Chapter 115 - 115 - Rage

JAYDEN POV

I was in the garden talking with Luke on the phone, I suddenly felt someone was watching me. I shrugged it off thinking it was just my imagination but I felt the gaze following my every move.

I acted normal while talking to Luke but sent him a code so he knows I was being watched.

"Angel." I said.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"I need an angel." I continued.

"I'll tell Andrew to prepare the plane. We'll fly tonight. Go check on Peggy. Be casual." He said.

Angel was the word we usually use when someone is in trouble or if we need help. It started with Alora. Her psycho killer aunt always calls her angel. At first, we thought it was a compliment because Alora looks like an angel but we found out it was a message to her, asking for help. From that moment, we used it as a code when we needed help.

"Thank you." I simply answered before ending the call.

I know that the one watching was behind me and was just nearby. Marissa was right. There were spies inside the palace. I thought of Peggy. She was alone in our bedroom, sleeping.

I tried not to walk fast so that the person watching me won't think that I already noticed. As I walked inside the palace halls, a guard from A.E glanced at me. I nodded and four more guards followed.

I was a few steps closer to our bedroom when I saw the door was slightly open. The guards who were guarding the door were nowhere in sight. I frowned. My heart started pounding loudly. My thoughts were messing up my head. It was like the time I saw my mother get murdered.

The guards took their guns out and positioned themselves by the door. One guard slowly opened the door and two went inside to check the intruders.

"Clear!" They shouted in unison.

I felt relieved for a moment but when I went inside, Peggy wasn't there anymore. I felt like cold water was poured into my body. My heart thumped so loud that I thought it would break out from my chest.

I walked towards the bed and saw a small paper. It was a note from her father asking her to meet him. He was threatening her that he would kill me if she didn't meet with him.

I crumpled the paper, gritting my teeth. Will he never stop messing with my life? How could he do this to her own daughter? He killed my mother and now he took my wife. If he hurt her, I will never forgive him.

I walked towards the window and saw that the curtains were disheveled. I looked outside and saw the garden. It was where I was standing earlier.

Did they threaten her? Telling her there was someone watching me and ready to attack me so she could come with them.

"Sir, we have CCTV footage of the abduction." One of my men said.

He put the laptop he was carrying on the table and opened it. Showing me the footage taken, half an hour ago.

A woman dressed as a maid approached the guards and gave them something like tea. A few minutes later, they fell unconscious and three men took them.

Another man who's wearing a hooded jacket walked inside the bedroom. Then the maid went inside and when they went out of the room, the man was carrying Peggy like a sack of rice. She was unconscious. She was still in her nightgown and wasn't wearing anything on her feet.

Clenching my teeth, I threw the glass of wine which was on the table. 

"I swear I'll kill every last one of them!" I shouted.

Kyle and Emily came rushing in the bedroom.

"What happened?" Kyle asked, frowning.

"He took her! That son of a bitch took my wife! I swear I would kill him!" I yelled.

Emily began crying while Kyle kept his calm, hugging her.

"Calm down. Let's go to the office. Order your men to search the palace, interrogate any suspicious personnel and stuff. Guard all the gates and don't let anyone out." Kyle ordered.

I nodded and looked at my men, "You heard him."

They nodded and ran outside.

I was walking back and forth inside Kyle's office. Luke and the others just landed at the airport and we're waiting for them.

"Can you stop doing that?" Kyle rant.

"I can't calm down! If Emily was taken, will you be able to calm down?" I asked, almost yelling.

He didn't say a word and just glared at me.

When Luke and the others arrived, I calmed down a bit. I showed them the diary, the interrogation of Marissa and the cctv footage, then we started planning.

One of my men came inside with a man whose hands were tied on his back.

"Sir, we found this guy lurking in the garden. He suddenly ran and tried to escape when we approached him." He said.

I looked at the guy and he was wearing the same hooded jacket from the man who took Peggy. I felt the rage inside and walked towards him.

He was wearing a mask so I grabbed him by the collar and took off his mask. I was surprised when I saw who it was. I know Kyle and Emily were the same.

"George? You're a spy?" Kyle asked with his cold eyes.

George smirked. He was different from the first time I met him at the festival. He was kind and gentle but now, he looks so different.

Then I remember how Peggy trusted him. He befriended Peggy so no one would suspect him. I couldn't control myself anymore and punched him in the face. He fell on the floor and I saw his bleeding face.

"Are you the one who took her? Where is she?" I asked, then grabbed him by the collar again.

He didn't answer. I was so mad that I didn't realize I had punched him over and over. My hands were bleeding, I don't know if it's from this guy's face or my own.
