Blue light appeared in the sky pushing away the darkness, announcing the new day dawning. A new day, a new beginning. But for Jade, being fully immersed in sadness, felt like being stuck in darkness. Never realized the light of the day again. It's been a week since Luke's funeral. The death of Luke created a huge hole in Jade's heart. And she didn't know how to patch that empty space in her life. "Good morning, mommy," Timothy greeted her. He had been sleeping in her room since the death of Luke. "Good morning, darling," Jade smiled but it didn't touch her eyes. The glum in her eyes couldn't be dispelled even with her son's bright smile. Jade sat up and checked the time. The digital clock sitting on the bedside table indicated that it's already seven in the morning. "Have a shower, mommy will send you to school.""Really?" Timothy was so happy that he couldn't believe what he heard. Jade had been locking herself for the whole week. It
Tyler stepped on the gas pedal, he was in a hurry to reach the women's correctional facilities. He needed to see Sophia. "I heard you're already divorced," Sophia spoke right away before taking her seat. Tyler clenched his fist. Her words were like salt being rubbed on his wound. "Did you finally wake up and remember your promise to me? You said that when I grow up, you're going to marry me," Sophia had an aggrieved look on her. This was her usual tactic to get Tyler's sympathy. However, Tyler was no longer the fool that he was that could be easily deceived by her pitiful look. "Rachel Fischer," Tyler said, Sophia's eyes lit up the moment she heard the name and responded to him with a smile. 'She was right, he came to his senses and remembered his childhood sweetheart.' "Yes, my darling, Luke Schneider," she replied, using the name he used when they were still writing to each other to remind him of the past. When Tyler came back to Austr
"What are you doing here?" Jade icily said to Tyler. It wasn't just her voice that was so cold but her eyes held no warmth in them as they stared at Tyler. The court decided in favor of Jade, dissolving their marriage, They have nothing to do with each other. "Can we talk?" There was a hint of pleading in Tyler's tone. "What is there to talk to? We already parted ways and there is nothing to talk about us," Jade said and walked past Tyler. "I just want to tell you about the girl I knew from the orphanage when I was young," Tyler said, making Jade stop walking. She turned to face him. "It has nothing to do with me. Go to Sophia, she will gladly entertain you." The pain that flickered in his eyes had been noticed by Jade. But chose to ignore and walked away. It was another chance given to him from above to hear her that day in the memorial park. Tyler wouldn't let this chance slip away, otherwise he will regret it as long as he lives. "Rach
No. Never. He wouldn't let Jade go. He will devise anything so he could keep her by his side. Jade sneered. "You hadn't changed Tyler. You have no qualms using your children to tie me up. And are you going to use my brother's crime also to make me obey you like a dog?" "I never used an underhanded method to get what I want. You're the only exception. I couldn't live without you Jade," Tyler replied, there was no trace of agitation in his voice rather the tone of his voice was pleading. "I will never deprive you of your right for the children because you're their father. But, we have nothing to do with each other. It's better this way," Jade left after voicing her mind. Tyler watched Jade as the distance was eating up Jade's departing figure, until he finally could not see her and left. Jade had just gotten back from her rounds and walked into her office. A flower filled office welcomed her. She felt like she walked into the field of flowers. Diffe
Craning her neck, Jade looked up at the man towering over her. Her eyes grew large upon seeing the smile adorning his godly face, making him more attractive. Tyler held his breath when her mesmerizing blue eyes regarded him, studying his face. Quick as a flash, Tyler carried her in his arms, bridal style and walked towards the table. Jade hit his chest while saying, "Put me down!" "I will," he said with a hint of amusement in his voice. He settled Jade on the couch. After which he sat next to her. But Jade put safe distance between them by seating on the far end of the couch. "I don't bite," Tyler said, chuckling while putting food on the plate. "Better safe than sorry," Jade mumbled to herself. Jade forgot that Tyler has a good hearing. "I won't do anything that you are not willing to do with me. I will wait for you until you accept me again and allow me to make – " Tyler's next word died down on his throat when Jade pounced at hi
Apart from pecking her cheek from time to time while they had their meal. Tyler behaved himself and did nothing naughty. From the outside, the butler could hear the intermittent giggling from Jade. And it made him smile at the thought that they already made up. When they were done eating, Tyler summoned the butler but not after capturing Jade's lips for another intense kiss. "Are you staying here?" Jade asked when Tyler seemingly has no plan to leave. "Don't chase me away, baby," Tyler said while he hugged her from behind, he was acting like a kid which gained a chuckle from her She turned to him and cupped his jaw. Staring into his hazel eyes. "But, I have to do consultations. Are you sure you won't get bored?" "How do I get bored when watching my woman in action?" He replied. Jade crossed her arms just below her bosom and said, "You're getting better and better at sweet - talking." "I'm sincere, baby," Tyler raised his hand to show that
A crease emerged between Tyler's brows as he frowned. He wanted to show the whole world that Jade was his and he belonged to her. Just the same, he couldn't complain to her for keeping their relationship from the public. "Alright, I'll wait for you," he said with a sigh.Jade shook her head when he heard him sigh. Right away after the call, Jade gathered her things and took her leave. In an instant she recognized Tyler's car, waiting for her near the hospital entrance. Taking ten steps forward, she reached the car. The driver opened the door for her. Soon after the door was closed, Jade was enclosed in Tyler's arms. He held her dearly like she was an irreplaceable treasure. "I missed you," he murmured in her ear. "Did you miss me too?" He asked. "Umm," she hummed her reply."I want to hear you say that you missed me," he demanded while planting feathery kisses on her neck."Tyler, what are you doing?" She got butterflies in her sto
As her daily routine while in the hospital Jade did her rounds. When her rounds came to conclusion, taking hurried steps, Jade made her way to her office and reached it in under five minutes. Consultations commenced immediately after her secretary spotted her entering the office. Taking the file of the first patient, Jade remembered the person who wreaked havoc in her marriage. While her eyes were trained on the patient's file, two people came in. She lifted her eyes and met Sophia Ludwig's parents. They seemed to have aged considerably after Sophia's scandalous action had been trending on the internet. Being the culprit of his marriage falling apart, Sophia was punished by Tyler for making sure no one could suppress the news about Sophia's immoral deed. No one dared to step forward to help Sophia suppress the spreading news knowing that if they did they were actually declaring a war against the ruthless business mogul, Tyler Zimmerman. In Au
