For the first time, Jade saw her son threw a tantrum. Tim was a boy who was easy to persuade but this time no matter how hard she convinced him, he stubbornly rejected Tyler. In the end, Tyler left the mother and son, and went back to the company. Tyler went to a shopping mall and bought toys for Tim after his meeting. Quickly, as soon as the car came to a full stop, Tyler got out of the car with the toys he bought for his son. Since Tyler bought whatever the sales person told him to be popular with kids at the time the driver had to follow him inside the mansion, carrying many bags filled with toys. If his cousin General Max hadn't overheard Jade, he would have no idea that he had a son with Jade. She asked him the night before his departure to New York. What would have happened if he realized earlier that he loved her from the beginning?Leaving him would never come across her vocabulary. Three whole years, no, four whole years. He wasn't there by Jade's side. A lugubrious lo
A wave of panic swept over Jade. Wine was banned in this house as Colton had gastritis. She couldn't have physical intimacy with Tyler while she was sober. She had to think of a way to stop him. She scurried to Colton's room and took out the sleeping pills from the drawer. She ate three sleeping pills. Then came back to her room. Hastily, she came into the walk-in cabinet and took a t- shirt for him and placed them on the chair near the bed. Without missing a bit she slipped under the covers and closed her eyes. Tyler chuckled as soon as he saw her sleeping. "Escaping from me, wife? Try all you can but you can't outsmart me," he stripped his robe and dove into the bed. Tyler tried to wake her up by nibbling her lips but there was not a single response from her nor did she stir. Once again, he bit her lower lip a little hard but she didn't react. "Jade, Jade, love wake up," he patted her face but she hadn't woken up. Tyler recollected her vomiting episode. He jumped from the b
Bowing her head and looking at her toes, Jade replied. "What are you going to do if I told you, I hated you with all my heart?"Her answer was like a punch at his chest making him hard to breathe. A moment of silence spread across the room beforeTyler said, "Tell me what to do to erase your hatred." "A clever man does not need someone to tell what he needed to do," Jade answered softly, rendering Tyler speechless. The sound of the door latching to the door jamb told Jade that she's alone in the room. Still feeling lethargic, Jade went back to the bed. She stared at the white ceiling, lapsing into a gloomy self -absorption and lost track of time. A knock on the door brought back Jade from her musing. "Come in," she assented and sat up. "Mom," Jade said in a chirpy manner when Cecilia's figure emerged from outside. "How are you? Tyler called me and asked me to look after you," Cecilia said while she drew near to Jade. Two servants came in to bring food and clothes for Jade. "T
"Mommy, we are going to an amusement park," Tim bubbled over, his hazel eyes, like that of Tyler were twinkling in excitement Jade shifted her gaze from her high spirited son to the man sitting next to her quietly. Bedazzling pairs of hazel green eyes met her enchanting blue ones. Instinctively Luke knew she was asking for an explanation and didn't wait for her to talk. "He said he wanted to spend time with you as you haven't spent much time with him lately." Guilt pang spread across her chest. Truly she hadn't spent much time with her son for the past few days.Jade cupped her son's face and kissed his forehead dotingly. "Let mommy make it up to you." Jade stood to get her bag and they left for the amusement park. As they were happily walking after a fun filled ride, they crossed paths with the people Jade didn't want to see. Tyler with Jason in his arms while his chin rested on Tyler's broad shoulders and Sophia whose hands clung to Tyler's arm. The sight brought an immense p
Each passing moment that there was no response from Jade, his heartbeat escalated. He kicked the door numerous times but it was not a low quality door that could be kicked open. He decided to look for a spare key and without thinking what people would think about him he shouted for Wilbur. Tyler's booming voice reverberated in the whole house waking everyone else. "Sir, what's the matter?" Wilbur said as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Spare key on Jade's bathroom," Tyler yelled. The urgency in Tyler's voice woke up Wilbur. As Tyler ran back to Jade's room he saw Tim walking towards Jade room. "Go back to your room!" He said in a commanding tone. Tim, whose sleep was disturb because of all the noises, cried out loud, feeling aggrieved.Tyler felt helpless, he was torn between coaxing his son and going back to the room. "Tim," Pearl hugged Tim to pacify him and took him back to his room. Gregory, who just woken up by the commotion, sobered instantly when he heard Tyler was demand
Swallowing his anger was all Tyler could do as he watched the doctor leave.Afraid that a fight would break out if Luke followed Jade inside the hospital suite, Jared talked to Luke to stay in the corridor which the latter acquiesced. To Luke, Jade's welfare was his utmost priority so he didn't insist on coming inside her suite. Inside the hospital suite."Tyler, did you do anything to her before she slit her wrist?" Cecilia asked after a long silence. Tyler looked at Cecilia and then at Jared, in shame he lowered his head, unable to look at them. "I forced myself on her," Tyler replied, pure remorse laced his tone "Oh no," Cecilia felt sorry for Jade and somewhat angry with Tyler. "Mom, you have to tell brother so he won't do stupid things again," Jared knew about Jade's illness and to stop Tyler from doing any further damage to Jade he has to know Jade's mental condition. Tyler looked up. "What must I know about my wife?" Cecilia looked at Jade. With her eyes closed and lying
"It's your deep seated feeling for her that caused you to do it and don't tell me you didn't do it with her before we got married," Jade was already fuming at the end of interlocution. "You're the first woman I had physical intimacy with," Tyler's admission stunned Jade momentarily. However, scoff followed her surprise. Tyler sighed. "I know, no one would believe me that I reached 30 without any sexual activity when women practically threw themselves to me."It was the truth that women offered themselves to him but no one evoked a desire in him. Solely, Jade was the one who had activated his passion without even trying to seduce him. "You're together with Sophia now, why don't you just let me go?" Jade went back to the thorn between them. Although she was his first, he had been unfaithful to her during their marriage. "We aren't together," Tyler's answer gained a laugh from Jade. Tyler fixedly looked at her laughing face that is now more alluring than ever. "A man and a woman
It sounded like she's a selfish and cruel woman that she targeted an innocent boy. However, Jason's existence was like a thorn in her heart, a constant reminder of her husband's infidelity. Intently, she watched his reaction like a hawk. Bowing his head, Tyler looked at the floor with set jaw and clenched fists. His chest rising up and falling down like waves due to heavy breathing.His reaction didn't go unnoticed to her keen eyes. Her heart felt as though being stung by hundreds of bees at the sight of Tyler. "You're in a dilemma, isn't it?" Tyler raised his head and saw her lips curled up in a smile but her eyes spoke a different story. "I know you love your and Sophia's son." Tyler was tongue tied and couldn't utter a single word. "Please, let me go. Tim and I won't appear before you so you can go back to your normal life," Jade said, reconsidering her decision on giving Tyler another chance because she desired to give Timothy a complete family. One thing, however, she didn
