Uncharted Desires ( Healing Love)

The Turn Out

Jade groaned in pain as she woke up facing a bright light, her head hurts. Looking around, she noticed it wasn't the light that was brught but the room itself. Everywhere was white, the furniture and walks, this illuminated the room with thee combination of the globe too. Jade suddenly sat up "where am I my brother's place wasn't this exotic" she thought as she carefully looked around trying to remember how she got there.

Slowly, she remembered the episode of torture Ryan put her through and she gritted her teeth "that bastard!" She realized she must certainly still be in the mansion, standing up she mived groggily to the door, still clearly affected by the smoke from the cigarette. She had a bad experience once and then it became a traumatic allergy since then. He has certainly done his research on her for him to be able to know this about her.

All because she gave his grandma candy, he was a pretty face but now she knows for certain that he's dangerous and scary. She came outside of the room and found herself in his study once again ah! No wonder, of course he carried her in after torturing her in order not to leave any evidence. It was very dark, I'm contrast to the room she was coming from, she tried to navigate herself to the door in the dark room.

She noticed his figure seating unmoving in his chair and just concluded he was probably asleep. After concluding that nothing good will come out of confronting him again, she tiptoed to the door "we are not done talking Miss Becker" Jade froze at the sound of his voice and quickly took steady breath "I believe your instructions were passed quite clearly Mr Black" she replied without even turning to look at him.

"Smart girl, see you tomorrow" he said dismissing her suddenly after a long pause, and now it was Jade's turn to cringe at the thought of seeing him again. But then, her heartbeat quickened once again and she knew she was hopeless, how could she get excited about the thought of seeing him in broad daylight or was it because he said it? Jade thought about all these till she got home.

Before age got down from the car, she stopped to check herself out and tidied up properly, to prevent her brother from suspecting anything. He was very keen on her and knew her well.....too well that she was afraid he might figure out that something happened and if he does it might lead to another bolt of anger. Just like eight years earlier when they were in high school a d he found out she was dating his friend after that one broke her heart.

He almost got expelled from school from the excessive beating the guy got from him, and since then, he made sure to keep her away from me. Not just his friends but men in general, this went on until she got into university while he was in his finals and of course Jade made sure to pick a different school from the one he attended to prevent history from repeating itself.

And then, she had two heartbreaks in two years. Deciding her brother was right after all "men are f*cking crazy motherf*ckers!" As he would say. So she stayed away from relationships in general, and she had her peace since then. It was very rare but Jade met her brother in the sitting room as if waiting for her. She checked her time and saw it was almost 12 p.m and also checked her phone and saw it has been on silent the whole time, she sighed ready to give an excuse.

Jamie stood up and walked to her with a worried face that became relieved the instant he saw her looking okay "hey, what's up baby sister?" He said sweetly and Jade knew he must have been really worried. She felt happy, relaxed and loved. Of course she knew her brother loved her very much, but it was not always he showed this sweet side of his unless he was very worried.

With a smile, she pulled in for a very much needed hug with him and he didn't hesitate to draw her nearer "Are you okay Jade" he asked again a bit worried as he knew she was not the huggy type "I'm sorry for not answering your call Jamie, I didn't know my phone was on silent" she said against his chest, he sighed and patted her head as he reminded her to always make sure to call him at least twice a day.

Jade raised her head up to look at her brother with a wide smile on her face, for once she was actually grateful he was protective of her. She touched the growing blonde hair on his head and thought to herself my brother has certainly hot too!" He raised a questioning brow at her, probably feeling embarrassed at being stared at like that by his sister "I love you Jamie" she said eventually making him give her one of his hot smile "I love you too Jade Becker" he said and kissed her on her forehead and hurried her to bed after feeding her with a late night sandwich.

Another day at the Black's mansion, Jade did her work diligently, paying attention to madam CJ's meal plan, and this time she made sure not to bring any candy along, although his methods were cruel but she couldn't blame him for looking out for hus grandma, Madam CJ had been solemn all day. First Jade thought it was because of the candy but later she saw it was something else that made the woman sober but she didn't know what it was.

All the servants were not allowed into the main house, only the butler was around her and he gave her explicit instructions to take extra care of the old woman today. Then he left too, in the afternoon she heard the door open while she was in the kitchen to get some water for Madam CJ when she saw Ryan walk in with raging eyes and unsteady steps. When he noticed her, he shot her angry looks and seemed to want to strangle her. Jade held her breath as he lurked in her direction only to stumble upon a chair and fall straight on it.
