"Hey Jada. Your phone's ringing." Jayden says softly into my ear. I sit straight and pick up my phone. It's Isabella Kings.
"Hey, Amelia and I are going shopping tomorrow wanna join?" She asks immediately when I receive the call. My anger flares when I hear Amelia's name.
Her family made me like this. A monster. I don't even understand why the Kings would forbid me from going after her and her sister, Bianca. They destroyed my life.
"Jada? Are you there?" Isabella asks my eyes dart to Jayden who's watching me and I look away.
"Yeah, I can't come with you. I have things to do tomorrow." I answer tightly gripping my phone.
"Okay. We're going to look for dresses.
For the mission." She says and I nod and say a bye. I'm not in the frame of mind to talk. My hand continues gripping the phone tightly.
"Hey, it's okay." Jayden says. I didn't even notice he's moved closer to me. He takes the phone from my hand and leads me to the seat that we once occupied.
"Why are you acting this way?" I ask as he seats beside me.
"How am I acting?" He asks.
"Like you care. I know you don't so let me do you a favor and tell you that I'm fine. You don't have to pretend anymore."
I say looking ahead.
"Jada look at me." He says but I don't.
"Just say what you want."
"Sometimes I forget how stubborn you are." He says as he moves in front of me. He leans until we're at the same eye level.
"I'm not pretending. You're hurting and I can clearly see that. I want to be here for you." He says and I scoff. "You are not a monster as you call yourself.
Those people that hurt you are the monsters because they made you like this." He says and I stand.
"If this is about the sex.. " I start.
"You think sex made me like this towards you?"
Jayden asks letting out an unamused laugh in disbelief. "I'm doing this because we're friends. I can clearly see your pain and h..."
"And that's the problem. I don't need your pity. I don't anyone's help.
And I don't need a friend. I've always been perfectly fine the way I was before you came." I say and Jayden nods.
"I know, you were doing fine but I'm here now." He says and I start laughing.
"Next you'll take me to church so that I can confess my sins and start a new life away from here?" Jayden looks at me puzzled and let out a breath.
"You were to stay here until you found your own place. Did you find one?" I ask and Jayden looks away.
"Yeah. I did. The old man beside you died yesterday night and his son came when I was leaving and talked about selling the place. I'll buy it." He says and I nod.
I need to get my life the way it was. I don't have to care about anyone else apart from Ryan who's safe in the orphanage until I complete my mission.
I need to concentrate on nothing else but the mission.
***************
With that dress, Harry won't take his eyes off you." Isabella tells Amelia who comes out of the bathroom with a red dress.
I turn away and pick up my blue dress that they picked for me. I went to the headquarters and tortured a man who was involved in children and women trafficking. He had taken a member's kid.
Doing this calmed me down enough to tolerate Amelia for the night.
"I need to talk to my mum." Isabella says showing us her ringing phone. I change into my dress of the night that looks good on me. It has a deep v neck showing a sneak of my cleavage.
I'm good with seduction and wearing such clothes has been a normally for me. The dress reaches an inch above my knees but has a slit on the back. Perfect to hide a gun and a few knives.
I get out of the bathroom and find Amelia using her phone. "Harry and the guys will be here in ten. You look pretty good." She says but I walk to my backpack and place my clothes in. "I don't know why you dislike me when we don't even know each other." She suddenly says making me stop. I turn to her.
"You don't know what you did?" I ask my voice harsh. "Go ask your dad.
Ask you're people. Ask them how they destroyed my family. How they took my newborn baby that I know nothing about. How they tortured me." I say my voice breaking.
"I'm so sorry Candice. My dad did shit to you and you have to understand I'm not him. You don't know what my sister and I had to go through.
At least you heard your baby cry, but do you know what they did to my sister? They killed the baby just because she couldn't get Sydney Kings to love her.
Don't blame me or my sister for what our sperm donor did to you. If I could change everything, I would but I can't and so I have to deal with it."
"You can't go around telling people my miseries Siz." A female voice comes from the door. "You didn't even start yours."
Amelia turns to Bianca in shock and walks to her. I clench my jaw as I grip on my jacket. Great! Just great!
"Candice Martins." Bianca moves into the room. I make sure not to look at her and so I walk to my bag and stuff my jacket in. "What my sister just said is true. And I'm sorry I was there but I never helped you." She says just as Isabella comes in.
"Ready?" She asks not noticing the tension in the room. "The guys are here. Hey, Candice you look so hot." She turns and sees Bianca and her smile falters.
"Bianca, you're here. Great." She says sarcastically and I smirk. Bianca doesn't say anything making me turn to her and I'm surprised to see that she's pregnant.
Her blonde hair is cut into a bob framing her face beautifully. If I didn't hate her, I'd admit she's beautiful.
I walk out of the house and I notice Isabella beside me. "Still not a fan of Bianca?" I ask and she let's out a long breath.
"How can I be? I almost lost my baby severally because of her." She says and I nod.
"Is she joining us?"
"I hope not." Isabella says. We stand for a few minutes as the two Italian sisters talk aside until a black car pulls up and a motorbike following it.
Sydney gets out and walks straight to Isabella and kisses her. Harry says hi to me and walks towards his wife.
I look at the last person who doesn't move but sits calmly on his bike.
"What is she doing here?" I hear Isabella whisper to her husband and he tells her that she came to see Amelia as her husband goes to a certain meeting.
Isabella starts complaining how he didn't tell her and so I move away and walk to Jayden who's busy on his phone.
"Hey." I say but he continues scrolling down his phone. He locks it a minute later before looking at me.
"I had to answer that." He says and I nod. "It's Octavio. The old man's son. I'll be signing everything tomorrow and I'll move out." He says but I only nod.
"Thanks." I say.
"What for? "
"For trying to be there for me. I understand your intentions and I really appreciate them but I prefer being alone."
"I understand what you're saying. I lost my brother and best friend too. You don't want to care for anyone else.
I'm fine with that." He says. He really does understand.
"Let's get going now. We'll be late." Sydney announces and I climb on Jayden's bike.
"I'll get going. I'll be leaving for Venice tomorrow morning." Bianca announces.
Amelia wishes her a safe travel before we leave.
I guess everyone has a slight dislike for her apart from Amelia and Jayden since he's had no encounters with her.
