《Of Romance and Revenge》Seventeen
Advertisement
(Oliver's POV)
Goddammit.
I finally got back into Camden's good graces and Jasper had to go and fucking ruin it. It's like he knew I was having a good moment and he just had to toy with me.
Like it's not enough that he killed two of my best men and stole my shit. And now Camden wants to come with me to kill him. When I saw that determined look in her eyes, I knew there was no telling her no. She's too damn stubborn for her own good.
We head downstairs immediately, my men and women already mobilizing. Everyone that went to clean up the distribution center was already back and preparing to leave. Within minutes, we're piling into blacked out SUVS, Camden following close behind me.
I look at my Chevelle longingly.
I hate driving these bulky cars, but I just can't risk anything happening to my pride and joy. I just wish I could keep Camden here with it. I roll down my window and pull out a cigarette. Camden scrunches her nose at me in disgust but, thankfully, doesn't say anything.
Though I'd never admit it, my nerves are shot. I grip the steering wheel so tightly, but it's just to keep my hands from visibly shaking. The cigarette hangs loosely between my lips, but I put it between my fingertips before taking a long, hard drag.
I have no idea what I'm sending my people into.
I thought I'd have more time to plan an attack, go over the details before Jasper reared his ugly head, but I have the perfect opportunity to take my revenge- to fuck with him the way he fucked with me- and I have to take it. If I don't, I might not get another chance, or worse, Jasper might come for me again.

Either way, I'm royally fucked.
After about fifteen minutes we arrive at an abandoned fish market where Kingston and Lydia are waiting for us.
"Where are we?" Camden looks over at me confused.
I unbuckle my seatbelt and she follows suit.
"We have to walk from here. The loading dock is a couple of miles up the road, but we can't let them see our cars pulling up."
I walk around to her side and open the door for her, holding my hand out to help her step down. A look of uncertainty crosses her features. She tries to hide it, my stubborn little fighter, but I see right through her. She's just as scared as I am.
"Camden, if you don't want to do this, I completely understand. You can wait here or take the car back."
She shakes her head and squares her shoulders.
"No way, we're in this together."
She holds her pinky out to me- I can't help but crack a small smile. A childhood ritual she'll never let me forget. I wrap my pinky around hers, sealing the deal.
"We're in this together," I nod in agreement.
I lift the trunk of the SUV to reveal a wide array of weapons. I take my pick first before letting everyone grab the weapons of their choosing. I keep the 1911 for myself and hand Camden the Glock 19.
Joe trained her with guns from a young age- wanting to make sure she and his wife could protect themselves- and if my memory serves me correctly, Camden was one hell of a shot.
"Stay behind me," I command.
I half expect her to argue with me, to tell me that she can hold her own, but she gives me a mock salute and smiles a soft, unsure smile.
"Aye aye, Captain."

RE: DEVTHOR
From a certain author's perspective, the world he lived in had always been a boring uninteresting place. If asked if he could name one good thing about it, he probably couldn't. Up until forty, he lived in complete isolation and solitude, but he never once regretted or felt dissatisfied about the kind of life he lived. But despite being content with such a lifestyle, it seems some god... or perhaps some busybody devil galavanting about playing pretend god was immensely dissatisfied with the way he lived his life and wanted to play a sick joke on him by sending him back to his first day in high school after he died a mysterious death. Approached by a suspicious red-haired girl shortly after awakening and recognizing where he was, he's abruptly given a second chance at a youth filled with romance. But what does this forty years old man turned sixteen do when confronted with youth? He flips youth off and tells it to take a hike, he's having none of it. If there was some sort of godly existence watching over him from somewhere unknown, their only natural reaction would be to facepalm and question what was wrong with this incompetent romanceless idiot who knew nothing of love. Low fantasy only really starts to appear around volume 3. Presently there are 7 volumes for this series totaling about 850k words.
