My Evil Boy Toy

I was pacing back and forth in our bedroom. It's almost one in the morning and Jayden hasn't arrived yet. Caden kept on asking about his father and it breaks my heart to see him sad like that.

Where the hell is he? Is he cheating on me? But we don't have any relationship so it wasn't really cheating. I couldn't call him my boyfriend or my fiance, he hasn't asked me anything about it.

I wanted to call him again but I was afraid that a woman would answer his phone again. I'm not sure if it's Amanda, but I was pissed. I haven't really had the time to know more about her when we were in high school. She was the one who approached Alora and suddenly got closer to her. She had a crush on Leon back then. I never imagined that she would be Jayden's support when I left.

I heard a few knocks so I walked to the door to see who it was. It was one of the maids.

"Miss Margaret, y-your ahm, t-there-"

I frowned.

"What is it?" I asked, annoyed.

"I-I think you should just come downstairs and see." She said.

She was stuttering and she couldn't look at me in the eye. What's happening? Somehow, I became anxious so I went downstairs to see what's going on.

I was shocked when I saw Jayden in the living room and she was with a woman. My heart started pounding as I descended from the stairs. Jayden seems drunk and half of his shirt was unbuttoned. He was sitting on the couch while whispering to the woman beside him. The woman who was wearing a black fitted mini dress was giggling when he leaned forward to her ear.

This hurts. It was painful to know that he has been dating a lot of women but seeing him with one was definitely heartbreaking.

When I got closer, the woman looked at me and she was surprised. And yes, it was Amanda. I don't think she knew that I'm back.

I thought she would back away when she saw me but she didn't. She was just staring at me. We were actually staring at each other when someone spoke behind me.

"Amanda, what happened?" It was Alora who just arrived with Luke.

I looked at Alora but she didn't look back at me. That hurts as well. Is she on Amanda's side now?

"Nothing Alora. We closed the deal with the Chan's so we went to celebrate. Jayden had a few drinks. He couldn't say no to the clients so he got drunk. He couldn't drive so I took him home." She said in a sweet voice.

I don't know but her voice is pissing me off. She was definitely the woman who answered Jayden's phone.

"I see. Thank you for bringing him home. Peggy will take it from here." Alora said in a cold voice.

"Ah sure. Peggy, I see that you're back now. Are you staying for good?" She asked. But I could sense some bitterness from her tone.

I can't be weak. I need to show her that Jayden is still mine and no woman could get him away from me. I looked at her eyes with my head high and answered.

"Yes. Me and Caden, Jayden's son. We will be staying for good. We're just waiting for Emily to finish with the house renovation, you know the one Jayden bought for me when he proposed. We'll be moving there with Jayden maybe after a month." I said and smiled at her. I gave her a villainous smile to annoy her.

But she wouldn't give up without a fight. Instead of being annoyed, she suddenly chuckled.

"Oh sorry. It was funny. Because Jayden told me earlier that he won't be moving with you. He said he's planning to buy the condo unit beside mine. He has been waiting for that unit for a long time." She suddenly said 

I felt like my heart and my pride as a woman had been shattered. How could he tell that to this woman? So he's planning to get closer to her? What about me and Caden? He would leave us in that house like my foster father did?

I wanted to cry but I couldn't show Amanda that I felt defeated. I admit she won this time, but I won't let her next time.

"I see. He's just joking. He couldn't even stand being away from me and his son. Anyway, thank you Amanda for assisting him. You're a very reliable secretary." I said it with sarcasm in my voice.

She smiled at me again. I know it was fake. She just couldn't talk back anymore because Alora was listening to us.

"If you say so. I'll take my leave then."

She was about to leave when suddenly Jayden held her hand. I felt like there was something in my throat. I couldn't explain the pain in my heart and I wanted to run outside and scream.

"Stay here. Don't leave." He said before he passed out on the chair.

Amanda looked at me as if waiting for me to answer, but I know she's mocking me.

"You heard him. Stay. You could take care of him tonight." I don't know how the hell I was able to say that. Did I just allow her to sleep with Jayden? What the fuck is wrong with me?

She didn't say a word. I know she knew where the guest rooms were and she wouldn't dare to use our bedroom. Two servants helped her take Jayden upstairs while I stood there just watching them walking away.

"Peggy." Alora called.

I turned to her and I couldn't take it anymore. I ran to her and hugged her tight. I wailed while she caressed my back.

"Why did you agree with that?" She asked.

"What do you want me to do? I would just make myself more pathetic if I insist that I have a right to argue over him. I already lost when I left him. I was just the mother to his son." I answered while crying.

I heard Alora sighed but didn't say another word. She just let me cry.

I couldn't stay in our bedroom so I decided to sleep with Caden. I laid down beside him and leaned my forehead closer to his face. Then I let myself cry silently so I won't wake him.
