The car was already moving when Jade finally recovered from her shock.She couldn't believe it. Tyler exposed their relationship. "You shouldn't have told her about us," Jade couldn't suppress her anger as she talked to him. Tyler was surprised to see her angry. No matter what he did to her in the past she never showed her anger. "I did that to protect you," Tyler didn't like that woman casting an accusatory glance and remarks at Jade. Jade gritted her teeth while she fisted her hands. Revealing their marriage just made things worse. She will be seen as someone who ruined a relationship. A woman who stole someone's fiancée. If she only knew that Tyler's girlfriend was a famous ballerina she would have a second thought on marrying him for protection and revenge.She was sure that she could find another way to exact vengeance and be out of danger. She reprimanded herself for being impulsive when she sensed danger. "I don't need it, I just need you to keep quiet at that time," Ja
Tyler didn't talk to her when they were eating and Jade was unwilling to talk either. So the only noise in the dining room was the intermittent soft clinking of cutleries. When they were about to go to bed, Jade could not stand the deafening silence and decided to talk. "What is the progress of the mission?" She asked about it as that was their only common ground. "Plans completed and implementation will be the day after tomorrow," Tyler replied as he sat at the edge of the bed. "Do you have a target date to crush the rebellion?" Jade needs to know it because her freedom is connected to this mission. "Five to six months," he frowned and asked, "Why are you asking?" "When everything is over, both of us will regain our freedom," Jade's cheerful tone unknowingly irritated Tyler. Tyler stood up and strode to the balcony. He stared at nothing. Jade shrugged her shoulders. Only a few months from now, she wouldn't be seeing his mood swings. Jade slid under the covers. Few seconds af
In a flash, time flew by and it was time to clock out when Jade received a text message from Luke and replied to his message. Soon after she sent her reply, her phone beeped, notifying her of the received text message. [I'll wait for you to come home. Be home at 9pm. Hubby] "Control freak," Jade muttered under her breath. Despite being annoyed at his message, Jade didn't forget to register his name on her phonebook. At exactly 7 in the evening, Jade was already in the restaurant. She was ushered by a receptionist to a private room. Luke was dashing in his three piece charcoal custom tailored suit. Remembering those gentle hazel green eyes gazing at her with such tenderness when she was a young girl, her eyes lit up and warmth flooded her heart. Her Luke hadn't changed. He was still as gentle as he used to be. Luke drew a chair for her and mouthed "Thank you" before taking her seat. During their conversation, Jade secretly wished that he would mention about the orphanage but
The following morning, Tyler rose from the bed not after he had stared at the woman sleeping in his arms. For years, Tyler thought that he had psychological problems as he never ever felt the urge to kiss a woman or do anything intimately with a woman. Sophia always whines whenever he refuses to kiss her. He always avoided Sophia’s advances. She suggested that they would do what adults do but Tyler could not even bring himself to think about it. However, this woman in his arms whom he barely knew evokes something in him that he never felt before. Tyler frowned. He had to stop it while it was still early. He had made a promise to Sophia and he had to keep that promise. He was not a man who breaks his promises. At that point, when he thought about his promise to Sophia, Tyler put a safe distance between him and Jade. Each time he would come home, he rarely looked at Jade and did not hold her to sleep but resorted to taking sleeping pills so he could sleep. One day, Wilbur came ba
Luke remained silent and chose not to make things harder for Jade. "Can we go now, it's getting late and I'm famished," Jade sounded coquettish. She was left with no choice to make the tense atmosphere relax, hence, she resorted speaking to him in such a coquettish manner in hope to pour cold water over Tyler's burning anger. At the restaurant, Tyler had been attentive towards Jade the whole time. He would put food on Jade’s plate, pour water in her glass and sometimes would wipe the corner of Jade’s mouth even if there was nothing to wipe. Jade’s cheeks were suffused with color the entire time Tyler devoted his time attending to her needs. All the time that Tyler was trying to rile up Luke, he kept his cool and didn’t want to misbehave in front of Jade. "I'm fine, Tyler. You haven't touched your food, you should eat now," Jade held Tyler's arm when he was about to put more food on her plate. "If you're so worried about me then, feed me," Tyler responded, making Jade's beautiful
Tyler missed her soft and supple lips so much, he had been struggling to keep himself from kissing it again. He made up his mind to never taste her lips again until the day they divorce. However, seeing her with Luke changed his mind. They are legally married and there's nothing wrong with kissing his wife. By her sloppy kisses and trembling hands, Tyler knew that his wife is a virgin as well. A delectable smile appeared in his lips upon discovering that he was the first man in her life.He was extremely gentle toward her knowing that it was her first time as well. Though it was his first time to make love. He heard his comrades talk about how to deflower a woman so he wasn't clueless what to do. "Tyler," Jade cried at the searing pain she felt. Despite him being gentle, she didn't escape the pain as he entered. "Jade," Tyler groaned, his lips wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. The veins on Tyler's forehead protrude as he fought control of his raging desire as pleasure
Soon after they entered the bedroom and the door was shut, the room was filled with chaotic sound that would make the listener blush. Thankfully, the room was soundproof so the four corners of the room absorbed all the noises. "Take a rest today and don't go out. I might be coming home tonight," Tyler didn't continue what he was supposed to say leaving the rest unsaid and gave Jade a suggestive grin. "Don't come home," Jade was too tired and couldn't imagine doing it again tonight. Tyler chuckled heartily and went straight to the bathroom. Jade was sound asleep when he was ready to go to work. He sat at the side of the bed and spent a few seconds staring at her beautiful face before he left but not before he planted a kiss on her forehead. Jade groaned. "Go away!" Tyler chuckled. It was already noon when Jade woke up. No one disturbed her sleep as Tyler instructed Gregory that no one was allowed to wake Jade up except for emergencies. Due to the intensity of their love makin
"Sophia, I told you, I am too busy to visit you. I can't be out of the country this time…" Tyler answered her in a gentle tone. Sophia was throwing tantrums that it's been too long since they last saw each other. She was agitated and restless at the thought that Tyler was already married. Jealousy was driving her crazy. And was tempted to breach the contract and just go back to Austria. Back into Tyler's arms. "Tyler, have you fallen in love with her?" Sophia couldn't not hold back her insecurity to show up. "That's nonsense," he sneered. "Let's not talk about her. Okay?" Tyler cooed to coax her. "I miss you, Tyler," Sophia purred at the other end of the line. "I can't wait to be married to you. Seven months from now, I will be yours and you'll be mine. And no one can separate us." "Where are you now?" Tyler asked as he heard something from the background. "My colleagues came for an overnight stay in my apartment," Sophia replied and then looked at her colleagues who were hav
