When You Are Mine - Chapter 295

Jake jumped out of his car the moment he arrived the club. He saw Phil and the guys standing outside the entrance with their phones pressed against their ears obviously trying to make calls. He had an ominous feeling in his heart when he saw their countenance and what really got him worried was Jade not answering her calls. He has been trying her number tirelessly on his way there, but she hasn’t been taking his calls.

He sauntered over to where they were standing in large strides.

“Have you seen that bastard?” Jake asked the moment he approached them.

“No” Mike replied.

“I swear I’m going to kill that bastard if he as much as lay a hand on my woman!” Jake roared in anger. Phil had informed him about what happened, and he was damn worried.

“Calm down were going to get him. And nothing’s going to happen to her” Phil tried to comfort him but Jake didn’t look like someone who could be comforted at the moment. They kept trying to get in touch with Marcus but all to no avail, he wasn’t even receiving his call.

“Fuck!” Jake cussed for the upteempth time tonight. He regretted not insistinng on taking her to the concert. This wouldn’t be happening if he had simply gone with her. He knew how dangerous and ruthless Marcus and his men could be, a lot could be happening to his woman right now. If anything happened to Jade, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself. She was his life. How could he had been so careless and let her go like to that place without him. Even if Marcus wasn’t involved in this, he should have insisted.

Jake tried Jade’s number one more time, but this time she just didn’t pick but her phone was also switched off.

“Where did she go?” Dan asked.

“Some bloody concert”

“Shit, that messed up” Rick cussed. A concert was highly populated and the chances of finding there was quite slim. It was same as looking for a needle in a hay stack.

“Wait, if she’s at the concert, then it also shouldn’t be easy for Marcus men to find her right. I mean that place is swarmed with people” Mike reasoned out, but Jake wasn’t listening to what they were saying. There were a thousand ways for those men to easily locate his woman but he didn’t have the time or will to lecture these grown ups.

Immediately Jake dialed Blake’s number to help him call Amy and at same time help him track Marcus number.

“What happened?” Blake asked with concern when he heard Jake’s distressed voice.

“Don’t worry, just get on it” Jake said dismissively.

“Tell me bro, are you okay? Is it sister in-law?”

“Just do what I asked you to do!” Jake snapped at him. He wasn’t in the right frame of mind and asking questions which he couldn’t answer was riling him up. He also didn’t have the answer to the questions he was been asked.

Phil and Mike walked closer but Jake raised a hand to stop them. He wasn’t in the right frame of mind at the moment. His girl was out there exposed to danger and the thought of something happening to her was driving him crazy.

“Just keep trying his number” Was all he could say at the moment before striding to his car. They all looked at each other panicly when Jake walked away.

“I’ll follow him” Phil offered and ran after Jake. Phil jumped into his car and followed Jake behind. They all knew just how crazy he could be when he was angry. His temper was something of legends. When he went beserk he’d lose all sense of reasoning and he’d do something he might regret afterwards. Knowing exactly how much he cared about Jade they all understood what he was going through. The man was on edge.

.…..

“Have you found him?” Jake asked in a very cold yet desperate tone.

“Yeah, he’s at his penthouse. I’ve sent you the address” Blake replied.

“What about Amy?” He impatiently asked.

“I can’t reach her. Her number is switched off, but her last location showed the Regent Center” That was the venue for the concert.

Jake felt his heart sink into his stomach when he heard Amy’s phone was switched off too. He almost felt like ramming his head on the wheel. Why was everything turning out like this?

“Bro can you tell me what’s going–” Blake was talking when he heard the beeping sound of the phone, indicating that the call has been disconnected. He sighed wearily and hoped nothing was wrong.

“Baby just be fine for me” He muttered, more like he was praying in his heart.

Jake’s grip over the wheel tightened as he floored the pedal to the ground and drove at the highest speed, running a lot of red lights. In no distant time, he arrived the hotel building where Marcus penthouse was situated. He approached the front desk with a very dark look in his eyes.

“Inform Marcus, Jake Beau is here to him right now” Jake ordered, startling the young girl on duty.

“Ye..yes sire” She stuttered and immediately called the penthouse. The man before her looked very scary. She said a silent prayer in her heart for the man who lived at the highest floor of the building. If there was something everyone who worked at the hotel knew was that, Marcus never liked receiving calls whenever he was in the penthouse, mostly especially when he came back with a girl, which happened to be the case tonight.

The girl took a peek at the brooding man’s face and she felt cold chill run down her spine. She muttered another round of prayer and like the heaven’s answered, a grumpy man picked the call, “You had better tender your resignation by morn–” That was the last word the girl heard when Jake snatched the receiver from her hand.

“You had better get down here this moment, or I’ll make your face the headline for all papers by morning, and all your bases raided by the cops” Jake spat out before slamming the receiver back on the counter top.

The girl jerked out of fright and placed the receiver back. She wished she could disappear.

Soon Marcus walked out of the elevator with a dark look on his face. He had no intentions of obeying such threats but he had the urge to see the face of the man who was bold enough to threaten him when he was having a good time. Who ever it was, must be courting death.

But the moment he saw Jake standing there and Phil rushing into the lobby, a small smile crept on his face as he beelined his way to them.

The moment Jake laid eyes on him, he rushed over, grabbing him by his collar as he demanded in an angry tone, “Where is she, you bastard?!” His tone and words made the smile on Marcus’ face falter as he looked at him confusedly. What the hell was he talking about?

“Where is who?” He asked in confusion. Jake’s grip over his collar tightened.

“Where’s my woman? Where’s Jade?” Jake asked in a more livid tone. Phil rushed over and held Jake’s hand on Marcus’ shirt.

“Leave him alone. You have to calm down Jake–”

Jake snapped his head towards Phil, “Calm down? You want me to calm down? My girl is out there and only God knows what his men could have done to her and you want me to chill?” He asked lividly. Phil clamped his mouth when he didn’t know what to say. Be could understand Jake’s feelings at the moment.

Listening to the exchange between the friends Marcus was able to put two and two together and his eyes widened. He looked at Jake with disbelief,

“Pretty mistress is your girl?”
