Chapter 43
Jenny’s POV
I 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.

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

Alex’s POVShe feels…. Protected? With me?Somehow that word stirred weird bizarre feelings within me.It was a genuine admission of trust and faith in me that I didn’t take lightly at all, especially coming from her.After everything I’ve put her through and made her feel, and she still manages to find it in her not only to forgive my rudeness earlier but to admit to feeling safe with me as well.This girl is truly one of a kind. A unique and utterly shocking person that always keeps me astonished.I never felt that way around Melanie. With her, everything was predictable and certain. I knew how she thought and how she felt all the time. But with Jenny, there was nothing certain about her at all. She always surprises me with her words and actions, and I find that suspense and unpredictability so intriguing and alluring.“Ok I take it back! I don’t feel protected with you! You&rsqu

Jenny’s POV We arrive to Fairbanks two hours later. Turns out, he has already reserved a suite for us at the hotel before we left Snow. Over confident, smug….. Ass. He carried both our bags and walked inside the huge suite in front of me. I was left completely astonished by the luxurious suite he chose. I should have guessed it would be magnificent. The hotel was one of the best in all of Fairbanks. The suite had a huge living room with a very large tv. A dining room that could fit ten people at least. A master bedroom twice as big as Alex’s room. And don’t even get me started on the bathroom. I wanted to live in there the whole trip and never get out. At least that way, I can avoid whatever Alex still has in store for me on this trip, and I could tell he does because of his so called ‘rules’. He wants the truth from me and I’m not sure I can or want to give it to him. I don’t want him to convince me to take a chance on him, or to live in the moment. Because I’m not sure

But I respected her wishes and waited for her to make the first move.Except she chose to avoid this again and hid in the bathroom.

Jenny’s POV “There is still a chance for you to be with your mother” he said firmly. I was astounded by the seriousness in his voice. Was he testing me? Or did he really mean it? “You think I want you to die so I can finally get my freedom? You really think I would wish for your death? For your family to grieve your loss? For your mom to lose a son after her husband? Just to get out of Snow?” I ask incredulously. “No, I know you wouldn’t wish for something like that. I was merely stating the facts” he said quietly. I looked at him for a long time, trying to comprehend what the hell is going on in his head. “Why would you say something like this Alex? I don’t want anything to ever happen to you, even if that means I have to stay in Snow my whole life” I said emotionally. “You’re okay with being stuck with me for the rest of your life?” he whispered. “You’re not…. That horrible to live with. And your family are so lovable I wouldn’t mind living with all of you. A huge part of wh

Making them seem more magical and enchanting than they already were.She was so alluring at that moment, I wanted to kiss her sweet lips and taste her in everyway I can.She was looking at me in wonder.“Alex, you’re going to miss it” she said shyly as she understood who I was referring to.I smiled at her shyness and turned my head towards the sky.But what I really wanted to do, was keep looking at her face as it reflected her fascination at the beautiful painting in the sky.And I found myself unable to keep my eyes off her as they turned and went back to gazing at her.She could certainly feel my eyes on her, but she tried so hard to act unaffected by it as she kept her eyes glued to the sky.The show lasted for about ten minutes before the lights slowly started to dim down until they disappeared.She turned to me with gratitude as she said excitedly “That was t
