JOJO'S POV

I'm fuming as I walk towards a shiny black Ford truck and try the freaking latch of a handle, it doesn't budge.

Of course, he would threaten me, that slimy asshole.

“Go wait by the car Dukes or you can watch as your family's history gets splashed across tomorrow's morning paper.”

I stand out in the less-than-busy parking lot, glaring at the ground to keep the younger passers-by from sighting the Jojo Dukes hovering around some car like a creep.

I flinch the moment I spot Claire Eastwood and her convoy step out from a Barbie pink Porsche. She'd thrown her sweet eighteen the night we'd thrown the invite-only party.

They'd have to pass Jeremy's car to get to CrispFries and I can't avoid them because Claire and I locked eyes the second she stepped out of the car.

I hear their snide remarks from the fifty-meter distance they're briskly covering and my head turns towards the CrispFries building.

Jeremy's at the entrance when something grabs his attention, making him tur

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   Concussions and Confes– Confusions

    JoJo's POV The car screeches to a halt and I'm swinging the door open, and sprinting to the sidewalk to puke out my guts on the sidewalk. I heave and hurl until my stomach is empty, my throat is scratchy and my eyes sting from the stench. I groan, “I really don't feel so good.” “You’re having a concussion, Dukes.” A warm palm is pressed against my forehead and I moan at the feeling, “So warm.” A plastic bottle and two pills are nudged into my hand. His voice orders, “Drink.” “So grumpy,” I mumble. “Drink.” He urges again. “What is this? Poison?” He doesn't respond so I lift my head to see his face but the asshole's busy typing on his phone. Well, fuck him. I rinse my mouth off the vomit stench then swallow the pills with another gulp of water. Feeling my stomach settle a bit, I stand up. I need to get home. He's already waiting in the car, “Hurry up, Dukes you're burning daylight.” I glare at him, I'm feeling a bit better doesn't mean I'm in the best condition to “hurr

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The Handler

    Jeremy's POV My work cell buzzes from the drawer and I ignore it in place of slathering cream all over my Jawline Like an annoying fly, the cell buzzes again. I answer. “What’d you want?” “Manners boy!” A voice gone scratchy from seeing the bottom of a bottle for decades answers. “Father,” I grit out. He grunts and tries to stifle a cough, “What’s this I'm hearing?” “What are you hearing?” “You’re in a relationship?” I grab the razor and methodically begin scraping off the shaving cream. “Answer the goddamn question, Kila.” “Yes.” “How dare you! You piece of dogshit, I raised you to be a formidable ruler yet here you are, led by your cock, blinded by a piece—” “I haven't forgotten your teachings, Father.” I cut him off. “Then loose the girl.” “No.” “What did you say, boy?” “I'm not getting rid of her, not yet.” “What are you up to, Kila?” “Nothing that'll affect you in the long run.” “Who is that child?” “The daughter of an acquaintance.” “Wrap up your games, kid.

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   It Just Happened!

    JOJO'S POV The last 24 hours have been a shit show inside a freaking rollercoaster. First of all, Mallory somehow convinced me to seek out Vongov, grab his phone, and install some bug she created on it. “Why do I have to do it?” She gave me a look, “Seriously, Jo?” “I thought avoiding him was the new MO until we found a weakness.” “This is the way to find that weakness Jo, now suck up, and do your part to make this thing work.” That was all the scolding I needed. I ended up in a gym, snooping through his stuff while he showered. Before I could return his phone—which took longer than expected because I'm no tech wiz— he was gone. I had to chase the asshole halfway to CrispFries and immediately regretted it. I should've reported the phone as a lost and found case and left it with the receptionist or dropped it in the freaking locker room. Now, I'm here, not even 24 hours later with a loopy memory, an aching heart that won't stop hurting with every step I take, and Vongov, who I

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   Friends... And Expectations.

    JOJO'S POV “I kissed him and he just left.” “What?” Mal and I huddle closer. After the incident with the asshole—Yeah, I'm calling him that now— I went home, too ashamed to show my face to anyone. Mallory called and I gave an “I think I caught the flu.” excuse, she didn't push it though we both knew that was the worst half-assed lie in the history of lies. Kendrick didn't call though we had three classes together, one of which we were supposed to be partners. Maybe Mal filled her in or Maybe she didn't care. I don't care. I've spent the entire day watching X-rated movies on Prime and eating anything I could find. I think I'm depressed. Luckily, Mal brought her homework to my room and whaddya know, Kenny was right behind her. Now, we're lying on my bed, homework set aside, munching on my junk stash while Kenny gushes about some guy she'd met up with over a week ago. Yeah, the same Kenny who cried like a baby after Jerem– the Asshole's tongue got stuck in her mouth less th

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   Challenge Accepted.

    Jeremy's POV My fist punches through my reflection and shards of glass shatter around me. Broken. Fuck! The beast clamors against my ribcage, looking for something, anything to destroy. “Need to hurt!” It screeches, clawing, bruising, biting to be let out. I need control! I stalk into the bathroom and throw open the cabinet, a small first-aid kit sits behind bottles of Oxy, Prozac, Luvox, fentanyl, Morphine, and Codeine amongst others. My hand hovers over the Morphine but I end up slamming the cabinet door. I can't give up control. I head into the room and try to bandage my injured knuckles but my hands are shaky and my head is clanging with voices. I'm on edge and my mind, it's driving me crazy. “Just take the meds and let go, Kil.” I hear my father's voice and freeze. “You're in so much pain, let me fix it.” He's looking down at me with worry. No no no! That is not my father! The voice changes and it turns soft and soothing, “You've held on for so long, Мое солнце, you'

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The Kick-off

    JOJO'S POV “Get Out.” That Asshole got up and dragged me down the stairs down to the foyer and slammed the door in my face. “Screw you, Vongov!” I scream at the slammed door. He's such a conundrum. One minute, we’re laughing and joking about childhood nicknames, the next, he's looking at me with murder in his eyes and dragging me out of his house like a bad booty call. What the hell does he want from me?! “What if Kendrick and Mallory were right after all and I can't handle Jeremy Vongov?” My injured pride pokes at me. But if I can't deal with this, then what use am I to the plan, to my friends, and to keeping them alive? I need to prove myself. I need to think! I need a plan that requires killing five birds with one stone. Figuratively, of course. A good scheme that'll set Kingston in Vongov's black book without giving me the spotlight. An imaginary lightbulb flickers in my head and I grab onto the flickering light. I got it! I just need to fuck Kingston! Again, Not lite

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The Decision

    JEREMY'S POV I developed the discipline of minding my business a long time ago but there’s an itch I need to scratch. An itch in the form of a redhead with innocent eyes and a smart mouth. I dial the only other number on my speed dial, he picks on the first ring. “How's the party?” “Who's this?” “Don't play with me, Falconer.” There's a pause. “Kila?” “It's me.” “What the hell is happening, who hijacked your phone?” “I just confirmed my identity.” “You never bother with these things, Kila, I’m just curious.” “Don't act stupid Kai, it doesn't suit you.” “The ladies don't agree.” “Arrogant prick.” “What’s that Kila, you getting jealous?” “Fuck you, I wanted to check in on the party.” “What the hell do you mean, 'check in on the party’?” “Are you ha– having any problems?” “Not… really. My bouncers are all the help I need, and if I need more muscle, Junnev's right here.” “Heard he got smacked around a lot. How's he?” “Holding up like a champ. Says he's got a headach

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   DayDream

    JEREMY'S POV The Harley growls as I speed into the dead night to Kingston's little party. The machine thrums in tune with the beastly throbbing in my veins. I release the throttle and the bike goes even faster though not in tune with the urgency racing through me. If he so much as lays a finger on her, I'll gut him. I'll destroy him. I'll erase his puny existence from the face of the fucking earth. Tires screech against the asphalt as I round the bend leading to his house and my headlights catch a female figure sitting on the sidewalk. I'm zooming past the figure until I catch a glimpse of red hair and slam down on the brakes. My Harley screeches to a stop. I hop down and turn the machine towards the figure. The headlights shine on a familiar redhead who hisses at the sight of the light. Her elbows cover her eyes as she tips an empty bottle of Smirnoff to her chapped lips. My eyes rake over her appearance and my jaw forms a tightline. The fuck is she wearing? A tiny strin

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   Young Love

    JOJO’s POV Two Months Later… They were graduating high school today but Josephine would always go back to that day each time she passed the workshop. She and over three hundred graduates passed by the workshop today but no one spoke about it. They had all forgotten. It felt like they'd forgotten everything linked to him along with him and that made Josephine sick to her stomach. One month ago, She, Junnev, and Jeremy were hanging on for dear lives in the hospital. Of their three cases, Jeremy’s was the most baffling because apart from the external injuries he suffered from the accidents and the cement, the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. So why wouldn't he wake up? They closed off Jeremy in a special room for “intense observation purposes,” that's what they called it. They kept him there until he was cleared for flight to be transported back to America. Junnev knee joints were broken from the weight of concrete. He’d woken up during the surgery, his tone mighty

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The Basement

    Kendrick tried to stand but her ears were ringing so badly from the explosion so she used her hands to cover them and suddenly there was a semblance of peace in the chaos that had become the world. Kendrick blinked debris and dust from her eyes as she looked around, trying to find a familiar face. She couldn't see past the dust that had formed from the explosion but she could hear the awful screams and the rapid-fire gunshots and those sounds would stay with her forever. Bullets were flying left and right and Kendrick knew she had to get out. She needed to get out of there before she got hit by a stray bullet or before the ceiling caved in or before she died from a heart attack so she put one leg in front of the other and trudged along. The dust was settling and she could see certain parts of the building clearer. She looked around the unconsciously fed bodies of men to see Jeremy and Junnev covered with debris and as she got closer to them, her mouth widened in horror. They wer

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The truth

    Jeremy couldn't comprehend when the plan started falling apart but it had in fact… fallen. Lying in front of him were two bodies, Josephine was lying on the dirty ground, blood pouring out of her chest, yet she tried to sit up. Jeremy ran to her and took her trembling body into his arms, trying to apply enough pressure on her wound but crimson just kept flowing to the ground, steadily forming a pool of red around them. She’d run into the line of fire as he shot at her kidnapper. Why did she do that? Why? He racked his brain for a tangible reason but came up empty. Next to her was the masked kidnapper, they called her The Mistress. He had heard tales about her horrible doings since he'd been a tween, each one more fearsome than the last yet here she was, fallen by a mere bullet. She was dead. “Kila!” His father's men called from behind and he whipped around to see Maxim holding onto his bleeding neck. Apparently, the Mistress had decided his father would be her last victim.

  • Devoured By His Enemy Eyes   The Reunion

    “You are more like a pirate than an actual cop,” Junnev sparked after Burkely ended the call. “I am retired, Kid. Besides, all my years of following the law and reporting everything I saw left me without a wife, a roof over my head, and eventually a Jobless alcoholic with no future except nabbing one man.” “That's…” “Pathetic, I know.” Burkely fished out another stick of cigarette. “I'm a living, breathing bundle of addiction!” Burkely finished his tirade with his arms spread apart– eagle form on the sidewalk with a wide smile, pasted on his face as horns blared from vehicles passing by them. Junnev tugged his hands down and hissed through clenched teeth, “Control yourself, Old man. We don't want to draw any unwanted attention to ourselves.” Burkely shrugged out of Junnev’s hold and glared up at the kid, “Don’t call me an old man. You know my name, so use it.” “I'll call you whatever the fuck I want since you are the one who keeps forgetting,” Junnev responded with angry sparks

    Something was wrong and Doc was certain, it had something to do with Josephine. The Dukes couple and their men were currently situated close to the bushes, away from the main road. Their men were well hidden with their guns and rifles in the surrounding bushes while waiting for the signal from their bosses who were inside a parked reporter van down the road. Doc was furious, anxious, and more so, scared as she got out of the van and paced down the length of the road. She tried again and again to get a hold of Jeremy Vongov but his line was switched off. “I told you we shouldn't have trusted him.” Will quipped from the back of the vehicle. “This is no time to point fingers, Will. Something bad has happened and we need to do something.” “How about you get Mallory and Kendrick and their friends involved? Get them to track down Jeremy.” Doc turned away from her husband, “It's too dangerous Will, why’d think we've been knowingly throwing them off course? Our hackers will easily h

    “There was something in the air,” Jeremy thought to himself as he stalked to the back SUV where his father was already seated. Maxim looked composed and rather cheerful as he watched his son get into the vehicle from his side eye. “I told you no one was to touch her,” Jeremy growled in a chilling tone. “Oh, stop your grumbling, we have a big day ahead of us.” Maxim waved him off and grabbed the glass of vodka on the armrest, taking a healthy swallow. Jeremy schooled back his features and settled for a stiff smile, “Yes, we do Father.” “Good,” The vehicle sets in reverse and slowly pulls out of the driveway then it accelerates as the driver moves down the road and silence settles in the vehicle. Jeremy uses the quiet to finalize his plans by sending out a few texts and receiving a confirmed reply. “Tell me boy, how did your talk with the redhead go?” “That's none of your business.” “Humor me.” Jeremy locks his phone and focuses on his father, “Why do you care?” “Because yo

    JOJO'S POV The truth hurts, doesn't it? Jeremy steps into the room right after his father slips out and goes into a full-on wrath when he sees me in chains and I want to slap him. I want to punch him so hard in his nutsack that he feels something's wrong down there each time he takes a step. Motherfucker, I want to stump on his ugly heart and crack it into a thousand tiny pieces. Pieces so tiny, they'd be impossible to place back. I want to break him. So badly it hurts to sit there quietly and do nothing. Which is what I’m doing when the chains are finally gone from my wrists, instead I ask, “What happened when you were eight years old?” He stiffens and his eyes turn into a void. “Jeremy?” I call but it's like he can't hear me. “Jeremy?!!” I call louder, shaking him a little. “Uh, Josephine?” “I asked you a question.” I probe, not letting up. His eyes harden to black stones, “It's none of your business.” “Of course it is, I want to know how you came to grow up in Ameri

    Maxim Vongov Maxim's teeth grounded to his jaw as he realized how much time, his son had taken. It was time to make the trade and Jeremy was nothing if not time conscious. The kid was getting sloppy. He watched from the monitors as Jeremy kissed his girlfriend goodbye and left the room. Maxim turned to Yuri, “Make sure he's detained properly.” “Another safe house?” “No, he'll come with me but I want him restrained, twice as much as before.” “I'll get it done, boss.” “I want an audience with the girl.” “I'll arrange it, boss.” “Good and make sure my son doesn't know about the little visit.” Yuri nods his acquiescence just as Jeremy bounds into the room and Yuri subtly leaves. “To what do I owe this pleasure, father.” Unsurprisingly, his bastard of an heir didn't look very happy to see his father after locking him up in a house for more than twenty-four hours. “Did you tell the girl?” He bares his teeth at his father, “That has nothing to do with you.” “The fucking ingrat

    JoJo's POV I wake up in his arms, feeling the warmth of his body heat fanning against my skin. His breath is shallow but when I crane my neck to see, his eyes are shut. He's asleep. I need to pee, so I try to untangle myself from his arms but they only tighten around me. “Whereareyougoing?” His deep voice is a gruffy rasp and I feel its feathery weight on my skin as he rolls us to the other side of the bed. “I need to pee!” I whisper-yell, squeezing my sore thighs in impatience. “Okay, okay.” He begrudgingly lets go of me and I slap his chest before I scurry over to the bathroom. In my birthday suit. At this point, I can't be embarrassed about rushing off to the bathroom barebacked with him in the room. Not after he’s fucked me ten ways to Sunday. I bend over to pee and I realize Jeremy cleaned me up earlier and that single thought has me holding onto my chest and hyperventilating in the kitchen sink. What does this mean? Why did he clean me up? Does this mean we're togeth
