Jennifer tries to stab Jayden once again.

"Sometimes you know, you need to use your brain rather than using your physical skills," Jayden said while operating his laptop. He already took control of all the aircraft within a few seconds and blasted them off in the air.

"You could have done that long back instead of letting me get irritated from those blasts and shots," Aiden complained.

"I like to irritate you the most! But now, I feel like seeing you blush once more. How about we…" Before he could finish, Aiden hit his head hard.

"Ouch! If you hit my head once again then I will not let you see your lover again. Oops!! I forgot to tell you, Jennifer and Elina now know about our little secret. It's my wife who first found out that we both are different individuals. Isn't she clever?" Jayden said while lifting one of his eyebrows.

"I don't know about that but you have become muddle-headed after your marriage. I am definitely sure about that now. She is the daughter of the person who helped our enemy. And the way you are behaving now, I simply cannot say if you have realized what you did was a huge mistake."

"Relax! Jennifer is different. And even her family members are not so bad."

"So you are saying that by just meeting them once, you understood everything about their character! Don't you find it odd that they just pushed their daughter away so easily towards you? Did you not get a feeling that everything might have been their plan from the beginning? They could have sent her to eliminate us."

"No! Jennifer could not even hurt a fly. I believe in her…" But by the end of that sentence, his voice reduced to a low level that even he could have not heard what he said.

"Oh! Really? Then the person who finished almost half of the gang when she was held captive at Golden Poison is someone else? And the one who stabbed you from behind is not her?" Aiden asked.

Jayden kept quiet for a long time. He knows how dangerous Jennifer can turn into after his recent encounter when he got stabbed in his back. If he was not careful to avoid her advance, she could have reached for his neck in no time.

But she only acted like that when she felt danger lurking around her, or else all he could see is a normal woman who cares about her family and friends more than her life.

"Are you hiding something else from me?" Aiden asked after noticing his brother's silence.

"What can I even hide from you?" Jayden asked and then suddenly he remembered that letter which he saw in their secret room's dustbin.

"Oh! Yes, I saw a bundle of shredded paper in a dustbin that said you were going to find our sister without informing me. It was almost written in your handwriting and I could have even believed it. But by mistake or intentionally, they mixed yours and mine together to avoid suspicion. Whoever it may be but definitely trying to act over smart. Looks like the one who copied must be too close with all your dealings."

"That's Axe. He is one of your father-in-law's men. He thought I would never find out about him. But I knew it from the day he joined our gang. Recently, I found out that he is more loyal towards the council than Dexter. He is planning something huge along with them. Since he knows about our sister then he might know more details about that accident as well. Or maybe about that person who caused our accident." Aiden said.

Jayden felt like it would be in no time they would be reunited as a family of three, no, it's actually four! He is now married to Jennifer!! And may extend to five, if Aiden took Elina in… He felt happy to have so many people as his family.

When they both reached Mike's island it was already way past midnight. Jayden sneaked into Jennifer's room through the window, while Aiden walked towards Mike's room.

Jennifer heard a slight noise near the window and woke up instantly while holding onto her weapon tightly. The moment Jayden reached the bed, she jumped up and pushed him down. She put a knife onto his neck and tightened her grip. Her long hair fell on Jayden's face and tickled him.

"I did not know that you missed me so much that you would jump on me when you see me"

Hearing Jayden's voice, she loosened her grip on him but did not get up from him. She hissed in a low voice and said,

"I know you are the one who kidnapped my parents. Let them go and I will spare you and your brother's life."

"I told you several times before that we did not do anything to your parents. First of all, they were not even abducted. They went into hiding at…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Jennifer held him tight and pressed the knife near his throat. It scratched lightly and a small patch of blood oozed out.

"Do you really not trust me even a little? I did not know that you hate me so much." Jayden felt hurt by her words and behavior rather than the wound on his neck.

"To even hate a person, you should know them a little bit first. I don't know anything about you, so why should I trust or hate you? You are nothing to me! All I want is my life back. Now do not pretend like you really don't know about my parent's abduction. If you do not let them go, then I just had to kill you and your brother. You are leaving me with no option here."

Before she could even tighten her grip, even more, Jayden pushed her down and got up.

"I am really done with you! You will now kill my brother after stabbing me? For what? What did we even do to you guys? Why is your family always trying to harm us? Even after so long all you could say is you know nothing about me? Fine, then" Once the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he overspoke.

He took a deep breath and said, "Look, I am sorry! I didn't know what I was saying before. So what is your problem? Why do you keep thinking that it was us who kidnapped your parents? I know where your parents are, I can take you to them…"

"Fine, let us go!" Jennifer got ready to leave immediately. Nothing was so important to her than rescuing her parents.

"Let us go tomorrow, ok? I promise! It's already so late at night, you need to sleep. I also need some rest after a long day." He patted her head and turned back to leave.

Jennifer got irritated with his lies. She did not want to let him off the hook easily. With the knife in her hand, she approached him from behind. Jayden turned around to say good night but was met with her menace eyes. The knife in her hand made him twist his brows. He made a fist out of his hand and tightened it even more.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

"I will if you don't tell me where my parents are!"

"What you said about killing my brother...is that really what you meant?"

"Yes, I don't mind getting rid of a few thorns on the way… Anyways it is all common in this business. To reach some heights few sacrifices are required to be made. Do you think my father attained what he has now, without stabbing anyone? I am his daughter and what can you expect from an underground king's daughter? A red rose? Definitely not!" Jennifer tried to intimidate him by pretending to raise her knife in a stabbing position.

Jayden held her hand tightly and looked at her eyes and asked, "Thorn? Sacrifices? You dare lay your dirty hands on my brother and see!! I will chop that hand of yours the next minute. Till now, I was able to understand you and thought that you were upset because of what happened to your parents. But now I see how cruel you are! You are the ugliest person I have ever seen. I tried to save you every time danger lurked around you but this is how I get repaid for my true love? Now let me warn you once and for all, even if you look at my brother's direction by mistake, I will make sure you lose both your eyesight." Jayden roared with red-rimmed eyes.
