Uncharted Desires ( Healing Love)

Hurt and Haunted

Jade let out a breath of relief and then poked him gently, trying to see if he was still alive. But he was as still as a corpse, so she brought her head nearer to chest to confirm. "Rachel, where are you.......I'm sorry....I'm sorry" he muttered repeatedly and seemed to be in anguish. Jade froze, she felt a pang in her heart just from hearing him nutter another woman's name so dearly and painfully.

She moved away from him hurriedly only to be stopped by a pull from him, he held her hand really tight that it hurt. Like he was never going to let go, Jade went soft for him when she noticed how his brows seemed to tighten in pain. Reaching out a hand to smoothen it out a bit, he moaned and tears dripped from.yje corner of his eyes, Jade hand stopped midway as she stared at him in shock.

The great Ryan Black was crying over a woman, she didn't know how to feel. She felt sorry for him, guilt for loving someone who already belongs to a certain Rachel, and jealousy for not being the one who occupies his thought the way Rachel did. Forcing back tears, she cleaned his tears too and looked around the house for a maid but she saw none of them so she decided to do the work herself, she dragged him up, it took her some minutes to get him into a room downstairs.

She breathed heavily an she dropped him with a thud "how the mighty could fall" she muttered loudy when she heard the sound of Ryan against the bed, Jade sat down for a minute to catch her breath as she looked around the biege decorated room. After sitting for a while, she stood up to leave only to notice that she was still being held tightly by him. Jade struggled for more than ten minutes before giving up, she felt like crying. Why does she have to suffer in place of Rachel.

"Jamie will be worried "she said to herself while biting her lips, she patted her body and sighed in relied when she found her phone. With her left hand she typed a quick message to him and kept the phone on the table, immediately she got his call. "Where are you, I can pick you up" he said as soon as the call connected, he was apparently still on his way home, that was why he didn't know she wasn't home yet. "No, you don't need to. I'll home and I'll be safe......this is gokng to take a while" she looked down at her hand that was intertwined with Ryan's when she said the last part.

"Okay, be safe and call me if anything happens" Jamie reminded again before Jade cut the call. Jade felt both sore and happy as she looked down at their hands and back to his peaceful face, he looked so cute, so harmless and innocent with his eyes closed. But only she knew what she felt and saw when he tortured her with cigarette.

How can someone be so dangerous and magnetive, she knew for certain that she likes this guy even if he his a total ass but he had too many burdens and complications and might never see her. Hell! What was she even expecting, he wasn't in her caliber, he probably won't even spare her a glance.

With her head propped on her arm which was resting on the bed while she sat on a stood by the side, finding the best angle, she stared at him for a long time. Actually there was no bad angle when it came to Ryan, he looks good from any side. Jade had all these though as she studied him and slowly she dozed off too, her propped arm dropped and her head was now resting on the bed.

******** *************

Ryan was sitting, looking like his usual self, but there was something different about him as he conversed with an elderly man sitting opposite him. There was life in his eyes, he looked very much alive. Unlike his empty gaze, he sat behind a table that had a nameplate that reach "Prosecutor Collins" and the elderly woman stood up and offered her hand with a smile "thank you professor Collins" she said to which Ryan replied.

His surname was Black but tpmavoid bro g recognized he had to go by his grandmother's name, which not so many people knew. As soon as the old woman left, he looked at his watch for the upteenth time. Then he tried calling a number that was stored as "Prettiest" it rang for a while before going to voicemail, he frowned with worry and stood up to go check. He was happy when he saw a heavily pregnant lady trudging towards him carefully and he smiled, clearly she was his prettiest and also frowned quicky walking to meet her halfway.

"Hey, why did you come all the way here. I told you I was gonna come pick you up" he asked after drawing her in for aside hug as her stomach had grown too big already "You worry too much, I and our son needed the exercise" she replied in a cheery voice while flashing him a smile so sweet that his anger melted, he dived in for a kiss before ushering her out.

They got in the car......Ryan drove and held "prettiest" hand, suddenly a lorry rammed into them from the side.....the car crashed into a concrete wall on "prettiest" side, Ryan's eyes went wide and then everything went dark. Opening his eyes with a start, Ryan's eyes watered as he looked around and groaned. Trying to get up he saw a blonde hair by his bed side fast asleep, holding unto his hands or maybe it was the other way round. He couldn't care less as he jerked her awake pushing her hand away "what did I tell you about minding your business here!" He said in a menacing and threatening low tone. Jade was wide awake from the chill his voice carried without her normal required cup of coffee.
