Chapter 20 - Trauma

Angry drivers cursed at Tyler as he maneuvered the car and swerved to another lane cutting some cars in the process. Jade didn't know when and how long she shut her eyes. Her body was shaking and her breathing was erratic. "We're here," Tyler announced, pulling Jade out of her shock. Breaking down, Jade wept for a while and when she finished letting out her frustration, lifting her head she stared at him. "I want a divorce," the words that came out of her mouth caused Tyler to exude a terrifying aura."We aren't getting divorce until we have completed our mission," he said and slammed the steering wheel. The sound of his fist slamming the steering wheel made Jade jump as it evoked fear she felt when she witnessed her parents being murdered. The scene when her parents were killed replayed in her mind. Hidden by her parents in the closet when their house was raided by uniformed men. Almost, cutting her tongue, biting it to smother her scream, Jade watched the men brutally tortured

Chapter 21 - His Girlfriend

Jade saw his tender gaze but didn't think so much about it thinking that she was just seeing things and closed her eyes. She waited for Tyler to leave before opening her eyes, but he remained seated at the edge of the bed. "Go and wash your face. The dinner will get cold," Tyler said and walked away when she refused to look at him. Jade tried to decipher the emotion in his tone but couldn't decode it and didn't have the right term to identify it. Jade got up from the bed and it was only then that she remembered what had happened in the car. Three minutes later, she walked into the kitchen. Landing her gaze on the sumptuous meal served on the table, she couldn't help but widened her eyes in surprise. She recognized that it was the ingredients she bought in the supermarket. "Did you ask someone to cook all of this?" Jade couldn't stop from asking. "No," Tyler shook his head. "You know how to cook?" All the more Jade's widened eyes got wider. "Do I look like someone who doesn't

Chapter 22- Her Past

She's a surgeon and it wasn't her first time seeing a man half naked. During her residency she saw several males lying on the operating table half naked and sometimes wearing nothing. And she didn't feel embarrassed. What she felt isn't the same, with her husband on paper, practically flaunting his hot body, she felt her stomach flip."Where are you going," she heard Tyler asked, Jade stopped in her tracks but dared not to look back. "I forgot something in the living room," Jade lied and quickly went out of the room. A smirk was found on his face as he knew she was fleeing. Tyler found her reaction adorable each time she saw his body. Was she so loyal and faithful to her boyfriend that she wouldn't want to look at his body? Why did she agree to marry him if she was loyal and faithful to him? Wait, isn't he missing? She hired a detective to find him. His smirk morphed into a frown at the thought that she was willing to pay a hefty amount just to find him. Jade returned to her r

Chapter 23 - Doing Her Duty As a Wife

"Please, don't startle me when I'm cooking, I nearly dropped the pan," chiding him while she placed the pancake on the plate. Jade took a cup from the cupboard, filled it with warm water before placing it before him. "Drink before we eat." When he just stared at the warm water in front of him, Jade spoke again. "It's good for your health."Naturally, he believed her because she's a doctor. He picked up the cup and drank the warm water. Jade served the food she prepared and put food on Tyler's plate like a wife performing her duty. "Thank you," Tyler smiled and took a bite of the pancake. "Coffee?" Jade asked. "Yes, black coffee," he replied, then looked at his plate and ate. Jade poured coffee on the mug and placed it before him. "I'm going to the hospital after breakfast," Jade said, breaking the thick silence in the room. "You don't have to go with me," Jade added right away before he could speak. Tyler glanced at her briefly and looked the other way. He was pensive. After

Chapter 24 - Naive

"Tyler!" Jade's crystal clear blue eyes almost popped out of the socket and her heart pounded her chest that it almost jumped out of her chest. The color of her face could be likened to a ripe tomato. ‘What a scoundrel!’ Jade’s brain screamed. Tyler felt satisfied as they were even now. She took his first kiss three months ago. He never kissed anyone, not even Sophia. Tyler was a chaste man. At the age of thirty he never had known a woman. In other words, he is still a virgin. "Don't do it again," Jade hissed, before she could pull away from Tyler, she heard someone clear their throat. Jade turned her head and saw the boy in a wheelchair. "Does Sophia know you are already married?" The boy in the wheelchair spoke with an apparent disdain in his expression as he looked from Tyler to Jade. His gaze settled on Jade, his eyes flashed with animosity. Though he looked weak, he exudes an aristocratic aura like Tyler. Jade noticed his resemblance with Tyler; she wasn't able to look at

Chapter 25 - Trusts Her Husband's Love

"Let's stay for dinner, since we are already here," as a person who disliked family feuds, although she was uneasy around Cecilia, she made up her mind to stay for the dinner so as not to aggravate Tyler's already strained relationship with his step mother. She chose to stay despite being treated harshly just to smoothen their relationship. "Are you sure?" Tyler had a frown on his face. What happened to the frightened Jade? A while ago she was scared that he felt she wanted to go home but now she behaves as if she wasn't afraid. "Yes," her big crystal blue eyes stared at him innocently. Being mesmerized by her beautiful twinkling eyes that stared into his hazel eyes, Tyler shook his head to sober up from stupor. Bewilderment took over his heart as indescribable feelings flooded his chest. "Let's head to the dining room," Tyler said, as soon as he recollected himself. Jared distinguished that Jade was different. There was no coquetry in her action or voice unlike Sophia who alw

Chapter 26 - Perfect Strangers

"Hubby, we know what is true and we shouldn't be bothered," Jade giggled and started to take a step towards the door. Tyler didn't remove his hand that was on her waist. Once inside the car, the two lovey dovey became perfectly strangers as if they never knew each other. Each one was engrossed in their own thoughts and didn't give a single glance at each other. After taking a bath, Jade slipped under the covers so she could get up early for their flight the next morning. Jade was starting to drift to sleep when Tyler's side of the bed sunk. All of a sudden, Jade felt an arm snaked around her waist, she was about to unwound the arm when she was pulled. Her back touched Tyler's chest and could feel the heat his body was emanating. "Don't move," Tyler said when Jade was trying to extricate herself from his embrace. "I won't do anything to you, I just want to have a good sleep." Jade stopped moving as she remembered that he had insomnia. Sensing that Jade allowed him to hug her, he

Chapter 27 - Floored

"Are we still going to put an act here?" Jade's question made Tyler halt and looked at her intensely which made her gulp audibly. "Hug me if you don't want to fall," he spoke indifferently before he resumed walking, taking long strides. After a moment of hesitation, Jade obeyed Tyler and wound her arms around Tyler's neck. Jade could not hold back and spoke again when she saw how far he walked and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. "Put me down, Tyler, you're already tired," she was pleading as she felt awkward being stared at by people. "Your husband is not a weakling," Tyler said curtly. He is a soldier. Naturally, he’s physically fit and carrying a slender woman like Jade is just a piece of cake. "But you're sweating," Jade knew that it was a lame proof to support her conclusion that he was tired. "Wipe it," Tyler said in his usual commanding tone. Jade bit her lips to smother her desire to retort as she was afraid that he would throw her on the ground. Slowly, she

Chapter 28 - Piggy Back Ride

Tyler had his gaze away from her and walked fast as if fleeing from something. Jade almost ran as she followed Tyler. She'd better be cooperating with him than to heighten his irritation. She wasn't so sure what he would do to her if she annoys him further. "He's like a pregnant woman. So moody," Jade murmured and complained in her heart. Tyler came to halt when he could not hear her footsteps. He hesitated for a moment, then he turned to see if she was following him. His heart galloped like a horse inside his chest when he saw her figure bath in the lights giving off an ethereal image of Jade. She's really a stunner. Not only her face would take a man's breath away but also her body could knock the wind out. There was a war waging inside Tyler. A conflict between differing emotions. Tyler frowned at his own thoughts at the woman in front of him. "Hurry up," Tyler's tone was neither harsh nor gentle but his expression was stern. Jade made her steps quicker. And she was alread

Chapter 29 - Cross Paths

Understanding her point, Tyler nodded. He lifted his foot and strode. Jade was able to breathe when he didn't insist and followed Tyler quietly. As she followed Tyler, her attention was drawn to the beautiful landscape that she didn't notice there were a few steps going down. "Ahhh" Jade screamed, closing her eyes and anticipating the pain that would come with the fall but nothing came, instead she felt two strong arms all around her. She thought it was Tyler, however, she smelled an unfamiliar scent and perfume. Smells good but it wasn't Tyler's scent and perfume. She opened her eyes and was greeted by a handsome man with hazel green eyes, a straight nose, supple lips and a perfectly chiseled face. He's as handsome as Tyler but his face was gentle and warm unlike Tyler who has a wintry and intimidating aura around him. "Are you okay, miss?" The voice of the man was magnetic and pleasant to the ear. Tyler felt his chest tightened at the sight of Jade being in the arms of anoth
