ВойтиDevin POV I should have been expecting a level of disappointment especially from the way everybody had decided to make things look when they wanted to get something from you but I kind of figured out that he was going to be different. I didn't know that I was only deceiving myself into thinking that festus was a good guy and now that the cat was finally out of the bag there was no need for us to keep pretending. My best foot would be to keep quiet and pretend like I do not even have a clue about what is going on because this could all be Aiden's move. Stella might also have gotten involved one way or the other and I'm only waiting for the best time for me to finally get out. "Did you know that she tried to come onto me and thinking that I'm not going to figure it that she's nothing but an idiot." Festus complained. "I don't care about anything but I initially put everything else on hold. If you're willing to walk the long rope, then you should also be ready to make this necessar
Devin POV Festus came into the building with an attitude that I did not understand. I had not sent him on a recent errand but here it was acting like I had done something wrong which I was not aware. "Do you know that he's not budging from his stance. It is almost if there's no need for us to waste much time and if I'm not being careful, I am going to entertain the wrong crowd which is the last thing that I want." He explained. I had absolutely no problem with that the only reason that I was here was to make sure that I did not allow myself to become deeply entrenched in something else. "Do you even have the slightest idea about how long this is going to take before it becomes a fully blown problem that nobody can be able to fix?" I inquired impassively. If he had any sense he would not that I was only just block finger but he could not rely on my words but I guess he still wanted to try his luck to see if I meant a thing. Festus removed his jacket and took a seat. "You don't kn
Devin POV My eyes refused to pop open immediately after the words had been translated to me. It is not that we do bad . I was starting to think of other solitudes that could help but nothing clicked in my head. Instead I was left with a myriad of people trying to chase something different. Festus dropped a brown envelope on my table, his head popping out of his eyes as he stared at me."I'm not feeling anything strange, I feel like you're holding out information on me on purpose and while that might be a good thing, I can't guarantee that there would not be casualties instead, I perceive that it would take a lot of time to be able to get to the point where..."I held a finger up, silencing him from acting further strange. I would not be subjected to a life of stupidity especially when I could prevent it. I had my foot neck deep in something else that was supposed to hold water but for some reason, there was something else that I was trying to achieve and none of it was working for m
Aiden POV I have always longed to tell my side of the story without being too involved in anything that was going to make me look or sound emotional but from where I was standing right now it seemed like I was going to be involved in this trap. I have also come to realize that the only thing that I lacking henceforth just making sure that I do not have enough protection that keeps me away from the bad guys. Festus has proven to be a good ally, but that doesn't also change the fact that he has a lot of character development to do and unto God has been done I cannot just fall into the mistakes that he has plunged. I have a right to decide whatever I want to do around so that has been competitive taking care of he was going to find a better way of handling his issues. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I kept quiet still trying to figure out if this was the right path or I was just doing something out of turn. One of the major reasons that are kept myself away from drama was because I
Aiden POV I have never experienced this amount of misunderstanding in my entire life and this was too much for me to handle but at the same time I was trying to figure out if I was trust over reacting or if I was right. I should never have allowed myself to get entangled to the point where now every of my words were taken out of context and described to mean something else entirely. How was I supposed to prove that this was just me trying to be as easygoing as I could? If I had the simplest idea that this was going to fall apart just at once I would never have taken the chance in the beginning. I would instead have made it possible for myself to be able to retract when it was no longer serving me. I should not have also allowed myself to be pressured into doing something that was beyond my control. I believe that if I was supposed to be meeting any effort then it was not real which was quite the opposite of what I should be feeling. Devin had already made peace with the idea th
Devin POV I headed home out of anger but I couldn't help but ask myself if I was just overreacting. To some extent festus was right but I didn't also want to admit to myself that I had made a mistake of being too concerned about what somebody thought about me. It was in fact supposed to be something that I had found a balance on how to just deal with it without too much drama but here I was still engaging myself in many issues. I wasn't concerned about what anybody was going to bring to me instead I was concerned about what this meant and how I was supposed to deal with it. A whole lot of things have been happening and if I was being honest with myself I didn't need anything that was going to complicate it further than it already was. I took a deep breath and inhaled before reaching out to my bottle of whiskey. That was the only true friend that I had at the moment and the risk people were just nothing but liars trying to parade themselves like they were true. At some point I a
DEVIN’S POVThe day dragged on, and it did not want to end. I had been on calls since dawn, trying to fix all that went wrong in the last twenty-four hours. My head ached, my shoulders hurt, and two people who hated the very sight of each other deserved more room than this hotel room provided. Aide
DEVIN’S POV.I woke up pissed. My head was pounding, and my chest felt tight, like I’d been grinding my teeth all night. I probably had. I barely got two hours of sleep. Every time I shut my eyes, that smug look on Aiden’s face came back. I’d let him get to me twice now, and that wasn’t something I
DEVIN’S POVI couldn’t stop pacing. Every part of this situation was messed up. Stella had gone behind my back and called my father before even talking to me. It was supposed to be our marriage, our issue, but apparently, that didn’t matter anymore. I couldn’t tell what she was trying to prove. May
ADRIEN’S POVI didn’t even bother knocking. The front door was open, and my sister’s voice had sounded weird on the phone so awkwardly shaky nearly damn desperate so I just walked in. The house was quiet. When I stepped into the living room and saw him standing there, I froze as lines of frowns mar
