Jack Cole's POV

I walked into the big room where the meeting was happening. It was a very large room with bright lights on the ceiling. The lights made everything look clear and sharp. The room was full of noise. It was the sound of many people all talking at the same time. It was the sound of people moving around in their chairs. It was the sound of cameras being turned on and tested.

Reporters and people with cameras were everywhere. They were all pushed together. They were all trying to get to the front of the room. They all wanted to see the two mayors. They all wanted to hear about the new plan. This plan was for a big new road between our state and the next state. This project had been in the newspapers and on television for many months. Everyone knew about it. Everyone was watching to see what would happen today. All eyes were on this room.

I looked across the room and saw him. The other mayor was already there. He was not on the stage yet. He was standing with his group of

  • Broken Then Desired    Chapter 80: Detention

    POV - KELSEYMy phone was hot in my hands under the desk. I watched the video again. And again. My teeth were gritted so tight my jaw hurt.There they were. Scarlett and Ayden. Up on his shoulders in that stupid cafe, laughing like hyenas. Her stupid dark hair flying everywhere. Him looking up at her like she was the best thing he’d ever seen. They looked like an actual couple. A happy one.Everything about those two was getting on my last nerve. Especially that black-hearted bitch, Scarlett. Who did she think she was, coming in here with her “mysterious” act and taking Ayden’s attention? He used to look at me. Now he looks at her like she’s a piece of candy.I’ve been wanting a fight.. My fingers have been itching for it. All this quiet anger has been bubbling inside me, looking for a way out. She's not going to win this fight against me like previous times but well she hasn’t been in school all morning. Not one class. And guess who else was missing? Ayden. No sign of him either. It

  • Broken Then Desired    chapter 79: Lewd

    POV - VICTORI watched the scene at my front gate with cold, simmering anger. Jack Cole, red-faced and spitting insults. Him slapping me, a pathetic, weak move from a pathetic, weak man. I took it. Let him have his little moment. It only made him look more foolish.Then, my men moved in from the side, pushing a tall figure forward. My eyes narrowed. It was the boy from last night. The one with his hands on Scarlett. Ayden. Of course. Just as I processed this, the front door behind me opened.Scarlett stepped out. She didn’t look scared. She had that defiant set to her jaw. She shrugged and pointed right at the boy, like she was presenting a gift. Or a problem.I thought I understood. Look what followed me home. Now deal with it.But then Jack Cole turned. He saw his son. His face, already purple with rage, went almost black. “Ayden Cole!” he thundered. His voice cracked across my driveway. “Should you not be in school? Why are you hell-bent on embarrassing me in every fucking place I

  • Broken Then Desired    chapter 78: Let me go

    POV - SCARLETT I smacked my hand right against my forehead the second I saw them grab him. Idiot! I’d been watching the whole disaster from my bedroom window. Let me rewind. This morning, I was desperate. I just wanted to get to school. Anything to escape this house. The air here was so thick and heavy I could barely breathe. Last night... last night was a crazy mess. The fight with Victor, that angry, hungry kiss right after, and then Jaxon, just sitting there in the dark, seeing and hearing it all. I hadn’t been able to look at him this morning. I couldn’t say a single word. I thought, I have to get out. I got dressed for school, my heart beating fast with a plan. I’d sneak out. How hard could it be? I made it past my door, quiet as a mouse. I tiptoed down the big staircase, my hand on the cool railing. I slipped through the huge, quiet living room. So far, so good. My heart lifted. The front door was right there. Freedom. I reached for the big, shiny handle. “Going so

  • Broken Then Desired    Chapter 77: You moron

    POV AYDEN I was crouched behind the big landscaping truck, my heart pounding a hole in my chest. The cold from the ground was seeping through my jeans. I watched as my dad’s car pulled up to the iron gates of Victor Blackwood’s fortress. But something was off. Really off. My dad was driving himself. That was weird. He always had Henry, his driver, take him everywhere, especially to important or stressful places. But there he was, alone behind the wheel of his black town car. He looked small and tense inside the big car. He killed the engine and just sat there for a moment, his head bowed like he was praying, or maybe trying not to be sick. While I watched, frozen, my dad’s door opened. He didn't get out right away. He looked around, his eyes darting like a scared animal's. He saw the guards at the gate, two big men talking to each other, their backs partly turned. For a second, they were distracted. That’s when my dad did something I’d never seen him do. He crouched low, alm

  • Broken Then Desired    Chapter 76: The fortress

    POV - AYDEN COLE Walking into school felt like walking into a buzzing beehive. The noise was everywhere. I heard whispers and stupid laughs around every corner. I saw kids huddled together, passing phones around, their eyes wide. I didn't need to ask anyone what they were talking about. I already knew. The video from last night at the cafe had gone viral. It was all over the place by now. Big surprise. Honestly? I didn't even care about that. Let them all talk. Let them all laugh and point. I had way bigger, way heavier things filling up my mind. My head wasn't full of stupid school gossip. It was full of one name, hammering over and over like a drumbeat: Victor Blackwood. And the girl who was with him. Scarlett. I stalked down the main hall like a hunter. My eyes scanned every face in the crowd, checked every corner. People saw me coming and moved out of my way fast. I guess I looked as angry and dark as I felt on the inside. I was searching for one single person. Just her. Scarle

  • Broken Then Desired    Chapter 75: The incident

    POV JACK COLE The morning light felt all wrong. It was the kind of day that feels heavy even before you open your eyes. Something was off. I could feel it in my bones, like a low, quiet hum of trouble. A bad feeling. But I couldn't name it. I just couldn't put my finger on what the problem was. Trying to shake off the weird feeling, I pushed myself out of bed. My body felt stiff and old. Today was supposed to be a big day. My first proper day back at real work since… well, since the whole world saw me fall apart on live television. My meltdown. I went to my closet. I put on my best suit, the grey one. It still fit, even though I’d lost some weight from worry. I skipped breakfast. My stomach was in too many tight knots for food. Walking to the front door, I grabbed my briefcase. Out of habit, I glanced out the big window by the door. I looked at the driveway. It was empty. Ayden’s car was gone. “Useless,” I muttered to myself. The word tasted bitter in my mouth. off to school o
