Chapter 30
Alex’s POV
The doctor comes back after two hours to give her the antibiotics she needed and check on her. She still had a slight fever but it was manageable.
My mom also comes to check on us and stays next to her as she pats on her hair gently. And Jennifer seemed to calm down a bit by those tender gestures.
My hand would stop just a few inches from her hair as I try to do the same thing my mother was doing to comfort her, but I withdraw it every time, I had no right to do it, to comfort her, when I was her biggest source of fear for the past few days. Plus, she did threaten me about touching her while she’s asleep and I didn’t want to do something she warned me not to do.
I stayed next to her the entire time, not leaving her side as she stayed asleep, murmuring nonchalantly every once in a while due to her fever.
I noticed her phone silently getting multiple calls from a person called Megan throughout the day.

Jenny’s POVI wake up feeling so warm and comfortable.The pillow I was sleeping on top of and hugging to my chest was surprisingly snugly and cozy.It wasn’t like any other pillow I’ve ever slept on before.It was tall as I could feel my leg draped over it.It was also hugging me from the back, providing an extra sense of warmness… wait what?I spring my eyes open at once and look up abruptly.I find my face literally an inch away from Alex’s.His eyes were open; but it was obvious that he just opened them, he was looking at me comfortably not surprised by this situation at all.I see his eyes flickering for one second down to my lips then returning back to my eyes.I awake from my shocked state and push myself away from him.I could literally feel all my blood rushing into my cheeks from utter embarrassment.Why the hell was I sprawled on top of him like that?

Alex’s POVJenny was still pretty much occupying most of my thoughts throughout the day.A huge part of me couldn’t wait to go back home and check on her.Unfortunately, I had some business in the warehouse to finish before I head home.We were loading up the trucks to transport them and ship them to their delivery addresses throughout the states.Once the loading was almost over, I pulled out my phone and called uncle Stefan.“Alex, I was just about to call you” he said in a tense voice.“Is everything okay?”“I just came home and found your brother gone”I spring up from my chair in panic.“What do you mean gone?”He must have sensed my train of thoughts and rushed to reassure me.“He left on his own Alex. He left me a note saying that he went to find himself and start a new life away from the family business. That it was never somet

Alex’s POV“Ask away” she said coldly.“You said I didn’t seem any different than them, who did you mean?”She blinked away her tears and answered flatly “My father and uncle”This takes me by huge surprise.Before I could ask she carries on in the same flat tone, as if she doesn’t want to get emotional.“Ever since I could remember. He used to mistreat my mom. Always punish her, hurt her, physically, emotionally, even I bet sexually too. I was too young, I couldn’t understand what was happening then, but I still felt afraid. As soon as the screaming began, I would hide under my bed and cover my ears, not that it did any good. By the time I was old enough, I couldn’t hide anymore. I couldn’t hear her screaming in pain and just accept it. I stood up and took my share of the pain. It doesn’t matter whether we did something wrong or not, he would find a reason f

Jenny’s POVI cannot believe I just unloaded on Alex like that!He just kept pushing me off the edge until I couldn’t keep my mouth shut any more and exploded on him.I even managed to hit him a few times and the weird thing was, he didn’t make a move to stop me at all.I didn’t expect him to be touched or moved by what I revealed to him.He looked really distraught as he left the room after apologizing for everything.I almost saw tears in his eyes!He was totally different than my first impression of him.It made me almost feel bad for speaking so harshly to him, almost.A part of me felt good though, relieved even. No more hidden secrets, no more wrong assumptions about each other.But what’s going to happen now?Is he going to leave me alone and stop trying to fake conversations with me?I hope so.I just want him to totally ignore my existence with him in thi

Alex’s POV I glance at Jenny’s sleeping face. Despite the darkness, I could still make out her soft delicate features. She has been asleep for two hours while I was battling my own demons. Sleep was no where in sight. My mind was racing at a rapid speed trying to make sense of everything happening in my life. The bomb she dropped on me before she went to sleep, rattled me to my core. Someone else was betraying us. I had no doubt. She was very sure about what she heard. And I didn’t question or suspect her honesty at all. She was speaking the truth. Who would dare to cross us like that? One of us was making deals with that son of a bitch behind our backs. A Snow was betraying our family name. What a completely disastrous turn of events! Can’t we even trust our own people? Can’t we depend on each other to keep this town safe from drugs? The bigger question and my main worry was, I had absolutely no idea who that p

Alex’s POV“You’re very welcome” she replied back lightly as she turned her gaze back to the view.I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask her. I still pretty much know nothing about her, only the bad stuff. I have no idea what she likes, what she wants, what she desires.I found myself very interested and curious to know everything there is to know about jenny Walker, or Jenny Snow.Yeah, that feels more right.I wanted to ask her some questions that might bring up the bad stuff, but I really wanted to understand how she thinks, how her mind works, because so far, everything she has revealed to me made me admire her completely different, unique personality. She is not the typical ordinary eighteen year old girl I expected her to be when I first laid eyes on her. I saw her as a kid, but her dark past made me realize that she totally missed out on a happy safe childhood. She was never allowed to be a carefree kid. She grew u

Jenny’s POVI have no idea how we ended up willing to share some private stuff about our lives, but we did. I never expected him to have such a gentle and soft side at all. When you look at him from the outside, you can never guess that this cold, cruel man is capable of showing some sort of affection and tenderness towards anyone, let alone me.His soft warm hands were still wrapped around mine tenderly. The feelings I felt when he touched them for the first time filled me with a feeling I couldn’t put my hands on. It felt good, more than good, it felt like his touch reached deep into my heart and made it flutter. I never experienced such emotion before, and that left me wondering if it was love for him or something else. I never fell in love before, so I don’t know what it actually feels like.The idea that I was having some feelings that resemble love towards Alex both freaked me out and enticed me at the same time.

Jenny’s POVWe stay for a while longer, talking about more general stuff. His hands never leave mine. I found that gesture both confusing and sweet at the same time. It was messing with my head and planting feelings I was fighting to feel or acknowledge. It was also causing me to wonder what he was feeling and whether his gesture was pure innocent instinct to make me feel safe or was it something much deeper and less innocent.“Shall we go back or do you want to stay a little longer?” he asked quietly after a long stretch of silence between us.I removed my left hand from his soft grasp and looked at my watch. My eyes widened in surprise when I looked at the time.“Oh my god! It’s four! I didn’t realize we have been sitting her for so long!” I said in surprise.He gave me a sweet deep smile as he said “I haven’t realized either. It must be because we had so much to talk about, that time slipped
