Chapter 864 The Last Mission: His Answer
Day Ninety...
At Sparks Mansion
Nathan kept staring through the glass window of his study room as if he was waiting for someone.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening yet Jane hadn't arrived home yet. The last thing he knew was that Jane fetched Black Rose in the Syphiruz Headquarters.
For some unknown reason, Nathan found himself looking for Jane and waiting for her arrival.
'Is she staying out all night?' Nathan pondered to himself. He was unaware that Jane already informed Ethan that she was going home late tonight because of the farewell and get-together party with her comrades. Ethan had already gone to bed, confident that Jane would come home later.
To kill some time, Nathan turned on his laptop and logged into his account– Sizzling August. He navigated through his old conversations with Jane also known as Shining Star.
He felt nostalgic as he reminisced about the moments he spent with her just chatting and playing video games.
'I am such a fool! I should have noticed the difference between the real one and the fake one.' Nathan was slowly acknowledging his mistake. He allowed a stranger to deceive him.
Jane's words still echoed in his mind. Monica had stolen her identity. Jane should have been the one by his side. He interacted with those fake women, thinking they were Jane.
That reality was slowly sinking in his mind right now. And he realized that he shouldn't get mad at Phantomflake. She was also a victim of this deception.
Nathan was still lost in his thoughts when he heard the sound of his ringtone. An unknown number appeared on his screen. He was going to ignore it, but a message popped up in his notification.
"Nate, answer the phone."
When he read it, Nathan's fingers moved accordingly, pressing the answer button. He suspected that the person who was calling him was Jane. She had been calling him 'Nate' more often.
"Hey! Are you the guy who stole our sister's heart? Our sister's boyfriend?" Mystique's voice echoed from the other line.
Nathan frowned because that voice didn't belong to Jane.
"Where is she?" He asked in his stern voice.
"You didn't answer my question! I've asked you first!" Mystique spat back at him. She sounded drunk already. "Are you Phantomflake's boyfriend?"
"No. I'm not," Nathan replied, rubbing the space between his eyebrows.
'Where the hell is she?' He clenched his jaws. He could hear the loud music in the background as if they were in a club.
Nathan didn't refuse as he followed her. They chose the most quiet spot in the club.
"You are Nathan, the father of Jane's child. She showed me your picture, that's why I recognized you." Mrs. Frost explained to Nathan.
"Yes. It's me. What do you want to talk to me about?" Nathan asked. He remained composed yet curious.
"It's about Jane. She gave up things for you. She decided to leave our assassin guild so that she could live with you. So I want to know if you will protect her. What can you do for her?"
Nathan didn't know what to say after hearing that. He was still confused about his feelings. He couldn't promise anything.
Mrs. Frost looked disappointed when Nathan didn't respond to him. She could see the reluctance and hesitation in his eyes.
"Sigh. I'm not sure if Jane made the right choice in choosing you. I am afraid that you will let her down. If you hurt her and make her unhappy, I will kill you. I don't care if you are the father of her child!" Mrs. Frost started threatening Nathan.
"I don't want to make a promise. I am still in the process of getting to know her more. So don't expect too much from me... yet..." Nathan finally found his voice to speak up.
Mrs. Frost smirked. "I like your honesty."
"Fine. I know I am somehow pressuring you. But... I would like you to know that Jane is like my real daughter. I raised her like my own child. And I witnessed her suffer before. I don't want that to happen again. She's been through a lot."
Nathan became more curious about Jane's past. He was still clueless about her traumatic experience. Only Stephen knew her story. And he felt somehow jealous about that.
"What happened to her? Tell me," Nathan demanded. He was now all ears to Mrs. Frost.
Mrs. Frost looked back into the memories.
"Four years ago, Jane fell into someone's trap when she accepted a mission abroad. Though she survived, she lost her dignity as a woman. She was captured by Monica. She was sexually assaulted by her... including her men."
"I was confused at first how you ended up being the father of her child. At first, we thought she was gang raped and got impregnated by those men. But Jane explained everything to us."
"Both of you were drugged and intoxicated when you conceived Ethan."
Nathan had mixed emotions right now. He didn't expect Monica did those evil things to Jane. It was unforgivable!
"But now, I feel glad knowing that you were Jane's old friend. She told me that you were Sizzling August, her virtual friend." Mrs. Frost held Nathan's shoulders, staring at his eyes intently.
"Nathan. I hope you will be kind to her. Treat her well. I want Jane to be happy. Can you please do that? She told me that she loves you for real and she will fight for you. I hope you won't hurt her feelings."
"But if you don't feel anything for her... then tell her now. Don't give her false hope. I will take her back from you. We will protect her and make her happy... we can take care of Jane and Ethan."
Nathan's expression turned serious. "My son is not going anywhere..." he paused for a moment before continuing, "including Jane."
That was his answer to Mrs. Frost.
