Aiden POV

I was outside as soon as I heard the commotion. I wasn't expecting that both of them were going to trade blows but I guess sometimes, you cannot predict what a person is capable of doing except they've been faced with a situation where they have to prove themselves.

I didn't have anything to worry about in fact I had already figured out that if I wanted to do anything based on my own decision it had to be carefully taking care of.

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 134

    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

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 132

    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

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 131

    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

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 130

    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

I didn't have anything to worry about in fact I had already figured out that if I wanted to do anything based on my own decision it had to be carefully taking care of. I wasn't going to allow myself to be drag into any complication that was not going to be sensible enough. I should have thought about it carefully before dumping it on Devin. Now festus had no choice and to tell him the truth I probably got on his nerve which shouldn't have. "Oh you think you have the audacity to speak to me however you like? You think that I'm not going to do anything that's going to contradict what you have currently shown me?" Festus returned in anger. Okay he was stepping too far but I wanted to see how far both of them c

    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
