Stolen Heart: A Marriage on Paper Chapter 21 - His Girlfriend
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

She's a surgeon and it wasn't her first time seeing a man half naked. During her residency she saw several males lying on the operating table half naked and sometimes wearing nothing. And she didn't feel embarrassed. What she felt isn't the same, with her husband on paper, practically flaunting his hot body, she felt her stomach flip."Where are you going," she heard Tyler asked, Jade stopped in her tracks but dared not to look back. "I forgot something in the living room," Jade lied and quickly went out of the room. A smirk was found on his face as he knew she was fleeing. Tyler found her reaction adorable each time she saw his body. Was she so loyal and faithful to her boyfriend that she wouldn't want to look at his body? Why did she agree to marry him if she was loyal and faithful to him? Wait, isn't he missing? She hired a detective to find him. His smirk morphed into a frown at the thought that she was willing to pay a hefty amount just to find him. Jade returned to her r

"Please, don't startle me when I'm cooking, I nearly dropped the pan," chiding him while she placed the pancake on the plate. Jade took a cup from the cupboard, filled it with warm water before placing it before him. "Drink before we eat." When he just stared at the warm water in front of him, Jade spoke again. "It's good for your health."Naturally, he believed her because she's a doctor. He picked up the cup and drank the warm water. Jade served the food she prepared and put food on Tyler's plate like a wife performing her duty. "Thank you," Tyler smiled and took a bite of the pancake. "Coffee?" Jade asked. "Yes, black coffee," he replied, then looked at his plate and ate. Jade poured coffee on the mug and placed it before him. "I'm going to the hospital after breakfast," Jade said, breaking the thick silence in the room. "You don't have to go with me," Jade added right away before he could speak. Tyler glanced at her briefly and looked the other way. He was pensive. After

"Tyler!" Jade's crystal clear blue eyes almost popped out of the socket and her heart pounded her chest that it almost jumped out of her chest. The color of her face could be likened to a ripe tomato. ‘What a scoundrel!’ Jade’s brain screamed. Tyler felt satisfied as they were even now. She took his first kiss three months ago. He never kissed anyone, not even Sophia. Tyler was a chaste man. At the age of thirty he never had known a woman. In other words, he is still a virgin. "Don't do it again," Jade hissed, before she could pull away from Tyler, she heard someone clear their throat. Jade turned her head and saw the boy in a wheelchair. "Does Sophia know you are already married?" The boy in the wheelchair spoke with an apparent disdain in his expression as he looked from Tyler to Jade. His gaze settled on Jade, his eyes flashed with animosity. Though he looked weak, he exudes an aristocratic aura like Tyler. Jade noticed his resemblance with Tyler; she wasn't able to look at

"Let's stay for dinner, since we are already here," as a person who disliked family feuds, although she was uneasy around Cecilia, she made up her mind to stay for the dinner so as not to aggravate Tyler's already strained relationship with his step mother. She chose to stay despite being treated harshly just to smoothen their relationship. "Are you sure?" Tyler had a frown on his face. What happened to the frightened Jade? A while ago she was scared that he felt she wanted to go home but now she behaves as if she wasn't afraid. "Yes," her big crystal blue eyes stared at him innocently. Being mesmerized by her beautiful twinkling eyes that stared into his hazel eyes, Tyler shook his head to sober up from stupor. Bewilderment took over his heart as indescribable feelings flooded his chest. "Let's head to the dining room," Tyler said, as soon as he recollected himself. Jared distinguished that Jade was different. There was no coquetry in her action or voice unlike Sophia who alw

"Hubby, we know what is true and we shouldn't be bothered," Jade giggled and started to take a step towards the door. Tyler didn't remove his hand that was on her waist. Once inside the car, the two lovey dovey became perfectly strangers as if they never knew each other. Each one was engrossed in their own thoughts and didn't give a single glance at each other. After taking a bath, Jade slipped under the covers so she could get up early for their flight the next morning. Jade was starting to drift to sleep when Tyler's side of the bed sunk. All of a sudden, Jade felt an arm snaked around her waist, she was about to unwound the arm when she was pulled. Her back touched Tyler's chest and could feel the heat his body was emanating. "Don't move," Tyler said when Jade was trying to extricate herself from his embrace. "I won't do anything to you, I just want to have a good sleep." Jade stopped moving as she remembered that he had insomnia. Sensing that Jade allowed him to hug her, he

"Are we still going to put an act here?" Jade's question made Tyler halt and looked at her intensely which made her gulp audibly. "Hug me if you don't want to fall," he spoke indifferently before he resumed walking, taking long strides. After a moment of hesitation, Jade obeyed Tyler and wound her arms around Tyler's neck. Jade could not hold back and spoke again when she saw how far he walked and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. "Put me down, Tyler, you're already tired," she was pleading as she felt awkward being stared at by people. "Your husband is not a weakling," Tyler said curtly. He is a soldier. Naturally, he’s physically fit and carrying a slender woman like Jade is just a piece of cake. "But you're sweating," Jade knew that it was a lame proof to support her conclusion that he was tired. "Wipe it," Tyler said in his usual commanding tone. Jade bit her lips to smother her desire to retort as she was afraid that he would throw her on the ground. Slowly, she

Tyler had his gaze away from her and walked fast as if fleeing from something. Jade almost ran as she followed Tyler. She'd better be cooperating with him than to heighten his irritation. She wasn't so sure what he would do to her if she annoys him further. "He's like a pregnant woman. So moody," Jade murmured and complained in her heart. Tyler came to halt when he could not hear her footsteps. He hesitated for a moment, then he turned to see if she was following him. His heart galloped like a horse inside his chest when he saw her figure bath in the lights giving off an ethereal image of Jade. She's really a stunner. Not only her face would take a man's breath away but also her body could knock the wind out. There was a war waging inside Tyler. A conflict between differing emotions. Tyler frowned at his own thoughts at the woman in front of him. "Hurry up," Tyler's tone was neither harsh nor gentle but his expression was stern. Jade made her steps quicker. And she was alread

"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.

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
