Jade snuck around the house, carefully watching Carrie and every move she took. That was how jobless she has recently become. But it wasn't actually joblessness. She was on a mission, a really quiet mission. That was when she noticed Xavier walk into the house. Finally! Her husband finally decided to come back home after a week. Where has he been? He refused to tell her anything and she suspected it had to do with the bombs. Jade quickly hid when Xavier and Raquel walked closer to her. “Where's my wife?" He asked. “Which of them?" Raquel asked and Xavier looked at her. “What?" She tried not to laugh. “Fine, she is in your room." “Okay, just keep her safe and never let her know about Zane. She can never find out, you know how she gets regarding things like this.” He said. “Just keep it low. I will handle Zane myself.” “Yes sir.” Raquel nodded. “Zane isn't a man to be messed with, and he is obviously after Jade.” Jade's heart stopped beating as she watched them walk past her
“Jade!" Chase called from a distance. " Jade, what are doing here!?” He looked excited to see her. " It's been a while.”Her bodyguards shielded her from Chase." It's okay boys.” She said to them and hugged Chase when they moved out of her way. " Yeah, long time. How are you doing?”" I'm dope. Wasn't expecting you here. Xavier didn't say a word.” Chase admiringly stared at her." Yeah, it was impromptu.” She smiled." I'm hungry, are you hungry?” He asked. " Not really…" “We have amazing food here. It's just in the next building, c’mon." He insisted.“Um, okay. I guess I could eat." She followed him while her bodyguards followed behind.“How have you been with the whole Carrie drama thing?” He asked once they were done eating." Well, not sure if I want to talk to you about that. You two are friends.” Jade shrugged." But I thought we are already friends?” He sighed. " I was thinking over myself I guess.”Jade's phone rang." I am with Chase. I got hungry so he took me to get some
Jade's jaw slowly dropped.“Xavier always had everything! Loving parents, affectionate grandparents. Even my own parents loved him more than their own son. They sent me to Europe for studies while they personally trained him in their home. They gave him all the love I never got.”Chase turned to look at her.“So why are you taking it out on Xavier? It wasn't his fault…”“But it was! Becoming the Mafia Lord was all I ever dreamt of! He never wanted any of this! He wanted to travel the world! He wanted to see the world but his fate was already decided by the Mafia. He was given the family fortune. Every single thing was signed in his name. They made him Lord over us.” Chase concluded.“Still doesn't make it his fault.” She defended her husband.“I told him how much I wanted it. He knew. All he had to do was reject it and it'll be passed down to the next heir, me. But he took it. He took everything and made me a doormat. Like I was nothing!” He poured another glass of alcohol. “And he ma
Xavier pulled the trigger and shoot Chase right in the shoulder.“Fuck!" Jade gasped. “Xavier, please stop!" Xavier didn't spare her a glance. His eyes was fixed in his cousin's eyes.“I've always known you're a killer, I saw it in your eyes everyday since we were kids." He smiled. “C'mon, you know you want to do this." Jade vigorously shook her head.No, Chase can't die. Not with the secret.Xavier shot Chase again, in his second shoulder.And three more bullets in his stomach.“Xavier!" Jade screamed as she looked at Chase who was soaked in nothing but blood.The next bullet went into his chest.Jade stared in disbelief. How will she make Xavier see the truth now?He just killed her only key to exposing Carrie.Xavier walked to Chase, pulled him by the hair and turned him to face Jade.Chase's eyes weakly settled on her as he felt life slowly leaving his body.Blood flowed out of his nose and mouth.“I am your lord." Xavier said into his ears. “Let your soul beg her for mercy, jus
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
“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 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,
It is said that the person you consider your friend can also stab a knife to your back. All her life, she always got what she wanted. Being an only child, mummy's favorite and daddy's little princess. Her parents were rich enough so they fulfilled her heart desires with a smile every single time. But the look on their faces as they sat opposite her in the living room and the inability to look her in the eyes said it all. She was still in denial but no matter how many times she asked them, their answer remained the same. "The company is dying! We are bankrupt" Her father said but he maintained his composure. His black hair had a little touch gray with light wrinkles around his eyes but his beard was completely gray. "I still don't get why you 'sold' me!?" She angrily shouted. She was still in her pajamas but her long brown hair neatly flowed down her back. "Jade, we had to do the next best thing for our company" her mother replied instead. "The next best thing would be s
