Bait Jade West Novels & Stories

“Wait, what's going on here? Can someone please explain to me what this is all about?” Kira snapped her head towards him, and her cheeks flushed with a smile– a deep, proud smile. “Brenda has finally gotten hold of those baits that traitor had planned to use against her. She has them now, so that means… he no longer has a hold on her.” “Baits? Traitor?

Then added: “Who are you, anyway?” It was hard to concentrate with his eyes on her. He looks so much like Caleb, so intense. Caitlin could recognize that this was a very powerful boy. “I feel like I know you from somewhere,” he added. “I’m Caitlin,” she said, extending her hand. Jade reached up and shook it, trying his hardest to look like an adult. Caitlin smiled, and had to keep from laughing. “I’m Jade,” he said. “What are you doing out here by yourself, Jade?”

None of the other elders had even been able to get ahead of Griffin in the years they had ruled Mewatown together. A while later, Westley finally said, "Since you insist on doing so, I'll believe you this one time." He took off the necklace he was wearing, of which the pendant was another jade fragment, and placed it on the table. Jasper and Salem looked at each other, brows tightly furrowed. At last, they each took out a jade fragment of their own and set it down on the table as well. All four jade fragments formed a complete jade phoenix. Westley piped up then, "That man wandered to these parts with his parents a hundred years ago, and our ancestors took them in and cared for them. This wa

“Gorgeous.” Reaper’s eyes narrow in warning as he pulls Jade into the security of his arms. “She’s mine. Get your own.” He whispers with a pout. Jade snorts and rolls her eyes. “Okay, then. I know you two probably have some work to take care of. You have ten minutes.” She says with a scolding glare. Which is funny coming from someone so small and fragile. Jade is a very talented ballet dancer. We met last year during one of her performances. She and Reaper were going through some relationship issues, and Kazik was looking for a way to make Reaper hurt. That’s how Reaper and I were able to resolve our differences and became friends.

He knew that perhaps Marcus' men might be around. Jade wanted to show him that he isn't concerned about his former family anymore, so he can't use that to threaten him again. “Wow, see who is making a marvelous entrance here. Jade Westwood, the runaway criminal. It doesn't surprise me that he's defending the son and brother of a criminal because he himself is also a criminal. SECURITY!!!” Jake said sarcastically but angrily called the securities at the end. Jade chuckled at Jake, shocking everyone as to why he was laughing.

God created some people to bring karma quicker to whoever is deserving of it. The newscaster, Janet Kane knows exactly how to pull people in. That’s why I chose her. “…this case was hidden for years, but now the truth is out. Stay tuned for more on this news, same time…” I switch off the radio as I pull into my penthouse driveway. The gate opens after scanning my key card. I drive into the underground garage and take the private elevator up. If Dahlia and her daughter are moving in… Then I’ll stay here. The Lakeside Penthouse is my favorite place because it is safe, quiet and untouchable.

"Nope, I've been swamped lately!" "What could you possibly be swamped with? Winter told me you've left Frotconn, and you're not working now. What's keeping you so busy?" Jade's voice dripped with disbelief. "Listen up. Bob is my bestie's son, and he's a catch. He’s got a great personality, a good family, and top smarts. Don't blow this chance. If Winter wasn't already hitched, do you think I'd be setting you up with him?"

She thought of the man at the diner, his gray eyes, how he’d slipped the drive into her hand. “Will I ever see them again?” “You will, especially Dunk. Since no one knows who he is, he’ll find us when the time is right. For now, I’ll keep tracking them,” Jade confirmed, giving Imani’s shoulder an encouraging shake. “Thank you, Jade. I know I would have been lost without you.” “Of course you would,” Jade replied playfully. “That’s what big sisters are for.” Jade scrolled further. A folder marked 'J.B.'waited, but most of its contents were corrupted.

“With all your systems. All your people.” A thin smile curved her lips. “Guess they failed you.” “Jade,” he said, voice dangerously level, “what are you talking about?” “No more half-truths,” she replied, almost bright. Almost cruel. “Feels pointless now, doesn’t it? Since we’re done pretending.” She laughed.
