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 c

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 184

    Devin POV I turned around to see what exactly was going on. These cops would not just barge into my house except they had good reason to and I wanted to believe that this was all part of a plan that they were trying to keep in perspective. While I might have a lot of discrepancies about what was going on I kind of figured out that it would be best to allowed and do their job and do it the best way that they could come up with instead of trying to make a scene out of it. "Mr. Dominique has been a wanted fellow for the longest time and it's a pity that he came over here to hide thinking that we will not be able to find him." One of the cops explained to me. Since this was not going to be my issue I simply stepped backwards and do not allow anybody to come between what I had built for myself and a reputation that I was struggling to keep pristine. No one had the audacity to tell me the things that I showed indulge in or not so it made it very easy for me to just stay away from more

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 183

    Devin POV Dominique move forward with a smile on his face helping that he would be able to convince me that he was one of the good guys but didn't understand that I was only just playing his game because I wanted to get money information from him and the best way to deal with such people was to pretend like you were oblivious. If I acted as if I understood what he was trying to do he would be able to run away from me I'm not giving me the full information that I wanted to get and that exactly was how to read and enemy that could never be found. He had successfully run away from everybody for the longest time so tell me why exactly is would not take him long enough to be able to cause more chaos. I also believed that there was going to be a difference between me and the people who decided to make a whole lot of issues out of nothing because it made it even easier for us to be able to move out and not do anything. I was also thinking about the most conventional path to be able to m

    Aiden POV Sometimes I would never understand what was going through devin's mind. It was almost as if he just wanted to see me suffer with worrying about him. It wasn't every time that I was able to find somebody who was able to think the same way that I was thinking about them and it was okay for me. In fact I was even bothered about many other things different from what was running through his mind and I thought that to some extent he'll be able to understand and just let me have some peace and quiet. "What exactly is it doing with your enemy?" My friend asked me. I shrugged nonchalantly but that didn't mean that my head was not still booming with a whole lot of things and I was trying to figure out if this was the best path for me to tread. There was a whole lot of difference between me and a lot of people and I didn't want to have anyone's blood on my hands because then to be a legal ground for people to be able to point silly fingers at me which was not even my idea and the

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 181

    Devin POV He's moment of telling me off was not the problem here in fact I didn't think that I had it in mind not to listen to sound advise but in fact that he wanted to change or push me into doing the things that I didn't not want to do was the most annoying. Even if Dominic was trying to tear my company into so I was still going to find more joy relying on him and hoping that he didn't go crazy much like that than to rely on aiding rules bordering on obsession. It seemed as though he had a lot of things that he wanted to prove to himself and as much as that would have been nice to the next person I felt like it was too much for him to ask of me and I was not going to give him that level of Honor. Instead I was going to look for ways to make sure that I was on my right senses and that nothing was going to bring you back to the place where I had vowed that I was no longer going to get involved with. "You better be careful if you don't want any more issues than you already have b

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 180

    Aiden POV "He said what? Did he even realize that you were ever going to come tell me exactly the stupid things that he had said? If I were him I would have realized a long time ago that I stood no chance but it seems as though he just wants to sleep with you." I said with a little growl. Sometimes when people made such careless statements it was simply because they wanted to have their way with a lot of things but it was not forthcoming so they decided to resort to something stupid because I would never understand how someone in their right senses would want to push me away from a place that I have always been in. Was he trying to tell me that he never figured out that I was going to know what his endgame was? "Look I didn't tell you any of these things for you to start acting crazy or doing something that's going to land us in more trouble than we already have." He announced. Devin was a quiet person who didn't think that people possess the abilities to act crazy and I sometime

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 178

    Devin POV I should never have had the need to pursue anything except the opportunity presented itself but from what I had started seeing, I was beginning to learn that there was even a whole lot more attached to this and it was all behind my back. I needed to be very acquainted with it just so that I did not fall victim to the circumstances. "So... I have been able to make an arrangement that's going to last for the longest time but it seems as though you are finding it difficult to be able to catch up." Dominique told me with a little smile on his face when I appeared before him. It was going to take a long time to be able to convince him otherwise but in the meantime I also wanted to relax so that I did not fall victim to the mistakes that were happening or around. "I don't really care about most of the issues that have been popping up so I was a father and went straight to the point so that we don't waste our time trying to make sure they are effective enough. I was also at t

    AIDEN'S POVI woke up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all, my head pounding, my chest tight, my mouth dry. I didn’t even know what time it was; I just knew Marcus wasn’t beside me. The spot beside me was warm, so he’d been there, but his stuff was gone and for a second my stomach dropped because I t

    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

    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
