Chapter 17 – Austin’s disappearance
Amanda Reyes
POV
I woke up the next morning. I looked around the room it had its own bathroom and closet with clothes for me to wear since I didn't bring anything. She's just showing off her wealth. Money she got from her father. I don't believe the princess worked a day in her life everything was given to her by daddy dearest.
I showered and got ready for the day. I looked at my phone and saw a missed call from Amber. I called her back.
“Hello?” She answered
“Hey I saw you called” I said
“Yeah. I wanted to know if you could get a picture of Aaron while he is sleeping” Amber asks
“I can’t get into his room Amber he is on the other side of this mansion” I say
Aaron choice the room on the furthest side of this huge ass house.
“Just try or I won’t help you get rid of Aria and you can kiss your little crush goodbye” She says
“If I could I would help you but that’s not possible plus I think Agent Wilder is on to me, he has been watching me closely” I say
“Why would he be you haven’t done anything. Plus you want him to look at you anyway” She says
I roll my eyes “Not that way. I want him to love me” She says
“Then go and check his phone to see if he has looked into you or check his last phone calls there should me something in the to help you” she says
“Are you insane you want me to sneak into his room and get into his phone?” I ask her she was mentally ill if she thought her plan would work
“Just do as I say. Oh and just so, you know you need to get on Aria’s good side so we can have her schedule” Amber says
Well that’s a lot worse than breaking into Agent Wilders room. The woman hates my guts and she doesn’t even know me.
“I’ll check Wilder’s phone before he wakes up.” I say hanging up.
I take my shoes off and make my way to Wilder’s room. I watched as he said night to Aria and their little hug. I wanted to make sure they don’t sleep together.
I walk to his room. Slowly opening the door hoping it didn’t wake him. I walked in and noticed he was sleeping on top of the covers. He was only wearing a pair boxer briefs. It’s the first I’ve seen him like this. I look over at the bedside table and take his phone, I search for anything but nothing there’s no report about me or anything for that matter so I put his phone back and leave the room.
I run back to my room when I heard him moving in the room.
Dammit that was close. I leaned against my door holding my chest. I was almost caught out by him. I needed to get on Aria’s good side. Which means I need go and ask her about today’s schedule.
I put on a pair of shoes and walk to Aria’s room. I open the door.
“Ma’am…” I was cut off when I saw both Aria and Agent Wilder naked and he was feeling her up.
He was covering her with his body.
“What the bloody hell are you doing here?!” Agent Wilder roars
“Have you never heard of knocking?!” Aria shouts angrily
I was so glad I stopped them from doing anything. I didn’t need her getting pregnant and trapping the man I loved with a child. She was a class A b***h and I wasn’t going to let her steal what’s rightfully mine. I’m going to kill her and have Agent Wilder all to myself and no woman would steal him away from me. I look around the room the bedroom looked like it belonged in a palace. Everything was had fur, the rug by the bed, the blanket on the unmade bed, her night gown hanging on the bathroom door.
I clear my throat. “I’m sorry ma’am I was just wondering if I could get your schedule so I could you know protect you” I say
“Get out!” he roars
Out of instinct I retreated. I closed the door behind me. I really wanted to kill her even more now. I’m going to torture her to death
I heard someone clear their throat I looked and I saw Aaron Jacobs. The maids in this house referred to him as Young Master.
“Y-Yo-Young M-Master Jacobs” I stuttered out.
“Aaahh the help finally learned some manners did she?” He asked sarcastically
“….” I stood there mouth agape this guy was something else
“You going to tell me what you’re doing outside my sisters room?” He asks
I shake my head. “Agent Wilder asked me to protect Miss Jacobs for a while so I wanted to know if she’s going to the office today” I say respectfully
I knew better than to make an enemy of Aaron Jacobs. He might see all sweet and relaxed but he was a monster when he was offended.
“Damn Tristan really wants to kill my sister by having a woman who wants her dead protecting her. i don’t know what your deal is, but I promise you if you so much as touch a hair on my sister’s head or anywhere else on her body for that matter Tristan’s going to be the least of your worries.” He says in a low and threatening tone of voice. His eyes narrowed at me.
I took a step back out of fear. I felt the door hit my back. He came forward.
“Oh and I promise you if you hurt Aria for whatever reason you want to hurt her. Tristan will want to kill you but I won’t let him because I have some special planned for you princess” He says smiling but it wasn’t a friendly smile it was a threatening smile. It scared me.
He steps back and walks off. I held my chest. I’ve never been that afraid in my life. I can’t believe he had that much power over me. Why the hell would love someone like him? I asked myself
The next thing I know is I’m on the floor and looking up at Agent Wilder.
“Oh for all things damn holy why the hell are you standing outside Aria’s door?” He asks me
I don’t say anything but I get up. I notice he has pants on now. I start walking away. I embarrassed myself enough for today. one thing I know for sure I need to stay away from Aaron Jacobs and I need a new plan one that makes sure nothing leads back to me and everything leads back to Pennima.
“One thing Agent Reyes, you don’t need to worry about Miss Jacobs schedule. I have it no need for you to have it.” He says
I look back. I see Aria’s arms crossed she was smirking at me. She knew she had just won the battle. I nod at Agent Wilder and I walk back to the room assigned to me. I noticed that he didn’t trust me with her schedule. He definitely was suspecting me. I needed to get on his good side.
=============================
Aaron Jacobs
POV
We were all sitting at the dining table but it was eerie silent. It extremely uncomfortable being here right now.
I looked over at Tristan, he had stars in his looking at my sister. I looked over at Mary she sat beside me, she looked extremely uncomfortable. I looked at my sister and she wore a smug smile staring at the woman known as Amanda Reyes. Which reminds me I need to ask Craig my second special assistant to look into this woman. I didn’t trust her and the way Tristan looked at her last night he didn’t either, I need to know what his playing at.
I take my phone out and sending Craig a message to look into this woman.
I look at her my eyes narrowed. She was looking at the plate in front of her, her hands on the table they were clutched so tightly I saw he knuckles turning white.
“Mary you out did yourself this morning the food is amazing” Tristan says stuffing his face with bacon
I chuckled at him. “Really Mary this is amazing” I add to what he said kissing the side of her face.
We continued with the conversation, just Tristan and I. we were speaking about the past and how amazing our friendship was back then.
Something made me look at the Amanda woman. I noticed her aiming her phone directly at me. She was starting to annoy me.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing??” I ask her in a serious and oppressive tone.
Everyone was looking at me. And then when they saw I was looking at her they looked at her.
“You think I didn’t notice the little video or photos you’ve been taking of me?” I asked her
Aria got up first and grabbed the phone from her and looked at her phone, my sister then started going through her phone.
“Agent Reyes did you know taking pictures of any member of the Jacobs family without our knowledge while we were in our home is illegal?” Aria asks
It was, our family was extremely high profile so no one could take pictures of us in our homes due to security reasons. You could take pictures of us anywhere out in the public but not in our homes because of the fact the most of the things in our homes are military owned and the fact that My grandfather’s eldest brother was the president and not just that Aria works on a lot of high profile Military cases.
She looked alarmed. I almost laughed at her.
My phone rings. I see its Craig, I excuse myself and answer my phone.
“What do you have?” I ask
“Well she’s clean; she just came out of Quantico. She however did go to school with your ex-girlfriend and recently Special Agent Wilder and Agent Reyes worked on a case involving Miss Garcia and she’s supposed to be working with them” He says
“She went to school with Crazy Amber?” I ask
“Yes sir”
“How old did you say she was?” I ask
“Agent Reyes is 25 years old” he says
“That’s impossible Amber is 29 years old” I say
“No sir she’s 24 years old” He says
I couldn’t believe my ears. She lied to me about her age. That would mean she wasn’t in college when we were together, did I have s*x with a minor?
“Sir?” he says bringing me back to my senses.
“Find out where Amber is right now!” I roar into the phone and I hang up.
I was so pissed off right now.
“What!!!!!!” I hear my sister scream
I run into the dining room she was on the phone.
“What do you mean his gone? How can my son just disappear?” She asks
She was in tears Tristan was trying to comfort her but it wasn’t helping.
I called Maria my first special Assistant to ask her to help with finding Austin. Austin most definitely got his flair for the dramatic from his father.
But finding him before he falls into the wrong hands was of the utmost importance.
