"Mum, dad... Who is this weird looking guy and why am I here? Uhh..... My head really hurts." Sapphire muttered, rubbing her forehead simultaneously.Jade was dumbfounded."I got shot trying to save you... Why can't you remember?! Is it because I came too late? Are you angry at me? Talk to me, Fire!"  He turned to the doctor after wiping away his tears and sniffed quietly into his sleeves."Stop calling me that name okay?! I said I don't know you. Are you deaf? Ugh!" She muttered in pain.Sapphire couldn't understand why a random, pathetic looking guy would lie to her and shout at her despite her condition.With this, Sapphire gently turned to the direction of Fiona."Mum, what's happening here? Who's this?""Umm.. don't worry my dear. You're recovering, just relax." Fiona muttered, facing Jade with an annoying look."You heard her, right? So can you leave for now

Lucas and Jade walked to the beautiful garden, somewhere around his ward. There were other patients with similar cases to Jade's, but everyone concentrated on themselves. Jade sat on a wooden bench. Somewhere alone the walking path. The fresh air sent beautiful fragrance, but that didn't lift the weight off Jade's shoulders. His eyebrows joined together in fury as he sat down. Lucas watched his expression careful. It's clear that he could read his CEO friend, like a book. Lucas sat down, right next to his friend as the watched other patients and visitors move around on concentration.Lucas heaved out to kill the bored silence that reigned with the seconds. "I know you're going through a lot and there's a lot going through your mind right now. There's going to be a new change in.... Everything. Especially in the company, within your family and also... With your relationship with Sapphire but, whatever happens. I want you to remain strong, as you've always been. Take resp

Coloured squares of light, checkered the carpet of the aisle. There were tons of guests in black. About thirty or forty. The arriving guests took their rows. It was a tall glorious church with beautiful construction and giant status. There were white daffodils and red roses placed on his coffin placed on a huge, marble table."...not merely because of the desirability of life but because of same exercise at once to live and die well. Much more is he who says that it were good not to be born, but once one is born to pass with all speed through the gates of heaven...." The priest in flowing, white and gold robe muttered.Kate was crying, wiping tears away with a tissue. Jade looked sick but didn't weep. Denver and Stephen Alejandro's daughters came from Paris for their fathers burial.The choir ladies started singing. Ruby and Jade helped kate to her feet, with denver on the other side. Jade didn't give Denver a look, he jus

"Then feed me. I've missed having you around. I haven't even been to your place.""Don't worry, Ruby. I'll take you out one of these days." He deepened his fork into chicken and placed it at Ruby's mouth. Instead if eating it, she refused."Are you angry at me now?""Promise you won't tell mum about me." Her doe-like eyes begged.Jade chuckled at her cuteness. "It's two years since they last had a meal together. I won't tell your mum." He promised.Ruby smiled at this and finally took a bite."Now that you're smiling. I think we're on the same page." Jade suggested while she blushed."Ruby... You have your ways at doing things. So, what's it about you auditioning and going into music. Is that what you really want?"Watching them from behind, tears clouded in sapphires eyes. She couldn't hear what they were discussing about, clearly but it'

At the bar with Lucas.11:46 p.mJade and Lucas were seated in their usual spot. The bar man offered him a cup of champagne. He gulped it down his throat at once.Hey, don't even think about getting drunk, okay?" Lucas warned."I'm not." He poured another drink into a wine cup. "I'm not drunk but I'd like to get drunk."Lucas watched how he gulped it down his throat again. He looked so sad and messy."Don't overthink, Jade. Time heals all wounds." Lucas advised. "I'm sure you'll forget about everything with time. He pay him at the back.""About what you just said..." Jade poured another drink. "Don't believe that drivel. It's a lie" He started at the glassy cup and poured the third cup down his throat. He closed his eyes to the thought of it and gulped it down in pain.Jade drove home, collapsing on the sofa chair in
