Jayden POV
After a few months, Peggy didn't co back. I cursed her everyday for leaving . I swear I wouldn't look for her and always thought she would co back on her own. But I was wrong.
When I realized he wasn't coming back, I looked for her from dusk till dawn. She was on her seventh month now, so I was worried about the baby.
I asked Luke and all my friends to help look for her. But we couldn't find her. They said she might have used a different na or Missy was doing sothing so we won't find them. She was an agent and her bodyguard after all.
Five months after she disappeared, I was getting more and more depressed. I was lonely. I felt like my heart was being torn everyday when I think of her. It was supposed to be the month we've been waiting for. She would give birth this month and is due on the twelfth.
Where did she go? Is she and the baby alright? Did she ever think of ? Did she miss ? Questions that I have never got an answer to.
Another month passed and I was shocked to get news that Caleb, one of A.E's assets, found the place they lived in. It was a small apartnt in Paris.
I flew there to see if it was true, only to be disappointed that they already left. The place they stayed in wasn't that expensive but it was decent. I rented it for a few days just to stay there. I wanted to at least feel the places they've been to.
The first night I slept there, I was imagining they were with . I looked at the other side of the bed, and I saw Peggy, crying. I reached out my hand so I could touch her but she disappeared. Tears started to fall from my eyes. It was the first ti I cried after she left .
I found out that she worked as an assistant in a small clinic so I went there to ask about her.
A woman walked towards , looking at from head to toe.
"Mr.Jayden Richards?" She asked which surprised .
When I talked to her, she introduced herself as Dr.Candice Lane, she was Peggy's boss and her doctor. She said she knew because Peggy told her about . Then she handed a photo. I cried when I saw who was in it.
It was Peggy and a baby. It's a boy! He looks a lot like . Dr.Lane handed a birth certificate and I was so happy that Peggy wrote my na as the baby's father. I thought she wouldn't do that.
Caden Richards. That's the na of my son. I'm a father! I wanted to jump from joy and the more reason I wanted to find them.
"She loves you. But she has a reason why she left." Dr.Lane said.
I frowned. "Did she tell you what it was?" I asked.
I know she knew about it but she didn't tell .
"You should look for the answer yourself. She was suffering just like you. I admire her. She's a strong woman." She said.
I stayed a few more days in Paris, checking on the possible places she've been to. I wanted to see the world she had seen at least.
When I ca back, I investigated what happened before she left. The last person she talked to was her foster father. I ca to see him but he was on a business trip so I waited.
After a year of waiting, soone called and told Peggy and Caden were in Hong Kong. So I went there again, only to be disappointed that they already left. I rented the place again and stayed for a few days.
I looked around and found Caden's room. I laid on his small bed and imagined he was beside . He was around one year old by now. I frowned when I felt sothing under the bed. It was a piece of paper tucked inside.
I looked at it and I cried when I saw what it was. It's a drawing. I knew it was Caden's. He drew his mom, him and . I was so happy. Peggy was probably telling stories about .
Every place they've been to, I ca late and stayed there for a few days. And every ti I stayed, I would find a piece of paper. A drawing of our family by Caden. I compiled and kept every drawing I found. I felt like Caden knew that I was looking for them.
I received a phone call from Owen, my bodyguard, that Benjamin Miller ca back from his travels so I went to see him.
I asked him about the last ti he talked to Peggy. He didn't answer but handed so files instead. I frowned but took it and started looking at them.
I felt like my whole world crumbled and my heart was ripped out from my chest. The mory of my mother's death ca back to , those n who raped her over and over while I watched them savage her and slit her throat. My visions suddenly beca blurry and I felt the rage grew inside .
The reason Peggy left was the possibility that her father, Matthew Forelli, was involved in my mother's death. I was devastated. I felt like I was going crazy. My head and my heart were in conflict and were saying different things.
That was the first ti I questioned everything. I questioned my mother, why did she have to die? I questioned my father, why did he have to fall in love with mom? I questioned them both, why did they run away, knowing that mom was already engaged to Peggy's father? Why did I have to et Peggy. Why didn't she tell ? Why didn't she trust ? Why did she doubt my love for her?
After that, I beca a different person. I started hating her for lying to . I hated her for not trusting . I hated her for taking my son away from . I hated her for being a Forelli.
