Jade's Pov. I stood up slowly, meeting her eyes and watching her as she walked to where I was. She was the one. She was Suzy. Betty too had her eyes wide open and held a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming out loud. "Jade." She said as she stood in front of me. I didn't know what to do. To scream? To hug her? To get angry and shout at her? To start asking her questions? To not say anything and just sit back down. I was so confused. I don't know... My mind was a mess. I had become frozen. It felt surreal. Like I had seen a ghost. Or rather, like I was seeing a ghost. But she was in front of me, looking at me just like I was doing the same to her. "Jade..." She said again. She gave me a little smile, reached out her hand and touched my arm lightly. Her brown eyes looked unsure of what next to do and she pressed her lips together with a sigh. I slowly looked down at her arm, feeling her touch on my skin and then looked back to her face. She was real. She wasn't a gho
Jade's Pov I watched Suzy. Was she going to reveal where Marcel was? Knowing fully well that Saint was going to kill him for sure. Saint waited for her answer as well and soon enough she gave a short dry laughter. "I don't know." She said shaking her head. Saint banged his clenched fist on the table making both her and me to jerk up in shock. "Do you think I'm having fun here? Sitting and watching you lie through your teeth? Huh?" He snapped, his tone getting impatient. Suzy met his eyes, for the first time since she started speaking. "I've only seen him on three occasions. When he came to rescue me, when he randomly showed up one day with a bullet wound and when he came to tell me to go to the event." She told him. "I don't know where he stays or whatever. It's impossible to find him. You should know better since you've been looking for him for a long time now."I saw Saint lose his patience finally and hurry up to where she sat, dumping his half-finished cigarette on the table.
Jade's pov "You say I have no effect on you any longer, sweetheart?" He asked me and his mischievous smirk spread into a wider smile. His face was so close to mine that our lips were only a few inches apart. I bit my inner cheek, staring into those brown dangerous eyes. I was lying. He knew I was lying. We both knew. Because even as I rested on the kitchen table with my legs slightly open and with him standing in between and leaning down to speak to me, I was getting hot already. The throbbing sensation I felt was calling on to him, desperately. All I had just wanted that evening was to make food for myself and somehow I found myself in this position with Saint. After the Suzy incident a few days ago, I had just ended up spending most of my time inside my room. Although my new room was just beside his, I just saw him on one occasion and it had been awkward on my own side seeing I was the one keeping my distance from him. I had come out that evening to make dinner as usual and to m
Saint's povShe was going to be the end of me. She had no idea the kind of effect she had on me as well and it always drove me crazy. She was so fucking sexy without even trying so much. She was just so fucking beautiful. I had missed her like crazy these past few weeks and I thought I was going to lose my mind. Cigarettes and alcohol weren't doing much help and I knew on how many occasions I had stroked myself, just thinking of her. Seeing her react to my touch that way made me excited and when I saw how wet she was and how her nipples were peeking from her shirt, I knew I was not going to be able to control myself. I felt myself getting hard already and if she had insisted that I stop and she did not want it, I knew the next step was to go over to my room and jerk myself off to the image of her wet pussy. She just didn't know all these and how she made me feel each time. And when she had pushed herself up the table and spread her thighs even wider, flashing her fat pussy at me,
Jade's pov We got to his room and he put me down on his bed, dropping both of our shirts on the floor. He removed his pants and his huge dick which was still erect came into view. How was he talking about cleaning me up when I in fact still wanted more of him? As much as I could take. "Come down here sweetheart." He told me and I came down to my knees in front of him, looking up at him and licking my lips ready to take his dick in my mouth. I took his dick in both of my hands which still didn't cover the whole thing and started to stroke it. I then circled my lips around it, taking it all in my mouth. "Yes. Fuck!" He moaned out loud, holding my hair to the back with his hand. I started bopping my head to it, making eye contact with him as I did so. He looked pleased and he pushed my head in, making his dick hit the back of my throat. When it did, I moved my tongue around it, opening my mouth wider and letting him push it further in. I felt my eyes get watery and good enough, my
Jade's pov I didn't bring up the conversation between him and CJ again. It was like an acceptance on my part and I was going to learn how to deal with my feelings for him in whichever way I could. We mostly just had sex, tried out our different fantasies, and cuddled up together after we were done until it was time for him to get to work before he left. And on more than half of the occasion whoever he came back to the house, he always bought me a gift. Today was one of them and as I opened the perfume box, I met his smiling eyes watching me do so. His arms were folded as he leaned on my bedroom doorframe while his eyes just followed every of my movement. I chuckled, squinting my eyes at him playfully. "What?" I asked. "Is there something weird in here?" I said, bringing the box to my ear and giving it a slight shake. He shook his head smiling without responding. I shot him a suspicious look and shook the box once again. "You're acting weird," I said to him and he laughed. "Aunt
Jade's povHe drove us to his aunt's store while his men followed in a car behind. He had said to me that he just wanted it to be the both of us alone in his car and I didn't object. There was nothing to object. I shot him little glances from time to time and would smile when his eyes locked with mine. I felt so bad for him and too guilty for hearing his conversation. He stopped the car in front of the store and came over to open my side of the door.I got out and he took my hand turning to lead me inside. "Saint..." I started, stopping in my tracks and making him turn to face me. What was I doing? "Is there a problem?" His voice was gentle and I was contemplating hard if I was supposed to be talking. I thought for a while, peering into his eyes as he waited for me to respond. "I'm sorry." I blurted out. He had a neutral expression on his face as he came closer to me. "What for?" I rubbed my arm lightly still unsure if I was supposed to be saying this. "About..." He nodded,
Jade's pov"These clothes all look beautiful. You've got a good eye." I complimented her, sorting out some clothes she had asked me to. She giggled, "I've been told."We talked about other things and she gave me some tea on celebrities that would come shop from her and even showed me some pictures she took with them. She was interesting to talk to and I was already imagining how I would convince Saint once again for me to come visit her. Speaking of Saint, I thought about if he had gotten to CJ and if he was handling the situation well. I only hoped he was. I sent a quick text to him asking him if he had gotten to CJ and if he was safe when Serena was not looking. "Soo... about you and Saint." Serena started and I snapped out of my thoughts. "How's things between you two? Is he giving you a headache?" I took a deep breath. "He gives me a headache almost every day," I replied honestly. Serena chuckled, showcasing her nice set of teeth. "He has never been an easy one right from bi
Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also. Hi
Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was
Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri
Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer
Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out
Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don
Jade's pov At this rate, I should seriously start getting awards for every time I get kidnapped, or become unconscious or land in the hands of some people - or the same people- that want me dead. My head hurt a lot as I blinked twice, not opening my eyes yet. I felt my wrists tied together and my legs too tied together at my ankle. I was glad at least they didn't blindfold me. I remembered seeing Lauretta on Saint's thigh and running out, then was grabbed by CJ and finally at the red traffic stop, a car had run into us. And I still didn't believe Marcel was dead. Just like that. I grunted, opening my eyes lightly and letting my vision adjust to the light and surrounding. When I finally adjusted, I sat up and a girl lying beside me and tied just the same way I was, caught my attention. She moved a little and her face came into view which made a gasp to escape from my mouth as I saw who it was. "Suzy?" I said and she opened her eyes to look at me, shaking her head. Her mouth was ta
Saint's pov We were already halfway to Matrix's hideout since it was a two-hour ride when I looked at Alessandro like he had just said the most atrocious thing ever. "What do you mean CJ is unreachable?" I asked him, ringing CJ's line from my phone. He had texted me immediately after he found Jade and I had since been waiting for his call to tell me they were safe somewhere, maybe at the house, at any of the hotels I owned or just any place he could think of. But no call came in and my racy thoughts and the unsettling feeling I got made me uneasy with every second that passed by. And I had instructed Alessandro to call him. The same unsettling feeling I got the night of Aunt's death. His phone was switched off and I immediately rang Jade's line but got the same thing at her end. Something had to be wrong. And I hoped Matrix hadn't gotten a hold of them. Or even if he had, I hoped they were at the same location as he was, which was the exact place we were going to. I hated mysel
Saint's PovThe tears I saw in her eyes as she looked at me in hatred made me risk yanking Lauretta off my thighs and not caring if I ended up dying from the cut on my neck. But the risk was a deadly one because I wouldn't survive if I dared. Lauretta was undeniably good with knives. Her only positive trait if I may add. I heard Lauretta giggle and grind herself a little more as she turned and locked eyes with Jade. She was making sure Jade thought we were doing whatever it looked like we were doing. I took that opportunity of her distraction to stretch my hands to the gun and grab it lightly, feeling her hand a bit loose on my neck. But that still didn't stop the pain that was springing out from there which made me know the knife had cut me a little. Jade turned around and hurried out, banging the door behind her just as I corked the gun in my hand, putting it to Lauretta's head. I called out her name, determined to end Lauretta and run after her immediately. Lauretta turned to
