last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Jovie’s POV

I was shocked when we entered the dining room to see the whole gang there. Dallas, Scotty, and Dewey.

“Jo!” They chorused. 

I was buried in a hug from the three boys. I laughed happily. I really had missed them. 

“Alright enough!” I laughed. 

I surveyed the three guys in front of me. They hadn’t changed one bit.

Dallas had a goofy grin on his tan face. The freckles decorated across his nose were more prominent than ever. His dark blue eyes were crinkled in joy and happiness. He was always such a positive force.

Scotty flipped his long brown hair out of his face. His snake bite piercings gleamed in the light as he grinned. His large brown eyes looked me up and down, taking me in. It was like he forgot what I looked like and now he needed a full on reminder. 

Dewey was the tallest of the boys. Standing at six five he seemed like an intimidating dude, but he was a

    Reno's POV “Fuck!” Jovie screamed as Tommy fell to the floor. “Oh fuck, fuck, fuck! Reno I fucking shot him!” “Um...he-he shot you first baby.” “Like a week and a half ago, I don’t think this counts as self defense!” “We gotta get out of here. People probably heard the shot, come on!” I pulled her arm. “Do I take the gun?” Jovie cried. “Definitely!” “Wait!” She said. “What baby?” I asked. “The donuts.” Right, of course. I quickly picked up the box and we hauled ass out of that alley. We hopped into Xavier’s car and I drove off quickly. “Holy fuck. I shot someone!” Jovie laughed. “I actually shot someone! I know I should feel bad, but I feel like kind of a badass!” “You were a badass.” I glanced at her. “Did you see yourself back there? Holding the gun and giving that ultimatum. That was so fucking hot, babe.” “Yeah? I

    Jovie’s POV “So...Jo. When we meet this guy about the diamond, I need an appearance from Olive Atkins.” Xavier informed me. “Wait who?” Reno asked. “Olive Atkins is my alias. She’s done a lot of bad shit.” I stated. “Well do I need an alias too?” “Um, actually, Reno. My man.” Xavier winced. “It’s gonna have to just be me and Jovie for this. Can’t have too many people there, it might scare my guy off. Dallas said he’s real suspicious.” Reno frowned. “Oh,” “That’s okay, right baby?” I asked. “Um, sure, of course. Getting it sold is all that really matters to me anyways.” “Okay. You can stay with Hobbs. You guys haven’t had alone time in ages.” Reno couldn’t help but smile. “You’re right about that.” “I’ll come back and we’ll have the money and then we can go to Greece and fuck on the beach.” I smiled. Hobbs cleared his throat. “Yeah, you’ll get over it.” “Sounds perf

    Reno’s POV “You scheming motherfucker!” I exclaimed. “This was your plan all along! This is why you agreed to help sell the diamond. So that you could get rid of me and try to get her back.” “Look, man, that was not my initial thought.” Xavier put his hands up. “It’s just being around her again made all the memories come back. I miss her and what we had isn’t done.” “Yes, it is! It’s been years. She’s in love with me now.” “And where has that gotten her? Beaten up by the rich prick! Shot! Chased across the country!” “And where did your love get her? Getting involved with armed robbery? You know, you’re the reason she even got back with Jasper to begin with? She had to go back to him because you fucked everything up here and she had to go back to that house where her parents didn’t care about her and allowed her to be hurt! At least I’m trying to get her away from that!” “By putting her in more danger?” Xavier asked. “Has her life been

He was going to be dead because there would be no more money to pay Vigo with. He was going to be killed! I was actually going to lose him!I’d have to go back to New York. Or maybe I could go stay with Mom while being depressed for the rest of my natural born life because the one man I loved even more than myself was gone. My world would be crushed. I’d have nothing to live for. My one true love would be gone.I would never get married or have kids or grow old with someone I loved. My life was over.“Jovie?” I turned and saw Reno standing there.“Reno!” I ran over and jumped on him.He lost his balance and luckily fell on the bed with me on top of him. “Hey, babe.

    Jovie’s POVMy head felt foggy and disoriented.My vision blurred as I opened my eyes and tried to focus. I was in a dimly lit room, on a mattress. I tried to get up, but found out that I was handcuffed to bar on the wall. I tugged at it, but nothing happened.“Hello?” I called out. “Reno! Reno, help me!”The door opened and in walked Tommy. He looked positively thrilled to see me.“The great Jovie Wimberley seems afraid,”“You think I’m great?” I whispered.“Is anything serious for you?” Tommy asked.

    “Jovie!” Jasper ran over to me. “Baby, I’ve been worried sick about you!”“How did you find me?” I whispered.“Your parents told me you were kidnapped. I-I came as soon as I could. I had to save you!” He hugged me tightly. “Did they hurt you?”“No. I’m okay, I just…I feel disgusting. I wanna go home.” Tears filled my eyes.Strangely enough, at that moment I wasn’t scared of Jasper. He was being so gentle with me and he had come to rescue me.“The jet is waiting for us, I’ll take you home.”“Jovie?!” I looked up and saw Hobbs.

    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

    Reno’s POV I was freaking out. Jovie was screaming about contractions and everyone was scrambling around, trying to figure out who was sober enough to drive us to the hospital. None of us were. We ended up calling a car to come get us but that meant waiting which was making us all freak out even more. I sat Jovie down in a chair as she winced. “Is she gonna have the baby here?” Vigo asked. “I might faint, I’m not good with bodily fluids!” “I cannot even count the ways that you are not helping!” Jovie snapped. “Sorry! Jeez you really are just like my wife!” “Oh fuck

    Reno’s POV I thought I was going to faint. Sitting in front of me was everything I ever wanted. The woman of my dreams, pregnant with my child. Sure I thought it would be a little later before we had kids, but these kinds of things are hard to plan. It’s what I wanted more than anything with Jovie and I was actually getting it. “When did you find out?” Naomi asked. “This morning actually,” Jovie laughed slightly. “I felt like crap, I was late. I just took it for shits and giggles…and then that second line popped up.” “But the bullet,” I said suddenly. “It didn’t hurt anything right?” “It’s all good. Hospi

    Jovie’s POVSomething wasn’t right.Why wasn’t I bleeding? Where was the blood? I saw a little hole in my dress, where I swear the bullet entered, but it didn’t penetrate me. Why?I felt around and realized the underwire in my corset had stopped the bullet. But Reno didn’t have that.I crawled over to him.“Reno? Baby, look at me. You’re okay.” I put pressure on his wound as Jasper got closer. “Somebody call the ambulance!”“I don’t feel good, Jov,” Reno choked out.Another shot rang through the air.&

    Reno's POV I was taken aback. When would Jovie Wimberly actually say what I thought she would? Why was she always throwing me off and catching me off guard? “Oh,” I breathed. “Okay…this is absolutely humiliating.” “Wait, I don’t mean I’ll never marry you, baby.” Jovie said quickly. “It's just…We're in your ex wife's house and I'm wearing a wedding dress after walking out on my groom. I'm all about being impulsive and insane, but…this is even a little too unorthodox for me!” Relief spread throughout my body. I could completely understand where she was coming from. This day had been kind of insane and adding a proposal to it would just be nuts. “I get it,” I whispered. “That a

There’s some things you gotta know Bonnie.” I turned to Reno. “Will you stop at nothing to ruin this for me?” “I didn’t even bring him here!” Reno exclaimed. “So who did?” “The big guy in the shades, actually.” Vigo grinned. “Hobbs?” I questioned. “Why?” “You need to hea

I had to decide that I didn’t care if she didn’t.The goal was to get her away from Jasper. It shouldn’t matter if she wants to be with me or not, as long as she’s not in danger anymore.I put on my tux and looked at my reflection. Though Xavier had been kidding, I thought I did look pretty delicious. Jovie would definitely want to get on her knees for me.Stop it Reno, that’s not what today was about!

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.“

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.
