JadeI woke up the next morning feeling happy and energetic. I couldn’t believe that I was actually getting used to staying with Xavier. I always thought it was going to be a terrible experience and that I would always resent the thought of being with him but now here I am happy and getting along with him just fine.The only thing was that I missed being able to go wherever I liked, but maybe I could talk to him about it. I loved the freedom that I was used to before, going wherever I wanted to without having to bother about telling anyone but now I could barely leave the house without Xavier by my side, I think that is one of the downsides in staying with him.I also missed my Dad very much and I think it was time I visited him. I missed him so much and not knowing if he was fine and doing alright was killing me. I also missed my best friend Layla, we used to see every day but now I couldn’t even remember the last time I saw her, honestly, all this really made me wish the one year

Jade“Ughhh…..why does my head feel so heavy,” I said, holding my head with one hand and trying to keep my eyes open.My eyes were blurred for a few minutes, so I kept opening and shutting them back. Finally, after some time, I could see more clearly, and I stared at the unfamiliar white ceiling.“Huh…. where the hell was I because this is certainly not my room.” I thought to myself as I struggled to sit up while still holding my head.“Hey, hey, take it easy, " someone said, rushing to my side to help me sit up properly.I took his hands and turned to face him and that was when I found out it was Xavier. Why was he here and where is this place? and why the hell does my head hurt this much?“Where am I? Where’s this place?” I asked Xavier, still trying to take note of my surroundings.“You’re in the hospital.” He said casually while holding my hands.“The hospital??? Why am I at the hospital? What happened? I asked in a panic as I tried to put the puzzle pieces together.What the hell

Jade I sat practically glued to my chair, fuming. We were inside the private jet now, but I was still so mad, and I was almost shaking from anger. I didn’t even know where we were going, but here I was sitting on a plane being jetted off to God knows where.“Fuck I hate my life.” I cussed out visibly irritated.“You do what?” Xavier asked, creasing his eyebrows, but I didn’t respond. Instead, I rolled my eyes and began fumbling with the hem of my dress.I gritted my teeth so hard and I was sure my dress was going to rip anytime soon with the way I was seething with anger. I hated how my life had become. 3 months ago I was still like every normal young 23-year-old woman but now I was some Mafia lord's pet who couldn’t even express her human rights.He controlled everything about me and now he was making me travel to heaven knows where with him against my wishes. He was ruining my plans for me.I was supposed to start gathering valid intel tomorrow for my case against Demeo and I was

VahlaNothing was working.That was the only thought running through my head as I slammed the file shut and leaned back in my chair.For weeks now, there has been nothing. No solid leads, no breakthroughs, no movement.And Jade… she was making it worse. Where the hell did she even get whisked to? I was still trying to make sense of it while being as supportive as I could.I exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down my face.Ever since she started acting strange, everything had been off. She was always the sharp one, the one who connected dots before anyone else even saw them. But now?She was distracted and absent. It’s been almost a month since she last came to work. She just woke up one day, and the next thing she was… gone.Whatever was keeping her away had better be a very good reason because somehow, her absence was affecting me more than I wanted to admit.I glanced at my phone, half-expecting it to light up with a message from her, but nothing came in.A week.That was what I gave h

JadeI could tell you for free that freedom tastes different and up until now, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I had it again.“Wohooooo…” I screamed in excitement, just at the sheer thrill of getting away. I mean even with my bodyguard Miquel watching over me like a hawk, I was still able to get away which was honestly very surprising.Such a bad bodyguard, could he even protect me if it comes to that? Because how the hell did I just fool him without him suspecting anything? Just one fake phone call, a wrong turn, a bit of “oh no, I think I forgot something,” and just like that… I had slipped out of the house alone.It was funny and also refreshing though. Maybe it was a good thing he still had his guard down. I stepped into the street properly for the first time since we arrived, and something in my chest loosened. Naples wasn’t just beautiful from afar, this city was alive!!!Loud voices filled the air, people arguing, laughing, calling out to each other in rapid Ita
