After she slept , I went toward her to make sure that she is sleeping. She was looking so innocent only when she slept... I thought and smiled.
I bend my knee to be in her level , she frowned a little because of the hair on her face . For a second all my hatred toward her was gone .
I gently brushed her hair from her face . She is so beautiful like an angel .
what is wrong with you Alex ??
don't forget why you marry her to take revenge for making you away from your daughter Angel....
Only if she didn't told the media the truth Angel would have been with me.
I hate the day when I brought her here .... the day I revealed my secret for the first time .
I immediately went away from her my heart again filled with hatred I trusted her so much I told a secret which I never said to anyone not even my close friends , may be she is beautiful but the witch was behind that beautiful mask..... A betrayer.
I walked toward the moon as the moonlight fell on my face .
It reminded me of that day when Jade came to my room .Flash back
Jade p.o.v
"Alex.... " I broke the peace full silence. He is still looking at the beautiful moon.
" Alex," I called him again.
"Hmmm... " He finally looked at me like he came out from his deep thoughts.
"Is Angela your own daughter?" I ask.
I know that it's a personal question and I have no right to ask him this but curiosity was killing me.
His body tense up again, I put my hand on his broad shoulder
To calm him down, and I guess it's working because his body slowly relaxes a bit, so I continue "look Alex if you don't want to tell me it's "-but He cut me off .
"No I want to...." I looked at him, his gaze was intense at me for a moment I wanted to lose in it. What's lost in it is you out of your mind Jade... I scold myself internally.
I tried to divert my mind so I looked at the moon feeling calm.
"Her name was Ellie, Sh- she was my best friend, I have loved her since childhood.. Jade I loved her all my life. And after we graduate college our parents decided that I will get engaged with Ellie. I can't tell you how happy I was that my childhood dream was coming true, but you know life is not as easy as it looks. " He chuckled at his own words. But it was not happy , it was sad. He continue" when we got engaged she looked happy ,she told me she loves me and I stupidly believed her words. How can I suspect her unhappiness? After two months I saw her, " He took a deep breath like he didn't want to breakdown In front of me," I -I saw a person in her bedroom making out ." A tear escape from my cheek", I was broken after that day I broke off my engagement and tried my best to build my name I didn't wanted to be that man who ruined himself or other people just because his heart is broken I knew that I might not fall in love again so I just focus on my professional life thinking that everything is over between me and Ellie But she return in my life again but not alone with a baby, she begged me to took care of her child because she has cancer and Angel father abandoned her and Ellie parents didn't wanted to accept the child because they said it's illegitimate and it will ruined their reputation so I was her only choice left . It was her last wish so I accepted it. From that day Angel not only became my daughter but also my life, Angel is not my blood but she is my life I love her dearly after Ellie death I completely adopted Angel so that no one can take her away from me in future Ellie never told me who was her biological father and I never asked her"
He turned toward me. "Jade nobody knows that Angel is not my daughter except my parents, promise me you will not tell this to anyone. Please " he pleaded from his eyes and my heart filled with undeniable respect for him .
People like Alex actually exist in this world . I had a huge respect for him today .
I wiped my cheek "I promise "
---------------Flash back end
Alex p.o.v
She promised yet .... She broke it ,seperated me from my angel .
Ring
Ring
Ring
I look toward my bed stand as my phone started ringing , I check the caller ID
My P.A
I look at Jade then slowly make my way out of the room.
I received the call ....
'' Did you contact them'' I said in a professional authoritative tone
'' Yes sir, they are coming tomorrow morning . She said in a professional tone .
''Good , I will meet them tomorrow. I just want Jade mother treatment to start as soon as possible. I want the best doctor specialist to understand'' I made it clear to her .
''Yes sir, you don't worry they are the best and one of the top surgeons'' she confirmed .
''Good I will meet them tomorrow morning okay'' I said
"Okay good night sir "
"Good night..... "I hung up the call
I started thinking of that day when Jade bumped into me.Flash back
I was coming out from Gulmohar Grand when someone bumped into me. I looked up at her Jade , anger built up in me but immediately changed into concern when I saw how distraught she was looking. She didn't look up at me and ran to the hotel , I followed her slowly , I hide beside the pillar , I saw some girl take her to the corner and said something slowly to her she looks angry mixed with distraught I came little close I got to know that her mother is in hospital and they need money for the operation .
I really wanted to help her , I know I hate her but it's not her mother's fault but if I help her she will think I have forgiven her and what about my revenge then an idea comes in my mind and the rest you know.....
Flash back end
IN THE MORNING
JADE P.O.V
I open my eyes with a smile , but that vanished immediately when I saw that monster sleeping peacefully in the ground. I pushed the blanket and went toward the closest , I took out a black full sleeves top and blue tight Jeans. Then went to the washroom not before making faces to his sleeping figure.
I came out from the washroom , I went to the mirror and started drying my hair with a towel as I was drying my hair locks when I saw in the mirror that Alex was staring at me intensely. I don't know why but I froze in my spot .
I don't know how long we were watching each other like this but I averted my gaze from him.
'' I know , I am beautiful but that doesn't mean you will give me a creepy stare " it's definitely not creepy . I told him I was still drying my hair.
'' Huhh...." He looks like he came out from his reverie .
'' aren't you full of yourself?'' He asked, standing up.
I just shrugged not answering him . He didn't say anything and went to the washroom .
I heard my phone ring a smile appear on my lips when I saw the caller ID.
" Is he treating you okay... And if he doesn't then I will come and kick in his shine so that hard tha-" I cut her off .
" Calm down Kacey, take a deep breath okay ..." I laugh at her cuteness
'' I am worried about you " she sighs .
" Well I am worried about you too.. did Ryan tried to contact you " I asked her feeling really worried . She broke up with him the day she got to know his truth .... Well Tristen truth as well.
Tristen !!!
" Don't take the name of that betrayer. I hate him and will never see his face ever again " she announced in anger .
" Okay... Okay... Don't get angry , you went to enjoy vacation right take your head of these things and enjoy " I was so engrossed in my pain that I completely forget how heartbroken she must be too.
" Yeah ... Wish you were here . Anyway I need to go bye " she hung up .
I went downstairs and I saw a lady in her middle age working in the kitchen .
'' smells good'' I said with a smile while leaning on the counter.
She smiled at me'' how are you dear, do you sleep well at night?
''Of Course she had'' a voice startled us.
We both looked at the upstairs Alex was walking toward us. He came beside me '' she slept peacefully Maria'' He said and glared at me .
I just smiled sweetly fueling his anger.
'' you both look so cute together''Maria looked at us lovingly.
We both look at each other and make weird faces .
We ate our breakfast if you think silently then no arguing with each other and saying mean things was part of it
I don't know what will happen next.
------------------------------------------------------JADE P.O.V
After we ate , I was ready to go to the hospital but that monster stopped me.
What the hell does he want now ??
'' where do you think you are going??'' He asked me or rather demanded.
I rolled my eyes at his tone .
I turned around he was standing on a few distance digging his hand in his pocket .
Did somebody told him that pose is quite hot .... wait hot I definitely hit my head hard on floor.
''And who the hell are you to question me?'' I cross my arms, raising my eyebrows .
'' your lawfully husband'' He said directly, staring into my eyes that for a second I became self conscious .
I shrugged'' so what do you want , should I dance for that'' I replied sarcastically
'' well'' He started coming closer '' it's not a bad idea though'' He smirked and obviously my cheeks turned red .
I stepped back and started to walk off but he again stopped me .
'' You can't go anywhere'' He told me firmly.
I turned around and looked at him like he had grown two heads.
'' I am going to meet my mother and you" I pointed my finger at him .
"Can't stop me understand''
'' well I can , you know I am paying for your mother treatment think if I stop paying then..... just imagine... and if you don't want that you will do as I say understand.'' His serious eyes boring into mine .
I felt anger boiling inside me. I clenched my fist in anger. '' you're a monster , don't you have a heart?
How can you do that to me? She is ill there and you are taking advantage of this situation , shame on you . You are a pathetic man . I couldn't believe once I thought you were a nice man.'' I yelled at him while tears flowed from my cheeks in anger, frustration and the pain not being able to meet my mother break my heart .
My parents are world to me .
He said nothing, just stood there like a statue , staring at me saying nothing '' I hate you'' I shouted again .
I started to walk past him but stopped beside him facing his opposite side. '' I wish I never met you'' as I walk past him . I don't know clearly but I think I heard him say '' me too''
I went to my room and close the door , I collapsed on the floor and started crying.
'' How can I ever friends with him , why did he came into my life " I shouted angrily tears are flowing from my eyes. I hold my head in frustration while crying in pain .
Alex p.o.v
'' Me too'' I whispered when she walked past me . I wish I never met you Jade.
I hate you too .
I stop her from going to hospital because I don't want her to know that I am doing all those things for her mom and besides that I want her to feel what I felt while I am away from my daughter. My Angela ......
In the hospital
After meeting with doctors in the hospital they make me sure that Jade mom's will be fine soon. I just hope that too ....
After that meeting when I came out from the cabin , I saw Mr. Petrikas staring at me with shining eyes or tearful eyes .
I walk toward him'' don't worry Mr Petrikas your wife will become well soon they are the best doctors . He nodded '' I know she will become well soon but I am sorry I thought you wrong. I thought you are the wrong person for my daughter but I know you are the best life partner she can have '' He pats my shoulder .
I doubt ....I thought
There is no way I am doing this to be her good life partner
I nodded at Mr Petrikas " I think I should leave, I have to go somewhere "
He nodded and I went from there.
I sat in my car before glancing at my wrist watch and drove to Angela school . After I reached, I got out of my car and headed to the school gate .
I saw Angela Nanny waiting for her outside the car . I went to her, she looked at me '' Hello Mr. Rider'' she greeted me. ''Hello'' I greeted her with a polite smile.
She was a middle aged woman. I hired her for Angela .
She used to stay in my house but after whatever happened .
She and Angela stay in my parents house .
I rub my hands nervously... hoping that my daughter forgive me and come back . I just cannot live without her anymore .
Angel is still upset with me and everyday I came here to see her but she never came to me.
'' Nanny'' Angel shouted as she started running toward us . I smiled at her , I kneeled down and opened my arms for her but she passed me and hugged Nanny . I was hurt would be an understatement .
I stand up a tear escaping from my eyes but I wipe it immediately. Nanny looked at me in sympathy then took her in the car. I watch the car zoom past taking my daughter away from me.
I clenched my fist in anger'' I hate you Jade....
------------------------------------------------------The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. - …JADE P.O.V I wake up in the sunlight , I yawn and push the blanket away . I looked at the room Alex was not in, he didn't come the whole night I thought. I went to the washroom to do my daily routine . I came out ready for my first day after getting married . I put on light makeup. I put my hair in a ponytail . After looking at the mirror last time I went downstairs. I saw Mary working in the kitchen. When her eyes landed on me , she smiled brightly. '' ohh dear you're awake , I make pancakes'' she serves me some delicious pancakes . '' It's amazing'' I compliment her. '' well thank you'' she smiled ." You know Alex is not a bad person " she spoke out of nowhere .I thought for second nodding my head " you are right " She smiled a little ." He is horrible, " I added and her smile dropped ." You both are so the same " she rolled her eyes ." Stubborn and idiot " I frown at her words " same ?" " Yeah…. He sai
Alex p.o.vshe slammed the door walking out from the room.Finally I made her cry and I should be happy right?? but no I am not but watching her cry that's all I wanted then why I am not getting peace ……. Clenching my jaw I look at the big city through the crystal clear window glass …Angel's crying face flashes in my mind reminding me again and again why I hate Jade so much .No matter what she has to pay for her deed. Jade p.o v"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him". I yelled in frustration. He ruined my life, my work and everything. First he took advantage of my mother's illness and married me for his revenge then he stopped me from meeting my mother and now he fired me from my job . Monster!!! He is a monster!!!I was walking in the parking lot alone when I heard some voices . I immediately turned around but the parking lot was empty. No one was there. It's like a horror film where the heroine is walking alone in the parking lot alone when the ghost attacks her. I was so depres
If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enoughAlex p.o.vGroaning in my sleep I slap my hand over the alarm clock that is ringing continuously but instead it continues ringing… irritated by the noise I got up to see its Jade alarm clock ringing continuously .What the hell …. Throwing off my blanket I stood over Jade who was sleeping soundly on the couch .She was sleeping in an unusual position that's surely going to put lots of pressure on her neck and her painful face will be a sight to watch after she wakes up .A smirk appears on my face thinking about it already .My eyes look at the alarm clock and continue to ring which brought a frown over my forehead . Is she dead ???Suddenly an evil idea switched on inside of my mind ." It's going to be a good Good morning sweetheart " I muttered with an evil smile .Bringing three loudspeakers, placing it carefully around her head ."1…2….3…play " "WHO LET THE DOG BARK BOW BOW BOW !" " WHO LET THE DOG BAR-" "
Jade p.o v I was laying in bed as usual. Alex didn't come the whole night. I don't know where he spent his nights . Thinking about today what happened between me and Alex in the parking lot. I know it's my fault that I came in front of his car but I couldn't help but go all hulk on him but when he cared about my elbow I couldn't help but feel tingles erupted in my elbow. I am thinking too much. It's all my delusion I guess.. I shook my head and drifted into sleep. Sunlight falls on my face making me aware that it's time for me to get up from my bed. I went to the bathroom to take a bath but when I tried to open the door it was jammed but after another push it opened. I walked in and hung my clothes to get ready for the bath . As I turned around I froze. Alex is lying in the bath and relaxing and his eyes are closed and foam covering his lower body. I am very thankful for the foam right now. I couldn't help but scream to escape my lips. His eyes jerk open and widen at the realisation
“Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.” – Elaine DavisJade p.o.v" How long does it take for you to get ready? " I was about to open the car door when Alex opened his useless mouth .I sat inside the car slamming the door .I saw his eyes close tightly then mutter something under his breath .Serve you better ha !" What happened Alex, is everything okay? " I pretended to be innocent but the teasing smile betrayed my lips .He gave a tight smile " not today…. Today is a good day… " he spoke before starting the car .I stuck my tongue out before looking out of the window .Today we are going to meet Alex's parents …His mother invited us to dinner … but I had a feeling that he was more excited for some other reason .Not that I care…. The car stops as the main gate opens revealing a stunning mansion before my eyes ." Are you serious? " I mutter in awe, watching the beautiful sight in front of me ." How exactly rich are you? " I quickly turned to him .Openi
Hatred masquerades as an ointment to hurt when in truth it is no more than gasoline for the flames.Jade p.o.vAlex's nostrils flared as he stared at me. I still couldn't believe he thought I was the reason for his daughter's hatred towards him .." Okay .." after a long silence that is the only word he said yet it felt so heavy in the atmosphere .Without a word he walked into the storm upstairs .I gulp. I know he must be reaching new heights of hating my guts .But how am I supposed to prove my innocence that I haven't done anything .I close my eyes, exhaling heavily .Opening it I saw Mrs Rider's eyes were on mine .She smiled sadly and left in the direction of the kitchen leaving me alone in the living room .Oh no ….Please don't tell me she thinks of me the same as Alex .Stricken with panic I followed her ." Mrs Rider !" I called out " Yes dear " she turned around halfway through the kitchen area ." Trust me I haven't do-" '' I trust you Jade " her words stop my sentence
“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” —Angelita Lim Jade p.o.v Flash back.. " Tristen I love you " I smiled and then my smile faded as I groaned in frustration . This is the 50th time I tried telling I love you to the mirror and every time I felt like a fool . How am I supposed to tell him that I love him when I can't say it properly in front of the mirror? I sigh and sat on the bed feeling stupid . I shook my head ," no Jade you can't give up . You need to tell him the truth " I stood up determined and went to open my closet and pick the most beautiful dress I have and wore it . I curl my hair and put light makeup and blush my cheeks slightly . I giggle happily to look at my reflection . " I am excited to see Tristen's reaction " I smiled happily and went to his home happily. I bought roses and walked toward his home . He was pacing in his garden worriedly but as soon as his eyes fell on me , A wide
True love - that is, deep, abiding love that is impervious to emotional whims or fancy - is a choice. It's a constant commitment to a person regardless of the present circumstances.Jade p.o.vTristen words rang inside of my mind ……Flash backJennifer left me four years ago or I dumped her when I got to know that she was cheating on me with one of my best friends. I saw her making out with my friend inside the bathroom ". I gasped at his revelation oh my God”“ But she came back to me again but when I didn’t accept her she married a man who is 30 years older than her only for money, status ". He continued."I- I am sorry Tristen" Tears are burning my eyes and warning me to come down from my eyes. I know he loves her a lot but how can she do this to him? Flash back end I could see her fuming , my eyelid let down a little to see her fist clench so tightly that her knuckles turned white .Alex , her mother, everyone was quite taken aback by my question ."
