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
For a while Tyler kept mum, but when he reached his limit he opened his mouth to speak. "It was so kind of you to bring my son here, Mr. Schneider," Tyler wanted Luke to know his place. With Tim's high IQ he understood the meaning of Tyler's remark. Indignantly, he stood up from Jade's lap and hugged Luke who was standing beside the hospital bed. Silently, he refuted his own father's declaration. To Tim he was just the donor to ovulate an egg to form a baby. But, in his heart, Luke was his real father. A palpable sense of loss shrouded Jade. It wasn't Jade's intention for the father and son to have bad blood between them.Lost for words, Jade looked at her hands and fiddled her fingers. Tyler sensed the discomfort of Jade but couldn't think of a way of alleviating it.Without knocking, Cecilia entered the room with Jared. "Timmy," joyfully, Jared's voice sounded. Tim turned his head with a smile. They hadn't seen each other after Tyler came to know that Jade was back in Austri
Sensing that Tim was uncomfortable with his touch, Tyler retracted his hand and thrust his hand on his pocket. He couldn't blame his son for being aloof. "Go to daddy," Jade said, she can't just do nothing to ease tension. She just wanted her son to know and feel how it is to be with his father. Even if everything turned sour for her and Tyler, Jade didn't want Tim to hate his father. Tyler pulled his hand from his pocket and picked Tim, carrying him in his arms. Tim reflexively grabbed Tyler's neck. Joy saturated Tyler's heart when Tim didn't refuse being held by him. Temporarily forgetting that Jade repulsed his touch, Tyler bent over to kiss Jade on her cheek. Surprisingly, Jade didn't repulse his kiss. "Kiss your mom before we leave," Tyler said, still bent over so Tim could give Jade a peck on her cheek. Later, after Cecilia and Jared left, Jade dozed off after thinking so much. A touch on her wrist that had been slit stirred her up. She squinted before she fully opene
Two servants who heard Sophia went to look what had happened to the mistress of the house. "What are you doing here?" Sophia looked at them with bloodshot eyes. She picked up the vase near her and threw it, aiming at the servants. To dodge the flying vase towards their direction the servants ducked on the couch, successfully avoiding being hit. Soon, a crashing sound ensued. The moment she saw the picture of Jason and Timothy, she had a feeling that the boy with Jayson was Tyler's son. One thing that she was sure of was that Jade is the boy's mother for Tyler had no other woman besides Jade. "You have snatched him away from me. I would be dumb to allow you to take him away from me the second time," Sophia said with so much hatred. She had used dirty tricks to break apart Tyler and Jade. Again, this time, she had no qualms using dirty tricks to have what she wanted. Back in Jade's mansion, Tyler and Tim arrived. "Da…," Tim vacillated between calling him dad or not.Tyler's h
"Jason is in the hospital!" Sophia frantically said, pacing back and forth along the hospital corridor. Tyler sprang from his seat at once and left the room forgetting to say goodbye to Jade. Gloom shrouded Jade while she stared at the back of the man who claimed to love her but forgot her existence the moment he heard Sophia's voice. Only a fool would believe such a claim. And she refused to belong to the category of women who had been fooled by sugar coated words. Jason was brought to the same hospital where Jade was admitted. So he ran towards the emergency room.When he arrived in front of the emergency room, Sophia threw herself to him. Feeling her trembling body, Tyler hugged Sophia to support her and stop her from collapsing. Sophia looked up at him wearing a pitiful look. She knew that Tyler is a compassionate man hidden under his cold facade. "Tyler, our son," she let her tears stream down continuously as she looked at him. Sophia achieved her goal to melt him as Tyle
"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
