ARIAN’S POV“Well?” Edward asked expectantly as I got into the car. “First off, she looks terrible” I said, “secondly I didn’t think seeing her would affect me so much, I didn’t expect it, it was like a blow to the stomach” I breathed. He just grunted and cranked up the car, peeling away from Devonne’s driveway. I cast a sidelong look at him, “Edward?” “Hm?” “Do you think you can forgive me for what happened to Margot?” “I don’t want to talk about that now Arian” “you never do…” “then just let it be” So I did. “You didn’t tell Devonne about how we lost Her did you?” I asked again and only a growl answered. DEVONNE’S POVWhen my Mom came into the living room with a plate filled with pancakes, she met just me, glaring at her hard ebnoigh that my head hurt from the intensity of my stare. “Oh Devonne don’t look at me like that…. I was just so excited that you were finally moving on after Lucas, although I did think it was gonna be Nathan though, he’s such a sweet boy, but Adrian” “A
JAGGED CHAPTER 46
DEVONNE’S POVMY Dad came by later at night, Nathan in tow, looking very exhausted. I had my Mom move me downstairs again for dinner and so I could watch TV. “Where have you two been?” I asked in an accusatory tone “we had some work to take care of” my Dad replied. “I need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dad” I told him and he sighed “can we….. talk about this tomorrow? I’m sorry Dev but I’m beat and I really need to start heading home now”. I frowned at him “aren’t you gonna stay here?” He cleared his throat awkwardly “uhm, no….I ah. I just have to go” “Me too” my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. “I’ll stay here with you Devonne, I don’t have anything doing at home anyway” Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. “They haven’t rested at all Devonne” and I immediately felt guilty. “Okay” I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone
JAGGED CHAPTER 47
DEVONNE’S POVI had just come out of the shower, I decided to let my hair dry on it’s own and just sat in front of my mirror. I looked okay I guess, there was more color on my face. A knock on my door had me saying “come in” without considering who it could be. Maybe it was Nathan or one of my parents were back. What I did not expect though, was to see Arian walk into my room. I was instantly on my feet. He was looking exceptionally good in a well pressed lilac shirt and black pants, but I wasn’t about to tell him that. “What are you doing here? How’d you get in?” I demanded. “One, I’m here to see you, two, You left a key under the flowerpot” he drawled and just started approaching me. “Stay there!” I said, not wanting to have him anywhere close to me “Why though?” He asked still walking to me, at this point I had left my vanity and was now backing towards my closet.‘Because I just had a wet dream about you few hours back and I can’t trust my mind and body not to react to you’ I w
JAGGED CHAPTER 48
DEVONNE’S POV THE next day I was all dressed up and ready to go to work in green blazers and a tight skirt that came to stop mid thigh. Inappropriate? Well…that’s why I own the place. I pulled on my knee high heeled boots. I straightened my hair and let it down, applying some red gloss and blotting it with a tissue. Then I stepped out putting on a pair of sunglasses on my way to the car. I didn’t bother with jewelry except a wrist watch and a simple gold chain. When I arrived at the office, I received quite the welcome from my secretary, rattling off appointments and stuff that I needed to do. Sometimes I wonder if Sansa was human. But well, there’s only so much I can do about her being so good. Everything was going well, until I stepped into my office to find it filled with flowers. There were flowers everywhere, including on my desk, flowers of every kind and every color. At least a path was created for me to walk to my desk. Which as I finally looked up, was occupied by a certai
JAGGED CHAPTER 49
DEVONNE’S POVI was smiling while making cookies the next morning when Nathan walked into the kitchen, he was practically living in my house now, but thank God he slept out last night, because I don’t think I would be able to explain why I was moaning loudly in the living room, neither would I be able to get over the trauma if he had walked in on me and Arian. Speaking of Arian… I thought about our date last night, I had every reason to be skeptical but for whatever reason it was, I was just going with everything. “Uhm Hello… Earth to Devonne” Nathan was saying, waving his hands in my face. “Well good Morning to you too Nate” I said happily, “someone’s in a good mood” he noted with a smile of his own. “Hot date last night?” He asked, making me turn to stare at him. He had one brow up. “Well…” He just chuckled and scrolled on his phone, bringing up an article and showing his screen to me. It was a picture of Arian helping me out of the car and there was another of us coming out, whe
JAGGED CHAPTER 1
I was a child again, feeling his dirty hands on me, groping at my clothes while forcing my legs apart. The image shifted and I was driving a knife into his body over and over and over again I woke up gasping for breath, it’s really crazy how These nightmares started again a month ago, so I’ve been drowning myself in wine and men, it helps for the most part, but it is crazy. First thing I noticed after jerking awake was the killer headache I was sporting, second thing I noticed, was that there was a stranger in my bed. I stared long and hard at his face…. what was his name again? Jake? …..Zeke? Ugh dang it! “Hey wake up!” I said while shaking him violently, “ Hey babe” came the reply, I was staring at brown eyes and the brown eyes were roaming my naked body. Le sigh, we’re doing this again. “Call me babe one more time and I just might pluck out those eyes of yours, check the drawer on your side of the bed, get some cash and get the hell out of my building” I said, slowly and softly
JAGGED CHAPTER 2
I whirled ready to lash out at whoever it was, only to stop dead when I saw who it was, He was something straight out of a fantasy novel, he had this slight tan thing going for him, and the tux he wore did nothing to hide how toned his body was, I had to tilt my head backwards a bit to get a good look at his face, he had honey brown eyes and a very defined jawline and Dark hair, I’d have really hated it if he were blonde, no offense to my mother. “ You’re drooling Princess”“Get your own wine peasant” I shot back, he took a step forward and I took one back, knowing My back would hit the balcony if I went back any further and I think he knew it too because he took two steps forward, trapping me between his hard body and the balcony, I scowled up at him to find him smirking down at me. “You don’t happen to be Devonne Ivy Marchetti now do you?” “Of course I’m Devonne, everyone in Goddamned Cali knows that”“Cocky isn’t she?” He chuckled a little to darkly for my liking, but my body se
JAGGED CHAPTER 3
“Also I drew up the papers for the contract, I mailed it to you. And also I brought in the papers you need to sign from our other companies, I mailed you the ones from abroad for approval”“Thank you Sansa, that’ll be all for now, I think you should take the rest of the day off, you’ve outdone yourself today plus it is your birthday so…….” she was smiling at this point, Sansa had only worked with me for a year, but somehow she had managed to be the best and has evaded anything that would lead to her being fired. I rummaged through my drawers and found the box. I am really awful at wrapping boxes, but I did try anyway. “Don’t open it until your outside” I instructed with a straight face and then added a “happy birthday” with a softer smile. I followed her out to the parking lot and watch from a distance as she opened the box, I could make out a gasping sound from her. She brought out the keys and pressed the button, my heart almost broke for her as I watched her crumble to the grou
