Blinking her eyes several times, Jade was still there right in front of her. 'I haven't drunk any wine yet, but my eyes are doing tricks on me now.' She looked up at Tyler, judging from his reaction, Tyler was absolutely stunned. "Mr. Stockholm, it's been a while," Luke said as he reached out for the hand waiting for a handshake. "May I have the pleasure to know who's this beauty beside the eunuch of the business society?" Mr. Stockholm cracked a joke. He had known Luke for a long time, he had a rumored fiancée but he never brought her with him. He was indifferent when he was asked about his fiancée and this prompted a conclusion that it was just a rumor.In their circle Luke was the only one who hadn't had a scandal, his record was so clean that they began to call him eunuch. Luke looked down at the woman standing beside him and put his hand over her hand that was holding his arm. The sparkling hazel green eyes indicated how deeply he loved the woman. "She's Jade, my wife." "S
As night eventually became day, Jade blinked her groggy eyes, cracking a big yawn, rubbing her eyes like a bleary, languorous cat."Good morning," Luke's voice took away all the sleepiness from her and she sat up, leaning her body on the head rest.His eyes shone brightly as the sun, giving warmth, her heart felt his warmth."Breakfast in bed," he settled the bed tray on her lap and gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek.Though it was an innocent kiss, Jade's face turned red as if she had been basking under the sunlight a long time.Her adorable response disabled Luke from holding back his laughter."Luke," she uttered, covering her face with hands.Adoringly he eyed the shy woman in front of him, his face full of smiles. "Alright, I'll leave you then."After she had eaten her breakfast, Luke went out from the walk-in closet in his custom tailored sui
It was the room they first met. The night Jade stole Tyler's first kiss. But neither of them could remember it.Though they don't remember it, but even so, the room brought a feeling of familiarity to Tyler and Jade.Somehow Jade knew that this place was connected to both of them. However, thinking about Luke she discarded the thought instantly.Luke doesn't deserve being betrayed. He is a lovely man. A man that treasures her the most.All throughout the meal, not a single word was spoken. They just enjoyed the food accompanied by the occasional clinking of the cutlery.Jade's phone vibrated when she put down her cutlery. immediately she fished out her phone from her bag.Seeing the caller ID, a smile broke out on her face. All the tension she felt vanished right away."Hey, calling already?" She said, letting out a soft chuckle.Suddenly the man in
Sleep had become elusive, making the night long and torturous for Jade.Wide awake, Jade stared at the ceiling as Tyler's words echoed in her mind repeatedly like a broken recorder.Moreover, from time to time, vague images of a man surrounding her in his arms appeared in her mind.Guilt pinched her heart as the images evoked a feeling she had never felt for Luke.It's unfair to her husband who did nothing but love her with all of him despite the fact that she can't give him his sexual needs.Actually, she can't remember any memory of having physical intimacy with Luke.Jade felt that there was a huge gap in her memory and some memories are missing.In the dead of the night, phone ringing pierced through the silence, interrupting her train of thoughts.Jade turned her body to the side and stretched her long and slim arm to pick her phone on the beds
Tim caught sight of his mother's frowning face. "Is something wrong, mommy?""Oh nothing, darling," she smiled brightly at her son and dotingly patted his cute chubby cheeks.She reminded herself to be mindful when she's with Tim because he is a sensitive child and could detect her changing mood easily."Mommy, it's Saturday today. Can we have some fun in the city?" Tim said with puppy eyes staring at his mother's blue eyes, adoringly fixated at him.The puppy eye look had always done the trick whenever he would ask something from his mom.It never failed him, so despite having disliked acting childish, he still uses this childish tactic."You know that I can't resist when you look at me like that," she said, giggling as though she had seen through him. "Alright, I'll shower first and wait for me, downstairs."Tim had been pacing through and fro in the spacious and luxurious li
Outside, the vast expanse of the sky gradually changed color as the sun settled down, giving way for other heavenly bodies to adorn the skies with their faint but enchanting light. Tyler checked his watch and went to see Timothy and persuaded the child to eat his dinner. Following dinner, he brought Timothy to his room. To coax him to sleep, he ensured that Jade will be fine and will look after, because of that Tim went to sleep. Tyler returned to the room and he paced back and forth worriedly that Jade hadn't woken up yet. Some time later, regaining consciousness, Jade heard the small voices in the room, talking about her. "No need to worry about her, Mr. Zimmerman. She's fine," the doctor who checked on Jade said to pacify the man who had been pacing the room back and forth anxiously. Tyler couldn't understand what came to his mind that he brought Jade into the mountain mansion rather than the hospital. The doctor left the room after assuring that Jade was fine. Another sec
Jade lifted her hands and took Tim from Tyler. "Let's go home." As if she was being chased by a wild beast, Jade walked away in haste. Although Tyler wanted to ask what's the matter with her, he held back since Tim was there with them. He didn't want his son to be caught in the middle of a crossfire so he let go of the matter.Just this time. He was willing to compromise for the sake of his son. But, next time, he won't back down. His mind might not remember anything in the past but one thing he was sure of…. he's madly in love with Jade. When Jade arrived home, she went straight into the master bedroom and entered the bathroom right away. Pure disgust relentlessly churned within her. She felt dirty. She can't imagine that she did such a horrible thing. Unceasingly, her tears flowed with the water from the shower head while she scrubbed her skin until it turned red. You're filthy! That was her head screaming over and over while cleaning herself. Outside the bathroom, her phone
Even when she couldn't give his physical needs he was understanding. He never demanded it from her nor coerced her to do her obligation as his wife.But when Tyler appeared, she gave her body to him without struggle while she deprived Luke.She betrayed Luke. She was an unfaithful wife.Luke went to the side of the bed where she was curled up."No, don't touch me! A sullied woman like me doesn't deserve you," she said with tears pouring down her cheeks like a broken tap.Luke sadly retracted his hands. He dragged his heavy feet and left their room.When he entered his study, he dialled the number for the person who has to know about Jade's condition."What's up buddy?" Colton was agitated, Luke only calls him when it concerns Jade and Tim."We have to tell her the truth," Luke decided that Jade had to remember the past."No!"
