LOGINEpilogue. Both men stare at each other for a long time trying to figure out if there was anything that they needed to say but it seemed like everything had already been spoken off. In fact there was only one thing that had been remaining for the both of them to be able to talk about which was the fact that they were going to be a lot of mistakes and corrections that needed to be made if they were going to be truthful to themselves but it's seemed like the more they kept arguing the more things became even harder. For some reason, Aiden had finally decided that he was going to have peace without looking over his shoulders or trying to figure out if anything was wrong with him all along and how far he could take before he finally found a better idea that was not going to make him almost run mad. He had too many people who had a really decided to Wait by him trying to figure out if they could make things better but he had chosen one person. Devin walked out of the gym with his backp
Devin POV As soon as we concluded with those people I was sure that there was nothing else that was left for us to deal with besides just making sure that we just enjoyed the entire process. I had never been given such a genuine check in my entire life and it was cool to see that I did not have anything to worry about anymore. Aiden and I were going to find a way to balance this company and make sure that they don't come between us our relationship. "How we were able to negotiate for certain amount of money is crazyyyy!" I exclaimed as soon as we entered he spent penthouse. There were a whole lot of things that needed to be put into perspective and the fact that he was willing to stick around even though I behaved as if I didn't want him close to me was something that I was never going to forget. In fact I have been very particular about making sure that I am not crossing any major lines. I just wanted to see that everything was completely dealt with and that we did not have too
Devin POV Aiden hated being put on the spot no matter who was involved. In fact it was one of the things that made him even more endearing to me. Nobody was ever going to make him feel like he was trying to get his hands on another person's properties. He was too proud for that. Instead of that he was going to look for a solution that was going to be better for him and anyone involved instead of just fighting for something that he considered trivial. "He's not going to be interested in whatever position you want to give to him and that's one of the reasons I'm comfortable with him being here." I remarked. He wasn't that kind of a person so I was not going to allow anyone try to make him feel less of himself or try to do anything that was going to make me even angry at accepting whatever treatment was about to be thrown at him. I was the one who was concerned with a lot of baggage and I was going to make it as light as possible so that we did not fight over the most stupid thing
Aiden POV As if I knew that this was going to turn into something more of an argument than both of us strength to understand each other I decided to act like a fool so that the both of us did not have any thing to worry about. I was also concerned about the fact that there was going to be a whole lot of listening party is that was not going to make this easy for me For him this was one of those things that he could readily deal with but for me it was something of a vulnerability point of view and I didn't think that I wanted to allow myself to be that lenient with anyone who decided to come in contact with me. I just wanted to become one of those people who did not have anything to worry about and for now it seemed as if there was going to be something difficult for us to handle and I was looking for ways to make sure that I did not remain in that space. The meeting began and even though I didn't think that it was going to yield anything seriously I was pleasantly surprised when
Devin POV "Wait," his commanding voice sent shivers through my spine and I found myself turning instinctively even though I had promised myself that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with this man."I didn't know that you were supposed to meet up with me. Why didn't you use your regular business name and why did you try to change things around? It is almost as if you're just trying to act crazy and I don't think I like it." Aiden responded to me. From what I was hearing right now it was almost as if he knew exactly who I was coming to meet and he was trying to act like he didn't and as much as that would have been romantic to a lot of people it was irritating to me. "I don't think you understand that I'm not in the mood for all of this shenanigans and if you have anything tangible to say you could go ahead and say it instead of trying to beat around the bush and act like everyone here is completely daft. I came here simply because somebody invited me and I have been speaking to thi
Aiden POV I should have realized a long time ago that if there was going to be someone who wanted to bring me out of this dates that I currently was it was only the person who decided that he didn't want anything that was going to stress me out and the only way that I could do that was to focus on him.My delay was the fact that I did not always allow myself to be able to get things to be done at the right time. "You better stop stressing anybody out, and just try to focus on what exactly needed to be done because it was not going to be easy to just sweep under the carpet. If someone is trying to get both of us together then we have to also be very careful so that we don't lose our minds in the process or allow anybody change the trajectory of our growth." I answered. I have been thinking about how long it was going to take to be able to find a better bridge that was not going to stress me out or that was not going to make things even become more harder to get in touch with.

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
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
AIDEN POVI crossed the street without slowing down, eyes on the crowd forming near the curb. My chest tightened with every step, and the air felt thin, like I couldn’t pull it in right no matter how hard I breathed. People were standing around in a circle, talking over each other, making noise tha
