Through the Devil's Eyes - Notes for Nicky Page 2

  “It was Tanner?” I asked as he nods. “He was your uncle?”

  “Yes, it made it easy for Lena to confirm it was me. The test results were close enough for anyone to believe it, at least the ones that wanted to.” He said tapping my chin. “How did you know?”

  “How could I not, I knew my heart wouldn’t continue beating … not without you.” Kissing me gently, Nick’s lips are as comforting as I ever remembered. “That was you at the wharf?”

  “Yes, it was. It was my fault you were there, I stole Ryan’s phone assuming that you would come alone but … I didn’t realize they were following you so closely. They hadn’t seemed to want to hurt you in anyway. I don’t understand what it was about.”

  “They thought I had your books hidden there. They want me and your money.” Nick’s eyes widen. I smile tapping his chin, “Yes my love, in your effort to protect me, you neglected to understand what Estrella’s entire goal was. He wants your life in its entirety. He came looking for me, I had no choice, but to come back and face him head on.”

  “Son of a bitch!” Nick stresses sitting up with tense muscles.

  “Nick there was no way you could have known.” I said caressing the back of his neck and kissing his shoulder. “Now that your back, we can take care of him together, I already have a plan …” Nick abruptly turns to me.

  “Kayla, no! I may not know everything going on, but I know that Estrella has someone protecting him, someone higher up than anyone I have and you cannot battle him right now.”

  “But Nick we have already been battling him and winning.”

  “We? You and Ryan?” I nod. “You both are being foolish! He is letting you win, giving you a false sense of achievement.”

  “Don’t yell at me, we took him by surprise just the other night.”

  “How?”

  “We found out Estrella was attending a party with Duncan, his supplier, so we knew if Duncan is here then there must be a supply coming in. So we staked it out, and sure enough found it and took control of it.” I held out my hands waiting for some appreciation, but instead Nick spins out of bed.

  “Kayla! You call Ryan right now and release that supply right now.”

  Jumping up I try to plead with him, but he finds my phone and shoves it at me, call him now! And don’t tell him anything about me.” Hesitantly I make the call to Ryan and have to forcefully push him to release the supply immediately. After hanging up I look up at Nick pacing the floor. “How did you find out about this party?”

  “One of our inside guys, Brandon Knox a senator’s aide.”

  “A political party?” I nod. “Estrella is not stupid, he would not put himself and his main associate out there unless he knew he was untouchable. Whose party was this?”

  “Spencer Welch, the old DA who became senator last year.” Nick looks at me from the corners of his eyes. “What?”

  “Welch is trying to bid for the Vice –Presidency, why would he risk being associated with a known drug dealer?” Sitting back in bed, I begin to realize Nick’s concern. Nick grabs his clothes and starts getting dressed.

  “What are you doing? Are you leaving?” I ask rushing to his side.

  “I can’t stay here Kayla, I’m dead remember?”

  “Nick, you’re my husband you should stay with your wife and son.” His refusal to acknowledge me is infuriating. I jump on top of him, determined to stop him. “You are not leaving me!” I feel good about my stance until I remember one of the things I love about him, his strong arms. With a loving smile he lifts me easily off his body and to his side. “Nicholas Alexander Jayzon!”

  Nick leans down into my sour face and laughs, “Yes, Princess?” Narrowing my eyes on him, I fight my smile. “Baby, I cannot stay here. Until I can figure out what Estrella is up to, until then I need to stay dead and out of sight.”

  “But Nick …”

  “No fighting me on this. I will be around and I will be watching over you and Nicky.”

  “Ryan thinks his brother is dead, don’t you think he should know?”

  “I am not sure yet, so until I am, do me a favor and keep it between us.” He kisses me, but before he can leave I grab his hand and pull him back to me.

  “Can’t you stay for a little while longer?” I give him my sweetest eyes, pulling ham back to bed and rubbing my legs together with an enticing moan. “I mean at least until I fall asleep – please Nick.”

  “Evil woman,” He whispers, guiding his hand smoothly up my leg, kissing my naval, massaging my breasts with his lips, and once again, he is mine. Only this time I am completely able to take him as I want him. Sitting up on top of him and with full control, I take my husband back.

  Note from Kayla Jayzon

  Nicky,

  My baby, I will never forget the moment when I first saw you. You are my first born and I can’t tell you how proud I am of you. You are your father through and through, but I like to think you have more than just a little bit of me within you as well. Your father says it should be clear that you do, whenever you challenge us on our decisions for you. I would deny that I am challenging, but my drive and determined attitude is what makes me, me, and what got me your father, my children and therefore my happiness. I am not sure of our destinies, but I am sure that one day you will be a great leader. Your father and I have both become aware of that fact recently and have promised to prepare you properly. As far as my advice for you, I can tell you that you can never go wrong by trusting the ones who love you the most. They will be there for you whether you’re willing to let them or not. However, I will admit now that it is a little easier if you let them in on your secrets sooner, rather later. Stay strong and confident as you are, but enjoy your childhood while you can, Nicky. You have already matured beyond your age, but so did your father. So with that in mind, I am sure you will one day be as great of a man as he is.

  Your mother,

  Kayla

  Note from Dante Jayzon

  Nicky,

  I am so thankful to be able to get to know you during your young years. I was so distracted on keeping your father safe that I didn’t get a chance to enjoy him as a child, and I also didn’t raise him the best way he should have been. Somehow he managed and has turned into the man I had always wished him to be. He was constantly in trouble and choosing paths I would have never wanted for him, but with his intelligence and strong will, he managed to come out on top and meet the perfect woman for him. I can’t begin to tell you how much joy I feel being in this home, with my family, watching them grow and prosper. The laughter and the love in this house is beyond what I could have ever imagined for your father; it’s more than I could have ever imagined for myself. My father was not one to be tied down by affection or feelings for anyone, and that cost him his heart. He was not the man I would ever want to be and I certainly don’t want any of my children to ever experience that man’s wrath again. I am not sure that’s going to be possible, but I promise you I will keep watch over my family until I am no longer permitted to do so. For now, with my love at my side and my family near, I couldn’t be more thankful, but I must tell you to never doubt your intuition. I see it as strong within you as I did your father. My dearest grandson, you must be careful and never share too much about yourself with ones you don’t know. If your great grandfather ever finds his way out of hell, he will do all he can
to manipulate your powers to his gain. I pray that you never come face to face with him again, but if you do, remember he is at his weakest when he feels he doesn’t have the upper hand.

  Your most proud grandfather,

  Dante Jayzon

  Note from Elijah Stevens

  Little Nick,

  So you are becoming a little lord. Wow, I remember just yesterday you stealing a spoonful of my ice cream. Wait, that was yesterday. Damn, you Jayzons really do grow up fast. I am not sure what to tell you kid, life isn’t the easiest road to navigate, but if I was going to trust anyone to help show me the way, then it would be your Dad, although your mother is quite the fighter as well. You really lucked out in the gene pool kid, don’t waste it and become a shit like your great grandfather. Find a way to do a little good in this world because it certainly needs it. No matter what life may throw at you, remember your uncle Eli is available to listen and I promise I won’t tell your parents anything you tell me. I won’t even tell your mother. I am not nearly as scared of her as she likes to think I am.

  I love ya kid,

  Note from Ryan Jayzon

  Nicky,

  You are the first kid I actually liked. You proved to me that kids can be cool too. I am not sure what to tell you kid, our family tree is not the typical for sure, but maybe we are the lucky ones. We get to decide our destiny. The scariest thought is when you don’t think you have control over who you will become. What happens if we lose ourselves and forget where we have come from, who we belong to, and why life is truly worth living? What your father has gone through, and we as his family have gone through fighting to get the true Nick Jayzon back, has shown how easy it is to become the monster in our nightmares. The best advice I can give to you Nicky, is to stay close to your family and constantly remind yourself what it means to have love in your life.

  Your forever devoted uncle,

  Ryan M. Jayzon

  How Nick Jayzon came to life

  Everyone has a point in their life where things get tough and sometimes really tough. I have had many, but at one point things became so tough I really wasn’t sure I could go on much further. Tough actually would be an understatement, things were devastatingly awful and no matter what I did, I didn’t think I could survive them. I had lost my fight, my drive and along with it myself. Then one night deep within my tears I begged for help, I begged for a reason to survive and the strength to do so. What I got was not what I expected, what I got was a shadowy character who entered my dreams and purposely provoked me to challenge him. He was hazy at first, but the more I tried to ignore him the more clear he became, and the more demanding of my attention he became, until I built up such a hatred for him that I fought back. I demanded he go away and leave me alone. I had enough things to deal with I didn’t want him in my dreams, I didn’t want him in my head at all. So what did he do, well he came at me even more and more, pushing me to fight. He began to haunt my imagination everywhere I went, I couldn’t get rid of him and so therefore, I became angrier and fought even harder to get him to leave my head. He didn’t, he stayed and continued to provoke me to challenge him until I fell in love with him and most importantly, myself again. Yes, he was just in my imagination, but he saved me from the depths of the depression I was in and got me to fight for myself and for my life. Nick is not just any character, he’s my hero.

  How Kayla Jayzon came to life

  Kayla also entered my dreams around the same time Nick did. She didn’t harass me or try to provoke me to fight, she would lead me into fights. She was clearly on a mission and it took some time to understand what that mission was. Once I understood that she was searching for her sister’s killer, it was easy to match her up with Nick. At first I was sure she was going to kill him and take off with all his money. I had the final scene completely laid out for her. How she fooled him, made him think she was in love with him and then killed him in his own bed. She was going to get away with not only his car, but all of his money and power too. However, she fell in love with him as I fell in love with him. The way he appeared to the both of us slowly changed, he began to show a heart and concern. He wasn’t completely evil he was only trying to do what he thought was best for her and me. Nick Jayzon changed from being the heartless killer to the protector and lover that was impossible to resist. Kayla was the perfect heroine for Nick, she is strong and demanding and unafraid to die for what she believes in. Kayla challenges everyone she meets, especially Nick. Nick wouldn’t be swayed by just any ordinary woman, he needed someone extraordinary, and he needed Kayla.
