Fleeing the Nightmarish Father novel Chapter 115

JACEY’S POV:-

Being with Jared was so tranquilizing, his words, his smile, everything about him was warming my heart.

My heartbreak began to disperse as I gradually began to search for new reasons to live thanks to him.

“I am glad you are here then, I feel peaceful when I talk to you.” I whispered when we were having an ice-cream after work.

He offered me a place near his office as we both shared a pleasant time.

“Did Dariel ask you to keep an eye on me so I won’t do something to myself in regret and sadness?” I asked in a playful tone because I saw no reasons for him to be this kind to me.

In fact, after Dariel, he was the second man to care this much for me. Sam never did this- Nevermind.

“What? No. Though I feel the same and that is why I come to you.” He chuckled sweetly.

“How unfortunate Sam would be for neglecting you. He had someone who could adore him the most yet he chose to give her pain,” He spoke, evoking strange feelings in my chest at his heartfelt comment.

“I could say the same for you. For Veronica, you turned blind, fought your parents, left Saafia and what did you gain by loving her?”

He pondered about my words and returned a smile that warm my heart unknowingly.

“I guess that is what life is.”

Anything he did or said was becoming beautiful. It sounded pleasant.

“You make right and wrong choices, we don’t know what the future holds for us. We make mistakes and redeem ourselves. Couldn’t be all the same, can it?”

“Where do you learn such talks?” I asked in disbelief because the comments I heard about him being a ‘loser’ were wrong.

“Life.” He whispered, creating a keen eye-contact that stiffed me.

We both ended up chuckling. I had been learning a lot from Jared, he was truly comforting me to the point, I wanted to start living again.

Or else I was consumed by shame.

When we were drowning in each other’s company, unexpectedly, Veronica came to us.

“Jared, what are you doing with her? What are you doing with him? Did you get tired of your Sam huh?” She growled, wiping our smiles instantly.

“Watch your mouth, Veronica. Don’t you dare to speak ill of Jacey.”

My eyes widened when he growled at Veronica for me, causing her to gasp and fake her usual drama which I had seen years ago.

“How could you say this?!”

“I believe we are exes now. Did you forget how you left me? How shameless could you be to show me your face after what you did? How low could you possibly go, Veronica?” He scoffed, rolling his eyes, folding his arms at his chest.

“I strayed, Jared. I am sorry, I don’t know what happened to me, please. You know how much I loved you, I can’t bring myself to leave you-”

She was about to fake tears and whimper to come to him after being dumped by Helder probably but as if she would get accepted after being so selfish.

“Enough. Don’t show that drama to me. My doors for you closed the day you left me. Now leave me.” Jared ordered seriously.

“Oh is it because you are that Sam’s bit-”

“Get lost.” He glared, hitching her breaths.

Coming before me as I stared at his strong form, inducing weird sensations. The broadened back, making him look handsome.

Was he always like this?

“Jared, please,”

“Leave. We are done.”

She opened her mouth but knew she had no place left in our lives. Breaking into a sob, she moved back glaring at us.

“May the worst happen to all of you!” She yelled and ran away after being into a sob.

Narrowing my eyes, I didn’t like how she cursed us.

After Veronica left, I unintentionally held his arm that brought all his attention to me.
