Chapter 11

Jacob's car stopped in front of a cabin which was located alone in a place far away from the city, a place where no one would hear your scream even if you are in danger.

Enzo alighted hurriedly and opened the door for Jacob who came out adjusting his suit

"So, this is where Jay is?" He asked, looking at the surroundings "Check if there's no one spying" he ordered the ones who had been guarding the cabin since the time Jay has been locked up in there.

"Don't worry about that young Master, no one is definitely going to come to an area like this to spy" Enzo assured but Jacob still had this feeling that said otherwise.

Now that he's back, there would be eyes everywhere, watching him.

The door was opened for him and entered with Enzo behind him as usual.

He was not surprised to see Jay tied to a wooden chair with chains and his face all covered with bruises. That somehow made Jacob feel sorry for him even though he didn't show it.

This is why he shouldn't have stolen the goods in the first place.

"Did he confess yet?" He asked the mafias who had been torturing him for the past few days

"No sir, he is still adamant" One who seems to be the superior and has been in charge, replied.

Jacob sighed, staring at the Jay with his hands in his pocket, thinking of what to do with him

"Alessandro is getting impatient, he wants his drugs delivered to him in the next two days" Enzo whispered to his ears.

Jacob smirked "two days? Father really has a thing for making deals with arrogant brats".

"What are we going to do, young master?" Enzo inquired

"Untie him"

All the mafias including Enzo himself turned to look at Jacob in awe but they had to do as he said when they notice the look on his face said he was serious.

The whole place was surrounded by mafias who had guns, Jay won't be stupid enough to run away unless he wants to die.

Once he was untied, he was brought to his knees before Jacob who kept staring at him cold-hearted

"In this world, there are some kind of people I hate" Jacob squat in front of him "Those ones that make life difficult for me".

Jay who seems not to be intimidated at first, suddenly started to tremble in fear. 

Three years before he left, there were several rumours about how ruthless Jacob is when it comes to punishing someone for their sins, he is more worse than his father.

"Young master, I...I.." he stuttered in fear.

A little devilish grin appeared on Jacob's face which made Enzo himself scared

It's been a while since he saw that look on him.

It was terrifying.

"I heard you've been selling the goods secretly" Jacob scoffed shallowly "Tell me where you hid the remaining, of course you would have to pay for the ones you've sold so far".

Jay kept shivering in fear, he was covered in cold sweat. His lips were moving but no words was coming out

Furiously, Jacob grabbed his neck with one palm and started to strangle him "Stop wasting my time, you MORON!" he yelled.

"Sir, I..." Jay was choking but he didn't dare fight against him "I will... tell you where I hid it" he said and this made Jacob release him. "It's in my girlfriend's house"

"Girlfriend?" Jacob arched his brow "Your wife and kids are so worried sick about you but it seems you have been spending a lot on your girlfriend"

Enzo moved closer to Jacob with his tab and showed him the picture and address of the girlfriend

"We found her sir. What should we do about him?" He asked, referring to Jay

"Keep him locked up until we find the goods" Jacob ordered and sighed "I wish I could blow your head right now"

Following Jacob's words was the sound of a gunshot and before they could blink an eye, Jay was laying on the floor, holding his left shoulder and yelling in pain.

Someone just shot him.

Jacob was not surprised to see Mason jumped over the window and started to laugh maniacally like he had done something fun

"Are you kidding me?" Jacob frowned with his fist clenched.

Enzo immediately ordered Jay to be taken to the hospital and taken care of.

"What is it you want? Why are you even here?!" Jacob yelled at him "Are you trying to screw me over?"

Mason's laugh became more loud after hearing the last question

That was something obvious, he does not even need to ask.

He suddenly stopped laughing and took some steps closer to Jacob, but not too close.

"Why do you look so annoyed, brother? You said it yourself, you said you wished you could blow off his head" he chuckled.

Furiously, Jacob grabbed a gun from one of the mafias behind him and pointed it at Mason, trying so hard not to pull the trigger

"You came back stronger Jacob" Mason scoffed, proving not to be intimidated by the gun pointed at him

He knows Jacob won't shot anyways.

"I remember those times you could not even hold a gun because you were scared"

"Well now I'm no more scared of guns and right now, I am trying so hard not to blow off your head" Jacob gnashed his teeth "You really want me to fail, don't you?"

Mason had a sneered look on "Why do you keep asking obvious questions"

Jacob lowered the gun and took a deep breath "You don't seems to know much about me Mason. Once I set my mind on something, it will surely succeed and not even someone like you will be able to stop me"

"Really?" Mason grinned "Didn't you set your mind on protecting your mother? But what happens to her at the end?" He asked rhetorically "She failed".

"Son of a bitch!" Enzo got in his protective mode as he tried walking close to Mason like am hungry looking line but Jacob stopped him before he could do anything

"Just let him be, you should not waste your energy on someone so insignificant like him, save it" 

Mason tilted his head to a side and let out a scoff again "I don't think you are in the right position to call me insignificant, you..."

"Jesus! You talk too much" Jacob cut him off right away and check on his designer wristwatch "I have no time to be chitchatting with you right now, excuse me" he said and walked out, refusing to listen to any gibberish Mason would want to spit again.

"Why didn't you just put him in his place? He has no right to talk to you like that" Enzo face was wrinkled together as he opened the door of the car for Jacob

"Just let him be" Jacob said softly.

Even though Jacob seem expressionless at that moment, Enzo could see right through him that he was hurt. Probably because Mason mentioned his mother.

The fact that he used his mother knowing fully well it would pierce him in the heart was so unreasonable.

Once they were back in the mansion, Jacob alighted from the car and went straight to his room, ignoring all the workers who bowed their heads to welcome him.

Amber was just coming out of her room when saw Jacob entered his room and slamming the door right behind him, she knew immediately that something was wrong.

She walked down the spiral staircase and went straight to Enzo who was also sulking.

"Can we talk privately?" She requested and Enzo ordered all the Workers to leave them for a while.

Once they were all gone, Enzo furrowed his brow and darted his eyes to another direction, avoiding eye contact with her

"Before we start this conversation, I want you to know that I don't like you" he said bluntly "You maltreated my young master for three years"

"I don't like you either" Amber decided to come clean too "You held my brother and cousin hostage and made my mother cry"

Enzo scoffed in disbelief "You hate me for such a cheap reason, I only did that because they deserved it"

"Anyways.." Amber sighed "the hatred between us may be mutual but we do have something in common"

"And what is that?" Enzo raised a brow

"Jacob. We both want to help and protect Jacob in all ways" 

Enzo folded his arms and narrowed his eyes at her "it's true I want to protect my young master, but I don't know about you. Do you even love him?"

"Yes" Amber replied confidently "Why won't I love him? Jacob is my husband"

Enzo threw his head back and found himself cringing "You didn't have to be so honest" he murmured.

*****

Amber knocked on the door to his room but when she noticed he was not replying, she slowly twisted the knob and entered the room.

He was laying on his bed, covering his whole body with the blanket.

"Jacob" she called

He removed the blanket and looked at her "I am sorry Amber, I want to be alone for now"

Amber felt her heart melt as she stared at his puffed eyes, he looks like he has been crying for a while

"Jacob, you can't be here crying under your blanket. Mason only said those words to provoke you, he knows he is no match for you which is why he said those words to lower your self esteem" Amber said, hoping that would calm him down but Jacob aggressively removed the blanket from his face and sat up

"I told you to let me be, why won't you just GET LOST!" he yelled at her.
