*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
“It's been hell in here, I'm mentally exhausted." She said over the phone as she wiped the tears that flowed down her cheeks.“I'm really sorry, Jade." Khalil said at the other end of the line.“You sound wasted, I should've checked on you earlier, I'm sorry.”" It's not your fault Khalil, you are a good man. Unlike my husband.” She sighed." I'm driving to your place right now.” He replied." Really?!” Jade happily smiled. " Yes, I can't bear the sadness I feel in your voice, it's breaking me in two.” Khalil sadly replied. " So get dressed. I'm taking you out.”" Like, on a date?” She inwardly smiled.There was a brief silence on his end. " Would you like it to be a date?”" Um, that sounds fun.” She nodded." So would go out on a date with me?” He smiled." Yes.”Jade quickly picked out a dress.She clearly remembered what happened when she told Xavier that Carrie isn't carrying his child. He was so angry. The images of Xavier kept flashing in her mind.What was she thinking approa
He looked up at her and blew out thick smoke from his nostrils as he drew in another smoke.“You are testing my patience, Jade." “I only went out with my friend, unlike you that got yours pregnant." Jade scoffed. She wished she could take it back but it was too late and for some reason, she was glad those words escaped her mouth.Xavier angrily stood up and walked to her. Jade didn't move as he grabbed her neck.“Go ahead." She said. “We both know one way or the other, you will be the death of me."Xavier glared down at her. " Why do you keep testing my patience?" Jade looked up at him indifferently. “Can't handle a little competition? You brought my own competition into my own house, you have no right to tell me how to behave now, dear husband." He released her with a little push. Jade held her neck with a little cough.There was a thick silence as they both stared at each other.“Quit playing with me, Jade…”" Aren't you tired of threatening me at this point?” She smiled.“ I'm j
“Oops!" Jade was always the sweet and innocent one and she always took advantage of that to bring her down but looking at her right now, there was nothing sweet or innocent about her anymore.The look she saw in Jade's eyes was a little bit terrifying and alarmingly.It was usually the normal hate Jade throws her way or anger in her eyes but this time, it wasn't hate nor anger.It was bitterness laced with vengeance.Carrie fell back with a screech as she rolled down the stairs.“Carrie!" Xavier's voice roared around the house.Jade looked up to see her husband running towards the stairs.She also spotted Maria who looked terrified.Carrie finally landed at the foot of the stairs unconscious and blood dripped out of her nose.Xavier threw his briefcase and quickly picked her up. He paused to look at his wife at the top of the stairs before dashing out.He stopped by the house to pick an important file, only to find Carrie falling down the enormous stairs.It all happened so fast and
Xavier roughly slammed Jade against the wall the moment he walked into her room.“Why did you do it?" He angrily asked." Do what?” Jade stared back at him with a smile." You pushed Carrie off the stairs.”" Is that a question or are you stating a fact?” She replied. " Start talking." He growled.“When it was Aaron's child, you didn't think twice about killing it." She continued." It wasn't my child!”" Neither is the thing in Carrie's womb! So tell me, why should I have pity when you never wanted to save my own child?” She angrily asked." You pushed her, didn't you?” He moved from her with doubt in his eyes." I didn't push her. She fell.” Jade sighed. " She slipped and I couldn't stop it. So go ahead and blame me because your child is involved.”Xavier quietly watched her sit on the bed." It's like I don't know you anymore. I never did of course but now, it feels like you're a completely different person.” She added.Xavier took off his suit jacket. " What happened to the ruth
Jade's head snapped towards the door when a strange man walked in. She looked at Maria who was standing beside her and then turned to the other side to look at Denzel who was on guard. “He is the envoy for the Mafia Lord and other territories.” Maria informed her. " He only deliver messages straight from the Lords and vise versa.” “Good or bad?" Jade frowned. “Mostly good. The bad ones are usually from Mr. Stone to other territories." Maria answered. Jade stood up and waited as the man approached her. “Good day." He simply said without the slightest regard towards her. “What brings you here?" Jade asked. " I'm here to deliver a letter to the Mafia Lord and you're in my way.” He replied, giving her a quick head to toe look. “Let me have it, I'll personally take it to him." Jade insisted. “I'm afraid I can't do that." He answered. “And why not?" She walked around him. " And who the hell are you? Can you stop being a bitch? I'm trying to do my job here. Mr. Stone won't like
Jade wasn't surprised that there weren't any cameras or paparazzi and she understood why.The building was filled with the Mafia and representatives from different territories and they are very big on keeping their identities a secret.Jade was satisfied with the number of heads that snapped her way the moment she stepped into the hall but Xavier inwardly regretted the fact that he brought her along.Not because he is automatically putting her life at risk but because of how most of the men looked at his wife.He made sure she was on his arm at all times and refused to let her be on her own through out the event.“You look absolutely stunning.” He whispered to her.“Don't you think it's a little bit too late for compliments?” She smiled. “I think I've gotten enough compliments today.”Indeed she has. Almost everyone they talked to complimented her, both male and female.“But mine matters the most.” He replied.“Says who?”“Me.” He turned to kiss her in the lips. “Great, you've reduce
Jade breathed a sigh of relief when she found a hair brush in the restroom.She happily brushed her hair with a smile, reminiscing about the hot sex she just had with her husband.She applied some lipstick from her purse and smiled at herself in the mirror.That was when she suddenly heard the door lock from the outside.“Hey!” She tried to open it. “Who's there?! Open the door!”Why would anyone lock her up?!“Evacuate the building immediately! There's a bomb in the building! Everyone get out!”Jade froze when she heard the announcement the first time it sounded in the restroom.“No, oh no!” She panicked and tried the door one more time but it didn't budge. “No, no, no!" She quickly looked for her phone but couldn't find it. “Where the hell is it?" How did she lose her phone? She must have left it in the other room.Jade ran back to the door when the announcement was repeated over and over again.“Help! Somebody help!” Tears filled her eyes.This isn't how she planned to die." Any
“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
