(Jade's POV)

“You have any siblings?" I continued my questions, following him to wherever.

This was definitely better than going to a farm.

“Yes, a sister. Our mother died while giving birth to her. We stay with our father" He answered.

What drew me to him was his simplicity. He didn't even mind talking to a complete stranger.

“I don't think there are any schools around here. Did you go to school in the city?" I asked.

“Yes, I couldn't complete middle and final year so I stayed back to help with the farm but my sister is in the city” He replied.

" So you are here catching fishes and tilling the earth just for her to go to school? That is not fair”

" She's my sister and I want what's best for her. Sometimes, you don't have to be selfish”

" But it's good to be selfish sometimes”

I couldn't remember some of the things we discussed but it felt like I've known him for the whole of my life.

" This is my house. My father isn't around. He is at the farm, giving a tour to some high school kids

    Jade quickly slammed the book she was reading in bed and headed for the door when she heard some noise. “Please stay in, Mrs. Stone” One of the men at the door said to her. " What is going on?” For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. " Don't worry, we have everything under control, but you have to get back inside” What was under control? Raquel showed up immediately. She held a rifle. " Raquel” Jade called. " What's going on?” " Make sure she stays inside. Don't allow her out” She instructed them. " Yes general” They chorused. Raquel pulled out another gun. She was in a rush. “Wait, I won't move an inch, you know that. Just tell me what's happening" Jade became worried for no reason. Raquel hesitated. " Xavier's car is under attack. Don't ask me more questions because I do not know. My men are still trying to neutralize the threat. Please stay here, you're safe in here” Jade noded. " Please take care of him” She blurted but couldn't take it back. Raquel gav

    Jade stuffed a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth with a moan and laid back into the bed. Lately, her cravings got the best of her. She didn't know where they were coming from but they just kept coming and she has consumed a great amount of calories which should be alarming because she's one who always looked out for her shape. Maria hurried into the room when Jade was stuffing her face with chocolate wafers. “Ma’am, he just arrived" Maria informed. Jade quickly jumped out of the bed. “If he ask, tell him I went to the garden" She quickly instructed and ran to the bathroom. Maria walked out. “No, he will easily find me here" Jade hissed and looked around the room. Where will she hide? She can't hide in his study either! Jade quickly dashed to the balcony. If she stayed still, he will come in, freshen up and leave for another goddamn work so he won't see her. Jade quietly hid on the balcony behind the cold glass doors and soon, the doors opened. She heard his soft

    She felt like she could vomit the whole of her organs when she woke up. He throat was sore and her gut nasty. She had a light headache and a little temperature. “How’re you feeling, Mrs. Stone?” Dr. Vince greeted her with a smile. Jade looked from her personal doctor to her husband who stood close to the balcony doors, too far from her and she couldn't tell what was on his mind. " Hey, doc” Jade gave him a small smile. " I feel nasty” " That's just fine. You'll feel better. And congratulations once…” " I'm pregnant, ain't I?” She sighed and turned away from the doctor. “Yes, a month" Dr. Vince looked at at Xavier who said nothing. " Okay” She sadly nodded. Dr. Vince walked to Xavier as they discussed something and he left. Jade placed her shaky hand on her belly. She wasn't expecting this news but unlike the last time, she wasn't sad, or regretful to carry his child. It surprised her because she didn't feel the disgust, the shame of carrying his child, the pain she once felt

    Grabbing a bottle of champagne and two flutes in the other hand, Carrie removed a tiny tube from her purse and emptied its contents in one of the glasses. She turned to look around but no one was there. Xavier will soon be in his suite. She quickly filled the two glasses with the champagne and sipped from one. “I promise you, Xavier, today, our lives will change forever!” She happily smirked to herself and gulped everything. Carrie refilled her flute and Xavier walked in. He paused briefly at the door. " What are you doing here?” He asked, pulling off his suit jacket and sat at the edge of the bed. “I wanted us to celebrate the success of yet another partnership with a mob boss" She picked the two glasses and walked to him, swaying her hips. “I'm not really in the mood, Carrie" He dismissively said. “C’mon" She stopped in front of him and looked at him with a sad sigh. “I miss my friend. When was the last time we hung out? Or had a drink together?” " I'm flying ba

    Jade's footsteps became soft and cold. She walked to the bed with deep breaths and frozen heart. There laid her husband in another woman's arms. They slept naked in the bed, holding each other as their legs entangled. Her cold palms turned into frozen fists. She became rooted to the floor few inches away from the bed. She stared down on them with contempt, laced with disgust. A sweet sour flavor of betrayal hit the back of her throat, making her nauseous with anger. All she did was stare at the betrayal, with tears in her eyes and a voiceless cry. She couldn't feel anything. Her eyes were only on him. And one question reverberating in her mind. ‘Why?’ “Xavier…” His name escaped her mouth in a whisper. “Xavier!" This time, it came out with a screech. Carrie slowly opened her eyes and eventually, Xavier too. The two looked the woman towering over them with anger in her eyes. “J-Jade..” Xavier tried to get up but his head felt heavy. Carrie quickly pulled the

    She hurriedly flew out of the car and headed straight for their bedroom. Two days ago, she lost her second child. Just the thought of it makes her sick to the gut. And two days ago also, she got to find out about her husband's infidelity. She still couldn't believe Xavier would cheat on her but she had to when she saw everything with her own eyes. No wonder Carrie treated her as she wished. She was his mistress all along! “Maria!" Jade wiped the tears that flowed down her cheeks. Maria appeared almost immediately. “Welcome home, ma’am" The servant girl looked sad when she saw the tears on Jade's face. “Are you okay?" “Help me pack" She instructed and opened the door to the huge inbuilt closet. “Leave us" Xavier ordered when he walked in. “Yes sir" Maria bowed and rushed out. " And what do you think you're doing?” He took the clothes from her hand and threw them on the floor. “I'm moving back into my room" She informed. " You might as well as well perish that id

    Jade patiently waited for Maria to come in after permitting her in. Maria held in her hand a wrapped gift box and Jade was very curious as she stretched her hands out towards the young lady. “What's this?" She quickly unwrapped it, ignoring the card on it. She believed it was from Xavier so there wasn't any need for the card. But why didn't he give it to her himself when he is in the house? Jade's heart skipped a beat when she opened the box and her favorite flavor of Skittles laid in it. “Omg" She whispered to herself. How did Xavier know about this? The last time she had this was back in her house in Brooklyn and her mother gifted it to her. Jade quickly picked the card with shaky hands and stood to her feet. A lot of ideas were running though her mind. She wondered if her mother came to visit her. The smile on her face slowly faded when she read the card. ‘The only flavor that doesn't taste yucky, shaped like a little rockie and makes you whoosie, love by my bunny’

    She sat with a hot mug of coffee in her hands, hair in a bun with no makeup, knitted sweater and baggy jeans with white sneakers. “Do you still feel the same way you felt yesterday?" The therapist, who sat opposite her asked with a calm angelic voice. “Everyday feels the same. I still feel anger and hate" She replied and sipped her coffee. She had a nervous breakdown five days ago but it still felt so fresh. “When was the last time you had happy thoughts?” Jade shrugged. " Five days ago, before…" She paused and slightly looked at Xavier who was sited next to her. The three of them sat in a warm room with a fireplace, a room she used for her therapy only. Ever since her breakdown, he volunteered to attend her sessions with her which of course she declined. But today, the therapist invited Xavier himself. " It's okay, Mrs. Stone” He encouraged. " We've already talked about it. I don't wanna think about it anymore” She answered. " I invited your husband because I felt like you'

    “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?

    “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
