I didn’t know why I was so worried, but I was. I called Mr Yusuf about four times, but his phone was switched off, which worried me even more. I searched through her contacts again, which had only five saved contacts –Diary, Asshole, Yusuf, Mr Rey and Mother, with a bunch of unsaved numbers.
I didn’t even know which one to call, I was just too worried and sick to my stomach. I just had a feeling something bad was going to happen. She killed all my brothers and if she still wanted to kill me –which I know she didn’t, then she should be here with me.
I preferred her beside me with a knife to my throat than her not being with me at all.
The only people I knew were ‘Mother’ and ‘Yusuf.’ The remaining three were unknown to me, and ‘Diary’ was particularly disturbing to me. A diary knew everything about a person, did that mean this person knew everything about her? I dialed it out of a pinch of curiosity and a load of jealousy.
“Hello,” a mild deep voice came on.
“Who is this?” I asked. I didn’t mean to sound so harsh, but I did and I didn’t regret it.
“Where is Jordan? And who are you?” He said and I boiled. This asshole, who was he to call her Jordan? She went by Alexis now.
“I am her boyfriend, Jayden,” I stated and just when I thought I couldn’t hate him more, he snickered.
“If I didn’t know better, I would have congratulated you both. How come you are still alive?” Ouch, he really knew everything about her, including the fact that she was an assassin and she wanted to kill me.
He must be that stupid best friend she mentioned. “My name is Chan by the way, Yoon Chan. How are you doing? No, the most important question is, why are you with her phone? And are you both really dating? Does that mean she forgave you?” He dropped a ton of questions. “I knew she would,” he muttered and Ialmostasked if he wanted her to forgive me, but I was still feeling petty.
“Stop acting like you know everything about her,” I barked at him and he laughed. He needed to stop doing that, it was making me feel like a fool.
“About her? Bro, I know almost everything about you too, I stalked your ass for four years. I know you only go to your office twice a month, which is laziness by the way. Anyway, that asshole who duped you of twenty million last year is now in Italy, in case you want Jordan to kill him for you. I know you bought a house in Florida and named it Flower. Oh I also know that your friend, John Anderson stalked Jordy and…”
“Wait a minute, you knew John stalked Jordan?” I asked, my brows furrowed. “Then why didn’t you tell her anything?”
“Because I wanted you to find her,” he said and I was taken aback. He wanted me to find her so he kept the secret from her all these years.
She would be very mad at him if she found out. It was like betraying her and I knew she wouldn’t handle that well, considering what her mom did.
“I pray that he gives me reasons to kill him when we meet,that’s what she said every time. Seeing you alive now, I guess you’ve been doing the opposite.” I tried to find any sign that he was mocking or teasing me, but I couldn’t. He had my back? Did he know everything that happened? Like everything?
“Now where is she?”
Where was she? Oh yeah, I called because I couldn’t find her. Jesus Christ, I couldn’t believe I aborted the mission due to jealousy. “I don’t know where she is, she’s been gone for thirteen hours now.”
“Gone where?”
“I don’t know, God damnit.”
“Are you kidding me? Did you originally call to ask me if I knew where she was? You asshole, what did you do to my best friend?”
“She’sMYbest friend,” I snapped at him and sighed. I should take it easy and anyway, I wasn’t her best friend anymore, I was her boyfriend. “Listen, I’m serious, I don’t know where she is. This is my phone with her SIM card in it because she broke hers. I just want to know where she can be.”
“Jayden, do you know that Jordan wanted to kill herself.” He asked in a low voice and there was silence as I tried to process what he said.
“What?” I gave up and asked what he meant.
“She was always telling me there were eight people on her list and you guys are seven, right? I know she planned to kill herself after killing you.” I ran my hand through my hair at the revelation. How could she even think of doing that? “And that was why I didn’t let her know someone trailed her, because I wanted you to find her first and I always prayed that you wouldn’t do anything to hurt her so she won’t have a reason to hurt you or herself.”
Did she go to do that? Did she go to hurt herself? She made sure Ariana and Kendal were safe with me so she could go to kill herself, right? But Mr Yusuf called her, did she leave to hurt herself after she finished with him?
“Are you anywhere near? Can we find her together? Please?”
“I’m in France right now, I don’t… Did you call Mr Yusuf? Or Mr Gideon?” He said with a heavy voice and I could tell he was worried too. I was starting to get more worried –if that was even possible at this point.
“I called Mr Yusuf, but it was switched off. I don’t think she has Mr Gideon’s number”
“Are you sure you don’t see any number saved as ‘Asshole’ on that phone? Or did she change it?” He muttered the last part to himself.
