Jenna never liked Armando from the onset. However, knowing that he was engaged to Amber, all she felt was pity for her former schoolmate. From the way Armando pestered her, she could tell that he wasn’t a one-woman man. Such a man would only give more pain than pleasure in the future.“No. I just saw him on his way to my boss’s office,” Jenna broke the awkwardness with her few words before checking a few more price tags, making her increasingly irritated. Why should these be so expensive?“Oh,” Amber was relieved. She thought something serious must have happened between them but she seemed to just be overthinking it.Armando knew his chances were ruined, now that Jenna knew he had a fiancé. He had to admit that he lost to Casper but he still wanted something with her. Anything. Even if it’s just friendship. “It’s nice to see you again, Jenna. That is your name right?” Armando stretched out his hand.Jenna didn’t accept his handshake and she hated the dirty look Amber kept giving her.
Casper had created a wonderful excuse to not meet with the Wreaths but he had time during the weekday to go shopping with that unfortunate girl. Grandpa had already connected the dots. That girl was messing with his grandson's mind and it was high time he stepped in to put him back on track. The person on the other side of the line was greatly startled. This wasn’t the right process. The two parties had to meet at least once to agree on the date of the engagement and the wedding. As the mother of the soon-to-be bride, she was a little hesitant about grandpa’s plan."I hope you have informed your grandson. He is the main character of the marriage. My daughter has been ready for four years now." By eighteen, the eldest daughter of the Wreaths was deemed ready for marriage but Casper was still undergoing training. Now, she was twenty-two."Leave my grandson to me. His marriage is my responsibility. Unless he wants to cut ties with the Blades, he has no right to refuse." This was grandpa’
Was he giving her hope? Jenna didn't want to have any hopes but he made it tough. The sincerity in his eyes and tone was too obvious. For whatever reason, she decided to grasp it. If it turned too hot for her, she would know what to do. "I trust you." Hearing those words, Casper’s hands moved the food from her lap to the side and pulled her closer. Lifting her skirt, he skimmed his hands inside it and pulled her lace pants down. Jenna was gushed with surprise by his action but her body won't lie that his strong hands crawling over her thighs and intimate parts felt good. With the table higher than the chair, his face was just inches from her vulva, as his gaze darkened with lust.“I want you,” he said in a hoarse tone and kissed the entrance of her private part. Jenna froze slightly, instantly recalling Drake and Eve. She suddenly felt uncomfortable. She wanted to close her legs but Casper was quick and held them in place with both hands. Her naked thighs were spread apart, right in
A week passed. Eve and Drake were still undergoing trial in court. Anna sought Casper's help to engage top officials to increase their prison terms. Hunter returned just a day before the departure to Italy, to prepare for the nine hours flight scheduled for Wednesday evening. With good planning, they could rest in the morning before the event began on Thursday evening. Hunter was exhausted because this investigation was more difficult than he thought. He couldn't find out much and rather brought back a mystery to be solved. Not knowing how Casper was going to take it, he became anxious."Mr Blade, I couldn't find out anything, I'm sorry." He lowered his head in front of Casper, who was sitting in front of him with an impassive expression."I trusted you." Disappointment laced his cold voice. Having something on grandpa, it would have been great for him to have something on the Wreaths too, which he could use to suppress their decision for him to go ahead with the marriage. This was
The guard, who looked like a bouncer, felt slightly intimidated, despite his huge form. He was usually the one who did the bullying but was being bullied today. Casper was younger than most of the Dons but it seemed he was the greatly feared one. Most likely, he indirectly ruled the Dons. Avoiding his piercing gaze, the guard lowered his hand which was still stiffened in mid-air, glad to not have completed his mission of pulling the woman away. The demon looked like he was going to rip out his throat. "There are no women allowed," he said politely. "She's an exception," Casper retorted coldly. The icy aura was enough to reduce the temperature to a freezing point. Even Jenna was uneasy when His personality switched.The guard was in a fix, reluctant to allow Jenna in. Just as he thought of asking his superiors, a deep voice rang behind them. "Seth, Mr Blade needs not to be offended, let him in." It was Mattia. He was looking at Jenna admiringly as he spoke but as to whether or not s
Casper arrived at the underground car park with Jenna. It seemed quiet when they made their way to the car given him by the Godfathers. There were lots of cars but just a few people around, who were making their way to the elevator, most probably to where Casper was coming out from. Three people in black, masked, came out from the direction of the stairs. Jenna didn't notice but Casper's attentive and sensitive senses caught them when they reached the car. He quickly shoved Jenna inside without explanation, startling her and making her convinced that Casper was acting weird. He saw the three men enter a car together, as his suspicious antennas activated. These men were either going to commit a crime or they were after him. He didn't drive off immediately but leaned against the passenger door where Jenna sat with unease. Five minutes passed and the masked men hadn't moved their car. Casper had confirmed that they were after him. If not, they would have driven out already. Just as he
"What happened? Caleb asked Cathan after he hung up. Cathan was as murky as a cloud of rain, making Caleb disturbed."He doesn't seem to need our services. From the looks of it, we will soon be jobless," Cathan voiced with a grim expression. The three of them used to be inseparable but it seemed that things had changed a lot since Jenna came into the picture. Casper spends every free time he gets with her. "That's Impossible. Our job is always secure." Caleb didn't know what was going on in Cathan's mind and responded with his understanding but when Cathan clarified, he was struck with a realization. "Well, we might be moved to guard somebody else if Casper continues to ignore us." There were other Blade seniors they could be transferred to but of course, Casper would still be assigned bodyguards whether he liked them or not. Caleb didn't agree totally and was about to respond when Hunter interrupted them. "Let's get this mess cleared guys, stop talking like women." He was a man of
Caleb had to think fast. He knew nothing about love and relationships. If he told Hunter that he lied, the raging man would fight him until somebody died, which would be another problem because if he killed Hunter, he would be in trouble with Casper and was certain that Hunter wouldn't match up to his level in a fight. Hunter was intelligent and strong but there is always somebody stronger than the other.“Thanks for giving me the chance. I’ll pursue her and make her fall in love with me.” Caleb was careful enough to not mention that he was in love with her this time. That way, he would have a means of escape. Thus, If Peggy didn't fall in love with him, then he was free. That was Caleb’s plan. But what if she fell in love with him? Judging from how the girl was crazy about Hunter, it was impossible. Hunter was satisfied that Caleb kept his word.“Good, and remember, I have never shared with anyone what I just shared with you.” There was a stern warning in his tone. He just gave his p
Think of the most beautiful flowers, the most expensive decor, this wedding was top notch and live broadcasted for everyone to see. It was the first time anyone except Jenna saw Casper smile. He walked through the aisle and waited for his bride at the altar. Did he ever stop wearing black? NO. But on this special day, he didn’t want to wear sunglasses so he had a special contact lens made to surprise Jenna because she was going to wear white. She still kept a secret but never did it reduce his love for her. Pregnancy could never be hidden when they were together.The auditorium was the most exquisite design from the best world acclaimed wedding planners. Casper couldn’t choose between Caleb and Cathan, appointing Hunter to be his best man. Caleb and Cathan took charge of the security of the event wholeheartedly. They weren’t offended by Casper’s decision. It was quite understandable.There were no groomsmen or bridesmaids. Casper saw them as a nuisance. Jenna had no objections because
Rex was eager to watch what was on the Pendrive because he wanted to know how grandpa died. Casper wasn’t ready to give any verbal explanation since he was anxious to go home and rest. He still had a lot to do so the earlier his body recovered, the better. The delay of the seniors while they contemplated on how to watch whatever was saved on the Pendrive annoyed him greatly, his countenance turned cold. He was about to speak when Rex noticed the change in his aura, quickly asking,“Can we go somewhere to talk about the amendment?”“No, my body needs rest.” His wounds were still fresh and though he felt minimal pain, he knew that stress would still affect the healing process. “Of course, you are still recovering. Let’s speak in my car then,” Rex suggested. Casper agreed.“Okay.” Then he turned to Jenna.“Please wait for me in the car.”Jenna didn’t argue and went to wait for him, while Casper entered Rex’s car, making himself comfortable in the passenger seat. Rex sat in the driver sea
The next morning, Casper woke up to the delicious aroma of French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, caramelised Bananas and a glass of warm milk. “Breakfast in bed,” Jenna was as bright as the morning sun and her smile was dazzling, melting the coldness of his heart. He smiled warmly.Jenna was amazed because this smile was a full blown one she had never seen before. She went ahead to ask him, since Casper kept admiring her and hadn’t spoken. “Good morning and how do you feel?” “This is the best day of my life,” Casper admitted, while he continued to stare with heavy emotions, into her grey eyes. Jenna let out a shy smile and said, “wrong, you might feel good but our best days are yet to come.” She was planning ways of making him the happiest man on earth. She picked the cutlery, pressing the fork to the egg and cutting through with the table knife. She lifted a piece of scrambled egg to Casper’s thin lips that parted to receive it. “Here, I’ll feed and give you your medication.”Casper
Soon, Hunter arrived with a doctor. He wasn’t a Blade Doctor because grandpa had sent his bodyguards to kidnap the Blade doctors living close by. His whole motive was directed at Casper not being able to survive the whole ordeal. The two love birds broke from the kiss at the intrusion. Jenna was slightly flustered at Hunter’s complicated gaze, which was contrary to his smile.“Jenna, you are here.”“Is it a compliment or reprimand?” Jenna smiled shyly and asked. She was the only woman around so it felt weird and the environment was new to her.“I’m just surprised to see you,” Hunter pursed his lips and said. He wanted to erase any suspicions that he had been spying on her.The doctor was about to attend to Casper when Hunter went to lock the door. Jenna, the doctor and Casper were all surprised but faintly understood when Cathan and Caleb drew closer, peeling off the fallen and lacerated skin from Casper like a Plaster.Casper winced but was most surprised when the fake skin was dump
As the days went by, Casper took a leave of absence from the office, and spent time with his son. They would play basketball together, visit the park, practice their fighting skills and even eat ice cream. However, he made sure to have dinner together with his son and Jenna, no matter how tired they were. As the subsequent days passed, Jenna only saw less of Casper because he never slept in his room. He would sneak into his son's room, sit on the small sofa and watch him sleep for hours till he dozed off. He would also ensure to sneak out before his son woke up. On the third day, Jenna was tired of it because she felt that Casper was avoiding her since she kept asking about what was decided on by the seniors. Casper was about to meet Caddaric in the gym when Jenna blocked his way. "Casp, what happened with the seniors?"Casper paused for a while, his eyes darkened slightly. "Nothing I can't handle. Rex will be coming for Caddaric in two days. There's a lot he has to learn,” Casper a
Casper saw his guests off. When he was about to return to his room, Hunter approached him. “I sent Denzel to Caleb.”Casper Could only assume that Hunter thought the Blade seniors were coming for his son, thereby letting Caleb come for him. However, there was one thing he didn't like. He spoke coldly. “His name is Caddaric Blade. Get him back.”“Okay,” Hunter said and turned to go back to the bodyguard's lounge, where he would put a call through to Caleb, when Casper asked behind him.“Can I ask you a question?” His tone was slightly softer than before.“Anything,” Hunter turned around and faced him.“Do you think that she loves me?” Casper asked hopefully. Hunter had a better experience with women. His advice also brought Jenna back. Whichever way, Hunter knew better than not to raise Casper’s hope or break it. Their relationship was the most complicated he had ever seen.“There is a way to find out but that would be after this ordeal is over.” Hunter wasn't going to respond with word
Grandpa had decided to stay away when Casper announced to get married to Donna. It was going to be a miserable marriage so grandpa was happy. The unfortunate girl loses after all. Unfortunately, another announcement was made by Donna and grandpa knew that it was because of the unfortunate girl because, he also heard that she attended the engagement party. Grandpa was displeased. Casper killed his son because of that girl and now, he wanted them to be married? Over his dead body would that happen. As soon as he heard the news, he sat in his jet after keeping his wife in a safe place, arriving just in time for the meeting to commence. This time around, he was going to break them apart with death. Not killing Jenna because that would only allow Casper to get revenge for her. He would kill Casper and take back everything. Grandpa was back to get revenge. He looked a little thinner and his long gray hair had been trimmed together with his beard. He wore a casual all-white shirt and trou
Casper was jumbled. Since when did Jenna become obsessed with him? He was granting her wish and yet, she won't leave. Whichever way, he was done with her. “Yes, you are. Unless you want me to call the guards.”Jenna was startled by his seriousness but then, what did she have to lose? She would just provoke him if begging wouldn't work. Afterall, Casper would never hurt her. He owed her his life. “You’ll call the guards on me?” She smirked and asked.Casper was baffled by the quick change in her conduct but responded curtly, “yes.”“Alright,” she nodded her head.Casper was surprised when she walked around his bed and pulled open the drawer. Indeed, he had changed the bed last year but still had drawers made at the side. “What are you doing?” He asked in irritation. She didn't respond and brought out a gun. She took her time and began loading it with bullets. Casper felt a strange fear in his heart, that wiped the anger he felt before.“Put that down,” he strutted towards her and tri
On his way home, Casper received multiple calls from the Blade seniors and the Wreaths but didn't answer any of them. He couldn't face them until he made a decision since his guts told him that Jenna wasn't who he thought she was.Denzel kept asking questions till they arrived at the manor. Casper went to his room with Denzel while Hunter waited with the bodyguards in their lounge. As soon as Denzel saw Jenna, disappointment flashed in his eyes.“You stayed with Mr Blade and left me. Dad isn't answering my calls either.” He felt neglected ever since they got to Manhattan. The guilt-stricken Jenna walked to the boy and cupped his cheeks in her palms but he moved away. He hated that and she knew it but couldn't hold back because he was too cute.“Don't do that. What are you doing here? Does dad know that you are with another man?” Denzel asked and Jenna glanced at Casper, instantly lowering her gaze. He had taken off his sunglasses and his eyes burned like fire, it was scary. Jenna’s hea
