DEVIN’S POV

There was noise everywhere, and I couldn’t even understand half of it. I came down the stairs, half buttoning my shirt, still trying to get my head straight when I heard her crying again. Loud, broken, messy sobs that made no sense. For a second, I froze, thinking maybe something bad had happened, but then I saw her sitting on the couch, her face buried in her palms, her shoulders shaking.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked, trying not to sound irritated but failing anyway. I didn

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 122

    Devin POV Aiden had not even taken any step forward but had already figured out that if we were going to defeat this girl we had to be very careful so that we did not waste all the resources that we had. I didn't have much to say to Stella who had been begging for release. Every time that I had the opportunity to twist things around I was always going to say it as well as I can. There was no need for me to keep fighting or do anything that was out of the ordinary because I believe to he was going to settle it but in the meantime I was also going to take cognizance of the things that actually mattered."You cannot keep me here forever. Somebody is going to be bound to find out what's going on. Don't you think that it's going to backfire on you one of these days and you would have no choice than to dance to the tune that you have been handed over." She said. Her words were only for people who did not understand that she was trying to play in mind game on them and trying to make thin

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 121

    Devin POV I wish different expressions appeared on her face as she tries to make sense of what's going on. "I don't understand anything. You sincerely think that I'm going to be happy covering you up from people who are going to help me deal with you?" I don't make any move instead just keep watching and waiting, if I had to realize that the entire world did not revolve around her hand, and if she wanted anything differently, she just needed to ask as politely as possible."Where is everybody? It almost seems as if you're not seeing things from my own perspective,e and there's nothing I can do to help you with that." I respond, waiting for the shoe to drop. If nobody comes out anytime soon, then I'm going to know that I have made a huge mistake, but in the meantime, I still think that everybody is looking for ways to cook me. "So... "So, what?" She scoffs, looking at me like I'm a complete non-entity. "Everything is going to be taken away from us, courtesy of you. I don't know ho

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 120

    Devin POV Stella's eyes widened when she saw that I was not joking with her. In fact she was bound to lose a lot of things if she didn't cooperate with what I wanted out of life. Her eyes was so close to popping open when she's so festus standing in front of the they were blocking every arena of her escaping. "I never knew that this was something so serious. Why have you been looking for me all around like you miss me that much?" She inquired with a smile. If Stella was trying to get on my nerves she had to do even twice as hard to be able to get any piece of information from me that she could run to the rumor mill to feed them. I had decided a long time ago that I wanted to make sure that everything will made intact. I wasn't going to allow her push me out of character but I wanted to set some ground rules. I didn't think that it was going to be easy to get someone like hard to believe that I was no longer than man she wanted me to be and that she had to be very careful. "Oh r

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 118

    Devin POV I stepped in front of the room with the best confidence that I had ever had in my entire life and it was because of this month standing in front of me acting like everything was going to be all right even when deep down I knew that after the post hide we still had to come to terms with the new reality that will be faced with. We have a person who wants to bring us down at all costs. If we are not being careful we will fall into the trap that has been set in front of us and then we would have no choice than to just go along with whatever they decide for us. I have been in this business for a long time to know that most of the time all the stupidity that was thrown around was based on the fact that people want to be like you yet they can't access that level. Aiden must have picked up on my sentiments because he raised asking a question that I didn't have answers to and for the first time in my life, I just wanted to be on my own. For the most part I had already decided wh

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 117

    Devin POV "Pick up the damn call!" Stella's name pops up on my phone. Stella is stepping on my nerves. "It is either you return home or we allow the press to consume you. I don't think any of this is going to be pleasant to you but what can I say?" Her message dances over my phone screen. Anyone with their head intact will know for sure that Stella has even more sinister plans for me. She might be hurting and my family also doing the same but that doesn't mean that she has forgiven me for causing her grief. She acts as if she's in charge of making sure that she stop the unnecessary attack against my person. If I don't know better I would think that she truly has my best interest at heart but it's on a lie I'm she's looking for ways to get on my nerves even more than she has already done. "Stella get the hell away from me." She doesn't stop instead she keeps typing. "You do not deserve peace. I know that you run away because you're trying to keep your reputation in check. News

    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
