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
A wave of panic swept over Jade. Wine was banned in this house as Colton had gastritis. She couldn't have physical intimacy with Tyler while she was sober. She had to think of a way to stop him. She scurried to Colton's room and took out the sleeping pills from the drawer. She ate three sleeping pills. Then came back to her room. Hastily, she came into the walk-in cabinet and took a t- shirt for him and placed them on the chair near the bed. Without missing a bit she slipped under the covers and closed her eyes. Tyler chuckled as soon as he saw her sleeping. "Escaping from me, wife? Try all you can but you can't outsmart me," he stripped his robe and dove into the bed. Tyler tried to wake her up by nibbling her lips but there was not a single response from her nor did she stir. Once again, he bit her lower lip a little hard but she didn't react. "Jade, Jade, love wake up," he patted her face but she hadn't woken up. Tyler recollected her vomiting episode. He jumped from the b
Bowing her head and looking at her toes, Jade replied. "What are you going to do if I told you, I hated you with all my heart?"Her answer was like a punch at his chest making him hard to breathe. A moment of silence spread across the room beforeTyler said, "Tell me what to do to erase your hatred." "A clever man does not need someone to tell what he needed to do," Jade answered softly, rendering Tyler speechless. The sound of the door latching to the door jamb told Jade that she's alone in the room. Still feeling lethargic, Jade went back to the bed. She stared at the white ceiling, lapsing into a gloomy self -absorption and lost track of time. A knock on the door brought back Jade from her musing. "Come in," she assented and sat up. "Mom," Jade said in a chirpy manner when Cecilia's figure emerged from outside. "How are you? Tyler called me and asked me to look after you," Cecilia said while she drew near to Jade. Two servants came in to bring food and clothes for Jade. "T
"Mommy, we are going to an amusement park," Tim bubbled over, his hazel eyes, like that of Tyler were twinkling in excitement Jade shifted her gaze from her high spirited son to the man sitting next to her quietly. Bedazzling pairs of hazel green eyes met her enchanting blue ones. Instinctively Luke knew she was asking for an explanation and didn't wait for her to talk. "He said he wanted to spend time with you as you haven't spent much time with him lately." Guilt pang spread across her chest. Truly she hadn't spent much time with her son for the past few days.Jade cupped her son's face and kissed his forehead dotingly. "Let mommy make it up to you." Jade stood to get her bag and they left for the amusement park. As they were happily walking after a fun filled ride, they crossed paths with the people Jade didn't want to see. Tyler with Jason in his arms while his chin rested on Tyler's broad shoulders and Sophia whose hands clung to Tyler's arm. The sight brought an immense p
Each passing moment that there was no response from Jade, his heartbeat escalated. He kicked the door numerous times but it was not a low quality door that could be kicked open. He decided to look for a spare key and without thinking what people would think about him he shouted for Wilbur. Tyler's booming voice reverberated in the whole house waking everyone else. "Sir, what's the matter?" Wilbur said as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Spare key on Jade's bathroom," Tyler yelled. The urgency in Tyler's voice woke up Wilbur. As Tyler ran back to Jade's room he saw Tim walking towards Jade room. "Go back to your room!" He said in a commanding tone. Tim, whose sleep was disturb because of all the noises, cried out loud, feeling aggrieved.Tyler felt helpless, he was torn between coaxing his son and going back to the room. "Tim," Pearl hugged Tim to pacify him and took him back to his room. Gregory, who just woken up by the commotion, sobered instantly when he heard Tyler was demand
Swallowing his anger was all Tyler could do as he watched the doctor leave.Afraid that a fight would break out if Luke followed Jade inside the hospital suite, Jared talked to Luke to stay in the corridor which the latter acquiesced. To Luke, Jade's welfare was his utmost priority so he didn't insist on coming inside her suite. Inside the hospital suite."Tyler, did you do anything to her before she slit her wrist?" Cecilia asked after a long silence. Tyler looked at Cecilia and then at Jared, in shame he lowered his head, unable to look at them. "I forced myself on her," Tyler replied, pure remorse laced his tone "Oh no," Cecilia felt sorry for Jade and somewhat angry with Tyler. "Mom, you have to tell brother so he won't do stupid things again," Jared knew about Jade's illness and to stop Tyler from doing any further damage to Jade he has to know Jade's mental condition. Tyler looked up. "What must I know about my wife?" Cecilia looked at Jade. With her eyes closed and lying
"It's your deep seated feeling for her that caused you to do it and don't tell me you didn't do it with her before we got married," Jade was already fuming at the end of interlocution. "You're the first woman I had physical intimacy with," Tyler's admission stunned Jade momentarily. However, scoff followed her surprise. Tyler sighed. "I know, no one would believe me that I reached 30 without any sexual activity when women practically threw themselves to me."It was the truth that women offered themselves to him but no one evoked a desire in him. Solely, Jade was the one who had activated his passion without even trying to seduce him. "You're together with Sophia now, why don't you just let me go?" Jade went back to the thorn between them. Although she was his first, he had been unfaithful to her during their marriage. "We aren't together," Tyler's answer gained a laugh from Jade. Tyler fixedly looked at her laughing face that is now more alluring than ever. "A man and a woman
It sounded like she's a selfish and cruel woman that she targeted an innocent boy. However, Jason's existence was like a thorn in her heart, a constant reminder of her husband's infidelity. Intently, she watched his reaction like a hawk. Bowing his head, Tyler looked at the floor with set jaw and clenched fists. His chest rising up and falling down like waves due to heavy breathing.His reaction didn't go unnoticed to her keen eyes. Her heart felt as though being stung by hundreds of bees at the sight of Tyler. "You're in a dilemma, isn't it?" Tyler raised his head and saw her lips curled up in a smile but her eyes spoke a different story. "I know you love your and Sophia's son." Tyler was tongue tied and couldn't utter a single word. "Please, let me go. Tim and I won't appear before you so you can go back to your normal life," Jade said, reconsidering her decision on giving Tyler another chance because she desired to give Timothy a complete family. One thing, however, she didn
"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
