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
Hello! I can't express enough how overjoyed I am with your amazing interactions with this book. It really gave me tons of positive vibes and happiness to read your comments and feedback. So I have something major to ask you, would you perfer that I update ONE chapter a day (5 days for each weekday with weekends off to spend with my family) or stick to my original schedule of 5 chapters once a week? As a reader, I perfer multiple chapters at once even if i have to wait for it, but that's just me. I want to know what you think. I will make a decision on Monday based on the majority of your comments. Have a nice weekend and I hope you liked these new chapters <3
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
Jenny’s POVMegan, April, and I sit in the living room as we chat and talk about different things.It was very nice having Megan over and having a good time again after a very long period of hurt and sadness.Diana joins us at one point as she introduces herself to Megan and sits with us for a while before excusing herself to go help Sara with lunch.She invited Megan to stay for lunch but Megan promised her to stay another time.Even Lucas made a small appearance when he noticed an unfamiliar guest in the living room.I introduced them to each other and I noticed how Lucas was checking her out and Megan did not like that action one bit as she pursed her lips and practically glared at him until he looked away.Suffice it to say he was too nervous to sit with us as Megan made it clear that he wasn’t welcomed to, so he left briefly after the introduction.“April seems really nice, I’m glad you have each ot
Jenny’s POVI was pacing back and forth nervously in my room.It was ten thirty at night and Alex still hasn’t returned home since morning.He’s been gone all day long.He missed both lunch and dinner, which was something very uncommon of him according to his mom.I didn’t know what to make of that disappearance.Was he looking for the real killer? Or was it that he found him and was late taking care of him?Wouldn’t he have mentioned anything to Lucas too?But he obviously didn’t, because Lucas looked as surprised as the rest of us when Alex called his cell to inform him that he was returning home late and not to wait up for him.The more pressing question here is, why the hell was I feeling worried for him? It was none of my business to feel that way.He can be out with another woman for all I care! I shouldn’t be concerned about him!But dammit I was.And
My first thank you is always to you amazing readers. Your continuous support gives me so much encouragement to keep writing new books. I hope this book also reached your expectations and left a good impression in all of you. Like I always say, I really wrote the story right from the depth of my heart and put myself in all the characters’ places in order to convey the right feelings and words to reach you. I hope you were satisfied with how it ended, not just for Lucas and Angelina, but for the whole Snow family. Having said that, the end doesn’t always mean that there will be no story left to tell. Jacob Snow is as intriguing and complex as the rest of his brothers, if not more. It’s not certain for me yet, but I’m considering writing his story and starting it just before the events of the epilogue took place; specifically from the day he met, interviewed, and hired his personal assistant who’s secretly annoyed and exasperated with his stoic and harsh personality but is forced to pu
Five Years LaterLucas’s POVI wake up to the sound of my little munchkin Hope, sucking; or rather slurping, on her mother’s left nipple fervently while her deep blue eyes were gazing adorably at Angel.She takes breast feeding to a whole other level. This baby is as obsessed with her mother’s nipples almost as much as I am.At one year old, you’d think she would have started preferring real food over milk, but no. You don’t mess with her mother’s milk and keep her away from it or god help you, she will bite your head off, literally. I would know, she is my little girl after all. She has the same crazy genes all right. She keeps us on our toes all the freaking time, and she’s not even walking and talking yet.The same thing cannot be said about Isaac, Alex and Jenny’s son. He’s almost ten months old and you can already tell the chubby little bastard has his father’s tame and wise attitude. He’s an angel compared to my girl. But he also doesn’t take shit from anybody. You mess with him
Three Weeks LaterLucas’s POV“Angelina, you’re the purest angel that god has sent my way during my darkest moments. You’re the light that shined through the black hole that was enveloping my heart, the missing piece of my heart I didn’t even know I was missing until I met you. I never thought I would ever fall in love someday. It wasn’t within my plans. Mostly because I knew and accepted who I am, and I was sure that no girl can ever put up with my crazy, screwed up head and stick with me long enough to even fall in love with me. My heart instantly recognized you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I tried to deny it, push it away, hell I even thought my head got completely fried and that I went full on crazy because you awakened feelings in me that I’ve never felt before. It scared the hell out of me. And after I accepted that I was falling head over heels for you, after I embraced it and welcomed it because nothing felt better than those feelings you ignited in me, I was scared as
Lucas’s POVI sit by her bed side for hours without moving. Holding her hand tightly, not willing to let her out of my sight. She slept the entire time, not moving by an inch. The doctor did say it will take a few hours for her to regain consciousness, but still, I worried.Each member of my family came inside briefly to check on us. My mom tried to get me to take some rest, go drink something warm, or eat something then come back. But I adamantly refused to move from my place.Eventually I made them all return to Snow. They were already tired and it was a very long day… for everyone.I promised them that I will call as soon as she wakes up to let them know.“Come on baby, don’t torture me further. Please… show me those magical blue eyes and that heart throbbing smile. Let me hear that angelic voice and extinguish the fire burning me alive” I whispered softly, in a pleading tone.I kissed her hand softly, over and over again, relishing in the warmth of her skin. I let my other hand pl
Lucas’s POV“Lucas!” Alex was gripping me tightly, trying to calm me down, and prevent me from damaging my hands which were pretty banged up already, but I couldn’t be controlled, not right now. I was a raging beast, ready to rip apart anything within my reach.“Take him outside. He can’t stay here. I’ll call you if any updates arrive” I heard mom tell Alex emotionally.“Come on, Lucas. Let’s go buddy” Alex said soothingly as he lifted me up with David supporting me from the other side.My voice got hoarse from all the screaming and growling and it became just raspy, low-pitched, whimpers full of pain, internal suffering, and heartbreak.I let them drag me without paying attention to where they were taking me.They sat me down on a wide bench outside the hospital and sat on either sides of me.“She’s the bravest girl I’ve ever met” said Alex sincerely next to me. I tore my gaze from the ground and looked sideways to see him staring at me intensely.“And because of that braveness, you
Lucas’s POVI felt it right away.Her body relaxed completely, her head rested against my chest, and her breathing got cut off in the middle of my kiss.“No, no, NO!” I began panicking, my heart threatening to explode with unbearable pain.“ANGEL!” I screamed out, touching her face with my shaky hand, unable to believe that she was gone, ripped away from my arms.The car screeched to a halt abruptly and the man driving our car got out quickly and sprinted inside the ER to alert some doctors.I looked at my mom in shock and saw her tears falling down in a heavy flow.“Mom….” I whispered in agony.She shook her head and said emotionally “Stay strong Lucas. She’s not gone yet, they’re going to bring her back. She’s tough and she’s going to fight like hell to come back to us, to you. Don’t you give up yet, you hear me?”My side of the door opened and in a matter of seconds, she was taken away from my arms onto a stretcher and hauled inside into one of the ER rooms.Alex took Jenny into an
Lucas’s POVIt didn’t take very long for Alex to distract the man with words enough to let me sneak behind him without raising his awareness, twist the hand he was threatening my mother’s life with, and shoot him in the head with a clean shot all at the same time. He died before he even hit the ground.Had it been a few months ago, I would have never killed him so easily just like that. No, I would have spent hours making him pay viciously for the thirty minutes of terror he caused my family to go through, for laying his filthy hands on any of them, for hurting my angel. I would have made him beg me to kill him and I would have eventually granted him that wish in the most painful way possible.But I didn’t have time to do any of that now. And frankly, for the first time, ever, my mind was at rest about that. The mind that craved pain, screams, and blood of all those who dared to cross my path in the wrong way, was urging me to let things go and save the only person that matters more t
Lucas’s POVAfter about ten minutes of driving in the same direction, Alex said intensely “Hurry up, they drifted off the main road. Ten minutes from here. It looks like they’re headed to Tok”“Tok? They kidnapped them so they could take them to a town thirty minutes from Snow? How dumb are these people?” I asked incredulously.“Actually the exact opposite” said David tightly from behind.“How is that?” I scoffed.“They made sure they couldn’t be traced, they must have switched cars, threw away all the phones, without counting Jenny’s smart move, by the time we started worrying why they haven’t arrived home yet, would it ever occur to you to search for them right under our noses, in the nearby towns? Or would you just assume they took them as far away as they could? Whoever is behind this wants to make a joke out of us. When he finally makes himself known to us and contacts us, he’ll brag about how he fooled us and did this right in our territory without us knowing anything about it”
Lucas’s POV*Forty Five Minutes Earlier*“Any honeymoon destination suggestions?” I asked Alex and David, looking for a little help planning my honeymoon with Angelina after our wedding.She had one week of vacation from college and it couldn’t have come up at a better time.We were all gathered around in the warehouse office waiting for a new shipment to arrive through the border. Mathew and the other men were out there ready to receive it.We had some time to spare and I tried to ask for their opinions.“If she hasn’t been anywhere other than Seattle, you can take her anywhere and she will love it no matter where it is, as long as she has you by her side, the destination isn’t that essential” said Alex softly.He looked to be speaking from experience and I decided to take his word for it.When Alex and Jenny spent a month and a half away from home, I noticed how they came back even more in love with each other than before. And they were extremely madly in love even before they left,
