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" She smiled.

"Yeah, I'm busy I can't go with you" He went back to his desk.

Jade rolled her eyes.

"You can go alone if you want" He searched one of the drawers.

"Really!?" She asked and he walked back to her.

"Why not? Here" He placed a golden card in her hand. "Buy whatever you want" He kissed her on the cheek and went back to his work.

"How much do you have in here?" She found herself asking.

He swirled his chair around. "I'm sure it'll cover whatever you want to buy" He laughed.

"And I can go alone?" She asked again.

"Yeah. Maybe I'll join in next time. A driver is available and you can take which ever car you want" He dismissively said.

Why was he super nice?

Did he just give her permission to out on her own with a card that may contain millions?

Jade choose a red Ferrari that drove her to her desired mall.

She walked around for some minutes and finally bought ice cream and doughnuts.

She countlessly felt watched and tried to smartly look around but she got nothing. Jade finally sat and looked around.

Someone was definitely watching her but who? Nobody looked suspicious. Everyone was having a great time.

On her way to get another round of ice cream and doughnuts, Jade bumped into someone and mistakenly stained the lady with ice cream.

"Can't you watch where you're going?" The lady angrily looked at Jade.

"I wouldn't have bumped into you if you were watching where you were going" Jade gave her a napkin but she only threw her a dirty look.

"Keep that diseased thing away from me" She looked down on her white blouse. "Mannerless people! You don't eat while you walk, is that so hard?" She brought out a clothe and cleaned herself.

"Okay don't you dare insult me" Jade angrily said.

"Else what?" The woman threw a challenging look.

Jade assessed the lady. She was about her age, slim, tall with a nice curvy body. She wore cargo pants and a white turtle neck blouse with a Gucci handbag.

"You don't want to see me angry" Jade replied. The lady gave her a head to toe look.

"I don't have the time to spare with some spoilt brat"

"And who's to say?"

"I don't need to be told. Your distasteful choice of dress, poorly made hair and that awkward ring on your finger. I'm sure your dad found you an old billionaire who easily won their affection in exchange for you. That is what you girls do these days. They threw you into his disgusting arms to make some coins out of you obviously" She said to Jade.

"How dare you!?" Jade became red.

"Oh shut up! I know your type. You're nothing but a social climber and a fortune hunter" She roughly pushed Jade and walked away.

After few hours at the mall, Jade finally went back to the house.

The words of the lady at the mall kept ringing in her head.

How can you be so rude to a total stranger?

She was bitter but what has that got to do with her? Or have they met before and she is holding some kinda guilt?

"No, I don't know her and I've never met her" Jade said to herself dropping her purse on the bed.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

'Distasteful choice of dress'

But Xavier bought this dress for her and he made it clear he liked it. So why was a stranger's words gettimg to her?

Maybe the woman was right.

Her parents did sell her off to save the company so in a way, they used her.

Jade took off her ring and placed it on the vanity.

She curled up in her bed with closed eyes as tears soaked the pillow.

"Wake up" She felt someone poke her and when she opened her eyes, Xavier was standing few inches away from her bed.

"I want to sleep" She turned to the other side of the bed.

"It's seven" He stated. "Let's have dinner. I'll run you a bath" All she heard was his footsteps and after a while, silence. "Jade" He coldly called.

"What is it!" She angrily sat up. "Stop choking me okay? First you bought me and now you're forcing me to marry you. You locked me up and I don't have a family anymore! God I hate you so much!" She jumped off the bed and slammed the bathroom door.

Jade quietly ate her food with Xavier sited across her.

"How was the mall?" He broke the silence.

"Can you stop? 'We' are not a real thing. This is all fake so quit pretending like we are a happy couple" She poured herself whiskey.

"I told you not to rake your ring off" He placed it across the table. She angrily put it back on.

"It is too heavy and it gives people the wrong idea about me!" She dropped her fork.

"Like?"

"Gold digger. Fortune hunter" She listed.

"Isn't that true?" He arched his left brow.

Jade stared at him shockingly. She never asked him for anything. She is only here with him because he forced her to.

So how is she a social climber?

"You forced me to come with you. I didn't ask you for anything. So how am I a gold digger?" She was obviously pained by his words.

She was never an opportunist so why the hell will someone judge her like that?

And the fact that he was sitting right there acting like all these is normal was killing her.

"Your parents sold you to me so technically, all of you are gold diggers and in a way, you profited too. Isn't it also your company?" He smiled.

"I'm not responsible for what my father did. Goodnight" She stood up but he held her arm and pushed her into her seat.

"I'm not done talking" He glared at her.

"Hey Xavier" A sweet voice made them both turn towards the doors of the balcony.

    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."

    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

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.

    Jade didn't have a hard time convincing Xavier to go to the seafood restaurant with her.“You know, we could just stay in and I promise to make you feel really good" Xavier complained on their way to the restaurant.She loved the way they walked in the sand, under the bright stars.“No. I'm tired of staying in" She wrapped her hands around his waist. “Don't you wanna go out with me? Are you ashamed or you just wanna pick work over me" “Fine!" He tickled her, making her jump with a giggle.“Xavier Stone!" She exclaimed.“Whoa…the full name now, huh?" He tickled her some more until she got away from him.“Stop it! If you fail to notice, we are in public!”" Isn't that what you wanted?” He smiled."Stop being a rascal!”They walked into the restaurant and placed their orders." I'm not really a big fan of seafood” They way he made his face when he tasted the food made her laugh." What? It makes my throat…" “...Say yikes" She completed the sentence with a sad smile, making Xavier look

    Jade quickly put on her knittens and opened the small oven in her tiny kitchen.The hot air lightly hit her face as she pulled out a tray of baked bread.She smiled to herself for such an achievement because she was still learning and had a long way to go.“Oh my!" She quickly dropped it on the kitchen counter and rushed to the pot on the fire, turning it off.She breathed a breath of relief when she realized her beef didn't burn at all.“Now for my soup" She picked her basket with a smile and headed out of the cabin door.Her little cabin stood on a little hill.She was so glad she got it the moment she found this place. It was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful meadows.With simple farm sandals and a weaved basket in her hand, she set out for the nearby market.She was surrounded by mostly farms so everyone buys fresh food from the market.She located her favorite stand in an instant.Jade hadn't been here no less than a month but she was already well acquainted with the whole tow

    “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?

    “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
