CHAPTER 238

"Yeah. Wow and since the incident, I finally succumbed when I went over to his place and he kissed me. That was when I really knew the power of this bond. Then yesterday, I was still a mess."

"So he came over to help you satiate the feeling," Asia completed for her.

"That is more like it. So we are not back together."

"Sounds to me like you are but you do not want to admit and accept it because you keep your rage buried deep within you. And you guys are actually friends with benefit if you are not dating. Stop doing this to him, babe. From what you are saying, it is equally hard for him to be apart from you."

"Yes." She heaved an exasperated sigh. "It is hard."

"Good but yet, he is still keeping his promise to you and is not taking advantage of your situation. Most guys would readily jump on you because of this and have their way. For a guy, it is not easy."

Asia could see everything clearly but it seems Jade wasn't.

"Jade, until when would you open your eyes and see what we all see? Xander loves YOU. I can't believe I am saying this but I am jealous of you. Your man adores you, babe. Do not lose him, do not let your rage deprive you of him," Asia warned.

"Fine, I would our your words into consideration."

"Damn it, Lady. You are saying consideration. Hmm. You really do not know what you are playing with. Just be thankful he is your mate and not a normal guy who would get tired and leave you alone, for good."

It felt like Asia had taken a gong and hammered her words into Jade's brain as the only thing that echoed in her head was 'FOR GOOD' which seems to be the actual truth.

"By the way," Asia began, pulling her back to the matter. "I know you did not call me for us to talk about this. So I am going to ask, why did you want me here?"

"Can't I just want to have lunch or breakfast with my friend again?" Jade brushed off the question.

"Hmm. Stop evading. I believe you know there is no time."

"Truthfully yes. While we rest, well I won't say rest but we may not be putting in our best effort whereas Zale is out there plotting well."

"Good." Asia crossed her hands in front of her chest while arching a brow at Jade. "Shoot. I am all ears."

"In order to get things straight and have all of our men working at their best, I cannot afford any feud between anyone. I need to do the right thing and so must everyone so I know those with me are with me fully."

"Okay..."

"Yes. I have agreed to partner up with Xander Warner in order to defeat the Anders once and for all."

"That is good. At least that is a good start. I m glad you are finally seeing things our way."

"Yes. I agreed to make peace with my inner mind and I want you to do the same."

"Do the same?" Asia was wondering if she heard well after all she was not the one who was fighting with Xander was she?

"Hey, I am not the one who is not at peace with Xander, am I?"

"No. That is not what I am saying."

"Then what are you insinuating?"

"Simple. I made peace with Xander. You need to do so too. You need to make peace with your father."

"Uh..." Jade stretched forth her hand, hoping to get a reply from her but got nothing. "What do yous ay? You would do it right?"

"Duh, no. This si so different from yours."

"How is that so? As far as I am concerned, they are pretty much the same thing you know."

"No they are nit. How would you think that?"

"Because we were both hurt by the men closest to us. It is only natural that we hold a grudge ad if we want to get the best out of our work, we need to forgive them."

"You can forgive Xander. It is understandable. He did not know before hurting you and you two love each other deeply but that is not the case for myself and my father. He knew what he was getting into. He readily sacrificed my best friend for my life."

"Asia he was scared. He lost you before. It broke him but he kept it in his heart. Imagine the kind of hurt he must have felt when he could not save you before and had prioritised my safety for yours. He must have blamed himself every day because of it, thinking that serving my family he had lost the two most precious ladies in his life."

"Well, I never asked him to blame himself. I gave up my life willingly to save yours and  would do it over and over again."

"I would too, Asia but he gave birth to you. The love of a parent is unexplainable. You should understand that when he found a way to save you, he willingly went for it knowing the consequences because he could not bear losing you again and not do anything about it."

"He should understand the line of work he chose. I understood that and I was ready for anything and so should he. This is my life and not his."

She turned her head away, her arms still crossed in front of her chest as her anger only increased. She was stubborn just like Jade.

At that moment Jade saw how she was to everyone else when she was being unreasonable and selfish.

"Baby. Forgive him. He did all of these for you."

Turning her head around swiftly she half-yelled at Jade. "That's it. I never asked him to.. I cannot forgive him for hurting you and risking your life."
