Damsel in Distress?
That question was never answered, for her phone chose that exact moment for its ringtone to go off. Jade stood sluggishly, making her way towards the bed which her phone lay ringing incessantly. All thoughts of Ricky fled the moment she saw her sister's name flash on the screen, and she picked up the phone, swiping the screen to answer her sister's call.
"Chloe..."
"Jade...Jade I'm so sorry... I... I fucked up again..."
Her heart practically flew from her chest, her heart beat increasing a thousandfold.
"What...what happened?" She managed to ask.
Chloe barely let her finish asking the question before speaking up immediately. "It's Peanut... I... I didn't pick her up at school early and father..."
Jade ceased to hear for a full minute, every blood drained from her face. Patrick Raymonds was an asshole extraordinary who had used his wife to a point where she had become nothing but a shell of herself. He was a selfish conniving bast

The young girl who had come to pack up her things was swift and before long, they both had her suitcases ready to go.Perspiration ran down Jade's temple as she pulled out palazzo jeans and skin hugging tank top which was designed to expose the smooth skin of her shoulders. But she hadn't chosen it because of its beauty. Embellishment was in fact far from her mind, and she had picked the first two things she had caught sight and worn. For once, she didn't care about blow drying her wet hair or running a brush through it.All that was in her mind was a plea, a prayer to the high realms to save Esmeralda, the little girl who had grown on her like a duplicate skin.Annabelle called thirty minutes later to let her know that the arrangements had been made. However, she also informed her that the next available flight was two hours away from their current time, but she had booked it anyway.That didn't bode well with Jade. She quickly contacted her engine
When the Bosses Meet The Start of Something New
"Sir, should I wake her up for lunch?" The tall slender hostess asked Ricky, her green eyes glittering beautifully against pale skin, her perfect dentition glowing against full lips which had been coated with Matte red lipstick. She was stunning, and had more than twice during every trip he had gone on given him the looks.Perhaps if he didn't have the don't-fuck-the-employee policy, he might have considered having it out with her in the past. But now, nothing else attracted him apart from the woman who had been sleeping across him since the past two hours. He stared at her again put of habit since she had boarded his jet, a smile creeping slowly to his lips.She made him happy.Her mere presence brought him satisfaction, and he wanted no one and nothing else."No." He replied curtly, eager for the hostess whose name he couldn't recall, nor did he bother knowing to be away from his presence. He needed to be alone with Jade without being interrupted every
When the Bosses Meet The Start of Something New...2
As soon as Jade woke up, she knew that she had slept for a really long time. It was just the well-rested feeling which embraced her mind and body that gave it away. Yawning, she adjusted her eyes to the light, stretching her arms."You're finally awake."Oh boy! Could she wake up everyday to this husky sexy voice?Jade focused her eyes on him, that vision of tanned flesh clad in designers' suit whose mere presence brought comfort, happiness to her.For some reason she couldn't fathom, she felt less burdened knowing he was here with her."Yeah. Seems I slept for a while." She forced herself to say, swallowing the words that threatened to spill out of her lips. Words like "You look so yummy and may I have a taste...?"Jade chided herself inwardly. There was her daughter lying in the E.R. while she was busy fantasising about Mears Ricky. Scrape the fact that the man was so distracting that anyone would have felt the same way.With
When the Bosses Meet Coming to the Rescue, Knight Ricky?
The signature smell of antiseptics and drugs infiltrated through the entire hospital, welcoming the two CEO's even before the receptionist officially welcomed them. Or rather, decided to turn the supposed welcome into a meet and greet where she expressed her excitement to have finally met Ricky whom she had often admired for three whole minutes. Well, Jade hadn't let the fiery red-haired succeed in making it into a meet and greet, but had quickly pulled out her ID card, briskly requesting for Esmeralda's room number. Perhaps if circumstances had been less serious, she would have played the jealous girlfriend card and sent the opportunist running using a single attitude. But her entire mind and heart were focused on her daughter, and she prayed again that her condition wouldn't be serious. When the receptionist grudgingly turned the laptop to their direction, handing the light pen over to them to sign the visitors' form and have their identities checked
When the Bosses Meet Her Knight
Ricky stiffened, not out of fear of the anger in her voice, but in shock, and fear for her. He had been aware that there was some feud between her and her father, owing to her overtaking him as CEO after gathering shares behind his back and taking him unawares. But he had never imagined that it ran this deep, nor was he able to immediately decipher what she meant, because what was the connection between her father and Esmeralda lying in a hospital bed.... Unless... He didn't want to explore that dark thought that led him into thinking of the possibility that her father was the reason that Esmeralda was in that condition. No; it couldn't be. He was conversant with assholish parents, his parents' marriage being one of the models he'd had that had led into being a non-advocator for marriages. But no fucking asshole would be disgusting enough to do that to a child, let alone their own grandchild. Recovering himself, he looked dow
When the Bosses Meet Worry is Underrated
The second time that Ricky was sent to a voicemail, the urge to smash his phone against the wall filled his mind, and paying no heed to the security officers by the doors and hallway who kept looking at him, obviously wondering who this strange-acting person was, Ricky cursed again, raking his fingers through his hair in frustration. Relying solely on hope, he dialed again, his heart pounding at an alarming rate, his fingers shaking uncontrollably as he kept pressing his phone. "Damn it Jade! Pick the goddamn call!" Ricky cursed, wishing she could somehow hear him and pick her call. He needed like a drug to confirm that she was alright, because he was going the hell out of his mind with worry, and again felt so powerless for not knowing what to do about it. He dialed Annabelle's line, making no attempt to hide his emotions the moment she picked up on the first ring. "Ms. Annabelle, try con
When the Bosses Meet Beyond Want
"What the fuck do you mean by a dead end? I don't pay you to return to me with such bullshit story! Fucking find her or You're fired." It was 9:30 p.m., four hours after Jade's disappearance and he had got no lead from his private investigator. Annabelle had been unsuccessful on her end as well; Jade hadn't dropped by, and every attempt to call her had been directed to a voicemail. Ricky raked his fingers through his already disheveled hair, his fingers shaking as he poured red wine into a glass. He took it down his throat in one gulp, his eyes bloodshot as he stared into space. The rain was still pouring as though the skies and the earth were quarrelling, and he felt as though he were crippled; unable to do anything other than rely on a huge private investigation firm that couldn't even do as much as find one woman. Although Jade was qui
When the Bosses Meet Beyond Need
Ricky said nothing, his lips parted, his brain rendered into nothingness. Jade misread his reaction, because she quickly added, her voice dropping. "Unless you don't want me." Ricky gripped hold of her jaw, drowning in the brownness of her eyes. He thought of proving himself with his words, but deciding that action always did it better, he leant forward and captured her bottom lip in between his teeth, biting it gently, his eyes never leaving hers. And in his eyes were desire; raw and passionate lust. "You must give me lots of credit if you think I have as much as a thread of restraint around you." He spoke against her lips, his palm cupping and gripping her arm possessively, the sudden action making her gasp involuntarily. "Then...why not?" Even as she asked the question, she was gritting her teeth, shivering from the cold.
