Chapter 153 - Someone With The Right Resources

Jake was so ecstatic to see Jade tonight. Immediately the call ended he instructed his secretary, Patrick, to inquire about Jade's closing hours. He was beyond elated so much that he rushed his remaining meetings and attended to all the work he had left, and dashed off to. He didn't know why he was feeling this excited, but it was a feeling he couldn't help. He had a smile plastered on his face all through his drive to Jade's place of work.

Jake had only arrived there when he saw Jade strolling out of the company, looking beautiful as always.

God! she looked sexy in her black pencil skirt tucked in black shirt and a nude color suit draped over it. She had those killer curves that he liked so much. Everything about her was well portioned, she had the curves in all the right places. Jake was sure God had created her on a Sunday after having a sumptuous meal. He must have used her to end this seven day of creation.

What sort of temptation was this?

'Get your head straight man' He spoke to himself. He shouldn't be lusting after her most especially when they were just friends, but he couldn't help it.

Jake stepped out of the car to approach her, when suddenly he saw someone stop her. He paused on his tracks as he watched them from where he stood. He thought it was a colleague kind of conversation not until he saw the guy holding Jade's hand. He felt something stir on his inside when Jade allowed the guy hold her hand.

It only too a few seconds when he noticed there was something wrong. He saw Jade trying to break free from the guys grip, but it seems like the guy wasn't letting go. A frown slowly appeared on his face.

Jake's hands clenched into a fist when the guy gripped Jade's hand for the second time, and from the look of things Jade was really trying hard to break the guy's grip on her, it seem she was been overpowered.

Jake took long and heavy strides as he walked closer to them.

"Let go of her hand" His voice was cold and threatening.

Jade and Cale were both surprised not just by his sudden appearance, but by the way he yanked Cale's hand from Jade's. His eyes were cold, and were shooting daggers at Cale. Cale shuddered under the man's intense and fierce gaze.

He quickly regained himself, breaking whatever spell Jake's gaze had cast on him.

"And who are you?" Cale asked irritatingly, but Jake didn't bother to listen to him as his eyes were focused on Jade's wrist, which was slightly red.

"Are you okay?" His voice soft and gentle. It was different from the one he had used seconds ago to threaten the scumbag standing two feets away.

Jade who was still in shock over Jake's sudden appearance nodded her head slowly. Jake took her hand in his and gave it a good look. His eyes flashed red when he saw the red prints on her hand. What sort of trength was this moron using on her?

Jake snapped his head towards Cale, who had a frown on his face from watching the little exchange between Jade and this mysterious man. Jake took a step closer to Jake but Jade immediately held his hand.

"Jake" She called softly, making him stop. She could feel his tensed muscles and from the way his fist was clenched tightly she understood what he was about to do. She didn't want a fight, and she didn't think Cale was worth the hassle.

Jake turned to look at her, and he noticed the way she shook her head gesturing for him not to. Jake's brows narrowed slightly, he sighed inside his head before returning his gaze to the man standing before him. He really wanted to punch him right there and now, but he knew he couldn't because Jade had asked him not to.

"Let this the last time you touch her again. I hope you understand" Jake snarled, his gaze was murderous and Cale could feel it.

He turned his attention back to Jade, he took her bag from her hand, and held her hand with his free hand.

"Let's go" He said to Jade, giving Jade a sense of deja vu as she looked at Jake's hand over hers. Yeah, those were the exact words he had said on their first night and this was exactly the way he held her hand and led her out of the club, like he didn't want her to go anywhere else.

Jade willingly let Jake pull her by the hand as he led them towards the car.

They had only taken a few steps when Cale snapped back to himself. Jake's words had left him speechless, the menancing tone at which he spoke and the aura surrounding him had sent shivers down his spine.

"Who the hell are you? And where are you taking her?" Cale asked from behind them, halting Jake on his strides. He paused but he didn't turn to look at Cale.

"Let's just say I'm someone with the right resources to send you to Venus to burn the next time you touch her" Jake uttered seethingly before continuing on his strides to the car, with Jade following him.

"Jade!" Cale called out, but he was completely ignored.

Jade turned to look at Jake when he opened the door for her. She didn't say a word and just stared to Jake.

"What?" Jake raised a brow at her.

"Nothing" Jade shook her head and stepped into the car. She didn't know what to say, but Jake actions had somehow warmed her heart. Jake walked to the other side of the car and hopped in, but not before glaring at Cale who was still looking at them, or rather looking at Jade.

Jake hissed and turned on the ignition. He drove immediately the car revved to life.

'What an idiot' Jake cussed in his mind.
