Chapter 39
When Jade wanted to go to the Cedillo family to help her out with some trash talk, Mia stopped her.
“Easy there, this could affect your mom’s business. Our family business is already under threat from
the Cedillo family. I don’t want your mom also to suffer from this.”
Mia had been married for a while now, but she was meeting her friend this time because she needed a
place to crash.
After a two-hour walk, Mia arrived at the Byrne family’s place. Jade was the one to answer the door.
Seeing her friend, Mia couldn’t help but burst into tears, “Jade, can I crash at your place tonight?”
“What are you talking about? You can not only stay tonight, but you’re also welcome to bunk here
forever.”
Jade ushered Mia into the house, “What’s up, sweetheart? Did the Cedillo family mess with you?”
Mia nodded and then shook her head.
“You didn’t want to worry your folks so you didn’t tell them, but you don’t need to hide it from me. Did
the Cedillo family mess with you?”
Mia: “Yes, they did, but I fought back.”
Jade: “Did you give it your all?”
“No.”
Jade: “Next time if anyone messes with you, fight back with all you’ve got. My brother says it’s legit
self-defense.”
Mia smiled and nodded at her friend, “Deal.”
That night, Chad came home from work. He had his clothes draped over his arm intentionally.
Chad was handsome, working at the police station gave him an air of integrity. His actions and
demeanor were just like his father’s.
Chad was more handsome than most, his eyes striking. He often wore a serious expression, but
whenever he looked at Jade, he would often smile.
With Jade’s company, Mia felt much better, and she noticed the clothes on Chad’s arm. She thought to
herself, it was not even cold, why would he need a coat?
Then she looked at his hand. And she realized, that he was using the clothes to deliberately hide
something.
When Jade went over, Mia whispered, “Check out your brother’s left hand.”
Jade got it. She rushed to the door to greet Chad and while he was distracted, she swiped the
13-14
clothes off his hand. Seeing the item, Jade shrieked excitedly, “Woah””
Chad quickly used the clothes to cover the item again, asking, “Want some?”
“Absolutely, you always treat me the best.”
Jade was all smiles.
Chad handed the item to Jade with a smile, “This is sugar-free.”
He looked at Mia, “You guys carry on, I’ve got stuff to do.”
Jade, holding the bag, sneaked upstairs with Mia.
“Jade, what did your brother bring for you this time?”
Jade opened the bag for Mia to see, “Look, he knew I wanted some juice and he got it for me.”
“You should not drink too much, it’s bad for your teeth.”
Jade, “Don’t worry, my bro said it’s sugar-free.”
Being with Jade made Mia forget that she was married. She was still the same girl, cherished by her
parents. Her personality remained the same; she was still the temperamental Mia. She lived freely, not
confined to a tiny bedroom.
Being with the innocent Jade, she forgot all her troubles and they played into the night. She had no
idea that the Cedillo family was looking for her everywhere. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Andre couldn’t wait any longer. As the night grew later and Mia still hadn’t shown up, he started to get
worried. So, he called his men and asked them to search for Mia in every nook and cranny of
Havenbrook.
He also called his friends for help.
