I had changed into my casual clothes and was walking down the hallway, when I saw Athena and her gangs approaching my way, and I sighed distressed, feeling the aura of trouble in the air.I tried to balance my right foot on the floor and walk normally, but I still felt light pains soaring through me.Athena gave me an unsympathetic look and scoffed as she and her minions got closer to me.I tried to ignore them and be invincible, but they blocked my path, the four of the girls crossed their arms over their chest and each of them gave me a smug look.I wheezed out, a bit annoyed, and gaze up to Athena's face. “Please, excuse me!” I said in a calm voice while Athena scoffed at me, rolling her eyes at me, her friends gave me a sneer look then they giggled evilly among themselves.“You bitch!” Athena started, moving forward and closer to me.“Please, excuse me!” One of her friends mimicked my voice irritatingly with that croaky voice of hers, my voice doesn't even sound that way, for cryi
“These books!” I groaned annoyingly trying to arrange the mess I created in my locker. It was break time, and I tried to act like everything is going well, when it's not.The pains in my ankle has subsided, and I'm able to walk smoothly without wincing by placing my right foot on the ground.Still, fighting with my scattered books in my locker, I heard some girls talking besides me.“Do you hear about the house party Brandon is hosting soon?” One of them said.“Yeah! I'm so excited about it,”“Kayden will be there too, it's just bad his tigress girlfriend will be around,” The second girl muttered.I stopped with what I was doing immediately hearing on the mention of a party and Athena being referred to as the tigress girlfriend.'Hmm! A house party!' I thought and suddenly smirk.I will make sure Athena is going to take back on here words, I'm not a social personin fact, I never attended a party before in my life, maybe it's time for me to crawl out of my cage a bit.Furthermore, I co
The day for the party came, and I was in my room with a dark blue off shoulder body-con dress, standing in front of the wall mirror in my room staring at my reflection, contemplating whether to go or not.I bite my lower lips nervously, different questions running through my mind.'I can just be a bad girl once in my life,' I thought, how will my finals be interesting if I don't have an interesting memory to hold, just living a boring life all my days.'Okay, I'm going,' I thought determinedly, I have already showered, so. I'm just going to dress.I stared at the dress I picked, it was one of the gowns mum had bought for me and many others, which I've abandoned and decided not to wear.She had always tried to talk to me to go out once in a while, but I always refused, I had gotten used to my lonely world, well, today that story is going to change, and it's only for today.I breathed out and walked over to my bed and placed the gown on the bed, I unbuttoned the free shirt I was wearing
“What are you doing here?” Athena fired with rage, she was putting on a one arm black body-con dress which also reached her mid-thigh.She reached out to me when Kayden pulled her arm back while she glared at me furiously while I smirked at her. I studied, her eyes raked me from head to toe.“I'm sure you don't even have an invitation card, how did you get here?” She seethed angrily.“Dumb!” I hissed out while her eyes shone widely, I noticed those around us had stopped with whatever thing they were doing and stared at us while I kept my glass of drink back on the table.I unlocked my purse and brought out an invitation card, “Well, if I don't have an invitation card, do you think I'd be here anyway?” I asked her sarcastically, twirling the card in between my fingers at her face, as she became pale immediately.“And thanks to my friends here,” I smirked, turning to Ivy and Ariana as I arched a brow at them to also play along, which they did.“Yes, baby!” Ariana suddenly said and walke
“What?” Athena and I said at the same time gaping at him surprisingly while my eyes almost fell off their socket.“Why would you do that, Kayden?” Athena walked up to him angrily.“It's just a game, Athena, so, calm down,” Landon jumped in.“I didn't ask for your reply, Landon,” Athena fired at him annoyingly.“It's a game just like he said, so, calm yourself,” Kayden smirked at her.'There's something fishy about this,' I thought and turned to my heels, I think it's a trap.“Where are you going?” Brandon asked, stopping me in my tracks as I turned around to face him.“I'm not interested in the game,” I told him annoyingly.“Well, then you have to pay $1000 to get your name out of the list,” He told me and I almost choked.'$1000, for a game,' I got paralyzed on my spot.“Is this a joke or what?” I strive to ask.“Well, the game isn't free, good boy Kayden had to pay for you to join the game,” He smirked at me while I dragged my gaze to Kayden and glared murderously at him."I will pl
Not like I fainted, but if I got the chance to faint right now, I would gladly accept it.“What did you ju-just sa-say?” I stuttered, gaping with pleading eyes at him while he smirked at me.“You heard me right, Jade, kiss Kayden,” He repeated.“She can't!” Athena defended.'Please, go all crazy, so I won't kiss him,' I prayed as Athena glared at Landon.I couldn't dare look at Kayden right now, I don't think I can bear looking at the smugness that would be in his eyes.“Why can't she?” Brandon threw at her, and Athena shifted her gaze to Brandon as everyone watched keenly.I was sweating profusely in my spot, even the armless clothes I was wearing couldn't save me from the hotness I was feeling within me.“Well, Kayden didn't argue when you gave Landon an erotic lap dance, did he argue?” Kai was the one countering her now.What's wrong with these guys? It looked like they've planned everything ahead, immediately I should up to the party.“And besides it's just a game, so, take it eas
“That's enough!” A furious voice shrieked out with jealousy seeping through it.I gasped panting as hard as I can while trying to breathe evenly and calmly, my gaze was still fixed on Kayden who was also staring intensely at me.His blue eyes were so warm but filled with desires, and his lips were quite red from the kiss we just had.He looked up, and I did the same thing, and there was Athena flaming down at the both of us, especially me.“Three minutes is up, that's enough!” She fired with rage.“Wow!” Brandon clapped, walking up to us, a smirk plastered on his lips as he got closer to us.“That's just one hell of a kiss, so, intense, even I could feel it--”“Shut up!” Athena roared at Brandon, cutting him off as he chuckled at Athena's outburst while I tried to think straight.My mind was fucking clouded and fuzzy, and many people were staring at me.So, I did one thing I could think of, I stood up and began walking as fast as I could.“Where do you think you're going to, bitch?”
One thing I've always hated in my entire life was getting awkward and uncomfortable stares from countless people that could make one wish to vanish into thin air.This is my condition this morning as I walk through the hallway of my school, I knew this shit was going to happen, at least, I wasn't the one who did something crazy in the Truth and Dare game but just because I kissed the hottest popular boy of the school.I would be the main target, main topic, and main gossip of the whole school…Inhaling sharply, I shoved my hands into the black hoodie crop jacket I was wearing, and used the hood to cover my face and lowered my gaze as I kept on walking.“OMG! Did you hear about the party that was hosted at Brandon's place, let me move on to the interesting part, the Truth, and Dare part,” I heard someone say excitingly, and I had to lower my gaze the more?“I heard a nerd kissed Kayden,” Another voice added, and I felt like choking as I hurried on my steps.I got to another side of the
Jade's POV.I smiled as I remembered what happened in those past weeks. Kayden woke up and his Dad fainted because he was overjoyed, and he was admitted too in the hospital. The doctors were surprised when Kayden woke up, they confessed that they thought that he wouldn't wake up til maybe a year or two since he was so cold and lifeless, he was already like a dead man and they thought he would never make it. He was shot in the chest, the shoulder, and the back, which pierced through to his stomach. He was so dead, he lost almost all the blood in his body and it was a miracle that he was alive and I can't stop being thankful.When he woke up, he refused to let me leave his presence and I was not ready to leave too, I wanted him closer to me as much as he did me. I wanted to be in his arms and never let go. When the doctors saw that we both were not letting each other go, they had no choice but to admit us into the same ward and they would treat us on the same bed, inject us with our me
Jade's POV.I found myself in a dark open space, but I was not afraid, I was walking hand in hand with Kayden. Though the place was filled with darkness, I could feel the wetness of the ground, which felt like flowers around. It must be a flower garden, but I couldn't see it. How did I know that it was Kayden I was walking with? Because I was feeling the same way I always feel anytime I was with Kayden and his hand fit rightly in mine.I glanced at his dark and he chuckled like he always does. I stared away and walked more. Suddenly a bright light showed around and I gasped. The light began to pull me closer and I was willingly following it, it was calling out to me, but I noticed that Kayden was not following me anymore and his hand was slipping away from mine. I wanted to shout his name but I couldn't, it was like my lips were sealed. I took hold of his hand with my both hands, not ready to let him go, but his hand eventually slipped off from mine and the light took me away, and th
Author's POV.Kayden was surprised to see his uncle standing right behind Jade, what was he doing there? And in a place like this. He thought."Uncle Theodore?" He had to ask again to confirm that he was not seeing in twos."Kayden, Kayden, Kayden, my favorite nephew." Theodore spoke in a singsong and with each word, he was pulling himself closer to Kayden while Kayden's eyes rose in confusion. "Did you miss me?"Kayden couldn't reply to him, he had his mind clouded with the same question. What is Uncle Theodore doing here? Though the answer to his question was glaring at him he didn't want to believe it. Theodore was his uncle for Christ's sake, the only child of his grandparents after his father!"Why aren't you talking? Still, I'm shocked. Oh no! That is not nice!" Theodore's voice was laced with mockery."Why? I mean, what are you doing here? I... I wasn't planning on seeing you here!" Kayden's eyes went to Jade and saw two hefty men holding her tightly. He returned his eyes to Th
Jade's POV.I felt myself awake but my eyes were closed, I was hearing some disturbing voices in my head, and I almost thought that it was Mom and Dad who were planning a prank on me. I tried to lift my hand to wipe the dizziness off so that I could be able to open my eyes but I couldn't raise my hands, none of them was raising and I feared, what's happening to me? Why are my hands stuck? I didn't have answers to my questions so I decided to pick the words the people around me were saying.".....she is still asleep, why the hell is that?!" One of them thundered and I almost shivered, the voice was so loud and daring. Dad's voice cannot sound like that and I began to put meaning to things around me.The event in the restroom rewind in my head and I got it, I was sedated and kidnapped. Damn! That person that flirted something on my face, how couldn't I notice it? One person cannot come to the school to take me, I should have thought of it very well before walking out, I could have peepe
Uncle Henry's POV.I should have known that something like that was bound to happen. I should have known that he would not give up, he would find something to pull Kayden out of the mansion and I should have known that the target would be Jade, my poor niece.I know that since it happened that way, we couldn't have been able to prevent it. If Jade was tightly secure like Kayden was, I was sure that he would use another method like maybe kidnap any of Jade's parents to lure her out, just the same way he was using Jade to lure Kayden. I stood before my sister's house and I sighed. I didn't know how they got to know about the kidnapping, but here I was trying to stand before them as a shoulder, I had to come here first before going back to the mansion to see that kid, Kayden. He is going insane and his father has to lock him into the room so that he won't leave to go to the location of the kidnappers without a proper plan. He would just get himself killed.I entered the house and just a
Kayden's POV.I was tired of staying indoors as it has been days already, but what can we do? Even Uncle Henry, who never finds it difficult to find a culprit, according to Jade, was finding this difficult. Nothing was leading us to him and all the people Dad was remembering were so out of the line, that they had nothing to do with the attacks after George, Dad's private investigator, and Uncle Henry investigated them. They were as clean as anything and I had a feeling that we would not be seeing the culprit soon.After the call Jade. I called Brandon, "Hey man.""My guy, what's up?" His voice was facetious, he was not expecting my call at least not that in the morning, but I was dying of boredom, I needed someone to keep me company before Jade arrived, and then I would chase all of them away to be with only Jade."I'm bored," I told him, "Are you up for some games?""Sure, will be up in a minute or two. You're calling me from my dream." He joked."Lazy ass. Don't keep me waiting, you
Jade's POV.It was another day of school and I was in my room, dressing up for school as I was on a video call with Kayden. He was in his room, under curfew. He was to hide himself from his attackers til he or she would be found.I had taken my bath and brushed my teeth in the bathroom. I had also dried my body and a long towel was tightly fixed around my chest."........are you telling me that you will be in there without coming out til the coast is clear and you're free to leave for anywhere you are?" I questioned him, already knowing his answer."Yes." He replied. "Dad is trying, I'm beginning to pity him," Kayden said to me."I thought you hated him. Remember you said that he is paying for his sin and for being the very worst father ever." I knew he had said that without thinking and now, he was regretting it, I just want him to laugh and be happy. I mean, he is not even attacked yet, so he deserves to be happy.He growled childishly, "I was a fool when I said that, though I will
Jade's POV.We were at the airport, waiting for our new helper to show up. Uncle Henry. I had told them that I knew someone who could help us to find the culprit and had called Uncle Henry, who was my uncle and also a military man. He was the same person who trained me on self-defense and that was how I was able to survive among those spoilt brat in school.Uncle Henry had spoken with Mr. Walters and they had bonded well on the phone we were at the airport to pick him up, Mr Walters was with us too with more than twenty guards.Mr Walters had appointed ten hefty men to follow Kayden and me about in school, There was no breathing space, and even inside the classroom, they were there and the teachers had no choice. Before we eat a food, the seller would taste it, before we drink a drink, the guards would sniff it to know if it was poisoned. There was no more fun and Brandon with the other guys did not cease to tease us with it."Uncle Henry!" I opened the car's door and ran to him as I
Jade's POV.I laughed when Kayden told his Dad to leave, but that did not even hurt the man, he entered anyway even without Kayden's concept. "Son, we need to talk."I stopped what I was doing, ready to get up and give them some privacy, but I was stopped by Kayden. "Continue what you're doing Jade, it's more important." He didn't even mind his Dad's presence, he spoke sultrily."You're embarrassing the lady, come on." Mr Walters said and my embarrassment rose to its highest level.Kayden turned his head to look at me and he must have noticed that his Dad was right. He motioned for me to get up from him, which I did. I watched as he stood up and flexed his muscles and wiggled his waist."Thanks, babe, I feel so good." I nodded, I couldn't talk the way I wanted to, his Dad was present and I didn't want to offend him. Kayden frowned and turned to his Dad, "Leave Dad, you're making her uncomfortable."My eyes widened when I heard that. He shouldn't have said it, because my nervousness r
