A frown appeared on her face. “Help me up.” He said and she did. He moved to lean against the wall of the cave. “Why do we need to leave?” She finally asked. “It's not save.” He breathed. “You're not strong enough to move,” She adjusted the blanket on him. “We've been here for days. They are probably still looking and close enough. We can't stay here.” He explained. “We are save here. Nobody will find us. We are not moving until you get better.” She sternly said. He only looked at her. “You see that?” She pointed at the plank that was lying next to him. “I used that to move you around, I'm not doing it again. My toes are sore and I haven't eaten a single good meal in days.” “I'll get you out of here and take care of you.” He assured her. All she cared about was taking care of him instead and finding a way back home. Xavier's injury slowly but effectively healed as the days went by and Jade could never be happier although he was still sick and she hoped it wasn't an infection
Xavier entered the rock shelter and sat down in pain, leaning on the wall. He has been holding back the pain because he didn't want to alert his wife.Knowing Jade too well, she'll only overreact.He picked the container of herbal cream and angrily smashed it on the other wall of the cave.He forgot to ask her where she got the goddamn cream from.Did she sell her wedding ring again?Xavier felt restless and sat up.What if she never comes back to him?He was so stupid to just let her go on her own. What if she acts on impulse and decides to run away from him?He had no idea exactly where they were but he definitely knows what part of the world they where and he didn't tell Jade.Xavier quickly got up to his feet and grabbed his shirt, ignoring the bleeding wound as he followed her trail.He had a lot of ‘what ifs ‘ playing in his head.What if she gets eaten by a wild animal?Or worse, gets kidnapped again?Xavier looked around, he had no idea what direction to take.This was his fi
“I really have no idea what you are talking about, trust me Jade," Khalil sincerely said. Jade stopped for a moment. She didn't know why but she strangely believed him. “I can help you find him." He offered. If Khalil didn't take him, then who did? Xavier isn't stupid enough to go out there all on his own with a wounded chest when he clearly knew his life was in danger. “Okay." She quickly dashed into the forest. “Xavier!" She called. Tears blinded her as she bumped into few bushes and branches but didn't stop. “Xavier!" Jade knew how dangerous it was to make too much noise in case her kidnapers were nearby but she doesn't care anymore. If he was taken by them, they should as well as take her too. " Xavier!” She wiped her face and looked some more. " Jade!” She heard Khalil call her. He was somewhere in the forest but couldn't see him. " Did you find him?” She immediately stopped in her tracks. " Are you looking for a man covered with tattoos?" His voice sound
lThere was no way she was going to go without Xavier so she followed them on the journey back to the palace.Xavier was tied up, dragged to the throne room and dumped in front of the king.Khalil bowed when he stood before the king and Jade stood beside him.She couldn't believe she followed Khalil back to the palace.Khalil signaled her to bowed and she hesitantly did.She was used to people bowing to her instead, thanks to Xavier. So she felt weird when she bowed to show respect.And aside from that, she never really think it was necessary to bow just to greet a royal personality.Jade didn't like the way the king looked at her.“I must say, Khalil, you made me proud today.” Laughter roared out of the king. “For capturing this animal, you will get a huge reward. Weldone.”" Thank you, your highness.”“And who's your beautiful friend?” The king who sat on his magnificent throne asked. “She is American. She doesn't belong, here dressed like that." He found it offensive that she had
Jade paced around the room. How on earth was she suppose to freshen up when her husband was locked up to be killed? Khalil sounded ridiculous when he brought her to this goddamn room. There was a knock on the door and Khalil walked in. “You still haven't taken your bath?” He looked surprised. “Do you need help? I can send in some servant girls. Everything you need is here…” He walked to the dishes placed on the huge table. “You haven't eaten either.” “How do you expect me to be calm when your father wants to kill him?!” Jade was irritated. “You need to think straight, Jade. My father is a very ruthless king so please, do as I say.” He repeated. “I need you to trust me.” “I will do whatever I have to do to get my husband out of here, alive! And whosoever that attempts to get in my way, I won't hesitate to kill the person.” She threatened. Khalil paused to look at her. “You sound just like him,” He shook his head. “Do you even know who got married to?” “A very ruthless Mafia Lo
Khalil locked the door behind him when he entered Jade's room in the palace.She immediately stood from the bed. “What took you so long?" “My father gave orders for you to be closely watched and I asked him if you could visit Xavier. He accepted but just this one time." Jade sighed with relief. “What's the plan? How will we get him out?" Khalil hesitated.“Tell me." She moved closer to him." I'm willing to help you but I have a condition.” Khalil whispered." Condition?” Jade stared at him with disbelief. " You're just like your father. Y’all always want something in return.” She painfully shook her head." No, listen to me. I'm not like that.” He pulled her closer to him. " I'm not asking you to marry me or do anything for me. I need Xavier's help. If he agrees with my condition, I'll help you both out.”Jade thought for a while. " Then only him can accept. I can't possibly help you with that." “You can convince him. I'd never imagine the Mafia Lord would get married, ever. But
Jade and Xavier stood before a store in a market as she bought some few things.They hurriedly followed the instructions given by Khalil and soon enough, they arrived at a river and got into a boat reserved especially for them.They have been on the run for two days now.Two days ago, Khalil helped them escape from the palace and the king got furious.Khalil was in charge of finding them so he stayed back to mislead his men and give them enough time to run as far as possible.The last time she saw her friend was yesterday when he gave her everything she needed and they parted for good.“Don't worry, I'll row." Jade said to him when he picked the paddles.She hasn't treated his wound for some days now and it's going to be a miracle if it wasn't already infected.Xavier ignored her and paddled.Soon enough, it got dark and they got to their next stop where Khalil kept tents for them and a burnt fire.He was just the best.Jade brought out food and blankets from the bag she came along wi
Jade sat in the boat as far from Xavier as possible as she paddled the boat.She felt a little guilt because she didn't offer him any food in the morning and he didn't ask for any.He also didn't sleep in the tent but in the cold.She turned to look at him and noticed how pale he was turning.His purplish lips looked dry and color drained from them as well.The anger he installed in her last night was still fresh in her soul so she refused to talk to him.They camped out again by the river when night consumed the earth once more.And this time, he sleep in the tent.Jade woke up in the middle of the night when she heard funny noises which turned out to be Xavier's uneven breaths.She felt his temperature and it was too high.“Xavier!" She gently shook him.He was visibly shivering on the inside.Jade quickly checked his wound. ‘It is infected’She quickly sat up, alarmed. “Can you hear me?" No response. Xavier wasn't replying her.What was she to do at this time of the night? They'r
“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
