“Are you ready?” Kat asked me concerned after seeing me all nervous.
“Do you think she is going to come?” I said bluntly.
“ Alex, you know She is not coming, but that’s okay. You know why?” She asked me and I shook my head. “ You are going to win the case and make her proud.
“What if I lost her for good” I looked at her defeated.
“I don’t think that’s the case, she might be lost her faith in you, but I am sure she still loves you. You need to step up your game and make her trust you” she continued and I agreed. “I am sure she is going to watch the press conference so that’s your chance. That’s the first step to show her that you have feelings for her&rdq

Jo’s POVI decided to go home earlier that I told Lily. Seeing Alex at the press conference made me realize that it doesn’t matter how much I am trying to hide and how much he hurt me, my heart still beats for him.Last night when I called her and asked her to be Alex shadow, in case he might need JJ Consulting, she asked me why I am not coming back. I told her I was still in love with him and I couldn’t handle seeing him after so long on something so important like the press conference. 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. I wiped my tears and went to the bedroom. Every trace of him has been erased but not the memories…I don’t know how I will let him go, but I have to. It’s for the best.&ldquo

Alex’s POV “Please, Alex, let me go” Jo said before she ran away from my arms. I was standing there incapable of saying something. 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. For the first time in my life I felt heartbroken. “Alex, come.” Alexandra said grabbing my arm.“Lexi, I lost her” I whispered out. “I lost her for good”

Jo’s POV I was in my office looking at the sky. I could never get enough of this view. It’s like I can walk between the clouds, able to touch them.

We were always into the same things, like photography, cars, basketball, law school, we even liked the same girls.” Carter said smiling. “So to get whatever we wanted, we had to compete against each other.” Carter added softly.“So why are you guys not friends, I mean since you have so much in common” I as

Jo’s POV I kept pacing back and forth like a mad person. I can’t believe this was happening. “God, Please don’t let him die” I said for a hundred time tonight. “I know I have no right to ask, but please God, I can’t live without him” I whispered wiping my tears. I sighed for the nth time tonight looking towards the Operating Room. “I love him, God, don’t take him away from me”. I continued again pacing the corridor waiting for news. “Jo, any news?” I heard Damien asking me and all I could do was shook my head. I have no words, only tears and prayers. Me and God we don’t get along. After loosing the pregnancies I stopped believing, I gave up. Right now I feel like Alex needs all the help he can get. Maybe him and God have a good relation. “He is st

The room is getting crowded with people waiting for news, hoping for the best.I pushed back slowly, Lexi’s head from my lap, while I am trying to stand up. She fell asleep while I was brushing her hair. I took off my sweater and used it as a blanket to cover her bump. She smiled feeling the warm sweater. I looked again to make sure she was comfortable and still asleep. It was important to keep her calm in her condition. I didn’t want the stress to affect the baby.I looked towards Alex’s Mom and I can’t believe she hugged me. Mr Montgomery was holding her in his arms tryin

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

I couldn’t let this happen, I couldn’t let Alex lose his career and have his name trashed.

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

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.

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.
