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 4Blake DavenportPOVSkylar, my sister-in-law, and I are sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital. She came to get a check up after she fainted at work. She’s a talented pianist and I’m sure Rene would’ve been proud of her little sister.Because I sure am. She’s has the same heart condition Rene had before she died. Another reason the guilt of what I did a month ago eats at me more and more.Rene died because of me, because she wanted to make me happy. And what did I do when I found out? I cussed and shouted at me her."Blake?" Skylar’s sweet voice brings me out of my dark thoughts.I look at her, Skylar looks nothing like my late wife. She is shorter, her hairs darker and her eyes are dark brown whereas, Rene had the cutest smile, the happiest eyes that light up no matter who she was talking to. Her green eyes always glowed. The way she smiled at me even when she was angry."Blake is something wrong?" Skylar asks.I look at her once more, her face looks flushed.“I’m sorry,
Chapter 5Kendell MarksPOVWhen I arrived late at the office, I knew I was going to mess this up, but I held my head high and lied to myself.I don’t often lie to myself; I know I’m not the greatest reporter to ever do it. I know I might never be recognized as the greatest ever. Many might not know my name, though I do believe I got this job because of my best friend. I don’t often bring myself down, but when you have a best friend as gorgeous as Julz is, you find a way to feel inferior. Why do I think I got this job because of her? Because I’ve applied everywhere and heard nothing back from anyone. A week after a picture of Julz and I were shopping together I received phone calls from four of the places. I chose this one because I’ve always wanted to work here. E-Mogal is an entertainment magazine. We report on almost everything, sometimes sports as well. We do have a sports reporter; I believe her name is Megan.I’m not the girl guys fall in love with, I’m the girl they date to get
Chapter 6Two weeks later Blake DavenportPOVAfter a hard day’s work, well nothing interesting actually since I’m still at the office. Its currently 8 p.m. and I'm not even halfway done with my work.For the past two weeks Julliet has been calling me none stop it’s been annoying to say the least, plus she’s been showing up at the office asking to speak to me, of course I didn’t even give a response. She was at the hospital looking for her ex.When I saw the headlines the next day I knew, she’d been to the hospital for him, her leaving in tears is because he nearly died. The fact that I don’t even know where she got my number troubles me. Had she asked my number from Miss Marks?Did she tell Miss Marks about what happened between us? I don’t think she would but how sure can I be that she wouldn’t tell them about us? I don’t even know how I feel about that. I work with Miss Marks, me sleeping with her best friend could strain our working relationship.Well I should have thought of tha
