“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

Jovie’s POV“Reno?” I called, running into the bathroom. He wasn’t there.Oh no, he left. He went to a casino! He’s losing all the money we just got. 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. What’s wrong?”I kissed him

Reno’s POVI groaned.“Yeah. I was gonna go out and get a ring later today before the deal and then after everything was done I was gonna ask y-”I was shocked when Jovie ran over to me and kissed me. “Yes! Yes, a million times yes!”“Well look at that,” I smiled. “You got proposed to and you didn’t faint!”“I don’t know, I still might,” She giggled.I gently touched her head. “I’m sorry baby. You know I would never want to hurt you.”“It’s okay. I know. Just no more violence, please Reno. I’m yours, you don&rsq

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

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 50: The Valenzuelas
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
Adventures of a Klepto and a Gambler Chapter 49: Shotgun Wedding
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

Reno’s POVOperation: Ruin Jovie’s Wedding was in motion the moment I woke up.First came a shower to wake me the fuck up after staying up all night stressing about whether or not Jovie would take me back. 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!

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.“

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.
