TIMONE'S POV.

My throat was dry as fuck. Not like oh I need water dry—nah, this was full-on choking-on-sawdust, lungs-can’t-work kind of dry. Like my chest forgot how to breathe, like the air around me went too heavy too fast. Because he was here. Standing right there. Fucking Festus, the one I'd loved since I was young, and he instead had once had eyes for Devn, but eh was he here, looking so relaxed like he knew Aiden?.

Not a dream. Not a hallucination. Not one of those fever memories I jerke

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 91

    Devin POV Aiden might not understand why I am adamant in making sure that I just want to be on my own and I don't want anything related to him because it only makes me think about things from a weird perspective instead of me understanding what he's trying to do and in the long run I'm going to end up resenting him which is something that I don't also want to happen. "You need to say something. This is not about us anymore. This conversation has taken a high ton and we need to find a proper solution before it's too late. You might not consider it as important but I think that it is something that we need to be very mindful of and we need to talk about a solution as fast as possible." He addressed.I kept watching I'm waiting for him to understand the memo that I am not really a fan of him anymore and I couldn't care less about his opinions.I would rather stick to the plan and make sure that I don't underestimate what I need to put in place and also make sure that I don't have too m

    Devin POV Two days pass again and I'm even in a more damning state than before. My eyes hover across the screen. To hell with the notion that I didn't want to have anything to do with Aiden. I was basically rotting all over here, looking or easy to stop my see from going mad."Hey, I thought that you'd be here and you didn't disappoint me." Festus poked his head in, watching me with a measured glance. His eyes were basically unreadable and all that I could do was to hesitate to see what he was up to this time. "You didn't have to worry about anything. I was trying to see if you hadn't killed yourself yet, you know since you've been holding up in there." He continued, I heard a hint of laughter underneath his tone but I would rather focus on something different entirely than this. "Is this why you came to me or you have bad news?" I rebuffed, refusing to be a charity case. I was yet to speak to Stella and even though everything that exploded into ruins, I think that sge deserved

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 89

    Devin POV "He's back in the country and he's staying in a hotel for the meantime," Timone informed me as soon as he came into the house. Aiden was getting on my nerves. Even though he wanted both of us to come together and work as a team, I didn't think that it would be better for us to do that when we could just stay in our separate ways and pretend like neither of us ever existed. If he was also looking for something to achieve, then he had to work twice as hard to be able to get it and stop disturbing me or trying to make me feel like I was doing something wrong. "I don't want such a piece of information in my arena. If you don't mind, I would love to just remain quiet and deal with my things the way I want them to be." "Oh, really? Have you even considered it again? I don't think that there is anything wrong with both of you sitting together and trying to understand what's going on without any bias." Timone jumped in. Festus was mostly silent throughout the entire ordeal, an

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 88

    Aiden POV Devin's silence was giving me more headaches than I wanted to give credit for, and no matter how much I wanted to pretend like it was nothing, I just found myself thinking about everything in reverse and finding out that I was wasting my entire time. I didn't have what it took to be able to start all over,r and can I start fighting for a relationship that had already sealed its permanent fate, so I just wanted to give myself a break and not do too much that was going to mess with my mind. I was restless because I didn't understand why Devin would refuse to see reason in whatever I was trying to drive my point a;t instea,d he was going to find it easy for himself to make sure that he didn't not get committed more than he already was. I had only one option, which was to bring something else that was not going to delay me even more than it had already been, and then I was going to have to prove my intentions more than before, which was not as easy as everybody wanted to mak

    AIDEN POVBy the time I made it back to the house, my body was heavy in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with the trip. I went straight to my room, slamming the door shut much harder than I intended. I stripped out of my clothes, turned the shower on, and stood under the water until the temp

    AIDEN POV My whole body felt wired, like something under my skin wouldn't sit still, and I couldn't tell if it was excitement or nerves or some mix that made no sense, because every time I tried to slow down and breathe normally I just ended up thinking about Devin's face downstairs and the way he

    DEVIN POV.By the time the plane touched down the next morning, my nerves were already hot. My stomach felt like it had been tied into a tight knot since the second I closed my eyes on the flight and immediately saw the same scene replaying in my head—the hotel room, Aiden's breathing, the heat of

    DEVIN'S POV.By the time I reached my father's estate, my nerves were already stretched taut. I tried to breathe normally as I parked, but my chest felt tight the whole walk in. The house always felt too big, too cold, too silent. And I hated that it still had the power to put pressure on my lungs
