My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 142 - 140 - Photo

I looked around to check if there's someone suspicious near us. My heart was beating so fast and pounding so loud. I'm worried about my friends. Father might hurt them.

A photo was included in the letter and it was taken just a few minutes ago. It was me and my friends, here in this restaurant.

Nina snatched the photo from my hand and was also shocked. Sophie looked at it and was also surprised to see what was in it.

"It was taken just now. From the angle of the picture, I think the one who took it was just sitting there." Sophie said while pointing at the table in the corner.

We looked at the direction where she was pointing. Alora held Sophie's finger and whispered.

"Don't!"

We gazed at her confused. There's obviously a person sitting on that table. I wanted to stand up and walk towards the other table but Alora was stopping us.

"Why? The person who took the photo was obviously still there!" I exclaimed.

"Are you trying to get us in trouble? Why do you think he took a photo of us?" Alora asked.

"Because they wanted us to get scared and probably attack first?" Nina answered.

"Exactly! It's a trap. If you go there, they can take you again or one of us. They wanted to separate us." Alora explained.

She has a point. If I leave them and go alone, my father's men could take me. If my friends see that I was being taken, they will not sit quietly.

"What should we do?" I asked.

"We can't go out of the restaurant. Contact the boys. I already sent a signal to our security team. They're on stand by." Alora answered.

She was still poised and her face didn't show any fear or anxiousness. As if nothing is happening.

I immediately picked up my phone to send a message to Jayden.

'We're being followed! Make sure Caden is safe before coming here.' Sent.

Beep. 'Be casual. Pretend you are not bothered by anything. I'm on my way to Caden. Stay where you are, love. Wait for me.'

I felt like it was the longest time I waited for Jayden. He was sending me his location to give me an update. I was trying to be calm but my heart was beating like a drum.

Alora and Sophie were talking to each other casually. Nina was also calm and was just listening to the two. I tried to relax like them but I was still anxious. My hands were shaking and I couldn't even hold the cup of coffee.

Sophie suddenly held my hand. I looked at her and she was smiling. She has different eye colors, one blue and the other is green. Her long blonde wavy hair added to her doll-like features. She was still the same girl when I left three years ago, calm and quiet.

I nodded in response to her reaction. I know she was just trying to calm me down and she actually did it.

After half an hour, we saw the boys walking towards the restaurant. A lot of women were looking at them including the women inside the restaurant.

"Is that Luke Wilson?" One girl asked.

"Yes! And the one on the right is Jayden Richards, on the left is Andrew Cross and the one at the back is Percy Jackson." The other girl answered.

They were just sitting across us so we could actually hear their conversation. I know o

ne girl has a crush on Jayden. Maybe if I was still the same old Peggy, I would rush into the girl's table and argue with them but now I'm proud because Jayden belongs to me.

I wanted to laugh at myself. We were in trouble and that's what I'm thinking right now? Really, Peggy.

Jayden's face was dark. I was staring at him the whole time he was walking towards me. I was actually thinking if that was my husband. When he was a few steps closer, I felt a different aura from him but it disappeared all of a sudden.

He bent down and kissed me on the cheek. It was him. But I know the one I noticed earlier wasn't because his eyes were different.

The boys sat down on our table, took the letter and the photo from us. Jayden and Luke turned their attention to the table at the corner. They glanced at each other and stood up.

"Are you sure about this?" Alora asked while holding her husband's hand to stop him.

"I don't think they can do something right now." Jayden was the one who answered, looking around the area.

We noticed there were a lot of A.E's men surrounding the restaurant. I felt relieved and calmed down a little.

Alora nodded and let go of Luke's hand. Jayden glanced at me and smiled as if saying everything's okay. I bit my lips and nodded in agreement.

He touched my chin before walking towards the table in the corner. Luke followed while Andrew and Percy stayed with us.

I was holding my breath while I watched Jayden getting closer to the enemy. I suddenly wanted to run to him and stop him. I felt like something bad was going to happen.

Only a few steps away when six men surrounded Jayden and Luke, I wanted to panic when I saw one of them hand a gun to Jayden then to Luke. My heart started to pound faster and louder again, as if it was going to burst out of my chest.

The restaurant was almost full and the people hadn't noticed that something was going on. I saw Eugene, the head of Luke's security team, approached the manager. I know he was telling him about the situation.

I didn't know how it happened but the people actually went out of the restaurant quietly including the staff. We were the only one who was left inside.

I turned my gaze again to Jayden who was already at the back of the person who took the photo.

"You came. All according to plan." The man said.

I felt the chills and goosebumps at the back of my neck. That voice. I knew who it belonged to.. It was from the man who took me from my room in the palace.
