JAGGED CHAPTER 43
DEVONNE’S POV“You have got to be kidding me” I muttered as I let my head hang on my hand. “I wish I was My love but, sadly I’m not” he replied and I frowned, raising my head back up, I saw that it was Nathan standing there hands in his pockets and not Arian. Arian could call me many things, hell, he even called me mate but not love, never love. I took a deep breath ignoring the fact that my heart had jumped when I thought he was the one standing there. I wonder if he knew what had gone down with me recently. Was he even checking? Did he really care? Since I got back I have often found my self wondering if he had really meant it when he said he wanted me, that he wanted to learn to love me. I shook my head, I was being foolish. I blame this on the fact that I have only ever loved one man. “Are you alright?” Nathan asked, his face portraying his concern. “I’m fine” I said smiling to show him that I meant it. “They said they’ll be keeping Josh here for a couple of days, to observe

DEVONNE’S POV“I wasn’t sure what to make so I made Bacon and Eggs with some herbal tea” Nathan said as he shouldered his way into my room with a tray about an hour later. I opened one eye and shut it back. “I know you’re awake Devonne” he chuckled. I sighed and tried to sit up, he quickly set the tray on the table and rushed to help me up “It was just one spell, why are the effects so adverse” I grumbled. “You brought someone back to life, however the fuck you were able to do that. Now I’m not the most versed in all things witchy but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to lose your life to give another life” “A spell so powerful it can only be used once” I muttered, recalling the strange lady’s words, “that’s why my mother had looked so surprised” “You also have tales to tell” He said, placing the tray of food on my lap. “Yeah, I guess” he sat beside me on the bed, as I began to eat “I hate herbal tea, why’d you have to make herbal tea?” “Because it will help you with the pain and

ARIAN’S POV“Well?” Edward asked expectantly as I got into the car. “First off, she looks terrible” I said, “secondly I didn’t think seeing her would affect me so much, I didn’t expect it, it was like a blow to the stomach” I breathed. He just grunted and cranked up the car, peeling away from Devonne’s driveway. I cast a sidelong look at him, “Edward?” “Hm?” “Do you think you can forgive me for what happened to Margot?” “I don’t want to talk about that now Arian” “you never do…” “then just let it be” So I did. “You didn’t tell Devonne about how we lost Her did you?” I asked again and only a growl answered. DEVONNE’S POVWhen my Mom came into the living room with a plate filled with pancakes, she met just me, glaring at her hard ebnoigh that my head hurt from the intensity of my stare. “Oh Devonne don’t look at me like that…. I was just so excited that you were finally moving on after Lucas, although I did think it was gonna be Nathan though, he’s such a sweet boy, but Adrian” “A

DEVONNE’S POVMY Dad came by later at night, Nathan in tow, looking very exhausted. I had my Mom move me downstairs again for dinner and so I could watch TV. “Where have you two been?” I asked in an accusatory tone “we had some work to take care of” my Dad replied. “I need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dad” I told him and he sighed “can we….. talk about this tomorrow? I’m sorry Dev but I’m beat and I really need to start heading home now”. I frowned at him “aren’t you gonna stay here?” He cleared his throat awkwardly “uhm, no….I ah. I just have to go” “Me too” my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. “I’ll stay here with you Devonne, I don’t have anything doing at home anyway” Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. “They haven’t rested at all Devonne” and I immediately felt guilty. “Okay” I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone
JAGGED CHAPTER 1
I was a child again, feeling his dirty hands on me, groping at my clothes while forcing my legs apart. The image shifted and I was driving a knife into his body over and over and over again I woke up gasping for breath, it’s really crazy how These nightmares started again a month ago, so I’ve been drowning myself in wine and men, it helps for the most part, but it is crazy. First thing I noticed after jerking awake was the killer headache I was sporting, second thing I noticed, was that there was a stranger in my bed. I stared long and hard at his face…. what was his name again? Jake? …..Zeke? Ugh dang it! “Hey wake up!” I said while shaking him violently, “ Hey babe” came the reply, I was staring at brown eyes and the brown eyes were roaming my naked body. Le sigh, we’re doing this again. “Call me babe one more time and I just might pluck out those eyes of yours, check the drawer on your side of the bed, get some cash and get the hell out of my building” I said, slowly and softly
JAGGED CHAPTER 2
I whirled ready to lash out at whoever it was, only to stop dead when I saw who it was, He was something straight out of a fantasy novel, he had this slight tan thing going for him, and the tux he wore did nothing to hide how toned his body was, I had to tilt my head backwards a bit to get a good look at his face, he had honey brown eyes and a very defined jawline and Dark hair, I’d have really hated it if he were blonde, no offense to my mother. “ You’re drooling Princess”“Get your own wine peasant” I shot back, he took a step forward and I took one back, knowing My back would hit the balcony if I went back any further and I think he knew it too because he took two steps forward, trapping me between his hard body and the balcony, I scowled up at him to find him smirking down at me. “You don’t happen to be Devonne Ivy Marchetti now do you?” “Of course I’m Devonne, everyone in Goddamned Cali knows that”“Cocky isn’t she?” He chuckled a little to darkly for my liking, but my body se

“Also I drew up the papers for the contract, I mailed it to you. And also I brought in the papers you need to sign from our other companies, I mailed you the ones from abroad for approval”“Thank you Sansa, that’ll be all for now, I think you should take the rest of the day off, you’ve outdone yourself today plus it is your birthday so…….” she was smiling at this point, Sansa had only worked with me for a year, but somehow she had managed to be the best and has evaded anything that would lead to her being fired. I rummaged through my drawers and found the box. I am really awful at wrapping boxes, but I did try anyway. “Don’t open it until your outside” I instructed with a straight face and then added a “happy birthday” with a softer smile. I followed her out to the parking lot and watch from a distance as she opened the box, I could make out a gasping sound from her. She brought out the keys and pressed the button, my heart almost broke for her as I watched her crumble to the grou
JAGGED CHAPTER 4
“Good Morning Devonne” I jerked awake and squinted at the person, it was Sansa, I had slept in…..in my office! I shut off the music and rubbed my eyes. “Morning Sansa, how’d you enjoy your new gift” I asked, struggling against a yawn.“I enjoyed it very much Devonne, thank you” she said while dropping a cup of steaming hot coffee and a bagel on a plate on my table. I was about congratulating myself for managing to sort through half of my paperwork when Sansa interrupted my thoughts“Devonne, is 9 am already, you are supposed to have a meeting with Edward right about now and he has arrived, I did ask him to give you thirty minutes to have your breakfast though”“Thank you Sansa, I’ll get ready now” I said, dismissing her. I know I called it a lounge earlier, but it really is just a bedroom with just about everything I need, including but not limited to a kitchen. I took a quick warm shower before sorting out my outfit. I chose a baby blue blazer skirt and jacket, the skirt and jac
