"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
Understanding her point, Tyler nodded. He lifted his foot and strode. Jade was able to breathe when he didn't insist and followed Tyler quietly. As she followed Tyler, her attention was drawn to the beautiful landscape that she didn't notice there were a few steps going down. "Ahhh" Jade screamed, closing her eyes and anticipating the pain that would come with the fall but nothing came, instead she felt two strong arms all around her. She thought it was Tyler, however, she smelled an unfamiliar scent and perfume. Smells good but it wasn't Tyler's scent and perfume. She opened her eyes and was greeted by a handsome man with hazel green eyes, a straight nose, supple lips and a perfectly chiseled face. He's as handsome as Tyler but his face was gentle and warm unlike Tyler who has a wintry and intimidating aura around him. "Are you okay, miss?" The voice of the man was magnetic and pleasant to the ear. Tyler felt his chest tightened at the sight of Jade being in the arms of anoth
Jade darted towards Luke and in under a minute she was kneeling in front of him. "You're bleeding," the color of Jade's face was drained and her face paled several shades. After a long time, she had seen Luke. But she didn't imagine that she would be seeing him in this predicament. Some security personnel of the hotel came over to them. "Please call for an ambulance," Jade frantically yelled to the assistant. "Ma'am this is a private island and there's no hospital here, absolutely no ambulance," the security personnel answered with a grim expression. There has never been a case of shooting in the island as the security in the island was tight. Hence, they only have a small clinic for some emergency cases but not this case."We have a clinic but the doctor is not around, he will be back tomorrow," he added before Jade could react."I'm a surgeon, I can help him," Jade said without missing a beat. "Let's bring him to the clinic," the assistant said after he recovered from his sh
A neighbor had risked his life when he came to their house just to get Jade out of the house after her parents were murdered. The criminals were still looking if there were other people in the house. They removed all evidence and took away Jade's mom and dad's body. There was no news about her parents death. To the neighborhood they just vanished into thin air.The only person who knew about it was the man who helped them. He too went out of the country after he entrusted Jade and her brother into the orphanage. If he hadn't helped her get out of the house that time she might have been killed. The man kept her in his house for a week and looked for her 17 yrs old brother who was not around that time as he went to stay with his friend. After a week he took them to an orphanage, they concealed Jade and her brother's identity afraid that someone would be after them and kill them. "Please, let me have your phone number. I'm sure, my boss will ask me if I asked for your number," Ros
"Hello, may I know who this is?" Jade said, earning a frown from Tyler. "Jade, it's Luke," Jade couldn't stop the smile that made its way to her lips. She forgot to do the assistant’s instruction a while ago and hadn’t saved his name on her contacts. "Luke, how are you?" She looked down her lap as she didn't want to see Tyler's cold face. He was ruining her day. "Thank you for saving me, Jade. I owe you my life," Luke said with a soft voice, forcing himself to speak as he was still in so much pain. "Don't mention it. Take good care of your injury, don't let it get infected if you want to have complete limbs," Jade giggled. Tyler's knuckles were white as he clenched them so hard. Luke was getting into his nerves. "I will," Luke chuckled lightly and went on. "I hope to see you again." "Take a rest first, Luke. There's plenty of time for that," Jade's voice trembled. She never expected that the day she had been waiting for, had finally come. She's sure that she will see him again
Promptly not wasting a second, Tyler went back to their suite when the lights went off. He was worried, knowing how she got scared easily. He opened the door, the lightning illuminated the dark room and his eyes looked at the bed but there was no one on the bed. He scanned the palace and caught sight of the figure in the corner, curled up. "Jade," he darted towards Jade upon seeing her scared figure, curled up in the corner. He gathered her in his arms and gritted his teeth when he felt her trembling and cold body. Guilt eating him up. He shouldn't have left her alone, knowing that she got scared easily. What she went through at a young age was deeply embedded in her heart that made her fearful. "Jade," he called her again while he stroked her back. Instantly, her fear dissipated the moment Jade felt the familiar warm embrace of the man. "T - yler," Jade whimpered and drew her body close to him, feeling safe in his arms. "Don't be afraid," Tyler stroked her back and gently lif
