Mag-log inFinn’s PovSomething didn't seem right. Everything happened way too fast and it became almost too easy to be able to identify what had happened. Knox had a hand. I had been thinking about it, but the more I pondered it, the more I saw signs that Knox had done something to get me fired. I was scared. If that was the case, I wasn't sure that was a good sign. A small sigh left my lips and I immediately exhaled. I didn't even know where to start at this point. I shook my head and then turned to him. “Are you alright? Seems like something's bothering you?” He held my chin gently as he stared at me. I pressed my lips into a humble smile. “Nothing’s bothering me, there's no need for you to worry, okay?” I blinked, confused. I didn't even know what else to do at this point. I exhaled and tried my best to be able to understand what was going on. “
Knox’s povI smiled, my brows raised with concern. Wasn't I the one who raised concerns about him working? Why was I suddenly bothered about everything that was happening?I pressed my lips into a tight line and immediately shook my head.“Are you sure it's what you want?”He furrowed his brows, crossing his arms over his chest with a small look on his face.“Are you serious? You wanted to give me an offer when I tried to work with someone else. Now, I'm taking it and you're surprised, don't even get me started with all you're doing.”I blinked.“I was just shocked you took it right off the bat. I mean, it was new to me.”He squinted his eyes.“New to you? I am willing to take what works. Besides, looking for another job would be something else, don't you think?”I forced a smile on my face and nodded. I could tell he wasn't happy with what was going on, but at the end of the day, I still got what I wanted.“How about a dollar a day?”Finn blinked. “That's way too much!”I was stunned
Finn’s PovMy heart raced and I blinked like I didn't want to believe what he said but the evidence was before my eyes. He was right. He didn't need new employees. His shop was undergoing reconstruction, and there was nothing he could do about it. A small smile formed on my lips before I walked out of there. However, the smile on my lips couldn't compare to the heaviness I felt inside my heart.This was one job I was looking forward to and just like that, it had slipped out of my hands.How was I supposed to save now? I exhaled, dragging my foot against the hard floor as I walked back home.By the time I got back home, I noticed the expression on his face.“You’re actually back home early, what happened?” I ignored him and headed straight to the only couch in the sitting room.“Yes, I did. I was let off work.”His eyes widened, and he hummed. “Why did you do something wrong?”
Finn’s PovI watched all he did and I could tell he did them on purpose. All he wanted was to show me he was right while I was wrong. Well, I was never going to give him that chance. Not now, not ever! “Sorry, Knox,” I said, and he flashed a smile. He probably thought he had won. “But I've already started and I wouldn't want to disappoint old man Phil. You'd just have to get used to me going off to work. I'd probably ask him if I can close earlier than usual, but you need to learn to stay on your own, okay?” He frowned, and a small smile formed on my lips. The look he gave me was priceless. “So you're going there tomorrow? You're going to leave me all alone?” He turned to my mother who was already seated at the table. “Yes, I am. I would have loved you to come with me, but I wouldn't want to stress you over anything.” I clenched my teeth. I hated the fact that he was acting li
Knox’s PovI gritted my teeth and clenched my hands as tight as I could. Why the hell would he do that? I thought he was bluffing. I thought he was going to come back, but I was wrong. I paced around the room when I saw it was evening and he still hadn't responded. “I hate that it's making me worry.” I was still trying to think about what to do when I heard the door open. I snapped my head over to the door and the worry in my gaze became fury. “Ugh!” I clenched my hands as tightly as I could and was breathing hard. “Where the hell have you been? You didn't even let me finish my conversation with you in the morning before you…” I trailed off because he walked past where I stood. The expression on my face was dark and I tried my best to not overreact. “Is this what it has come to? You don't even listen to me anymore. Why would you even do that?” I asked with raised brows, fol
Finn’s Pov“What did you just say?” I nodded. “Yes. Yes mom. I want to work so I can assist you. I've seen the way you struggle and I want to help.” She sighed. “You're already doing enough. You have your life to worry about, right? There's no need to actually worry.” I shook my head. “But I'm worried. I know you're working hard and it makes me feel like a bad son if…”She shook her head. “You're not a bad son. You've done all you can and I'm proud of you. You gave me your prize money and I'm happy that you did.”I sighed. “You're my mother. I always want to be able to assist you. I know we aren't where we are supposed to be, but we can do it together.”“Good morning.”My eyes widened, and my heart skipped a beat. I didn't need anyone to confirm who had just appeared behind me.“Knox, you're awake?” He nodded. “Yes ma'am. How was your night?”Mom flashed a smile while I turned towards Knox. I had been so stiff, I had forgotten to actually turn to him.“Finn was telling me about
KNOX’S POV“What do you want, Knox? Tell me, and I’ll give it to you if it means this stops.”I paused with my hand on the doorknob, the cool metal biting into my palm. I didn't turn around. I didn't want to see the desperation in his eyes, because looking at it made my own blood simmer with posse
Knox’s PovIt is hate at first sight.For him, for everything that surrounded him.“I have what you need,” Ace said, his smile eager as he dropped the folder beside me. I smirked as I stared at it, “That was a nice touch with the bander, how did you get that information?”He smirked, perking up at
