Annoyed, Jade took the cellphone from the pocket of her jacket because it didn’t stop from ringing. She knew that the young man would not stop until his call was answered. She doesn’t want to block him because it is certain that he’s going to come up with his nonsense to the gay guy. “Where are you?” he arrogantly asked the girl when she answered his call. “What do you need?” she also asked in response to him. “I just want to make sure you’re okay there.”Her eyes rolled, and she didn’t like the young man showing her so much affection. “Now that you know I’m okay, maybe you can stop calling me and wasting my phone’s battery.” Instead of being annoyed by the girl’s rudeness, Tristan smiled. Even though he couldn’t see the girl, he knew her face couldn’t be painted and frowned. “See you tomorrow, babe!” Jade ignored what the young man said. She was off quickly and had to line up because it was flight time. Tristan casually leaned back on the seat after talking to Jade. He just st
“Hey man, we didn’t talk about you introducing me to your parents, and you’re the same on my side!” Jade’s nose almost started to smoke because of annoyance. The airplane was ready to fly, and she even managed to call the young man. How can she not panic? His message contained that he will follow her with his parents to introduce himself to her father. “Oh come on, sweety, I’m easy to talk to. Just always answer my calls, so I don’t turn you around!” He smiled even though the girl couldn’t see him.“Tristan, who are you talking to?”Jade frowned when she heard the soft voice of a woman from the other end. She was unable to answer Tristan and was curious as to who was with him now. “Jerk! The thick face and acting possessive of me when he is with another woman!” she whispered to herself. She was annoyed that the call was cut off because the flight attendant signaled to her that the gadgets had to be turned off or set to airplane mode.Tristan stared at his phone with raised eyebrows
Tristan’s jaw was clenched when he received the message from his staff in the province. Attached to that message were photos of Jade. “Sir, he was the one who picked up Ms. Jade from the airport and took her to a hotel. I also found out that he is the CEO of the said hotel, and he is your girlfriend’s childhood friend.” Tristan read Carlo’s message. He quickly pressed the call button and called the staff that was already guarding Jade there. “Sir?”“Book me in a room close to her room but use your name. Make sure it’s right next to her room. Also, keep an eye on that man and find out his status.”“Yes, sir!” Carlo quickly answered his boss. What he thought earlier was that he was going to shout at him and heap his anger on him. Tristan immediately hung up on the cellphone when he saw his mother approaching him. Patricia is still there and doesn’t want to leave. “Son, when are you going to court Patricia?” Cheska’s caressed to her only child. “Mom, you know my type of woman and Pa
“Are you okay here?” Jade looked around the large room. That room was for VIPs and she liked the ambiance. Not far from the exclusive room available at the hotel where she works. She peeked through the large glass window and pulled back the curtain that hung there. It’s nice to see the bottom of the hotel, especially, and every building is bright because of the lights. It was late at night, and she didn’t want to disturb her friend. “I’m fine here, thanks!” She looked at her friend, smiling. “The food I ordered from the restaurant is coming. If you need anything else, I’m just on the next floor.” She nodded to her friend. He has his own room in the said hotel, and she knows that her friend often sleeps there.Tyler even waved at his friend before finally leaving her room. He will also sleep in the hotel, and he is too lazy to travel home. It didn’t take long for her food to arrive. Her friend really knows her favorite foods. She had just taken a few bites when her cellphone rang.
Jade sighed as she looked around their family’s former home. The surroundings have changed a lot. Then, a bitter smile appeared on her lips when she could no longer see the small hut. Her father’s second family really changed everything in their house. She could be bitter, but she couldn’t stop herself from being envious and jealous now. Her mother is fine, she has moved on from the destruction of their family. But about her? She thought she had moved on. But the pain returned now that she was in front of her former residence. Even her mother’s garden had been changed by her father’s new wife. She seemed to want to repent and even thought of visiting her father. “Jade?” Jade blinked when she saw the old woman come out of the house.“Jade, it’s you!” Nora approached Jade with a sigh. Jade burst into tears when she met the lady. She thought that there were no memories left in that house. She didn’t think her former nanny was still working there. Nora tearfully hugged the girl and w
“You heard your father? Go away!” Liza yelled at the girl. “I’m leaving, but I’ll take my daddy with me, so he can get a better treatment!” She approached her father and held him by the arm. “No, you have no right to take my husband! Let him go!” Liza angrily slapped Jade’s hand. “Nanny, help me get Daddy out of here,” Jade called out to the lady and strongly patted Liza on the shoulder. “Ouch, honey, your daughter is hurting me! Don’t let her take you away from me!” Jade hastened to help her father stand up, who seemed to be blind not only in heart and mind but also in sight.“Let go of me, I won’t go with you!” Jade stared dumbfounded at her father and managed to grab his arm again. Even Aunt Nora was surprised to hear it. She wanted to cry out of pity for her father. He cries and looks like he no longer has the ability to fight or is afraid of being alone in life. “You’ll leave me again like your mother did. They are now my family, and they love me!” Luke waved his hands awa
Upon arriving at the hotel, Jade sat on the bed and felt annoyed. She looked at her cellphone and she hadn’t even received a message since that morning. The annoyance she felt only increased.“You’re still pretending not to be interested and angry when he calls you.” She was scolding herself. “Huh, I’m not upset now because he hasn’t shown any signs all day!” She felt disappointed. “Goodness, you’re still denying it? Remember that he has someone following you to ensure your safety.” Even her crippled mind teased itself.“Urgh, I don’t care if he never calls again!” she exclaimed at the same time. She was about to enter the bathroom when someone knocked. “Ma’am, are you all right there?” Jade recognized the man’s voice. She didn’t know that he was still there outside her room. “Yes, I am. Go back to your room.” “Umm, Ma’am, could you please turn on your cellphone?” Carlo begged and stayed where he was.Jade looked at her cellphone in wonder. It was alive, and she didn’t switch it
Surprised by the young man’s kiss on her, she pushed him hard. But because he was hugging her, she fell on the bed with him, and she was lying on top of him. A sympathetic smile appeared on Tristan’s lips, and he tightened his arm around the girl’s waist. “Stop smiling!” She slightly slapped the young man’s face in annoyance. “I miss you!” She paused from moving away from Tristan’s body. She seemed to be enchanted, staring into his eyes as he spoke. For a moment, she forgot everything, and it was as if the young man had hypnotized her.Tristan raised his right hand and gently caressed the girl’s cheek. She was blushing, so she remembered why he was in such a hurry to get there earlier. “Who made you cry earlier?” Her mouth was open, and she stared at the young man’s face in surprise. She was confused by his questions. “I know you cried earlier. Did your stepmother hurt you?”Jade quickly shook her head. The aura of the young man’s face was dark, and she knew he was angry again.
