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. I feel so powerful and yet so weak…I have everything I could possibly want yet I don’t have him.
A knock on the door brought me back from whatever I was dreaming.
“Jo, you got a package” Lily said placing a small box on top of my desk, “and don’t forget you have a massage appointment at 6” she continued with a smirk.
“It has no sender name” I voice out “Do we know who sent it?” I added curiously.
“Actually, No. It was left at the entrance for you.” Lily replied soft

Jo’s POV“Hey, I thought you’re going to stood me up” Carter said smiling when I got close to him. His eyes quickly roamed around my body checking out my outfit. A smirk appeared on his face when he saw the slit of my dress.Carter looked handsome dressed in a white button down shirt and a pair of black slacks. His hair and stubble were perfectly trimmed and styled ready to impress me.“I am sorry, something came up at work” I replied making my puppy eyes asking for forgiveness. “I hope I didn’t make you wait to long” I added fluttering my eyelashes.“No worries” Carter smiled softly showing his perfect pearly teeth before he bend down to kiss my cheek. “You’re here, now. Let’s go inside” Carter said softly before

Jo’s POV“You don’t like Alex to much, do you?” I asked curiously.“Is it that obvious?” Carter replied made me laugh. “Kind of… yeah” I answered smiling. “Can I ask you why, I mean I know it’s not my business..” I said trying to hide my curiosity.After looking at me for a moment, Carter shrugged his shoulders. “Alex and I, know each other since middle school. 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

Jo’s POVIt’s been more then 6 hours since Alex was rushed to the OR and we still haven’t heard anything. Everyone is here, exhausted, saying their prayers for Alex.I looked around the waiting room trying to distract my mind. 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 POVThe ding coming from my phone made Christine twitch her nose disgusted. I pulled out the phone not moving my eyes from her. She rolled her eyes annoyed before I moved away to check the message I had received. This was definitely not over.“Jo. Save the video I just sent, gold star is in effect.

Alex’s POVI really tried to make Jo listen to me. I really wanted to ask her for another chance. The pain I saw in her eyes when she slapped me, made me realize she will never forgive me. It didn’t matter how much I tried. I could feel that she still had feelings for me, but being with me was to much for her so, for the last time I decided to let her go.I closed the restroom door behind me with a thud. I was hurt too, my stupidity hurt us both.I was surprised when my phone vibrated on my back pocket. I pulled it out wondering who was it. This days I don’t have many people reaching out to me.I got surprised seeing Jonathan name on the screen. Jonathan was Jo’s friend and worked with her at JJ Consulting as Software Engineer. He was the brain behind the technology JJ wa

Alex’s POV After parking the car in Jo’s usual spot, I got out rushing to the entrance.“Good, you are here” Jonathan greeted me relieved. “Follow me” he continued turning his back and disappearing inside the building. My body followed him silently, still not knowing if I should trust him or not.“You want a coffee or something stronger? Not every night someone is out to get you!” Jonathan asked me while he stopped in front of what looked like a kitchen. His comment made me smile. Jonathan was right and for a second I completely forgot what a completely mess my life was.“ Sure something strong sounds good” I said softly.Jonathan pulled out a whiskey bottle from one of the drawers, and filled out quickly two shot glasses.

Alex’s POV “ Someone is tailing Jo, since she left the house” Jonathan told me suddenly brushing his hair nervously. “She shouldn’t have called you. She drew to much attention to herself. I was wrong to assume they stopped following her.“What’s the plan?” I asked him tired of not knowing. “I told you already that someone handled your breaks, we were lucky enough to find out before anything bad happened. Knowing this we went ahead and staged your accident. Right now, it’s all over the news that you were badly injured.” Jonathan said shortly. “Central intelligence managed to get the guy who messed up your car and right now he is being questioned by my friend, we hope soon we have some prove so we can decide how we are going to proceed next.”

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 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.

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.

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
