"I could feel your ego hurt from here." I tease as we walk to the receptionist. "Hey, I'm Jada, and this is my fiancé Jayden. We had an appointment with Jade Cloud." I say, making Jayden choke on air. I move towards him, knowing why he reacted this way."Are you okay, sweetie?" I ask innocently as the lady looks at him worriedly before her eyes widen."Oh my God! You are Jayden Williams!" She squeals as Jayden mutters an Oh No! "My best friend is your number one fan. She has watched all your games and has your stickers." She says with a grin."I see you missed your time with her, but she'll let you in when she sees who you are. Maybe even have a private yoga lesson." She says, and I raise an eyebrow at her. She looks at me with the same smile. "I didn't mean it that way. She doesn't mix business with pleasure." She adds.She picks up the telephone. "Jade, youRelated chapters

"Hey Jada. Your phone's ringing." Jayden says softly into my ear. I sit straight and pick up my phone. It's Isabella Kings. "Hey, Amelia and I are going shopping tomorrow wanna join?" She asks immediately when I receive the call. My anger flares when I hear Amelia's name. Her family made me like this. A monster. I don't even understand why the Kings would forbid me from going after her and her sister, Bianca. They destroyed my life. "Jada? Are you there?" Isabella asks my eyes dart to Jayden who's watching me and I look away. "Yeah, I can't come with you. I have things to do tomorrow." I answer tightly gripping my phone. "Okay. We're going to look for dresses. For the mission." She says and I nod and say a bye. I'm not in the frame of mind to talk. My hand continues gripping the phone tightly. "Hey, it's okay." Jayden says. I didn't even notice he's moved closer to me. He takes the phone from my hand and leads me to the seat that we once occupied. "Why are you acting this way?"

"Remember no getting drunk. This is a mission." Sydney reminds us for the tenth time before leading us into 'Desires'. I adjust my dress ensuring that nothing can be seen before holding Jayden's arm and walking into the neon lighted place with a song I don't know playing. "That's Linda DJing over there." Jayden says to me as he points to a corner. I see her mop of curly hair bouncing as she jumps to the music and her husband, Ken Manchester, on the side walking to a man as he holds a glass of brown substance. "Why's her husband here?" I ask looking towards them as I see Linda waving in our direction. "Ken? He's the co-owner." He says. Then waves back at Linda. "Act drunk. " I state walking towards the center as I look around. "Never tried it but I guess I could try." He says as I study everyone in my line of sight. Isabella and Sydney are dancing as Amelia and Harry are ordering something from the bar. "Let's go say hi to

I shoot two of them just as Sydney's car stops and Isabella gets out pointing two guns at the two remaining men. Amelia holds one pistol as her husband Harry stands beside her ready to fight. Yale, the Spider, raises both his hands in a surrender position. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Isabella Kings. I missed your pretty face." He says with a smirk. I see Sydney turn to face his wife who looks confused for a few seconds before her mouth forms an 'o' in recognition. "Like the hair cut, Ian?" She says with a smirk. "What do you want with them?" She asks still pointing her gun at him. I look at the other guy who seems to realize that everyone's attention has shifted to Isabella and the Spider. He takes out his gun discreetly making me raise an eyebrow. I shoot at him making him fall as all conversation cease and everyone looks at him. "Let's get going." I say and shoot The Spider's leg. "Just in case he tries something he shouldn't. And for being the spider, you have way little men

It's been two hours, and Ian is a tough nut to crack, I'd give him that. "This is getting boring." I say, placing the bloody knife inside the bucket full of saline water. Ian's eyes follow my movements as I walk to the other devices. I pick out a screwdriver and walk slowly to him. His body is covered with cuts enough to bring discomfort. I haven't brought very serious harm to him yet. You could conclude that I'm like a cat: I play with my prey first. "So this is a screwdriver." I say, looking at it. "It can bring very serious damage. You know, like taking eyes out? I'm sure you know how to use it. So tell me again, who do you work for? Who's the spider? " I say, and he starts laughing. I stand and walk to him and stab his thigh with the screwdriver, making him let out a cry. "I'll tell you no shit, bitch." He says and spits on my leg. I kick his jaw with the same leg and he grunts. I turn towards the two men who carried him. Pour the saline water on him. I'll be back in the morni

"Hey Cole. I have one more favor to ask.""My long lost Jada contacted me months later just to ask for a favor? I'm hurt." He says making me roll my eyes. "Julia and Julian Holmes. I need you to look them up and send the details.""Like old times. Told you, you'll always need me." He says and I crack a smile but when my eyes shift to Jayden, the smile disappears. "I'll wait for the info in an hour." I say. "Or maybe less." He adds and I cut the call. "As we wait, can you tell me what you did to make Ian talk?" I ask making him sigh. "We weren't supposed to dig into each other's lives. Remember?" He says looking into my eyes a smirk gracing his lips. "You cut his foot with a chainsaw. How I'm I supposed to look past that?" I ask moving closer to where he's sitting. "Everyone has their moments Jada. People call you Candice at the base. I look past that. You also tortured that man, I watched the loo

Seven years ago I hear something ring disturbing my sleep. "Get it, Ash. Make it stop." I mumble, trying to sleep again. The ringing doesn't stop making me raise my head towards Ashton's side of the bed, but there's no one. I look at my bedside table to find my phone ringing. "Mum. It's so early. What do you want?" I ask immediately I pick up, and I hear laughter on the other side. "Happy birthday, Princess." I hear my dad's voice. "It's eleven, and she's still in bed?" I hear my mum's voice scolding. "It's her birthday. Let her sleep as long as she wants." I hear my dad say making me smile. They always banter. "Hey dad, hi mummy. Did you call so that you can speak to each other?" I ask as I let out a laugh in amusement. I feel the bed dip as Ashton comes behind me and embraces me. He kisses my neck and whispers a 'happy birthday' to me. "Morning Mr Martins, morning Mrs Martins." Ashton says into the phone, and m

"I'll go take care of some things, and I'll come for you, baby. I'm so sorry I missed your birthday. Okay?" I talk to Ryan the next day. Ryan smiles at me as he nods. "As long as you get my present." He says, showing me his pinky finger. I let out a laugh and lock mine to his and kiss his forehead. "I'll be back sooner than you know baby, okay?" Ryan nods. I get up from my position and stand. I see Abby, who only gives me a small smile and looks away. I look back at Ryan, who's happily eating his chocolate before I kiss his hair and walk out to my car. I find my phone ringing, but I don't make any effort to pick it up. When it stops, I take it and look at the screen. Seven missed calls from Jayden, two missed calls from Isabella, and two text messages from Jayden. "Hey, Candice. Jayden called to ask if we've seen you since yesterday, and so I was checking up on you." Isabella says immediately when I call her. People you trust the mo

Jayden's POVI watch Jada as she walks into her bathroom. She looks so hurt. So sad. Her eyes have always seemed so lifeless but intriguing but today, they were sad. She seemed defeated. "Jayden, all I can tell you, is that betrayal hurts. I wouldn't want anyone to go through it." She's said before getting into her bathroom and the words keep on repeating inside my head. It's obvious someone close to her hurt her and as much as I want to figure out who it is, I can't. Jada never talks about her family or her friends. She never talks about her life. What she loves or hates. And I'd kill for an hour of her opening up to me. She gets into the bedroom drying her hair with a towel and I watch her. Her long black hair is curlier than normal. I continue watching her until her eyes meet mine. "I thought you'd be long gone." She says tying her hair into a bun. "Now that Julian's issue is done, what next?" I ask. She said she wanted to leave. I

ONE YEAR LATER JAYDEN'S POV "I'll really miss the three of you." I say, looking down at the three graves belonging to Jakob, Lillian, and Leonardo Williams. "I didn't know that I could feel at peace after your death, but in a way, you leaving me brought Jada to me." I say as I sit in front of the middle grave, Leo's. It had been my mother's idea to leave the space in between, and at the time, I disagreed, thinking how it was selfish to think that Leo would occupy that space someday. "You already met Clarissa Louisa Williams, my daughter." I say with a smile as I think of my daughter. She has my white blonde hair and blue eyes but Jada's facial features. She's beautiful. "And my son Ryan Costa Williams. They are the best kids anyone would wish for guys." I say just as I hear Ryan shouting for me. I immediately smile and get up. "Time for me to leave." I pat my trousers to rid off any dust. "I'll be back." I promise before turning and walking to

"Jayden. I need to tell you something." I start talking about an hour later of watching some crappy late night show that I didn't even understand what it is about. He doesn't respond, making me look at him. He's asleep. I sigh and turn down the volume, then stand and cover him well before sitting on the chair that I had previously insisted on sitting on. I decide to switch off the television after a while and look down at my phone. It's a little past one a.m. I miss Ryan so much. Jayden and I had talked to him hours ago, but I still want him here. I look at Jayden's peaceful face, sleeping and sigh. I want us to talk about the baby, but he needs to sleep and rest. It's like a heavy truth that I need to spit it out so that I can feel free. But it seems that I'll have to wait till in the morning. I stand and walk to the couch at the corner of the hospital room and lie down, and try getting some sleep. I've never thought about starting a family after Ashton, my parents and siblings di

Linda has informed me about the convulsions before she went into Jayden's hospital room. The first one started yesterday morning at around four a.m. I can see Sarah eyeing my stomach with curiosity but she dares not ask about it. And I really hope she doesn't. She treated me poorly last time I was here. "So, how long are you?" She asks looking ahead but I don't answer. I look down at my phone and continue my texts with Shawn. I really am changing. "Is that my grandchild Candice Martins?" She calls me by my birth names making me still and try to fight the urge to look up. "I know so much about you. Don't think that I'll just sit and see my son destroy his life because of some woman." Sarah says and I turn to her with a smirk. "That's the problem Mrs Williams." I start and I can see her eyes locked to mine. She has these beautiful brown eyes but one can see the sadness and void in it. She looks tired. "You don't have to love me for me to be with your son. You can take it easy, Jayden

"Jada, it's Sarah. I think we might need you here." Sarah says. "Why would you now need me after telling me to stay away from your family?" I ask with a scoff. "Could you come to the hospital then we'll talk about this. I had my reasons, and believe me, if I didn't want my son to get better, I wouldn't have called you." She answers, making me wonder what is happening to Jayden. "I'm in Seattle. I'm back at work, and my son just got back to school. I can't keep on disrupting my life because you can't decide if you want me there or not. I have a life Mrs Williams and I can't just stop it because you want me to." With that, I hung up my phone though I can feel my hand shaking.What happened to Jayden? I know Sarah has this large ego and wouldn't call me if nothing happened. Maybe I should call Mr Kings, his doctors can tell him what is happening. With that in thought, I pick up my phone that I had placed on the desk and search for Sydney's number, but it goes to voicemail. I try Isab

Isabella Kings has been nice to me for the past few weeks since I came back to LA even though I was rude to her before I went to Seattle. Her mother had asked for me to join dinner, and some days, some days prior to dinner, I found out about Ashton's betrayal and kid. "Bella. Is that dinner thing still on? Maybe it's time for your mother to meet my son. She's always complaining about me being alone." I say as we walk from a nearby grocery shop. "Really? Yeah. I'll tell her. She'll be so excited." She smiles, and I give her a small smile. I have decided to go back to Seattle in a week since Ryan needs to catch up in school after almost two months and Jayden's mother had been deadly serious when she told me that she didn't want to see me again. As for my unborn child, I'm 19 weeks long. I've stayed in the Kings' mansion since we found my son. Ryan had been silent for the first two weeks, but he started opening up, eventually making me let out a breath of relief. He had been silent an

"Where is she?" I ask angrily when I see Sydney. I'm holding Ryan's hand as I walk towards him with large steps. "Your FBI friend Mike has taken her to the FBI." Sydney informs me, and I continue looking at him expectantly, and he lets out a breath. "Where's Jayden?" I ask suddenly vulnerable. "He should be in hospital now. There's some people who work for us there who'll deal with him." He assures me even though I already know. "I should go to the hospital now. I need to check if Ryan and my baby are okay." I say, and Sydney looks confused for a while before the sudden realization dawns on him. "The fuck!" He shouts glaring at me. Sydney wouldn't want me to join them if he knew that I am pregnant. he almost lost his wife because of that."Please. We'll talk later." Sydney has been protective of me since he met me and helped me escape the Italians. "Izzy and I will drive you." He says after a sigh and we start walk

Sydney glares at Jayden, making him falter in his steps but continues walking to him. Sydney made it clear that no one should call him by his name during an operation since people could easily identify him. Or something like that, I wasn't really concentrating when he gave out that order. As for Jayden, this is the first field mission he's been on and doesn't know the rule or hasn't bothered to know. "Don." Jayden tries again, making Sydney raise an eyebrow. "Sir." I almost laugh at how unsure Jayden is. A car drives to us, making us all stop in our tracks and look at it. "Not again." Sydney mutters irritatedly, but his face shows amusement. Two women in leather attire and black four inch boots step out with guns. "Sorry we're late. Let's get moving, boys." Isabella says with a straight face as her Italian friend, Amelia, smirks and cocks her gun. Sydney walks to the them in large steps. "Always with the entrance, my love." Sydney jokes giving

Julia has been a tough cookie, but we eventually got her to talk when she was on the verge of death. I left Jayden behind to deal with her. 'Ryan is my only family. The rest were all killed by the Italians.' I remind myself when I remember Julia's taunting eyes. I can literally feel guilt trying to claw up my mind and heart, but I try everything to suppress it. Why should I even care? After all, my aunt's husband, who was also Julia and Julian's father, betrayed my dad to the Italians just because of his greed for power. The bastard didn't even know that he had just signed his death certificate. Too bad my aunt had to suffer his mistakes, too. That was the only information that we could get from Julia. The address she gave us was useless. "Did you find anything else?" I ask Cole immediately after he picks up the call. I hear him let out a sigh before he mumbles a negative response just like he did ten minutes ago. I'm getting even more desperate.

As soon as we landed, I switched on my phone and gave Joey Dan Hart's phone number and the other information I had. I went to my most recent calls and selected Cole's name. "Hey, Jada." He sounded tired."Did you find anything?" I ask instantly. "Yeah. I was just about to call you. Ivy visited a hospital a few weeks ago with the name Cassy Waters." Cole says, and I hum in acknowledgment. "Guess you already know that. So I checked for the name Cassy Waters and found hundreds of them then star...""Get to the point, Cole." I say suddenly impatient. "Forgot you're always rude." Cole laughs. "Okay, so I found her. Turns out that Ivy Armstrong was Cassy Waters' stepmother, who died seven years ago. Murdered. Cassy left a month after her burial." Cole explains, making the wheels in my head turn. "Anything else. What I want to know is where she is with my son Cole. Not her bloody history." I say my voice raising. I feel my phone bei
