Jayden was rescued very quickly. He coughed out some water before he could register where he was.
The icy sea water chilled him to the bones. As he trembled, he wondered how he got himself in this situation. This was obviously a fight between two underworld groups yet he had been dragged in.
The pain on his arm made him dizzier. He noticed that Marcus was much closer than before. Jayden held his breath. This was a man who enjoyed bullying him in school.
Now Marcus was part of a shady group, if he recognized Jayden his life will be over but it was too dark and Jayden had already been roughed up a bit before being thrown into the sea. Even his father would not recognize at this moment, so Marcus did not.
Marcus took one look at the man that had been rescued. He did not look too long before losing interest and turned to his men."Send him off to his father," he said and walked off, got into a black SUV and drove off.
Jayden sighed in relief. It was clear Marcus did not recognize him. The shame would have been hard to swallow.
Jayden was handed over to the Day Family security. He could hear them talking. From their words it was clear. His father had gotten in trouble with dangerous people and had agreed to sell him of to be bait.
The Day Family security that was usually arrogant lowered their hard as they saw the dangerous men off. Only afterwards did they look at him. "Master Day, we will transfer you to the hospital now," the leader said.
"Where is my father?" Jayden asked as anger seethed in him.
"He is at a conference," the leader answered before Jayden collapsed.
When he woke up, he found himself in the hospital. Jayden woke up to find he was in the hospital alone. A nurse busily attended to other patients around him. He sat up and looked around. It did not take him long to realize he had been left here and attended to. Anger brewed inside him. He handled his own discharge procedures and messaged a friend of his to find out where his father is. It did not take long for his friend to send him the location.
Jayden took a taxi over. According to his friend, his father was meeting with some investors at a private room in a restaurant.
Jayden marched in kicking away security and went straight for his father, picked up a plate and slammed at his head. His father, Gregory Day looked up from him wine to find a large plate descent on him. The plate broke and the two investors paused. The security hurried over to restrain Jayden.
"Jayden Stanley Day, have you lost your mind?" Gregory held his bleeding head and shouted.
In the next room, Marcus Night and his men had been watching Gregory's private meeting through their laptop. None of them expected Jayden's appearance. When Gregory screamed Jayden's name,
Marcus paused as his eyes darkened.
"The Day family sure is funny. A discarded son would be used a bait?" one of the men in the other rooms asked. He was enjoying the show so much, he was almost cheering.
"Jayden!" one of Marcus' men heard the girl's father call and sat up suddenly. He glanced at Marcus with a worried look. Three of them had gone to high school together.
They all knew Jayden.
All three of them were suddenly not so interested in the fight, but the man who threw a plate around. They all recognized that name from high school.
"Matt, did we not check the Day family?" Marcus asked and the others paused.
"We did Marcus. They do not have any Jayden Stanley Day in their family. I heard of a discarded son, but they called him Stan. Could it have been him?" one of them asked.
"He is really Jayden from high school," one of them asked and they all paused and looked back as though trying to get a better look at the man being restrained in the video.
"Didn't he up and vanish to avoid you? Could it be a coincidence?" Daniel asked and Matt threw him a look. They all knew Marcus and Jayden were like oil and water through our school. They had not thought much of it till Jayden dropped out and Marcus started looking for him, saying Jayden took something from him.
They always avoided talking about Jayden. Even though Marcus never said anything, they knew he did not like them talking about his past with Jayden yet this idiot mentioned their last.
"We will know when we check, right?" the other answered.
"Bring him here," Marcus ordered one of his men.
Jayden looked at his father coldly.
"I don't care if you become the president of the world in the future, if you ever make deals with me again, it better be to have me killed because the moment I walk out of there alive I will kill you or your sons and face the consequences," Jayden declared, flung the guards holding his arms off and walked away.
Jayden had not walked far when he was stopped by men in dark clothes. From their build, they did not look like ordinary security.
"Who are you?" he asked cautiously
"Our boss wants to see you," one of the men said.
"Well, tough luck," Jayden answered and tried to leave but they blocked his path.
"Mr. Day, you can either come quietly or not, but we are taking you to the boss. It is your choice how we do it," the man said and Jayden considered it. He had no choice. They were not giving him an option but to follow.
He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Well, lead the way," he said in surrender.
