My Sexy Assistant

Pain

Jake's P.o.v

"What do you mean?! Find her now!" I barked. The detectives ran out of the room quickly. I turned to the men who were supposed to be protecting her.

"I pay you men well to protect her!" Tapping my fingers on the table I glared at them. "You guys were supposed to keep her safe but you didn't... I placed my trust in you... Now... if you don't get me something by tomorrow I will destroy your fucking life! Now get out!"

I grabbed my laptop and plug it in the wall. Someone fucking took her! I should have known something was up! Why didn't I see?! Those fucking messages were the clue the whole time!

Diana will be taken tonight

Each one of us received a part of the message. Me, Lyle, Alexandria Marion and Diana. I Diana's own from her phone that fell after they took her. I'm so stupid. This is my fault.

I should have known! I ran my hands through my hair furiously! I don't know what to do! I paced the floor angrily. No sign of her! I thought I could protect her but I did such a terrible job!

I walked towards the window and shoved my hands in my pockets. I'm useless!

"Brother" I turned around and faced Lyle.

"How are you holding up?"

"How'd you think?" He poured out a glass of whiskey and offered me, but I declined.

"She's going to be okay"

"Yeah... well... we don't know that. I'm just waiting for a call or something. Maybe they want money"

"Brother trust me... if they were holding her for ransom they would have called you

Two weeks ago

"Don't!" Diana said slapping me with the spoon. I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her neck. "This is not the time for that Jake now go stir the pot"

"Are you sure it won't burn me?"

"Quit being a baby. I'm teaching you to cook so learn"

"I should have just pretended to be sick. I hate cooking"

"Whatever" she spat. She leaned against the counter and sipped her orange juice. Wrapping my arms around her again I ran my fingers down her spine.

"I have something in the room to show you"

"Sure. As soon as you finish cooking. Speaking of which I should probably taste the pot" I watched in admiration as she put the spoon in her mouth. Her eyes widened and she spun around and faced me.

"Jake! I'm going to kill you! How many spoons of salt did you add to this?!"

"You said four spoons" she burst out laughing and that's the laugh that says... I'm gonna kill you.

To my relief Lyle stepped in the kitchen.

"Let's go before Diana cuts my head off"

About twenty minutes we pulled up at a jewellery store.

Upon reaching inside I started looking at the necklaces. All were beautiful. Hard to choose from. Of course I've never done this before.

My eyes caught a beautiful ring. As I stood there staring at it I felt the urge to buy it, but why?

It's not like it would make sense. It would be perfect for an... engagement... but O don't believe in that. I don't believe in marriage.

I don't even know why I'm looking at this.
