JADEPain. That was the only thing that rang in my head the moment we got back home.I do not know how I was even able to fall asleep in the car.Probably the fear and shock on the fact that I could have been raped and killed today was way too much on my body so I found solace in just falling asleep and trying to forget it all. But the moment I woke up, the pain shattered through my skull. From my head to my arms, to my body, my legs, everything screamed of pain.Especially because of the way those men gripped me, punched and slapped me. They themselves confessed that somebody sent them to kill me. Somebody wants me dead and someone also shot my husband too.There has to be a reason for this. It is not just some mere coincidence. Someone out there actaully wants I and Luciano dead.But why? And who?Terrified by the memory and threat to our lives, my eyes suddenly roved around wondering where I was and to make sure that I was in a safe place. I was in Luciano's private bed cham

JADE When we landed in Ecuador, it was already four in the morning. I thought we would never land since it seemed like we had been flying for hours but I am guessing I was just feeling so anxious and probably air sick. Luciano had us driven to one of his luxurious villa with a number of cars driving both ahead of us and behind us for protection.He had also taken the liberty to fly along one of my personal maids, Elizabeth, for her to attend to my every need rather than employing someone else who could also probably be a potential danger to me.I loved the fact that he was taking all necessary measures to protect I and him but it also gave me frightful chills that we had enemies out there, people who wanted to see us dead and wasted.Luciano did notice my apprehensive features and tried his best to alley my fears, promising that everything would be fine and nothing would happen to us.I just had to try and distract myself from my worrisome thoughts by focusing my gaze on the w

JADE The sunset lamp in our room did little justice in shedding its light all over the dim room. But it was a good thing because Luciano would not be able to see my face and see how frustrated I am at this moment.Ever since our first encounter with the Valentinos, I have not been myself. Especially coming to learn that one of those sisters actually loves my husband and wants him for herself. She does not even care about being the second wife. All she is so concerned about is being Luciano's wife.I mean he is fucking married to me! Does she want to ruin our marraige to achieve this her aim?Why does it seem like the entire world is against my marraige?I did not even know want to marry Luciano in the first place but I was forced into marrying him and now it seems like the entire world just hates me for that.I had so many questions to ask Luciano concerning everything I overhead earlier.Valerie said Luciano was meant for her, does that mean they once dated or something? At tha

JADE The door to our bedroom was slowly pushed open, interrupting the silence of the atmosphere.Luciano walked in, his appearance gloomy but reserved. I sat up straight on the bed and pushed the duvet off my legs.I dropped the novel I was reading on the bed and scooted a bit for Luciano to take a seat."Luciano you came back quite early. I thought you would come back late" I smiled at him.His eyes drifted to the digital wall clock on the monochrome black coloured walls. It was one in the afternoon. "I guess I did. I just wanted to come spend time with you" Luciano simply replied, laying back on the bed.I wrapped an arm around his chest and stared at him, his icy blue orbs boring into mine. "At least you are beginning to enjoy me being around you" I teased him."I always enjoyed your company wife. I was just too busy to spend enough time with you back home" Luciano laughed, pulling me closer towards him.Our nose touched and our breathing mixed. "You smell so good Jade. I almost

JADEFIVE DAYS LATER "Must we really go for this event Luciano? Huh?" I mumbled watching Luciano get ready as he put on his Rolex wristwatch.Apparently, the Valentino's had invited us to a party of some sort days ago and Luciano insisted we attend.I do not want to go back into that mansion. Last time I was there, I had a fallout with Valerie and I do not even want to see her face ever again.I do not know how a woman can be so comfortable plotting the downfall of another woman's marriage!Luciano had a smirk on his face as he stood in front of the mirror, observing my annoyed features through the reflection.I dropped the pair of heels I was about putting on, irritated to even wear it."Luciano won't you even say something?" I snapped, standing up at once barefooted and coming to stand behind him.Taking a thin mouth comb, Luciano began combing down his hair slowly. "Jade you have asked me that question a million times and I keep on telling you that we have to attend it. What more
