Extra 22: Reunion with the Past

That night, when Jayden got home, he waited until the kids were asleep before talking to his parents about everything he had discovered that day.

"They're asleep now," Deborah mentioned. She had just put the twins to bed since they had just fallen asleep.

"Coffee?" Jayden offered, handing her a cup.

"Thanks," she said, taking the drink.

"Haha, they took a while to fall asleep today," Samantha commented.

"Yeah, Tatiana and Danielle let them nap a lot in the afternoon since we were all busy with paperwork."

"Haha, the busy months are starting," Jayden said, knowing that after eight years of marriage, they were both familiar with each other's business routines.

"Yes, but this time it didn't feel as overwhelming because Tatiana's son has been a great help. You know, I'm thinking of offering him a permanent contract with the company once he graduates." "Aw... you sound just like us when we used to try to recruit those talented young interns who joined the company," Samantha said.

"Yeah, he's really talented in accounting, and he adapted quickly to the company's pace."

"Haha, I'm sure he was inspired by seeing how well his mom handles the job," Eric said.

"Yes, that's why I've crunched the numbers and decided to give him a symbolic salary as a thank-you for his hard work. Of course, I'll also give him a strong recommendation letter for his community service." "That sounds good to me," Jayden said.

Deborah let out a yawn. "Alright, now... honey, tell me, how did it go with Brandon?"

"He accepted my request, and he's going to give me the names of all those people who filed complaints. and were silenced so that we can talk to them and convince them to speak out publicly. But..." he began, making a face. ""What's wrong?" Samantha asked.

"Did he ask for more money?" Eric questioned, frowning.

"He asked me for an extra job, but..."

"Did he tell you anything else?" Deborah asked, noticing him nod.

"He told me something important and a bit worrying," Jayden said, letting out a sigh. "It seems that jerk went to see him and asked him to kidnap Mom."

"What..." They were left in shock upon hearing this.

In fact, Deborah was so scared by that revelation that she couldn't sleep.

"If he tries, I'll kill him," Eric declared, clenching his fists.

"Honey, calm down... don't get worked up," Samantha urged, taking his hands.

"How can you expect me to stay calm? This guy asked someone very dangerous to kidnap you, and..." he started to say, suddenly struggling to breathe, which alarmed everyone around him. "Honey..."

"Father..."

"Dad, please calm down and breathe," they all said as they rushed to him, trying to help regulate his breathing as he was very agitated.

"It's just..."

"Dad, Brandon is my friend, and he would never do anything to harm Mom, so please calm down." "But... ah... that boy..."

"Calm down and breathe, honey. Jayden is right. Despite his line of work, Brandon is a good and fair person."

"Sir..." At that moment, a servant hurried in, offering a cup of hot tea to help relax the elder. "Thank you," Eric said, taking the cup and letting the flavor of the drink ease his worries. "Ah..."

"Feeling better?" Deborah asked, with her phone in hand, ready to call an ambulance if necessary.

"Yes... thank you," he replied, placing the empty cup on the bedside table. "So...?" he asked, looking his son in the eye.

"Brandon told me about that man's plans because he thought we could use this kidnapping thing to our advantage."

"Jayden... you're going to let them kidnap your mother?

"Yes. Um... well, if Mom agrees. And before you get upset again, Dad," he said, seeing his father's expression, "if this happens, Brandon assured me he'll have his best men with her to make sure nothing bad happens."

1 get that... but why does she have to be kidnapped? Can't they meet like normal people?"

"Well, that's actually what I wanted to ask Mom."

"What do you mean?" Samantha asked.

"Mom, this guy seems to be obsessed with you, and I'd like to know... um... What happened between you two? I mean, did you leave anything unresolved in your relationship that would explain why he seems so obsessed with hurting us now and wanting to kidnap you?" "Well..." she said, becoming pensive, trying to analyze or recall.

*Honey?"

"Well, not that I remember. Back then, I did imagine myself becoming Mrs. Gates since things were serious for a while, but we had a fight, and he left town she said, frowning. "Like with any breakup. I
