I closed my locker after taking my Accounting textbook, then turned around and began walking to class.

The hallway was annoyingly crowded this morning, students pushing their way among themselves to get to their classes.

I raised my face which I had lowered to my arms after taking a turn when I saw someone familiar dressed in a black jacket and white tee shirts underneath pass by me, The cologne filled my nostrils and I knew that scent too well.

It was intoxicating…

'Was it Kayden?' I thought.

I turned my head over my shoulder to gaze at him curiously, but I couldn't make out his face earlier because he was wearing a nose mask when he was coming away, but I felt his eyes were on me when we made brief contact with our eyes before he brushed past me.

My eagerness made me turn around in my tracks and stared at his back as he kept on walking, I could see the large fire design imprinted on the back of his black jacket, then he glanced over his shoulder and our eyes met again.

    “Stop!” Amusement lingered in his voice, and my eyes widened.“Kayden?” I asked surprised, I knew his voice too well not to remember it, then I stared into his blue eyes which sparked amusingly at me, to allay my intensified anxiousness and doubts, I raised my other hand to his face and quickly remove the mask covering his face and he was stifling a laugh.He looked as if he wants to burst into a fit of laughter after pulling up the prank thing on me.I frowned at him without a second, when I realized he was the one, and I snatched my hand from his grip, glaring at him while he began to laugh.His laughter was annoying me and I punched his stomach and he crouched over his knee immediately.“Ouch! That's not fair,” He groaned out in a wince.“Not fair? Do you know the heartache you almost gave me?” I fired at him while he straightened himself.“I thought I was almost abducted,” I barked at him.I moved back a bit away from him and folded my hands on my chest furiously while his gaze se

    The commerce teacher walked out of the class before they could ring the bell for the break.Kayden kept teasing me as he threw folded papers my way, and I stylishly pick it up and read what he wrote.'Smile, you look too serious,' Am I supposed to be grinning ear to ear when the class is going on and the teacher would point me out and start asking while I've been smiling like a fool?'You are beautiful,''Look at me,''I love the way your ass shoots out at the back,'All the papers he threw at me were either making me blush or make me widen my eyes in shock.All the while, Athena cast hateful glares towards, especially me, but ignoring her was simply the best way.Finally, the bell rang, and almost everyone scooted out of the class, except Athena and her annoying friends.Athena then began to walk over to Kayden while I was packing my books.“Hey, babe,” She greeted Kayden who was staring at me from his seat while flipping her light-brown hair to the back and I turned my gaze to her

    I'm excited…The weekend came so fast, and Kayden had planned a date for us today.I had been thinking about him all day.I was helping at my parent's restaurant when Kayden walked into the restaurant, his presence caused a lot of attention from the young girls who were at their tables with their food while they glued their eyes on him and smiled at him.His defined cheekbones and his sea-rover blue eyes had a magic effect on everyone, the ladies most especially, the white buttoned-down shirt he wore along with the skinny black jeans which were ripped once on the knees matched along with his white sneakers added to the charming and alluring portrait he had.He minced gracefully, glancing around with a black shade in between his fingers.He was looking for me, I was very sure about that.Kayden is hot, when I say hot he's everything, every girl's in my stage would dream of, even the older ladies.So, I don't mind him getting all the attention ladies cast his way and how they helplessly

    “This looks beautiful on her,” Kayden said, his gaze fixed on me while he referred to the stewardess who was attending and helping me with the dress Kayden picked for me.The one I was wearing was a spring banana mini dress.“She will take this,” Kayden uttered to the stewardess, and she nodded at him.Then Kayden walked to where the ladies' dress was hung, and he looked at another set of clothes and picked another dress from the open closets, he stared at it for a while before giving it to the stewardess, She moved closer to him, and she collected the dress from Kayden.“Let her try that on,” Kayden said to the young stewardess, who seemed to be in her late twenties.“Follow me, beautiful,” She smiled at me, her alluring brown eyes sparkled at me. I nodded and followed her to the luxurious changing room I was using when I got in with Kayden.“You have such a lovely boyfriend, he's so sweet,” The stewardess remarked, and my gaze flickered to her reflection in the mirror and saw that s

    Kayden took us to Banff springs Willow stream spa and, man, I was mesmerized by the beauties of the surrounding.He wasn't joking when he said the place looked heavenly.It was a serene Alpine sanctuary meant for pampering and relaxation, just the way Kayden had said earlier. The rejuvenation unwinds to the calming sounds of rushing waterfalls and burbling mineral pools, which I saw as we stepped into the environment.“This place is beautiful,” I gasped, and turned my head to Kayden, and he smiled at me.“I told you, you'll like the place,” He grinned at me while he interlocked our fingers together.He was holding the mini bag my bikini was, he was serious about me wearing that Bikini, and he wanted to see it on when we are about to get into the water.We were welcomed by the receptionist and the staff beamed at us.“You are welcome to Banff springs Willow stream spa,” They welcomed us, each of them putting a happy face on.We were taken to a co-ed relaxation area with beverages and so

    “This is the best day ever,” I smiled and turned my face to Kayden, who parked his car in front of my house. Today was spectacular, and it was one of the amazing moments of my life, a day I will always cherish and relive in my heart and memories.“I'm happy I made your day, today, sugarplum,” Kayden beamed and leaned closer to me, our faces brushing slightly against each other.“I'm happy we crossed paths,” I muttered staring deeply into his blue eyes which shone brighter then I felt his soft lips on my lips and I hungrily took his lips in mine, but Kayden pulled away leaving me frustrated.“Woah, Someone is aching for my lips,” He teased, and I glared at him biting on my lower lips while he chuckled, making me turn my head to the window staring outside.“I'm happy I met you, Jade,” He spoke, and I felt his hand on my bare thigh and I slowly turned my head to gaze at him, a warm smile breaking free on my lips.“Come on, let's get your packages inside,” He gave me a bright smile and I

    I opened the door to my room and switched on the light, pressing the button on the socket fixed on the wall before entering the room, then I immediately stepped aside to let Kayden enter inside with the packages in his hands when I noticed he was right behind me.He smiled at me when our gaze met, and he took a glance around my room before he marched straight to my medium-sized bed.He placed all the goodies bags close to the foot of my bed before he turned around.“I like your room, it's so warm and homey,” He remarked, and my lips paused.“Thank you,” I murmured and closed the door behind me, then lean my back next to the door and folded my arms on my chest while I stared at him.Kayden glanced around before he started walking towards my reading table, he chuckled to himself when he picked a marvel comic on my table.“I never knew you were a fan,” He beamed, showing me one of the Marvel Comics collections I had.“I am,” I smiled, and he quirked his brow at me.“No wonder you are good

    Jade's POV.If I knew what love is, that's because of him…A bright smile stuck on my face and I don't give a damn about the way students were staring at me as I minced my way down the school's hallway, excitedly, I just feel so happy this morning and why is that?Uhm! Maybe because I get to see the one person that makes me start smiling so suddenly all the time I think about him and well, he always occupies my thoughts every moment of the day.I curled my hands around the straps of my school bag and took a turn to where my locker was located, then I saw him…His laughter was the first thing I heard, loud and clear among the buzzing sounds from the students hanging around, and my face lit up.Kayden was standing with his three friends, Landon, Kai, and Brandon, and it was obvious that what they were saying intrigued Kayden so much for him to beaming like a Cheshire cat.His hands were shoved in the blue hoodie pocket he was wearing, actually, his back was facing me and I suddenly slowe

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

    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!

    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

    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
