Jade buried herself entirely underneath the covers, avoiding the sight of Tyler. The lights were switched off leaving a few lights on in the corners. Making the room cozier and romantic. The bed sloped downward as Tyler lay beside her. Jade was bracing herself for what was about to come. She thought about her brother's predicament if she pissed off Tyler. Her palm wetter by the second. She cringed when she was being caged in his embrace. "Tyler, I'm so tired," she said using a pleading tone. She was experimenting with what would be the best way to make him agree. "I know… I just wanted to hug you to sleep," Tyler's insomnia came back when Jade left. "Let's sleep now," he planted a kiss on top of her head. They were drifting to sleep when all of the sudden Tyler's phone went off. Tyler hissed and picked up his phone. "Hello," he spoke coldly. "When are you coming home, honey?" Sophia's voice sounded at the other end of the line. "I'm not," he replied curtly. "Jason is sick, he
Jade blanched at the news of Tyler's arrival. Her knees knocked. Upon hearing the footsteps, Jade and Pearl looked at each other unable to think straight. "Jade," Tyler's tall figure emerged into the room. In the nick of time, Jade was able to hide Tim's face from Tyler. Her heart raced inside her chest, her blue eyes dilated in trepidation. "May I see the little boy behind you," Tyler's request shocked everyone in the dining room. Jade almost choked but was quick to make up an excuse. "Oh, he is a shy boy and isn't outgoing." Truthfully, Timothy was anything but shy. He was an extremely friendly and outgoing boy.Everyone in the dining room secretly sighed that Jade was able to make up an excuse quickly given that they were unprepared for Tyler's appearance. Jade came near to Tyler but was still obstructing his view, so he wouldn't see Tim. Pearl was quick to act and hugged Tim. Pearl was relieved as Tim cooperated and buried his face in Pearl's tummy, successfully concealing
Instead of being touched for giving her permission to go and see Timothy before heading home, Jade felt embittered. She was willing to give her company to him plus some of her assets to compensate him just to let go of Colton but used it to force her to be with him. Timothy was the most affected in this set up. Leaving Germany and coming back to Austria were the biggest mistakes she ever made. Should she have listened to Colton and stayed in Germany with him, Colton wouldn't have known her relationship with Tyler. Shutting her eyes, Jade leaned her head on the window. She was unaware when they arrived at her mansion as she was in deep thought while her eyes were closed. The driver was hesitating to tell her that they'd already reached the mansion. Jade felt that the car wasn't moving and opened her eyes. She looked at the surroundings and found that they were in her estate. "Oh, we're already here," Jade commented, making the driver rub the back of his head awkwardly. Jade ope
Tyler looked at Jade who stood frozen on her spot. Then his gaze shifted to the boy laying on the bed. Jade followed his line of sight, he was looking at Timothy who had his back at them.She was relieved that Timothy rolled on his side with his back facing the door, but, nervous at the same time. What if one day he would see Timothy's face?Tyler would be a dumb person if he couldn't see that Timothy was his son with just one look. He was the spitting image of Tyler. "Let's go," she pulled Tyler towards the door. She couldn't let him stay for another second. Timothy might turn over and expose his face. Tyler gave another look at the child on the bed. The following day, Timothy got bored playing alone. After Pearl had gained permission from Jade, she took Timothy to an indoor playground so he could interact with some children. Timothy was so delighted that he saw many children around his age. "Hi, I am Timothy," he introduced himself to a child who was playing alone. The child l
"I missed you," she purred, Tyler unwound her arms that snaked his waist and then turned to face her. "Do you need anything?" Tyler said with a gentle tone.Everytime she said she missed him Tyler would buy something for her. The last time she said she missed him, he bought a red Ferrari sports car for her. "You're all I need, Tyler," Sophia hugged him tightly as if he was his lifeline. "I have to go. I'll send money in your account," he pulled away from her and left without giving her a back glance. At 10 in the evening, Tyler arrived at the old mansion. He came to know from Simeon that Jade had arrived thirty minutes ago. "Didn't you go to your son?" Tyler said as he loosened his tie. "I did. He slept early today so I was able to leave early," Jade said monotonously. Her eyes were as dull as her voice. "Why don't you take him here to live with us?" Tyler removed his shirt revealing his athletic figure, Jade blue eyes grew wide, not because of his alluring body but because of
If she could only stop the earth from rotating and make the sun stand still, she would do it. Unfortunately, she had no power to do it. So, the sun set and evening came. Jade was on tenterhooks as Tyler intended to have intimacy with her tonight. She grabbed a bottle of wine and glass, and brought it to their bedroom. Intimacy was inevitable for a married couple, she couldn't escape from it forever. She'd rather make way for this horrible thing to pass without remembering it the next day. Wine was her ally and helper to get through this ordeal. Just the thought of those hands, lips and his member being used to pleasure another woman makes her want to throw up. She grimaced when she made the first sip of the wine. She never drank alcohol before. "Eeww!," she wondered why many were addicted to alcohol when it tasted horrible. She never thought that one day she would resort to drinking alcohol. If Tyler wanted to make love to her every night that would mean she would drink every
In a bad mood, Jade wanted to cool off first before seeing her son. She didn't want him to feel her foul mood. Hence, she went shopping to buy him clothes and toys. Meanwhile, Tyler received a call from General Max. "Do you even regard me as your cousin and friend?" Max said annoyingly. "Hey, hey, what's all this drama?" Tyler chuckled. Since he left the military, Tyler and Max conversation weren't of a superior - subordinate type. "You haven't told me that you have a son with Jade Leitner," Max sounded hurt. He and Tyler were close friends but he wasn't told that Jade gave birth to Tyler's son. "What are you talking about? We don't have a child together," Tyler frowned, creating creases on his forehead. "What do you mean you don't have a child with her? I overheard her a while ago telling a woman that Luke wasn't his father and she hadn't conceived her son out of wedlock," Max was confused why didn't Tyler know about his son. Max knew that the divorce certificate was fake and t
For the first time, Jade saw her son threw a tantrum. Tim was a boy who was easy to persuade but this time no matter how hard she convinced him, he stubbornly rejected Tyler. In the end, Tyler left the mother and son, and went back to the company. Tyler went to a shopping mall and bought toys for Tim after his meeting. Quickly, as soon as the car came to a full stop, Tyler got out of the car with the toys he bought for his son. Since Tyler bought whatever the sales person told him to be popular with kids at the time the driver had to follow him inside the mansion, carrying many bags filled with toys. If his cousin General Max hadn't overheard Jade, he would have no idea that he had a son with Jade. She asked him the night before his departure to New York. What would have happened if he realized earlier that he loved her from the beginning?Leaving him would never come across her vocabulary. Three whole years, no, four whole years. He wasn't there by Jade's side. A lugubrious lo
