Jade's pov. The box of tissues was almost empty as I grabbed yet another one and blew out my nose in it. Then grabbed one more and dabbed my eyes with it. I sniffed severally, making me almost choke on my breath and I knew one annoying headache was going to come later. "You're the one that suggested to leave, Why are you crying your eyes out," Betty asked gently as she sat beside me, patting my back. "I...I thou... ught maybe h...he would stop me," I sobbed before sniffing. I was at her house now. I had called her to come pick me up after I got dropped off at the bar and I've been crying ever since I got into the car and we arrived at her house."Yeah, that's some shitty behaviour from him for letting you leave." Betty agreed. "But... but I took out my anger a...at him after S...Suzy's text," I told her, wiping my tears with my palm and swallowing hard, feeling the salty taste at the back of my throat. "Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have done that." She agreed also. "But... he ss..
Saint's povI slammed my fist on the table in my room and felt my jaws tighten. Fuck it! I was going to get her back! I fucked up by letting her go and I just wanted her to be with me. I wanted her back and I was going to get her. I grabbed my keys and stepped out of my room, slamming the door behind me and at the same time, I saw Alessandro coming back up the staircase. "Ayo Gennaro the man!" Alessandro called out, waving in the air and grinning from ear to ear. I didn't know whatever had made him that happy but I wasn't ready to hear it. And why was he at home and not at Betty's or whatever her name was' house. "Yeah, I'm busy now," I replied, increasing my pace before stopping in front of him. "And what are you doing here?" He stretched, yawning in the process. "She's still indoors. Betty's the only one who has been going in and out of the house. I'm starting to think she might not be there." He shrugged. I shook my head. "I'm sure she is. Who's watching the house now?" "On
Jade's pov. The girl held his face in her hand as he looked at me while I stood frozen to the ground. "Come on... what're you doing standing there," Betty said coming over to me and then dragged me along with her. I was controlling myself well, trying to not cry at the sight of him not bothering to even walk up to me or anything. I was the one crying out my eyes every day while he had just been having the best time of his life with women. The hurt I felt was turning into anger and I felt stupid for ever even trying and thinking I could break his walls. I saw him look elsewhere while the girl continued to giggle and play with his hair. I glared at him before looking away. Ignoring him was the best thing to do and that was exactly what I was going to do. I changed into my work clothes and got to work immediately. "Of all days, he chose today to turn up," Betty said in a low tone as we stood at the counter waiting for the bartender. "I'm doing my best to ignore him, Betty. And the
Jade's pov. He sighed in defeat. "You caught me."I laughed a little at his expression and he eyed me, looking away. "Saint sent you, didn't he?" I asked. "Yeah. He told me to look after you," He admitted. "Now he's going to kill me for real for letting you find out."I was surprised and I knew it was quite evident on my face. "He asked you to look after me?" "I mean yeah. He does care for you more than you think." He answered, putting the lollipop back into his mouth. I fell quiet as I thought about it, biting down on my lower lip and feeling the anger towards Saint seep away slowly. Saint had actually asked someone to look after me? Just because I left the house? Then why didn't he call me or send a text? Why didn't he walk up to me at the bar if he cared that much?I shook my head at him. "I doubt he does. I mean..."I trailed off, getting caught up in my own thoughts once more. "Look, Jade, he might be a stuck-up dude at times, he gets jealous easily, he threatens to kill me e
Jade's povWe trooped into the bar, just like every other person and immediately, loud music blasted into our ears. I pulled up my strapless dress to cover my breasts that were shamelessly pumped out. Betty hit my hand as I did it for a second time and eyed me playfully. "Saint should see you that way red one. Why do you think I picked out the dress?" She winked at me and I smiled shyly. She must have seen through me to know I would definitely want to come here and I couldn't blame her though. I was a clown when it came to Saint because it didn't matter what he did, I always found myself thinking of him, wanting to see him and wanting to be with him. No matter how much I told myself I should keep away, I still found my way back. And right now, I wanted to find him and talk to him, talk about everything, tell him how much I missed him and makeup with him. "I don't see him anywhere though," I replied searching the VIP sections for him with my eyes. Betty dragged me to the counter a
Jade's povSaint's eyes locked with mine and the only emotion I could make out from him was shock. And it was only because of the way his eyes widened when he saw me. I hated him at that moment so much I thought my heart would explode and I regretted ever coming to the bar at all that night.Or even crossing paths with him. Lauretta? The crazy woman that was trying to kill me? Was the one he was here, making out with? And how the hell was she even here? I hadn't seen or heard anything about her since the night of our vacation and all of a sudden she popped into the world again. Maybe I was right all along. He still loved her She was his first love and I wasn't going to be surprised if he still loved the shit out of her. The tears were coming and my vision was starting to be blurry. I was going crazy standing there and the more I saw his face, the more I hated him. I heard her giggle loudly making me shoot Saint a hateful glare and turn abruptly to leave, shutting the door behind
Saint's pov. I was losing my mind by the day and I knew it. I missed Jade madly and I could not deny it any longer or deny the unquenchable feelings I had for her. I craved her, I wanted her in my arms and I needed her to never be apart from me. Every time I thought about how I had lied when I told her I didn't care or need her and saw the hurt that was filled in her eyes, I wanted to hit myself so hard and drill multiple holes in my body until I bled to death. It was almost too much for even me to bear and I could swear on multiple occasions, I had thought about going to pick her up and taking her away from all this mess and just being together with her. I had hurt her, that was the undeniable truth. And then I had let some random ass girl sit and play with my face and hair, trying to get my attention which had left me irritated instead and just when I had had enough and was about to get the hell out of there, she had unexpectedly walked into the bar and seen that as well. I was s
Saint's PovThe tears I saw in her eyes as she looked at me in hatred made me risk yanking Lauretta off my thighs and not caring if I ended up dying from the cut on my neck. But the risk was a deadly one because I wouldn't survive if I dared. Lauretta was undeniably good with knives. Her only positive trait if I may add. I heard Lauretta giggle and grind herself a little more as she turned and locked eyes with Jade. She was making sure Jade thought we were doing whatever it looked like we were doing. I took that opportunity of her distraction to stretch my hands to the gun and grab it lightly, feeling her hand a bit loose on my neck. But that still didn't stop the pain that was springing out from there which made me know the knife had cut me a little. Jade turned around and hurried out, banging the door behind her just as I corked the gun in my hand, putting it to Lauretta's head. I called out her name, determined to end Lauretta and run after her immediately. Lauretta turned to
