My Evil Boy Toy

JAYDEN POV

I woke up in the dark again, like what happened when I was young. ​​

I met my mother\'s brother for the first time, my uncle. I didn\'t tell Peggy about it because I know she\'ll be worried.

I thought I already moved on and I just want to see them. To show them what I\'ve become. I thought like Peggy, I could easily forget and forgive the people who hurt me.

But I was wrong. When I saw my uncle, I started to feel the pain in my chest again. When I asked him about my mother, he said they didn\'t order to kill dad especially her. I was honestly relieved to know they didn\'t do it. He said they tried to look for her killers but their investigation were limited because they think a much powerful clan of the Mafia was involved.

I felt mad because they\'re scared of those who killed my mother. I snapped when uncle said it was my dad\'s fault that mom died so I attacked him. Maybe, one of the reasons she was killed was because she ran away with dad. But what\'s the big problem? They loved each other. It was them who wanted mom to marry a man she didn\'t love just because of some honor or to make peace with other Mafia Clan. She wasn\'t a trophy. She\'s a human.

They said they loved her and would never hurt her. I wanted to laugh, but for some reason I can see the sadness from my uncle\'s eyes when he talked about my mother.

They didn\'t ask for forgiveness but I was ready to forgive them. I wanted to forgive and forget about them so I can move on with Peggy and my father. I wanted to live in peace. I wanted the pain to go away. I wanted the memory of the day mom was killed to be just a memory. I was ready to start a new life with Peggy. I wanted to make her happy.

Revenge has been my goal ever since my mom got murdered. I died along with her when I was 7. I never blamed dad. He was protecting me all his life. He never cried a single tear when mom died but I know it was just a show. Dad cried. At least not in front of me. I saw him once in his room. He was holding their wedding photo. He was talking to her and he was crying. He misses her so much. He blamed himself on that day. But he never regret loving her.

I wanted to be like him. He loves mom unconditionally. He never blamed mom\'s family nor got mad with them. He kept mom in his heart as he watched me grow.

I looked at my uncle and was ready to shake hands with him, when I saw one of his men. I recognized the tattoo on his hand. A skull with an arow pierced on its eye. That was the tattoo I saw from one of mom\'s murderer.

I felt the rage and anger consumed me. He was lying to me. They did kill her. Before I know it, I already got the gun from my uncle and point it at the man\'s head. I asked him about the tattoo but he didn\'t answer. Uncle said to calm down but I didn\'t. I felt darkness devoured me and I lost it. The next thing I know, I was already full of blood. I ran outside and went directly to the palace.

I need to see Peggy. I need her. I don\'t know who I am anymore. This pain, this agony, it will never go away. Why did it happen? Why did mom died? Why did she have to be murdered in front of me? Why? I keep on asking myself why. Fate is really cruel. What if one day I lost control and I hurt Peggy? What should I do? I hurt her before and I promise I will never do that again.

Peggy, where are you? I ran inside the palace halls and looked for her. The servants were stunned to see me with blood all over. Then I saw her in the garden with his brother Kyle. I was relieved she\'s safe and smiling. She look so happy.

What will she think of me if she see me like this? Will she leave me if she found out I shot someone? No, I won\'t let her leave me. I\'m selfish and conceited. I don\'t even know anymore if I could really make her happy. But I need her. I\'m at peace whenever I\'m with her.

She was talking to Kyle about us. Our plans together. Her smile was like the sun that will brighten up your day. She was like a moon that lighten up the darkness of the night.

"Peggy." I called her.

I opened my eyes and it was dark. What happened? I\'m back to this place again. Did I switch with mom?

"Jayden." It was mom\'s voice.

I looked around and found her crouched down. I walked towards her and kneeled.

"Mom?" I called while holding her shoulder.

When she raised her head, I was terrified. Her eyes were no color, no soul. Her face was swollen and her throat were slit. Blood was coming out from it. I backed away. This is what she look like when she was murdered.

"You promised you\'ll get my revenge." She said over and over.

I covered my ears so I won\'t hear her creepy voice.

"Jayden." Another voice. But not from my mother. Who is it?

"Jayden! Nooo! You said you won\'t leave me." It was Peggy\'s voice. She\'s crying. But why?

I looked around but I couldn\'t find her. She\'s been calling me and she was talking to me but where is she? It\'s too dark in here. Peggy I\'ll find you. Just keep calling my name.

I stood up and started to run. This happened before, I was lost in the dark and couldn\'t find my way out. I was in a coma for months while I was trapped in here. I couldn\'t let it happen again especially if Peggy is crying.

"Mom! Where are you? Please help me!" I shouted.
