章節 52: Jennifer disappeared

Once they received a signal, the team waiting near the island was notified and sent a yacht to pick her up. Jennifer and Nyx climbed onto that boat and were brought to a remote island just a few hours away from Mike's island. From there they climbed on to the private jet of her own.

Once they were inside the jet, Nyx couldn't control her curiosity and asked,

"Boss, you left your friend on that island with my previous bosses. Don't you think they might blackmail you by holding her as a hostage?"

"You are too late to realize that now! Anyways all those had happened already two months ago and there is nothing to worry about her. She can hide well when she senses any danger. Moreover, with her current relationship with Aiden, I don't think I have to worry about her."

Jennifer replied calmly and closed her eyes to sleep. "I am going to sleep for a few hours until we reach our destination. Feel free to explore and do whatever you want."

Nyx stared at Jennifer with adoration flowing from her eyes. If only Jayden was here, he would have dug out her eyes for looking at his wife so much intimacy.

When Aiden came out of his room and analyzed the situation he was dumbstruck. His brother was lying down and whatever he did, Jayden just would not wake up.

"Boss, Madam said he would wake up in a few hours or maybe … in two days..." Rogue said hesitatingly.

"Where is she?" Aiden roared.

"Madam left long back. Even Nyx followed her and left us…" Rogue just wanted to hide somewhere.

How could a member of his team be so unfaithful? She just left without even saying good-bye to them. Such an ungrateful kid, and to save her, he used to get into trouble multiple times. He decided to show no mercy to any of his teammates from now on.

When Rogue stared at his teammates, they felt goosebumps. Their life is going to be hard from now on because of that jinx, Nyx. Aiden went out in anger from Jayden's bedroom.

"Sweety, what happened?" Elina asked, coiling her hands around his hand.

"Honey looks like your friend ran away…"

"What? She left me here all alone and went back by herself?"

"You feel lonely here? You don't like to be with me?" Aiden asked while removing her hands from his hand.

"Darling, what are you saying? I would stay with you even after I die. How could you even talk like this? Don't you know how much I like you already? Do I have to say it out loud? If you really want me to say, then..." She leaned her body towards him and kissed him on his lips shamelessly.

Aiden kissed her back and moved towards their room once again to continue where they left earlier. Mike, who watched this in horror, lost his grip on the teacup and it hit the floor. Looking at his favorite teacup being smashed into pieces., his heart ached.

His kids had really grown up now! One of them is already married and another, maybe he could expect a grandson or granddaughter soon… He should call his father and tell him about this good news. He would be over the sky if he knows that.

"Hello, dad! I have good news! No, maybe two good news" Mike shouted on the phone.

"What is it? You can lower your voice down a little bit. I have not become deaf yet..." Frank barked from the other end.

"... My second son got married… and…" Before he could finish, Frank spoke.

"I know! I am with his grandfather-in-law, fishing. This is very old news. I know it like two months ago and did he just tell you about this now. What a pity..."

"So, what? I have one more good news about my first son… You would have definitely not heard about this from anywhere…"

"Is it about Aiden and Elina? Ooops… I know about them too… When last time Dexter went to save Jennifer, he saw them both together in Aiden's bedroom and the chemistry between them was a little… But youngsters these days are really too fast… we elders need to be a little bit understandable. So just give them enough space and stop roaming around your house freely…"

"How did you know about that?" Mike asked with astonishment, how did his father know that he saw Aiden and Elina kissing?

"What do you mean, how did I know? Did you not hear me clearly? It looks like you are becoming deaf a little sooner than expected. Did you not listen to the part where I said Dexter saw them in a bedroom…"

"Fine! Since you know about these already, I am disconnecting this call…" Before his father could ask about how his work was going, he thought to hang up the call.

"Wait! What happened to your recent book? Did you sell any? I heard from your editor that it was not doing well once again…"

"Hello… Hello… dad… dad… I cannot hear you… there is some signal problem…"

"Stop your drama, You are calling me from a landline… Why do you need a signal for that?"

Mike just hung up the call and ran away as if he was being chased by his father with his gun. It was still clear in his memory how his father removed his belt and smashed him after hearing that he wanted to become a writer as he failed his first mission miserably. He even expressed that he was not suited for being his heir as it was not what he wanted to do!

Jayden woke up the next day, with a heavy headache. He had warned Jennifer to stop using that spray but she never listens to her. He got down from his bed and walked out of his room.

"Hey Mike, can I have a cup of your herbal tea?"

"Sure" Mike moved towards the kitchen to prepare it.

"Where is Aiden?" Searching his eyes around looking for Jennifer, he asked.

"Aiden and Elina went out to do some scuba diving and other fun-filling activities in the ocean. But if you are really searching for Jennifer, and wanted to ask about her, she is not here. She left long ago after making you faint and creating a huge drama… I even heard that she took Nyx along with her."

"She is not here? Where did she go?"

"She did not tell me and to be blunt she did not say anything to anyone in this house."

"Looks like she came here with a plan and left without even saying goodbye to me," Mike felt hurt; even though he knows that Jennifer is slightly different and difficult to get along with.

Still, she is his daughter-in-law and he had a few expectations for her to fulfill. At least for the herbal tea, he made for her… Oh! Forget about that... She hated my herbal tea...After thinking about that, he got sad and put salt into Jayden's cup instead of sugar by mistake.

"Here, your tea!" Mike gave it to him but Jayden was busy trying to reach Jennifer through his phone.

She did not pick up the call at first and then later it went to voicemail. After a few tries, it said the phone was shut down and to try again later.

With frustration, he got up and left that place. Mike saw his herbal tea was left alone once again and his heart hurt.

"Fine, if you don't want to drink it then I will…She has changed you a lot. I am warning you! He is not my son anymore…He is changed...definitely changed..." He took it and sipped the tea angrily but the next minute he spits it out! Definitely no one will like this tea!!! Definitely not!
