CHAPTER 231
Listening to Macy\'s encouragement, Jade shut her eyes for a second then reopened them.
"Whenever I see his face, I am reminded of why I am where I am in the first place," she confessed, letting out a deep breath.
"But do you feel that way when the mate bond kicks in and you want him?"
"Huh... No. at that point I want him so much that it seems my brain would explode or my insides would stop aching without him."
"That should let you know that with love you can forgive. You have a big heart, Jade. Use it and let it go. Free yourself, dear, lessen your burden."
"I guess I would try."
"No. This is not the time for trying, Jade. Time is not waiting for you. Yes, I know it hurts that they are dead and all but baby girl, you have to move on. Do not allow the dead to be the driving force for your existence. You know your parents wouldn\'t have wanted this."
"But I owe it to them to get revenge."
"And continue the circle of wickedness? No. It has to end. It is painful and yes if you want to get revenge I won\'t stop you but if you would do so at the detriment of your life and future, then I am not in support."
"I do not get you, Mace. Are you for me seeking revenge or not? Cause right now you sound like Xander."
"At least someone else has sense."
"Hey, be plain with me and say what you mean. Am lost already."
"Simple, at first you were going for your revenge and I did not stop you. I wasn\'t involved basically."
"So what changed?"
"Ever since meeting Jay and Xander and Sky, I just kind of got involved. The point is that before, you hid from Zale while gathering your people and planning in secret right?"
"Right."
"But regardless, Jade, you still had a life."
"Which? The cursed one of falling in love with the person that made me hide in the first place? You see I can almost not escape this fate, my dear. That is just how it is."
"No. Your fate is in your hands. And I believe ate just brought you two together to show you that there can still be hope and you have a life."
"Not easy."
"Nothing good comes easy but if you can pull through, and accept Xander back, Arctic and lead your people, you would see how it all plays out. Trust me. You are strong, you are brave, my dear and more importantly, you do not let anyone control your life. Now show me that best friend who saved me. Show me the undefeated Jade."
"Mace..." she smiled at her, understanding what Macy was trying to do for her as she hugged her closely.
"The world needs you, Jade," Macy said patting her on the back. "I hope you realize that and see yourself the way I see you. It is time for the heiress of the Frost family to rise again."
"So I should revenge still?"
"All I know is that, make the Anders pay for what they did to your family and supporters while also living your life because, after your revenge, you would need a life to get back to. Remember, your company needs its owner."
"Alright then. I would take your advice. Thanks."
"It is what friends are for, Jade. To always be here."
"Happy to have you, dear."
They pulled away from the hug and Macy yawned out feeling too tired to do anything.
"My guess you are so not going to work today are you?"
"Well, I am vice CEO and even a baby needs her rest. Besides the workload, this period is choking. I need you back babe. Hurry!" she shook Jade by the arm, showing her the urgency in their situation.
"Okay, okay, I have heard you. I would resume work this week."
"Yay."
"But tell me," Jade looked u at her friend and helped her straighten her hair out with her fingers. "What got you so tired like this, hmm? It is just work I know."
"Fine, you and your know it nose. Jay came over and did me solid."

"What?" she ignored Jade and took a lock full of hair as she began to play with it. "Let\'s just say your aroused and frustrated state got to me and I was missing my fiancé. So I called him and he, you know."
"Aww, naughty girl. No wonder you are this tired."
"Yeah. My whole body felt it. I came for hours!"

"Don\'t be too surprised, it is one of the pecks of mating with a dragon. Gosh, his stamina is one in a million and surprisingly, my human body can keep up. Jay is so proud of me. Oh by the way, how did your call go yesterday? I know you were angry but did you still give it a try?"
"Nah."
"Seriously? Then how is it that you are looking sane and not deranged right now?"
"Well, let\'s just say, he came over."
"Oh my God!" She used both hands to cover her mouth with her widened eyes betraying her shock and excitement.
Pulling her hands down, she leaned in and looked at Jade. "Go away. You joking right?"
"Nope," Jade said shaking her head at her. "He was even there before I arrived."
"Oh my! Looks like lover boy had things going intense in his mind and down there too, hmm?"
"Not really. It was all my fault. He wanted to help but turns out that my calling him placed him in the same dilemma as I was."
"Okay. So you did it?" she arched her brows expectantly at Jade\'s reply but when it came, she was bumped.
"Nah."
"Bummer."
\'But we did, you know. We were intimate a bit but not the main course. We just helped each other out, that\'s all."
"Hmm, from the look in your eyes, it was more than that."
"I wanted it to be but his promise, he intends on keeping it."
"That\'s my Xander. Yay boy."
"Huh, who are you siding, Mace?"
"Well, he is respecting you.. I am siding the side of mate hood and true love, nothing more."
