บททั้งหมดของ SHE'S MINE ALONE: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

JIMMY'S POV My stomach churned in bitterly as Kelvin walked down to the breakfast table. His presence ruined my appetite and it was ruining my entire morning as well. I needed to get as far away from him as possible. I felt like smashing his mouth on the table so hard that he'd never get to kiss granny again. He annoyed the shit in me. And that fake smile we pulled on every time, all just for granny's sake, had me sick. I mouthed my annoyance to my mother who was seated next to me. She for one never liked Kelvin, she parted my shoulder, her gaze calming. Kelvin had managed to escape despite granny's insistent efforts to stop him until he ate enough. I thought to leave too, besides, I had just lost my appetite. It was no surprise that granny would try to stop me too,but I had an excuse too. "I'm late for my class too" With that,I cheek-kissed the two laddies and hurry down to the front yard. Kelvin was already in his car,a phone against his ear as he drove out of the

JIMMY'S POV Evening drew near and night took hold. I was in my room, butt planted on the couch, my guitar clutched in my arm,fingers hovering gently over the strings into a perfect rythm. My voice was low and thick with emotion as a melody played in my mind. It was a strange yet perfect tune, one that emerged from my daydreams. The song revolved around one girl - Kelly Andrea. Her image had transformed in my eyes. The awkwardness I once noticed, the gait that had made her seem clumsy, was now replaced by confidence and class. She moved with a model's poise, a sight that left me captivated. Her dark eyes that once held fear now sparkled with a confident light,putting every ounce of resentment I had in my heart for her to a complete blur. Her trembling lips ever revealing her weakness,now uttered words, confident and razor-sharp. Those lips,soft and edible like caramel apple,my favorite desserts-One that I intended to eat for eternity. That was it, my perfect lyrics. I

JIMMY'S POV I stood by the busy road, confusion laced on my face as I scanned around impatiently like a mad dog. I hadn't been able to find a single restaurant for almost five long minutes that stretched out like hours. "Damn it! The fuck is it?" I muttered in frustration. Kelly's sudden absence had been gnawing at me for two weeks, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of her, replaying our interactions, and wondering what could have driven her away. The weight of her silence was crushing, with my messages, some sincere, others awkwardly flippant, going unanswered. Yet, it was the gnawing suspicion that I might be the cause of her disappearance that left a bitter taste in my mouth. -I had to fix this. I had someone find out a few things about her, although not enough information about her was gotten, at least I had a clue of the possible places to find her. At her apartment, or at the MaxEat restaurant. As I continued my

KELVIN'S POV Anger coursed through my veins like liquid fire, searing my temples and clouding my judgment. I paced back and forth in the office, my footsteps echoing off the walls as I struggled to contain the rage simmering beneath my surface. Clenching my fists and teeth, I tried to rein in my emotions, but it was no use. The mere thought of Veronica still being part of the company, still breathing the same air, was enough to drive me to madness. She was a constant thorn in my side, a reminder of the betrayal and deceit that had nearly destroyed everything my father had built. I couldn't rest until she was gone, until she no longer had the power at the company. The thought of her lurking around, waiting for her chance to steal, was enough to make my blood boil. I was going to make sure I exposed her this time. Veronica had been at the financial system, her fingers flying across the keyboard in a manner that confirmed my suspicions. And she fumbled so badly when our eyes

KELLY'S POV: It wasn't one of my sweet fantasies this time, it was so damn real. So so real. Promisingly real. I had have the sex of my life. Not just any kind of insubstantial sex with zero emotions whatsoever, it was heavenly real in every single step of it. It was the best kind of sex, that which had jolted every single cell of my body to eternal life and joy. And he wasn't done. with love and affection, he had gently lifted me bridal style as if I was already his to own. He walked us to the neatly equipped bath where he placed me on my feet and turned on the shower. Till this moment, I couldn't think straight. Couldn't collect my thoughts. My mind was consumed by the effects of him, his gentle remarkable actions. "Are we going to.. shower together?" The words had left my mouth, without reasoning. It was apparent and yet the question had still slipped off my mouth. Not because I had suddenly felt a need to be conscious of my naked body under his hot gaze, I mean just h
