Devin POV

"He's back in the country and he's staying in a hotel for the meantime," Timone informed me as soon as he came into the house.

Aiden was getting on my nerves. Even though he wanted both of us to come together and work as a team, I didn't think that it would be better for us to do that when we could just stay in our separate ways and pretend like neither of us ever existed.

If he was also looking for something to achieve, then he had to work twice as hard to be able to get it and st

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 149

    Devin POV I will never be caught even if it's not on purpose during something that's going to ruin my reputation on the blogs or and the media and it's going to take quite a lot of time before I finally get to a point where I don't no longer care about what people think about me. I have already found a way of making sure that there is never going to be more complications than we already have because it has a way of dealing wildling with me and I'm not pretty sure that I want to continue this way instead I'm going to look for a better means I had already found my way to make sure that everything rhymed in such a way that I would not have to lose my mind in the process but nobody prepared me for the reality of waiting here and there before I finally I'm able to build something great that's not going to you unnecessary stress. My saving grace for whatever I was trying to build is the fact that I have already been able to convert most of the people that came my way see the things that

    Devin POV I didn't think that I could function without having somebody in my corner but from what I had seen I realized that I kept underestimating myself and it would do me no good if I kept up this way. Secondly there was bound to be disagreement and it was my discretion to make sure that it did not keep happening all the time. It was going to save me from unnecessary stress and make it not cumbersome anymore. I took another long breath. I had found an idea that was going to stand the test of time. Nothing was going to shake it off no matter how much they tried. I was also going to make sure that I didn't allow myself to be bothered to the point where I could no longer fight. I lay in bed this time with more clarity than ever. If it was before I knew that festus we have been a catalyst for change and making sure that the both of us were fine but now I have to pick up the pieces of myself without being a wimp. Obviously too, I should be thinking about the risks that had alrea

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 147

    Devin POV The best way to become the best version of yourself is to make sure that you don’t become the different person that others love to be with. Convenience was the bane of everyone’s existence. Firstly, it was because there was going to become even better and there wasn’t going to be anyone who would have a second look at what was going on. I have already found the next ideas to use on festus but I would also be a bit worried if I don’t do anything that’s going to cut me off strong and deep.Aiden locks eyes with me already, “I have a lot of things on my plate. Festus isn’t going to stop me at all.” “I don’t have anything that might be palatable enough for people to come in contact with. It’s a whole lot for us to be able to find someone who’s loyal to the end.” He said in frustration. I refused to allow myself to accept the annoyance that was slipping from his lips. I opened my mouth to start the explanation but ended up having to do something else entirely. “My mind ha

    Devin POV I didn't care about the any of the mistakes that must have come up in the last time. "Shuffle the papers before it's too late." I barked the orders at festus who looked like he was having a hard time breathing.He had bitten more than he could chew of course, why wasn't he going to be afraid of the consequences?Festus blinked twice, catching me off guard. "You should not make certain statements except you can prove it!" I honestly had no reason to be afraid of anybody and what this was going to bring but I had also come to realize that the only way that I couldn't beat the traffic of people trying to kill me was to pretend like everything was not going wrong. I should be careful about the kind of things that I've been waiting to my space because it has the ability to break or make me whole. Festus cocked his head sideways, assessing me in a way that I would not have a liked but I have no choice and to just listen to him and wait for him to realize that most of these thin

    Devin POV Twenty days pass again and I'm even in a more damning state than before. My eyes hover across the screen. To hell with the notion that I didn't want to have anything to do with Aiden. I was basically rotting all over here, looking or easy to stop my see from going mad."Hey, I thought that you'd be here and you didn't disappoint me." Festus poked his head in, watching me with a measured glance. His eyes were basically unreadable and all that I could do was to hesitate to see what he was up to this time. "You didn't have to worry about anything. I was trying to see if you hadn't killed yourself yet, you know since you've been holding up in there." He continued, I heard a hint of laughter underneath his tone but I would rather focus on something different entirely than this. "Is this why you came to me or you have bad news?" I rebuffed, refusing to be a charity case. I was yet to speak to Stella and even though everything that exploded into ruins, I think that sge deserv

  • Appealing To His Gaze    Chapter 144

    Aiden POV I watched festus teeth become even more agitated than he had ever been and it seemed like it was the one on the hot seat as we traveled all the way to the lawyers office.What most of them didn't know was that I kept a background check running on everybody that came in contact with me and I was not going to allow that to be a mistake that anybody else had made in the past. If anybody was going to catch me on a wedding to do more than enough just to make sure that you know find out what they were up to but this time around my gut feeling kept telling me that I needed to check into this man who pretended to like me enough then I should have ever wanted. "So there is something going on and I think that you should be aware of it. Stella has been reaching out to me and has been threatening that I give her information about both of you or else she's going to reach out to you and sabotage a plan that is basically non-existent and I wonder what she intends to gain from something

    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
