Chapter 7 Seven

"Mom" he called out to his mother who was currently packing stuffs into his backpack.

She stopped what she was doing and looked at her son while raising her eyebrows. An indication for him to continue.

"What do you think dad would do when he finds out that I am missing and you helped me" he had to ask. Sure, his dad had made his life miserable but, he still loved him. Even if it was only a little.

"Jayden" she called and let out a sigh while sitting on the bed "to be honest, I don't really know but,,,when we get there, we would figure it out. Wait...what am I saying?" She hit her head. "When I get there, I would know what to do. So, leave that to me ok?"

"Sure. If you say so mom" he paused a little before he asked again "mom, if I leave...and the company goes bankrupt. Uhmmm, how,,,how would you survive without any money since you are technically giving me your money" worry was written all over his face.

He loved this woman so much and what she was doing now...it only increased his love for her. Sure he had to be worried.

"You don't have to be worried about me honey. Sure, your father's company is going to go bankrupt and he is likely to become broke. But, trust me when I say this. I am loaded with my money. Your father never married me poor or have you forgotten that I run a really big boutique?"

She laughed at her son's worried face. It was nice to actually see some other emotion on his cold face of his.

He scratched his neck in embarrassment before replying. " I knew that."

"Yea,,you really did." She replied sartistically and rolled her eyes at him. She tossed him the bag she had been stuffing.

He caught it in record time before wearing it and without bothering to check what was inside.

"Ok, listen Jayden time for games are over. I want to go over the plan with you so listen." She said sternly while staring at him.

"I put some cash in these two wallets." She said handing him the wallets while he gave her a confused look.

"Why would I need two wallets?" He asked skeptically.

"Did I seriously raise a dummy?" She asked no one in particular. "I gave you two wallets so you could keep one in your bag. You are leaving the country and you don't know what might happen. So, keep one in your pocket and one in the bag. That way, if you get robbed you won't have to suffer."

"And why would I need to suffer? I have my cards with me?" He shrugged

She hit him in the head. "I really thought you had brains Jayden,,,I really did."

"Ouch, stop with the hitting would you?" He cried.

"I won't stop until that brain of yours functions in the proper way. How do you even think? Don't you know that your father could track you using your cards?" She asked quizzically.

"Uhmm, I never thought of that?" He replied innocently.

She put a hand over her face exhaling through her mouth to vent out her fustration. She was trying to help him but here he was being stupid.

"Be serious Jayden. We have less than minutes to execute this plan and once failed, there is nothing we can do about that." She demanded while getting serious

She handed him a new phone which she took out from her pants pocket. "Here, dispose your old sim and go register a new one and use this phone so your dad won't be able to track you. Take only the contacts you can trust. Do not and I repeat. Do not call anybody while you are still in this country. Not even Mark" she gave him a Stern look and he nodded.

"Do not go by plane, go by road and move from border to border. Your father would be too dumb to actually look for you up roads. He would only search the planes and trains. Move really far from here you here and make sure you save my number so I can call you for updates. Now we clear on the instructions?" She asked while he gave out a Curt nod.

Smack! "Did I ask you to nod? I asked you a question and I expect you to reply yes or no" she barked orders at him.

"Yes, I understand" tears were brimming at his eyes at his mother's harshness. "Did you really have to hit me?"

He asked when he was sure that he was far away from her.

"Of course I had to. This might be the last time I might ever do that. I don't know how long you would be gone so I need to enjoy this while it lasts" she sniffed.

Then it dawned on him. This might be the last time they would ever meet and who knows for how long they would be separated. He looked at his room and what they had some this morning began playing in his head.

This might be the last day he would ever laugh with his mom. He looked at his mom and found her staring at him.

He ran over to her and threw himself at her. They hugged for the first time in forever.

Tears began to pour out of their eyes. They were about to be seperated and it was all because of his dad's bizarre actions

She Pat him on the back. "There, I think that is enough. I need to go now. I would distract the guards long enough to pass you the keys to my car. You drive it down the road long enough to put distance between the house. You have to continue on foot so that your dad doesn't trace you."

He sniffed while sipping his tears. "Thanks mom, thanks for everything"

"Silly, we haven't even done anything and here you are thanking me. For what? First, we get you out of here then you thank me for saving your life"

She walked up to the door and was about to turn the door knob when she turned to speak. " Oh, lest I forget. When you want to get married, do not get married to a bitch it a prostitute. I would not accept that into my home and I mean it"

She turned all scary in a matter of seconds just to pass her message to him. With that, she left him.

She came out of the room with her head high and with pride. The guards hung their heads low as a sign of respect to her.

She walked into her room and grabbed her keys on the side table.

She ran downstairs and saw her husband with his so-called guests and scoffed.

She saw the bitch his father wanted his son to get married to. She had a dreamy look on her face. How pathetic.

She was so glad that she was helping her son escape. She couldn't wait to see the look on that plastic face of hers.

She walked quietly to the kitchen. She saw maids all working here and there being busy. Fakers.

She was sure they all did that when they saw her walk in. I mean what was there to be done so who were they trying to decieve?

She had no time for them and those nasty thoughts about them. She walked to the back door in the kitchen and unlocked it.

She walked outside and was surprised that her husband did not station a guard at the back.

'fucker' she thought. He was so sure that Jayden wouldn't escape that he forgot about me.

She walked up to her car and drive it to the back door to make it more easier for Jayden.

She walked back into the kitchen. These people need to leave in order for it to be easier for Jayden.

"Everybody stop what you are doing and get out of my kitchen. Now!"

The maids stopped what they were doing. Initially, they were shocked. Mrs Cole had never been so loud and commanding with them before. What changed?

Seeing the lewed and confused looks and their faces made her heart boil. Had she been so soft that even her maids could not even carry out her orders?

Apparently,,yes. The looks on their faces said it all.

Her face darken at the hard fact "last person to leave this place within the next ten seconds is fired and I would make sure that you never work elsewhere ever again, for the rest of your God damned lives" she cussed, she yelled and threatened.

This was not the meek woman they knew. They all rushed out of the kitchen some fell but quickly got back on their feets.

Perfect. Her plan was coming in to place. She was setting the stage. Now, time for distraction.

She walked through the living room heading for her son's room. She was making a head count of all the guards present.

Three in the living room. Adding the five upstairs, that would make a total of right. No big deal.

"I am so glad you could agree to my terms Mr Cole. You don't know what this means to my daughter. She had always lived your son and am sure that they would make a fine couple"

"Yes, yes, I agree. She is indeed beautiful and am sure that Jayden would be thrilled to see how beautiful you are." Mattew gushed.

And the girl in question blushed tremendously at her soon to be father-in-law's compliments.

She couldn't believe her ears. Her husband was telling them that Jayden was thrilled? She scoffed. Wait till he escapes and see how thrilled he is.

He sold out his son and here he was buttering up another man's daughter. How ironic.

"Mr Cole" the lawyer called while arranging some documents on the table. "Since Miss Natasha is here, I think you should invite Mr Jayson so we could get this over with" the lawyer suggested and the others present all nod in agreement.

Oh, no. She needs to act now. She ran up the stairs. The guards gave her a weird look.

"Come, quickly" she called almost out of breath. She ran up the stairs really fast not even minding her age and weight.

The guards became startled when seeing her like that. They all rushed towards her quickly.

"What's wrong ma'am? What happened?" One of the guards asked.

"There is a commotion going on downstairs. I don't know what happened but I think that Mr Richard and your boss had a misagrement and now the guards are attacking him outside. You have to go help him"

They all left their positions and ran like crazy down the stairs. Perfect.

She opened the door and signaled Jayden to run. They ran down the stairs and into the living room.

Due to the guards all rushing out if the house in a hurry, those downstairs were startled and ran outside too. They were confused.

Why were the guards running downstairs like Maniacs?

"What happened? Why are you downstairs and why did you run out like that?" Mr Cole asked the bodyguards.

The bodyguards were all confused. There was no commotion and here was Mr Cole standing here in his glory.

One of the guards spoke up "Mrs Cole said that there was a commotion and that you were in trouble and needed help so we ran down to help"

"Shit" he cussed. He had been so dumb. His wife, how could he have forgotten to monitor his wife?

He ran inside the house like a mad man. They too rushed inside but it was too late. Seconds later, they heard the sound of an engine reeving and tires scratching outside.

They looked outside and saw a shiny red BMW driving out the front gate with Jayden driving it.

"Shit, guards get him. Now! Don't let him escape" he growled at the guards and they all scrambled. Each hopping in a vehicle trying to chase the ongoing vehicle.

"Damn you Matilda" he cussed.
