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
Xavier shifted a little in the bed he was in. He smelled fishy and salty air around him when he drew in a breath. Gently opening his eyes, he looked around. It was a very small room that consists of a little table and the bed he was in. How did he end up here? Who brought him here and why was there? Questions kept running through his mind but then, the door opened and he quickly partially shut his eyes. Jade walked in with a bowl of water and a piece of cloth. Xavier secretly watched her as she sat beside him and soaked the cloth in water. ‘What is she doing?’ He asked himself. She pressed the cloth to his forehead and repeated on his face and neck. He completely forget he was injured. He could still feel the pain in his chest but it wasn't as bad as before. That was when he remembered what happened in Iraq and how they escaped but then, their boat sank in a river and the last thing he remembered was Jade, seriously crying as her tears dropped on his face while she said s
Jade loudly giggled as Xavier lifted her to his shoulder.“What are you doing!?” She laughed. “Someone may see.”“No one is here.” He tickled her some some.“Xavier! Stop!” He walked to the room and dropped her on the bed.Two days, he'd only been awake for two days and didn't hesitate to show his naughty and horny side.“Ibrahim and his brother went for Salah while their parents are in the market. I'm pretty sure we are on the clear.” He looked down at her.She had herself to be blamed because it all started when she joined him in the shower but Xavier decided to switch things up when he saw her naked.She still couldn't believe he carried her all the way from the shower to the room, naked!Jade silently admired his sexy body.He lifted her foot to his mouth and placed tiny kisses on her toes. The sensation traveled down her leg.Xavier took his time to place light kisses as he found his way to her body. He kissed his way to her thighs, placed another one on her waist just above her
*Flashback*(Jade's POV)After we made love for the very first time, I refused to go back home although Justin wanted to take me back countlessly.I just didn't want to leave him because I fear that I might lose him the moment I took my eyes off him but he always assured me I won't lose him.Justin became like the skin on my body. Like the blood that flowed in my veins. Like every fibre that connects every cell in my body.“Jade?" I heard his voice say my name in a very lazy tone. “I'm not in the mood to seek you today, again." I love it when I hide from him and he has to look for me.It's really hard to hide in his house because he knows it too well so I learned a new way to never get caught.Moving slowly, I crept under the only table in the living room when I heard his footsteps getting closer.“C’mon, Jade. I just wanna cuddle, it's cold out here." He sighed and I heard him go back to the room and I used that chance to quickly dash out of the house.He probably went in to get a s
All she needed to do was stick to the instruction her gave her; hide and don't come out no matter what. But she just had to do what her heart pleased.Typical Jade.Why didn't he see this coming?Why didn't he just take her with him?He knows her to well so he should have predicted she'd still disobey him.He quietly killed some of the gun men that invaded the boathouse and was trying to kill another one when he heard his name lingering with desperation in the salty air.It was the sweet voice of his wife, screaming his name with her delicious mouth.And then he got distracted and the gunman he was sneaking up on heard it too and ran to the deck.When he ran to the window, he saw her standing on the deck.It was so quick he couldn't do anything about it as he watched the bullet travel to his wife's body on the deck.All he could do was shout her name and ask her to move but instead, she turned to him with a smile and took the bullet which sent her into the water.Her body fell slowly
“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
