Chapter 40: Jovie's Fiance (Jasper's POV)

last update Last Updated: 2022-02-22 09:45:22

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

    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

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

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.

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

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

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
