Jade

When I woke up the following morning, my laptop was sitting on the table, and there were papers scattered all over the table as well as the floor. I let out a sigh. Lee was a clean freak; her room was spotless. Why on earth would she leave my room in such a chaotic state?

I leaped off the bed and dashed into the bathroom, where I attended to my business before emerging to clean up the mess that Lee had made. When I went to pick up the papers, I noticed that there were some notes stuck to my wall as well. Shit, did she even sleep at all? After that, I looked at the notes.

    ~Jade~What just happened? I quickly told the driver to take me to Lee’s place. I wanted to share the magical thing that just happened between me and Mr. Lombardi, but there is this lingering question that I still have. How did Lee know all these things? How did she know that Mr. Lombardi wouldn’t get mad if I hugged him, and did he hug me back? Oh, good Lord, I must be dreaming. My ride arrived at Lee’s place. I didn’t tell her I was coming, but who cared? I am already here. I rang the bell, and Joan answered the door. The lady hates my guts; she thinks I’m into Lee.“Seems like we will be having a threesome.” She yelled, letting Lee know I was around, but since she hated me, well, I might as well give her more reasons to hate me; why should I care what she thinks? Lee is my friend.“Oh, if only you could handle Lee as I do,” I said, and her jaw clenched. When someone hates you, why pretend? Give them the same treatment. I will never pretend around her; the treatment is actually mutu

    Salvatore I sat at the damn ball and watched as the so-called she-wolves tried to dance their way into Dark’s heart. Except for one thing. Dark doesn’t have a heart. One thing that my brother does not realize is that even if he can fuck these she-wolves, none of them can satisfy the beast inside of him. Dark is ruthless; he doesn’t care about anyone but himself; he kills for fun, and he might end up killing his mate and regretting it later. My brother wasn’t always like this; he used to be kind, but his family betrayed him. Dark is Dark, and he always gets what he wants except for this time, when he can’t take a chosen mate, but he doesn’t know that yet. Well, maybe he does know; he’s just being ignorant. My sister and I have been trying to help him, but my brother trusts no one, not even family. To be honest, I can’t say that I blame him. My parents made several attempts to kill him. These were the people who were supposed to protect him with their lives, but they tried to kill him

    Jade While I was standing in my window, I got a good look at the early morning fog as it rolled over the hills. “The clouds are getting ready to release their moisture,” I said to no one specific but myself. I carried on sipping my coffee while staring off into the distance. I am running out of time. The other day, I fell short of Dark’s expectations; he hasn’t called, and I am getting dangerously low on cash. Mr. Lombardi is nowhere to be found. I’ve been working at Rosto for a good two weeks, and I’ve never seen him. Every one of my efforts was for naught. I let out a sigh and glanced at the clock. Oh shit, I’m running late. I snatched my bag and dashed out of the house as quickly as I could. I don’t have the luxury of taking a taxi to work, so I walk there every day instead. From my place to Rosto is a good ass-kicking 30-minute walk. As I flew over the sidewalk, I drawled an expletive as a drizzle started to fall. On the wet concrete, my shoes, which were worn smooth from walk

    KateDid I do well? Like hell I did. She is just a kid, and she needs to fuck off, but then there is this look of regret I sensed coming from Domenico. Could it be that there was something going on between him and Jade?Nah, there ain’t no way they did it that night.Even if they did, I would make sure to do better than Jade. But then again, why do I feel like I'm being played in this situation? Is it possible that Domenico has developed feelings for Jade?“Umm, Mr. Lombardi, do you know the girl who just left? She seems to be interested in you.”“Is she?” He stated this while continuing to eat and sip from the beverage he was holding, demonstrating that he had no interest in the topic at hand.“Yes, for a moment I thought she might be your girlfriend.” I know, I might have gone overboard, but I need to know they never slept.“Could she now?” If I kept pressing him, he might just leave like he did the other day, but then I wouldn’t know whether Jade was a threat to me. This man is dif

    DomenicoEven a strong woman like Kate can be shaken to her core by that tiny thing. Am I making a mistake or what? Why does Kate feel like she needs to defend herself against a young girl who just so happened to spill a tray of drinks? She feels threatened, but why? Jade is just a little thing with no back and front.That little thing is somehow not afraid of me or Kate, but what’s the deal between her and Kate?When Kate mentioned that she needed to use the restroom, I immediately realized that her request was about more than just using the restroom. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. I sat there wondering if she had somehow started having some wonder-working powers because the little girl that walked into my office and the girl I am seeing right now are different. A scared little kitten walked into my office, and right now all I am seeing is confidence and daring seduction, as though she knows I can’t be without her. Can I, now? Nah, I can choose a mate, mark her, and

    Domenico I was fuming by the time I reached my office. I am annoyed at how Jade seems to control my life. The little thing seemed to make everyone quiver in her presence. Where did she get that power from? She exudes an air of dominance and is completely fearless. It’s like that little girl consumes me. Damn, was she daring? She was, without even trying or saying a word to me. Me, her mate. It’s as if she knows we are destined. Sometimes I feel like I have attracted trouble ever since I came in contact with Jade. I fucking have a she-wolf I blankly promise to mark back home, but I can’t seem to find her appealing. I can’t stand being in the same room as her because of how she smells. I’ll start with Kate, who, for some inexplicable reason, seems to be mimicking Jade in everything she does. How the fuck am I supposed to love Kate when all I think of is Jade? Jade, Jade, Jade! I threw open my office door, surprising my bodyguards. They have never seen me hold a thing for myself ex

    JadeI pulled my father’s car into the parking spot, relieved to find an empty space so close to the building. It was impossible for me to park the car in the lot provided by the company because the car always needed a push to start the engine. My life stinks; hence, I would do anything to better my family. I was my family’s hope, but Kate took that away from them. Even though it was still early in the morning, the temperature had already reached an intolerable level. A long walk to Blackwood Corporation would make me look like a melted ice cube by the time I entered the firm, making Mr. Lombardi tell me I wasn’t good enough again. I still don’t get it. The man told me I wasn’t worthy, but he still called me back to the same position I wasn’t worthy of having in the first place. Didn’t he think I would wear the same clothes that made me look unworthy to stand before him? Or did he believe that I had become wealthy in the past few weeks? That man confuses the shit out of me.I heaved

    WargBeasts have needs. Even a monstrous creature such as myself, whose skin is made of iron, whose body cannot be penetrated, whose teeth are spears, and whose claws are hurricanes, still has needs to be fulfilled. I am a dangerous weapon that wanders the earth with needs, needs that can be satisfied by no one but my mate. However, the human side of me is unable to comprehend that, which is why I have taken control of the human me. He is always trying to distance himself from my little fated, but I can’t take any more of this shitshow. I’ve had enough. I made him hire my little Jade. Since the idiot enjoyed the coffee that my little fated one had made for him, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to hire her to work for us at home as well. I have been watching this Lexi woman from afar, and every time she seems to be ordering my little mate around. So I gave her a reason to collapse, but my little Jade caught her before the anticipated fall. She should have let the bitch

    DomenicoThe chandeliers cast a golden glow over the room, turning every glass, plate, and fork into instruments of light, casting prismatic shadows over my brooding form—shadows that seemed to mock the turmoil twisting inside me. The golden hue of the restaurant's walls was supposed to provide a comforting embrace, yet tonight, it felt as if they were closing in, suffocating me with the scent of gourmet dishes and the murmur of contented diners. I sat there, an island of discontent amidst a sea of luxury, flanked by my ever-watchful bodyguards who stood like silent sentinels."Sir," one of them murmured, his voice barely breaking the hum of conversation around us, "will you need anything while you wait?" As if I were waiting for anything meaningful, but nah! My own doom!I glanced up from my clenched fists, knuckles turned white, the fine lines of my suit doing nothing to dispel the disarray of my spirit. "No," I replied, my voice a soft growl that belied the tempest within. "just...

    DomenicoI really can’t stand Gail. Women these days are clever. Can't she fucking see that I don’t want her around? Women are clever these days; they don’t stay where they are not wanted, but this mosquito won’t leave me the fuck alone. I know to her it’s never about love; it’s about power. She and her excuse of a father want power and protection because I am the fucking king. But one thing I will never give Gail is my attention. Mother, no matter how hard I try to be a loving fiancé, as humans call it, I just can’t fucking love that mutt.I pull out my phone with the intention of calling Kate, but my fingers have other plans for me. I found myself calling Juicy J. I clung to the phone as it rang, and as I was about to hang up, a beautiful voice almost sounded like one belonging to my little mate answered. If I didn’t know better, I’d say Juicy J was my little Jade, but that little girl is far too innocent to talk dirty like Juicy J.Maybe, just maybe, I need to meet Juicy J and then

    Domenico"Oh, baby, you seem so tired; let me give you a massage.” The words slithered from her lips, coated in the syrupy tone of feigned concern. The falseness of it swirled around me like a nauseating perfume. "You are working too hard, Dom.”As the word 'Dom' rolled off Gail's tongue, it was as if she drew it from a well of insincerity, each syllable dripping with the saccharine sweetness of artificiality. The sound of my name in her voice was like a poorly played melody, grating against the walls of my consciousness. However, when another person—a particular young woman whose image flickered like a candle flame in the back of my mind—whispered that name, it resonated with a symphony of desire and possession."Dom," she would say, and oh, how differently it sounded. There was a purity to it, an innocence laced with the promise of something primal. It stirred within me a beast that lay dormant, biding its time beneath layers of control and denial.“At least you are now starting to

    DomenicoThe moment I crossed the threshold, Gail's voice slithered through the air like a serpent draped in velvet, each word dripping with the saccharine sweetness of fake. "Honey, I made pasta for supper," she cooed, her syllables curling into my ears with the subtlety of a sledgehammer to crystal. A voice so fake that even the dumbest child could see through.With a dismissive grunt, I shrugged off the weight of her words along with the tailored suit jacket that clung to my broad shoulders; it fell to the floor in a heap of expensive fabric and unspoken disdain. I didn't give Gail the satisfaction of my attention, didn't let her see the flicker of irritation that danced behind my eyes—because if I did, if I allowed myself to truly acknowledge her presence, I would be compelled to send her away once more, to cast her out into the cold reality from which she desperately sought refuge. What I need is for her to leave me the fuck alone and return to her father’s house. Well, the probl

    JadeA sigh escaped my lips, heavy with the weight of unspoken thoughts, as I retreated into the bathroom. The room was dimly lit, suffused with a gentle glow that seemed to soften the edges of reality. My hand turned the faucet, releasing a cascade of warmth that filled the space with a comforting hiss. I stepped beneath the shower's embrace, letting the water envelop me in its liquid caress.“Fuck you!,” I murmured to the ghosts of memory that lingered at the periphery of my consciousness, insisting on their presence like unwelcome specters at a feast. As the warm droplets beat against my skin, each one felt like a tiny hammer, driving out the images and whispers of those who no longer held a place in my world. And yet, as much as I tried to banish them, one specter remained defiant, clinging to the recesses of my mind."Why now?" The question slipped from my lips, mingling with the steam rising in spirals around me. It wasn't just any him, it was him – the man whose very essence se

  • Taming Mr. Arrogant   Thinking about him

    JadeSunlight danced on the cerulean waves, a glittering symphony that played upon the infinite expanse of the ocean. The horizon stretched beyond the limits of sight, unfettered and wild from the vantage point of my new apartment, a sanctuary perched high above the world's mundane clamor. Life was undeniably sweeter here, each breath imbued with the briny zest of sea air, promising a day unshackled from yesterday's shadows.Yet, as I lay there, ensconced in the soft embrace of Egyptian cotton sheets that whispered against my skin like the gentlest of lovers' caresses, my mind drifted—unbidden—to Mr. Lombardi. The thought of him ignited a tempest within me, a maelstrom of desire and indignation that clashed with the tranquil morning. "How dare he call me unworthy," I murmured to the empty room, the words falling flat against the backdrop of rolling waves. His rejection stung, an incessant throb in my chest, but it was his craving, the way he devoured my pussy with such ravenous hunger

    JadeThe golden hues of the setting sun spilled across the polished hardwood floor of our new apartment, bathing it in a warm glow that should have felt welcoming. But the air held a strange tension, like the stillness before a storm. I zipped up the last of my suitcases, the fabric straining against the bulk of hastily folded clothes. A glance around confirmed the practical sterility of the place—impersonal yet oddly comforting with its ready-made homeliness. All we needed were our belongings, and I had just finished transferring mine into this anonymous space that would soon echo the patterns of our lives.Taking a breath to steady the fluttering in my chest—a curious mix of excitement and an unnamed dread—I crossed the threshold into Lee's room, the door creaking softly on its hinges as if reluctant to reveal its occupant's secrets. There she was, Lee, framed by the window, her silhouette etched against the canvas of a city we were yet to call home. Her eyes, those windows to a sou

    JadeThe salt-kissed breeze wafted through the open window, carrying with it the distant cries of seagulls and the relentless murmur of the ocean. I stood there, inhaling deeply, the briny air filling my lungs and cleansing away the acrid taste of past regrets. A fresh start—that's what danced on the horizon, shimmering like the sun-dappled surface of the sea before me. My life, up until this point, had been a relentless mire of chaos—a fool’s errand chasing after a love that turned out to be nothing more than a mirage orchestrated by a nut head whose name I now refused to let stain my thoughts. But here, at this moment, with the vast expanse of possibilities stretching out as far as the eye could see, I felt the tides within me begin to shift."Isn't it just perfect?" Lee's voice tinged with an uncharacteristic tremor of excitement, broke through my reverie. We were standing side by side, our reflections mingling in the glass panes that framed the perfect view."More than," I murmure
