It wasn't like any other day.From the warm milk that caressed her naked body to the red rose petals that danced to the waves.The soft silk robe that hugged her body to the slight raking of the comb through her brown hair.The moisture of the cream melting down her skin to the different texture of brushes sweeping across her face.The soft laughter of the servant girls rhymed with the deafening silence in her head.From the pins in her hair to the cold diamonds around her throat, even down to the oddly comfortable heels that swallowed her feet.The zipping of the dress and the pinning of the veil.Black roses placed in her cold palms as she was led to the Cathedral with a long tail following behind. All she heard was the wedding bells.Wedding bells that signified unity.Wedding bells that signified beginning.Wedding bells that signified happy ending.But her bells only rang with an warning.A known warning.She was dressed in all black.Matching into what seemed to be her beginnin
Excitement was an understatement.She was ecstatic and overwhelmed!This pleasure has definitely replaced the anger and trauma she felt.But for how long.Jade knew it'd last for a very considerable amount of time when she woke up the next day and he was still with her in bed.His arms wrapped protectively around her waist.Their toes mingled and she silently listened to his steady heartbeat.Slowly lifting her head, she adjusted her meesy hair to take a proper look at his face.Jade never liked his piercing but now she realized how nice they looked on him.Even his nose ring was kinda seductive.‘Behave yourself, Jade!’She didn't know if it was because she got laid or she as actually meant it.Then his tattoos caught her attention.All these tattoos should have a meaning right?But what kind of experience made him get all that?Were they good or bad?How many times or how bad can a man really get hurt?She traced from the little upsidedown crucifix just below his left eye down to hi
Jade felt the rush of adrenalin in her bloodstream and the cold air roughly brush pass her face.She stopped to catch her breath.She has been doing more of this morning run for a good amount of days now since Xavier decided to completely neglect her for his work.And she couldn't help but notice it was because of someone in particular.Who could that be? Who is taking away his attention?A he or she?Carrie mentioned it was a he the other time.She wasn't really sad because she expected it. She was in on this only for the fuck anyways.Jade felt her head turn and nauseousness settled in her gut.Her mouth turned sour and she felt dizzy.She held her abdomen as she fell to her knees and vomited close to the water.Why is she feeling like shit?Jade stood to her feet but still felt dizzy. Her head light and she didn't feel her body.“Look who we have here" Carrie jogged to her.Great, she wished for her husband and this one shows up.“I don't have your time, Carrie" Jade simply stated.
Jade didn't have a hard time convincing Xavier to go to the seafood restaurant with her.“You know, we could just stay in and I promise to make you feel really good" Xavier complained on their way to the restaurant.She loved the way they walked in the sand, under the bright stars.“No. I'm tired of staying in" She wrapped her hands around his waist. “Don't you wanna go out with me? Are you ashamed or you just wanna pick work over me" “Fine!" He tickled her, making her jump with a giggle.“Xavier Stone!" She exclaimed.“Whoa…the full name now, huh?" He tickled her some more until she got away from him.“Stop it! If you fail to notice, we are in public!”" Isn't that what you wanted?” He smiled."Stop being a rascal!”They walked into the restaurant and placed their orders." I'm not really a big fan of seafood” They way he made his face when he tasted the food made her laugh." What? It makes my throat…" “...Say yikes" She completed the sentence with a sad smile, making Xavier look
Jade quickly put on her knittens and opened the small oven in her tiny kitchen.The hot air lightly hit her face as she pulled out a tray of baked bread.She smiled to herself for such an achievement because she was still learning and had a long way to go.“Oh my!" She quickly dropped it on the kitchen counter and rushed to the pot on the fire, turning it off.She breathed a breath of relief when she realized her beef didn't burn at all.“Now for my soup" She picked her basket with a smile and headed out of the cabin door.Her little cabin stood on a little hill.She was so glad she got it the moment she found this place. It was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful meadows.With simple farm sandals and a weaved basket in her hand, she set out for the nearby market.She was surrounded by mostly farms so everyone buys fresh food from the market.She located her favorite stand in an instant.Jade hadn't been here no less than a month but she was already well acquainted with the whole tow
“Ma’am, breakfast is ready" Maria informed.The next time she opened her eyes after witnessing Lily's murder, she found herself back in his cursed mansion.“Ma’am? Please eat something" Maria said sadly.Jade looked up at her. “I'm not hungry, Maria. I just want water" The door suddenly opened and Xavier barged in. “Get out!" He angrily commanded and Maria ran out.He grabbed Jade by the arm and pulled her to her feet. “What is wrong with you? You wanna starve to death? This is another way to kill yourself?" Yes, she tried to kill herself. One time in the tub, which she almost drowned and the second time with a knife which wasn't much successful.The third time she tried to end her life, Xavier stopped her before she threw herself off the balcony.“Let me go! I hate you! I hate it when you touch me! You disgust me!" Jade tried to fight him off but she had no strength in her.“Go ahead! Suit yourself! You should hate yourself while you're at it too. Next time you plan to run from me,
The truck hit her from the side, sending her crushing to the harsh tar in a pool of blood. Xavier ran to her in horror, afraid he might meet an even harsher reality. But that didn't bother him as he knelt before her lifeless body. “Jade?" He called with a hope that she might respond when he knew clearly well that hope had already died inside him. He quickly picked her blood soaked body. He doesn't care how they are gonna do it, but he wants her standing on her feet again, no matter what. Some nurses took her from him and rushed her to the OT. He sat still in the private room. Waiting to get the news about his wife. He knew what he was gonna hear, but he stubbornly hoped he'll hear what he wanted because if not, then the whole of this city will feel his wrath. Raquel walked in. “We have work" She informed him with a rifle in one hand. Xavier sat on a chair next to the bed with his head in his palms. “Xavier, you need to put yourself together. I'll station some of my men
“Don't you wanna go out and do something fun?" Xavier caressed her cheek.Jade lost interest in the entire world.“No" She shook her head and wrapped herself up with the duvet in her bed.Xavier took it off.“C’mon, you haven't stepped out in weeks" He lifted her into his arms.“I'm fine, really" “Why don't you dress up and go to the mall?" He placed her on the floor and removed a golden card. “Buy whatever you want. Raquel won't go with you. You can't take Maria if you want…”" Fine” Jade collected the card and walked to her closet.She didn't want any drama by saying no to him so why not just give into his every demand to avoid trouble?If this is how he wants her to live, so be it.She was still very much traumatized even after a month of losing her child.Although Dr. Vince told her she lost her child in a miscarriage, she still couldn't help but blame Xavier because she knew even if the child survived, Xavier would still kill it.So she has to blame him for killing her child.Ja
“Um.” Khalil hesitated. “Maria called.” He sat on the bed and caressed her chin.For some reason, he was scared at what her reaction might be. He didn't want her to make an irrational decision that could destroy him.“What? Is she okay?” Jade worriedly asked. “I totally forgot about her. Is she fine? Why did she call?”“She said Xavier permitted her to leave.” He said.“Did he kick her out or was that her decision?” Jade wrapped herself with the sheets. “I need to talk to her.”“Jade.” Khalil held her back when she attempted to get down the bed. “It was her decision. She asked for it.”“Oh.” She sat back down. “But then, why? She has no one. I hope she didn't do it because I left.”Khalil slightly licked his lips, deciding if he should tell her why Maria called or just pretend she never said what she did and move in with his life with Jade.But that would be cruel, and he will never be able to forgive himself if ever he did that to someone.“You told her about my proposal.” He looked
“Khalil.” His voice whispered into her ears. “Khalil.” “Khalil!” She moaned. “Kha…lil..” Her eyes rolled to the back of her head.Her legs began to shake but he didn't stop as she let it all go and soon, she was moaning at the top of her voice and enjoying the ecstasy as she felt his hot cum spread in her belly, deep in her system.Khalil went down on her again to lick up her juices.Jade finally opened her eyes with a smile and Khalil laid beside her in the bed.The room was quiet but their breaths harmonically sounded in the air.Jade cuddled closer to him but Khalil suddenly moved away. “What is it?”The prince climbed down the bed and walked to the closet and Jade couldn't keep her eyes off his proudly standing shaft.He got a towel and wrapped it around his waist.“Why are you covering up?” Jade sat up naked in the bed with a frown.“Because we need to talk and I don't want any distraction.” He stopped a distance from her.“What? You're regretting having sex with me?” Tears fill
Jade slowly opened her eyes with a stretch and looked around. How did she get on the bed?Memories of yesterday came rushing in.She felt a light headache when she sat up on the bed with a yawn.There was a white pill in a plate and a jar of water on the bedside table.Jade swallowed the pill and climbed down the bed.There is definitely someone in the house and it's probably Khalil.Jade looked around the house but there wasn't any sign of him. “Khalil?” She called but no response.She walked back to her room but then realized there was a room down the hall.“Khalil?” She pushed the door open and walked in. The shower was running.A briefcase was on the bed along with some clothes too. Everything was neatly arranged and in order, even his bed.She was so distracted she didn't hear the shower turn off and the door open.“Jade?” Khalil called, making her jump a little. She turned to look at him but her head quickly snapped away.“Oh my God! I'm so sorry.” She apologized.He was naked
“Xavier!” She banged the door. “Xavier!” Jade didn't stop screaming and hitting the door.“Open the fucking door! You can't do this to men! Xavier! Fuck you!!!“ She fell to the ground in tear.She felt a sharp pain in her chest.No, this can't happen. It's not fair. He can't just throw her out when he wants.“Xavier!” Jade weakly called.What will she do now?Jade stood to her feet and thoroughly wiped her face, looking at the huge doors.Xavier.Jade walked to the car Carrie gave her earlier and ignited it.Where will she go to now?Jade angrily climbed down the car and walked back to the doors but stopped when she almost knocked again.What is she doing to herself? What is all these?Why can't she just let go and save herself the pain?She went back to the car and drove off.‘I don't want to ever see you again.’ His voice kept resonating in her mind.Those were his left words to her.“Fuck you!” She hit the steering wheel as tears blinded her.Jade stopped the car to weep for a mome
“I'm simply rewriting the stars. I'm putting them back in place. So thank me for setting you free, isn't that what you always wanted? You wanted to run, now I'm making a way for you. Xavier will kick you out of the house himself and you will forever be free. He will let go of you.” Carrie continued. “HE will let YOU go.” “W-what?” “Here.” She dropped the key on the table. “There's a car parked outside. The faster you made it back home, the faster you'd be able to tell Xavier the truth. But if I beat you to it, goodbye, Jade.” Carrie walked away. “Carrie!” She started to untie her legs. “Carrie!” Jade stood to her feet and picked the keys, running in Carrie's direction. “Carrie!” Jade couldn't find Carrie so she jumped into the car that was parked outside the building. ‘He will let you go.’ Carrie's voice kept ringing in her head. Does she really want Xavier to let her go? Jade's heart kept beating fast as she tried to locate her way back. She can't let Carrie succeed with her
Jade slowly around to look at him. “Do I know you?” He had brown hair and brown eyes. “No, but I know you and that's enough.” He said with a smirk that naturally curled up his lips. “So who are you?” Jade didn't know why she wasn't scared or felt like the man standing right in front of her won't hurt her and might just be what she'd been looking for. “Zane.” He introduced himself and offered her a handshake which she took. Jade paused, she knows that name. She'd heard it before. “I wish we met sooner.” He continued. “I've been dying to meet you.” “Why?” Zane admired her beauty. “Let's just say I like taking what doesn't belong to me.” He smiled and let go of her hand. “What do you want?” Jade asked. “Xavier's head.” He stated. Jade looked at him, lifting her chin with a smirk. Zane was a physically built man and also had tattoos just like Xavier although he was bigger than her husband. “You want my husband's head?” She chuckled. “You're really a smart woman, Jade. Forgi
Jade and Maria walked into the mall with Denzel right behind them.“Do you want one, Denzel?” Jade asked, selecting ice cream flavors.“I'm good, ma'am.” He simply replied.“What is your favorite flavor?” Jade asked again.“Um.” Denzel adjusted a little. “Vanilla.”“That's bullshit!” Jade looked at the flavors. “Who likes vanilla?”“I like vanilla too.” Maria said.Jade looked at her in disbelief. “You too? Shame.” She shook her head. “That's like the most plain flavor ever.”Maria chuckled as she watched Jade study the ice cream.“I think I know the perfect flavors for you two.” Jade looked at them and back at the man patiently waiting. “Mint and pineapple in a cone for the gentleman.” Jade waited for it to be scooped up and gave it to Denzel. “Try it you will love it.”“I really shouldn't.” Denzel insisted.“I won't repeat myself.” She held it out. “You won't come to the mall and not have ice cream at least.”Denzel hesitantly took the cone from her. “Thanks.” “And for the ladies,
“Jade, please don't do this.” Maria tried to take back the bags Jade was angrily packing up.“Stay out my way, I'm warning you.” Jade picked one of the already packed bags.“What about Mr. Stone?” Maria planted herself in front of her, trying to stop her from walking out.“He doesn't want me here, I'm leaving.” Jade plainly said. “I'm tired of being rejected and taken for granted when all I give him is love.”“He is just mad, I'm very sure he is working on finding out the truth. Please be patient.”Maria begged.“For how long? Honestly, this time, I'm really done.” Jade pushed her aside and angrily opened the door.“Ma’am!” Maria went after her.“Where do you think you're going to?” Xavier asked from behind.Jade stopped in her tracks and quickly turned to look at him. “I'm leaving.”Xavier looked at her with no expression. “I'm sure you know how this goes, I've threatened you a quite good number of times. Don't make me actualize them today.”“What's the point of me being here?”Xavier
Jade watched the video in shock. It was the day she visited Xavier's empire. When she found out that Carrie wasn't carrying Xavier's child and went into her office. ‘ “What are you doing here? You've never been here before.” Carrie asked. “Is it wrong to visit my husband's empire?” Jade smiled. “He brought me in today. It's good to get acquainted to my properties. Just one day, I will have all of these. I already have, it belongs to my husband after all.” “You can dream on.” Carrie rolled her eyes. “Xavier put in a lot of work into building everything he has today. Why do you think he will just give it to you?” “And who said I'll wait until he gives it to me? If he doesn't, I will have to take it.” Jade smirked. “What are you saying, Jade? Do you even know who you are talking about? The Mafia Lord, do you think you can fool him?” Carrie asked. “Oh you stupid thing, I have him wrapped around my little finger. He won't know what will hit him. So I advise you to leave this boat bef
