Jade watched Maria drop a plate of apples next to Xavier's bed and walk out. “You're never going out with me again" He stated. “That's not fair," Jade replied. “I'll only put you in danger" Getting married to him already jeopardized her safety. Her whole fucking existence is in danger because she married a Mafia Lord. “Don't you think I'm useless around here?" She walked around his room. Which was now hers too. " What do you want?” He asked, sitting up. Xavier stubbornly refused to let his wound get bandaged and surprisingly, it healed quicker than expected. " Why don't you hire me? I studied business, accounting to be precise and I am very good. I can be a very good asset" She tried to convince him. He noticed exactly how hard she tried to keep herself away from him and how she reacts to his presence and even his touch. He can visibly see the fear in her eyes everytime he wants to touch her. Fear of uncertainty that he might turn into a monster again. “You don't need to

Xavier admired his wife as she majestically walked to him, taking her time to effectively seduce him. The rock between his thighs told him how much he missed her body but the anger buried in the depths of his soul restricted him from taking any action. He knew clearly she came to seduce him and of course, he will willingly fall into her pleasure trap. Jade didn't sit on the chair provided for her, rather, she sat on the edge of the table right in front of Xavier, wasting no time in showcasing her milky thigh. “All I see is wine, where's the fun?" She placed her leg on his thigh, careful not to hurt him with her heels. " We are all alone” She continued when she noticed none of his men were around. " What can that mouth do?” She placed the other leg on his chest and leaned back to the table, pushing the wine bucket off the table. Jade slowly parted her legs, giving him a very good and direct view of her red, pulsating core. All she wanted was to feel him buried deep inside her sou

Jade quickly slammed the book she was reading in bed and headed for the door when she heard some noise. “Please stay in, Mrs. Stone” One of the men at the door said to her. " What is going on?” For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. " Don't worry, we have everything under control, but you have to get back inside” What was under control? Raquel showed up immediately. She held a rifle. " Raquel” Jade called. " What's going on?” " Make sure she stays inside. Don't allow her out” She instructed them. " Yes general” They chorused. Raquel pulled out another gun. She was in a rush. “Wait, I won't move an inch, you know that. Just tell me what's happening" Jade became worried for no reason. Raquel hesitated. " Xavier's car is under attack. Don't ask me more questions because I do not know. My men are still trying to neutralize the threat. Please stay here, you're safe in here” Jade noded. " Please take care of him” She blurted but couldn't take it back. Raquel gav

She felt like she could vomit the whole of her organs when she woke up. He throat was sore and her gut nasty. She had a light headache and a little temperature. “How’re you feeling, Mrs. Stone?” Dr. Vince greeted her with a smile. Jade looked from her personal doctor to her husband who stood close to the balcony doors, too far from her and she couldn't tell what was on his mind. " Hey, doc” Jade gave him a small smile. " I feel nasty” " That's just fine. You'll feel better. And congratulations once…” " I'm pregnant, ain't I?” She sighed and turned away from the doctor. “Yes, a month" Dr. Vince looked at at Xavier who said nothing. " Okay” She sadly nodded. Dr. Vince walked to Xavier as they discussed something and he left. Jade placed her shaky hand on her belly. She wasn't expecting this news but unlike the last time, she wasn't sad, or regretful to carry his child. It surprised her because she didn't feel the disgust, the shame of carrying his child, the pain she once felt

Jade's footsteps became soft and cold. She walked to the bed with deep breaths and frozen heart. There laid her husband in another woman's arms. They slept naked in the bed, holding each other as their legs entangled. Her cold palms turned into frozen fists. She became rooted to the floor few inches away from the bed. She stared down on them with contempt, laced with disgust. A sweet sour flavor of betrayal hit the back of her throat, making her nauseous with anger. All she did was stare at the betrayal, with tears in her eyes and a voiceless cry. She couldn't feel anything. Her eyes were only on him. And one question reverberating in her mind. ‘Why?’ “Xavier…” His name escaped her mouth in a whisper. “Xavier!" This time, it came out with a screech. Carrie slowly opened her eyes and eventually, Xavier too. The two looked the woman towering over them with anger in her eyes. “J-Jade..” Xavier tried to get up but his head felt heavy. Carrie quickly pulled the sheets to cove
