If only angels were real.
No, not an angel, he is a god!
His face looked fragile yet deadly. He looked like a masterpiece crafted by the softest hands and finest stone.
Jade couldn't take her eyes off him. The way he looked at her sent fireworks through her veins. She disconnected the eye lock and her eyes moved down to his succulent lips.
"You wanted to escape?" He asked.
All she saw was his lips moving. He was saying something but she heard nothing.
She felt the heat radiating from his body and the tightness of his muscles around her.
Was she still in his arms?
Well, it felt right.
What is more than being saved by the most beautiful creature on earth?
"Were you trying to escape?" He hoarsely asked again and this time, she heard him.
He said it with such a voice that sent chills down her spine. It matched his appearance and sounded like a melody.
Sexy, yet sinister.
"Um...No! I was just enjoying the view but I lost my footing" She stared up at him.
He gave her a faint smile that wasn't amusing nor exciting.
"Better. Because I would be forced to tie you up in my house if you try to escape" he said with an intensity that made her gut twirl.
"What!?" She frowned but in a minute, her eyebrows flew to her forehead.
No this can't be! Just when she wants to take a liking to him. Why can't anything good happen to her today?
Within hours, her life has completely turned for the worst.
Jade scuffled down him, straightened her shirt and lifted her chin a little.
She had to look up because he was tall and buffed up.
That was when she noticed the tattoos that carpeted his skin from the neck downwards and disappeared into his black shirt.
And a nose ring?
His whole physique made her blinked twice as she took in his appearance.
He wore a suit trouser and black long sleeves that hugged his triceps, biceps and abs which was complimented by a waistcoat.
How didn't she notice this?
"So it's you!" She spat. "How dare you!? Who exactly do you think you are!? You can't 'buy' a human being"
How can her parents sell her to someone like this?
He is hot and all but something about him seemed off. He wasn't the average man she'd normally go out with but she was helplessly attracted.
"I did!" He scoffed. His beard wasn't thick. It was just light and scanty. Just how she likes it.
Such an arrogant and annoying piece of shit! And how dare he talk to her like that? Who is this man? What does he want from her?
Why would he buy her to save her parents?
And why her?
"Who does that!? News flash, I'm going nowhere with you!" She pointed at him.
His icy eyes briefly looked at her finger and back at her.
As much as she wanted to be close to him because of the stupid attraction she felt towards him, she hated him for buying her with the same intensity.
If they'd met in different circumstances, she would be more than happy to fuck him because hell, he is hot.
He gave her a small smile which was accompanied by a deep laugh. It sounded sexy as hell but she felt frightened for no particular reason.
Oh those dimples and perfectly arranged set of teeth. And the way his nose slightly bent when he laughed was the cutest thing ever!
How does this man heats her up but sends chills down her veins at the same time?
She doesn't even know him.
But what is funny?
Her life has been ruined. She felt used and he was laughing?
"Laugh all you want but one thing I know is that I won't go anywhere! I'll stay at house and my parents will refund your money. Nothing and absolutely nothing will make me leave my house today!" She angrily said.
His smile slowly disappeared and he maintained a deadly stare.
"I'm going nowhere!" She repeated and folded her hands on her chest. "I'm not going anywhere with you" She repeated. "You can take back your money and we will figure out a way to fix all of these. And like I said, I'm going nowhere with you and if you think that I'm gonna back down, think again"
She was determined to get him off her back. No way will she live with a stranger and the sooner he gets that, the better because he has no idea how stubborn and irritating she can get.
He moved a little closer to her and lightly held her chin.
"Seeing you angry makes me want to tie you up right now in my house" He said with a deep seductive voice. He slowly bent towards her and placed his mouth close to her ears.
Jade felt his hot breath down her neck and the hair on her neck stood.
"And you know, I had a hard on all week. I wish we weren't out here in public because if you keep looking at me like that, your clothes will look nice on my bedroom floor"
Jade froze.
Just minutes of meeting him and he is already talking about getting laid?
It felt strange that he turned her on faster than anyone had ever done.
What is this strange attraction she feels towards him and why can't she control the need to get laid by him?
Are you a slut now, Jade?
She wanted to escape him immediately. The light brush of his rough chin and his hands passionately on her arms sent thrilling sensations down to her core.
She hates him but wants him as well.
Jade wondered what it will feel like to scream beneath him but the thought that he bought her and she literally belongs to him sparked a new feeling in her.
She needs to escape this man.
In the whole of her existence, Jade never felt confused.Is this the man she's gonna probably spend the rest of her life with?He drew away from her with a deadly smirk."I have more important things to take care of" He walked past her."Wait!" She ran behind him but he didn't stop."Listen! I have a better proposition" She tapped him from behind."Better than the deal I already have with your father?" He stopped and turned to her but she bumped into him."Ouch!" She breathed."You go to the gym?" He gave her a quick head to toe look."Um...can't see how that's relevant but no. Well, sometimes" She shrugged."Good""So about the proposition… Why don't I work for you. For free! That way, I can slowly pay off my parent's debt" She said. He put his hands in his pockets."Unless you want to work for me forever" He turned and walked away."I can do more!" She chased after him but he didn't stop until he kicked the front door to her house open."Hudson" He said to Jade's father who immediat
Jade flushed and her heart raced. She felt his palm burn into her soul when he placed his hand on her waist.He used his free hand to seductively trace her chin, jaw and finally, her lips.She was scared because of the dark look in his eyes but mostly because of the heat in between her legs.Xavier slowly drew away from her and she turned to the window again.Maybe the best thing is never to ask him any question that may or may not trigger her libido.The car came to a sudden stop and she sat up only to realize that they pulled over on the tarmac."Where are we going?" She frowned."My home in New York" He simply stated and got out and before he could reach her door, she already jumped out."What do you mean by 'my home in New York'?!" She exclaimed. "I don't want to leave Brooklyn!" She angrily said."What I want is the only thing you should think of '' He roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. "And the last thing you want is the head of your mother wrapped in a little nice b
Her parents might have made the biggest mistake ever.How could they have anything to do with such a dangerous man?Did they even know who he was? His background and the kind of man he is?Jade quietly sat at the back seat of the Mercedes with Xavier right beside her, busy with his laptop again.She was trying to process everything and gladly he didn't try to intrude.The drive was slow and quiet. She identified some places but seemed lost when the driver took an unfamiliar route.It was deserted but didn't look dangerous or suspicious. Surely he isn't taking her to a dungeon to torture her.After a long drive, the car finally came to a stop.Jade quickly sat up and her door opened.Xavier had his hand stretched out for her but she rolled her eyes and moved to the other door.Her jaws dropped when she got down from the car and it rolled away.Her house is nothing compared to this.It looked like heaven.Too big for just one man.He had security and servants everywhere. Like a hotel.B
She just met him hours ago and he is already talking about marriage?Jade stared down at him in confusion.Either he is mad or she is losing her mind.She thought he'll have his fun and end this madness but the more he talks, the more she realizes the mess she'd found herself in.This isn't a joke.The look on his face said it all but part of her wished it was all a dream.Never in her life had she thought of marriage. She doesn't even know what marriage is or how to be in one."We will get married in a week" He stated."You must be joking," She said angrily."Sit down," He commanded. She slowly sat."I won't marry you""Now this is where you're getting it wrong. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. And you better don't make a fuss because you know exactly what I'm capable of" He brought out his phone and showed her a video of her parents being followed by snippers.She tried to take the phone but he moved it out of her reach. "Stop!" She almost cried."You are gonna do as I say not
Jade woke up with a start due to a noise in her room.Maria was taking out her clothes from the closet."What are you doing!?" She sat up with a yawn."Good morning ma'am. I'm cleaning" Maria gave her a little bow."What? You think my things are trash or what!? That blouse you're holding costs more than your life!" Jade angrily jumped down the bed and roughly snatched her things away making the poor girl jump in fear."And I'll pay for them," Xavier said from behind. Jade quickly turned and saw him standing near her bed.How didn't she see him there?"Don't you have the decency to wake me up from sleep before touching my things?" She said to him."Next time, wake up early" he answered. Jade looked at her alarm clock. Five minutes past eleven."And so what? I don't do anything except sleep, eat and walk around and why the fuck are you taking out my things?" She angrily walked to him."I'll replace them with something I like," he simply said."I'm the one wearing them, what about what I
Jade knew it was now or never. She needed to escape, else her life would be a living hell.She took a deep breath before gently knocking on the door.Whatever she planned to do, she has to be smart about it.She heard the clicking of the door and it slowly opened on it own.Jade walked into Xavier's room. He looked busy with some papers and his laptop."You want something?" He asked without turning to her."Um...I um...are you busy? I can come by later" She stammered."What do you want?" He finally turned to her with an arched brow. This is definitely not the time to ask for favors. He was either angry or stressed."I...never mind" She turned to leave but the door shut before she reached it."You missed me?" He walked to her."No!""Too bad" He gave her a small smile"I mean...You look...tired and I dont want to disturb you really" She stepped back."Isn't sweet you care about me?" He followed her."I don't! I...mean I wanted to ask if I could go to the mall but you're really busy" S
The woman's scent danced aggressively in the dark night of New York, almost choking Jade."Carrie" Xavier gestured for her to come over. "How was your flight?"Carrie majestically walked to them and dropped her purse on the table."Relaxing!" She looked at Jade with a frown but turned to him with a smile."So Raquel was right after all" "Jade, this is Carrie. She is one of my subordinates and Carrie, Jade. She is my fiancée" He introduced. Jade offered a handshake but Carrie didn't take it."Nice to meet you, again" Carrie threw her a fake smile."You know each other?" He asked looking from one woman to the other."She bumped into me at the mall and ruined a five thousand dollar blouse" Carrie smiled. "But don't worry, I don't hold grudges. We are good, right Jade?" Jade ignored her."Why don't you freshen up and your dinner will be served in your room?" Xavier changed the topic."This looks fine to me. I'll just eat a little and call it a night" Jade maintained a practiced smile. X
Jade tossed around the bed in awkward positions.One of her legs was sticking out of the duvet while her hair was in mess on a pillow.She mubbled something and finally sat up and the brightness from the french windows almost blinded her.Of course! That was why she was uncomfortable.Her eyes finally rested on the mannequin that stood in the middle of her room.She scuffled out of bed to admire the dress on it.“Wow" She couldn't deny the fact that it was a very pretty dress, and expensive too!She definitely knows expensive when she sees it. Plus she's in Xavier's house and he doesn't like to hide his riches.It was a black dress embroidered with black precious stones and pearls.What caught her attention was the veil.Jade had to move around it to get a better look.That was when she realized how long it was and her jaw dropped.“Holy shit!" She stared at it, trying to deny what her brain was saying.“Yes, that's your wedding dress" Xavier said which made her jump.She turned to se
“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
