I had planned on sharing a room with my children but, Max deliberately got in the way of that. However, I had already done what I wanted to do.All that was left was an opportunity to strike. I got up and smiled, "Okay, Max. Let's go to your bedroom." Once we entered Max's bedroom, he locked the door. However, I refused to do anything and just stood by the door with my arms folded, raging inside. Undiscouraged by the change in my behavior, Max walked to the bed and took off his clothes, one after the other until he was standing in his birthday suit. He walked back to me and began to unbutton my jacket. Afterward, he turned me so I could face the door, and pulled off the jacket, dumping it on the floor. I felt his lips on the crook of my neck and my body stiffened as he pulled down my gown until I was also in my birthday suit. He turned me to face him afterward and held my cheeks to kiss me but I turned my face away.He lifted me off the ground and carried me bridal style t

After walking out on Max, Jade decided to go home and get her luggage since it had been agreed that she could move into the house. The words Max had spoken to her kept ringing in her head and she didn't know why they made her feel very upset. When she got to her house, she packed her stuff before coming back to Max's house. She had thought he would leave and return to work, so she would be able to spend time with the children, but then she saw him in the living room, apparently waiting for her. Ignoring him, she walked past him with her luggage but he asked, "Do you need help unpacking? Don't forget, you're going to be staying in my room." "I'm sure they are other rooms in this house," she immediately replied. "I'd like to move into one of those rooms if you don't mind." Max got up and smiled, "Well, I mind and that's why I don't see that happening. Afterall we had an agreement. If you're going to be living in this house, you'll stay in my room. If you do not want that, I won't

JADESeeing that there was no use fighting with Max over Henry whom I loathed, I sighed, "Fine! You win, Max." He furrowed his brows in confusion and I continued, "I am going to explain myself to you even though you do not deserve it." I walked back to the living room and down on the couch. He followed behind me and sat down as well, waiting for me to speak. "Yes, I met up with my ex, Henry. I'm not comfortable with you referring to him as my first love. Yes, he was. But I'd rather you just called him my ex." "I'm still waiting for you to go ahead and tell me why you got all dressed up and made yourself look sexy just to go and meet with him in a private house," he replied. "Isn't it obvious? I did it for revenge," I told him. "Revenge?" He was surprised. I rolled my eyes, "Yes, Max, revenge. Have you forgotten that most of what I suffered was because of Henry? When he was dying, I sold my body to you, just to get money for his treatment, but what happened? I never got a d

JADE But what was I going to do? "You know, you could come with us to Paris," Angel told me. "Mason and I are not going right away. You can make plans and save up. Even if there's no one else besides you, you have me and I promise that no matter what happens, we will survive together in Paris." This time, I seriously considered Angel's words and said, "Okay. I will make plans." It was easier said than done. I was jobless and almost penniless. I spent the night thinking and finally made up my mind; I was going to do the kind of job I hated. I had gotten many opportunities before but refused to take them. Linda, a girl I worked with before had told me, "You have the body and looks for this job. What you will earn from one client in a day will be better than what you will make running night shifts in six months." I had turned down Linda's advice to become an escort for quick money because I did not want to find myself at the mercy of any man. However, that no longer seemed
