Kayden’s POVI was sitting at my favorite spot in the classroom when I saw Jade walking towards my direction, without saying a word, she sat on the chair next to me. Unlike her, she greets me whenever we meet but today was different, I stared at her and I knew she was angry so I decided to ask what had happened to her.“Wassup Jade, what’s wrong with you?” I asked with a concerned voice.“Nothing” She replied as her eyebrow was raised in anger. “Did I offend her? And why will she be angry?” I asked myself. Not quite long, Athena walked into the classroom and I could see the way she stared at Jade in a demeaning way before she took her seat, immediately I knew Jade and Athena had something to do with each other.“Maybe Athena made Jade angry, who knows?" I said in my mind.“Should I take her out to have fun? I think that will be better” I muttered. When the teacher came in, I noticed how Jade and Athena were both fighting with their eyes I wanted to stop Jade but I decided to stay out

Jade’s POV"I can't believe it is Saturday already," I said to myself as I turned the annoying alarm beside me and I reached for my phone, I saw missed calls and romantic messages from Kayden. I blushed and I decided to call him back as soon as he picked up his call my heart raced, I thought he was going to be mad at me but he wasn't, instead, he was sweet and flirty.“Wassup sweety," He said over the phone."I'm fine, what about you" I said as I sighed, I thought he was going to get angry at me for not picking up his calls although it wasn't my fault- I was asleep.“Let me guess, you are just waking up?” He said with his deep voice.“Yes..” I said with a shy tone."I knew only a lazy girl would have been sleeping till this time of the day," He said as he chuckled."You woke up late today," He said I looked at the wall clock to check what the time was and I saw that it was midday already and I was surprised about why I slept that much. "We are in the midday already," I said in a sur

Jade's POV:The next day at school, I was sitting silently in my seat as I observed everything in the class and watched Athena and her minions trample on the weak students. I tried my best and avoided them. Everybody settled on their seats when the first teacher came in and I could finally breathe freely. I paid rapid attention to the teaching and I jotted down what the teacher was saying until he threw a question to the whole class. "Who can solve this equation?" It was a quadratic equation and I knew it but I wouldn't dare to go up to the front of the class to solve it. I was avoiding problems with everything in me.I was beating with astonishment with Athena stood up and began to match majestically to the broad. I mean, why would she go to the board to embarrass herself? Everyone in class knew that she was the dumbest. Well, maybe not everybody, but I knew that she was, though I can't say it to her face. I've offended her much enough to add more to my offense."Mr Candid." She ca

Jade's POV:I woke up and the blinding light and white walls disrupted my vision. Where am I? I wondered and tried to raise my hand to wipe my eyes for my vision to be clear and strangely, I could, the last time I checked, I couldn't raise my hands, I was tied up, so could I now? I stared at my hand blurry as things clicked in my head.I was in school. Athena wanted to embarrass me and got embarrassed instead. She got a detention. I had lunch with Kayden. He couldn't drop me off because he had to go somewhere. I decided to play basketball alone. Athena and her minions interrupted. And..... and I got mauled by them and fainted!That bitch! I thought angrily and tried to stand up but pain surged through me. "Ah!" I groaned. My body was aching severely and apparently, I was not expecting something less. I got beaten like a criminal.I stared around my surroundings as my eyes were clear now, from the white walls and the aspirin smell, I knew that I was in a hospital. That bitch! How dare

Kayden's POV:I walked out of the ward with my phone in my ear, listening to all the call was saying. It was my dad's secretary. How did she even get my line? I don't know."........please, do branch by again." She concluded and that annoyed me. Drop by again for what? I wondered."Tell that old man that I am not ready to branch by to his company anytime soon. Goodbye." I hung up.I had left the school to see my dad in his company, leaving Jade at her mercy and seeing what that led to and not like the meeting with my dad ended well and I regretted going and honoring his invitation.Flashback.........I left the school immediately when it was closing, going straight to my dad's company. I got into the company and walked to the elevator that took me to the last floor, where I met his secretary, she was waiting there for me. "Boss said you should wait in his office for him, he saw one of the important investors off and will be here soon.""Okay," I replied softly and made myself comforta

I can't just wait to see her and I am equally grateful to her for staying with me throughout my hard times and for being my shoulder in times of despair.I got to class and just as I'd known, she was there with her eyes glued on the door my eyes ran into hers immediately I got in and she smiled.I went over to her and pulled her up from her seat before pulling her into a hug. I love her so much and she gave me a reason to keep on loving her every day. "Are you okay Kayden?" She questioned me. She must be astonished about my sudden hug."Thank you, for everything. I'm grateful." She smiled."I'm just doing my job as a perfect girlfriend." She said.I chuckled and disengaged from the hug. I pecked her hair and lips before we settled on our seats with a smile on my face and her face was beaming too as I stared tirelessly at her. She was just everything I wanted. I took her hand in mi

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

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
