“Sweetheart, you look tired” Alex said kissing the back of my palm. “What’s going on?” He asked me softly.
“ I am fine. I just can’t believe you’re here” I mumbled not looking at him. I can’t look at him, I feel like I am dreaming and I don’t want to wake up. I wished all day to see him to have his arms around me and now he is finally here. My heart is happy.
“Of course I am here” he said kissing me softly. I am sorry, I wanted to be here sooner but I got stuck in the middle of a trial. Are you hungry, let’s order something” he said before waiving at the waitress. “How was the meeting with Judge Quinn?” Alex said curiously.
“You just go ahead and order if you want something, I had lunch with Judge Quinn” I said and Alex looked at me surprised. “It was the only time he was

Jo’s POV “Hey, are you feeling okay?” a masculine voice made me open my eyes. “Yeah, I am fine” I said wiping my tears and trying to smile. “You don’t look fine to me, are you sure everything is okay?” He said smiling. I nodtaking a deep breath “Yeah I am okay, just a long day “ I replied forcing myself to smile. “I am Carter. Do you work around here or do you want me to drive you somewhere? Carter asked me curiously pointing to his black Corvette. “No, that’s okay, I have my car parked across the street” I told him softly. Probably women go wild when they see his new expensive car. “You have your car parked at the City Court?” Carter asked me surp

Jo’s POV It’s been three days since Alex walked away from me in the coffee shop and I met Carter. By the time I got to the office Tuesday, all my ideas of making Alex jealous, seemed immature and I am not that type of person. I don’t know how to play dirty. I don’t know how to make myself available and flirt shamelessly. I never called him Carter either, I just buried myself in work, that’s what I know that’s where I shine. Work, work, work it’s my mantra. I sighed for the nth time. That’s my life. Today all four attorney companies are going to interview my senior accountants and choose the perfect people who are going to work with. Everything was planned and prepared until the last detail for today, nothing was left out. “Jo, everything

Jo’s POV I took a deep breath and instead of closing the door I just went straight inside. Both Alex and the redhead, who was in his arms kissing the life out of him, got surprised of my boldness. I can see an amused sparkle in his eyes. Alex was leaning towards his desk with his white shirt unbuttoned, while the curly redhead was in her black lace underwear while her clothes are scattered around the floor. “ Get dressed and get out” I said with a stern voice to the redhead who was looking at me annoyed. “I said GET DRESSED AND GET OUT “ I barked at her. She looked at Alex, who nodded his head, approving my command. A smile appeared for a second on his face while the woman grabbed her clothes and started dressing. I could see Alex’s eyes c

Jo’s POV “What’s going to be?” He whispered softly in my ear, playing with my zipper. I can feel he is restless, he is holding himself back not to take off my dress. “ So…if I stay I’ll be your second choice…If I go I’ll be nothing” my words come out surprising us both. I guess next time he better stay quiet. “Nothing …just like I was before I got here” I continued this time looking at him. For a moment my mind went back to the first night we met, when he took me home…how he promised me a first date…how he told me that I deserved to be spoiled. I am fighting my tears while I am searching for a clue in his eyes, a clue about how he feels about me, but there isn’t any, no love, no lust, no desire not even hate. Why I am so stupid? What the fuck is wrong with me?

Jo’s POV I finally got home with not to much time to spare. After leaving Alex office I had four more meetings with clients who wanted to be sure their accounts would not be neglected because of the Court Partnership. I was getting ready to leave when I got the emails from the lawyers informing me about their selection. I smile reading the email is exactly how I imagined the teams. My biggest surprise came from Alex, who emailed me his own choices. My name is on top of the list, then Jordan’s name and Ashley’s. Jordan was my obvious choice, because he is good, I am happy that we get to work together, but when it comes to Ashley, I have my own concerns. Ashley was not on my list of people to work with. I mean she is smart and she does her job great, it’s just she’s single, attractive and n

Jo’s POV We got to the car in no time and Alex started driving to an unknown destination. I am curious to see what he has in mind for tonight. “So Sweetheart what is you want to know about me?” Alex asked me suddenly and I don’t know what is the first thing I want to know. “Why do you always send me white roses” I hear myself saying. It’s not something personal and I do have other questions, but let’s start with an easy one. Alex looks at me surprised, I don’t think that was something he ever thought I was going to ask him. “Well because I read an article about you and you stated that white roses were your favorite flowers. I was trying to impress you, did that work?” He said smiling. “Yeah actually it

Jo’s POV “ I really want to come with you, Sweetheart, but I promised myself that I would be a completely gentleman and take things slow.” Alex told me holding my hand. “Good night then” I said putting my innocent smile, after pecking his cheek. I was trying to hide my disappointment. Coming upstairs would have been the perfect ending for this amazing night. But who knows maybe it’s better this way. “Fuck my manners” Alex said grabbing my waist and forcing his lips on mine. A moan, I couldn’t hold, escaped from my throat making him smirk. “Let’s go” Alex added and I really don’t know if I can behave in the elevator. Too bad there are security cameras everywhere… Alex tighten his grip while I am

Jo’s POV It’s been a month since me Alex and I had our first date. Everything between us is great. That gives me hope to dream about our future together. We decided to take it slow, every day as a new day, a new step to consolidate our relationship. Every week we go out, most of the time alone and I can’t believe how alike we are. We went to the park to see Romeo and Juliette and had a picnic on the grass, we went to comedy stand up shows but my favorite date was the one were we walked on the beach staring at the moon, holding each other reminding me of our first night together. The nights we stay home we try to enjoy each other while we are catching up our work. It doesn’t meter if we stay inside or go out the attraction between us is incre

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

Alex’s POV “Good morning, Mr Montgomery! I heard the kids are coming home for the holidays” Father Thomas greeted me with a smile. “Good morning Father. Yes they are coming home, today. I am actually leaving right now so I can pick them up from the airport” I told him after checking my wristwatch. “Happy Holidays! God bless you and the entire family. See you at Sunday Mass.” Father Thomas told me. “Happy Holidays to you, Father” I said walking towards the door. Since my children were born, I am coming to church every Sunday to light up candles . This is my way to show appreciation for what I have. A life full of light. I checked my watch again while slipping into the car and driving to the airport. I have

Jo’s POVDonovan let me in first in the room before closing the door. He pointed out a chair before starting the camera to record my answers.“We are here recording the testimony of Josephine Jackson for the case number 258903, the investigation is to determine if Attorney Alex Montgomery broke the conduit and if he is fit to continue to practice Law.My heart skipped a beat hearing Donovan’s words. I couldn’t let this happen, I couldn’t let Alex lose his career and have his name trashed. I had to put on my A game.“You are a taught woman, Miss Jackson,” Donovan said, smiling, bringing me back from my thoughts.I smiled as a response not wanting to give in to a small conversation.
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 63
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

Jo’s POVWe walked together downstairs holding hands. Damien gave me a questioning look and I blushed instantly. Did he know what Alex was planning?“Josephine” I heard my grandmother's voice calling me.“Grandma, Grandpa you guys made it. I am so happy you’re here. “I told them, smiling pecking their cheeks.“Josie, of course we are here. We couldn’t miss it. I am so proud of you.. we both are” my grandpa told me as I was trying to fight the tears.“I love what you did with the cellars and with the mansion. I can’t wait to have a tour.` My grandmother was excited to check the surroundings.

Jo’s POVMy heart skipped a beat when I saw him. I missed him so much. Too much time has passed since we've been together and we both changed.Handsome as always he was carrying himself as a god. Dressed in his black suit with his black hair styled perfectly Alex looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time. In a way it actually was. Meeting him changed my life. I was weak but he made me strong, he made me realize that I am the only one in charge of my life.“Hey” I heard him saying taking me all in. I can see everything in his eyes, love, admiration, fear..“Hey stranger” I replied smiling. He bent to kiss me and I could feel those butterflies dancing in my stomach. It’s been long, way too long.“Josephine” my mom voiced
