Jenalyn: Daring to Defy (#1)[Complete]

Chapter 36: Dane

Wednesday, 4:43 P.M.

I've done a lot of thinking while I was out running errands today. A lot of thinking about Jenalyn, of course, because the bitch always seems to find her way into my mind. Not just Jenalyn though. She somehow found a way to bring Rob into her turmoil... to the point where I really considered taking him out.

I considered checking my live feed from the house, but Rob set them up for fuck's sake- so that'd be a waste. I also considered tricking Ev into finding out the truth from Jena, knowing if anything was going on, Ev was probably the only person Jena would tell. I even went as far as to work out a plan to set them both up alone with camera's I'd have to set up on my own, but worth the time if I caught what I needed.

But nothing I considered in the past two hours or so sat right with me. Rob is too close to operations, and Jena is too manipulative to where any of those plans would leave undeniable results.

My phone notifies me of another credit card charge, this time from the cable company for some movie rented at the house.

I put my truck into park, turn it off, but can't get out of my seat. This isn't just going to slide though, I think to myself with a fire starting to boil my blood.

I think about Jena, and how easily she snapped back as soon as my focus shifted from her to Rob. How just last night, I was seconds from throwing her out a damned window- and today? Apparently funding a fucking house party for her. Would she really try to set him up like this?

... do I really have to question that?

She cried to me about how I needed to take care of him for what he did to her. She put such a huge focus on it, in that moment, and in that moment only. After that? Business as usual.

Until I bring them all here and she, what? Realized I was really about to kill him? And changed her mind??

She got me to fall for her shit again, is what she did. And Rob was just a fucking pawn in her game! A fucking scapegoat when he fucked up and put his dick in her mouth. 

I can't believe this shit... she really got me! 

I grab my phone and pull up a message thread with Rob. My blood wants to boil when I think about him, remembering last night- but I have to remind myself that it was probably a part of Jena's plan to frame him.

Dane: Need you to do
something for me.

He responds almost immediately, as he always does when I contact him- another reason I could beat myself for letting Jena get in my head.

Rob: Yepp

I don't let myself think too much on the words that make their way to my screen. I don't want to let myself think too much about it. Even through my anger and frustration toward Jena, my chest still finds a way to tighten as I press send.

Dane: Make a move
on Jena. A serious move,
like you're trying to get
into some sneak type shit.
