"Jade," Bruce called out. "I can prove to you that he is lying. I proved it to the police."Bruce brought out his phone and held it out to Jade. "Here. A recording. I tried to force him into saying the truth. He said he wouldn't and I recorded him saying so." Bruce grinned. "That was smart of me, wasn't it."Jade slapped the phone off his hand to the ground. "What do you take me for? A fool?""Jade suspects that you planned everything. Everything in the recording was staged.""You believe the same, don't you?" Bruce frowned. It was heartbreaking for him to see that the very same people who he thought would always trust him now distrusted him.""Bruce," Bryan began. "Have you forgotten the last time you got imprisoned? I stood by you when every other person didn't.""What changed?" Bruce asked."These days, you've been acting very suspicious. I don't blame Jade for distrusting you and to be sincere, I don't—""Don't say it," Bruce chipped in."Green snake," Lucia said in disdain to Bry

Lucia looked to her side in gratitude to Bruce. She gave him a small smile. It was awkward for Bruce but he smiled back at Lucia.She looked back at the entrance of the house. Lucia frowned and paused walking. J. J. Fulton, her supposed husband, was at the entrance. She rolled her eyes and continued walking."You're lucky you proved yourself innocent. You almost ruined my reputation," J. J. Fulton said immediately after she got to him.Without saying a word to him, she walked into the house."You could have at least visited her," Bruce said softly as he got to J. J. Fulton's side."You're not the one to tell me how to take care of my wife," J. J. Fulton snarled and Bruce shook his head in disapproval."The manner he is defending her is suspicious."Bruce heard Jade say to Bryan. He listened to his reply. Bruce looked back at them and Jade looked away. Bruce's heart fell. He turned to his front immediately and continued walking."Perhaps, Bruce just wanted to help. Your mother and Br

"How is this even possible?" Bruce got mixed up. He took another look at his chat with a certain somebody whose number was saved as Mistress in his phone.He wondered when he replied her messages and how the number got into his phone in the first place. "Jade, there must be a misunderstanding some—"Before Bruce could continue talking, Jade pushed him away and ran from the scene. She had almost burst into tears before them."Jade," Bruce called out, ready to go after her."I don't think she would listen to you if you ran after her," Bryan pointed out.Bruce turned to him, glaring. "You were the person who took my phone to her.""I only wanted to prove to her that you're innocent of the allegation she placed on you," Bryan said, then paused. He looked away. "I had no idea you were having extra marital affairs."Bruce raised his hands, ready to strike Bryan's cheek but he folded his hands, restraining himself. He placed his arm by his side and took in a deep breath."I feel you're doing

"Seems like beside the swimming pool is Astor Ace's son's wife's place of grief," Bryan muttered to himself, grinning as he watched Jade weep beside the pool.Bryan's grin disappeared and he put on a pitiful face."Jade, are you still down?" Bryan as I"Of course, I am. My husband is cheating on me." Jade's face fell. She looked up at Bryan's face. "Do you think it's my fault? I tricked him into marrying me yet I don't fulfill my duties. Do you think that's the reason Bruce decided to go for someone else? His human and—""I don't think I would cheat on my wife," Bryan chipped in and Jade raised an eyebrow."Well the former Bryan will, but when I saw the kind of person you are, I came to the situation that they are women out there that should be treated with love and affection."Bryan took a seat next to Jade. "If Bruce is cheating on you, he is the one at fault, not you. The current Bryan has concluded that no matter the situation, no woman should be cheated on."Jade sighed. "Somethin

Bruce groaned."I thought I could drink away my sorrows," he said, angry at the fact that couldn't get Jade off his mind."When did you become rich overnight?" Bruce jerked on hearing Bryan's voice. He furrowed his eyebrows on confirming that it was Bryan talking. The club he was in was far from home. No one he knew was expected to be here."Are you stalking me? You're trying to find something to use against me in front of Jade, right?"Bruce was a bit little. He was very much aware of himself though. Bryan laughed. "I've heard of this place. I decided to check it out.""You know this excuse of yours would have been believable if you were still rich." Bruce chuckled. "You're no longer rich. You can't afford the cheapest wine here. You should have said something else."Bryan clenched his fist."Are you angry? If you are, then I'm sorry." Bruce added in a soft voice; "a waiter looked down on me today and I taught him a big lesson. I hope I didn't do the same to you. I just wanted to s

Bruce watched on as Jade laughed heartily with a man that was not him. She was on a date with a man that was not her husband."It's probably a misunderstanding," Bruce said, forcing a smile. "I'll just walk over to her and ask—"Bryan tightened his grip on him. "Don't make that mistake. You'd only get looked down upon.""Jade would never do that to me. I'm her husband and he is probably a business partner and—""Take a good look at them. Is that how business partners act around each other?"Bruce looked back at the both of them. They were still laughing. The man Jade was with was showing her something on his phone which made the both of them laugh hard. "The atmosphere around them is far too informal," Bryan pointed out and Bruce continued with forcing a smile."They must be really good friends." Bruce tried to pull himself from Bryan's grip. "I would just go over there and say hi. I'm sure Jade would introduce me as her husband.""Even if she wasn't the one who implanted that conver

"I didn't do it." Bruce muttered after a while of keeping silent. "What did you say?" Jade could barely hear what Bruce had muttered. "I didn't." Bruce was much louder. "I did not cheat on you." Jade was silent. What to say or think was far from her. "I don't care. Whether or not you cheated. It does not matter to me anylonger. I want us to forget about what happened. I'd forget you cheated and whether or not you did, you should forget my reaction." "I can't forget. You—" "If you don't forget, this relationship—" "Don't your y want that? You got married to me because you wanted to avoid your marriage with Bryan. You don't need to anylonger. Have I not served my purpose in your life? Don't you want to dispose me since I have no use to you anylonger," Bruce said flatly. Jade frowned. "Is that what you think of me? A spoilt brat who uses and dumps people." "Yesterday, you—" "I just want us to forget what happened. Forget that I did not trust you and I'd act like you did not cheat." ‘

"You've reconciled?" Bruce looked up from his phone. Bryan was leaning on the door which surprised Bruce. He had not heard when Bryan had walked in."You and Jade have reconciled, isn't it?"Bruce took a while to answer Bryan's question. He wondered why deep down he felt like they haven't really reconciled. Bruce feigned a smile. "Yes, we have.""You should still be careful be—""We have decided to put behind the past. From now on, Jade and I would continue to be like we used. I feel we would get better." It was more like a hope to Bruce.Bryan faked a laugh. "I just don't want your relationship with—""From now on, can we not talk about my relationship with Jade? It's something between Jade and I. I don't think the opinion of someone outside our relationship is needed." Bruce didn't know why, but he felt good saying that out to Bryan.Bryan feigned another smile. "I thought we were friends.""Yes, we are," Bruce pointed out. "You're friends with me not with my relationship with Jade.

"My Dad? How is that possible? How did he know that I was here?" Jade looked at Bruce, wondering if he had a hand in what was going on. "Did you know he was coming?" She asked Bruce and he shook his head. "Bring him in," Bruce ordered. "Yes, sir." The butler left and he had no time, she returned with J. J. Fulton. Jade gasped when she saw her father. His clothes were faded. His hair and beard were unkempt. He had lost a great deal of weight too. She wondered what was wrong. He had enough money to take care of himself even without working. He could only lack money if he lost everything in a gamble and she knew that her father would never do such. Jade actually expected more from her father. Sure expected him to multiply the money he had. Or, was he this way because he missed her? Jade wondered. "I'm sorry for how I treated you, Jade." He turned to Bruce and placed his palms together. "Please forgive me for having a hand in your parents' death. I don't deserve your forgiveness, bu

"She'll be there all her life?" Jade's mouth hung open as Bruce and Archibald broke the news to her. She was packing to leave for Beijing and hence had little time to be at Claire's trial.It's been weeks since Claire got arrested. She was sentenced to stay imprisoned for life."I think she deserves it," Jade added and Bruce nodded in agreement."She threatened to throw her child off a tall building. Of course, she deserves something worse than a life imprisonment," Bruce said."And her mom?""She's going back to her hometown. I gave her some money to take good care of herself. She has her flaws but Claire's mother does not deserve the pain her daughter caused her.""Jade, tell me you're not still thinking of going back to Beijing," Mr. Archibald chipped in. "I thought both of you got married."Jade and Bruce exchanged looks. Mr. Archibald was right. They were once married and have never had a divorce."You can go back first. I'd prepare the divorce papers," Bruce said and Jade nodded

"Sir Archibald-" Bruce's voice trailed off. He was short of words."What is it now? Don't tell me you're not happy to see me."Bruce looked at Jade and then at Mr. Archibald and smiled. "Of course not. I'm very happy to see you."Bruce got out of the chair, rushed to Mr. Archibald, and gave him a hug. "I was scared that I would never get to see you again.""You were scared and you did not bother to call me.""You told me not to. That you wouldn't answer even if I did. I'm sorry."Mr. Archibald smiled. "You're like a son to me. I will always answer whenever you call."Bruce pulled away from the hug and smiled. "I was so dumb not to have realized that much earlier.""And I should not have tried to force you to marry Tricia." He turned to Jade and smiled. "I should have forced you to find Have instead."Jade smiled nervously. "We don't intend to get back together. I'm leaving immediately my work here is done and that is to make sure Bruce gets his properties from Claire.""And, how does

Jade stopped before a hotel."This is where I stay.""Why stay in a hotel when you have a family house?""It's sold.""No, it isn't. I bought it back.""You did?" Jade's face brightened, then it became dull. "Claire now owns all your properties, so it's hers now.""I bought it in your name," Bruce said dryly and got out of the car.Jade beamed. "Thank you."She was here because she wanted to give him his money, but knowing that Bruce still cared made her happy."Then we should go there, instead of staying in the hotel. I'll quickly go to my room and get a few of my things."Bruce got back into the car and Jade got out.She walked into the hotel. After about ten minutes, she came out with a traveling bag and dropped it in her boot.Jade handed out a debit card to Bruce immediately after she got into the car. "It has your five hundred million."Bruce took it from her and mumbled a thank you."What about Mr. Archibald?" Jade asked, breaking the silence that lingered between them as she d

Bruce's eyes flung open. His breathing was back to normal and his heart stopped beating fast. He felt everywhere was brighter too. He guessed right. The door was opened and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion immediately he saw who opened it. "Jade?" "Bruce." She ran to him to check if he was alright, but when she touched him, Bruce slapped her hands away from his body. "What are you doing here?" "If I had not reached here on time, you would have died." "That's what you want, isn't it?" Bruce scoffed. Jade shook her head. "If I wanted that, I would not have risked my life to save you." "Risk your life? I know you're on Claire's side. Stop the pretense. I know you somehow found out that I had a mp3 player that could land Claire in trouble. You told her about it and like you wanted, she was not absent. As a result, the case was dismissed. " "That's not true," Jade said, defending herself. "I was the one who took the audio recording. I asked the old man to give you

"He is your son too. Are you seriously going to kill your son?" Bruce could not believe his ears.Claire scoffed. "He is your son. Not mine. According to the contract I signed, you did not need a mother for your son. You only wanted an heir. You planned on paying me off so I could leave the child I would give birth to with you.""He is your blood. Don't tell me you're this heartless.""You know what poverty is like. You know what being powerless is like and what being powerful is like. So you should understand when I say that I want power and money. I want to teach those who have ever looked down on me a lesson. I want to be able to get what I want whenever I want. I want people to look at me with respect. I want the kind of money you have without being at your mercy.""Claire, don't I give you what you want whenever you ask?""You can wake up one day and decide you don't want our marriage again. What should I do then? I refuse to be at the mercy of a man. I want to have your money. I

It's been two months since Bruce saw Claire. She was nowhere to be found. He involved the police, and his men and searched for her himself but he still could not find her.Finding Claire was the only exciting thing that had happened in the space of two months. He worked from 7 am till 9 pm, then from work, he would go to the bar.Once in a while, his eyes scan the bar for Jade. The night before his first trial was the last night he saw Jade. He never saw Jade again after that day.Bruce looked around his office. The furniture was sleek and modern. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave the office a good view. He placed his hands on the mahogany desk, his eyes on his phone.His phone rang and he picked up the call immediately."Have you found them?""Ava still lives in this city but Naomi has relocated," the caller said and Bruce Ace nodded."Text me Ava's address."The last time he saw them was the day Claire ditched him on their wedding day. He smirked, remembering how they had looked do

Bruce Ace sat on the wooden bench. His eyes moved around searching for any trace of Claire. The courtroom was filled to its brim. The judge was visibly annoyed at everything that was happening.Murmurs filled the air.It's been an hour since the trial should begin but Claire, the plaintiff, was absent.The judge finally raised his court to talk. "The plaintiff seems to be nowhere to be found. In this light, the case is therefore dismissed."Bruce Ace frowned.He was ready for her.He has something to prove his innocence. Something to show that Claire was the guilty one here.Bruce was fixed to his seat. Refusing to get up. If this was the case, everybody would think that he had paid her off to shut her up.They will think he was the cause of her absence. Not like he cared what they thought of him but he wanted to shut her up the lawfully way.He wanted everyone to get a glimpse of what he had to go through because of women.Bruce finally left his seat and headed for the exit.

"Claire?"Claire raised her head from her food to see who was calling her. Her eyes flew open."Jade."She frowned."Oh my! How have you been?" Jade asked, joining her at the table. "Where have you been?"Claire raised an eyebrow, wondering if Jade had no idea of the ongoing case between her and Bruce. The news was everywhere. How would she not know?"Are you talking to me?"Jade smiled. "I know we don't have a good past. The issue with my brother and Bruce and stuff like that, but now these people are no longer in our lives, so I think we should be nicer to each other now.""Have you not seen Bruce?""I've seen him." Jade's face fell. "I saw him in a bar yesterday. He only talked to me when he did not know who I was. When he did, he yelled at me and left. He was telling me something about his wife trying to kill him to get his property and that she had sued him for beating her up which is not true. Do you know how he has been?""You don't know who I am?" Claire asked, just to confirm
