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. Falling in love with him
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
Alex’s POVI was putting my clothes on while Jenny was taking a shower in the bathroom.While the kiss was beyond anything I was expecting that it left me groaning for more and causing my dick to swell to its full length, I was left worried about her.She seemed to enjoy it a lot and even went for a second kiss with no hesitation, I felt and heard her moan which travelled straight to my dick.But then her expression changed drastically and I almost kicked myself for kissing her so soon. I was supposed to wait and give her time to adjust to me. But, when I got out of the shower and caught her eyes roaming all over my body, when I saw the look of hunger on her face, I couldn’t resist from teasing her about it. And then one thing led to another, and here we are.I was disappointed a little when she shied away from me and refused to open up to me and reveal what was bothering her all of a sudden, I was also dying to know what she was thinki
Jenny’s POV “About what?” I asked tightly. “About me asking for forgiveness for being such a horrible ass to you since you got here?” he said gently. Well, Alex did say he felt guilty but I didn’t believe him for a second then. Now, looking into his eyes which were clearly filled with remorse, I don’t know anymore. I decided to go along with him to see where this will get me. “Would you like a cinnamon roll? They’re freshly baked” I asked softly. It took him a few seconds to respond, obviously stunned that I didn’t yell at him to get away from me. “Sure, I would never pass on a cinnamon roll” he said lightly as he came by and sat on a stool in front of the center counter. I put two pieces on the plate and placed it in front of him. He took a bite and groaned “These are so delicious, I don’t think two is going to be enough” I smiled and said “Well, I made an entire trey for you, while the other on
Alex’s POVI messaged Lucas and told him to head back to the house because I was going to be late and wasn’t going to make it back to the warehouse on time.I surveyed each camera from the day before the wedding and the same day. Those were the only days the shooter could have been smuggled inside in. Because up until those two days, my father was checking the feed regularly and he would have taken some actions if he noticed something suspicious.It took me literally five hours to survey all the feeds from all the five cameras, I was being extra careful not to let anything slip by me so I took my time with them.When the last feed ended, I got up from my stiff position and started walking around the empty warehouse to relieve my sore muscles. I was as confused as I have been; if not more, since I first walked in here looking for a god damn answer.I started analyzing what I saw in those feeds logically, trying to make sense of the lack
