Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron
Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform
Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di
Tires screeching!A car pulled up in the school's parking lot, and its quirky old sound made the students stared at the car with disgust. "Who's that?" "It must be one of the freshmen. What a car!""That shouldn't be called a car. It's from the nineties, and it should remain there." They erupt into laughter. Their gazes pierced through the windscreen, and they maliciously stared at Kraig, who was embarrassingly sitting in the driver's seat.Kraig's heart started to tremble. He could feel his heartbeat suddenly increase, and it wasn't just because of the other students but his beautiful fiancee, who was angrily seated on the passenger side.Jade's eyes were reddened, and her head lowered as she squeezed her hands on her long coat. Kraig couldn't bring himself to say a word."Turn it off." Jade abruptly lifted her head, and her gaze tensed up for a moment there The veins on her temples were throbbing as she tried to control the rage flowing through her veins.Jade's eyes trailed Kr
The weather in winter was cold and the atmosphere was always dark, but that didn't stop Kraig for trying to find the perfect hairstyle for the birthday party, afterall, he needed to look good.He stared at his reflection diligently, and carefully, he parted his hair into different angles. Somehow, he felt he wasn't styling it perfectly, and Henry, his roommate, who's a perfect hairstylist by talent, have refused to help him."After what happened in school earlier, you still want to attend this party of hers?" "We made up. It's normal for couples to fight. And perhaps, she's still grieving remember." Kraig response was supposed to make Henry give up on his attempt to persuade him from not going, but somehow, it felt like an excuse he gave himself. He shook his head disregarding the negative thoughts and then smiled at his reflection. "You seem to have forgotten that nothing good happens when you visit that house." Henry warned him, but it made no difference to Kraig."Today is Jad
The hall fell silent, and all eyes were on Juan, who was kneeling before Jade. Kraig's unease grew; he felt suffocated and unable to breathe."Jade, on this special day, I present to you these gifts from the depths of my heart." Juan smiled as he took Jade's hand and kissed it.Kraig felt anxious. He was just about to speak up, but when he saw the color of red creep Jade's cheeks, the muscles of his bottleneck stiffened. She was grinning in excitement as her gaze was fixed on Juan.They were staring at each other affectionately. Juan held on to Jade's hand and walked to her other side, his hands slowly wrapped around her waistline, and his free hand snapped in the air at his servants, ordering them to present their gifts.The servants opened the gift on the table as others were cleared out.In each box were different presents, one of each was a 'Gulf Pearl Parure Bracelet' worth over 13 million dollars.Amongst other gifts was a Bulgari snake diamond necklace worth millions.After Ju
Kraig slowly regained consciousness, his eyes fluttering open to an unfamiliar and exquisitely decorated room.For a moment, he thought he was still trapped in a dream. But as he tried to move, a sharp pang of pain in his arm reminded him that this was, in fact, reality.Kraig was confused as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings. The room was vast, adorned with luxurious furnishings and intricate artwork. It exuded luxury and elegance.'Am I dead?' A sudden fear shuddered him as his eyes welled up.He tried to remember what had happened yesterday. He recalled being thrown out of the bar, and that was it, nothing else."Was I hit by a truck? Was I shot?" The words left his mouth, making him feel even more miserable."Why did I end up like this? I didn't even graduate from college..." He cried out, but then-"Mrs. Rosa..." He heard a voice, and suddenly he froze for a moment.Quietly, he rose from the bed, his limbs feeling heavy and unsteady. As he stepped out into the hallwa
As he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the same room as before, only this time, it wasn't strange.He sat on the bed, and as his eyes trailed the room, a heavy sigh left his lips as he thought-'All these are mine!' The DeVille Empire was not just any ordinary business conglomerate; it was a global powerhouse that spanned multiple industries. From real estate to technology, banking and pensions, their influence reached far and wide; their wealth was beyond imagination.Kraig's mind raced with a flurry of emotions. Disbelief, confusion, and curiosity all vied for his attention. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he was part of a wealthy family.There was a sudden feeling of anxiousness that crept underneath his skin. He didn't know if he could handle it all.Suddenly, the doors opened, and his thoughts were quickly buried when he saw his grandfather walking inside. "You must have been really shocked. I'm sorry for that." Kraig tittered, "What's there to be sorr
