JOJO'S POV I'm wearing my favorite hoodie— I might’ve picked it from Jeremy’s closet— and am currently waiting hiding near the ticket counter at the airport when a finger taps my shoulder from behind. “Hola!” a voice shouts, making me jump in fright. “Jeez Kendrick!” Mallory whisper-yells at her and I turn to both of them. “What are you two doing here?” I demand. They were supposed to buy the tickets online and send me the numbers and I've been here, hiding around the counter waiting for the woman to call my name and also trying not to look too suspicious to the hundreds of cops crawling over every nook and cranny of the airport. I feel like a freaking addict in the middle of a dope test. “To deliver the tickets,” Kendrick says with a smile. She's wearing a yellow puff jacket, a head warmer, a cashmere turtle sweater under the puff jacket, thick boyfriend jeans, snow boots, and mittens. All yellow. And I'm gaping as I ask her, “What are you wearing?” “Something warm.” She t
Anita wore white for the occasion. It was a special event and she'd taken a liking for the blunt shade but she was going to stain it before the night was over. And she couldn't care less. ****** The man shivered like a leaf as buckets of ice-cold water splashed on him, soaking his designer shirt and trousers, slinking into his Million-dollar watch and rendering it useless but that was the last of his problems right now. He had less than thirty minutes to get back up and get out of this mess. The man is still locked in his hyper-focused thinking when a splash of freezing liquid whips at his face. His nose wrinkles at the odor emanating from the liquid and that's when he decides to react. “Hey!” He bangs his fists against the cage, trapped like an ape for show. More of the disgusting liquid is splashed on him and he realizes the liquid is a sticky substance as more and more of it splashes on him. He hears the sound of
Maxim had trapped Kila and he needed that unyielding son of his to understand there was no escape. His son had woken up three days after the surgery and was speedily recovering to the point that he was able to bang on the soundproof door of his cell room and scream profanities at the cameras blinking at him from the top corner of the room. Kila was held down protected in one of Maxim's numerous safe houses which was an abandoned warehouse that had been furnished to look like a comfy residential apartment with plush art paintings, expensive burgundy rugs, and beautiful furniture but Kila was limited to traipse one part of the house, his room which was constantly surveyed and monitored from the different CCTV cameras positioned in different corners of his room. To say Kila was pissed when he woke up strapped to the bed like a mental patient would be putting it lightly. He broke the doctor's nose and proceeded to injure the first two guards who tried to restrain him until he was held
JEREMY'S POV “Why are you telling me this?” “Because you're slipping away from your purpose as the heir of the—” “Are you even my father?” I cut him off with the voiced-out thought. “Don't be stupid, boy. What sort of question is that?” “It is a valid question, seeing that you can't even face me.” “What?” “You hide behind a smoke screen to deliver the craziest news I've ever heard and you expect me to believe you?” I scoff and walk over to the bathroom. I open the pill cabinet and pull out the first aid kit then I head back to the bedroom to see my father, Maxim Vongov, in his full glory standing at the doorway with an irritated expression and I'm rein in the urge to pummel him to the ground. How dare he spit on her memory even after forcing her to arrange her death? My teeth ache from being clenched so hard so I smack my lips, loosening my gums as I sit on the bed. My muscles turn stiff and corded with tension as he moves into the room. Maxim first sits at the edge of th
JOJO'S POV Hangovers are the worst. I wake up in a dark room to see a double silhouette looming over me. My unfocused eyes try to take in my surroundings but I can't see past the figure in front of me. A finger lightly traces my freckles and goosebumps skitter across my skin at the cold touch. I blink hard, trying to see through the one in front and my nostrils flare at the scent of the one before me. Jeremy? A hand is extended towards me and I hesitate to take it so the figure leans to my ears. “It's me.” “Jeremy?” “Yes,” The figure draws back only an inch away from my face. I raise my palms to pinch my cheeks, “Am I dead?” “No.” I trace my finger over his brows, “Are you dead?” I hear his soft chuckle, “No,” “Then why can't I see you?” “Your contacts fell off.” My head slants to the side, “They've never fallen off without encouragement. He shrugs and I realize my fingers are now tracing the angles, curves, and sharp planes of his face. “I want to see you,” I whi
SIX DAYS AGO in Claire Eastwood's Memory… It was a simple hit and it was meant to go without a hitch. Besides, she was in love with the guy so doing the job would be easy peasy. Infiltrate the group, seduce Jeremy, win his trust, or at least get close enough to learn a few details Specific deets then relay the information and voila, the job is done! but nothing ever goes as planned in the spy business, does it? Claire was on a call with her blackmailer but she liked to think of him as her version of horrible bosses. In a way, it lessened the trauma of everything she was put through in those dark days. “Through the crazy encounter at Jeremy's house that started from a normal case of kissing the wrong guy— by the way, Knight might be a silent wall of muscle but damn! he could turn a nun into a screaming hussy, drunk or not…” Claire grabbed the baby wipes and began removing the smeared makeup on her face. “Anyway, the redheaded bitch storms into the room and starts hitting me and— an
FIVE DAYS AGO IN CLAIRE EASTWOOD'S MEMORY Twelve minutes after hanging up on Lisa, Claire was back on her bed. Her legs were bent in a perfect butterfly cross and she burst into nervous laughter as something glowed brightly in her hand. She was scrolling through her messages and that horrible feeling of dread kept building as she opened the messaging app. Felix had left forty-two unread messages and the threats went from vague at the beginning to downright screaming in her face. Felix wasn't happy with her, that was for sure. And it wasn't even her fault everything happened the way it did. In her version of events, Justin's car was parked right outside Jeremy's gate like he was about to enter and when he saw her disheveled appearance, he immediately offered to drive her home. She expressed how grateful she was to which he waved it off. He might've called her a gold-digging slut with no standards, she might've responded with a few choice words that included druggie and cocksuc
JOJO'S POV “I'm scared…” My lips quiver as I look up at him and understanding dawns on his face but the words spill out my lips. “I'm scared it will be like before, I'm scared that what happened before will—” “Shhh, it's okay Josephine.” Jeremy draws back so I can look into his eyes and they're burning with intensity. “I understand what you mean, I was an asshole back then.” “Aren't you the same now?” I tease and he nips at my ear. “You tell me, Josephine. You tell me.” He rolls us over so he's on top of me and whispers in my ear. “I'm not going to leave you tonight. I'm going to love every fucking inch of your body and I'm going to show you just how beautiful you are.” I turn my face away so he won't see my blush. “Come here,” He kisses me and murmurs something then he looks into my ears. “I'm sorry for leaving you.” “I forgive you.” The words slip through my lips without any encouragement and I blanche momentarily at the realization that I've forgiven him and I might be i
