Jade looked up at Maria, trying to process what she just said as she waited for the servant girl to repeat herself. “Ma'am, please…” “Repeat what you just said.” Jade shut the book she was reading and jumped off the bed but the door flung open. The two ladies looked towards the door as Xavier walked in. “Didn't you get my message?” He huskily asked. Maria walked out to give them privacy. Jade frowned a little. “And when did we start eating together at the dining table?” “There's always a first time for everything.” He replied, briefly looking at her pajamas. “You have five minutes to get downstairs. “I don't want to be anywhere close to Carrie, you know that so what the hell are you playing at?” Jade angrily asked. “There's absolutely no reason why I'd eat with her. I'm trying to keepy sanity intact but it's almost as if you want me to lose my mind.” “The child in Carrie's belly is as good as yours. Don't keep me waiting.” He replied. Jade breathed and called Maria back when
Jade handed her yoga bag to Maria as Denzel opened her bedroom door. “How was today's session?” Maria asked. Jade has been disturbingly silent since Carrie moved into the house days ago. She even started yoga and meditation to improve her mental health and keep her mind off Xavier's betrayal. Jade knew deep down it's either she breaks or she destroys everything around her. And if it ever comes down to a decision, she will fucking annihilate everything! Because she can't afford to break. “It was nice. Join me sometimes.” She smiled at her. “Run me a bath, will you?” “Yes, ma'am.” Maria bowed and did as ordered. Jade walked to the bed when she spotted a gift box in the middle of the bed. “Maria? Do you know who left this?” She picked it. “Left what?” Maria walked out of the closet and watched her unwrap the present. “No, I have no idea.” Jade rolled her eyes when she pulled out a phone. “It's an iPhone.” Maria happily said. “It's from Xavier.” She threw away the card th
Jade quickly went downstairs when she heard some funny noise." What happening?” She asked with a frown. Maria was right behind her.There were balloons and flowers in different colors.Jade walked to Carrie who held a pad and a pen.“Oh hey Jade! Future co-wife.” Carrie happily teased her." What are you doing to my house?” Jade ignored her obvious pretense. " What's the meaning of all these?”" Oh, you were not informed? Well, my fiance had already set a date for our wedding. The invites will be brought in tomorrow.” Carrie said with a huge smile." Wedding?” Jade was shocked to the bones. She knew Xavier said he'd marry her but she didn't expect it to be so soon or he'd actually go through with it.“I know it's hard for you right now but remember the other day? When you said I should ask for your help when I need it? Well, you can help me pick out my wedding dress. I'm finding it difficult to pick one for the biggest day of my life..” Carrie stopped when Jade turned and headed for
Red rashes started growing on her parents rapidly.“I can't breathe!" Her father started gasping as she dialed someone and placed the phone on her ears. “Please hang in there!" She cried." Oh Lord! Look at your skin!” Her mother held out her hand, which boils were growing on.Carrie shouted in horror while Jade quickly climbed down the stairs.“Calm down, Carrie." Jade worriedly said.“Calm down!? This is all your fault! Look at my hands! I have boils over…” Carrie froze in terror when she touched her face and felt boils on them too.Jade snapped her fingers. " Help them!” She said to her staff. " Get something to ease the pain.”Xavier shortly walked down stairs, confused as to what happened.Jade and Maria were standing at the side while Carrie was crying next to her father who was finding it difficult to breath but was helped by one of the staff.Carrie ran to him. " Look at me!” She cried. " I'm hideous! Look at what Jade did to my parents!” " Excuse you?” Jade answered." You
A smile fell across her face when she read the card.‘On the balcony’She picked the red sexy dress he got for her for the dinner and placed it on her body, looking in the huge mirror in her room.“That's beautiful." Maria admired her.Jade nodded in agreement.She was so happy Xavier decided to do something special for her. And she won't deny it, she really missed her husband.So Jade took a quick shower even when she'd taken her bath few minutes ago.As usual, she didn't wear any panties nor bra, she likes to make the fuck very easy. She applied red lipstick and walked to the balcony they usually have dinner whenever he feels like doing something romantic for them.Rose petals gracefully carpeted the floor as she made her way to the table for two.There as a violinist already making melodies with his instrument while the cold breeze played with the lit candles.A suited man drew out her chair and poured her some of the champagne.All she wanted was Xavier. Why isn't he here alread
*Flashback*(Jade's POV)Justin pulled out a chair for me and I sat happily.I am always excited when I get to spend time with him and sometimes wish I could just have him all to myself.The dates and sneaking around wasn't just enough for me anymore although it is all my fault. I wanted more but couldn't, well not right now.Justin looked around the restaurant and back to me.It was obvious he has something to say but kept it in instead.“Are you okay?” I asked, trying to get him say whatever was on his mind.“It's nothing.” He picked up the menu.“What do you want to eat?”“Are you really not gonna tell me?” I frowned a little.The last thing I wanted was a bad date. As if limited dates weren't enough?“What's the point? It won't change a single thing.” He shrugged and angrily dropped the menu with a low sound.I studied him for a while. Justin hardly gets angry and when he eventually does, it was usually for a very good reason and I can't remember doing anything to upset him.“Are
All she could do was to try and live but recently, she doesn't know how to do that anymore.Walking around the house and trying to make sense of everything became her lifestyle.She was like a zombie with no direction, no thoughts whatsoever. She knew she was hurting and deep down in her heart, she knew at some point, she wouldn't be able to keep it all in anymore.She had already come in terms with Xavier's betrayal and tried as hard as possible to tolerate Carrie.After that unpleasant night that Xavier ditched her at the balcony and she almost ran mad in her room, she began to doubt if he ever cared about her feelings.“I told you already! I'm fine…and the baby too! Just listen…I know…it was an accident and my parents are fine now…I'm good too, just a little bit of rashes as side effect…”Jade stopped when she heard Carrie's voice. She quickly hid behind a pillar on her way to the kitchen downstairs.“We've talked about calling me when I'm over here…No, you can't do that…okay liste
*Flashback*(Jade's POV)“Why are you ignoring me?” I asked immediately he opened the door for me.I did a quick look around the house and realized he was alone.I frustratingly followed him to his room. “I'm talking to you.”“What do you want me to say?” He finally turned to me when I locked the door behind me.“I want you to explain yourself! You didn't return my calls or replied my messages.”“You denied me two days ago.” He stated.“C’mon!” I angrily sighed. “Really? Justin you know why!”“I don't! No I don't. They are your friends so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't tell them the truth.” He snapped. “I sat there like a fool!”“Justin, I'm sorry. Please but you should understand.” I pleaded. “ You know I'll never intentionally hurt you like that, I'm sorry.”“And the fact that you just stood and left me?” He angrily asked.“I had to!” I said. “I couldn't afford to let them suspect anything.”He raked his fingers through his hair. “I went to visit you today. I saw you with
“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
