Chapter 10

"After the big controversial that Jackson Smith became part of, he's now back to be part of an upcoming movie."

I put down the newspaper and I felt like I'm about to bursts into anger. I'm inside my office here at our company and I just came here to get some relaxation as I research for Jackson's whereabouts.

Of course, before stalking him. I have to know what's his current projects or whatever's going on into his life so I'll know where to start.

"His brother is missing and he's still out there enjoying his fame, huh?" I said bitterly to myself before I shove away the newspaper making it fall to the floor.

"Was he even bothered? Or does he even have any idea that his brother is kidnapped?" I kept murmuring to myself as I took my iPad to search his name on the internet.

And as usual, he's still one of the most successful and famous young actor slash model in the industry. Even when he didn't even apologize to his fans for what happened to both of us, everyone seems to still love and support him.

His looks really helped him become this superior and lovable, huh? That everything he does makes everyone just fall in love with him.

But he is not as attractive as his brother. Prince Jacques is way more attractive- wait! Why am I even comparing? I don't care for both of them, they are both a headache to me.

This Jackson here is stone-cold while the other is playful yet very intimidating.

I bit my lower lip hard before I shook my head.

"Kia, drinks?" I raised my head and I saw Addison peaking her head to the door of my office. "Tea? Juice? What?" She continued asking.

"Oh, no! I'm good." I said and smiled at her.

She nodded and her head slowly closed my door. When I was sure that she's already gone, I decided to just play some music so I could relax while searching for Jackson's.

I chose to play Lights Out by Sonn and Ayelle. I don't know why I chose this song but I really it is beat and I find it relaxing even though the song lyrics are kind of sensual.

While listening to the lyrics, I suddenly remembered the time before I left Prince Jacques in the rest house. He was sitting on the couch as he sips tea.

"Take care," he said when he noticed that I'm about to leave already. I stopped walking and went to look at him to at least pay some respect. "You should know Jackson's whereabouts first before you stalk him so you wouldn't have to always depend on your men to do the job for you." He suggested making me raise my eyebrows.

"Why would I even trust you?" Does he really think I'd follow his suggestions? I'm not even sure if he's really being sincere to his suggestions or he's just manipulating me so that he could escape from me already.

"I'm not asking you to trust me," he said calmly before he puts down his teacup to the table. "I'm just suggesting things so you don't have to stress yourself anymore from thinking and thinking." He then slowly looks at me with his deep-set of eyes. He's gazing at me in a way that makes my heart skip a beat and turn my knees into jelly.

Am I feeling intimidated towards him because I know that he's the future king of our country? Because I know that he is very powerful. Or... am I feeling intimidated because the way he looks at me looks so dark yet you could see the passion in there. As if he's trying to exert dominance and passion at the same time.

I looked away from him, trying to compose myself. "Thank you so much for your suggestions but I have my own ways," I said to him and didn't bother anymore to even bid him goodbye.

But here I am right now... doing what he suggested. And I think it's really helping me to solve my problems. I could make some research and not commit sudden actions that I know would probably just gonna put myself into another problem again.

I don't know why Prince Jacques is even suggesting to me what to do. When obviously, even if I wasn't doing anything to him and Melinda and the other men inside that mansion is treating him right. That doesn't change the fact that I still kidnapped him.

Or am I right when I think that maybe he doesn't mind being kidnapped at all? He's enjoying it. I think he's even happier to be inside there than being in the palace.

Why? Is it hard being a crown prince? I don't know the responsibility of being the future king of our country but I think he's not really enjoying it.

As a normal citizen of this country, I always thought that the crown prince or being part of the royal family will make them happy. That they are the luckiest people in the world because they are royals.

I guess it is hard too, huh? Especially that they can't have the privacy that they want once they are exposed to the public. What more to him? He is known to be the future of this country.

He takes all the responsibility at a very young age.

I sighed.

I remembered that he really enjoyed eating the steak that Melinda cooked for him last night.

What if I go to a steak restaurant later and buy him some food? Ugh! I shouldn't think of him right now because it's Jackson that I have to focus right now.

But what will I do if I really found out that Jackson is suffering because his brother is missing? Would I continue to keep Prince Jacques?

I really have so many things to think that it's already stressing me out!

I was about to just turn off my iPad already and have some rest first when suddenly my phone rang for a call.

And it's from Leah!
