All Chapters of Appealing To His Gaze : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Devin POV Aiden had not even taken any step forward but had already figured out that if we were going to defeat this girl we had to be very careful so that we did not waste all the resources that we had. I didn't have much to say to Stella who had been begging for release. Every time that I had the opportunity to twist things around I was always going to say it as well as I can. There was no need for me to keep fighting or do anything that was out of the ordinary because I believe to he was going to settle it but in the meantime I was also going to take cognizance of the things that actually mattered."You cannot keep me here forever. Somebody is going to be bound to find out what's going on. Don't you think that it's going to backfire on you one of these days and you would have no choice than to dance to the tune that you have been handed over." She said. Her words were only for people who did not understand that she was trying to play in mind game on them and trying to make thin

Devin POV What if you havd liced in a pkace where it was completely up to you to determine the extent of damage that happens to someone. Will you be esctatic bout it or would it bring you to your knees in a form that's not ready to become who you currently are?I had not spent the last part of myself becoming a monster that I wouldn't be able to recognize, instead I was going to make sure that I became a better person more than what the world painted us as. "I'm not happy with your decision but I hav no cjoice than to abide by it because deep down, I know that it kinda makes a lot of sense and if I'm willing to put my best foot forward, I would be experiencing something quite different from what I currently have." Aiden admitted quietly.I had saved myself from unnecessary prolonged issues but when it came to this I was still a bit reluctant to make any move that isn't going to amount to anything tangible and decided to just stay out trying to figure out my next move. Most importa

Aiden POV We have a lot of friction all the time and I think that it based on the fact that we have different persona. It's not really about what anybody wants to think instead it's about the things that truly apply. I had absolutely nothing to prove to anybody besides just making sure that I remain focus on my own attention and I do not allow anything to complicate things. Festus steps into my office web a weird look on his face I know that everything is about to fall apart. He would not readily come except there's something that bothering him. While I have a lot of things on my mind I kind of figure out that it would be better for me to just admit to myself that I had lost a whole lot of deals in the process and I should just be thinking about making the right decisions instead of complicating them. My next move is also to make sure that I don't allow myself be drowned in something that is beyond my control that I would have to keep thinking twice about. I have other reasons

Devin. POV If there is anything more than livid, it is exactly how I'm feeling right now as the reports got to my table. I wasn't in any way sure that I was hearing correctly but I wanted to believe that nobody would want to lie to me concerning something as serious as this. Was either they were only trying to play on my intelligence or it was true which I hoped for my sake that it wasn't. I had too many things to put in place and I didn't think that it was alright to begin something completely different from what I have always wished for. I wanted something different and now that I wasn't getting it I was not going to just accept the stupidity like that. How dare Stella tried to make things complicated and twist things around to look like she's a victim when in fact she's the one who deserves to be punished?!I didn't wait for any more information and I proceeded to take laws into my own hands. I had waited so long and she wanted to turn me into a fool but there's only so much

Devin POV I headed home out of anger but I couldn't help but ask myself if I was just overreacting. To some extent festus was right but I didn't also want to admit to myself that I had made a mistake of being too concerned about what somebody thought about me. It was in fact supposed to be something that I had found a balance on how to just deal with it without too much drama but here I was still engaging myself in many issues. I wasn't concerned about what anybody was going to bring to me instead I was concerned about what this meant and how I was supposed to deal with it. A whole lot of things have been happening and if I was being honest with myself I didn't need anything that was going to complicate it further than it already was. I took a deep breath and inhaled before reaching out to my bottle of whiskey. That was the only true friend that I had at the moment and the risk people were just nothing but liars trying to parade themselves like they were true. At some point I a
