Hey everyone. I am sorry for the no updates. It was my daughter's birthday Friday, and we had a long weekend celebrating her. Daily updates from today. Let me know what you're thinking of Jagger's story.
Callie POVA loud bang awakes me from the best sleep I have had in a long time. I jolt from the bed, only to be stopped by a pair of strong arms around my waist. I blink several times, adjusting my eyes to the light, and realize I am still with Jagger. This is not my bedroom, and the flashing lights outside show the most amazing view. Thunder and lightning brighten the sky. “Wow,” I let out a whisper as I sit up, and Jagger follows my moves, placing a soft kiss on my shoulder before he looks out of the windows and sees the same things I am seeing. This is stunning. Beautiful. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The lightning illuminates the forest surrounding us, and the shades of green mesmerize me. “It’s beautiful,” I whisper. “Not as beautiful as you,” Jagger lets out. His voice is deeper as he has just woken up. I don’t know how long I stay in the same position, just watching the flashing lights illuminate the sky while Jagger goes back to sleep. I was never the type of p
Jagger POVI can’t believe we have been stuck in this house for the past three days. I am not even letting her go out for air. I can’t get enough of Calliope, and getting to know her is becoming my addiction. “My turn,” she says as she holds on to her wine glass and smiles. We are both sitting on the couch and Calliope has her legs resting on my lap as I cover them with a blanket while we drink red wine and listen to the rain outside.The fireplace is on creating a warm and cozy environment for our get-to-know-twenty-question game. “Do you know how to ride a bike?” Calliope asks, and I can’t help but chuckle. I nod, and she smiles. “I don’t,” she says, and my eyes widen as she shrugs her shoulders. I open my mouth, but Calliope shakes her head and asks another question: “How old were you when you had your first crush?” I frown, trying to remember my first crush. Remembering Miss Miles brings a smile to my face. “Around ten, she was my teacher,” I say, and Calliope smiles. She was ve
Callie POVSpending time with Jagger should’ve been the last thing on my mind, but I can’t stop thinking that everything is going to be different now. He will be going back to being the big-time lawyer, and I will go back to being a student who is suing his client. “Are you ready?” Jagger asks as he looks at me. He is leaning against the door frame, and I smile as I look at him. His inked arms are exposed as his eyes move down my body, doing to me what I am doing to him. I am trying to commit to the memory of his body, his ink, his everything. “Yes,” I reply as I walk to him. He places his hands on my hips, pulling me closer to him. His eyes lock on mine as I bite my lower lip, trying to restrain a moan that is threatening to escape. Jagger bends slightly, places a cast kiss on my temple, and pulls away. I don’t want to go back to reality, but I also know I have been away for four days. I contacted my family and friends, just telling them I was alive and I needed some time alone. I
Jagger POV“Where the fuck have you been?” Dash asks as soon as he opens my office door. He storms inside, and I remove my glasses, throwing them on the desk as I lean back on my chair and watch as my brother looks at me. I raise an unimpressed brow as he sits on the chair opposite mine. “Are you not going to say anything?” He asks, and I shake my head, enjoying way too much how pissed my brother is. I know I should’ve told him, but hey… He knew I was safe. “I thought you were fucking dead,” he adds, and this time I chuckle at his stupidity. Dash looks at me as he crosses his arms in front of his chest. “Don’t be a drama queen,” I say, and Dash’s face becomes bright red as he leans forward and slams his hands on my desk. I look at him, and his hands shake, and I frown. I haven’t checked my messages, and now I realize maybe I should’ve. “What the fuck?”“You’re such an asshole; Wyatt has been worried sick; his deal fell to the ground because of what happened,” Dash adds, and I shrug
Jagger POV“What do you need?” Ghost asks as we pull the bike to the side of the motel. I nod in the direction of the door, and he gives me a small nod as he grabs his gun from the back of his pants. “This is a robbery. Give me the money,” Ghost says as he enters the glass reception area, and I walk past in the direction of the rooms, kicking the door down. The girl screams as she jumps out of the bed, and I find Rover lying on his back with his hands tied to the bed, and I can’t help but smile at the sight in front of me. He is more stupid than I thought. How could he allow a woman to do this to him?“Do you know who I am?” He shouts as I walk towards him, and he moves on the bed, trying to free his hand. I look at the girl on the floor as she looks at me wide-eyed, and I move my head in the direction of the door, she nods her head several times before she grabs her clothes from the floor and leaves the room without looking back. I undo the ties on his wrists and then punch him in
Callie POV“Miss Calliope Flores, would you please come with us?” I hear the police officer say. They just walked into the classroom where I was having one of my exams. I raise my head to look at the woman as she stands next to me. I look at the professor, who looks as confused as I feel, and I frown. “I’m in the middle of an exam. Can’t this wait?” I ask the officer, but she shakes her head. The professor walks to me, trying to figure out what is going on. “I am sure your professor will let you do the exam another day; this is important and can not wait,” the officer says. I nod, biting the inside of my cheek as I looked around the classroom. Everyone was looking at me instead of at the exam. “Can I call my lawyer?” I ask as I leave the room being escorted by two police officers. They stay silent, and I frown as I stop walking. “Can you please tell me what is going on?” I ask, and they look at each other and then back at me. “You will soon find out,” one of them says, and I shake
Jagger POVComing to work as normal seems like the good thing to do today, and I know I did the right thing when Janet walked into my office without knocking. “Oh my God, have you seen the news?” She asks. Her smile is wide, and she looks like she is beaming. Surely, she wouldn’t be this happy with Rover’s death. “No?” I say, raising an eyebrow, trying to keep my cool. I can’t show off that I know what is going on. Especially because I don’t know why she is so happy. “I think you’re going to love this as much as I love it,” she says, walking towards me. I move slightly from my desk, and she starts typing on my laptop. When I look over her shoulder, I realize she really hates the man. I did her a huge favor. “Your client is dead,” she announces as I wheel myself back closer to my desk and start reading the article she opened for me. I Read the title and bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smiling. “Fuck,” I whisper. I need to sound a little more convincing. I can’t seem
Callie POV“Do you want to take that?” Donna asks and I shake my head as I look at the unknown number that was calling me. We have been sitting in this uncomfortable room for about one hour, waiting for a detective to come talk to me. Donna said I am not allowed to say one word, and I agree. They have nothing on me, and they are just trying to intimidate me. This is a huge case and they need to show the press they are doing something. A soft knock on the door makes me look over my shoulder, and Cornelius walks in. He looks flustered and bothered. I frown as he leans closer to Donna, speaking in her ear. I can’t hear what they are saying, and I know he is not doing it to be rude or to stop me from listening, but to stop the police from listening. They have cameras in every corner of this room. I can see the red lights flashing as they record us. The door opens, and two people walk in. They smile politely as they walk to the opposite side of the metal table separating us. Cornelis sta
