Kayden’s POV
I was still working on issues that needed urgent attention and indeed a whole lot of issues needed urgent attention, a whole lot of things had gone a big wrong while I was not around and some other things were just not satisfactory enough for me.
I was still reviewing the contract papers that were going to be signed the next day when my phone beeped with a message. Usually, I would not have checked the message because I did not usually do so when working, I considered it more like a distraction but there was something about it that propelled me to pick my phone up and check the message after all it would take less than a minute to do so.
I picked up my phone accordingly and checked the message, my eye brows furrowed for a moment and Jay did a loud growl inside of me.
It was a picture of Mantha walking into a room with James and from what I could see it was the hotel where we had lodged before we came back home.
The message was sent with the caption, ‘do you really still trust Samantha so much?’
I tried to calm myself down but I was unable to.
“What the heck was she going to do in there?!” Jay yelled, ruining my attempts to calm down the more.
I checked the contact that had sent me the picture, it was an unknown contact and that was where I was being sceptical.
“Who was this person who sent this to me? What is the person going to gain in ruining things for Samantha and I?” I asked Jay.
“Firstly! What was our very own mate going to do with James?! I am so ripping that bastard’s head off!”
I got up from my seat and paced around the length of my face, my head was getting hot and hotter by the second. I was upset and annoyed, I could not even take a look at the document I was supposed to be working on.
“What are you still doing walking around here? Go meet James or you’d rather me take over right now?!” James asked, he was visibly very angry.
I picked my phone up and stared at the picture one more time, the picture had been taken with the date and time written just below. I took a look at the time and figured out that Mantha was in our room, with me few minutes later to that time.
Whatever she had gone to do in there, she definitely did not spend a whole lot of time doing so.
“It might have been just random talks, she has always been friends with James right from the start.” I said to Jay who seemed to calm down at my words that made a bit of sense anyways.
I did not really believe that Mantha could cheat on me but still yet I was going to ask her what she went to do in James room, that way I would be able to clear my mind off the suspicions and doubts this single picture has created but then…. What about the sender of this picture? What does he or she stands to gain in this? How was the person able to take pictures of Mantha and James? Who was this sender exactly.
I tried using the Truecaller app to figure out what the person was but it was to no avail.
“Seems like I would have to order for the services of a professional to find out the person behind this contact.” I mumbled to myself and picked up my phone to call someone I trusted could do the job very well.
He picked up at the third ring and his masculine voice sounded on the other side.
“Good day boss.”
“Good day, I have a job for you.”
“Humbly at your service boss.” he replied.
“I would send you a contact now, I need to know who operates that mobile number and where the operator of the mobile number is operating from, I trust you can do that?”
“Of course boss, that should be one of the easiest thing I have done in months.” he replied with confidence dripping in his time, something I liked in him.
“Great, I would send you the contact now and send you the money to begin with.”
“You are really the best client I have.” he said and I could guess that he was grinning at the other end of the line.
I ended the call and dropped my phone on the table. I tried to concentrate on more time on the document but it was useless, I could not, I was already distracted and my mind was quite disturbed.
And even more I had this strange feeling, that feeling that overshadows one when one is going to be in danger but then I had not been in danger for a very long time because I am danger myself.
“For me to feel this, it must be…”
“Mantha.” Jay completed my words and I jumped off my feet with quite a start.
I decided to call on mum to ask where Mantha was at the moment, thankfully mum picked her call as soon as my call had popped in.
“Hello mum.”
“Hey Son, how are you doing at work today? Hope you are….”
“I am fine and everything in fine.” I cut her off, I was not in the mood to answer millions of answers that had no relevance.
“Is Mantha there with you?”
“No, she is not. I have not seen her since the early hours of the morning, she left immediately after you left.” mum replied and I felt a part of my heart rip for a moment.
“What about James? Is he around?” I asked mum, jealousy taking over my mind once more as I wanted to be sure that she was not with James.
“James is around, he and Cassie have been together all day.” mum replied and I felt a bit of relief.
“Okay mum.” I mumbled and ended the call.
My mind wandered off for a moment, wondering where Mantha could be. The feeling I was getting was getting more and more creepier.
I was just about to mind link with her when she mind linked with me, I was going to talk first but she spoke to me first, in her voice was a bit of fear.
“Kayden, I am in danger, I am in the hands of some unknown men.” she said to me in a mind link.
“Wh… What happened to you? Where are you? Who is with you?” My voice came to her, I was already super worried right now.
I could hardly control my emotions.
What men dared to stop my own mate?!
“I am in the hands of people I do not know….. Davis, I trailed Davis to this place.” she replied me, her voice cracking as she groaned and growled.
I could tell that she was fighting on the other side.
“Calm down Mantha.” I said to her, trying my best to calm myself down as well.
“Mantha…. Mantha, are you there?” I asked but there was no reply or response.
Mantha, I swear I am coming for you!
