Chapter 36: Wedding Planning
Wedding planning is kind of fun!
I can’t believe the last time I was engaged I was uninterested in all of this. There’s so much to do! Catering, place settings, decorations, venues, it was all so much! And to pull it all together in a month?
Absolute madness.
It was the perfect distraction to not think about a certain gambler who had broken my heart. Instead I was focused on a certain handsome, rich man who would take care of me for the rest of my life.
“Jovie, I have to say I’ve never been more proud of you,” Mom smiled.
Since I had been back she pretty much pretended that I didn’t know that she was not my biological mother. I was fine with that for the most part. I was sick of arguing and yelling. It never

Two months ago Reno’s POV Finally that car stopped following me. I was relieved that this was almost over. In two hours we would be free from all this shit! I would ask Jovie to marry me and then we could start planning the wedding immediately. I decided to stop at a store to change into the outfit I wanted to wear for proposing to Jovie. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I looked handsome! Still nowhere near good enough for Jovie, but this would have to do. I was set to arrive at the warehouse kind of early. I figured I could go and talk to Vigo early so he knew for sure I wasn’t going to run again. Jovie would show up with the money and then it would be a done deal.

Reno’s POVI wrestled with myself for two weeks.Should I actually go back to LA to hear what Xavier had to say or was this a trick? Vigo said the Wimberlys were out for blood. This could be a trap and the police would be waiting for me?Xavier did sound extremely concerned for Jovie though. He also kept calling and texting.“He’s playing you, man.” Elias shook his head. “They’re gonna lock you up the moment you step out of the airport.”“I don’t know, something doesn’t feel right,” I sighed. “Maybe Jovie really is in trouble?”“Or maybe she and her family want you behind bars?&rd

Jovie’s POV“No, we decided to go with another caterer, but thank you.” I hung up quickly and blocked the number.“Who was that baby?” Jasper asked.“Just a caterer I had wanted before but now it’s too late, I have a new and better caterer.”“Well put the phone down so I can finish.”I started rolling my hips again, but my mind was no longer on sex with Jasper.It was on Reno Valenzuela.--What if I just called him back?No what the hell would I even say?
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 40: Jovie's Fiance (Jasper's POV)
Sometimes I worried that I wasn't a good person. I really tried to be. I always did everything I was supposed to. I went to college and got my business degree. I worked at a great company with amazing opportunities. I fell in love with an amazing girl. The only problem was that Jovie Wimberly never exactly fell in love with me in return. I did everything to get her to. I was nice to her, I tried to make her happy, I was patient with her. Any other man would have just given up on Jovie years ago. But not me. See I saw the potential in her. I knew she and I could be a power couple. I just had to get her on board. Easier said than done. I had loved her since eighth grade
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 41: Back in New York
Reno’s POV I stared at Vigo in shock. This was all Jasper’s fault. How didn’t I see it at first? Vigo liked me and Jovie and had no reason to turn on us. But Jasper gave him one. Jasper only wanted one thing and next week he’d be getting it. I had to save Jovie. “Vigo, I need you to come to New York with me.” I stated. “Afraid I can’t do that, Reno,” He frowned. “That Sterlington fellow will be after me since I got away. I’m the only one who knows what went down. He’ll probably have me killed or something.” “You’re scared of Jasper Sterlington the business man?” Xavier asked. “Aren’t you a gangster?” “That man has co

Jovie’s POVI must have been dreaming.When my eyes fluttered open, I was in my bed. It wasn’t real.“What a weird dream,” I mumbled.“So you still dream about me?”I sat up and there was Reno sitting on the edge of the bed.“What…what are you doing here?” I breathed.“I came back for you baby.” Reno smiled.I hated how amazing he looked. His hair was longer and perfectly messy. He had stubble on his face that I wanted to feel against my own. He still had that mischievous smile that made me want
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 43: Darla
Reno’s POV“Why would you fuck her instead of just telling her the truth?”I sighed. “I just missed her so much. She looked so sexy standing there, screaming at me. And like I said I haven’t gotten laid in a while.”“Well now what the hell are we supposed to do?” Xavier asked. “I mean we tried to tell her! The wedding is in two days.”“I don’t know man, but we can’t give up. We can’t let Jasper win.”“Maybe I should talk to her?”“Bad idea,” Naomi commented. “Right now we have an element of surprise. Jovie isn’t going to tell Jasper about Reno being b

Jovie’s POV“Jovie! Um…hi!”“What are you doing on my parent’s floor?” I asked, holding my arm out to stop the elevator doors from closing.“My lawyer is on the eighteenth floor and I have pregnancy brain. Got off on the wrong floor so I was getting back on to go down.” Darla explained.“Oh…you look good. Pregnancy agrees with you.”“And engagement seems to agree with you. You um…you’re supposed to get married tomorrow to that Jasper guy right?”“Yeah…how did you know that?” I questioned.“
