Jayden opened his eyes half passed one in the afternoon to see his room empty, he looked at the side of his bed to see it rough and empty, “ Uwuu!!” He yawned stretched both hands, stood up from the bed and head to the bathroom checked it too see it empty, head to his walk in closet to see it empty of Lena’s presents.

“ Where did she go?” He asked himself pulled a short and a singlet on and head to the door, getting to the door he noticed a red thing hanging at the side of the bed, walked over and pulled it only to see a pantie. Looked at the top of the bed to see her top. ‘She's still here' he thought to himself. Covering the top and the pantie with the duvet he went out the door. And head downstairs to see Breakfast ready and Jeeves standing close by.

“ Why didn't you inform me breakfast was ready?” He glanced at the time clock close by.

“ You always wakes up at this time sir….”

“ Get her to come down stairs” he pulled his spoon, sipping soup.

“ Who sir?”

“ The girl I came with last night who else?” he snapped at Jeeves.

“ Oh, she left early!”

“ She left?” he asked shocked dropping his spoon on the soup, “ what do you mean she left?”

“ Earlier, I mean very early this morning she rushed out poorly dressed different from the way she came last night, she almost called an Uber and refused to have breakfast like others or get a ride from the driver but soon accepted after I told her getting an Uber into the estate wasn't allowed!” Jeeves explained.

Jayden stared at him for a long time shocked at Jeeves words, all the girls he has brought to the estate to have fun with has never left so early, there would stay till the next day or asks for pays for their time and energy. Some would even asks for a car or a property. But she left without making a scene or asking for something? It sounded and felt stranged to him.

“ Get me the driver who drove her off” Jeeves nodded and walked off, while the female servants served him.

He turned to the living room direction to see her coat lying on the couch, “ who owns that coat” he asked one of the female servants.

“ The Miss you came with last night, she forgot it”

Forgetting her pantie, top and coat what else did she left it? Jayden wondered.

“ What did she wear when she left?”

“ A white sleeve preferably yours, her jeans and a single leg of her shoe, she left in a hurry as if she won and I saw a tiny smile on her face!”

“ A tiny smile?” Jayden asked.

“ I think a smirk”

“A smirk?” Jayden wondered, staring at the food in front of him“ does that mean I was used?” He asked himself, recalling Lena's words from last night she wanted to forget, she needed someone to forget her past!

“ So she used me!!” He snapped his fist on the dinning table in anger. “ That's why she left early! what a funny encounter, she's supposed to be the one used, not me! How can a girl use me?” He murmured to himself, grabbing the table while his fist shakes.

Seeing this the female servant withdrawn her steps and left through the back door.

No wonder she left early, he sat there fuming.

“ Mr Huxley, here he is” Jeeves pulled him out of his reverie.

Turning to the driver, he breath in to contain his anger. “ The girl you drove off this morning where did she stopped?”

“ At a bus stop sir, she refused me taking her to her house and ordered me to drop her off at the bus stop instead.” He paused for a while. “Few minutes after dropping her off I looked back to see her walking off with a guy she didn't wait for the bus!”

Jayden raised and eyebrows and Jeeves did too. “ you can leave now!” He waved at the driver who did as he was told.

Turned to see Jeeves still standing, “ You too!” He barked at Jeeves who left in a hurry.

Placing both Elbows on the dining table and both hands on his head he stared at the food recalling he didn't get her name or her address last night!

“ Mr Huxley, Mr Huxley!!” Jeeves ran in with a phone in hand. “ Mr Huxley Senior wants to speak to you!”

“ You mean my Dad?” He asked and Jeeves nodded handing him the phone.

“ Yes Dad!” Jayden placed the phone on his ear.

“ Get your Ass here as fast as you can, if not you will hate me as a father!” He yelled and Jayden pulled the phone away to save his ear drum.

“ What's wrong Old Huxley why the bully this morning?”

“ Morning? Don't tell me you just woke up this afternoon as always”

“ Yeah I did and what?”

“ Get here before I sell you off and the private estate.” He barked, “ if you don't get here in less than an hour, Be ready to asks your Mom who your father is!!” He barked again and ended the call.

“ Hey, hey Dad!” Jayden yelled on the phone but got no answer.

“ Senior Mr Huxley is at the Company and he needs you there as soon as possible! If not…”

“ Beat it!” Jayden pointed at Jeeves and ran upstairs to his room, quickly wearing his suit.

Searching for his phone, he pulled off the duvet to see Lena’s pantie and top, saw his phone and was about grabbing it only to see a blood stain on his bed.
