His face was hard as a flint. With a voice that held much restrained power he answered. "No!" Jade sobbed as her frustration increased. "Why can't you understand that this marriage was a mistake to begin with and it's bound for destruction." "It wasn't a mistake, we are destined," Tyler refuted with much conviction. Not wanting to agitate her more, despite wanting to comfort her, he smothered his desire to wrap her in his arms.Jade couldn't hold back and laughed like a lunatic. "You believe in destiny but I don't!" Perhaps, destiny is true but Tyler and her weren't destined to be. It was him and Sophia who were destined to be. "Whether you believe it or not, you and I will stay together. And if you run away, I will find you in whichever corner of the world you run to," Tyler left as soon as he delivered his thoughts. Two days later, the physician gave a go for Jade to go home to recover. "Dr. Leitner, whatever you're going through, pull yourself together as there are many live
At that moment, Tyler's mind seemed to malfunction as he didn't know what to do. Still in daze, Jade smiled, making Tyler's heart leap. He bent down to capture her lips. Jade responded and buried her face in his neck when she pulled out. "Jade," he whispered with a husky voice but Jade had no response. He settled her on the bed, only to find out that the woman who earnestly kissed him was sleeping. Doubt filled his heart that she was just pretending to be sleeping. Hence, he called out once again while he gently patted her face. "Jade." Jade opened her eyes and sat up. "You're here!" She looked at her side. "Where's Tim?" At that, Tyler discovered that she responded to him while asleep. All at once, the happiness brought by her fervent response to his kiss banished. Dejection slowly crept in when he thought further. Perhaps she was dreaming about Luke at the time she kissed him back. "Hey, where is Tim?" Jade repeated when she got no answer from him. "He's in his room," Tyl
The woman who held his heart was forcing herself to touch him. Tyler didn't notice the tears sliding down as he tried to bear the pain of being repulsed by his beloved. Tears trickled down his face, melting her bloody cold heart. The repugnance she felt vanished. Her hands were still trembling but no longer of disgust but compassion for the man crying before her. "Tyler," she whispered while she dried his tears using the pad of her thumb. "I'm sorry," Tyler said as he looked at her with all his tenderness. Without a word Jade accepted his apology and felt something heavy lifted from her. "Could you rest your hand on my hand?" Jade shyly asked. She felt like they were back to the old times. Tyler gladly granted her request and put his hand over her hand. Unblinkingly, Tyler fixed his gaze upon her to observe how she would respond to his touch. Expecting the aversion for his touch, he was surprised to see that she was shy just like before. All he could see was a blushing face, j
Tyler and Wibur's eyes met but they looked away immediately. "No, but thanks, madam." Wilbur said, wearing a slight smirk on his face. He knew his former boss had always been possessive when it concerns Jade. Creating trouble for Jade wasn't in his vocabulary. He had loved her as his own sister as she had treated him like a family. Jade raised her eyebrows and looked at Wilbur with a questioning look. "I'm not hungry yet," he immediately turned and left. Wilbur didn't tell her the truth that he was starving. An hour later, Tyler and Jade were in the car as they were headed to the hospital as Jade was on a morning shif
It was a tiring day for Jade as she performed a major heart surgery. As a result, after five minutes of being swayed in the car while traveling, Jade felt drowsy and drifted to sleep.Gentle smile bloomed on Tyler's handsome face while he gathered the sleeping woman into his arms.The driver was about to inform them of their arrival to the mansion but swallowed his word back when he saw Tyler place his forefinger over his lips, beckoning him to be quiet.With a smile, the driver nodded in recognition of the order. At once the driver went to open the door of the rear passenger seat.Carefully, Tyler lifted her in his arms and avoided waking her up. However, Jade stirred.&n
No matter how uneasy he felt that Luke had a great contribution to Timothy's life, Tyler didn't show it. Considering that he had just gotten back with Jade, he knew better than to agitate Jade. She had given him another chance and he was unwilling to blow it away. "Are you done?" He asked when Jade put down the hair brush on the dresser. He ran his fingers down her soft hair. Jade looked at him through the mirror. She blinked twice as she was having doubts and that her eyes were just deceiving her.Tyler was staring at her with so much tenderness held on those hazel eyes of his. The tenderness on his face took away the last bit of hesitation in her heart. Never in her wildest dream that she would witness this tender side of Tyler. Although she felt secure whenever she was in his arms, she didn't see him wear such a tender and loving face. Moreover, not once did she see him look at her lovingly. All of a sudden, she was lifted from the bench while she was in a daze. "Ahhh," sh
He was in a dilemma, as hurt was all over Jade's face seeing him hugged by another woman but he can't be heartless to Sophia as she's the mother of his son. She's in distress because of their son and can’t push Sophia away.Couldn't stand the sight for another second, Jade came into the emergency room not giving them another glance.She looked into the patient lying. It was Tyler's son, the thorn between their marriage. The product of his unfaithfulness.She didn't want to see the child's face as he reminded her of the betrayal.Nevertheless, being a surgeon she has to save a patient regardless who it was."What's the res
She thought that after four years of being away from him, she was strong enough to protect herself from him.What a pathetic woman she is. She might be considered a genius in the field of medicine but she can't control her heart.After all that he had done to her, her pathetic heart would still choose to love him.Criticism would be the reaction of the readers if her story would be written in a novelSurely, they will scold her for being weak. But what could she do? She's helplessly and insanely in love with a man who knows nothing but to offer her sweets but soon takes it back."Why do you keep on hurting me? Is it not enough that y
"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
