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.
"Tyler, we got the ring leader," Jade wasn't aware that she hugged Tyler because she was elated that finally she could avenge her parents. Her parents death had to do with the rebels who wanted to topple down the government. The information she gathered was more than enough to squash the rebellion. Jade handed him all the information she had gathered. This information could be used to squash the rebellion. Their country has been plagued by these rebellious people who always come against the government. "Great job," Tyler said but there was no trace of joy in him. Jade stared at the man in front of her. She was bewildered that he was apparently not sharing the same feelings as her. "Are you feeling ill?" Jade placed her hand on his forehead to check if he had a fever. Jade was thrown off guard when Tyler gathered her in his arms and leaned his chin on her shoulder like a clingy husband. He never did this, sure they cuddled every night when it was time to sleep so he could sl
When they were brought to the orphanage. The orphanage director changed their names for their protection. Concealing their identities will remove all traces that would be use by the murderers to track them. "Who are you?" Although his brother was the only living person who knew about her nickname, she still wanted to check. She didn't want to be reckless. "Jadey, it's Colton," Jade's brother excitedly replied. Jade was silent and hadn't replied. Colton could sense her reluctance and said a lot of things particularly the naughty things she did when she was a little girl that only her brother knew about. One of them was the time Colton caught her numerous times sneaking in the middle of night just to eat ice cream. She pleaded with him not to tell their parents about her sneaking in the night just to eat ice cream. Her parents forbid her to eat sweets as she became hyperactive and couldn't keep up with her. "Brother," Jade became emotional and her voice trembled. She clutched 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
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
