2024-10-29 19:42:56Alex’s POV
After an intense morning I went to get another coffee, I can’t believe people are so dull and unprofessional. I massaged my temple, it’s going to be a long day.
I didn’t get the chance to press the elevator button when the doors opened and a woman bumped into me.
Usually everyone curse out and then when they see me are trying to sweet talk me.
This time I heard her mumbled which made me smile “Damn it, who puts a wall so close to the elevator exit? “ She didn’t even look at me when I asked if she was ok, she just told me that I don’t need to worry! That was new… she made me smile she really made me smiled. Finally when she looked at me she didn’t act like all the other women that keep popping in my way, she didn’t act hurt or needy to impress me

The Butterfly Effect Chapter 7
Alex’s POV Damian and I decided to go to a new Club Downtown. My other two best friends and Damian were already in, but I had to wait another half hour after my coffee shop date. Probably after tonight I will have to change the place where I am buying my coffee because I am not planning to see her again. From the moment she saw me to the moment we got to the Club she talked without any interruptions, I think I got a headache. I’m not going to bother to take her home, she is too much. I was checking out the crowd when I saw Josephine Jackson smiling at one of her friends. I really can’t take my eyes off her. Everything inch of my body is screaming to go to her, but I can’t do that. She has to come to me. She saw me, her blue eyes are now glued to mine in an intensive staring contest. Damn it, the coffee shop
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 8
Alex’s Pov I waited until her figure disappeared inside the building. I can’t believe I let her go home without me. Based on how her body responded to my hold, I have a feeling that if I continued to kiss her, she would had stopped being stubborn and spend the night with me. Well what can I do now? I got tricked by her puppy eyes. “Alex please I can’t do this, I am not like the girls you sleep with, I don’t do FUN SEX, I am damaged, I am not ready for you” this words are going to hunt me forever. I sighed and shake my head to get rid of the memory. I got home late, another night waisted. It’s already 2:30 in the morning. I went to take a shower, I need to to calm down this body who desperately wants her.. her fragrance is still lingering on my cl

Jo’s POV “Trust me, Alex was sober”. I rubbed my temple while I stepped out from the elevator. “Good morning Ma’am”, Lily’s cheerful voice greets me while she is handing me my coffee. “Good morning, Lily “ I greet her back with a smile. “I put your mail on your desk already “she tells me quickly just before I open my office door. A contend smile appeared on my lips, I like working with her she is the best secretary I ever had. My eyes finds quickly a vase with a huge bouquet of white roses placed on my desk. I moved dumbfounded to the desk to grab the card and read it. “ Just because -A” . I can’t believe Alex sent me flowers, I love them. White roses have always been my favorite and I am wondering if he actually knows that or if it is just a coincidence.
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 10
Jo’s POV I stormed out the building rushing to my car. I opened the door quickly and I slide in, throwing my bag on the passenger seat. Right now, I have mixed feelings, I am relieved that the meeting went well, but my blood is boiling inside. I looked behind me at least ten times to see if he is coming after me, I wish he had. I want to scream my frustration, I want to ask him the question that bothers me for a while now “why I can’t be loved?” I sighed for the nth time, I need to get out of here, I need to relax, to sleep, I need to forget. My phone started ringing and I am not in the mood to answer, but I slowly took it out, I have to admit I still hope it’s him. Olivia ’s name pops on my screen and I picked up the call. I t
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 11
Alex’s POV Probably at some point I am going to kill Damien, for dragging me here, but right now I have to admit this place is Heaven. I took a sip of my Bahama Mama cocktail while I am enjoying the sunset from my hammock. I like the sound of the waves washing the shore, I like how they never give up, coming again and again. I inhaled the salty breeze, it’s so peaceful here. I can sense the calm before the storm I checked the time and it’s still early, she has a late flight and I still don’t know what I want to do. A part of me wants to have this woman, to make her mine, she denied me and she challenged me to pursue her and what can I say, I kind of like it. I am used with women who are fighting for my attention, who throw themselves at my feet but not her and probably that’s why I am acti
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 12
Jo’s POV The sun is bathing the room and I struggle to open my eyes, I am afraid that everything was just a dream. The side of the bed where he stayed last night it’s cold and I can’t help feeling disappointed. I hope everything was real. As I move to his side his perfume it’s still lingering on the pillow and now I know for sure he was here. I closed my eyes and I inhaled his scent, if I can’t be with him at least I can enjoy his smell a little bit longer. I checked my phone and I have a message from Sam: “Hey, Good morning! Call me” I don’t want to leave the bed but I know sooner or later I have too. I dialed Sam’s number who picked up instantly. “Hey, Good morning “ I said lazily.
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 13
Jo’s POV I am going downstairs for dinner. After crying the whole afternoon, I realized that everything happened because of me. Now I had two options to lay low or to show him what he lost or better said what he could have had. Anyway after changing my mind several times I chose the third option: Be myself. I am wearing a green midi backless dress that embrace my body perfectly. A little revealing, but not to much. I look classy in a sexy way. My blond wavy hair it’s loose on my back and I think I put a little bit too much of make up. But who cares, tonight I am myself, better said my new self. The one who laughs, who flirts, who dances and most of it who pretends that everything is perfect. Yeah that’s me Josephine Jackson and my world is pretty perfect. As I am coming down the stairs I can see Damien’s eyes getting wide o

Jo’s POV “Come on, let’s get you to bed, it’s getting late” he told me softly, waking towards the hotel, but I am not moving. I still have no idea what I am going to do but going to bed it’s not something I consider. I have a feeling that “get you to bed” it’s not close to what I have in mind. Blame his eyes, his dimples, his God body, blame my hormones, I want him. I can’t get him out of my mind. All I want is to touch me, to kiss me, I want one of those passionate nights that everyone has at least once in life. I don’t care if I am acting like a spoiled child, I really don’t. Right now I wish I had more experience, I wish I knew how to make myself more available, to make him under

The Butterfly Effect Chapter 66
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
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 64
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.
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 61
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
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 59
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.
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 58
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
