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 bow" He felt her tremble. "Good girl. I have my men following your parents so never irritate me" He let her go.
Jade looked up at him with fat tears in her eyes.
"You wouldn't!" She bitterly said.
"Try me" He smirked and offered his elbow which she reluctantly took.
He took her to his private jet and soon, they took off.
Jade bade goodbye to her city, friends and parents in her heart.
She may never see them again because she has no clue what her new life will be like with a complete stranger.
Xavier sat opposite her with his pistol on the table between them and all he did was punch his laptop with his headphones on.
"What will it take for you to let me go?" She suddenly asked which made him stop typing.
"When I'm tired of you, I'll let you go" He simply shrugged.
What exactly does he want from her?
Will he make her his sex slave?
She can never be anyone's sex toy!
"You disgust me! You are so pathetic! You're sick!" She said to him but he continued typing.
How the hell can she get to this man!?
No matter what she says, he doesn't react to her insults!
"Animal" She frowned.
A steward walked to them.
"What would you like ma'am?" He politely asked. "Water? Soda? Wine? Champagne? Cocktail…"
"Fuck you and your cocktail!" She cursed at him.
The man blinked but still maintained his smile.
"Whiskey will do" Xavier said to the man without looking at him.
"So, do I get to go out by myself, alone?" She asked.
"Sure," He replied.
Jade smiled.
That means her freedom won't be restricted and she'll do whatever she likes. She can even escape.
Jade thought about different plans to run away from the psychopath sitting opposite her and go back to her parents.
She'll take them so far he will never be able to find them.
"With protection of course" He added after reading her mind. She frowned.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"My men will follow you around to make sure you don't try to escape," He replied.
"What? So I can't live freely now?"
"You are not in shackles..." He simply replied. "..yet. Just behave and you probably never be in one"
"I'm not a prisoner!" She angrily said and looked away from him.
Are her parents aware of the kind of person he is?
Are they aware of the way she'd be treated or don't they give a shit?
He will monitor her every move.
He will make life difficult for her!
Jade felt naked and vulnerable.
She was defenseless and she hated it.
She wasn't used to taking instructions from anybody and now, she has to dance to his every tune else her parents might die.
Xavier drank his whiskey studying Jade over the rim of his glass.
She sadly stared into space and slowly, her eyes became heavy.
She dropped her head a couple of times but finally gave in and slept.
He was even able to get a look at her red panties.
Jade yawned and stretched herself on the expensive leather seat.
What a nightmare.
She yawned again and slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Her eyes finally rested on his icy blues eyes.
Oh shit! It wasn't a nightmare!
She looked away with a sigh.
"I wish you could just disappear," She murmured and sat up.
"Are we there yet?" She tried to look outside the window.
"Yes" He shut his laptop and stood up. "Let's go"
He offered his arm but she stared at it for a second.
"You don't have to act like a gentleman" She rolled her eyes but finally took it.
"I'm no gentleman, trust me" He smiled and led her out of the cabin.
That wasn't a nice smile. It was laced with evil.
She carefully climbed down the stairs only to find multiple men and women dressed in black. Just like the ones at her house.
They stood in rows like the army or something and each of them wore shades.
"My men" He whispered and she nodded.
"Lord" They all said in unison.
'Lord'?
What the hell was going on?
Is this some kind of joke or what?
A cult perhaps?
Jade looked up at the man standing beside her.
He looked calm and collected but strangely dangerous.
The aura around him was that of control and power.
The way he looked at his men with zero emotion or expression was grounding.
He has a presence that demands attention either because he is wealthy or has power.
Who is this man!?
She knew he was wealthy but to what extent?
Does he own all these people? Is he a king? Or a god? What is he?
She looked around again and back at him.
Is Xavier with the mafia?
Jade realized she wasn't dealing with any ordinary man.
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
One way or the other, she must escape today.“I want to go for a drive" Jade informed Xavier the very next day.She felt suffocated staying in her room and having to look at that goddamn dress every fucking time she walked in.She was grateful for it though, it served as a reminder.“ Aren't you supposed to be…”" I'm fine” She said with a little bit of desperation.He granted her the wish and she picked the car of her choice.Jade happily drove out of the mansion knowing that she'll never see it again.When she hit the express, she noticed Xavier's men following from a safe distance.“Of course” She muttered with the roll of her eyes.She knew she can't afford to fail.Soon enough, she got stuck at a traffic light.Perfect!Jade stuck her head out of the window to scan around and finally spotted Lily in a Corolla.She sneakily climbed out of the car and crawled to the other side of the road to meet her friend." Jay!” Lily happily hugged her. " I'm happy to see you. What happened yes
It wasn't like any other day.From the warm milk that caressed her naked body to the red rose petals that danced to the waves.The soft silk robe that hugged her body to the slight raking of the comb through her brown hair.The moisture of the cream melting down her skin to the different texture of brushes sweeping across her face.The soft laughter of the servant girls rhymed with the deafening silence in her head.From the pins in her hair to the cold diamonds around her throat, even down to the oddly comfortable heels that swallowed her feet.The zipping of the dress and the pinning of the veil.Black roses placed in her cold palms as she was led to the Cathedral with a long tail following behind. All she heard was the wedding bells.Wedding bells that signified unity.Wedding bells that signified beginning.Wedding bells that signified happy ending.But her bells only rang with an warning.A known warning.She was dressed in all black.Matching into what seemed to be her beginnin
“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
