Jade quivered where she sat when she saw the way Cale was staring at her murderously. Blood was trickling down his cheeks from the damage she had created on his face. His body was shaking violently, as he stared at her with blood shot eyes.
“You who-re!” He roared as he slapped her for-cefully making her to fall back on the bed. He raised his hand to touch the side of the cheek which Jade had cut with a nail. When he saw the blood in his hands he riled up even more, he pounced on her and began to rip her shirt off.
“No!! Cale please, don’t do this. please stop” She begged as she struggled with him, but the angry man who had changed into a beast hit her head ha-rd against the wall rendering Jade unconscious, blood dripping from the side of her head.
“Shut up” He roared at her despite her being unconscious while he continued to take her shirt off.
“I’ll make you feel good, and you’ll wake up soon. You’ll forget all about him and want me again, I promise.” He said, as he began to plant kizzes all over her body down to her stomach while his hands tried to unbuckle her belt. His eyes glistened with p@$$ion as he saw her half na-kedbody, he wanted to take her, have his revenge on her and the same time make her his all over again. She belongs to him, just him and not that stupid guy who had tried to take his Jade.
He was about to take her trousers off when he heard a loud kick on the door, he turned around and he was shocked to see the door fall backward.
He je-rked off Jade’s body when he saw who walked into the room.
“You” He seethed, his hand clenching into a fist. It was the man who stole his woman from him. The man he wanted to kill.
How did he get here?
Jake stood at the entrance of the door, his eyes scanned around the room till they fell on Jade who was lying on the bed shirtless with just her br-a on. His eyes turned murderous and his blood boiled at the sight.
Cale was still trying to think how this man had gotten there when Jake lunged a death blow at him, sprawling him to the ground.
He had not expected that and the punch was so ha-rd he practically saw stars, blood spilled out of his mouth. Cale was about to stand up to his feet when Jake pounced on him landing several blows on him from all sides. He picked him up with his collar and pressed him against the wall landing even more blows on his stomach, he grabbed his head and hit it on the wall, and he did that several times till blood started dripping out of his head. Jake couldn’t stop himself.
“I’m going to fu-cking kill you!” He roared lividly.
This idiot had tou-ched his girl. How dare he? The image of Jade lying behind him with no shirt on was all that he could see in his head.
“You bastard!” Jake hit his head on the wall again before dealing him another blow.
Phil and the guys soon rushed into the place and they met Jake in a crazy state. They had hurried after him at full speed because this man was driving like a lunatic, and now he has lost all reasoning.
Phil and Rick rushed to his side and tried to pull him off the half dead guy he was beating to death, “Jake you’re going to kill him”
“Jake stop” They said simultaneously as they tried to drag him off but the guy was damn too lost in his angry state to hear a word. He was too strong whenever he was in this state. This was the side of him that had made them to never provoke him. It’s always as if he gains supernatural strength whenever he goes berserk.
“Leave me alone. I’m going to fu-cking kill him” Jake roared. This idiot had broken his girl’s heart and he had the nerve to do this to her? He was surely going to kill him with his two ba-re hand.
“Jake she’s bleeding”
That was all that got Jake stiffened, not just him but Phil and Rick as well. Jake let go of Cale causing him to fall to the ground before hurrying to the bed. He picked her up and he saw the blood which had soaked the pa-rt of the bed she was lying on.
“Ba..be” He called in a scared and shaky voice but she wasn’t responding. Jake felt his heart leave him. His whole body began to quiver.
“Baby please stop, don’t do this” He begged in a shaky voice as he tried to shake her up.
Dan took off his jacket and covered her exp-osed che-st.
“Dude let’s take her to the hospital” He told him, while Jake nodded his head as he immediately scooped her up into his arms, striding out of the room in hurried steps, he was practically running with her.
“I’ll call the cops and an ambulance for him” Mike offered.
“We’ll go with him” Rick said dragging Phil who had turned murderous when he saw the state of their friend’s girlfriend.
“Come on dude let’s go” Rick urged him.
**********
Lair and Blake was still trying to make sense of the docu-ments displa-ying on the monitor when Lair’s phone chimed with the notification sound. He whipped his phone out of his pocket and he saw a MMS. It was a video, he frowned when he saw it was from a strange number.
He was reluctant in opening it, because he had received spam messages like this before, but something in him prompted him into opening it.
The moment he did, he received the biggest shock of his life.
In the video was Amy dressed in a wedding gown and with some red letters was written on it.
It said, “Micheal”
Her mouth was gagged and something was tied around her wa-ist like a bomb, her head was down almost as if she was sleeping, and she was standing at the edge of a what seemed like a cliff.
“Amy” He called out as his hand began to quiver. Blake who noticed something strange with him couldn’t help but look over.
Blake almost ran out of blood when he saw the video. Was that his girl? He asked himself.
Soon the phone chimed with a phone notification again but this time it was a message. It read; Tell Mommy she’ll be married to Micheal even in death”
Lair tried to call the number back but all to no avail. It was switched off.
Blake asked for the number and tried to trace it, but nothing came throu-gh.
Lair tried to dial his father’s number but his call came in first.
“Dad”
“Come home now” The man ordered in a cold tone.
“Amy has been–”
“I know, just come home” He said before hanging up the call.
“I’ve got to go” Lair said as he jolted to his feet and rushed out of the office. Blake tried to call after him but Lair was in a haste to listen. He was running at full speed.
Blake tried Amy’s number but it was switched off, there was no use trying to trace it.
“fu-ck!!” Blake cussed as he kicked off the seat he had been seating. He raked his hand throu-ghhis hair p-ulling the root in frustration. What the hell was happening? How did this even happen? Who the hell was this Micheal guy? How come he has a death certificate and he was here alive?
He wasn’t sure if he was the one though, he really had no idea.
Was this why Jake had called him earlier? Did he know something?
Blake immediately dialed Jake’s number but he still didn’t pick the call. What was wrong with him today? He had never once ignored his call, so what was wrong? Jake’s attitude made him even more suspicious that he had an inkling on what was going on, and if he did he wasn’t going to be happy about it.
Blake traced his number and he got a location in no time. He was at the hospital.
Hospital?
Blake picked his car keys and rushed out of the company to meet up with Jake.
It was going to be a long night. And Amy had better be fine or else….
….
Jake kept pacing the hall way of the hospital after they wheeled Jade into the operating room. His whole body was quivering with fear and anger.
“fu-ck!” He cussed, hitting his hand against the wall repeatedly till blood seeped out of it.
Rick and Dan went to hold him but he brushed their hands off.
“Damn it! This is all my fault!” He blamed himself.
“No, it’s not your fault. You didn’t know something like this would happen. And you tried your best man” Dan tried to comfort, but Jake shook his head.
He didn’t believe that. He could have insisted on taking her. She was his woman and he couldn’t even protect her from a manic ex-boyfriend.
“What if…what if something happens to her?” Jake asked in a shaky voice. On their way to the hospital he had noticed how she bleed from several places. She was badly injured.
That was the girl that had just said yes to marrying him. He couldn’t live his life without her.
“I swear I’m going to kill them all!” Jake roared angrily.
Rick and Dan tried to pat him down, they could un-derstand how he was feeling at the moment.
“Be positive Jake, nothing’s going to happen to her. Just relax, every thing will be fine.” They comforted him. “And you have get your hand treated.” Rick told him but Jake shook his head.
“No.” This was nothing compared to what Jade had p@$$ed throu-gh. He wasn’t going to leave that sp-ot till she came out of there.
After several minutes Jake finally sat down at the waiting area close to the operating room. He buried his face in his palm as he tried to calm himself. But no matter how he tried he couldn’t.
A lot was happening tonight and he didn’t like it.
There was still someone he had to find and that was Amy. She was probably still at the auditorium looking for Jade. He looked at Rick who was standing in front of him leaning his back on the wall.
“Have you heard from Marcus?” He asked in a tired voice.
“No, I’ll call him now” Rick replied and called Marcus immediately.
“Found her yet?” Rick asked.
“No. This place is so full like a refugee camp, finding her is like looking for a nee-dle in a haystack. Did all these people really come to see a guy who’s probably in make-up and isn’t half as handsome as I am?”
“I’ll tell Jake you haven’t seen her” Rick hissed before abruptly ending the call. ‘Clown’ He cussed in his mind.
He looked at Jake and heard him sigh. He knew he heard him already.
Jake raked his hand throu-ghhis hair in frustration. Why were all these happening today?
Just this morning they had been so happy. He had waken up to having Jade in his arms, they had shared breakfast today, she had even said yes to marrying him. So how the hell was she lying on a surgical table fighting for her life, and her friend probably worried as hell, searching for her in a auditorium full of people or worse something might have happened to her too. How did all these happen?
Jake turned to Rick again. There was only one way to get Amy too and that was the person who had invited them in the first place. He had remembered Jade gloating about getting a VIP ticket from Amy’s friend who was the artist for tonight.
“Rick get me the contact of the artist who’s hosting the concert” He ordered. That was the only way he could easily find Amy. He doesn’t care how that guy does it, maybe openly call her to stage, crash his concert, whatever he doesn’t care but all he wanted right now was to find her. For Jade and Blake’s sake he prays everything would be alright.
Rick was about to walk away when he saw Blake approaching with Mike. The look on Blake’s face told him there was some sort of trouble. He has known Blake long enough to un-derstand the look on his face. He shot Mike a questioning look but he shook his head indicating that he had no idea what was going on.
“What happened?” Blake asked in horror when he saw Jake covered in blood. Jake snapped his head up when he heard Blake’s voice.
“What are you doing here?” Jake asked.
“What am I doing here?” Blake scoffed with disbelief. “I’ve been calling you but you’ve been ignoring my call. I had to come find you because Amy has been kidnapped and she’s in danger–”
“She has been kidnapped too?” Jake asked in shock as he je-rked up to his feet. How
“What do you mean by too?” Blake asked him.
Jake closed his eyes for a minute before looking at him, “Because Jade was kidnapped too” He replied.
“What?” He looked at Jake in shock. “Is this sister-in-law’s blood?”
“Yes” He nodded.
“Christ!”
Jake and Blake was still talking when Marcus returned with his men.
“Jake I’m sorry we couldn’t find the Amy girl” He reported to Jake.
Blake looked at the men that had just said something, and then to Jake. Was he looking for Amy already? He furrowed his brow at Jake when he finally realized something.
“You knew didn’t you?” He asked with a de-ep frown.
“And I come here to find you covered in blood? Jake what’s happening, is this why you’ve been ignoring my call all night?” Blake snapped at him.

Blake drove at high speed his grip over the wheel ti-ghtened as he drove towards the Regent Center. He looked at his ringing phone and it was Jake calling. He hissed and tossed the phone to the p@$$enger seat. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to him.
What he did wasn’t fair at all. He knew what Amy meant to him, yet she was in danger and he hid it from him.
“So you knew didn’t you?” He asked Jake angrily.
“You knew she was in danger and you didn’t bother to tell me? Is this fair?” He asked even more angrily when Jake didn’t answer him.
“Blake he didn’t–” Blake raised his hand to stop Mike who was trying to explain on behalf of his brother.
“When you asked for Amy’s number didn’t you know they were both in danger?”
“I did” Jake lowly replied.
Blake scoffed, “You did and yet you did not tell me? You saved your woman and while mine has a bomb attached to her in God knows where? Tell me how is this fair?!” He snapped at his brother for the first time in his life.
“Blake–”
“Save the explanation it’s useless, I’m angry and I don’t want to talk to you. I hope sister-in-law gets well soon.” He said before walking away.
“Blake” Phil tried to go after him, he had misun-derstood things and he wanted to explain things to him.
“Let him be” Jake stopped Phil. He looked at Blake’s retreating back as he sat down back.
This was his fault. He messed up.
Blake dialled the number Ethan’s agency had sent him. He had earlier called the agency and had asked for his number but they had given him his manager’s number instead. He didn’t mind, this would do.
“Hello,” The man said from the other side of the phone.
“I want to speak to Ethan Hills,” Blake said dourly.
“I’m sorry but you can’t” The man on the other side of the phone also replied in a cold tone. He didn’t appreciate the tone in which the person over the phone was speaking to him.
“Tell him if he isn’t on the phone in the next five minutes, I’m going to dig up dirty secrets about him and his face will be on every screen in the country and I’ll put him on the search list for the remaining pa-rt of the year.” Blake threatened before abruptly ending the call. He increa-sed the speed of his car as he raced fas-ter to the auditorium. He was sure Ethan was going to call him, but that would be if the man truly had any dirty secret.
It wasn’t up to five minutes when Blake’s phone started ringing. It was the same number he had called earlier. Seems the dude really had some secrets to keep.
“Who the hell are you?” Ethan spoke rudely into the phone.
“Amy has been kidnapped and she’s in danger. I want access to the security footage of the auditorium, especially the area where she was seated”
Ethan froze when he had heard that. He recognized the voice of the person from the other side of the phone. He has really done it. But why would Amy be in danger? He had promised he wouldn’t hurt her right.
“Wait I’ll call you back,” Ethan said before abruptly ending the call.
He had to call him. He promised not to hurt her. Ethan dialled the number but after several rings, the man didn’t pick.
“Jesus!” He exclaimed. What has he done?
He quickly called Blake back, but before he Blake could speak up he said,
“I know who took her.”
