Saint's Pov I dropped her off at home and watched as she got out of the car and strode into the house, her ass guided by her petite waist swayed side by side with each step she took. She looked cute. I remember how cute and innocent she had been when I'd seen her the morning after waking up from being shot and all I had just wanted was to take her in my arms and shield her away from any future danger, stopping her from experiencing it. I found myself biting down on my lower lip and thinking of how soft her skin always felt under my touch. I wanted to feel it once more. Just once. But again, I knew I needed to stop if I wanted to not make the feelings I had for her grow any deeper. Fuck. Did I just admit to liking her? No. That wasn't it. I didn't like her that way. It wasn't feelings. It had to be something else. Maybe I was just nice to her cause she just lost her sister. And maybe because I just didn't like seeing her hurt. Yes. That was just it. It had to be it. Then ear
Jade's povThe sun's rays hit my face harshly, interrupting my sleep which caused me to hiss and throw a pillow over my face, blocking away the light. I snuggled into the blanket, yawning and trying to go back to sleep when my phone rang out loud, causing me to hiss again. I can't even get a nice sleep on my birthday. I groaned as I opened my eyes and scanned the bed for my phone in order to answer it or put it off. Whichever it was. I saw it, halfway almost falling off the bed and stretched my hand to grab it. I checked the caller and without a doubt, it was Betty. I slid the green icon and dropped it on my ear, closing my eyes and sighing. "Hey, Betty.""Happy freaking super duper birthday red one!!!" She shouted from the other end, almost making me deaf and at the same time waking me up totally. She started singing the birthday song just as I sat up, putting her on speaker then stretched lazily. "Yeah yeah. Thanks." I replied unexcitedly. "You have to say how old you are
Jade's Pov. It was afternoon already and I had never been more bored in my life. I was having a crappy birthday just like any other year and I couldn't wait to go to the bar that evening and have my strawberry cake with Betty. I stood up checking my hair in the mirror and saw I already had my roots growing out. I had to start making plans to dye my hair red once more. I took up my phone to text Betty to get me some dye packs when I opened our chat to not see any of the previous texts I had sent. I remembered texting her about a bracelet and telling her to get me a strawberry cake as well.Or did I imagine that? I felt my nose and brows scrunch up at the thought as I stared at our chat. Just then someone knocked on my door. I opened up the door to see CJ standing in front of me, a flower bouquet in his hands. He didn't look like he was happy to see me. Was he still holding a grudge from the vacation time? "Uhm...Hey." I said, slouching by the door, putting my weight on one foot
Jade's pov "Oh my dear, how do you manage to look good in everything?!" Saint's Aunt marvelled as she stood admiring me. I rubbed my arm lightly, looking down and smiling at the compliment. "I'm sure he won't be able to take his eyes off you, my dear." She added then went to stand behind me, letting me look at the mirror to see myself. I saw myself and a smile appeared on my face. My makeup was perfect and my hair was nicely styled in a low bun.I couldn't wait for Saint to see me and my heart bubbled with excitement at just the thought of it. She grinned widely seeing that I was impressed. "I think it's because you know exactly what to do," I said to her, glancing at her face for a bit. She waved her hand in the air. "Oh don't give me all the credit."I chuckled a bit at that. This woman was so sweet. I saw her rush to the shopping bag and pull out a light blue dress, a box containing a pair of shoes and a box of jewellery.She dragged me up by my hand. "Let's get you in thes
Jade's Pov. I could feel his eyes still on me as I tried to remain still, our arms rubbing softly and our hands together. The car came to a halt at a restaurant. "Just a moment." He said leaving my hand and coming down from the car to come open the door for me before the driver did. His men stood around waiting for us and Saint helped me get out of the car, covering me slightly to prevent me from flashing his men through the high slit on my dress. He held my hand just like he previously did and smiled at me. "Ready?" "Yeah," I answered, smiling back at him. He motioned for his men as we headed into the restaurant and they all took their positions. Some remained where our cars were parked, some others stood at strategic places and at the entrance of the restaurant while the rest followed us in. The waiters of the restaurant were already by the door waiting for us and they smiled when they saw us walk in. I noticed immediately the restaurant was empty just as it was the other t
Saint's Pov. We were at the beach now. She had said she wanted to walk barefooted on it and feel her toes curl into the sand while licking her ice cream. And of course, I was going to do it for her. And it was even better because it was the best place to show her the fireworks I'd prepared. The breeze blew her dress up a bit and she pouted, holding it down with her other hand that didn't have her ice cream. I watched her lick her ice cream for a bit before turning to me. Seeing that I was looking at her already made her smile. "This is exactly what I want. The sand feels so smooth." She said looking down to her feet and I saw her play with the sand, wriggling her toes in it. It made me chuckle. Every single thing she did was cute and I never got tired of watching her. She then glanced up at me then shook her head. "You really are a grandpa. I don't get why you'd choose mint chocolate over the numerous choices on the list." She said causally before licking hers. I shrugged, "I
Jade's povMy eyebrows furrowed together as the sun rays hit my face making me shut my eyes much more tighter. I was naked under the sheets and my back was pressed against a Saint's chest. His arm went across my naked breasts with his hand cupping one of them while my hand rested on his. His soft breaths followed making his body rise and fall slowly. I felt his little guy digging into my butt and I smiled at that. The previous night's memories came flooding back and I snuggled into his warmth more.I lay there for a while as he slept until I felt the need to pee. I turned to look at him to see he was still asleep and figured out I'd have to get out quietly and slowly in order for him not to wake up. I took his arm off me and had barely managed to stand up when I felt him pull me closer to himself, holding me tighter. "Where're you going, sweetie?" I heard him mutter which made me snap my head at him. "I thought you were asleep.""I was." He replied, not opening his eyes. "I need
Saint's Pov I walked into the dead hole to see CJ and my men in there. They had two guys stripped, leaving them in just their underwear and their hands were tied with the chains that came down from the ceiling. The guys had their faces covered with a sack and looked like they were unconscious. "Welcome boss." Each of my men greeted me as I walked past them to sit on a chair in the centre of the basement facing the guys they had captured. I took out a cigarette and lit it, gradually making the air around me a bit foggy and exhaled deeply before looking at CJ. "Which of them is him?" I asked. "This one," CJ replied motioning to one of them in black underwear. "And who's the other one?" I asked cocking up my eyebrows as he had only reported to me about one person. "Fontana's son, David." My lips curled up in a smirk. "Lauretta's whereabouts are unknown yet." He continued then shot a look at the guy who had outed me out. "The cunt gave David the info which was then passed to the
