Max went after Stacy who kept running out of the house. He finally caught up to her when she approached her car and tried to hold her, however, she turned and slapped him."How dare you, Max? I'm so disgusted by your face right now.""Calm down, please and listen to me. Everything I did was part of the plan." He explained.She scoffed, "What plan? Did the plan involve kissing and being intimate with her? Was that part of the plan, Max?""Just calm down and listen to what I have to say," Max begged.She shook her head, "No, Max. There's no excuse you will give right now that will make me understand or forgive what you have done. I trusted you.""It was the doctor's request," Max told her."What? What does that even mean?" She yelled."Lower your voice, please," Max replied. "Come with me first.""No, I'm not going in there." She pulled her hand away from his."Please just come to my room. Let's talk," Max insisted and held her hand again, taking her with him. She angrily followed behin
Jade woke up while it was still dark, took her bath, and got dressed. She had already prepared herself to leave and was just waiting for the perfect time.She wasn't going to leave with her clothes because she did not want to attract suspicion. All she needed to do was wait for Anderson and Max to leave, and then she would leave with just the black card and the few things she'd have on her. While lying on her bed, she heard a knock on her door, and it was suddenly pushed open. She turned and smiled when she saw Max.She got up and stood, "Good morning, Max.""Good morning, Jade," He replied."Well, you're looking sharp and handsome," she told him. "I haven't seen you so well dressed in a while."He chuckled, "I must say you're looking good too. How do you manage it even with your condition?"Jade shook her head, "I've not really done anything."He sighed, "Okay....well, I want to apologize for what happened yesterday and...""No, no, there's no need for that," Jade said, stopping him.
When Mr. Anderson came back from work, he went straight to Jade's room to see her. He was in such a hurry in the morning that he did not bother to see her. However, when he got to her room, he realized she wasn't there and became worried. He began to search for her, going straight to Max's room because he knew they had a good relationship, but she wasn't there.He had received a call earlier from Max, who told him he had left the country. He wasn't happy about it, since Max had earlier delegated someone else to go on the journey. He had thought Max would stay back and look after Jade.He had been really impressed with him lately, with the way he maintained a good relationship with Jade and always took care of her. It convinced him that Max was going to be a good father to his grandchildren. But now that he couldn't find Jade anywhere, he asked all the maids including Agatha, but they had no idea where she was. Going out, he met the security at the gate and asked, "Where's Jade?""I
Max thought about how he had already made up his mind that he wouldn't take Jade's children from her or let her be separated from them without her consent. He had promised himself that he was going to give her the best life, make sure she went to college, got a good job, and was involved in the lives of her children. He had not bothered to share this decision with his father or Stacy because he knew that they wouldn't understand his point of view."And what about the sweet moments we spent together, Jade?" He asked himself.Everything must have been a subtle plan from her end, so she would get under his skin and betray him once she gained his trust. He gritted his teeth, "I will never forgive you, Jade."Meanwhile, at this time, the woman who had taken Jade and given her accommodation saw the post with Jade's pictures and the fact that a hundred thousand dollars would be awarded to whoever found her. Her eyes lit up greedily, "Hundred thousand dollars!"She looked at Jade, who was
TWENTY FOUR HOURS LATER JADEI opened my eyes and blinked a few times as I struggled to adjust to the light. I felt weak and my body was sore too.I looked around the room and became aware of my surroundings. I recalled what had happened the previous day and sat upright as I cried out, "My babies!"The door was pushed open at this time and a doctor came inside, a man in his forties.He rushed to my side and began to stroke my back comfortingly as I cried my heart out."My babies," I cried. "They took my babies, please help me...I need to get my babies back."I got off the bed at this point, ignoring the pain in my body. I began heading toward the door but the doctor held my hand and pulled me back as he said, "I will help you."I turned and stared at him, tears streaming down my face, "Will you really help me?""Yes," he replied."I was here yesterday and I witnessed everything that happened. No mother should be made to suffer what you suffered. In fact, no one has the right to take
JADEThe gate was opened but to my surprise, it wasn't by the security man I knew but was someone else.I gulped. Was the former security man fired because I escaped with my pregnancy the last time?"Who are you and what do you want?" He asked me."I....my name is....I..." As I stuttered, the man laughed and a voice from inside asked, "Who is that?"My heart skipped a beat as I recognized the voice. It was the security man I knew. So, he wasn't fired but someone else was added to his post.I became filled with dread. Nevertheless, I remembered my children and reached out my left hand as I said weakly, "Help me!"I acted like I was going to faint and the security man who initially wanted to go back inside, turned and caught my hand.I turned my left hand and gripped his arm, surprising him. I pulled him toward me and pricked the back of his hand with the poisoned needle I held in my hand.His eyes widened as he instantly became paralyzed and fell to the ground. I was shocked as I had
JADE Left with no other choice, I began to run with my two children in my arms. I was very afraid because I knew that running on foot increased the chances of me getting caught.Anderson could put out a call to the security men at the entrance of the estate and instruct them to conduct a stop and search. How could Frank betray me at a time like this?After helping me get this far, he disappeared when I needed him the most. Was this all a plan to get me to rot in jail? Was he working for the Andersons and deliberately set me up? No matter what, I was going to die first before letting them take the two children from me.I suddenly stopped running and gasped when I recalled my jewelry. I had put them in a bag and hid them in the trunk of Frank's car. They were worth millions of dollars and Frank may have discovered them.I had made him believe that the bag merely contained my clothes but while I was in Andersons' house trying to retrieve my kids, he must have gone through my things and d
JADEWe arrived at Frank's apartment and I laid my sons on his bed so they could sleep a little more.I told him about my broken wrist and he said, "It would have been strange if you came out unscathed. Now I am convinced you don't have secret superpowers."I huffed, "If I had superpowers, either secret or known, I would not have been in my current situation."He nodded, "You have a point. So if you were to miraculously have superpowers, what would you do with them?"I smiled, "That's easy. Get back my daughter.""And what next?" He asked further."Once I and my children are stable, the next step would be revenge," I replied."Against Max or his father?" He inquiredI sighed, "I am angry at Max but I don't think I can ever hurt him.""Do you have feelings for him then?" He began to work on my broken wrist as he waited for an answer from me."What do I say?" I asked him. "I do not have such luxury. I want to be practical and do what I must in order to survive and care for my children.
