and Jayden returned the smile when his eyes caught the gift box she was with. It was Christmas Eve by the way and it was a tradition in the house to exchange gifts on such da
e, "I was waiting for you to finish" He glanced at the gold plated wall clock and nodded his head, he still had a lot of time. "I won't spare you Gerald" Mr Baxter fumed angrily, sweat dripping down his forehead. Baxter was the owner of the biggest automobile conglomerate in the whole of America and beyond. His name was gateway opportunity but right now he was on his knees and his best friend had a gun pointed to his head. "Why the heck did you kill my children?" His wife yelled angrily as hard bitter tears flowed out of her eyes while she still shoved her children's body. Christmas Eve was now a gloomy night for them. This was one thing they never imagined. "Just let me have the papers Baxter and I promise not to harm your wife or you anymore" "You are a bastard Gerald" Baxter hissed again and a bullet to his thighs made him wince in pain. "Please don't kill him" Mrs Baxter begged, "don't kill my husband" "Then give me what I want" Gerald backed, "I am not here to play pity games with you" By now he already cocked the gun and pointed it at her. "What the fuck is wrong with you Baxter? You really don't love your family do you?" After talking, Gerald gestured to his men and they began to search the living room for whatever they were looking for. Nerdy Jayden who was getting a bit apprehensive came out of the room and just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw the scene at the foot of the stairs and he froze on the spot. His two sisters were dead and his parents were kneeling with guns pointed to their heads. "Don't do this Gerald" his mother begged but instead the sinister looking man smiled. Jayden recognized Gerald, he was his father's best friend and business associate. What the hell was he doing? The moment he took a step forward, his mother's eyes met his and she gestured for him to run. Jayden didn't want to go, he couldn't leave his family like that but seeing the pain in her eyes, he turned around and ran back to his room and locked the door from inside. His mind was beating faster than usual and he was wondering what he should do, for the first time he was upset over the fact he didn't have a cell phone in his room. Back downstairs, Baxter and his wife were still pleading but when one of Gerald's men walked up to him and whispered something in his ears, his countenance changed. "You really don't care about the life of your family right?" After asking, Gerald immediately shot his wife right in front of him. Mrs Baxter immediately fell to her death. "Gerald!!!" But a bullet also penetrated his brain and he also fell to his death. "Find that boy" Gerald yelled and made his way upstairs, he was not planning to leave until he got what he wanted. **** Back in his room, Jayden was already freaking out. He could hear footsteps and he knew whoever that was, was coming for his room. He just watched his whole family being murdered and he just couldn't wrap his head around it, nothing made sense to him. A loud bang on his door made him flinch in fear. "I don't know what to do, mum" Jayden muttered under his breath as tears rolled out of his eyes. He had never been in this kind of sit
