JADEAndrew’s laughter followed me as I stomped the rest of the way to the dungeon. The evil and din’t even come with me. He just wanted to rub it in my face.Asshole.I still had a smile on my face though now, I’m very conscious of how covered my neck was. I really should have paid more attention and maybe put on makeup or something to cover it up.Well, it is already too late now.It was when I got the door that I paused outside. What was I even going to tell Atlas? Why did you leave a hickey on me?I’m sure Annie has never asked that. In fact, when we were teenagers, she was always very happy to show her marl to everyone. It is not like we didn’t know they were sleeping together. But she just had to show it too much because she was an attention seeker.The thought of her made unease trail down my spine and I started thinking of what happened last night. All that I did.How does someone even know he did well? I didn’t have any experience. Heck, he was my first kiss and that only hap

JADE“Jade.” I didn’t stop to listen to whatever he had to say.I turned around and headed back out of the door. I could hear him coming after me so I went faster. Forcing my feet to move even though every part of me felt heavy. Lifting my legs felt like I was moving a boulder. Still, I pushed myself forward.My eyes were burning but I refused to let myself cry. Not gain. Not for him. He doesn’t deserve it. He doesn’t deserve me!Someone was coming out a car when I got to the driveway. I’m not sure I told you them excuse me as I pushed them aside and got into the driver’s seat. With eyes barely on the road, I reversed out of the driveway, and headed straight of the gates.Atlas was still yelling for me, coming after me but I didn’t care. I left him in the dust and exhaust the car left behind.I only had one destination in mind. I didn’t know what I would do when I got there but that is something I will have to worry about later. I reach;;ed something my dad had told me when we were h

JADE I couldn’t close my mouth when I saw the house. John only laughed, seemingly pleased with himself for the surprise. Or whatever this is. I kept blinking, asking myself if maybe they were playing pranks on me because this couldn’t be real. It really couldn’t be real. It was an actual castle. Like the types you see in fairytales and movies. I have never seen anything like it in real life. It was unreal. “Now I ca say welcome home your highness. It is really good to have you back.” I turned to him, still unable to close my mouth. He got out of the car and opened the door for me. I stepped out immediately. I couldn’t contain my excitement. There was a fountain right there in the middle of the driveway. It was large and magnificent. With a howling wolf in the middle of it. Water was coming out of its mouth and raining down. It was beautiful. I was drawn to it. I found myself walking there before I could stop myself. “Beautify, isn’t it?” I heard a voice as beside me. It didn’t

JADEI have noticed a lot of sunrises, since I woke up earlier than everyone and all. So sometimes I just sit outside and watch the sky gradually open up. It was always therapeutic.No matter how many sunrises I saw, it didn’t prepare for what it would be like here in Palm Springs. That was the name of my father’s—well, now my new home.And it didn’t matter how many times I saw the sunrise or sunset. It stole my breath every time.I breathed out a small sigh and take the drink to my lips.This really is the life. Drinking cocktails and watching the setting of the sun, surrounded by the most beautiful things in the world, and my family. I couldn’t forget that.Ray was beside me, also lying down on the lounge and sipping her non-alcoholic cocktail. This has become sort of our ritual the past few days and I’m loving it.She has also warmed up to me so much more since I got here. Generally, she seems a lot calmer here and I guess, you feel that way when you’e in a place you love.“Did you

JADEI looked in the mirror, my eyebrows creasing a little in uncertainty.Dad said they were hosting a welcome party for me and a lot of important figures in the country were attending. So naturally, I was nervous. Not because I want’t used to being around them. But I was ever the subject of their attention.I was always just a guest, or they were honouring Atlas and I’m his wife. I was more focused on making sure everything was going well, rather than thinking of how to socialise with them.I know a lot of their faces would be familiar. But that would be the end of it. I may not even remember their names.Now, I’m getting my hair and makeup done because I have to look the part. According to ray. She picked out my dress for me, much to my dismay. I hate to admit that what she picked out was definitely something I would have decided on by myself.It was simple and elegant and the green color made my eyes pop. She had given it a thumbs up before running off. She was giddy and excited f

JADE“You sure you want to leave that out there?” Ray motioned to my locket, which was glowing for some reason.I have become used to the random things the thing does that I barely even noticed them anymore. As long as it didn’t get scalding hot the way it did the other day. I had considered doing research on it to find out why it does all these things, but for now, I have’t really decided if I want to find out or not.Ignoring is bliss and all.“Dad said it is okay.” I replied.And I actually like having it with me. It felt like I had a piece of my mother and grandmother here with me. Even though they aren’t. I could feel their presence. Like they have their arms wrapped around me in a soft hug.“Okay.” She said and stopped outside a double door.It was similar to the one at the entrance but not quite as large. I knew this was the ballroom. Of course, they had a ballroom. It was a castle with almost two hundred bedrooms and I had my own apartment in the house. So yes, a ballroom is e

JADEAntonio stepped back, probably to give us privacy while dad winced, clearly not happy with what she said.When I got over my shock, I tried to plaster on a fake smile. My lips wobbled when she gave me a withering glare. She really does’t like me.I guess, I wouldn’t like me either if I was in her shoes.“Or are you going to keep hiding her form me?” More venom coated her words, it made the first one seem like child’s play.If looks could kill a person, I would have been dead by now from the way she was looking at me. She had no regard for the people standing all around. Some were definitely looking at us. Trying to overhear what was being said.&

ATLAS My head was banging. Or maybe that was the sound of whatever they were hitting outside my room. I groaned and pushed my leg off the bed, not caring to open my eyes. I knew my room like the back of my hand, so even if I was unconscious, I could make it to the door. I stood straight, my entire body protesting to the movement because it felt like too much. I took no more than two steps before my foot hit something and I went tumbling to the ground. If I was in my right senses, my relaxed would have saved me perhaps. But my head was pudding pounding and now the world was shaking. I felt around me, now realising it wasn’t my choice to not open my eyes. They have refused to open and I had nothing to do with it. I felt something, like wood so I held onto it and hoisted myself up. Or tried to, rather. Because instead of pulling myself up, I pulled something and it crashed over me, making me hit the back of my head on whatever I had tripped on the first time. “Shit.” My growl is ful
