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.
“Xavier is your father.” Jade finally spat.Mason's attention didn't move from the man seated on the other side of the table.She thought she'd regret it the moment she said it but it only felt like a huge relief.Jade keenly watched her children's expression because she can't afford to have this blow back in her face.She took a leap of faith with this one.Liam smiled. “Daddy?” He quickly climbed down with Jade's help and ran to Xavier on the other side of the table who happily picked him up.“Yes, daddy.” Xavier tightly hugged his son.“Is that mine!?” The presents on the floor immediately caught his attention.“Yes, and your brother.” He looked over to Mason.“I want mine now!” Liam pouted.He actually underestimated the whole thing. He thought he'd just get to know his boys and groom them into men.But looking at them, holding Liam in his arms, an overwhelming feeling choked his throat.He has never felt anything like it before.All he wanted to do was protect them, protect his f
Xavier entered the conference room where Jade was seated at the head chair.“Sit, they're waiting downstairs.” She ordered.“Who is waiting downstairs?” He didn't move.“Everyone.” She swirled the chair a little. “I'm going to introduce you to the whole team. Remember what I said to you? Don't act smart.”“I don't care for that. Why not just take me to my boys?”“I'm pretty sure everyone would like an explanation after I publicly claimed to kill you.” She stood up. “We have to give them a good story and you are gonna agree to everything I say out there.”“If that's what it takes..”“I'm not asking. You don't even have options, Xavier.” She walked to him. “Behave.”She didn't give an opportunity to even breathe the next word as she walked out.He let out a short scoff.Jade is completely something he wasn't expecting, he won't deny.He could clearly see the anger and raw hate she boldly displayed in her eyes whenever she looked at him and make no mistake, she doesn't even try to hide i

Xavier watched her in silence.“Of course.” She gave a short scoff. “Pussy.”He wasn't surprised at this revelation because he already suspected her to know, following her little association with Zane.Zane probably told her everything so why does she want to hear it from him? It was a story he wasn't really proud of so until she force it out of him, it'll stay dead, just like the old him. Jade took the cuffs off to his surprise. “We will go with your plan.” She started. “Don't try anything funny, I've killed you before, don't think I'll hesitate to do it again.”“No doubt.”“And don't you dare upset my sons..”“They're my sons too!” He interrupted her. “Stop making it look like I don't have a right to them as well.”Jade roughly grabbed his chin. “Don't fucking interrupt me like that again.” She hit him with a death stare.“Then stop saying things that trigger me.” He stared back. Maybe this was a very big mistake, she slowly realized.“I've changed my mind.” She picked up the cuf
Jade poured herself another shot of whiskey as she tried to forget the horrible confrontation she had with Khalil days ago.Her head spun just by the mere thought of it, like it was yesterday.“They are my sons!” He angrily roared when she denied his claims. “Khalil, you need to chill. What on earth made you believe they are yours!? Why would you come to such conclusion?”“Are seriously kidding right now?” He asked with frustration.“Don't you think I would've told you if I was carrying your child?” She asked again.“I don't know, I thought you needed time, and space. I didn't want to push and I was waiting for you to come to me. Plus, Maria is in the picture so I also thought you are trying to protect her as always but I can't do it anymore. I am tired of pretending, I want my sons.” He answered.Jade looked at him with a perplexed scoff. “You got to be kidding me.”“I am really not in the mood for games, Jade. Please don't let this escalate.”“Are you threatening me?!” She angrily
“Mum!” A tall boy ran to her. He had silk black midnight hair, thick lashes hovering over his icy blue eyes.“Mummy!” A younger boy ran behind him.He looked exactly like the first boy, only younger with softer features.That resemblance always hit her hard in the gut whenever she looked at her boys.Jade quickly took a knee to hug her precious little dumplings.“Did you get it?” The first boy asked.“Hello to you too, Mason.” She smiled with the roll of her eyes.“Well did you?” Mason insisted.“Mummy, I got five stars today.” The younger boy happily said to her.“Oh baby, aren't you so smart!” She proudly hugged him again.“Okay, Liam got stars and I didn't.” Mason rolled his eyes.“Behave, young man.” She gave him a warning.“Just tell me if you got it.”“I can only permit the Stone who got stars today to play with the new PlayStation.”Liam squeaked in excitement. “Thank… you mummy.”“That is not fair!” Mason stomped his foot.“Maybe you'll do better tomorrow. But you don't get t
