“Get out” I yelled at this bitch, frustrated. It seems she was happy with the fact Jo walked in on us. Who does she think she is, just because we had some fun, I would run back to her arms? It’s not even that attractive or good in bed… I sighed pushing Ashley away.
I pulled on my pants and I went running after Jo.
How the hell I could be so stupid? Why I never thought that I could lose her?
I should have known at some point Jo was going to catch me or find out I was sleeping around.
I honestly thought that Sam was going to be the one to tell Jo about my extracurricular activities, but after the encounter at Olivia’s party I realized I was safe. Sam carried to much of Jo to break her heart.

She seemed to understand me but she made me promise to come back to the city and take it slow.As I entered my apartment my heart skipped a beat. Every corner in here reminds me of Alex.

Kat was right she didn’t trusted me anymore“If you like me just a little bit please let me go…”. I thought I would win her back but she pleaded to let her go. I wanted to tell her that She was the only one I wanted, but she didn’t let me. I thought I made her insecurities go away but I was wrong. She was still doubting me, doubting the reasons that brought us together.

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”.

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 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.

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

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.
