Chapter 6 :Under Jax’s Protection

Angelica

Jax took me to his bike and made me wear one of his helmets while we tried to escape the men that were constantly trying to fight us, pursuing us.

I haven't really been in contact with Celeb before, but I've heard a lot of dangerous things about him. If there was one thing I was certain of, it was his relationship with his brother. They didn't like each other and didn't even bother pretending about it.

"Where are we going?" I asked, wrapping my hands around Jax's torso while he rode so fast.

It felt like the second I let go of him would be the moment that I'd fall off the bike.

I peeped to look behind me, and my eyes fell on a group of men pursuing us from behind.

"Do you think we can loose them?" I asked,

Jax chuckled dryly, increasing his speed without murmuring a single word. Eventually, we made a sharp turn, and not long after that tone, we had the privilege of making another turn.

"Why don't we go that way?" I asked and Jax immediately refused,

"If we go there, it'll obviously be a set up. They'll know that our next approach is that direction and Caleb has men that are loyal to him there" He informed, riding straight.

For some reason, I felt okay letting him take the lead without being scared.

He rest my head on his back and shut my eyes, biting my lips, hoping that this ride would come to an end soon because of how neasous it was making me feel.

Suddenly, after about 5 minutes of giving my eyes shut, I couldn't hear any bike behind us again.

Slowly, I opened my eyes and turned to look behind us, but there was no one there. In excitement, I murmured, "I think we've lost them."

Jax was already slowing down, but he didn't stop his bike. "You obviously don't know who Caleb Vance is..."

"He's Ethan's brother, who doesn't know him?" I asked, feeling a bit offended but he chuckled softly, still riding his bike, he informed,

"We didn't lost him. He stopped following us because in these lands we are, I have people and he didn't come with enough to start a fight with,"

"Oh..." I murmured, enlightened.

"Yes..." We suddenly got to a big mansion, and Jax scanned his face in front of the camera at the gate before it opened.

"Where is this?" I asked, a bit skeptical because he didn't mention anything about taking me anywhere.

"This is my home," he said, causing me to arch my brows as he stopped the bike behind a beautiful fountain—the kind of view that just welcomes you the second you step into the compound.

"You'll be safe here... I don't think it's safe for you to return back to your place of work for now, and as for the things you think you can't do with it, write me a list and hand me your keys; I'll have someone retrieve it," he said, talking with so much authority that for a moment, I was baffled.

"I bite my lips and sit up before I shake my head and say, "I don't understand..."

He was walking so very fast that I had to increase my pace just to catch up with him, and eventually, after those words escaped my lips, he stopped walking, probably to respond to me.

"You can't possibly be thinking of going back home considering the number of people you have on your back at the moment. Any opportunity Caleb has, he'd surely get you," Jax said, frightening me.

"What about my brother? My brother is at the hospital receiving treatment; don't you think they'll get to him too?" I asked, and he shook his head before reaching for his phone.

"They won't. The hospital is guarded, and no one can go in to hurt anyone, but if it makes you feel better, I'm going to send someone to keep an eye on him," he offered, and I immediately agreed but paused almost immediately, wondering why on earth he was helping me.

Surely he doesn't want something from me, right? "Ja..." I tried calling but shut my lips almost immediately because he took his phone to his ear in an attempt to answer a phone call.

"Tim, I want a favor from you," he said, simultaneously gesturing for a servant to walk towards him.

When she got closer, he whispered, "Take her to a room please,"

Jax walked off to receive the call while I followed the servant upstairs, wondering if I had just made a life-threatening decision.

I did this for my brother. I reminded myself of the only reason why I agreed to any of this. If I had known that it was going to be this deadly, I doubt that I would have backed out.

I reached into my pocket, and in shock, I widened my eyes and almost slapped my face.

Fuck—

I left my phone back at work, and I was just about to call the hospital to find out for myself how my brother was doing.

I paused halfway, alerting the maid, "Is something wrong, ma'am?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"Uhm... Are we close to the room?" I asked, and she responded with a nod, pointing at a door for me.

I followed her there, and before she left, she asked, "Is there anything that you might want me to get you?"

"Yes, please. I need a paper and a pen." I said, and she responded with a nod and asked again, "Anything else?"

"That's all I need for now." I said sternly before she left the room, and in less than 5 minutes, she walked into the room with the pen and paper and left.

The first on my list was my phone, and for a while I thought of other things that I might need, but still, I needed to go there myself to take my things.

Inhaling deeply, I got up and left the room with the paper. As I got to the stairs, I found Jax walking to and fro in the living room, still on the phone.

"What did you say? They've gotten to her brother?" His question suddenly cut deep.
