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 because your parents can die any minute you mess up but because you want to, with a smile" He smiled.
"You're a bastard!" She cried.
"True. Anyway, what kind of a fiancé will I be if I don't get you an engagement ring?" He forced the ring around her middle finger. "Never take that off" He ordered.
"Now what?" She wiped her tears.
"Why would you yell at a poor servant girl? I believe she is well behaved" He drank from his glass.
Look at him, sipping his wine and acting like all is well. Like he isn't fucking threatening her!
"She reported me?"
"No, she is your personal servant and I won't change her"
"You should have let me know. She just walked in unexpectedly and I wasn't in the best mood" She replied.
"Here, drink up. You'll feel better" Xavier poured her some wine but she didn't drink it.
"I'm sleepy"
"Shame, I thought we'd chat all night" He dropped his glass.
"Too bad" She threw him a fake smile.
"Goodnight" He stood and walked away.
Jade walked to her room with the two men following her.
Reality has already hit her.
This is not some joke, he is a dangerous man.
If she doesn't do whatever he says, he will kill her parents.
Deep down, Jade knew he could.
And this is the perfect time to run.
She can't marry a monster. She won't be happy in this relationship. What will her friends think of her?
But how will she escape?
The house is security tight. Men and women dressed in black suits everywhere.
Jade slept off thinking of an escape plan and when she woke up I'm the morning, an idea rang in her head.
She was already dressed when she heard another knock on her door.
Maria walked in to her dismay.
"Would you like to have your breakfast now?" Maria asked. Jade rolled her eyes.
"I'll have mine when Xavier will have his" She dismissively waved her hand.
"Um…Ma'am, boss isn't around. He said to make sure you have breakfast" Maria replied.
"Out!" Jade pointed at the door.
"But what about…"
"Get out! I don't want anything!" She shouted at the servant girl who immediately ran out.
Where did he go to this early?
She wanted to put her plan in motion.
Jade went downstairs with her two dedicated bodyguards hot on her tail.
She picked an apple in the kitchen but one of them picked a knife to cut the apple for her.
"Hey hey hey! We are not doing this too. I can cut my own fruit!" She warned them off.
Jade walked around the house over and over again until she mentally grasped the whole concept of the house.
"This is his room?" She stopped at a door on the same floor as her room.
Her bodyguards nodded.
"Missed me?" She jumped and turned around.
The hottest man alive was standing right in front of her.
She wondered why he hasn't fucked her yet.
Isn't that the point of all these?
"In your dreams" She folded her hands.
"Oh you have no idea what my dreams are" He walked to her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
She flushed and salvaged the hot burning sensation his lips left on her cheeks.
"Wanna see my room?" He took her hand and led her into his room locking the door.
Xavier slammed her against the door and lightly kissed her neck. He traced up her arm and played with her bra strap.
"This is my room" He moved away from her.
It took her some seconds to come back to her senses.
Jade walked around the huge room.
It had a king size bed with a side table, a mini bar, a lot of doors leading to God knows where and a balcony.
The marbled floors matched the walls.
Jade sat on one of the couches that made up his mini living room and watched him take off his suit.
"Let me guess, your favorite color is black" She said to him.
"I wonder what gave it away" He turned to her. "Come here" He gestured to her with his two fingers.
Jade lazily but happily walked to him.
He grabbed her by the waist and drew her to himself.
Xavier took his time to inhale her scent and slowly bit her earlobe. He placed a seductive kiss on her jaw and cheek. He kissed her cheekbone, temples, eyebrows and finally placed more on her eyelids.
Jade breathed deeply, closed her eyes and waited for his lips and when it never arrived, she slowly opened her eyes.
He was staring down at her intensely and she could see the lust in his eyes but something held him back.
Jade wrapped her hands around his neck and drew him closer. She was completely turned on and couldn't think. All she wanted was his hands on her.
He kissed her nose and moved back with a smile.
"Have lunch. I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow" He said and opened the door for her.
Jade collected herself and walked out. She felt his eyes all over her and felt ashamed because she knew he could see how turned on and pink she was.
As she sat on her bed, she still wasn't able to understand what happened.
Xavier was so close to her and she couldn't even have him.
He held himself back, but why?
'The question is why do you want him,' her brain whispered to her.
She completely forgot to put her plan into action.
Whenever she is close to him, it is a different feeling on another level.
She loses her senses and can't think straight.
"You hate him! Always remember that! Don't let him seduce you like that!" She fell back into the. bed.
What is happening to her?
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
Excitement was an understatement.She was ecstatic and overwhelmed!This pleasure has definitely replaced the anger and trauma she felt.But for how long.Jade knew it'd last for a very considerable amount of time when she woke up the next day and he was still with her in bed.His arms wrapped protectively around her waist.Their toes mingled and she silently listened to his steady heartbeat.Slowly lifting her head, she adjusted her meesy hair to take a proper look at his face.Jade never liked his piercing but now she realized how nice they looked on him.Even his nose ring was kinda seductive.‘Behave yourself, Jade!’She didn't know if it was because she got laid or she as actually meant it.Then his tattoos caught her attention.All these tattoos should have a meaning right?But what kind of experience made him get all that?Were they good or bad?How many times or how bad can a man really get hurt?She traced from the little upsidedown crucifix just below his left eye down to hi
Jade felt the rush of adrenalin in her bloodstream and the cold air roughly brush pass her face.She stopped to catch her breath.She has been doing more of this morning run for a good amount of days now since Xavier decided to completely neglect her for his work.And she couldn't help but notice it was because of someone in particular.Who could that be? Who is taking away his attention?A he or she?Carrie mentioned it was a he the other time.She wasn't really sad because she expected it. She was in on this only for the fuck anyways.Jade felt her head turn and nauseousness settled in her gut.Her mouth turned sour and she felt dizzy.She held her abdomen as she fell to her knees and vomited close to the water.Why is she feeling like shit?Jade stood to her feet but still felt dizzy. Her head light and she didn't feel her body.“Look who we have here" Carrie jogged to her.Great, she wished for her husband and this one shows up.“I don't have your time, Carrie" Jade simply stated.
