When Bad Boys Fall II 57
Jackie’s POVAround the room were clothes, scattered around, on the bed, the floor and the couches. I was going to regret messing up the room like the way it is by the end of the day but I could not blame myself… sort of. My trip to New York was tomorrow and I have been too lazy to pack my bags or done anything to show that I had an important trip hours away. I had a night plane so maybe that was what made me feel lazy and think I had extra hours.“Ugh!” I was frustrated. “Where the hell is my green shirt?”My head felt heavy and my mind was racing from the stress I was feeling. My eyes darted around the room in search of it. I ran my fingers through my hair and roughened my hair. I groaned and went to my bed and sat on it. I glared at my luggage and crossed my arms.“I wish the idiot I consider my so called partner was here. I would not be stresses about this. Tsk, I would not even be making this trip. Instead, I would have been getting the baby mama or baby girl treatment.” I frowne

Jackie’s POVThe universe either hated me or I committed a crime in my past life, and this was the day I paid for it. How was it that out of all the investment companies to be interested in my project, it had to be where Lucas worked at. I wanted whatever prank this was to end.Lucas fucking Hamilton was sitting at the head of the table, eyes wide and mouth open in surprise. It felt like I was having a bad dream seeing him there. I was either still at my hotel sleeping or was still in Atherton because there was no way I was seeing Lucas again after he left me.“Miss. Garner?”I flinched and faced the person that had called my name. It was an older man, giving me a strange look. I smiled and nodded. I was here for something important and I was not about to ruin that because of the man on the other side of where I stood.“My apologies,” I said and placed my things on the table then opened my bag with shaky hands.I pulled out the file full of my proposal and started to distribute it to

Jackie’s POVI chose not to make a move. Maybe if I don’t move, he won't speak again.“Jackie.”I shut my eyes, praying he stopped and let me walk away. I did not have the strength or mind to face him, I was still getting over the shock of seeing him again. I was between a rock and a hard place right now; I wanted to lash out at him or walk away. This was not how I expected us to meet again.My back straightened when I heard him walking toward me. I held the straps of my bag tightly when his body entered my line of sight then he stood in front of me. I looked down at our feet and swallowed.“Look at me, please,” he said, and I bit my lip. “How are you here and—-”“What kind of question is that?” I asked, cutting him off. “Look, I have places to be and being here with you isn’t one of them.”“Please,” he said, taking a step closer and somehow blocking my lane to the door. “Please, can we talk? I have so much to explain to you and—”“What do you have to explain? No, tell me. Would sayin

Jackie’s POVAfter he explained everything, I was left feeling as if my tongue was heavy. Lucas just told me everything that I wanted to hear and I was still feeling conflicted. I was happy though. Happy that he was not with her, that he was still in love with me. It made me feel a relief in me but our relationship was too much for me to handle because—“Jackie?”I blinked and turned my head to stare at him. He was giving me a small smile while he looked at me. I took my time to admire his face. He was still the same good looking guy I fell for. His beautiful blue eyes was still the same pretty eyes I love to look at, his perfect full yet arched brows, and those slightly thick lips that shielded a perfect row of white teeth. Looking at him, he looked more mature, with whispers of beards around his jawline. The more I stared, the more I could see the stress in his eyes.“Lucas?” I barely knew I was saying his name until he hummed and I blinked in realization.“What is it?” He asked and

Jackie’s POVI barely slept a wink last night when my head was full of Lucas and my relationship with him. I felt like my high school self when I met Lucas. Butterflies in my belly and heart fluttering. Stupid absentminded smile throughout the night and head empty, just Lucas. I needed to control myself or it was the hormones making me act the way I was being. I was certain it was my pregnancy hormones. I wanted his touch on my body, ever since he left. Something about getting him to fuck me, to make me come undone from his touch burned inside me.I sighed from frustration when I started to throb from the images of a shirtless Lucas, standing before me with his muscular upper body displayed for me to look at with him in gray sweatpants that would be low on his hips, those hips that I found sexy, especially when his V-line was showing.“Damn it,” I said under my breath and slowly got out of bed, dispelling the images of Lucas. “Get a hang of your damn self.”Someone knocked on my door,

Chapter’s Soundtrack It’ll Be Okay By Shawn Mendes.Jackie’s POVThe sight of the woman before me made me feel so small. She had the most intimidating aura and her dress sense let me know that she was not just a random girl and if I was a guy, I would ask her out right this instant. Heck, I understood if Lucas left me for her. She was perfect.“Jackie?”I blinked and flushed from embarrassment when I realized that I had my mouth hanging open. I closed it and cleared my throat then faced Jared who was smiling like an idiot. I glared at him before looking sideways at Maddie when she drew out a seat and sat down.“Hi,” she said and stretched out her hand for a shake.I smiled and shook her hand then dropped it on the table. We were silent for what seemed to be an eternity before Jared burped.“Look, can you be normal for one second? Just one… if one is too much for you, half a second then,” Maddie said with plea heavy in her voice.I didn’t even know when I burst out laughing. It was pro

Jackie’s POVLucas kissing me until my heart melted and body ignite in flames made me crazy for more. With one hand on my hip and the other cupping my cheek. He was kissing me as if I was glass that would break if he was not careful and that healed a part of me and made me feel safe with him in that moment.Soon after, he pulled away from my lips, leaving a small space between our lips. I wanted more from him to the point I gripped his shirt and pulled him closer, making him scoff a smile. He cleared his throat and took a step back, putting a huge space between us. He smiled at me and all I could see his defiance in his eyes. He didn’t want to leave me.“Uh… Do you want to dance more?” He asked and I shook my head.“I want to eat more.”Lucas beamed and rushed over to the table. He pulled out my seat and I giggled before walking over to the seat. I sat down on it and he poured more raspberry juice into my cup then plated more food on my plate. I picked up my spoon and took a bite whil

Jackie’s POVHow was Lucas’ mom here? What business did she have with the people here? Was she friends with one of the women or knew Darrell’s mom? I was not comfortable with what I was seeing or the sudden change of atmosphere. My heart was beating fast as I felt like I was caught doing something bad.“Uh… Jackie. My name is Jackie,” I said, replying to her question and the women awed while she kept a blank face on.“You have such a beautiful name.”“She is really pretty.”“Prettier in person.”I shook my head internally at the words the women were uttering and smiled. I glanced at Darrell when he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to his side. His behavior confused me, but I ignored it and kept smiling.“She is indeed, and I am very happy to have her in my family.”A woman, looking in her fifties with long black hair and a red dress rose from her seat, smiling. I could see a small resemblance on her face. She looked like Darrell a little bit and I knew at that m

Jackie’s POV“Evangeline, please.”I laughed at the way Matt had spoken. He was so down bad for Evangeline who gave him an incredulous look. I watched him wrap his arms around her waist and put his face in her neck. I could see that Evangeline was blushing from his touch, and it made me happy for her. At least, Matt has become a new man and no longer the person he was, plus, he made her happy even though she still played hard to get. I shipped them so hard. The day they announced that they were dating, I would rejoice.“Are you done?”I looked away from the duo to Andrea who was pointing at the sliced apples on the chopping board. In her arms was Paul, who was sucking on his pacifier. He grinned when he noticed my attention was on me, making my heart melt.“Lucas’ mom wants to see you,” Andrea said, and confusion filled.“Me?” I pointed at my chest. “Do you know why?”“Girl, I don’t know. She just wants to talk to you about something.”I dropped the knife I was holding and wiped my han

Chapter’s Soundtrack Love Me Hard by Elly DuheLucas’ POVI felt the dawn of a new day and opened my eyes. There was slight darkness in the room as my eyes took in the expanse of the room. I yawned and tried to stretch, only to feel a weight on my arm. I blinked and looked down, then smiled at the sight of Jackie sleeping in my arms. My heart fluttered at the feel of her body resting against mine, fitting perfectly.I held my breath when she moved and moaned before cuddling me more. I pressed my lips against her head and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. I looked at the hand that was fisted on my bare chest then took it, lacing it with mine. I brought her hand close to my face and kissed the knuckles of her hand. I opened her hand and pressed her soft palm on my cheek before nuzzling it with my nose.She moaned and moved in my arms again, making me stop what I was doing. She moved her head against my chest, rubbing her nose on it before raising her head off it. I smiled when she co

Lucas' POVI knew trying to trigger Henry was the wrong move but seeing Matt and Jackie with me gave me the courage to know that we would all walk out alive, but it seemed as if I was wrong as I watched him pull the trigger. The first thing that came to my mind was to protect Jackie, and how a repeat of what happened was about to repeat itself.But what I did not expect was for Matt to stand between us and Henry, taking the bullet. When he dropped to the ground, it felt as if everywhere around me went dark. My heart squeezed from fear and worry as I stared down at his body that lay unmoving on the floor.When Jackie screamed, I snapped out of my state and looked up with rage coursing through my veins. Henry was stiff from shock, and I took that as an opportunity to dash my way to him. I hit the and that held the gun, sending it flying away. Before he could react, I hit him in the face. I barely had any strength but adrenaline to finish off Henry was in me. I had the urge to kill him,
When Bad Boys Fall II 81
Jackie’s POVFear was back.I could feel the fear just as I could feel the weight of the gun against my cheek as he began to count from number one. I looked away from Lucas to the side to try to stare at the monster. He had a nasty smile on his face, a maniacal one that reminded me of Maddy’s. It was crazy how there were psychopaths moving with us. Why couldn’t my love life have jealous exes who did not murder and crazy family members who didn’t just like their child’s partner?“Three… You’re not saying anything, son.”He needed to stop calling him that.My heart skipped a beat when he dug the mouth of the gun into my cheek, making me feel pain there. I gritted my teeth and tried to look over my shoulder at Matt. What was that fucker doing? He needed to cut the man off per our agreement.“Tw—”“Wait,” Matt said, getting our attention.I let out a sigh of relief and thanked the heavens when he left my head and let me fall back to the floor. I crawled over to Lucas’ feet and held his an

Jackie’s POVI felt like I was going crazy from all the influx of emotions inside of me.Anger, sadness, guilt, worry and shame.They were at war within me as I tried to clear my mind, to remain sane, to be hopeful. I was forcing myself to believe that it was not my fault. I was not at fault for losing Drake and was about to lose Lucas too. I felt so stupid all because I wanted to get a few school items. If I had just waited a little more, or forgot about it, a stranger would not have snuck into our home and taken my child.Tears formed in my eyes, and I let them fall, heating up my cold cheeks. I sniffled and began to cry softly. I had no idea what condition Drake and Lucas were in while I sat in comfort. I hated feeling useless. I wished I could do something to save Lucas and Drake, but I was useless. I was barely healed from childbirth and that made me even more angry.I curled my body on the bed and cried harder, trying to force the pain in my heart to seize. I grabbed a handful o

Lucas’ POVPain, dullness and a slight feverish feeling was heavy on me as I struggled to open my eyes. I started to feel confused, wondering where I was and what had happened, especially why it felt as if I could not move. My chest felt heavy and at the same time, it felt as if I could not feel one side of my body.I opened my eyes and hissed as an ache hit my head. I blinked multiple times before my eyes opened properly. I raised my head and groaned when my arm hurt so badly. I looked at the arm and saw that the sleeve of my jacket was stained with blood.“Finally awake?” A deep voice asked.I tried to sit up and grunted when I realized that I was tied to the spot I was sitting in. I looked down at my body and saw a thick rope tied around my torso, arms and legs. I raised my gaze to the person and frowned when I saw Henry. He was sitting on a couch across the room, holding a gun and a glass of wine.“Untie me, you bastard,” I demanded, and he laughed with a shake of his head.“I kno

Everything around me felt as if I was in some type of bad dream that I desperately wanted to wake up from.Jared was beside me on the plane, trying to calm me down but his words were either distant or jumbled up. All I could think of was Drake. What was anyone doing when such happened? Was Jackie okay? Was anyone harmed? I needed answers.Almost two hours later, I arrived at Atherton and booked a ride home. The moment we arrived at our destination, I rushed out of the car, leaving Jared to pay for the ride.

Lucas’ POVI returned to Rochester the following day the moment Ruth came to Atherton, saying she wanted to see her nephew. She was still pensive about Cindy’s son, Paul. She hated Cindy right from the beginning, even before Paul was conceived and her hatred now made more sense to her than before. So, when she texted me that she was in Atherton to see her nephew and not nephews, I knew what she meant. I already made her understand that hating a child that had nothing to do with how nasty his real mother was made no sense and she just told me she didn’t hate the boy.I just didn’t want any more bad blood between our families as our generation needed to move on and make amends from the damages created by our older family members. Which was why I was still stunned and somewhat relieved when the person who bought the night racing group was Matt Jefferson. I never knew the fucker had it in him to be good for fucking once.A knock on my office door made me blink out of my thoughts. I cleare

Jackie’s POVEver since I saw the email stating that the scholarship I had applied for was a success, I have not been in the right state of mind. All I could think about was what Lucas would say or how he would react to the news.Looking at him now, it was hard to tell what he was thinking because of how blank his expression was as he read through the paper again and again. I knew this was going to be difficult. I had applied for the scholarship after Andrea sent me a link to the school since her family knew the dean. When I applied for it, I never thought he and I would get back with each other. I was scared now that we were back together. The scholarship would keep me out of the continent for years and it made me worried with fear.“Lucas?” I said his name softly.I watched the edges of his mouth twitch before it expanded into a smile. I was confused for a second before he looked up at me with an even bigger smile on his face. He opened his arms like before and I got even more confu
