If only angels were real.
No, not an angel, he is a god!
His face looked fragile yet deadly. He looked like a masterpiece crafted by the softest hands and finest stone.
Jade couldn't take her eyes off him. The way he looked at her sent fireworks through her veins. She disconnected the eye lock and her eyes moved down to his succulent lips.
"You wanted to escape?" He asked.
All she saw was his lips moving. He was saying something but she heard nothing.
She felt the heat radiating from his body and the tightness of his muscles around her.
Was she still in his arms?
Well, it felt right.
What is more than being saved by the most beautiful creature on earth?
"Were you trying to escape?" He hoarsely asked again and this time, she heard him.
He said it with such a voice that sent chills down her spine. It matched his appearance and sounded like a melody.
Sexy, yet sinister.
"Um...No! I was just enjoying the view but I lost my footing" She stared up at him.
He gave her a faint smile that wasn't amusing nor exciting.
"Better. Because I would be forced to tie you up in my house if you try to escape" he said with an intensity that made her gut twirl.
"What!?" She frowned but in a minute, her eyebrows flew to her forehead.
No this can't be! Just when she wants to take a liking to him. Why can't anything good happen to her today?
Within hours, her life has completely turned for the worst.
Jade scuffled down him, straightened her shirt and lifted her chin a little.
She had to look up because he was tall and buffed up.
That was when she noticed the tattoos that carpeted his skin from the neck downwards and disappeared into his black shirt.
And a nose ring?
His whole physique made her blinked twice as she took in his appearance.
He wore a suit trouser and black long sleeves that hugged his triceps, biceps and abs which was complimented by a waistcoat.
How didn't she notice this?
"So it's you!" She spat. "How dare you!? Who exactly do you think you are!? You can't 'buy' a human being"
How can her parents sell her to someone like this?
He is hot and all but something about him seemed off. He wasn't the average man she'd normally go out with but she was helplessly attracted.
"I did!" He scoffed. His beard wasn't thick. It was just light and scanty. Just how she likes it.
Such an arrogant and annoying piece of shit! And how dare he talk to her like that? Who is this man? What does he want from her?
Why would he buy her to save her parents?
And why her?
"Who does that!? News flash, I'm going nowhere with you!" She pointed at him.
His icy eyes briefly looked at her finger and back at her.
As much as she wanted to be close to him because of the stupid attraction she felt towards him, she hated him for buying her with the same intensity.
If they'd met in different circumstances, she would be more than happy to fuck him because hell, he is hot.
He gave her a small smile which was accompanied by a deep laugh. It sounded sexy as hell but she felt frightened for no particular reason.
Oh those dimples and perfectly arranged set of teeth. And the way his nose slightly bent when he laughed was the cutest thing ever!
How does this man heats her up but sends chills down her veins at the same time?
She doesn't even know him.
But what is funny?
Her life has been ruined. She felt used and he was laughing?
"Laugh all you want but one thing I know is that I won't go anywhere! I'll stay at house and my parents will refund your money. Nothing and absolutely nothing will make me leave my house today!" She angrily said.
His smile slowly disappeared and he maintained a deadly stare.
"I'm going nowhere!" She repeated and folded her hands on her chest. "I'm not going anywhere with you" She repeated. "You can take back your money and we will figure out a way to fix all of these. And like I said, I'm going nowhere with you and if you think that I'm gonna back down, think again"
She was determined to get him off her back. No way will she live with a stranger and the sooner he gets that, the better because he has no idea how stubborn and irritating she can get.
He moved a little closer to her and lightly held her chin.
"Seeing you angry makes me want to tie you up right now in my house" He said with a deep seductive voice. He slowly bent towards her and placed his mouth close to her ears.
Jade felt his hot breath down her neck and the hair on her neck stood.
"And you know, I had a hard on all week. I wish we weren't out here in public because if you keep looking at me like that, your clothes will look nice on my bedroom floor"
Jade froze.
Just minutes of meeting him and he is already talking about getting laid?
It felt strange that he turned her on faster than anyone had ever done.
What is this strange attraction she feels towards him and why can't she control the need to get laid by him?
Are you a slut now, Jade?
She wanted to escape him immediately. The light brush of his rough chin and his hands passionately on her arms sent thrilling sensations down to her core.
She hates him but wants him as well.
Jade wondered what it will feel like to scream beneath him but the thought that he bought her and she literally belongs to him sparked a new feeling in her.
She needs to escape this man.
Jade looked up from the file loudly dropped in front of her on the huge wooden table to the man standing in front of her.“Go on, open it.” His voice finally said.He looked calm and collected, but his stance said the complete opposite.“What is this?” She asked as she picked it up. “You did a check on Fletcher!? The fuck is wrong with you Xavier!?”“You forgot to do it so I did it for you.” He adjusted a bit.“I didn't ‘forget’. I told you to stay away from him!” She angrily hit her first on the table.“You need to focus.”“On what exactly? I handle my empire peacefully. I do everything to keep us safe.” She sighed. “Xavier, stop crossing me.”“Read the file.”“No.”“Please, just read the goddamn file!”Jade rolled her eyes and picked it up again.“He is clean.” She looked up from the file.“And?”“What do you mean ‘and’?”“A man can only be this clean.” His eyes never left hers.Jade slowly dropped the file. “I won't let you do this.”“C'mon Jade! It's right there.”“Get out.” She s
Jade walked into the house and looked around.Everyone must be in bed already, and by everyone, her boys and their father.She walked to the stairs, trying not to lose balance because she was tipsy.Perhaps drunk?Her hair as in a little mess even though she tried to fix it with her fingers which didn't work too well.Jade took off her heels and held it in her hands, mounting the stairs.She was humming a sound as she continued to climb, making her way to her floor.“Seems like you had fun.” Xavier's voice abruptly stopped her, making her lose balance but he quickly caught her before she fell.“Oh hey, it's you.” She poked his nose.“Too much fun.” He helped her to her feet. “Can you walk?”“Of course I can.” She smiled. “This is the best day of my life.”He closely followed her behind. “I highly doubt that.”“I promise!”“Okay, how about our sons?” “My boys!” She gasped. “I forgot to tell them bedtime stories.” She turned to him. “I have to see them.” She made a sad face.“They are

Jade looked at herself in the huge mirror.Why is she doing this again?She has never done this.Why is she allowing a stranger into her home?At first, it was because she was lonely.But she can have any man she wanted.And then, it was because he was a sweet man and he makes her smile, in a good way.But then, she saw the look in Xavier's eyes when he saw them together.And now, it is because of him.She has this dangerous urge to piss him off.What can he do?Well, a lot.But he won't because he doesn't have that privilege anymore.So he won't dare do anything stupid, right?The red dress she wore perfectly caressed her curves and highlighted her breasts.“Ma'am, Xavier is here.” Her guard announced.What? What is he doing here?She unlocked the door and he walked in.“Your little boyfriend is here. With his daughter.” His eyes made a whole body scan.“Great.” She said. “I don't need you to personally tell me that, I have people for that.”“Is that for the playdate? Don't you think
“C'mon Jade, just let me do this.” Xavier pleaded some more. The boys are in school and he wants to pick them up for the very first time but she's not having any of it. Jade popped a new bottle of wine and poured it into a big wine glass. Xavier was seated on the other side of the bar. The whole house felt different to him, like he was some sort of stranger. Like he has never stepped foot in the house before. “No.” She swirled her wine and gently sipped it, appreciating the taste with a nod. “So what's your plan? To keep me locked up in here forever? At a point, I'd have to get out of here. Imagine how happy the boys will be, seeing me there. Isn't that why I'm here after all?” Jade sipped the wine again, looking at him over the rim of the glass. That was when she noticed the gold band coldly wrapped around his finger. Why is he wearing his wedding ring!? What the fuck is he trying to do? Whatever is going on in that head of his, it will not work. “I'll go with
