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
Jade stared at the woman right in front of her. The pain in her arm forgotten, her husband who stood beside her invisible.Her hand swang in the air to hit the other woman across the face.How dare her make such claim?She saw how Carrie held her cheek and looked at her in greater shock.Words tried to escape her mouth but in vain.Fists dropped to her sides as she remembered that night in the suite.Jade moved back in fear.She caught them both in bed and now, Carrie is claiming to be carrying Xavier's child.So what if her claim was true?Jade subconsciously placed a hand on her belly as she turned to look at Xavier who was saying something to her but all she saw was his moving lips and a horror silence.No, no this can't happen to her.“It's not my child." She heard Xavier say to Carrie.“It can't be my child." “And what do you mean by that? We hade sex.." “I can't remember a thing so how do you expect me to believe that?" He angrily replied.“You know I'll never do anything to h
The smile looked sour as tears welled up in her eyes.At that moment, she didn't care if she looked weak or miserable in the presence of Carrie.Bitterness gathered in a lump behind her throat and she turned pale.The pained look on her face turned her smile into a sad one.No matter how hard she tried to say something, words failed her. Her mouth opened only to close.Carrie took the paper from her and read it too.She happily looked over to Xavier, handing over the paper to him.He didn't take it. The pained look on his wife's face told him everything he needed to know.“See? I told you I wasn't lying." Carrie sat back down. “I mean no harm." She enjoyed the look on Jade's face so much.The two women waited for him to speak but he just sat in the silence.“The only reason why I came here in the first place was because I knew I was carrying your child." Carrie said to him. “And there's no way I'm gonna let my child grow up without a father." Jade closed her hot eyes.“My child deser
“Khalil…” Jade breathed a whisper and a wide smile spread on her face. “He kept his promise.”“Khalil is on his way.” She looked at Jade's dress.“Oh my gosh! I'm completely deranged!” Jade exclaimed. “We have to get new clothes and dry my hair.”Raquel only chuckled.“Take me to the nearest boutique!" Jade jumped into the car.Few minutes later, Jade had already tried a dozen of clothes but none suited her preference.“Just pick anyone already!" Raquel said frustratingly. She had no other option than to stay.Jade shortly came out with another dress.It tightly fitted her slender body, seductively exposed her left thigh and also showcased most of her round breasts.“I don't think I should wear anything sexy. Where he comes from, woman dress decently. But Xavier would love this…” Jade paused with a smile. “Xavier will love this!” She repeated with an evil smirk.“You want to get back at Xavier by seducing another man who happens to be his enemy?" Raquel smiled. “I'm impressed." “If
