Chapter 5

 

"Teacher Stacy, you have to take responsibility!"

 

"Listen... I didn't know it wasn't his father. Adam has been calling him Daddy ever since."

 

"No! He only has me as his parent. How can you be so negligent as a teacher? What if he gets kidnapped, huh?"

 

"We'd better go to the police now."

 

I laughed coldly. That's all stupid Stacy can do. This young teacher was so inexperienced. She even handed her apprentice into the hands of an unknown person.

 

"If I go to the police station, I will report you!" I pointed at her nose. The young woman looked terrified.

 

"Let's see the CCTV and find out who brought Adam home." The principal appears.

 

Teacher Stacy and I walked side by side. I don't even want to look at her. Careless teachers will surely destroy their students one by one.

 

Through the CCTV footage, I can see the face of the man who picked up my son. Strangely, my son even entered his arms willingly. Miss Stacy gave me a sinister look as if in the valley of victory. "How did I know he was a kidnapper when your son called him Daddy?"

 

I ignored Miss Stacy's sarcasm. Now the most important thing is to find out who the bastard that took my son away is.

 

"He's Jayden Wood." The principal said.

 

"Who's he?"

 

"Owner of Exxand. The largest communications company. Reportedly, he built his own company to the size it is today. His IT skills are no joke." The headmaster told me excitedly.

 

"Where are they? Where is the kidnapper? How dare he take my son!"

 

I screamed. It doesn't matter if it has to be public consumption. The important thing is my son is back safe and happy.

 

 

"Patience Mrs., sorry, I mean miss. But judging by the video, Adam is fine. There's nothing for you to worry about."

 

The headmaster seemed very calm, knowing that one of her students was missing. Something that made me feel so awkward that I was hysterical and uncontrollable.

 

"You! How can you be so calm, huh? I'm not even married!"

 

Principal Hardy gave up. He told me to come to Jayden in person to sort out our private matters. I grunted and hurried away. Don't forget to give me the middle finger at the incompetent principal and teacher. Before leaving, I clarified that I would not reconcile with everyone involved in my son's disappearance.

"Where's Jayden?"

 

I asked the nervous office receptionist. Father introduced me to everyone that I was the heir to his business. It's a shame when they think I'm a billionaire now. I just got a job teaching piano lessons. Of course, without Father's knowledge. Father disapproves of me working and wants me to enjoy his money while relaxing. I knew what I was doing, so I chose my path early, even though I would later take all the inheritance for myself.

 

"Mr. Jayden is in his office, Miss."

 

"Is he with a child?" I asked probingly.

 

The receptionist nodded. I felt both relieved and angry. After he raped me and threw money at me that night, he claimed he was a father. Father what? He doesn't even know me and my pregnancy. He had never even met Adam before.

 

 

"Where is the room?"

 

"I have to confirm first." the receptionist asked my permission to call. I waved my hand. "Hurry up!"

 

Take a look at this office space. Very large and magnificent for the size of a startup company. Huh, why am I praising this jerk's company?!

 

It seemed Jayden had predicted my arrival. He was waiting for me in his room. I walked quickly and barged in. My first shot was a slap on the cheek.

 

"What are you doing?!" Jayden shouted angrily. I put my hands on my hips in front of him. Even a thousand rages of this bastard wouldn't scare me.

 

"I should be the one asking. What did you do with my son? You kidnapped him. I'll take a case and throw him in jail."

 

 

Jayden smiled crookedly. He underestimated. This stupid man has not changed.

 

"Why?"

 

I found Jayden's gaze very strange. He looked like a starving animal that saw its prey in sight.

 

"I'll never forget the taste of you."

 

Oh, God. Jayden grinned. He stared at my body parts with lecherous. I'm getting crazy. I'm running out of patience with him.

 

 

"So that you know, I'm not a whore!"

 

"I know. I know after you didn't take the money and the real prostitute came after, I was delighted."

 

I wish I were deaf. I hope I lose my memory. I don't want to talk about this. Jayden knew my discomfort and he grew even more.

 

"Where's my son?"

 

"He's my son too."

 

"WHERE IS MY SON, DAMN IT? WHERE!"

 

I pulled his collar in a frenzy. I glared. Jayden is very relaxed and now and then, he caresses my cheek. I pushed Jayden's body to the ground. The man was still smiling.

 

"Until when are you going to make fun of me?"

 

Even if I have to hurt him, I will have no regrets.

 

Jayden's eyes widened when I took the katana that became the wall decoration. I feel like I'm carrying a huge rock. Try to stay relaxed. Even I don't know how to use it. It's just like acting in an action movie.

 

"I will not hesitate to kill you. Tell me where my son is now, or I will finish you here. Your history will end soon if you keep playing around."

 

"Ow, that's awful. Gosh! I'm going to die!"

 

Unlucky! It turned out that Jayden was only pretending to be scared. And the katana turned out to be a fake. It's not sharp at all.

 

 

"WHERE IS MY SONNNN!"

 

I screamed hysterically. Can't this man who claims to be the biological father tell where Adam is?

 

 

I rolled. Shout. Wailing. As long as my son is returned, let me look like a pathetic madman.

 

 

"Calm down. Hey, calm down!"

 

Jayden held my shoulders and I tried to struggle. But the force was too strong that I could not move. Jayden hugged me. It's the first time I've been this close to a man in years.

 

"Adam is in the next room. Your son is playing with my secretary." Jayden whispered.

 

 

I immediately broke away from Jayden. Before Adam came into my arms, I could never calm down.

 

 

"Adam! Where are you?!" I shouted. My son sat at a table with a beautiful woman I confirmed was Jayden's secretary.

 

"Mommy!"

 

"Adam!" I hugged Adam tightly. I kiss his head. I don't want him to be separated from me. If something happens to him, I will never forgive myself.

 

"What are you doing? You know that Mommy is looking everywhere for you?"

 

I cry. My tears are unstoppable.

 

"Mommy, don't cry. Mommy, I have Daddy now. Mommy, we will live with Daddy from now on."

 

I quickly wiped my tears. Do you live with daddy? I don't even know Jayden. I only know him, but he is not a nice guy.

 

"No. You have to stay with Mommy. Now let's go home, honey." I carry my son. When I turned around, Jayden was already standing and blocking our way. He held my hand tightly.

 

"I'm not letting you take my son, Khloe."

 

"What do you mean? He's my son!"

 

Jayden took out a piece of paper. "DNA test results. He is my biological child and from now on, I will not let you guys out of my sight."
