrong?” Her voice softened to that calming timbre that always made me want to open up. It was no surpr

JADEOn my way out, I ended up in my dad’s office. Now, you’ll ask, did I go there because I had something to tell him, or was I delaying the inevitable? It was the latter. At leats, I was honest with myself about that.Last night when I spoke with Jaiya, I was fairly confident about what I wanted to do. Because it was just that, words. Now that I was seeing the brand daylight and the possibility of it being more than words being thrown in my lap. I was a nervous wreck.It was a surprise no one mentioned it at breakfast. More like, dad and Aiden didn’t. Ray made sure to grill me. If I didn’t know that girl loved me, I would have said she hated me and loved seeing my discomfort.Though, I can’t really rule that out. She likes seeing me squirm.“You look well.” Dad said as I walked into his office. I quirked a questioning brow which made him chuckle a little. “I was worried you’ll shut down after last night.”Trust this man to not give you room for a soft landing. He just goes straight

JADERay was watching me, looking like she had something to say. Which was surprising, the fact that she hadn’t said it. She is not one to hold back.“What’s up?” I asked, after I finished checking my lipgloss in the mirror.I mean, it is still the best I could do when it comes to makeup. But I like it. I always feel so proud when I’m putting it on. Maybe I’ll take Jaiya’s advice one of these days and actually learn makeup. I do have the time.“Well, if you don’t come back as a girlfriend tonight, Antonio and I are going to have a talk.” She looked so serious that I wanted to laugh but I second guessed it and instead nodded.I pressed my lips into a thin line because it was just too hard not to smile. And well, mentioning Antonio’s name always makes me smile like a schoolgirl getting the attention of her first crush.“Yeah, dad. That sounds great.” I said with sarcasm and she got up and came to stand behind me.“I’m being serious. This is like yore tenth date so why are you not offici
