Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper Chapter 14 - Unwelcome
It was noon time when Jade stepped out of the room being asked to dine with the hostess of the mansion. "Ms. Jade, your presence was requested at the dining room," Simeon said, carefully examining Jade from head to toe. In his early fifties, Simeon, who had been serving the Zimmerman's for thirty years, saw Tyler grow up and knew who the people around Tyler were. And he never saw Jade to be one of them. Being with Zimmerman for a long time, Simeon had knowledge of the stipulation made by Tyler's father regarding his inheritance. Simeon knew that Tyler's father didn't want him to marry Sophia. Hence, he was suspicious that Jade was just a wife on paper. Jade wasn't simple minded, she knew that Simeon was sizing her up. Nevertheless, she chose to ignore his scrutiny. "I'll be there in 10 minutes," Jade staggered and swayed when she got up from the bed and nearly collapsed back into the bed but she managed to steady herself. "Madam doesn't want to wait," Simeon spoke indifferently

With her face heating up, the fair and rosy cheeks of Jade were now crimson red. Due to her shock, rather than answering his question she asked him instead. "Why are you here?" "I came back to bring your phone," Tyler lifted her handbag with a frown. Radiant as the sun was Jade's face when a smile bloomed on her face, bedazzling someone who looked at her. Tyler stared at her while she took the handbag from him. "You haven't answered me, Jade," Tyler said, not releasing the handbag to her, looking at the woman who bloomed like a flower in front of him. "I want to go home, Tyler," Jade didn't realize that she mentioned his name smoothly as if they were a real couple. Jade calling his name in an intimate manner tugged at Tyler's heartstrings that compelled him to reach out, gently pat Jade's head and spoke tenderly at her. "Are you bored?" Tyler's action made Jade's heart flip. What's with the move? Is he taking advantage of me? Hearing someone coughing at their back, Jade was r

Back at the old mansion"Madam, Mr. Tyler told me to inform you that she had taken his wife to his mansion," Simeon politely relayed Tyler's message to Cecilia. "What do you perceive?" Cecilia asked Simeon, her eyes trained outside, looking at the trees that had orange leaves signifying the autumn season. Before he opened his mouth to speak, Simeon swallowed. "I think the marriage was nothing but a sham. However, upon observing Mr. Tyler's interaction with the girl his actions were genuine. He cared for her." All the while when Tyler was talking to Jade at the door, Simeon observed Tyler carefully. Tyler's usually calm and cold eyes that showed no emotion at all, had that glow in them, reflecting an emotion flooding his heart. Though Tyler was always gentle and caring towards Sophia his eyes lack luster when he was with her. But not for Jade, his eyes sparkled and carried warmth. It wasn't a pretense. It's just that what was in his heart overflowed and couldn't contain it. At th

Seeing how sorrowful Jade was, Tyler couldn't find it in himself to ignore her and just do nothing to ease it. He approached Jade and sat at the empty space of the couch. Afterwards, he pulled her to him, wrapping the frail woman in his warmth. Jade's body went stiff for a moment when she felt being embraced before she turned to look who came to hug her. Red rimmed eyes came in contact with Tyler's hazel eyes. The coldness of his eyes was replaced by something Jade couldn't name. But she tried to name the emotion in his eyes. Sympathy. That was the emotion held in those attractive hazel eyes. "Why are you crying?" The gentleness in his voice was Jade's undoing. After the death of her biological parents and adoptive parents she never heard anyone ask her in this manner. Unthinkingly, she wound her arms around his waist and cried on his chest. Only her sobs could be heard in the room for about 10 minutes, Tyler stroked her head while she cried like a baby. Letting her water work s

Jade ran downstairs as if she was being chased by an enemy. "Good evening, madam, do you need something?" Gregory, Tyler's butler asked when he saw Jade rushing towards the door. Jade stopped dead and breathed in some air. She didn't turn afraid that Tyler was at the stairs looking at her. "Is there a driver that could send me to my apartment?" Jade knew that a high end community like this would not allow cab to enter. "Yes, madam," Gregory replied and approached the intercom to call a driver. "Thanks," Jade said and walked out of the mansion in a haste. A chilly air encased Jade and she remembered that she had forgotten her purpose why she entered the walk-in closet. Her face, neck and ears turned red as Tyler's image on his boxers floated in her mind. She tried to erase the image of his well sculpted body from her mind but they kept coming back. "Madam," Jade was pulled back from her trance when the driver called her. She looked and saw the driver had already opened the rea

Caught in surprise by Tyler's sudden action, she was knocked off balance and stumbled. Her face landed on Tyler's sturdy chest. She was a little dizzy for some time and her forehead hurt a little at the force she collided on his chest. Tyler tilted his head to look at Jade who rested her forehead on his chest. Their eyes met when Jade slowly lifted her head. Tyler frowned when he saw that her forehead was red. Unconsciously, he lifted his hand and caressed her forehead. "Does it hurt?" It took all of Jade's self control to repress her eyes from rolling. She bit her lower lip so that she wouldn't blurt out anything that would agitate this annoying man in front of her taking into account his temper. "No," Jade answered and shrugged her shoulders before stepping backward only to lose her balance once again. With Tyler's fast reflex, he wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her so she wouldn't fall. Jade wanted to dig a hole, clamber into it and hide. It seemed that Tyler en

Angry drivers cursed at Tyler as he maneuvered the car and swerved to another lane cutting some cars in the process. Jade didn't know when and how long she shut her eyes. Her body was shaking and her breathing was erratic. "We're here," Tyler announced, pulling Jade out of her shock. Breaking down, Jade wept for a while and when she finished letting out her frustration, lifting her head she stared at him. "I want a divorce," the words that came out of her mouth caused Tyler to exude a terrifying aura."We aren't getting divorce until we have completed our mission," he said and slammed the steering wheel. The sound of his fist slamming the steering wheel made Jade jump as it evoked fear she felt when she witnessed her parents being murdered. The scene when her parents were killed replayed in her mind. Hidden by her parents in the closet when their house was raided by uniformed men. Almost, cutting her tongue, biting it to smother her scream, Jade watched the men brutally tortured

Jade saw his tender gaze but didn't think so much about it thinking that she was just seeing things and closed her eyes. She waited for Tyler to leave before opening her eyes, but he remained seated at the edge of the bed. "Go and wash your face. The dinner will get cold," Tyler said and walked away when she refused to look at him. Jade tried to decipher the emotion in his tone but couldn't decode it and didn't have the right term to identify it. Jade got up from the bed and it was only then that she remembered what had happened in the car. Three minutes later, she walked into the kitchen. Landing her gaze on the sumptuous meal served on the table, she couldn't help but widened her eyes in surprise. She recognized that it was the ingredients she bought in the supermarket. "Did you ask someone to cook all of this?" Jade couldn't stop from asking. "No," Tyler shook his head. "You know how to cook?" All the more Jade's widened eyes got wider. "Do I look like someone who doesn't

"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
Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper Chapter 179 - Cruelty Stepped Up
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.

Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper Chapter 178 - Ungrateful Brat
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
Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper Chapter 177 - Couldn't Hit The Right Note
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.

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
