"Hey, Jayden can we meet up. Right now?" Linda calls Jayden still sobbing. "Yeah. That's perfect." She says and hangs up the call.
"This this park near the Williams' mansion. He said he'll meet me there." She says and she takes her phone and calls someone. "Dave, party's over. I'll be out for a while... Yeah.... With Jada... Okay." She says hanging up and climbs onto the back of the motorbike.I follow her directions to the park and we arrive just as Jayden arrives on foot. He stops in his tracks and looks at me wide eyed. He's in a black leather jacket where he's tacked his hands in. He has a pair of black jeans that look good on him. Linda gets off the bike as Jayden opens and shuts his mouth then walks to me when he notices that I'm trying to leave."Jada? Fuck! I've been looking everywhere for you." He says surprising me. He has?"You have?" Linda asks looking between us. Jayden clears his throat then realizes the situation."LinWe walk towards Sydney's office until I find a woman with hair as black as mine but with some curly brown highlights towards the end kissing a blonde haired man. They hear us approach and stop then look towards us. The Italian bitch Amelia and her husband Larry I think. All I know he's Isabella's best friend but rarely has anything to do with the Mafia. I look behind me to see Jayden looking at them as I can imagine what he's thinking. 'They are also part of the mafia?'. It's not like we come with a label on our foreheads that say 'hey, I'm part of the mafia kill me'. We all have the same tattoo on either our shoulder blades or biceps. Mine is on my shoulder blade. I pass them but the Italian stops me. "Why is he here? You can't bring outsiders and you know that." She says and I scoff. "Hi. I'm Jayden. I'm helping Jada." Jayden says standing in front of them and I roll my eyes. "I'm Amelia and this is my husband Harry." She says as Harry kisses the back of her hand. I roll my eyes
I stop in front of my apartment that I don't use as much as I'm supposed to, and Jayden climbs down my bike first before I do the same. "How many places do you own?" Jayden asks when we walk towards the entrance. We walk to the elevator, and I press four before I answer. "Only here. I sold the other one when I found this place. It's convenient." I say, and he only hums. The elevator stops seconds later, and we step out. There are only two apartments on this floor and I've never cared to know who lives in the other one. All I know is an old man who moved in weeks before I did. I walk to my white door on the right and let Jayden get in first. "Welcome to my humble home." I say uninterested as I walk to the impressive kitchen and drink a glass of water. I look towards the kitchen door to find Jayden standing there and watching me, his hands crossed in front of his chest. That makes them look larger. "What? You're free to check the fridge." I say. He walks
"Jada. I've checked. Twice. But there's nothing in there." Cole says and I let out a long breath. "Do you think that Jacob or his wife destroyed the chip before they died?" Cole asks a question that has been bugging me. "We can't know for sure and so we just have to search for it. The killers seem too sure that it's somewhere and so I won't give up. Anything else?" I ask as I take the bag containing Linda's headphones that Cole hands to me. "Noel Scott lives in Jacaranda street 401." He says typing in something rapidly in his computer. A picture of a mansion shows and he prints it out. "That house to be precise." It's stated that Jacob and Lilian Williams bought the mansion and decided to gift it to him. It might seem like an act of kindness but it screams 'suspicious'." He sings the suspicious part. I take the photo. "Can you send me every information about the house?" I ask as I look at the beautiful mansion. "Sure. I have it somewhere here saved." I nod and thank him before liv
"You sent your best agent and she messed up. Again!" Peter Billiard shouts while hitting the brown mahogany desk with his left palm that is covered in a black leather glove. His shoulders are tense and his face? I've never seen it so red! Oh boy. I seat quietly and watch everyone talk about my 'mistake'. "Jada is never careless during her missions. We could call this... a mishap." Mike tries defending me but I know when we're out of here I'm in trouble. Peter Billiard turns to me and I look straight into his eyes. His confidence somehow diminishes and I inwardly smirk. I have that effect on everyone. From my bosses to my colleagues and everyone who knows me. Well apart from a separate group of people but that's a story for another time. I look beside me to find Cole, my partner, looking away almost like he wants to hide under the desk. "The man was a threat. His gun was pointed at Lark's head. It was either to kill him or let him kill Lark." I explain for the seventh time. And to
"Hi. I'm Jada Costa. The new nanny." I inform the security guard through a screen. I look around as I wait and I love their security. To have such security requires a small fortune. The footpath gate opens and I enter to find a 6'3 man with a buzz cut standing behind it. He tells me to follow him and I do just that. A beautiful dark skinned middle age woman stands infront of a large door that is closed. Her hair is in a tight bun and she's in a tailored skirt with a coat. I could assume that she's the lady of the house but she seems too professional. And based on the files I have, Sarah Williams doesn't look like her. So she must be Leah Saint. Sarah's best friend and house manager. "Welcome to the Williams' mansion. I hope you are Jada Costa, Leonardo Williams' new nanny." "Pleased to meet you Mrs." I try placing a smile on my face but it seems hard and so I go with a straight face. I raise my hand for a greeting and she takes it into her warm ones. "I'm Leah Saint. I manage the
"I'm nine, not four Jada. I don't understand why everyone keeps forcing me to eat these... " He makes a disgusting face. "... things." He lifts up a broccoli on his fork. I give out a short laugh. "Hey, I made you laugh." Leo says in disbelief, then turns to look at the chef. "Rita, I made Jada laugh. Isn't that just mind-blowing!" Rita and I laugh once again at his expression. "I know what you're doing. Eat your vegetables. You need them to fight all diseases." I say, and he frowns a little bit but starts eating but stops after two bites, then looks at me with a look saying 'see I ate'. "Let's make a bet then. You eat, then I'll sing a song before you sleep." Just as I finish talking, the fourth bite takes place, and I snicker. Just then, Sarah Williams comes into the dining room. Leo's eyes light up when he looks at her, and I raise my eyes to where she stands. I know my body has suddenly gone rigid, and my face impasive. It's a body instinct. That's how I react to anyone I don
"Hi Jada. Ryan want to talk to you. He's been sad since you left." Abby, one of the women at the children's home, tells me through the phone and my heart breaks. "Give him the phone. I'll talk to him." I tell her and she hums before I hear some shuffling on the other side. I look at the laptop screen and see Alexis talking to someone through the phone in hushed voices. Hmmm. "Jada!" Ryan's excited voice comes through the phone and I immediately smile. "Hey Ryan. How are you?" I ask. "I miss you and I don't want to go to school without seeing you. Where are you?" He is sad. I went to the home four years ago and found a two year old Ryan. Black hair and bottle green eyes. I felt an instant connection with him. Probably because I'd have a baby with the same age right now. I continue watching Alexis as she disconnects her call and turns to Jayden who just arrived. "Go to school and I'll talk to you when you come back. I'm at work and I really can't leave. I'll see you during the we
12.32 a.m. I better head off to bed. I yawn as I raise my hand to switch off my laptop screen showing different parts of the house but a movement makes me stop mid air depriving me off any traces of sleep. In a large white shirt is Alexis tip toeing out of her room as she looks around. Her eyes look at the camera and my breath hitches. It's like we're looking at each other. I stay immobile waiting for any movement. Her head turns before her body does the same and heads towards the hallway with my room in. At least she never saw the tiny camera. I turn the screen to the cameras showing my hallway. She tiptoes as she looks around. She looks almost confident. Like something she's used to doing it. She stops in front of Leonardo's room. Hmmm! I turn the cameras to Leo's room. Alexis stand at the foot of his bed looking at his sleeping form. She moves closer to his bed. I take the discarded wig that I placed next to the laptop and start fixing it into my hair as I stare intently at th
