My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 144 - 142 - Sacrifice



"Peggy, keep your eyes at Jayden. Never take your eyes off him." Sophie murmured softly.

I looked at her and she was smiling. She turned to where Jayden was and I followed. He was still standing there. I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like our distance was so wide to the point that it was making me restless.

I took a step forward and ran to him. A.E's security team pointed their guns to the man when they saw me running towards Jayden. No one tried to stop me. Maybe they know that Jayden would be mad if someone touched even just a single strand of my hair.

When I got closer, I crashed into his back and hugged him from behind. I know he was surprised. I was trembling, afraid that I would lose him. 

When I felt his hand from mine, I cried. I feel safe just by his touch. I don't care if his other self wanted to kill me. I trust Jayden. I would never doubt his love for me. I know he will protect me from my father and from himself. He's the only one who could make me feel safe.

"Love?" He whispered.

"Don't look! Let's stay like this. I don't want to see that man." I answered.

"I understand. Don't worry, I would never let you go. I won't give you and Caden to your father." He said while he was staring at the man in front of him.

"I admire your courage and your love for her. But I know it will eventually ruin you both. Once you lose and you have no other choice, one of you will need to make a sacrifice." The man commented.

I heard Jayden chuckled.

"First, you underestimated me. Now, you underestimate our love. We don't need to explain anything to you. I believe you are the one who has something to say."

"Don't think that I am siding with you. I will do what you ask because of my brother and my sister. Just promise me that they will be safe." The man said.

I couldn't understand what they were talking about but it seems the wheels have turned and George's brother would tell us everything he knows about my father's plan.

"You have my word. Take him."

Four men approached the man when Jayden said that. And while I tried to look at George's brother, I saw his hand was bleeding. That's when I realized he was the one who got shot.

I watched as the security team took him out of the restaurant until he disappeared from my eyes. When I looked outside, I noticed there were a lot of people including the media.

"Love?" Jayden called.

He then turned around and faced me. I slowly tilted my head up to look at his face. I was pouting and tears were starting to blur my vision.

"Hey. I'm sorry for worrying you." He said in a gentle voice while he wiped my tears.

I didn't say a word and just leaned my head to his chest, listening to his heart while I wrapped my arms around his waist.

I felt him hugging me back and kissing the top of my head.

"Let's get out of here before the police arrive." It was Luke's voice.

I looked at Jayden again. He kissed me on the forehead and brushed his hands to my cheek.

"Let's go home for now. You can call your brother and Emily in the car."

I nodded. I almost forgot about Kyle and Emily. I took a deep breath and started to walk when Jayden pulled me out of the restaurant.

The security team lined up to make a way for us. There were a lot of people including reporters who were trying to get information from us. No one from our side spoke even a single word. 

Media Tech, owned by the Jackson Clan, was the only company who would know the information and we will decide when we will let it out in public.

I was quiet inside the car, waiting for Jayden. He was just outside talking to Luke, Andrew and Percy. I was sitting in the back seat while Owen and Jayden's cousin were in front.

"Princess, don't worry about your father. We will do everything to protect you and young master Caden." Owen blurted while looking at me from the rearview mirror.

I smiled and nodded at him. "Thank you, Owen." I simply answered.

I'm not sure if I'm being rude but I felt anxious when Jayden was not by my side. 

After talking to our friends and some of A.E's men, I saw him walk towards the car door. I looked at the rearview mirror again and I saw Owen smiled and nodded. He then closed the partition window between the front and the back seat.

As soon as Jayden came inside the car, I knew he was about to say something but I crushed my lips with his, kissing him hungrily. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He responded by pulling me by the waist.

I don't know why my lips were trembling. Maybe because I have a lot on my mind and was really getting stressed with my father.

I wanted to feel his touch, his lips. I wanted to feel all of him. I brushed my tongue to his lips and slid it inside his mouth when he parted it. He met my tongue with his, gliding over each other and savoring the wetness and softness of our mouth.

Jayden was the one who pulled away first. He cupped my face, looking at me, frowning.

"I'm really sorry for making you worry. Can you tell me your thoughts?" He asked with a worried face.

I bit my lips, hesitating to tell him what I felt. I stared into his, curling my lips before speaking.

"W-When I heard the gunshot, I-I remembered the day you came to the palace with blood in your hands. I don't want to see you like that again.. Love, promise me whatever happens you will put your life first, okay?" I whispered in a trembling voice.
