Sorry for the short chapter. I am making the next one longer. Thank you for your support.
POV Brett De Luca This shit fucking sucks! I hate having to relocate to another school. It’s my senior year! I am on the varsity football team. What if they don’t have a place for me in Harlowe? I can’t believe marital problems would lead to us being uprooted to go live with my grandfather. I watched as my sister says her goodbyes to her friends. Poor Katarina, she has to leave her friends behind as well, and going to a new school where you’re the new girl is tough enough. All the other kids have probably known each other since birth. “ It’ll be OK, Kat. You’ll see.” I tell her as we leave our school and head home. Dad told us we’ll be staying with his school buddy Xander. I know all about him, they were kings of the school and I plan to make it my goal as well. Harlowe hasn’t seen anything, wait till they meet Brett De Luca. I can’t wait to see how hot the chicks are, especially since I saw that one chick with that pussy Jax Masterson. She was a hot little thing; blonde hair and bl
POV Bella Saint As soon as we pull into the driveway and I shut off the car I run to Xander’s study. He opens the door and looks at me. “ Bella?” He says and I look at him, I am so worked up. “ I saw him today, Xander. He was there. Shane Masterson tried to approach me,” I yell and he starts coming towards me. “ He did what? “ He says and I start to cry and he pulls me closer to him. “ W-Why didn’t you warn me? H-He tried to come to the car, Xander! You k-know how I feel about the past, what he put us through! Xander, he tried to kill you, h-he kidnapped me, he…” Xander closed the distance between us and enveloped me in his arms. “ Shh, shh. It’s OK, kitten. I-I’m sorry, baby. I-I…that was why I have been picking them up…I didn’t want you to have to see him.” He kisses my head, I wipe away the tears and he holds me in his arms. “ I promise he won’t ever hurt us again, baby.” Suddenly someone clears their throat and we both turn around to see Brett. He’s leaning up against the
POV Natalia Saint As if my life had not already been crazy now my parents decided that our already full home needed to board two strangers. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Katarina. She’s very sweet and we have become very close friends at school. We’ve been hanging out a lot lately since my twin Nick confessed to me that he likes her so I have been able to get to know her in the last week she’s been staying here, her older brother on the other hand, well he’s a different story. I had tried to avoid him but as I learned that doesn’t work. FLASH BACK**** After we arrived back from school that day my mom went to talk to my dad. I ran up the stairs and into my room. I was in the middle of moving my bed when my phone pinged. Stopping what I did I picked it up and saw his name; JAXON MASTERSON it read at the top. Nope, not going to happen. I will never allow him to play me again! He played me as a fool and he lied to me, telling me he was in love with me, and like an idiot I believed h
POV Brett De Luca Just as I leaned closer to kiss her, her door opened and her twin Nick appeared. He walked into her room, his attention on his phone, oblivious to what was happening. “ Hey, Nat, I was wondering if you wanted to go with Sofia and I…” I let her go and stepped away, maintaining my innocence. Suddenly she runs from me. I shrug at her twin then chase after her. She ran past him and out of the room, down the hall, and descended the stairs. I was on her heels as she ran past her parents, out the door, and kept running down the sidewalk. Where did she think she was going? Did she think she could outrun me? I almost laughed at that. “ You can run all you want, but you won’t escape me that easily.” I said as I watched her enter the park and take a seat on the swings. I walked over and took the seat next to her and grabbed hers, pulling it closer. She stared at me and I scanned over her from head to toe. Speaking with her brother I found out that she is turning seventeen
POV Jaxon ‘Jax’ Masterson I was walking to class when I saw Natalia. Damn she looked really good. It had been over a week since our argument when she had told me she hated me, she wouldn’t talk to me, wouldn’t even look at me. I was going through hell not being able to be near her but Elena had threatened me saying she would tell Mister Saint if I didn’t do what she wanted. I should have known it was all a setup but how could I have known Natalia would catch us together? “ Princess, I need to talk to you. Wait up!” I cried out as I ran to catch up to her, she was walking so fast. Just as I neared her I saw her up against a locker and Brett De Luca was holding her. They hadn’t seen me so I stopped and listened. Fucking De Luca just wouldn’t listen. “ C’mon, you can’t deny it. You felt something when I kissed you, Natalia. That’s why you’ve been trying to avoid me, "he said. They kissed? When Did that happen? How long has this been going on? I’ll kill him I swear. “ I didn’t feel a
POV Xander Saint As we were walking away I heard Shane’s threat.“ You better hold onto her, Saint. Wouldn’t want the past to come back to haunt you, now would you?” It took every ounce of strength not to go back and pulverize him like I had in the past.That fucker would have deserved it. “ Head to the car. I’ll be right back.” I told them. I had just remembered that Nick had asked me to get a book from the library for his paper. I was inside the library when I heard the door open and then heard a familiar voice; Jaxon Masterson’s. He was on his phone talking to someone and I was pretty sure he was up to no good; after all, he is Shane’s son. “ Dad is up to something and I don’t know what to do.” He said whispering. “ What do you mean your dad is up to something?” I asked him as I stepped out from the aisle I was in. He stared at me then handed the phone to me. “ My uncle wants to talk to you.” He said and I heard AJ’s voice. LATER THAT DAY… I couldn’t believe I was at a coffee
POV Bella Saint As soon as I found out what happened at the school I called Xander but he wasn’t picking up so I looked on the app we have for tracking the kids and saw he was at the airport, I thought it was odd he was there so I told the kids that I was going to run some errands and went to see him. When I walked up I saw him and another woman kissing. He was kissing another woman! Is that why he wasn’t picking up his phone? Was he having an affair? “ What the fuck is going on here?” I asked and saw him push the woman away. Then I saw who it was; Samantha Craig, a woman he dated in school. I looked at him both angry and hurt at what I was seeing. How could he do this to me, to us, to our children? I looked at him then at Samantha who just stood there smirking and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and before I was aware of my actions I was running towards my car.“ Bella, wait! It’s not what you think.” I heard Xander speak but I couldn’t look at him. He betrayed me. As I drove
POV Jaxon ‘Jax’ Masterson As soon as I left the airport I had a feeling that I didn’t really know my father…I mean what did he mean by what he said to Mister Saint? “ You better hold onto her, Saint. Wouldn’t want the past to come back to haunt you, now would you?” What exactly happened between them? Uncle A.J. told me they all used to be friends. I needed to get answers, this whole thing was weighing on my mind. I got into my car and turned it on when I saw my father. What was he doing here? I didn’t tell him I called my uncle; I didn’t know how he would react. They weren’t on good terms. My father didn’t have any reason that I was aware of to be here. I shrugged it off and started to back up my car when I saw him with my mother? What the fuck was going on? Quickly I took out my phone and began taking pictures, I could not believe what I was seeing. My mother isn’t dead! Suddenly I saw her enter the coffee shop that I just left. I parked my car and followed her. I walked closer and
