CHAPTER 48
“Fine. What do you want? What would it take for you to leave me alone?” Jade was already tired and if it was to dine with him, she may consider it, so long as he left her alone.
The last thing she wanted on her mission was falling in love and getting distracted from her goal not to speak of, for a guy to pester her.
Even though he looked handsome, guys like this carried danger with them everywhere they go and Jade being the ever careful and free girl, wanted no part in that.
Says who she wanted to belong to anybody.
Mister, you can try another time.
Jade waited patiently to listen to his request and see if she could grant it or ignore him.
Worse, she could have Arctic give him a sound warning and he would stay away.

“Simple. BECOME MINE.”

Like a pair of broke able plates falling to the floor and shattering into pieces, Jade’s illusion or...
Scratch that. She did not know what was real anymore with his words still echoing and replaying in her mind.
Before Xander knew what was happening, Jade had burst into a peal of laughter at his absurd request.
Xander scrunched his nose at her and his smile began to fade.
He still couldn’t come to terms with the fact that he was laughed at with something he was serious about.
The next words that came out of Jade’s mouth as a response, did more harm than good to his already bruised ego.
It was one thing to be laughed at by his friend but it was another thing when it was the whom you desired who laughed at your advances.
‘I would make you mine and see if you would be laughing so hard then.’ Xander was determined to prove to her that he wanted her and he was sincere about it.
Was he serious right now? Jade could not place his words on a scale right now as she was too occupied with the thoughts that laced her mind with worry.
Speaking of worry, she should have been somewhere by now.
Urgh! He succeeded in distracting her. Jade cancelled the thoughts about him being a gentleman and began to suspect him.
“First that night at the party and now this? He seems to be everywhere and anywhere Anders is,” she muttered to herself before turning on her heels and heading for the entrance of the hotel
She had wasted too much time. It was better to ignore him and move on with her plan than to waste precious time being here with him.
“You cannot go in there.” Xander’s voice reached out to her again and like a bustling wind against a wall, Jade ignored his words and kept on walking.
‘Stubborn woman!” Xander rushed upfront and blocked her path, preventing her from taking another step forward.
“Hey, move away.” Her voice came off as threatening rather than simply asking.
“It is off. Banned, closed, prohibited. Name it. You just cannot go in. It has been booked.”
“Why and by whom?”
“Tsk, I do not know. I guess by a very wealthy man if you ask me. I was coming to book reservation myself when I was turned down,” Xander explained once more.
“Oh, I see.” Xander became happy that she was beginning to believe him and let his guard down.

“You do not?” Jade shook her head at him and was about leaving when Xander held her hand and pulled her towards the entrance without much thinking.
“Hey, where are you taking me to?” Jade half yelled at him.
“To check things out yourself since you obviously do not believe me.”
“I do not need you. I can go on my own,” Jade protested and pulled away from his grip but he held on tight.
“No.”
“Hey, let me go.”
“I do not want to.” Xander was going to have a headache because of her. “Why are you so stubborn?”
“Why are you holding me?”
“Forget the hotel and just be mine.”
“I do not want to be any man’s mistress!” Jade remarked coldly, causing Xander to halt in his steps and swiftly whipped his head around followed by his body.
“Pardon.”
“I said I do not...” Just when Jade opened her mouth to speak, Xander took a step towards her, closing the distance between them.
Before she had enough time to repeat her words, Xander pulled her by the waist with one hand while the other moved up to her cup her face gently then pressed his lips against hers, sealing them with a kiss.
