“Jo, wait” I heard Sam’s voice behind me. I am not in the mood to deal with her. I can’t believe she is acting like this.“Jo, please, I am sorry “ she said again and I turned to see her running after me.
Damien and Alex stayed behind and I can see them talking. I don’t know how Damien figured it out but I am wondering if it is that easy for other people to find out.
“What now, Sam” I snapped at her. “ Why are you apologizing? Did you say something you shouldn’t?” I am mocking her.
“ Jo, please don’t be like this, let’s talk “ she said looking at me with her puppy eyes . I just realized Damien is looking at me with admiration, I think…what the hell is going on?”
“ Talk” I said not moving my eyes from Dam

Jo’s POV The guys left the room leaving me alone with Alex. I don’t know what to say, I tried to avoid this moment but Karma doesn’t want me to skip it. It looks like we need to have that closure moment. “ Can you please explain to me what was all that about “ I said a little bit curious and a little bit angry. I am now in his arms enjoying his manly smell. “ Well Sweetheart, Damien wanted to make sure you’re not going to tell anyone that we slept together, because not only you’re going to ruin my career, you’re going to screw up their lives as well. We are all partners at Montgomery&Brown.“ He told me gazing into my eyes. His blunt truth made me rub my temple. “Oh my God, what kind of women do you sleep with that they could think so l

Damien’s POV When Alex told me he found The Girl, I was really surprised. Nothing prepared me for this moment. Deep inside me I really hoped that Alex was going to find love, but after seeing him with different women every day I thought he was going to chase love all his life. Even though Alex will never admit it, Christine really did a number on him, he was devastated when she left him. I never liked her to be honest, but I know she is back in his life, not to stay of course just to messed up his life and break his heart again. Now that he is a famous lawyer and he has money, sh

Jo’s POV We are both laying down on the beach chair. This time his hand left my back, and it’s sitting on my tight waiting patiently for the others to take their places before he begins his attack. His fingers play with my dress before removing slowly the piece of clothes to get more access to my panties. I am grateful we picked a dark corner and nobody knows what is he doing. Alex pushed his finger inside me without any hint and I turned to look at him surprised. I can see the sparkle in his eyes when he looks at me. I bit my lip involuntarily and he pushed another finger making me close my eyes for a second. I can sense his eyes burning my skin and I want to feel him, all of him. He moves his nose in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent. I am moving my body slowly up and down his fingers not wanting to expose us.

Jo’s POV The Moonis lighting the roomand I am trying to look down and hide my face so Alex doesn’t see me crying. I have this feeling in my stomach telling me he is going to leave now. I think this time it’s going to be harder for me to recover. “Come here“ Alex said laying down on my bed and I do as I am told. I lay down next to him and he turns to face me. His hand goes straight to my face and wipes my tears not saying anything. I wonder how he knew that I was crying. “ What were you thinking earlier?” Alex asked me while his hand continues to caress my face. “Don’t lie. I don’t like it when I am lied” “ Honestly, I was thinking about you” I said smiling. “Me? What about me?” he asked me curiously “I w

Jo’s POV The sound of the waves woke me up. I can feel the sunlight caressing my face. I stretched out to Alex side of bed to find it empty and cold. I finally opened my eyes to check the time and it’s late. I have to pack my bag, today we’re going home. I wonder if I could go back in time and choose the perfect moment of my life and never come back. That would be last night making love moment. It’s stupid I know but I can’t stop myself from smiling. Last night was amazing, I put my love in every kiss, in every touch and I think Alex did the same. I curled in bed with his pillow in my arms, his scent is lingering on itand I still have his taste on my lips. Today I don’t want to go home.

How was your mini vacation? “ I asked her smiling. “It was nice” she answered me blushing thinking probably about her weekend. “ Did you get a chance to make the modifications I asked? I quizzed her in a neutral tone. “ I wasn’t able to reach anyone Saturday or yesterday, every one was already gone because of the Holiday. I am sorry “ she told me regretful. “ But don’t worry I’m on top of it. “ I smiled at her and walk to my office. Three days without work I sure have a lot to do. I opened the door and a single wh

Jo’s POV I got to the City Court ten minutes before my meeting with judge Quinn. I am trying to look confident but my anxiety is acting up. As I stepped outside the elevator, my heart skipped a beat, this iswhere everything started. With just a simple smile, Alex marked my heart. I smiled for a second thinking about him, how I wish he could hold me even for a second. There are many people rushing along the hallway and I hope my wish becomes reality. Poor heart, Alex marked it as his the eternity. I entered the restroom so I can have my ritual. Washing my hands really calms my nerves. I smiled at the blonde in the mirror as I fixed my clothes. I look professional with my hair tight in a bun. I wear black high waist w

Jo’s POV I woke up before sunrise just to look at my beautiful sleeping man. I can’t be more thankful, Alex gave me what I always wanted: a big loving family and four beautiful children. I place a small kiss on his face before slipping off his embrace. It’s weird how much I still love him. After all these years I love him more and more every day. I closed the door trying to not make too much noise and I headed to the kitchen. There were too many things to do and I wanted to go ahead and do them so I could spend time with my babies. I know they are all grown ups but I still see them as babies. I passed Sebastien's door and I stopped for a moment. I will never forget the moment I found him sleeping in the school shack almost frozen. He wrapped his hands around my neck and said “mommy you came”. Me and Alex fought the system and got him, I was about to go and bribe everyone just to give me Sebastien. In a way, Sebastien

Jo’s POV Two days have passed since I received the subpoena stating that I was a witness in an ongoing investigation on Alex Montgomery. After going to Alex’s office I told him that it was best not to see each other until we figured out what the investigation was about. At first Alex didn’t agree but he knew this was for the best. You can fight something you have no information about. This morning Damien called me and told me that some Court Officials came to Alex’s apartment and escorted to the City Court where the investigation took place. So here I was, checking my wristwatch while walking on the City Court hallways. I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves. I already know what I have to do. I went to the restroom and washed my hands thoroughly like I always do, going through the plan I have in my head ma

Jo’s POV“Hey, it’s me. Come to Alex’s office. I’ll be there in 5”. I said without waiting for a reply. I looked up to see the skyrocketing building in front of me and I swallowed the lump formed in my throat. Every time I came announced, Alex was not alone. Every single time. I stepped inside the elevator and I could feel my heart skipping a beat.This last week was perfect. The wine party was a success and everyone who came high class, movie stars, singers, press enjoyed the wine. We ended up calling it “The Butterfly from Jackson vineyards” Alex was supportive, caring and everything I wanted. I sighed before entering Kat’s office and I saw her looking up surprised to see me.“Jo, so nice to see you. I heard the wine party was a hit, congrats” Kat said smiling.

Jo’s POV “Finally” I said, relieved to enter my room and remove my jacket. “My feet were killing me” I continued sitting down on my bed “Are you okay?” Alex uttered, bending down, removing my heels. He looked worried so I smiled trying not to think about my parents anymore. “Hmm mmm” I hummed relaxing under his touch. His hands were rubbing slowly my feet taking away the pain. “What happened earlier? I saw you talking with your parents” Alex asked me again. “Nothing, really. My parents apologized, they want us to be a family” I replied shrugging my shoulders. “How do you feel about that?” Alex’s eyes searched mine trying to figure out what was happening in my mind. “I don’t know,” I replied, exhausted, layi

Jo’s POV“Josephine, can we have a word?” my dad’s voice echoed behind me. I clenched my fists knowing this “talks” never end well and he will probably say something to annoy me.“I am here” Alex whispered, squeezing lightly my hand and I nodded. He always knew how to calm down my nerves.“Sure. We can talk in the office” I told my parents as I turned on my heels heading to my grandpa's old library room, which now serves as my office. I did minor work to update the room, but most of it still has grandpa print. Every time I go there it’s like I am going back to my childhood, where I was happy.I sighed because I know what’s going to happen next, I have been here a thousand times before. My paren
