When she opened the door, she noticed a man sitting on the couch. He looked so familiar. She racked her brain to just figure out once again where they could have met but she failed to remember. He stood up and bowrd politely to greet her. "Good morning, Miss Jade. How are you?" "Good morning. I am fine, thank you. Who are you?" She asked and further explained, "I am so sorry if that was a rude question. I think I have seen you before but I can't remember."The young man chuckled and adjusted his glasses which were perfectly placed at the bridge of his nose before. "Ah, I see. I am Louis, Mr Jace's right hand man in business. And as for where you had seen me, it was during the kidnapping incident that happened weeks ago." Harper crawled away from them. Jade snapped her fingers and then clapped as she successfully recollected her memory. "Ah, yes. That was where we met. Oh, remembering that incident has suddenly made my knees go weak." She said, exaggerating a shaky

"What a wonderful choice of clothing." He commented. Jade snatched it back from him and tried to hide it. "I mean, I really don't mind if that's where the money went into." "Stop talking nonsense. It belongs to my friend." "You used the money to buy things for your friend? Lingerie in that instant?"Jade sighed, "Please, spare me the questioning. It's already embarrassing that you had to find out this way and now, you are putting me in a tight corner."Jace laughed heartily and then stood up. "I am sorry. I just find it amusing." "Well, I don’t. She literally forced me to get them." She defended herself. "Then she is a very good friend." "Yeah, right." Jade carried her things inside her room and showered to relieve her stress before coming out again. She handed the card back to Jace "Thank you so much for your generosity." "Anything for you." Her heart tripped over that but she played it off. "So, how did you meet this friend? I thought you h

It was finally Christmas. Jade had woken up as early as she could. Probably because she sleep so early last night. She checked Harper first before entering the bathroom to shower. Gold's message dropped in around 6:45 am asking her for her location and house number so as to easily find her when she would come. Jade sent her all these details while she prepared for the day. She opened her window and breathed in the fresh air. She knew somehow that today's even was definitely going to be different and feel different. A genuine smile appeared on her face. "Another Christmas without you, dad." She whispered. Seeing some kids run off the side of the road with their father behind them only made her feel more emotional. She wiped a tear drop, sniffed and smiled again. Victor was here after all. This was heaven's apology to her for the years she had suffered. She had so much planned for today so it was time to get to work. But before leaving, she checked her phone one more time. The

"Where are you? We have to leave now." Jace called out. Jade rushed, carrying Harper and picking up a few things on her way. "I am coming, Sir Boss. Please wait." She yelled back. It was finally Decembed 31st and there was only two more hours before the new year yell would start. Jace had planned a hangout with her, Gold, Louis, Victor and even his friend but the latter said that he was going to be busy doing something else so he wouldn't be able to join them. "Don't you think we should invite Mara?" Jade had suggested. "She is only going to bring bad energy. I don't want that. If she isn't willing to settle things with us so we can all be happy, what makes you think she wouldn't try bringing up a fight during the moment?" Jace answered but after a few minutes, he allowed that Mara be called. Her number didn't go through. Seemed like she had not unblocked them yet. Jade entered the car and it was finally time to leave. Jace was the one who chose the location. He ha

"Mara," "You didn't expect that I would be here, did you?" Mara's voice was chilly. Jade had never heard her speak like that before. She sounded so far. So out of touch. Something she wasn't used to. "Mara," that was all she could say. "You..." Mara folded her arms, placing them on her chest and then crossed her legs before leaning against the wall. "You must be so proud of yourself for securing the bag. This must have been what you wanted. The kind of lifestyle you desired but didn't get the chance to have. You secretly envied my life and tried to become like me. How couldn't I have seen that all these while?" Jade was confused. "Mara, I think you're misunderstanding something here. I don't get it. What do you mean by that? I am not trying to look like you? I can't be you. What's making you say all these stuff to me? " "Oh, your innocent facade is long gone. First of all, you caused a rift between my brother and I. Secondly, you are now his personal assist
