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
Men turned their heads to the exquisite woman entering the hall. She wore a V neck halter dress that shows her cleavage. The hem of her dress stopped mid thigh. All the more, the urge to shop new clothes for her intensified as Tyler saw the lustful gaze men threw at Jade. Jade had no idea that Tyler glowered at the men who shamelessly gave Jade an amorous stare. Quite happy when Tyler drew a chair for her, she rewarded him with a smile at his gentlemanly act. However, her smile turned a little sour when she realized that Tyler was too cautious and always putting an act. It was impossible that a spy would follow them here. Jade wondered if Tyler was still putting on an act or this is the real Tyler. Again, they ate their breakfast in silence and they surreptitiously looked when one of them was not looking. "Are you done eating?" Tyler spoke when he couldn't take the awkward silence passing between them. "Yes," Jade said as she looked into his eyes. Jade saw a vague emotion flas
They were merely married on paper and she felt uncomfortable using his money.For a married couple, it's just a normal thing for a woman to use her husband's card. In their case, they aren't a real couple. She was being sensible to use her own money. "I'm your husband hence you have the right to use my money," Tyler said coldly with his eyes fixed on Jade's face. Jade couldn't help but to snicker. "I think you forgot something. Let me remind you… our marriage was just a facade to cover up our mission." With fluid motion, Tyler snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her to him, eradicating the gap between their bodies. Her quick reflex enabled her to place her hands on his chest so she won't collide into his chest. "You're my legal wife," Tyler's voice was dangerously low but attractive like music to the ear. "As your legal husband, it's my responsibility to take care of your needs."Upon hearing Tyler's words, her complexion turned ashen. Alarm bells ringing in her head. 'Di
For the past few days, Tyler didn't bother Jade just to give her ample time to do the hacking. They live a harmonious life like a real couple. Having breakfast together before leaving her alone to do her task and would come for lunch to eat with her then leave, only to come back for dinner. As per request from Tyler, he would cuddle Jade to sleep. That was the intimacy they shared but never went beyond. Jade was rather perplexed that she was already used to the warmth of his body. While engrossed in her hacking, the phone beside her laptop suddenly rang. "Jade," Terrence's voice carried a hint of elation which Jade picked up easily. Jade's heart skipped a beat and held her breath. "I found him!" Terrence exclaimed in joy. "Really!" Jade stood up from the couch. She couldn't stop the tears rolling down from her eyes to her cheeks. "I approached him and told him that you have been searching for him," Terrence voice quivered a little, he knew the story of Jade and her brother.
