They were merely married on paper and she felt uncomfortable using his money.For a married couple, it's just a normal thing for a woman to use her husband's card. In their case, they aren't a real couple. She was being sensible to use her own money. "I'm your husband hence you have the right to use my money," Tyler said coldly with his eyes fixed on Jade's face. Jade couldn't help but to snicker. "I think you forgot something. Let me remind you… our marriage was just a facade to cover up our mission." With fluid motion, Tyler snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her to him, eradicating the gap between their bodies. Her quick reflex enabled her to place her hands on his chest so she won't collide into his chest. "You're my legal wife," Tyler's voice was dangerously low but attractive like music to the ear. "As your legal husband, it's my responsibility to take care of your needs."Upon hearing Tyler's words, her complexion turned ashen. Alarm bells ringing in her head. 'Di
For the past few days, Tyler didn't bother Jade just to give her ample time to do the hacking. They live a harmonious life like a real couple. Having breakfast together before leaving her alone to do her task and would come for lunch to eat with her then leave, only to come back for dinner. As per request from Tyler, he would cuddle Jade to sleep. That was the intimacy they shared but never went beyond. Jade was rather perplexed that she was already used to the warmth of his body. While engrossed in her hacking, the phone beside her laptop suddenly rang. "Jade," Terrence's voice carried a hint of elation which Jade picked up easily. Jade's heart skipped a beat and held her breath. "I found him!" Terrence exclaimed in joy. "Really!" Jade stood up from the couch. She couldn't stop the tears rolling down from her eyes to her cheeks. "I approached him and told him that you have been searching for him," Terrence voice quivered a little, he knew the story of Jade and her brother.
"Tyler, we got the ring leader," Jade wasn't aware that she hugged Tyler because she was elated that finally she could avenge her parents. Her parents death had to do with the rebels who wanted to topple down the government. The information she gathered was more than enough to squash the rebellion. Jade handed him all the information she had gathered. This information could be used to squash the rebellion. Their country has been plagued by these rebellious people who always come against the government. "Great job," Tyler said but there was no trace of joy in him. Jade stared at the man in front of her. She was bewildered that he was apparently not sharing the same feelings as her. "Are you feeling ill?" Jade placed her hand on his forehead to check if he had a fever. Jade was thrown off guard when Tyler gathered her in his arms and leaned his chin on her shoulder like a clingy husband. He never did this, sure they cuddled every night when it was time to sleep so he could sl
When they were brought to the orphanage. The orphanage director changed their names for their protection. Concealing their identities will remove all traces that would be use by the murderers to track them. "Who are you?" Although his brother was the only living person who knew about her nickname, she still wanted to check. She didn't want to be reckless. "Jadey, it's Colton," Jade's brother excitedly replied. Jade was silent and hadn't replied. Colton could sense her reluctance and said a lot of things particularly the naughty things she did when she was a little girl that only her brother knew about. One of them was the time Colton caught her numerous times sneaking in the middle of night just to eat ice cream. She pleaded with him not to tell their parents about her sneaking in the night just to eat ice cream. Her parents forbid her to eat sweets as she became hyperactive and couldn't keep up with her. "Brother," Jade became emotional and her voice trembled. She clutched t
After the day they were back in Austria. Jade received a call from Colton and asked to see her. "Colton, I am already here," Jade said to Colton over the phone while she anxiously looked around. Not knowing how she would react to seeing her brother after a long, long years of separation made her jittery. A handsome gentleman in a bespoke three piece suit was making his way to her. Jade stared at the man, he was the spitting image of their father. No doubt that the man approaching her was her brother. "Colton," Jade whispered, she looked at the man with blurry eyes as tears gathered around her eyes. "Jadey?" Colton looked at the beautiful woman in front of her who looked like his mother. While Colton looked like his father he had his mother's gray eyes and Jade had her father's blue eyes. Colton didn't give a thought about the people around them. He hugged Jade and twirled around just like he always does to her when they were younger. Jade giggled with tears in her eyes. She f
For almost two weeks Tyler didn't come home. He and General Max had been planning how to foil the plan of the rebels within their ranks. All the information gathered by Jade was used. The enemy had no idea that they were being hacked by Jade. Her skill in hacking was a top notch, entering their system without noticing it. On the other hand, Jade and Colton always see each other. "I'm alone in my apartment, you can live with me if you want," Colton said while they were having their meals. Jade cocked her head up and gulped. "What? You don't like to live with me?" Colton noticed her reluctance and was badly hurt. He wanted to be with her to make up the time they missed. But here she was, unwilling to live with him. "No… I don't mean that…" Jade shook her head incessantly while lowering her head."Then, why are you reluctant?" Colton smirked as he suddenly thought something. "You have a boyfriend?" Jade raised her head abruptly with wide eyes and open mouth. "I don't have a boyf
It didn't sit well on Tyler that she had avoided his touch as if he was carrying deadly virus. With a dark countenance he eyed her. "Go and freshen up, we are going out for dinner." Jade wasn't able to stop her eyebrow cocking up and asked, "What's the occasion?" "Do we need an occasion to dine outside?" Tyler sneered, answering her question with a question. Jade shrugged her shoulders and turned to go upstairs. While she was trudging to their bedroom, Jade tried hard to find the reason why he was taking her out for dinner. It wasn't her birthday and neither he, Tyler had just celebrated his birthday weeks ago. She gave up when she couldn't find a plausible reason. Tyler rubbed the spot between his eyebrows as he watched his wife having no idea what the occasion was. They have been married for a month today and he had come home to take her out for dinner. So, it was just him who remembered their monthsary. His mood was dampened even more as Jade seemed not to be excited see
In a blink of an eye, Tyler's mouth covered Jade's mouth. Jade couldn't make out if it was his kiss or the wine she tasted from his mouth that intoxicated her.It was their second kiss. The first was initiated by her just to escape the danger she was in at that time. But now, Tyler started it under the influence of alcohol. If he wasn't under the influence of alcohol he wouldn't do it. That alone woke up Jade from daze and pushed Tyler away. Nevertheless, even in his state Tyler was way stronger than her. He didn't let go of her lips. He explored and plundered her sweet mouth as if there was no tomorrow. "Tyler," Jade murmured against his lips, her heart beating like a small animal fighting to free itself from a net. "Mm," he hummed in her mouth, not stopping from ravishing her mouth. Jade had to stop him. She was sure that when he became sober, all the blame would be upon her. She was the sober one between the two of them and it should be her to stop this thing from getting a
