The woman's scent danced aggressively in the dark night of New York, almost choking Jade."Carrie" Xavier gestured for her to come over. "How was your flight?"Carrie majestically walked to them and dropped her purse on the table."Relaxing!" She looked at Jade with a frown but turned to him with a smile."So Raquel was right after all" "Jade, this is Carrie. She is one of my subordinates and Carrie, Jade. She is my fiancée" He introduced. Jade offered a handshake but Carrie didn't take it."Nice to meet you, again" Carrie threw her a fake smile."You know each other?" He asked looking from one woman to the other."She bumped into me at the mall and ruined a five thousand dollar blouse" Carrie smiled. "But don't worry, I don't hold grudges. We are good, right Jade?" Jade ignored her."Why don't you freshen up and your dinner will be served in your room?" Xavier changed the topic."This looks fine to me. I'll just eat a little and call it a night" Jade maintained a practiced smile. X
Jade tossed around the bed in awkward positions.One of her legs was sticking out of the duvet while her hair was in mess on a pillow.She mubbled something and finally sat up and the brightness from the french windows almost blinded her.Of course! That was why she was uncomfortable.Her eyes finally rested on the mannequin that stood in the middle of her room.She scuffled out of bed to admire the dress on it.“Wow" She couldn't deny the fact that it was a very pretty dress, and expensive too!She definitely knows expensive when she sees it. Plus she's in Xavier's house and he doesn't like to hide his riches.It was a black dress embroidered with black precious stones and pearls.What caught her attention was the veil.Jade had to move around it to get a better look.That was when she realized how long it was and her jaw dropped.“Holy shit!" She stared at it, trying to deny what her brain was saying.“Yes, that's your wedding dress" Xavier said which made her jump.She turned to se
One way or the other, she must escape today.“I want to go for a drive" Jade informed Xavier the very next day.She felt suffocated staying in her room and having to look at that goddamn dress every fucking time she walked in.She was grateful for it though, it served as a reminder.“ Aren't you supposed to be…”" I'm fine” She said with a little bit of desperation.He granted her the wish and she picked the car of her choice.Jade happily drove out of the mansion knowing that she'll never see it again.When she hit the express, she noticed Xavier's men following from a safe distance.“Of course” She muttered with the roll of her eyes.She knew she can't afford to fail.Soon enough, she got stuck at a traffic light.Perfect!Jade stuck her head out of the window to scan around and finally spotted Lily in a Corolla.She sneakily climbed out of the car and crawled to the other side of the road to meet her friend." Jay!” Lily happily hugged her. " I'm happy to see you. What happened yes
It wasn't like any other day.From the warm milk that caressed her naked body to the red rose petals that danced to the waves.The soft silk robe that hugged her body to the slight raking of the comb through her brown hair.The moisture of the cream melting down her skin to the different texture of brushes sweeping across her face.The soft laughter of the servant girls rhymed with the deafening silence in her head.From the pins in her hair to the cold diamonds around her throat, even down to the oddly comfortable heels that swallowed her feet.The zipping of the dress and the pinning of the veil.Black roses placed in her cold palms as she was led to the Cathedral with a long tail following behind. All she heard was the wedding bells.Wedding bells that signified unity.Wedding bells that signified beginning.Wedding bells that signified happy ending.But her bells only rang with an warning.A known warning.She was dressed in all black.Matching into what seemed to be her beginnin
Excitement was an understatement.She was ecstatic and overwhelmed!This pleasure has definitely replaced the anger and trauma she felt.But for how long.Jade knew it'd last for a very considerable amount of time when she woke up the next day and he was still with her in bed.His arms wrapped protectively around her waist.Their toes mingled and she silently listened to his steady heartbeat.Slowly lifting her head, she adjusted her meesy hair to take a proper look at his face.Jade never liked his piercing but now she realized how nice they looked on him.Even his nose ring was kinda seductive.‘Behave yourself, Jade!’She didn't know if it was because she got laid or she as actually meant it.Then his tattoos caught her attention.All these tattoos should have a meaning right?But what kind of experience made him get all that?Were they good or bad?How many times or how bad can a man really get hurt?She traced from the little upsidedown crucifix just below his left eye down to hi
Jade felt the rush of adrenalin in her bloodstream and the cold air roughly brush pass her face.She stopped to catch her breath.She has been doing more of this morning run for a good amount of days now since Xavier decided to completely neglect her for his work.And she couldn't help but notice it was because of someone in particular.Who could that be? Who is taking away his attention?A he or she?Carrie mentioned it was a he the other time.She wasn't really sad because she expected it. She was in on this only for the fuck anyways.Jade felt her head turn and nauseousness settled in her gut.Her mouth turned sour and she felt dizzy.She held her abdomen as she fell to her knees and vomited close to the water.Why is she feeling like shit?Jade stood to her feet but still felt dizzy. Her head light and she didn't feel her body.“Look who we have here" Carrie jogged to her.Great, she wished for her husband and this one shows up.“I don't have your time, Carrie" Jade simply stated.
Jade didn't have a hard time convincing Xavier to go to the seafood restaurant with her.“You know, we could just stay in and I promise to make you feel really good" Xavier complained on their way to the restaurant.She loved the way they walked in the sand, under the bright stars.“No. I'm tired of staying in" She wrapped her hands around his waist. “Don't you wanna go out with me? Are you ashamed or you just wanna pick work over me" “Fine!" He tickled her, making her jump with a giggle.“Xavier Stone!" She exclaimed.“Whoa…the full name now, huh?" He tickled her some more until she got away from him.“Stop it! If you fail to notice, we are in public!”" Isn't that what you wanted?” He smiled."Stop being a rascal!”They walked into the restaurant and placed their orders." I'm not really a big fan of seafood” They way he made his face when he tasted the food made her laugh." What? It makes my throat…" “...Say yikes" She completed the sentence with a sad smile, making Xavier look
Jade quickly put on her knittens and opened the small oven in her tiny kitchen.The hot air lightly hit her face as she pulled out a tray of baked bread.She smiled to herself for such an achievement because she was still learning and had a long way to go.“Oh my!" She quickly dropped it on the kitchen counter and rushed to the pot on the fire, turning it off.She breathed a breath of relief when she realized her beef didn't burn at all.“Now for my soup" She picked her basket with a smile and headed out of the cabin door.Her little cabin stood on a little hill.She was so glad she got it the moment she found this place. It was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful meadows.With simple farm sandals and a weaved basket in her hand, she set out for the nearby market.She was surrounded by mostly farms so everyone buys fresh food from the market.She located her favorite stand in an instant.Jade hadn't been here no less than a month but she was already well acquainted with the whole tow
