Chapter 38
Jenny’s POV
We stay for a while longer, talking about more general stuff. His hands never leave mine. I found that gesture both confusing and sweet at the same time. It was messing with my head and planting feelings I was fighting to feel or acknowledge. It was also causing me to wonder what he was feeling and whether his gesture was pure innocent instinct to make me feel safe or was it something much deeper and less innocent.
“Shall we go back or do you want to stay a little longer?” he asked quietly after a long stretch of silence between us.
I removed my left hand from his soft grasp and looked at my watch. My eyes widened in surprise when I looked at the time.
“Oh my god! It’s four! I didn’t realize we have been sitting her for so long!” I said in surprise.
He gave me a sweet deep smile as he said “I haven’t realized either. It must be because we had so much to talk about, that time slipped

Alex’s POVI was putting my clothes on while Jenny was taking a shower in the bathroom.While the kiss was beyond anything I was expecting that it left me groaning for more and causing my dick to swell to its full length, I was left worried about her.She seemed to enjoy it a lot and even went for a second kiss with no hesitation, I felt and heard her moan which travelled straight to my dick.But then her expression changed drastically and I almost kicked myself for kissing her so soon. I was supposed to wait and give her time to adjust to me. But, when I got out of the shower and caught her eyes roaming all over my body, when I saw the look of hunger on her face, I couldn’t resist from teasing her about it. And then one thing led to another, and here we are.I was disappointed a little when she shied away from me and refused to open up to me and reveal what was bothering her all of a sudden, I was also dying to know what she was thinki

Jenny’s POV “About what?” I asked tightly. “About me asking for forgiveness for being such a horrible ass to you since you got here?” he said gently. Well, Alex did say he felt guilty but I didn’t believe him for a second then. Now, looking into his eyes which were clearly filled with remorse, I don’t know anymore. I decided to go along with him to see where this will get me. “Would you like a cinnamon roll? They’re freshly baked” I asked softly. It took him a few seconds to respond, obviously stunned that I didn’t yell at him to get away from me. “Sure, I would never pass on a cinnamon roll” he said lightly as he came by and sat on a stool in front of the center counter. I put two pieces on the plate and placed it in front of him. He took a bite and groaned “These are so delicious, I don’t think two is going to be enough” I smiled and said “Well, I made an entire trey for you, while the other on

Alex’s POVI messaged Lucas and told him to head back to the house because I was going to be late and wasn’t going to make it back to the warehouse on time.I surveyed each camera from the day before the wedding and the same day. Those were the only days the shooter could have been smuggled inside in. Because up until those two days, my father was checking the feed regularly and he would have taken some actions if he noticed something suspicious.It took me literally five hours to survey all the feeds from all the five cameras, I was being extra careful not to let anything slip by me so I took my time with them.When the last feed ended, I got up from my stiff position and started walking around the empty warehouse to relieve my sore muscles. I was as confused as I have been; if not more, since I first walked in here looking for a god damn answer.I started analyzing what I saw in those feeds logically, trying to make sense of the lack

Jenny’s POVMegan, April, and I sit in the living room as we chat and talk about different things.It was very nice having Megan over and having a good time again after a very long period of hurt and sadness.Diana joins us at one point as she introduces herself to Megan and sits with us for a while before excusing herself to go help Sara with lunch.She invited Megan to stay for lunch but Megan promised her to stay another time.Even Lucas made a small appearance when he noticed an unfamiliar guest in the living room.I introduced them to each other and I noticed how Lucas was checking her out and Megan did not like that action one bit as she pursed her lips and practically glared at him until he looked away.Suffice it to say he was too nervous to sit with us as Megan made it clear that he wasn’t welcomed to, so he left briefly after the introduction.“April seems really nice, I’m glad you have each ot

Jenny’s POVI was pacing back and forth nervously in my room.It was ten thirty at night and Alex still hasn’t returned home since morning.He’s been gone all day long.He missed both lunch and dinner, which was something very uncommon of him according to his mom.I didn’t know what to make of that disappearance.Was he looking for the real killer? Or was it that he found him and was late taking care of him?Wouldn’t he have mentioned anything to Lucas too?But he obviously didn’t, because Lucas looked as surprised as the rest of us when Alex called his cell to inform him that he was returning home late and not to wait up for him.The more pressing question here is, why the hell was I feeling worried for him? It was none of my business to feel that way.He can be out with another woman for all I care! I shouldn’t be concerned about him!But dammit I was.And

Alex’s POVI have to admit, I was in a pretty shitty and dark mode. But the moment I was left alone with Jenny, I felt a little lighter and less off balance.She brought joy inside me whenever I talked to her.Whether she is being serious, emotional, angry, shy, even when she is being brutally honest and mean she still manages to change my mood instantly.She was very intriguing to me, and I never wanted to miss a chance to tease her, talk to her, listen to her, and hear her funny and witty retorts she always directs at me.This time she was left speechless though.She got caught in a lie and she was too innocent to covert it up or deny it again. It brought a wave of adoration inside me.She was up late waiting for me. It made me happy and excited that she was thinking about me, worried even.Who would have thought the girl who hated my guts a few days ago, was now worried about me?Our feelings for each other were

Alex’s POVI was so drained and tired, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow that night.But I woke up earlier than usual. My mind was still spinning with so many details about the plan I sat all day yesterday developing on my own to lure my uncle back into town on his own.I couldn’t leave Snow and go to Canada to end him myself, I needed him to come to me. To face all of us when he admits that he killed his brother for power. I wanted him to die here, in the same place where he buried his brother with his own hands. He killed him and grieved at his funeral! It couldn’t get anymore degrading and disgusting than that.The plan was risky as hell. But I couldn’t think of a better safer one.I couldn’t tell anyone about it until the day it has to be carried on in, not even Lucas. Especially not Lucas.If he finds out that David was not being honest with us, he will tear him limb from limb on the spot. He

Jenny’s POVEnjoy the ride?How about you enjoy kissing my ass instead?It’s a good thing I was too angry to talk back at him the moment he started driving away from the house.I’m sure he wouldn’t mind taking me up on my metaphorical suggestion.I put my seatbelt on forcibly and crossed my arms against my chest while trying to keep my tears at bay.He knew exactly how much I hated being forced into something and he still did that to me again.Why?I pushed back my tears so I don’t appear so vulnerable and ask him.“You know how much I hate being forced into something, and you still did it anyway. I thought you weren’t going to hurt me again Alex. Isn’t that what you promised me two nights ago?” I asked him reproachfully.I saw his hand gripping the steering wheel tightly and his jaw clenching in a hard way.It took him a while to talk and I thought he w
