“Hey, are you okay?” I asked Kayden, staring at the way his hands wrapped firmly around my wrist.

“Yeah,” I heard him mutter, we got into the hallway and the students around stared at us curiously, wondering what was wrong, especially with Kayden.

His whole top was soaked with sweat, and blood drizzling aside his head.

We got to his locker, and he unlocked it, finally leaving my hands alone, he brought out a black top and closed his locker. He leaned closer to the metallic locker and placed his forehead on the cold surface of the locker and closed his eyes.

“Would you like to go to the infirmary?”

“You don't look too well,” I observed.

“No,” He muttered in a breathy voice.

“I would just clean up, I'm fine,” He uttered then moved away from the locker and stared at me, then I nodded slowly.

“Okay,” I agreed and took a step away from him, his eyes glistened at me as sadness clouded his features.

I don't even know what to say to him.

“Jade,” He started, moving closer to me, I can see all t

    “Where we were when you knocked out, Brandon?” Ariana asked in awe.“Swears, I would have loved to see you kicking his ass,” Ivy laughed.We were at our spot in the cafeteria, and the whole news of Kayden getting into a fight with his friends because of me and me knocking out Brandon was the last I had expected.It traveled like wildfire among the students in the entire school.“Can't believe they made you into a sticker, especially the part you knocked out Brandon,” Ariana laughed, then Ivy joined.“It's so hilarious,” Ivy drowned more in laughter, then grabbed her phone on the table.“Let me show you,”Ivy showed me the sticker where I had tackled Brandon to the floor, then the next sticker was me sitting on Brandon and knocking him out.“This is not funny,” I gritted and Ariana and Ivy burst out laughing again while I frowned at them.“I'm sorry, I can't help it,”“Me too,”Almost everyone was playing the video, and it was just a surprise the principal hadn't called me to his offic

    'Oh boy,' I gasped, blood draining off my face.Kayden pulled back from me and turned his head over his shoulder and gazed at Athena and his face twisted in a scowl.“Why are you still with her?”“Did she put some sort of spell on you?” Athena fired at him, all the aura surrounding around her was screaming jealousy and bloody hate.Kayden ignored her and turned back to me.“Is she disturbing you?” He asked me and I fluttered my lashes at him surprisingly, and he tilted his head to the side, smiling at me.“Woah!” Ariana laughed and Ivy chuckled along.I drifted my gaze back to Athena, whose eyes widened with embarrassment, her face was screaming fury, staring at Kayden with her lips slightly parted in awe.Did Kayden just ignore her? “How about we go somewhere else?” He wriggled his brows at me and smiled, causing the faint color of pink to appear on my cheeks.“Sure,” I whispered and Kayden stood up, drew his seat back, and held his hands out to me.'This feels so weird!'

    Cars drove out of the school, while some students who had to trek their way to the nearest bus stop made their way towards the entrance of the school. I was heading towards where I parked my bicycle. It was closing, I thought of going to my parent's restaurant and being of help since I won't be doing anything serious,I had almost finished my assignment in the class before they rang the bell for closing. I pulled my bicycle out and sat on the saddle of my bicycle, then I started paddling towards the school gate when a car horned loudly beside me, scaring the shit out of me.I placed my left foot on the floor to balance myself and the bicycle, then snapped my head and glared at the car still behind, it was pretty close to my bicycle.“I'm sorry, babe,” Kayden stuck out his head, laughing while I rolled my eyes at him. He unlocked the door of his car and stepped out, then striding close to me.“You could have hit me,” I glared, huffing surprisingly at him.“But, I didn't,” He smirked wh

    “Wow! Your room is outstanding?” I gasped when he opened the door to his room, staring at how large and neat his room was.His room was painted white, with a dark blue floral printed oversized rug which added warmth to the room as I stepped in, laid from the entrance of his room, and stopped halfway through the room.“Thank you,” I heard him murmur behind me, my eyes traveled to where his bed was. The master-size bed was laid with thick white and navy-blue duvets, which complemented the rug laid on the floor with several pillows on it.The headboard was also in navy blue.“Is blue your favorite color?” I asked him eagerly.“Yeah,” He answered, and I nodded.“I thought so too,” I smiled glancing at him through my shoulder before walking further into his room, then he closed the door behind him with a slight thud.I strutted over to his bed and placed my hands and flattened my palms on the bed as the bed pressed in slightly while bending over.Damn!'It's so soft,' I cried out in my min

    “Can you move a bit?” I groaned, trying to push Kayden away.“I'm not moving, your laps are so comfortable,” He cooed, resting his head on my lap while we watched an action movie titled, 'Adam Project.' on his laptop.I smiled softly, running my fingers through his hair while his eyes penetrated through the screen of his laptop.I never thought in my entire life, I would be in a guy's home, on his bed, and have him drooling over me.If someone told me this when I was all alone in my single, lonely life, I would stare at them like they've grown two heads.“Move, your head is cracking my bones,” I teased him, and he looked up and stare at me, his lips curling in a smirk.“That's a lie,”“All I feel is flesh, which is very soft,” He taunted, and I chuckled softly.“Rather, I place my head here,” He smirked mischievously, moving up to me while I removed my fingers from his hair.“Where?” I asked him, startled.“Here,” He smiled, using his hand to hold his laptop while he moved up to me.K

    Kayden parked his car close to my parent's restaurant, while I stared at the customers strutting in and out of my parents' restaurant.“Are you coming in?” I asked him when I realized he unclasped his seatbelt, then he leaned closer to me, he unbuckled my seatbelt and thereby placing a soft kiss on my lips.“Yes, sweetheart,” He muttered when he pulled away from me, leaving me dazed.'Sweetheart!'He always has a way of fluttering a girl's heart…My face flushed, I lowered my gaze to my fingernails and chewed on my lower lips nervously.“By the way, I need to greet the woman I'm marrying before I leave,” He said, and I snapped my gaze to him and rolled my eyes with a scoff.He was referring to my mum, ever since he had met her, he has been saying he would marry her, I find him cute. If one wasn't close to him, you wouldn't know he had this perky and jovial attitude in him.“Hmm! Someone is jealous,” He teased, and I huffed at him, I opened the door and got off his car, a wistful smile

    I jerked when I felt someone tickle me on my waist from behind, I knew the person who had the gut to do that, and it was Kayden.I turned around backing my Locker and my gaze settled on Kayden who was beaming at me, he was pretty close to me.His hazel hair was slightly rough, and he looked hot in the two-colored dyed tee shirt he wore which was blue and a lighter shade of yellow, with ripped black jeans and white sneakers.He had a black necklace around his neck which almost reached his abs.“Good morning, sweetheart,” He smiled, bringing his hand to my face and using his thumb to caress my face.“Sweetheart?” I tilted my head to the side, his lips curling up into a teasing smile while his alluring blue eyes glistened at me.“Yeah, that's your name from henceforth,” He said while I smiled.The bell is still yet to be rung for morning classes and most of the students were loitering around in the hallway most of them were staring at us, but Kayden's big self overshadowed me, almost tra

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.

    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

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?!"

    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

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

"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.
