"No! I'm not going to marry her, " Tyler uttered his refusal in a contained tone, suppressing his annoyance to seep through his voice. His jaw was set, lips were pursed and his hazel eyes were steely yet he looked incredibly gorgeous. He's absolutely a gorgeous man, a head turner everywhere he goes. "Yes, you will," his cousin grinning as he replied to him, walking around him while standing straight. "You're kidding me," despite the urge to yell, he controlled himself. Deep within, he wanted to wipe that sickening grin out of his cousin's face but he couldn't. How could he do that to his superior? To General Max Hudson, the revered military general. "I'm serious!" The grin on Max's face was no more, he stopped from annoying him. "By marrying her, we are killing two birds with one stone," he patted Tyler's shoulder. "We can find other ways to accomplish our mission," Tyler straightened up his military uniform. "Think about this as your service to the nation," Max knew
Time passed by in a blink of an eye, then the day of his wedding came. Tyler entered the car once it was opened by his chauffeur. "Let's go," Tyler said in his commanding tone. The chauffeur wasted no time and drove off to the military base as he didn't want his boss to be late for his wedding. When Tyler arrived, the wedding ceremony began right away as if they were in a hurry. The corner of Tyler's mouth twitched slightly, he knew his cousin was in a hurry thinking that he would change his mind at the very last minute. Once he stood at the very end of the aisle. A musician played the wedding march. The door opened once the music began, revealing the bride and General Max standing beside her. Everyone present in the wedding were wondering why the veil was so thick that it was impossible to see the face of the bride. Someone who was standing near Tyler could not hold back, commented. "I heard a rumor that she's an ugly duckling. Perhaps, that is the reason behind her t
And three months later, after they first met, they met again in Seoul, Korea. That day, roaming around Seoul, Jade felt tired and came back to her hotel suite. It’s her last night in Korea and she will be flying back to Austria as her holiday is over and she will be back to her grueling work as a surgeon. Jade just came out of the bathroom after freshening up when she came face to face with the man she saw in the private room at a bar three months ago. Tyler grabbed her neck and growled, "Why are you here, slut?" "This is my room," Jade said with much difficulty, prying open his hand that was clutching her neck. Tears gathered around her eyes as she was struggling to get some air. This woman followed him to Korea. Is she the one who drugged his drink just now? What is she doing in my suite? Tyler had a series of questions in his mind while she strangled her. "Ugh!!!" Tyler groaned in pain and released Jade. She managed to kick him on the groin. He lay on the floor writhin
"Tell me, you followed me after that incident in the hotel," his hazel eyes dark, his voice carrying a dangerous tone. There were a lot of women who had tried to climb in his bed using different kinds of schemes. It was Jade who had finally succeeded in binding him to this loveless marriage. Jade stepped back and tripped on her gown. She fell and her bottom kissed the floor with a loud thud. She whimpered due to fright and the pain on her bottom. Shaking her head negatively, she denied his accusation. "I didn't stalk you, believe me." She sobbed and hiccuped at the same time. She closed her eyes and fought the image of her parents being killed. "Ahhh!" She held her ears and shook her head continuously to shut off the sound of gunshots and the images of his parents being murdered. Tyler frowned and was baffled at her reaction. He wondered if she was just putting on an act for him not to be suspicious of her. "No!!!" She begged and hugged her knees. She was like a scared an
Jade went downstairs after getting dressed. She stood rooted on her spot when her gaze landed on Tyler's bone chilling gaze. Tyler inched forward, eating up the distance between them in a mere seconds with his large strides. "Where do you think you're going?" Tyler murmured when he was close to her, then snaked his arm on her waist and pulled her closer to him. Consumed by the success of the mission, Tyler had been vigilant at all time. "Don't forget our mission," he whispered in her ear. Jade's thick long lashes fluttered. Heat crept up her face, turning it to crimson red. She rested her palm against his chest to push him away. "Thank you for reminding me, I'll always remember it," she smiled sweetly at him. She will never let herself forget her revenge. She has to exact retribution for the death of her parents. Sensing someone was staring at them. Tyler leaned forward and gave her a peck on the cheek. Due to shock, her eyes went wide as a saucer. "Someone is looking at us,"
Jade's face contorted as she tried hard to contain the rage in her heart. The main reason she decided to go to her apartment was to have some peace. But this man wouldn't let her have a respite."I'll come back before dusk," she said, hoping that he would let her go by herself. "I will go with you, whether you like it or not," he spat his words authoritatively like a military general giving orders to his subordinates. She can't show her anger so she resorted to mocking him. "Sir, yes, sir, " Jade said as if she saluted her commander. Instead of getting exasperated at her mocking, Tyler's lips twitched. Tyler held her hand the whole time they made their way to where his car was parked. Jade couldn't do anything but to swallow her anger. She can't even scowl at Tyler as there were servants looking at them. "Where to madam?" Tyler said, while Jade buckled up. She raised her eyebrow, trying to decipher if he was teasing her. However, she's got no clue as his expression was col
"Head back to the mansion to have lunch," she told him without looking at him and went out of the room. Tyler's face darkened. No one has ordered him what to do besides his superiors in the military. Jade was the first one who dared to it He exasperatedly followed Jade outside. He saw her going to the open plan kitchen and walked over to her. After taking out some ingredients from the fridge, Jade turned to the island and was surprised to see Tyler seated on the chair. "Why are you still here?" She asked, carefully suppressing the irritation she felt to seep through her voice. However, Tyler could hear her tone tinged with annoyance but he couldn't be bothered. He decided to annoy her to death. "I'm too lazy to drive," Tyler said leisurely watching her reaction. Blood rushed through her head, making her seeth in anger. She felt like throwing the ingredients to his face but held back her anger. She put down the ingredients on top of the island and turned around. This is absolu
Witnessing how her parents were killed, she grew up fearful and easily intimidated. Jade hugged her knees, regretting that she angered him. Her eyes burned with unshed tears turning her rims red. "I'm giving you an hour to do what you have to do," he ordered. Jade darted to her room not wasting a second. Her hands were shaking as she typed on her laptop. The woman's trembling figure somewhat pricked Tyler's conscience that he relented on lashing her verbally. Thirty minutes after Jade left him alone in the living room, Tyler's phone rang. He accepted the call, stood up and went to the floor to ceiling window overlooking the beautiful mountain scenery. "Hi," Tyler whispered. "Tyler, I heard you got married," Sophia cried at the end of the line. A crease formed between his brows as he knitted his eyebrows. "It's just on paper. I did it to have my inheritance." "Tyler, you said we are getting married after my contract here," Tyler could hear her voice like she was hyperven
