"Yeah, it's really a small world, Mrs. Schneider," the way he say 'Mrs. Schneider' sounds like he was mocking her. Jade was furious and wanted to get even. Her darkened blue eyes locked with his hazel eyes that were dancing with mischief. "Did you bring your son here Mr. Zimmerman? Oh, by the way, I love to meet your son and love of your life, Sophia Zimmerman," her comeback was like a sharp blade cutting away his amused smile, leaving him bleeding in agony. Satisfied that she was able to cut his arrogance, Jade smirked and looked down on the boy beside her. "Let's get going Tim, you don't want to be late on the first day of school, do you?" "Good bye, Mr. Zimmerman," Jade wished that she didn't have to cross paths with him. "Bye uncle Tyler," Tim waved his hand, Tyler nodded but his gut twisted when Tim called him 'uncle.' Remorseful that she chose this school for her son but she can't do anything now. She can't plant and pluck his son whenever she likes. Enduring is what she
Oblivious to her surroundings as her sole focus was on her son, Jade didn't see Tyler standing beside the police officers; however, Luke saw him. Luke shot him a cold gaze but Tyler ignored it. "Mommy, you're smothering me," Tim complained while he giggled. Jade pulled away and scrutinized him. Her hands were trembling as she checked her son. "Are you hurt?" "I'm not, Uncle Tyler wouldn't hurt me," Tim saw his mom's eyes wide as a saucer in unbelief. Surging anger overcame her and didn't think what would come out of her. "What? That prick took you from the school?" Luke sniggered, hearing her name called Tyler. Tyler clenched his fist. "Mommy?" Tim was surprised to hear his mom say such a thing to a person, especially to someone who was nice to him. Jade realized what she had spoken just now and looked guiltily at her son. "Uncle Tyler is here," Tim said, watching what his mom would do. Jade turned her head and saw Tyler intensely looking at her with his jaw set.Her fury b
Every single detail he had all recounted it leaving nothing untold. "I have my sister in law and nephew's photo when they were still alive," Jared took his phone and opened his social media account. "Here, take a look." Tyler hadn't had a second thought, took Jared's phone and looked at the pictures. Luke's wife looks exactly like his wife but what befuddled him was that Tim doesn't look like him. "What's my son's name?" Tyler asked. "Your son's name was taken from our father, Timothy. His name is Timothy Johan." Tyler's eyes turned dark. He didn't speak for a good minute, Jared kept his mouth shut, for he knew that his brother didn't like being disturbed when he was thinking."Was there any man around Jade when she was alive? Brother or friend?" Jared smirked. "She's already dead, are you still possessive over a dead person? You have to get over her brother?" Livid, he slammed the table. "Answer me!" Jared jumped from his seat. "Keep your cool," he lifted his hands in surrend
Illumination suddenly came in and Jared's eyes grew wide."Now you understand what I'm trying to say?" Jared nodded while he had his thumb and forefinger on his chin."I need you to help me," he's certain that Jade was his wife and Tim was his. Tyler connected the dots according to all the information he gathered from Jared. However, he has to solve a riddle why Tim's face had changed.Another thing he was puzzled about is the fact that neither Jade nor Tim recognize him. Are they having amnesia too? "You can count on me," Jared patted his brother's shoulder, affirming to him that he's at his back and would help him all the way to get his family back. As Jared left his office. A chilling aura exuded making the whole room like a freezer. It's time to confront Sophia. She must have known him very well to have successfully played his emotion and used it as leverage to kick Jade out. He had to teach her a lesson. This
A filthy woman like her has no right to touch him.Sophia's face sank, her eyes red rimmed as they looked into Tyler's ever cold eyes."Tyler, I know you can't remember me but I will wait for you… even if you won't recover memory, I'll always be here for you and I won't leave you," Sophia said all the while letting her tears flow unhindered.Tyler's eyes softened considerably the longer he stared at her pitiful face.He stood up and walked towards the stairs, Sophia helplessly watched his receding figure.Stepping on the first steps, Tyler paused. "I'm going to stay tonight."Sophia sprang from her seat as she couldn't contain her excitement. "Really?"She got no answer from Tyler as he already resumed going upstairs.His lack of reaction to her excitement did nothing to dampen her spirit.She's sure that after tonight, Tyler will b
Tyler was getting ready to savor the wine when someone knocked on the door. Completely annoyed being stopped from enjoying the wine, Tyler bellowed. "Come in!" Sophia was internally cursing the person. "Madam, someone was looking for you," the butler informed his head bowed down, unwilling to look at Tyler's chilling gaze. "Who was it?" Sophia asked with a deep frown. The butler shrugged his shoulders. "Go and see who it is. Give me a break, I want to enjoy my wine," Tyler's exasperated tone made Sophia euphoric. His exasperation only showed that he did really want to drink. "I thought someone wants to see me?" Sophia asked when she saw the vacant room. "Madam, we didn't let the person in as he refused to say who he was. He's waiting outside," the butler replied, earning a scowl from Sophia. Curious despite herself, Sophia went out to see who it was.Sophia stomped her feet when she couldn't find the person looking for her. If she wasn't in a good spirit tonight, everyone wi
Blinking her eyes several times, Jade was still there right in front of her. 'I haven't drunk any wine yet, but my eyes are doing tricks on me now.' She looked up at Tyler, judging from his reaction, Tyler was absolutely stunned. "Mr. Stockholm, it's been a while," Luke said as he reached out for the hand waiting for a handshake. "May I have the pleasure to know who's this beauty beside the eunuch of the business society?" Mr. Stockholm cracked a joke. He had known Luke for a long time, he had a rumored fiancée but he never brought her with him. He was indifferent when he was asked about his fiancée and this prompted a conclusion that it was just a rumor.In their circle Luke was the only one who hadn't had a scandal, his record was so clean that they began to call him eunuch. Luke looked down at the woman standing beside him and put his hand over her hand that was holding his arm. The sparkling hazel green eyes indicated how deeply he loved the woman. "She's Jade, my wife." "S
As night eventually became day, Jade blinked her groggy eyes, cracking a big yawn, rubbing her eyes like a bleary, languorous cat."Good morning," Luke's voice took away all the sleepiness from her and she sat up, leaning her body on the head rest.His eyes shone brightly as the sun, giving warmth, her heart felt his warmth."Breakfast in bed," he settled the bed tray on her lap and gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek.Though it was an innocent kiss, Jade's face turned red as if she had been basking under the sunlight a long time.Her adorable response disabled Luke from holding back his laughter."Luke," she uttered, covering her face with hands.Adoringly he eyed the shy woman in front of him, his face full of smiles. "Alright, I'll leave you then."After she had eaten her breakfast, Luke went out from the walk-in closet in his custom tailored sui
"We have to tell Jason about it. The boy should not be kept in the dark. No matter what, that is his mother," Jade said and sighed. "If he wants to see her for the last time, we'll allow him," Jade said again. They can't change the fact that Sophia is Jason's mother. If he wants to see his mother they will allow it. Jade felt the need for Jason to see his mother for the last time so he could get closure. As usual the dinner table was lively as the family bantered while they're having dinner. The family practice the stiff table manners among the aristocrats when they're having dinner with outsiders. But when they were eating with their relatives they didn't follow the stiff table manners. Tyler and Jade didn't want their kids to feel like being shackled. "Jason, mom and dad are going to talk to you about your mother," Tyler said while the family was seated at the patio after the meal. Timothy, when he heard it, being sensible, he stood up and about to leave but Jason stopped hi
Morning came, Jade abruptly sat up. As soon as she woke up she remembered Jason. "Hey, easy," Tyler's voice rang out. "Baby, is Jason back? Did you find him?" While she was surrendering herself to oblivion last night, she heard him promise to find Jason. "Yes," Tyler answered but the glum in his face made Jade's breathing erratic, she staggered backward. "What happened to him? Where is our son?" Jade was starting to panic again. "Answer me!" Jade said when he didn't answer. "Calm down, baby," Tyler pulled her to him. He swallowed. He doesn't know how to tell her that Jason received a hard beating from Sophia and the boy was in a coma and hadn't woken up yet. "How could I calm down? You're not telling me where my son is?" Jade was a sobbing mess. "Shhhh, alright, calm down first and I'll tell you," Tyler stroked her hair. "Tyler, please hurry up and tell me. I want to see him," Jade pleaded. "We found Jason last night, but he's in the hospital now. Sophia treated him brutally
Hatred flickered in the gray orbs of the young boy as he stared at the woman called his mother. Not once did he feel loved by her. Even when he was in her womb, she did not consider the effect of her vices on his health.In his mother's heart he wasn't a person at all. He was just a tool. A tool she could use so that she could keep Tyler. The woman his mother was berating, the woman who wasn't related to him was the one who surrounded her with unconditional love. The love he craved from his mother was given by Jade without an ulterior motive. Since the day Tyler took him back Jade did nothing but to make him feel loved and accepted. It wasn't for a show. With or without people surrounding them Jade was consistently kind and loving to him. The same love she showered Timothy and the twins was the same love showered to him by Jade. Jade hasn't carried her in her womb but in the heart of the boy, Jade is his real mother. "You! Why do you look at me like that? Did she brainwash you
In the morning, Jade walked into the kitchen with a limp. She gulped when she saw the back of her man. His tight fit t- shirt and joggers defined his broad shoulders, slim waist and perky butt. His muscles flexed with every move he made. "Didn't you have your fill last night? Have you?" Tyler chuckled, snapping Jade out from her reverie. Slightly annoyed, Jade rolled her eyes and snorted. Tyler chuckled and continued cooking. The kids and Jade were already at the table when Tyler was done cooking. Timothy and Jason praised their dad for his cooking skill. Tyler was smiling from ear to ear due to the boys' approval. "I'll take the boys to school and be back after that," Tyler said while he nuzzled her neck. "Aren't you going to the company?" Jade asked while she brushed her hair. "I've been away for four consecutive days, I would like to spend time with my wife," he kept nuzzling her neck. "Today is your day off and I have to grab this opportunity to have you all myself while
A confused Jade walked out of the hospital flanked by bodyguards. Once seated on the rear passenger seat, Jade fished out her phone from her bag and called Tyler. "Babe," Tyler's voice came over. Jade took note of his tired voice. "Is something the matter? Why did you send bodyguards to pick me up?" Jade tried to speak as calm as she could but her words gave away how she felt at this time. "It's Sophia… She's on the loose," Tyler didn't want her to get frightened but he won't let her keep in the dark. He wanted her to be vigilant. "How? The correctional facilities have tight security, how did she manage to escape?" Jade frantically asked. Her breathing became erratic thinking about her four children. Now that Sophia is at large, the children would be her easy target to inflict damage to her and Tyler. "Her parents were able to get a court decision to transfer Sophia from the correctional to a mental institution due to her mental illness," Tyler answered. "Jadey, Sophia is a cr
Wilson Heinrich was placed on his cradle after being fed. Jade took the name of her youngest son from his adoptive father Wilson and Heinrich, the man who saved her from those who sought to kill her. "Why are you wearing a long face?" Cecilia cast a question to Jared innocently. "You should be in a festive mood because your nephew and niece are delivered safely," Jade said, wearing a sad expression as if she was offended. But deep inside she was just trying to pry on his love affair. "No, I am very happy!" Jared forced a smile. "Spill it!" Tyler said when he saw that he was forcing a smile. "Alright!" Jared lifted his hands in surrender. Tyler could read him easily and couldn't hide from him. Furthermore, he needs sound advice. "It's Gwen," his shoulders sagged as he mentioned her name. Jade and Cecilia shared a look."She's leaving and going back to Germany," he sighed. "So?" Cecilia reacted as if she didn't know anything. "I fell in love with her." Tyler's lips twitched.
Jade felt her whole body froze and stood there like an ice sculpture.Is this the bad feelings I had a while ago? Is he going to ruin my wedding? Why? Why doesn't he want me to be happy with my beloved? "Jadey, aren't you going to welcome your brother to your wedding?" Colton chuckled. Hearing her brother's remark, instantly the knot in her stomach disappeared. Jade turned around slowly. Her brother's tender gaze welcomed her. "Oh Jadey, you're so beautiful," Colton said proudly. He gathered her in his arms. "How did you know?" Jade asked him when he set her free from his hold. "Your man," two days before the wedding Tyler phoned him. At first he was livid when Tyler said that he and Jade are getting married. But after ranting at Tyler on the phone for about five minutes and receiving no retort from the man. His anger dissipated. Tyler told him that although Jade wanted to get married without his knowledge. He knew that Jade was sad that Colton would not be there in the weddi
One day before Jade and Tyler's wedding. They were cuddling on the couch overseeing the mountains. Suddenly, Jade's phone went off. She picked up her phone. "Hello, how was your honeymoon?" "It's great!" Colton answered but his voice was a little bit agitated. Jade picked up her brother's mood even without seeing his face. "What's wrong?" "Jadey, we had just arrived at the airport but we have to fly to Germany. Something came up," Colton said. "Okay take care of yourselves," Jade said seriously but her heart was leaping with joy. They had a few exchanges before hanging up the phone. "You silly girl," Tyler poked her forehead. "I wonder what would be your brother's reaction after he found out what you did to his company's website." "How did you know?" Jade didn't say what her plan was to him. "I didn't forget that you're an expert hacker," Tyler said, eyeing her with a naughty grin."That will be only until two in the afternoon and then their website will be back to normal," sh
It's been a week since Jared agreed to Gwyneth's proposal. Every evening after work they would go out and Gwen would always act cute before him and that infuriates Jared. However, he could do nothing but stifle his anger and act along with her. In order to divert the people's people's attention from Jade and Tyler. Gwyneth would always have their photos posted on her i*******m with captions. [Love of my life… Jared&Gwenfoerever] Gwyneth had gained hundreds of thousands followers. Many were thrilled at the couple and wished their relationship to stand firm forever. Her phone notifications were nonstop and she had to turn off the notification on her social media. On the other hand, Jared had no idea what Gwyneth had posted on her I*******m because he was too busy to even look at these things. "Jade, what do you think? Will Gwen be able to capture Jared's heart?" Cecilia altogether stopped setting up a blind date for Jared when Tyler said not to interfere in Jared's love affair. T
