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
