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
The kiss was passionate and wind sucking. Jade bit his tongue when she felt her lungs were running out of air. Tyler left her mouth when pain registered, next thing was a palm connected to his cheek in such a strong impact turning his head sideways. "You, pervert!" Jade scolded him mercilessly. "You're a shameless scoundrel, scumbag!" Once more, Tyler gathered her in his arms, putting to a halt her tirade. "Jade, give me another chance," he said, his pleading tone made Jade stop from resisting his embrace for a moment. Nevertheless, she sneered and spoke, sending Tyler to what seemed to be an abyss of desolation and helplessness. "You've exhausted all your chances and nothing was left," she forcefully pulled away from him and this time she was able to free her body from his hold. But deep within, Jade was in anguish as she knew, though her body was freed still her heart remained in his hands. How could she free herself from his grasp? She
Pretty soon, he recognized the woman, none other than Jade and the man was Luke. "Mr. Zimmerman! How do you feel that you are finally tying the knot with the love of your life?" From where Tyler stood, the reporter next to him asked. His question caught both Jade's and Luke's attention. Tyler ignored the man, and turned his attention towards the car. Sophia was coming out of the car, she reached out for Tyler's hand that was extended to her. Jade's lips twitched how protective Tyler was to Sophia as he placed a hand over Sophia's head so she wouldn't hurt her head. That side of him was only reserved for Sophia. Sophia cocked her eyebrow haughtily when she spotted Jade looking at them. She had a triumphant look on her face while she stared at Jade. She didn't argue with Tyler when he told her that he sent an invitation to Jade. In fact, she was thrilled that she'll witness how Jade's face turns green with envy by the time Tyler declares hi
The man smiled evilly. "He rejected you again?" "Do you think I will ask for your help, if he had s*x with me?" Sophia replied, she couldn't hide her frustration. "He hadn't changed. Five years ago, you drugged him when he visited you in New York but didn't sleep with you and you ended up calling me to your unit to screw you," he chuckled. "You know, I somewhat salute him. Though you drugged him several times, he never cheated on his wife. It's rare for a man to refuse someone like you," the man caressed Sophia's thigh. "But he's kind of an idiot, easy to fool, you have drugged him twice but he still didn't suspect you and acknowledged our children to be his," he chuckled and nibbled the flesh between her bosoms.Sophia let out a moan. "That's why I am confident this time. When I get pregnant again with your help, he'll eventually marry me as his wife is no longer in the way," Sophia yelped when she was suddenly flipped and pinned on the bed. "I'm g
"Mr. Zimmerman, as I have said. I don't want another drama in life. Don't drag me into your issue with your childhood sweetheart," Jade said unkindly and held Luke's arm, using her eyes she pleaded him to take her home. It doesn't matter anymore, whether he cheated on her or not. She couldn't forgive him. His callous attitude toward her when he blamed her for almost losing his 'child' has brought her so much agony that cause her distress which resulted in miscarriage. Jade was so happy when she came to know she was pregnant again. She always wanted to have a big family so that the mansion would become livelier. However, Tyler had put an end to that happiness when he chose to believe Sophia's lies. Tyler's broad shoulders dropped in defeat. He was hoping that Jade would forgive him. Initially, when Tyler put the hidden camera in his room and took that video, he thought of showing it to Sophia when the time came that she demanded him to marry her after giving
Alone in the lonely corridor of the hospital, Jade felt like she went on a trip to hell, waiting for the operating theater to open. Being a surgeon, she had always been the one who performed surgery and never experienced waiting outside to hear news from the doctors. She didn't imagine that one day she would anxiously wait outside the operating room. Waiting in dread. Overwrought, Jade made up her mind to barge into the operating room. When she was at the point of pushing the door to the operating room, it suddenly opened. "Dr. Leitner," the doctor said in surprise. "How is the patient, Dr. Townsend?" Jade's anxious gaze gave away how much the man meant to her. "The bullet was removed already, but it punctured his lungs. We have to put him under observation," Dr. Townsend replied and gave a gentle pat on Jade's shoulder. Jade knew that pat. She's a surgeon herself, she usually gives the patients' loved ones a gentle pat on the shoulder to console them because the situation wasn'
Like a walking shell, Jade mindlessly walked being led by Tyler, oblivious to the stares thrown at her by her colleagues. Dread filled her system as Luke's state wasn't hopeful. She was too afraid to lose him. Apart from Colton and Tim, Luke had been her pillar for many years and she have depended on him a lot. It was cold outside, so Tyler took of his suit jacket and draped it over Jade's body. But his action seemed insignificant to the woman whose mind was utterly occupied by another man. She didn't even notice that Tyler covered her with his coat. Staring painfully at his wife, Tyler couldn't do anything but to endure the excruciating agony. This must how she had felt when he ignored her after believing Sophia's lie.He was such an idiot. An astute businessman, manipulated by a woman. She had not glanced at him once since they came out of the hospital. Her eyes fixedly peering outside while tears continually flowed like a broken tap. And at the s
