2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey, Jada. Any news?" Jayden asks immediately when I step into the mansion.
"No. All these have nothing. Cole's coming in an hour to check your car. Maybe they placed it somewhere in there." I say as I hand him a bag with the locket, watch, and Sarah's photo frame."We have thirteen hours." Jayden whispers just as Alexis walks to us."What if we give them something... counterfeit. We make a deal. Leo for the chip." She says, looking between us."Alexis. I told you, we can't risk Le..." Jayden starts, but I cut him off."Jayden, it seems we can't find it anywhere. Maybe your brother destroyed it or gave it to someone else. I think we should do what Alexis just said. We have no option." Alexis nods, and Jayden looks so conflicted."And furthermore, that way I can catch them, and they'll go to jail.""No, you can't." Alexis says in alarm, and I turn to her with an eyebrow raised. "Those men are ruthless. What if they havRelated chapters

Jayden has been silent since we left Sydney's base. I know he wants answers, but how can I just tell him. Should I be like; Hi, my real name is Candice Martins and I joined the American Mafia six years ago seeking revenge against the Italian Mafia after they fucked up my life. After I got my revenge I started my life from scratch and got into the FBI bla bla bla. I can't just tell him anything. In fact he shouldn't even know about the mafia. I'm not that evil to introduce him to it. I know how insane this sounds, I'm an FBI agent and a mafia member. No, I'm not a spy but I made a deal with Sydney Kings. After Marko Russo (the Italian mafia lord) would be killed, I could go away and do my own things. Sydney has changed the mafia and so it hasn't caused any problems since he and Isabella took over and for that I'm so thankful because the police have no issues with them as long as they don't cause chaos. Mike found me and gave me an opportunity to join the FBI. Mar

I raise my eyes towards a silent Jayden. He isn't moving or saying anything. His eyes are closed, and I can see tears dropping down to Leonardo's body. I look down to the body, but as every time I do, my heart skips, and I feel it clench in pain. I know people are around me, but I can't hear them. I'm sure Jayden can't, either. I see some men try to pick Leo from Jayden's arms, but he still clings on him. "Leave him alone. He's supposed to wake up." His lips say, and for the first time, a tear falls down my left cheek. The men say something, but Jayden doesn't let him go. Someone picks me up and hugs me. I don't hug the person back, but soon, I hear a whimper from me. Leonardo Williams is dead. I hit the person's chest as I cry. How could I let this happen? My mission was to protect him. A mission that I belittled. Leonardo is dead. I cry. The person hugs me, saying words that I don't understand. I stand in the person's arms until I can hear e

I look at Ryan's sleeping figure as I run my fingers through his hair. I've told him that I'll be gone for a longer time. Maybe weeks or even months. It depends on how creative and smart Leo's killers are. Earlier I had signed the adoption papers of Ryan so that when I'll be back, we would go away and start a new life together. I didn't tell him that I adopted him but I told him that I'd come with a beautiful surprise that he'll love. I bend down and kiss his right cheek then stand and walk to the room next door. I see a sleeping figure that stirrers immediately when I enter. "Do you have to go?" I nod knowing Abby can see me. I walk to her bed and sit beside her and she rises and hugs me. Abby has been my closest friend here and has helped me cope too apart from Ryan. "Take care of Ryan for me." I whisper and she nods still hugging me. "C.. Can I kiss you? For the last time?" She asks and I nod after a few seconds. She raises her head and kis

JAYDEN'S POV I pick up my training gears that I haven't used for months since Leo's health started deteriorating. Leo. It's been a month since his burial, and to be honest, this has been one of the hardest times of my life. I lost my best friend Lilian and my brother on the same day, but I had Leonardo. A product of their love. I promised to cherish him and protect him forever, but I failed. I failed. I look down at my hands that have formed a fist, and so I take in deep breaths, slightly relaxing my body. My phone buzzes on my side table, and so I walk to it to find a text from my closest friend. DylanI'm outside. Hurry up, or we'll be late. The text reads, and I take my gears. I had asked for a leave of about a year so that I could be with Leo. I couldn't focus on Leo and at the same time on basketball, and so I chose Leo. I walk down the staircase only to find mother talking to Leah and Alexis reading some fashion magazine. I

JADA'S POV "One tequila." I say to the bartender my eyes on the stage looking at one particular stripper. Ivy Armstrong. I've had eyes on her for the past twenty hours and nothing has come up. She's Alexis best friend who started existing six years ago with no criminal records. Not even a speeding ticket. The bartender calls me for my shot and I take it without any hesitation my eyes on Ivy with her white wig and white lingerie. She looks like an innocent angel. A huge contrast to the photo that Cole sent me where she was dressed as a devil. Her eyes meet mine and she gives me a seductive wink and continues dancing eyes on me. I give her a seductive smile without breaking any eye contact. After half an hour, she gets off the stage and I follow her until I'm stopped by two bulky men. "She's with me guys." Ivy comes and says and they move aside letting me follow her to a room labelled on Sweet Fantasy. "Sweet Fantasy. That's your name?" I ask m

"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. "Lin

We 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

ONE YEAR LATER JAYDEN'S POV "I'll really miss the three of you." I say, looking down at the three graves belonging to Jakob, Lillian, and Leonardo Williams. "I didn't know that I could feel at peace after your death, but in a way, you leaving me brought Jada to me." I say as I sit in front of the middle grave, Leo's. It had been my mother's idea to leave the space in between, and at the time, I disagreed, thinking how it was selfish to think that Leo would occupy that space someday. "You already met Clarissa Louisa Williams, my daughter." I say with a smile as I think of my daughter. She has my white blonde hair and blue eyes but Jada's facial features. She's beautiful. "And my son Ryan Costa Williams. They are the best kids anyone would wish for guys." I say just as I hear Ryan shouting for me. I immediately smile and get up. "Time for me to leave." I pat my trousers to rid off any dust. "I'll be back." I promise before turning and walking to

"Jayden. I need to tell you something." I start talking about an hour later of watching some crappy late night show that I didn't even understand what it is about. He doesn't respond, making me look at him. He's asleep. I sigh and turn down the volume, then stand and cover him well before sitting on the chair that I had previously insisted on sitting on. I decide to switch off the television after a while and look down at my phone. It's a little past one a.m. I miss Ryan so much. Jayden and I had talked to him hours ago, but I still want him here. I look at Jayden's peaceful face, sleeping and sigh. I want us to talk about the baby, but he needs to sleep and rest. It's like a heavy truth that I need to spit it out so that I can feel free. But it seems that I'll have to wait till in the morning. I stand and walk to the couch at the corner of the hospital room and lie down, and try getting some sleep. I've never thought about starting a family after Ashton, my parents and siblings di

Linda has informed me about the convulsions before she went into Jayden's hospital room. The first one started yesterday morning at around four a.m. I can see Sarah eyeing my stomach with curiosity but she dares not ask about it. And I really hope she doesn't. She treated me poorly last time I was here. "So, how long are you?" She asks looking ahead but I don't answer. I look down at my phone and continue my texts with Shawn. I really am changing. "Is that my grandchild Candice Martins?" She calls me by my birth names making me still and try to fight the urge to look up. "I know so much about you. Don't think that I'll just sit and see my son destroy his life because of some woman." Sarah says and I turn to her with a smirk. "That's the problem Mrs Williams." I start and I can see her eyes locked to mine. She has these beautiful brown eyes but one can see the sadness and void in it. She looks tired. "You don't have to love me for me to be with your son. You can take it easy, Jayden

"Jada, it's Sarah. I think we might need you here." Sarah says. "Why would you now need me after telling me to stay away from your family?" I ask with a scoff. "Could you come to the hospital then we'll talk about this. I had my reasons, and believe me, if I didn't want my son to get better, I wouldn't have called you." She answers, making me wonder what is happening to Jayden. "I'm in Seattle. I'm back at work, and my son just got back to school. I can't keep on disrupting my life because you can't decide if you want me there or not. I have a life Mrs Williams and I can't just stop it because you want me to." With that, I hung up my phone though I can feel my hand shaking.What happened to Jayden? I know Sarah has this large ego and wouldn't call me if nothing happened. Maybe I should call Mr Kings, his doctors can tell him what is happening. With that in thought, I pick up my phone that I had placed on the desk and search for Sydney's number, but it goes to voicemail. I try Isab

Isabella Kings has been nice to me for the past few weeks since I came back to LA even though I was rude to her before I went to Seattle. Her mother had asked for me to join dinner, and some days, some days prior to dinner, I found out about Ashton's betrayal and kid. "Bella. Is that dinner thing still on? Maybe it's time for your mother to meet my son. She's always complaining about me being alone." I say as we walk from a nearby grocery shop. "Really? Yeah. I'll tell her. She'll be so excited." She smiles, and I give her a small smile. I have decided to go back to Seattle in a week since Ryan needs to catch up in school after almost two months and Jayden's mother had been deadly serious when she told me that she didn't want to see me again. As for my unborn child, I'm 19 weeks long. I've stayed in the Kings' mansion since we found my son. Ryan had been silent for the first two weeks, but he started opening up, eventually making me let out a breath of relief. He had been silent an

"Where is she?" I ask angrily when I see Sydney. I'm holding Ryan's hand as I walk towards him with large steps. "Your FBI friend Mike has taken her to the FBI." Sydney informs me, and I continue looking at him expectantly, and he lets out a breath. "Where's Jayden?" I ask suddenly vulnerable. "He should be in hospital now. There's some people who work for us there who'll deal with him." He assures me even though I already know. "I should go to the hospital now. I need to check if Ryan and my baby are okay." I say, and Sydney looks confused for a while before the sudden realization dawns on him. "The fuck!" He shouts glaring at me. Sydney wouldn't want me to join them if he knew that I am pregnant. he almost lost his wife because of that."Please. We'll talk later." Sydney has been protective of me since he met me and helped me escape the Italians. "Izzy and I will drive you." He says after a sigh and we start walk

Sydney glares at Jayden, making him falter in his steps but continues walking to him. Sydney made it clear that no one should call him by his name during an operation since people could easily identify him. Or something like that, I wasn't really concentrating when he gave out that order. As for Jayden, this is the first field mission he's been on and doesn't know the rule or hasn't bothered to know. "Don." Jayden tries again, making Sydney raise an eyebrow. "Sir." I almost laugh at how unsure Jayden is. A car drives to us, making us all stop in our tracks and look at it. "Not again." Sydney mutters irritatedly, but his face shows amusement. Two women in leather attire and black four inch boots step out with guns. "Sorry we're late. Let's get moving, boys." Isabella says with a straight face as her Italian friend, Amelia, smirks and cocks her gun. Sydney walks to the them in large steps. "Always with the entrance, my love." Sydney jokes giving

Julia has been a tough cookie, but we eventually got her to talk when she was on the verge of death. I left Jayden behind to deal with her. 'Ryan is my only family. The rest were all killed by the Italians.' I remind myself when I remember Julia's taunting eyes. I can literally feel guilt trying to claw up my mind and heart, but I try everything to suppress it. Why should I even care? After all, my aunt's husband, who was also Julia and Julian's father, betrayed my dad to the Italians just because of his greed for power. The bastard didn't even know that he had just signed his death certificate. Too bad my aunt had to suffer his mistakes, too. That was the only information that we could get from Julia. The address she gave us was useless. "Did you find anything else?" I ask Cole immediately after he picks up the call. I hear him let out a sigh before he mumbles a negative response just like he did ten minutes ago. I'm getting even more desperate.

As soon as we landed, I switched on my phone and gave Joey Dan Hart's phone number and the other information I had. I went to my most recent calls and selected Cole's name. "Hey, Jada." He sounded tired."Did you find anything?" I ask instantly. "Yeah. I was just about to call you. Ivy visited a hospital a few weeks ago with the name Cassy Waters." Cole says, and I hum in acknowledgment. "Guess you already know that. So I checked for the name Cassy Waters and found hundreds of them then star...""Get to the point, Cole." I say suddenly impatient. "Forgot you're always rude." Cole laughs. "Okay, so I found her. Turns out that Ivy Armstrong was Cassy Waters' stepmother, who died seven years ago. Murdered. Cassy left a month after her burial." Cole explains, making the wheels in my head turn. "Anything else. What I want to know is where she is with my son Cole. Not her bloody history." I say my voice raising. I feel my phone bei
