Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You - Chapter 164

Jade didn’t go out from his room for thirty minutes. She needed enough time to get back to herself despites what happened between her and Jess.

It’s not that she was rȧpėd but what he did was a sėxuȧŀ harassment and she can report him to the authorities. However, she also knew that nothing good will come out if she reports Jess to the authorities. There is also a big possibility that they won’t believe her considering her reputation in the town.

They would rather believe someone from their region and someone with power and status-though he’s not that powerful, but considering his position in the most luxurious hotel therein in the city would elate his social status.

No one would believe a stranger even if someone from that place will attempt to kill her. All because she’s an unknown stranger in the land.

She sighed as she tried to condition her mind. Now it’s difficult for her to talk to his manager considering what happened at the top of the hill.

Jess tried to rȧpė her. In his attempt to get her, he tried to rip her dress near her ċhėst but Jade was quick to knock his balls using her leg. She made sure to hit his spot as hard as she could to the point that he couldn’t breathe due to the pain he’s feeling.

“Ahh!” Jess shouted on top of his lungs as soon as Jade crushed his manhood. He couldn’t help but crawl and roll to the ground while holding it.

Jade took that chance to roll away from him before standing up and held the stripped side of her dress.

“I never thought you would stoop down so low to do this kind of thing.” She teared up. “Y-you… The Jess I know can never do this! I hate you!” She yelped before running down the hill.

And the heavens seem to be having fun of her since ironically, she met Marcus on her way back to town.

Damn, did he see how disgraceful she is at that very moment? Now she’s ashamed of meeting Marcus too.

Why are weird things keep happening to her? She only wanted to live a happy and peaceful life with her child.

Ah yeah, speaking of her child, she couldn’t spend enough time with him since they’ve been very busy the past few days. So instead of going directly to where the party is, she decided to visit her child. He’s probably sleeping by now but looking at him would even give her peace within.

They started the party twenty minutes ago. The lively music coupled with the children’s laughter can be heard everywhere. Jade could also feel the joy outside but she chooses to stay beside her sleeping child while holding his tiny hand.

“Sweety, how I wish you can live a much better life than this…” Jade mumbled tenderly. “I wish I could give you a much better life.”

Tears started to roll from her eyes. Unknown to her, her old woman was watching her from a corner. She couldn’t bear the sight so she decided to go and sit with her. Yeah, she knew because she could feel that her tears weren’t only for her son.

“Jade…” She gracefully sat beside her. “I think its high time to tell me the truth.” She smiled meaningfully.

“W-what do you mean, mother? What truth are you talking about?”

“Don’t try to hide it from me anymore. Don’t you think it’s high time for you to tell me what’s bothering your heart? I can’t bear seeing you ill.”

“Ill? But I am not sick, mother.” Jade reasoned.

“I know you are well…physically… But I am pertaining to this.” The old woman stretches her arm and placed it on her ċhėst. “Your heart must be sick and tired, darling.”

Jade couldn’t hold it in anymore. yeah, she was right. She’s sick and tired of everything happening around her. This whole week has been a crazy one for her and she needs someone to pour her heart to.

And the old woman is just the right person who can help release the weight on her shoulder.

“It’s been a horrible experience, my child. But I thank God for helping you get through all of those. It only shows that God has something big for you in this life so don’t give up and trust God’s plans for you. I know you are meant for something great.”

Jade looked at her confused. After all her confession, isn’t it normal for someone to question the how’s and why’s of her story? She only told her the surface, is she really satisfied with just few and vague details?

As expected from the old woman, she’s smiling understandingly and that gave her the comfort she needs at that very moment. Good for her she was able to release the biggest secret she’s been keeping within her the whole time. Never mind the other details, she could tell her about it the next time she’ll ask.

“But still, I believe Marcus deserves to know the truth…” The old  woman added. “I understand your fear, my dear, but knowing that guy, I don’t think he’ll take your son away from you.”

“No, mother. You… we… we really don’t know about that. I just can’t bear to be separated to my child. Never. I’ll die if I lose him too.”

“Every mother would say that, child. But second chances aren’t that bad. Who knows, you might find it better than before.” The old woman stood up and walk towards the door. But before she left, she glanced at her one more time. “Have you ever heard of the phrase love is sweeter the second time around?” She grinned meaningfully. “Anyways, you should come to the ground, everybody’s waiting for you. Don’t worry about your son, he sleeps like a log.” She chuckled before she heads to where the party is.

“Love is sweeter the second time around huh.” Jade mumbled and sneered unbelievingly before turning her attention to his one and only son.

MEANWHILE, unknown to everyone, an unknown individual has just arrived at the mountainside. Though he was at the top of the hill, he can still see the joyous celebration below him.

He smirked evilly before taking out his Nr.2 Steyr SSG 69 Sniper rifle and set up on top of a hidden big rock. After fixing everything, he went inside the tent he ȧssembled and laid down his tired body.
