Chapter 106Paige HarveyPOVThe past 5 years I have gone to therapy. We have a beautiful daughter Calista who looks identical to her father and a son Godfrey who I belief looks identical to my father.Therapy has helped me deal with my father’s sudden death. I was barely coping. But Storm forced me to. Not just for me but for our daughter since I was pregnant at the time.He feared I would lose the baby or hurt myself.After therapy, our marriage has become stronger in a way, I don’t know how to describe it. It helped me realize just how much he meant to me.There were so many things about Godfrey that reminded me of my father, the way he smiled. How his eyes would sparkle when he saw something he liked. I feel like my father blessed us with him.After Godfrey was born, my mother decided it would be best to travel, she felt trapped in the house filled with memories of my father. She wanted to be free of them.My mother has been struggling and when she travels, she feels so much bette
Chapter 107A week later Julliet HarveyPOVPaige and Storm were away for work and left their kids with me. And with Blake being in New York with Aiden, he has been gone for a week.

He returns home at night... I'm so excited to see my fiancé...I was sitting in our living room; the kids were upstairs for a nap. We had to get a nanny to help with the five children.With our soon to be four children, this was educational and to be honest it was freaking me out a little.When I was young, so damn young, I was corrupted by the wrong side. That’s the best way to put it. I’ve done so many wrong things in my life. yet God still blessed me with a fiancé who loves me, three amazing children and one on the way.When I tell people I’m blessed I mean it. I’ve never really been one for religion but after everyt
Chapter 114Dianna VanderbiltPOVToday is finally the day for my twelve-week check-up. No one was more surprised than I was that we were pregnant again. I’ve found out pretty early on.I was like three weeks pregnant when I found out. Being pregnant with Julliet again is the weirdest thing ever.Blake and Julliet invited all of us to their house for dinner so after my appointment we head over to my brother’s place.We haven’t told anyone I was pregnant. We didn’t think we should tell anyone just yet.I wasn’t even showing yet. We were going to wait until after our appointment.The safe period and what not. The drive to the doctor’s office was more nerve-wrecking that I thought it would be.Grayson and Grace were at school. When I thought Grayson was a giant at eleven. I didn’t expect him to be so big he makes me look like a little child. With a beard and a deeper voice, I honestly can’t tell the difference between him and Garret now.I tie my hair in a messy bun. I was dressed very r
EpilogueFour months later…The hospital…Blake Davenport POVI clench my fists as my friends, and I wait in the waiting room. They all dropped everything and rushed over to be here for the birth of my daughter.We’ve already decided on a name for my little girl. Her name was Avery Marie Davenport. She’s named after the woman who birthed me. It was actually Julliet’s idea.They’re busy prepping Julliet for surgery. They’re going to perform an emergency c-section. With Avery being breeched. I won’t lie and say I’m doing great. I’m freaking out. I’m losing my fucking mind the longer they take to tell me what’s going on. Julliet decided in a split second she didn’t want me with during the c-section, she knew I was freaking out and she feared I’d make her nervous, she asked Kendell to be in the room with her. I’m terrified. I’m so fucking scared of losing either of them.“Blake they’re going to be okay…” Craig tries to comfort me.I nod. I prayed she would be.“Remember Sam had a c-secti
PrologueJulliet HarveyPOVWhen I woke up, I was in my room I got up when I saw a note on my bedside table.{Hey Lettie, went drinking with the guys, drive safely... See you later tonight, do not forget to keep the bed warm for me sweetheart}I have this warm fuzzy feeling inside of me, Justin and I have been together for five years, we’ve been through so much together. We have been together since day one.We have been through cheating scandals, gambling problems all of that, today we stand together as a unit... I am glad I stayed by his side through it all. I am glad I made sure to hold his hand when he went into rehab, when he lost all his money through gambling.Today he owns one of the top modelling agencies, he made a name for himself, and I am so proud of him.I take a shower and change into navy-blue tights and a white sports bra... with a pair of beige pair of Uggs... I tie my blonde hair into a bun. I leave a pair of sneakers in my car for my workouts.I leave the house and
Chapter 1Two months laterBlake DavenportPOVDriving to work today felt as heavy as ever. The guilt is eating at me as it always does. Life has a way of knocking you off your feet whether you want it to or not.Fuck I sound exactly how they told me I would become this depressing sad sap. I did not believe them. Though I have every right to be. I drive into the office building’s underground parking; I park in my designated parking. I switch off the car and got out.My phone rings but I let it go to voice mail. I do not feel like talking to anyone right now. Though it might be someone important, I will call them back once I get into the office.When I get to reception a woman being escorted out by security. I frown and walk over to reception.“What’s going on?” I ask.“She wanted to come in without authorization, she didn’t even have an appointment.” She says as she glares at the woman in question.I turn to look at the woman. I frown when I see its Julliet Harvey."Stop!” I shout.Th
Chapter 2Julliet Harvey POVEverything about today started off as shit. I got a call from Paige telling me I was scheduled to come back to work tomorrow, my vacation is over and it’s time to get back to work, so I phoned my only ally against my cousin, only to find out she’s not answering my calls which is unlike her.Being on vacation by yourself does not sound fun, but damn it was amazing having it cut short. Because of work was a damn bummer. I can’t believe how quickly they moved onto the next thing. It is annoying. Anway back to Kenny. I was actually worried for her; I went to her apartment first, but she wasn’t there, so I went to her company next.On my way to check on her I got a call from the bastard. Justin was upset because we signed a contract that he would pay me back my investment in his company, I am suing him for my money back. The cheating bastard just let the insults roll off his tongue, like I meant nothing to him. Luckily, I recorded our conversation, following t
Chapter 3 – Julliet HarveyPOVSitting in my office I go over my new contracts for the next few months.I’ve been taking some time off work because for the past month I’ve been sick a lot, I think I’ve been over working myself.For the past month I’ve had him in my mind all the time. I couldn’t get him out of my head even if I overworked myself. I’ve had shoot after shoot, and he’d still be on my mind.I sigh getting up from the table. I walk away from the desk and out of my home office. I walk down the hall to Ken’s room. A few weeks ago, her lease on her apartment was up and I offered her one of the rooms in the house. She jumped at the chance, and it’s been amazing living with her again. We haven’t lived together since college. Though I worked more than I attended classes we’d always have fun in our apartment.I walk into her room to see her standing in front of the mirror.She looks really formal. I frown. “Why are you dressed that way?” I ask walking over to her bed and laying d

Chapter 105One week later.Blake DavenportPOVI just got back from Florida. I helped Rene’s parents plan Skylor’s funeral. They took her death better than I expected they would.I was expecting the worst. But they just wanted to get the funeral over and done with. I couldn’t blame them. I would too if I was them.I run my fingers through my hair. I feel terrible. I was so close to proposing to Julliet. I was moving on with my life while they had to mourn their daughters.The kindest people I know. They didn’t deserve the hand given to them. Their one daughter was a complete angel who cared for everyone and everything. Whereas their youngest daughter, jealous of her older sister tried to kill her sister. She actually did kill Rene. She was the fucking devil.I can’t believe I’d fallen for the innocent act. She played not only me, but her own family as well.I treated her better than I did my own sister, because she meant to so much to Rene.I pull at my hair.I stopped by Rene’s grav
Chapter 104Blake DavenportPOVAfter I got the girls showered and in fresh clothes, I spoke to them about what happened. I was thinking about getting a therapist, I didn’t know if the girls were traumatized or not.They seemed fine but I didn’t want to risk it. The only thing they were upset was when their mother was accused of being a bad mother. I just hope the girls forget about that.I don’t want Julliet finding out about it.She’ll feel terrible. And she doesn’t look great now. I could see this pregnancy was taking all of her energy. I didn’t even tell her in the next week we’d be moving.There’s so much that needs to be done.And I haven’t even spoken to her yet.One thing I was sure about was I wanted Julliet to be my wife before our next baby is born.I’d found out she was pregnant this morning and now I’m already imagining what my son would look like. How our life will be in the future.My son… I smile… I didn’t even know the gender of the baby yet and I was already thinking
Chapter 103Julliet HarveyPOVMy girls were on their way home. I clenched my fists. I was so excited to see them.I wanted nothing more than to be in our home with all three of our children. I didn’t want to be with all out friends right now. I love them, I really do, but I wanted a moment with my children and my boyfriend.Do I still feel envy when I look at my friends and their marriages? God yes. I couldn’t help myself.They have been married for years now, Blake and I met first, we’ve been together the longest. Except for Paige and Storm. We’ve been together the longest.Blake and I both carry so much more baggage than the rest of friends. I’ll never be able to live up to Blake’s former wife. I’ll never be good enough to be his wife.We might have a family together but I’m fooling myself if I think I’ll be happy being his girlfriend for the rest of my life.What was wrong with me? Why was I thinking about this now."How are you feeling now?" Dianna asks.I look up at her. Dianna
Chapter 102An hour earlierJulliet HarveyPOVI’m sitting on the guest bathroom floor in Paige’s house. I’ve been in this bathroom since I’ve come over. This pregnancy is really so much worse than my last two.Was I being punished by the Heavens?I think the toilet has become my newest best friend.The tiles on the floor are actually helping the nausea somewhat. Though I still feel like this baby is trying to kill me by having my throw up all my insides.God, I feel sick and the more I worry for the girls the more I want to throw up. My girls are missing, and I can’t even get myself off the floor.Oh God make it stop.This pregnancy has come out of nowhere. I honestly didn’t expect it. I’d been feeling off for over two months now, but I excused it as stress, over thinking and we’ll everything else. I did want at least four children, but I was thinking about bringing it up with Blake at least a year from now. I wanted the kids to be a little older.With Maddox and the girls being so c
Chapter 101Justin BrandfordPOVThis was going to shit; I could feel it in my bones. We were supposed to only take one of the girls. Who would have thought they would look like that bastard and no Julliet.We’re supposed to ask for ransom money, but I don’t want the money anymore. I want to kill all three of these girls. I hate Paige just as much as I hate Blake. Their child doesn’t deserve to live just as much as these two don’t. Sky is attached to the girls and want to raise Blake’s children with him. Our unlikely partnership came from mutual interest. Yet now I don’t want anything to do with the sick bitch. She’s been with them for over an hour trying to convince them Julliet’s a terrible woman and that she’s going to be their new mommy. The bitch is crazy even for me.Blake already paralyzed half of my body. I walk with a fucking limp, and I don’t have feeling in my arm anymore.============Blake DavenportPOV“Blake let me drive…” Craig suggests.I just nod.On the drive ov
