FINAL PHASE
STRICTLY BUSINESS FINALE
Addelyn’s POV
I. Want. Blood.
That’s the only thing that runs through my head as I stare at the male beast in front of me. Nothing would please me more than to watch him wither away and die. And it’d be better if I could do it with my own hands.
But no. I must love him. At least for the night.
And I was totally prepared to do so, until Weston showed up at my door. He looked like an idiot, honestly. And it took everything I had not to burst out laughing. His blue suit, and fluffy white shirt were not at all becoming on him. But my heart welled with joy when I saw him anyways. Only because I saw the effort. And really, that’s all I wanted from him.
I knew he was going to show up. I never sent him a text message like I told him. I knew Jackson would find it hard to believe that I was actually going with him unless he was an audience to the break-up between Weston and I. So he got his little show. But what makes him laugh now will only make him cry later.
“What a loser,” Jackson says, sitting down on the couch and wrapping his arm around my waist. “I’m glad you made the right choice, though. I knew you could never resist me.”
“Well,” I smile up towards him. “I’ve always wanted to be with you. I’m just glad you talked to me. But I do wish it would’ve been a little sooner.”
“I know, babe. But don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you later.” He winks and I feel a little bile come up in my mouth at the idea. I swear, if I had my baseball bat…
Jackson laughs. “And did you see that limousine? Weston’s the son of a multi-millionaire lawyer and that’s the best he could do? That thing looked like it was about to fall apart any second. Now I don’t feel so bad about taking you in my car.”
Yeah, the limo was… interesting. But I’m sure there’s a very reasonable explanation as to why that would’ve been my transportation. But at least he made an effort to take me in a limo. Jackson was so cheap, he wouldn’t even do that.
