Through the Devil's Eyes: Notes for Nicky (2 page)

Note from Nicholas Jayzon

Nicky,

My son, from the first moment I met your mother I knew I would never be able to forget her or let her go. My heart was hers and I was going to protect her at all costs, or at least I was going to try. As you know, your mother isn’t the easiest to keep up with, or control. She is the only woman I know that purposely pursues trouble in order to get what she wants. Thankfully, she wanted me. My son, I know one day you will meet the one for you, and when that day comes, I promise, you will know the moment she touches you, as I knew the moment your mother touched me.

Your father,

Nicholas Jayzon

THE DEVIL’S REVENGE

Book 2

The argument for my bail begins, and I lower my head until the doors behind me crash open with a thunderous roar. A vibration rushes through my body, I look up at the judge as his eyes widen and a cold silence takes hold of the room. It’s him. I know it’s him. It can be no other. Before I can turn I whisper his name and feel the energy of him blaze up my body as if the simple whisper of his name makes it true, makes him true. As hard as I fight my own curiosity I can’t stop myself, with all the assuredness in my head I still have to prove it to my own eyes. Turning, I slowly raise my head up and look upon the three gentlemen, dressed in dark suits and letting the hoods of their coats fall back and reveal expressions of pure - desired annihilation. But it is he that stands center and strong that confirms my suspicions. It is he that has caused this silence and chocked the breath out of an entire room. It’s as if the air could breathe and it breathes a trembling gasp of his name, with all that laid their eyes on this sight I see. Only I breathe his name and meet his eyes whispering … “I knew you would come for me.” Only God could save me from a certain deadly fate, and so rightfully, he sent the devil to rescue me. The sequel to The Devil's Eyes is action packed while still maintaining the same dark romance and suspenseful tone of the first novel.

Nick

Being dead isn’t that much fun:

(Nick is hiding out and still pretending to be dead. No one knows he is still alive, except Ryan at this point. Although, Kayla is making it increasingly difficult for Nick to continue to stay in the shadows.)

Being dead is not all that much fun, especially when my sister insists on torturing me with her nightly Simone love. The only escape from the torture I have, is at the docks as Mike Wiljer the new dock worker for Henry Estrella, on of Estrella’s few working children. I have made up a perfect disguise for myself, which is about to be put to the test and surely fail if I am not careful. As I work I see Kayla’s car pull up to the docks. I instantly search for a quick escape, but the moment she steps out of the car a smile forms on my face and I can’t walk away.

Kayla struts past me in her form fitted dress and assassin heels, looking ready to kill anyone that dares deny her. “Can I help you?” Gregg Lohman, my shift supervisor asks her.

“I am here to see Henry Estrella, please go get him for me. I don’t have a lot of time.”

“He’s busy right now and he doesn’t like unexpected visitors. It would be in your best interest …”

Kayla interrupts him with a poisonous tone, “Did I ask what he was doing or what he likes? No I didn’t and I am not about to sit here and wait for him, so you go get him now, before, he regrets that I left unhappy.” She expresses with an exasperated sigh; waiting for the prick to go do as asked. She doesn’t have to make another move before the man rushes in and finds Estrella.

Henry walks out with an exaggerated confidence, his chest out and large gut pushed above his tightly fixed belt. “Ms. Jayzon how great of you to visit my side of the world. What can I do for you today?” He escorts Kayla to his office and shuts the door. I work my way towards the thin office walls and try to listen in, but am not able to make out much before I am caught by Lohman.

‘Wiljer, what are you doing over here? You better not be doing any drugs while you’re working.”

“No sir, I dropped something and it rolled back here. I was only trying to find it.”

“Well worry about finding it later when you’re not on the clock! Now get back to work.” He claps his hands at me as if he is cheering me on to my shitty work day.

“Feel free to drive off the dock into a watery grave on your way out Ms. Jayzon.” Estrella says as he follows Kayla out of his office.

Kayla stops directly in front of us and turns back to Estrella, “I would watch say to me, Mr. Estrella. I am not one to take too kindly to threats.”

“You don’t scare me.” He says with a squeaky pitch to his voice and a shaky hand in her face. I laugh before I can catch myself; having to cover my mouth with my hand and lower my head as everyone turns to look at me. “Is there a problem?” Estrella yells at me.

“No sir, please excuse him.” Lohman says stepping out in front of me. “Sorry, he isn’t too smart and gets easily distracted. I found him wandering around like a lost puppy.”

Keep your eyes on the floor Nick, don’t look up at her. She will know it’s you as soon as she looks into your eyes.
I can feel her watching me, waiting for me to look up at her. The tension between us clear, I can almost feel the heat of her body against my skin. She takes a breath and I breathe it in savoring her every movement. Licking my lips, I hear a pause within her heart beat.
I made a mistake and she knows.
Kayla takes a step towards me and I begin coughing to break up the moment and my rising desire to have my wife in my arms again.

“Well stop staring and get back to work.” Estrella yells. I nod and glance at Kayla as she narrows her eyes at me.

“No need to hurry with your dirty business, I will own this soon anyway.” Kayla slides on her gloves, allowing me the opportunity to take her body in fully. She licks her lips with a cock of her hip in my direction.
She knows me too well. Damn I miss that woman and her, ‘fuck you attitude’.

Estrella stresses a signal toward Lohman and he nods. “Follow me if you want to keep your job, dumbass.” I follow him as he leads me out to near where Kayla is parked and Ryan is waiting for her. “Oh great she has a guard.”

“What are we doing out here?” I ask him.

“We are going to grab that woman and drown her. You take care of her guard and I will handle her.” He says taking out a weapon. “Do you have a problem with that?” I shake my head with no words to add to his plan. Kayla walks towards her car and Lohman readies himself, “Look at this woman, I would fuck her until she couldn’t walk anymore. Show her what a real man could do to her, you know what I mean?” He laughs.

I nod as he looks me in the eyes. “That’s funny, of course, I am going to have to kill you now.” I grasp his neck and send him to the ground desperately fighting for one more breath. After his struggle is over, I kick his lifeless body into the water, noticing Ryan shake his head behind me. I turn to him with a smile and he rolls his eyes sliding into the car with Kayla, and driving off safely, while I go back to work.

An hour later Estrella comes running at me with a confused expression, “You, have you seen Lohman anywhere?”

“Last time I saw him he said he was having trouble breathing and then … he just disappeared.” I shrug honestly.

“That lazy son of a bitch, I am going to fire his ass.” Estrella mutters as he stomps away.

Kayla

He’s back! The original version:

(This is the original idea of how Nick returns. Kayla figures him out and sets him up by letting him find out she is planning on sleeping with another man. Only Nick is the only man that shows.)

I know he knows about my date tonight, so I take the time to prepare myself properly for my unexpected visitor. I put on my new scantily clad underwear and add only a long diamond necklace that hangs perfectly in between my nearly exposed breasts. Our bedroom is lit up with candles and echoes with sensuous music. Everything is perfect when I take my seat and wait for
him
. Unable to control my smile, I can feel him approaching. He’s clearly hesitant about the situation, so I stay calm, patient, for
his
return. “Aren’t you tired of standing in the shadows and watching me?” I ask sipping my wine. A low grown surfaces from behind me. “I was about to take care of my needs another way … maybe call for another man.” I say standing up and giving him a full view of my body. His desiring moan rises up against the back of my neck, I reach back and pull him to me. Grasping his shirt the energy flowing inside of me is uncontainable. His lips trail along my neck, as I moan, “I missed you.”
