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
If only angels were real. No, not an angel, he is a god! His face looked fragile yet deadly. He looked like a masterpiece crafted by the softest hands and finest stone. Jade couldn't take her eyes off him. The way he looked at her sent fireworks through her veins. She disconnected the eye lock and her eyes moved down to his succulent lips. "You wanted to escape?" He asked. All she saw was his lips moving. He was saying something but she heard nothing. She felt the heat radiating from his body and the tightness of his muscles around her. Was she still in his arms? Well, it felt right. What is more than being saved by the most beautiful creature on earth? "Were you trying to escape?" He hoarsely asked again and this time, she heard him. He said it with such a voice that sent chills down her spine. It matched his appearance and sounded like a melody. Sexy, yet sinister. "Um...No! I was just enjoying the view but I lost my footing" She stared up at him. He gave her a faint s
In the whole of her existence, Jade never felt confused.Is this the man she's gonna probably spend the rest of her life with?He drew away from her with a deadly smirk."I have more important things to take care of" He walked past her."Wait!" She ran behind him but he didn't stop."Listen! I have a better proposition" She tapped him from behind."Better than the deal I already have with your father?" He stopped and turned to her but she bumped into him."Ouch!" She breathed."You go to the gym?" He gave her a quick head to toe look."Um...can't see how that's relevant but no. Well, sometimes" She shrugged."Good""So about the proposition… Why don't I work for you. For free! That way, I can slowly pay off my parent's debt" She said. He put his hands in his pockets."Unless you want to work for me forever" He turned and walked away."I can do more!" She chased after him but he didn't stop until he kicked the front door to her house open."Hudson" He said to Jade's father who immediat
Jade flushed and her heart raced. She felt his palm burn into her soul when he placed his hand on her waist.He used his free hand to seductively trace her chin, jaw and finally, her lips.She was scared because of the dark look in his eyes but mostly because of the heat in between her legs.Xavier slowly drew away from her and she turned to the window again.Maybe the best thing is never to ask him any question that may or may not trigger her libido.The car came to a sudden stop and she sat up only to realize that they pulled over on the tarmac."Where are we going?" She frowned."My home in New York" He simply stated and got out and before he could reach her door, she already jumped out."What do you mean by 'my home in New York'?!" She exclaimed. "I don't want to leave Brooklyn!" She angrily said."What I want is the only thing you should think of '' He roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. "And the last thing you want is the head of your mother wrapped in a little nice b
Her parents might have made the biggest mistake ever.How could they have anything to do with such a dangerous man?Did they even know who he was? His background and the kind of man he is?Jade quietly sat at the back seat of the Mercedes with Xavier right beside her, busy with his laptop again.She was trying to process everything and gladly he didn't try to intrude.The drive was slow and quiet. She identified some places but seemed lost when the driver took an unfamiliar route.It was deserted but didn't look dangerous or suspicious. Surely he isn't taking her to a dungeon to torture her.After a long drive, the car finally came to a stop.Jade quickly sat up and her door opened.Xavier had his hand stretched out for her but she rolled her eyes and moved to the other door.Her jaws dropped when she got down from the car and it rolled away.Her house is nothing compared to this.It looked like heaven.Too big for just one man.He had security and servants everywhere. Like a hotel.B
