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 bedsTim 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!"
"Jade!" Colton anxiously dashed forward to Jade when she fainted. The emotional disturbance she manifested prompted Colton to call the hypnotist. At this rate, Jade being emotionally unstable would do things that would harm her.Jade couldn't handle the guilt she felt, believing that she cheated on her husband. She will more likely handle the pain brought to her by Tyler. Hence, Colton decided to undo the hypnosis. After the incident, Colton decidedly brought Jade and Tim to Germany with him. "I'm sorry," Luke said as he held Jade in his arms. She was sedated as they flew since her mental state wasn't in a good condition. The entire duration of the flight, Luke kept holding Jade in his arms. He had no assurance if Jade would allow him to hug her again after this. This might be the last time he could do it. Colton's icy cold stare greatly warmed as he saw how tenderly Luke embraced his sister like a treasure. He was certain that h
Once, actually, twice she made a fool of herself when she believed Tyler's words. This time she wouldn't let him deceive her again. From now on she has to learn to hide what she feels and won't allow anyone to read her emotions. Jade masked her sadness by wearing a beautiful smile. Jade continued walking up the stairs and walked towards Timothy's room. She stared at her sleeping son's face. He once looked like his father but he underwent a plastic surgery to make him look like Jade but there's one thing that remained, his eyes. They are the same as Tyler's. "I'm so sorry son, I was a coward to face the pain," Jade couldn't hold back, covering her mouth, she burst into tears. After days of giving a thought how she would get on with her life, Jade decided to speak to Colton. "Are you sure?" Colton asked and couldn't help but frown as Jade decided to go back to Austria and resume her work as a surgeon. "Yes, I am," Jade didn't like to hide a
Jade turned and came face to face with the man she decided to forget. Her eyes narrowed. "What are you trying to do?" She asked, her hands quickly moving to take the coat off."It's so cold out here, your clothes aren't sufficient to shield you from the biting cold wind. You might get sick," Tyler explained, his warm expression was in stark contrast to the cold season. However, it did nothing to warm the icy cold heart of the woman before him. "I don't need your help, Mr. Zimmerman," Jade shoved the coat on his chest and left in a haste without sparing him another glance, giving him no chance to stop her. Just as Jade had walked a few meters away, Tyler saw Luke coming towards Jade. He felt a stabbing pain in his chest as he witnessed Jade accepting Luke's jacket draped over her shoulders and tightened it around her body. Worsening his pain, was when Luke wrapped his arm around Jade's shoulders. Their intimacy had Tyler clench his teeth that he almost broke his white and perfect
Sophia was stunned to see Jade. Her beautiful face contorted. "You!" She panicked. She thought she could finally get together with Tyler but Jade came back again. "You're a - live?""Yes, it's me," Jade sniggered and crossed her arms below her breasts. Sophia isn't Sophia Ludwig, the primadonna if she will allow herself to be the underdog. She regained her composure easily and walked over to Tyler. "Honey," she latched into Tyler's arm but Tyler yanked away his arm and put a considerable distance from Sophia. Sophia pouted and her eyes red looking aggrieved. She took a paper from her hand bag. "Honey, I'm expecting, here's the pregnancy result," Sophia placed the result on the table. Jade's eyes wandered from the test result to Sophia's belly. Her stomach slightly protruded. What an eye sore to Jade. Jade felt a stabbing pain and left hurriedly. But she didn't forget to wear an indifferent facade while she passed by the secretary. Tyler went after Jade when he recovered from th
