Chapter 1
Two months later
Blake Davenport
POV
Driving 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.
The guards stop.
"How could you treat her this way. That’s Julliet Harvey." I scold them.
Theses fucking idiots. I walk up to her as they release her. "I apologize Miss Harvey please forgive the staff." I apologize for their insolence.
She smiles at me. "That’s okay. I’m here to see a friend." She tells me.
I frown. Julliet Harvey a well-known model has taken two months off from modelling after a breakup with her ex-boyfriend after she went drinking at a bar and the pictures were terrible. I know because I covered the story myself. “Who is this friend?” I ask.
“Kenny. No Kendell Marks. She is my best friend…” she tells me.
“She’s off on an assignment today and won’t be back into the office today…” I inform her.
I begin to walk away but she grabs my arm. “I have been trying to call her, but she hasn’t answered my calls, so I was worried. Do you think you could call her for me?” she asks.
I take a look at her hand, I then look at her face, I’ve seen many pictures of her, I’ve seen her eyes before, but never like this, never have I ever seen eyes so captivating, her brown eyes pull me in. What did she say?
“What?” I ask.
She looks at me confused. “Can you call Kenny for me?” she asks.
My eyes go back to her hand on my arm.
Her eyes follow mine and she quickly removes her hand. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to stop you…” she looks at me with innocent eyes.
I sigh, shaking my head.
"Fine, it sounds important. I’ll call her for you.” I tell her.
She smiles nodding her head. “Thank you.” She whispers.
"Follow me…" I tell her. I walk toward the automated doors. I press my key card against the scanner. The glass doors slide open, and I walk in with her following behind me.
"So, are you a reporter as well?" she asks.
I shake my head no.
She moves beside me, her arms behind her back, a bright smile. “So, what do you do here Mr.?” she asks.
"Blake Davenport…" I only answer the second question.
She sighs… “Come on tell me what you do?” she asks again.
“I’m what you’d call a manager.” I tell her.
She looks at me, tilting her head to the side. “So, you’re an editor or an editor-in-chief?”
I nod. “Yes, that’s right…”
She smiles shaking her head. “You tried to dumb it down for me because I’m a blonde plus a model, so I now no brains, right?” she asks.
I stutter out an answer.
She stops me. “Do not worry it happens a lot more than it should. I’m used to it. And besides, I am more interested in getting to know you, Mr. Davenport.” She smiles.
We make our way across a sea of cubicles. “What do you want to know?” I ask her.
She smiles brightly. “I’ll ask you when we’re in your office.” She says as she walks ahead of me.
We walked into my office, and I closed the door.
“Can I get some work done before I call her? She might still be driving.” I ask.
She nods.
I walk over to my desk and switch on my computer.
“So, tell me about yourself Mr. Davenport?” she asks.
I do not look up from my computer, as I log in.
“What do you want to know, Miss Harvey?” I ask her.
"Are you perhaps dating anyone right now?" she asks.
I look up at her surprised by her question. I shake my head. "No..." It is true I am not dating anyone right now.
Her smile brightens. “That’s good.” She tells me.
I frown, “Why would that be good exactly?” I ask, I look back at the screen and see Kendell hasn’t arrived at the sight yet, I’m about to tell her when she speaks again.
“So, Mr. Davenport, do you find little old me attractive?” she asks me.
I look at her… “What are you getting at Miss Harvey?” I ask her.
“Come humor me…” she tilts her head.
I sigh. “I’d be a fool not to find you attractive, though I don’t know how that’s of any pertinence to right now." I tell her.
She smiles. “So, what do you say Mr. Davenport, or can I call you Blake?” I ask her.
I have no idea what she’s up to. I choose to ignore her.
She moves closer to me. “Come on now, don’t ignore me.” she says.
I look at her, a little dress that leaves little to the imagination. She is leaning onto the desk giving me a full view of her breasts.
Is she hitting on me? She is hitting on me, right?
“So how sturdy is this desk exactly?” she asks.
I take her in, it’s been four years since I’ve so much as touched a woman sexually. Hell, I cannot even tell if she is flirting with me.
I stand from the desk and make my way around the desk. While I do that she hops onto the desk and sits on it.
I stand crossing my arms watching her.
“Oh, don’t you look hungry Blake…” she moans out.
I couldn’t help the reaction my body had toward her. I have never felt like this, not in years.
Her smile widens and she hops off the desk and stalks her way over to me.
She jumps on me, I barely have time to react before she kisses me hungrily, motherfucker. I quickly wrap my arms around her body, so she does not fall to the floor. I find myself kissing her back and enjoying every second of it.
Taking her in, I have no idea why Justin would ever cheat when he has this woman at home? I can barely focus on keeping us upright, so I walk up to my desk and place her on the desk, bringing my hands down to cup her ass, squeezing it, I love how well her ass fits into my hands.
My hands go under the little dress only to find her ass bare underneath it. Well, is she not daring to wear nothing under this little piece of fabric she dares to call a dress. If she were mine, I had never let her even step a foot out of the bedroom.
Her hands go to my jeans button, she unbuttons my jean, and it falls to the ground I step out of it, my hands go to her back, and I unzip her dress. She pulls it down before she attacks my lips again. She lifts my tee over my head and throws it to the ground. She pulls down my boxers.
She makes her way down to her knees while kissing my neck, chest, and stomach until she reached my fully erect dick. Her hand wraps around my dick and she slowly starts moving up and down. I have not done this in years, I’m scared I’ll come in seconds.
She licks the tip, licking off the pre-cum that is seeped out. she puts her mouth on my dick sucking me. I nearly screamed out. Fuck it has been so long.
"Fuck…” I groan out.
She takes more of me in her mouth while keeping her eyes on me.
She pulls away to lick down from my tip all the way to my balls. She takes me by surprise when she sucks one of my balls.
You can say what you want about Julliet Harvey, but the girl knows what she is going. And there is nothing sexier than a woman who takes charge in the bedroom.
She palms my dick, jerking me off, as she sucks my balls.
Jesus. I groan.
She moves back to sucking my dick, and palms my balls, massaging it.
Without warning, I come so hard, I do not even have time to warn her, but she surprises me when she swallows every single last drop, like a fucking boss.
I pick her up and place her bare ass on my desk. I drop to my knees and open her legs to give myself access.
I pause and just take her in. Jesus what a sight to behold. I tease her by kissing her inner thigh, from her right thigh to her left.
She grabs my head in both her hands and pushes me to touch her lips with my mouth. I let out a chuckle at how impatient she is.
She moans.
I massage her clit with my tongue, and she lets out a low moan.
I move down to her entrance; I swipe my tongue from her entrance right up to her clit.
“So, fucking wet for me…” I groan.
I plunge my tongue right inside of her. I feel her body jerk in surprise.
Her hands grip my hair pulling at it.
I pull my tongue out, I thrust two of my fingers inside of her, while I suck on her clit...
Her body begins to shake, I slow my pace down, she pulls at my hair.
I quicken my pace, thrusting my finger faster and harder into her. I hook my fingers inside of her so I can reach her g-spot. Her body trembles. I know she’s close.
She lets go of my hair, when I look up at her I see her playing with her nipples. Mother fucker I am hard again.
“You can come baby…” I murmur into her.
“Oh fuck, Oh Fuck. Oh, fucking Blake!” she screams out as the orgasm rips through her.
“Oh, baby I’m not done with you yet…” I say as I lick my fingers dry. She tastes like heaven.
She clings to me as I make my way to my feet. I position myself between her legs. I thrust into her.
"Ahh…" she moans.
I start to thrust causing us to moan out together. She feels like a dream. I want to savor the moment.
I quicken my pace.
"Ahh... Harder." She moans gripping my ass, feeling her fingernails in my ass cheeks.
I start ramming in her harder, faster...
I am close, I’m so close to coming, so fucking close. My hand goes down her body, I massage her swollen clit. I feel her body tense. She is close.
We climax together, screaming out together. I do not think I have ever come that hard before. Out of breath I lay on her. until I catch my breath. I move to the floor, laying spread eagle. I’m spent.
The room was silent, you could only hear the sound of us breathing loudly.
I have not felt so light in years, I have no idea if I’ve ever felt like this before.
"Shit now that’s how one should be fucked. I have never been fucked that hard before..." She says panting as lays on my desk...
I smile but don’t say anything.
The smile wipes off my face, the guilt starts to consume me. What the fuck did I just do?
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
Chapter 7Dianna DavenportPOVI run around my apartment singing and dancing. I’m in a good mood. I’ve just hit ten million subscribers on my YouTube channel. I couldn’t believe it. After all of my hard work I was finally reaping the benefits.My phone rings. I run across the room to my phone. “Alexa turn the music off.” I say picking up my phone.The music shuts off and I see my friend Abigail’s name on the screen. I answer the call.“Hey Abby.”“Hi D, look I’m at this swanky restaurant with a client. Why don’t you come over. He’s just about to leave we can have dinner and celebrate that you hit ten million.” She suggests.“Sure, I’ll just get ready. Send me the address.” I tell her.We chat for a little before we hang up so I can get ready. Abigail is a match maker for Match.com, her aunt started the company thirty years ago and it’s been really successful but with tinder and a lot of young people not wanting to settle down, business has been slow. I’m glad she’s meeting with new cl
Chapter 8Julliet HarveyPOV Sitting in a crowded restaurant is the last thing I planned to do tonight, Kenny won’t let me wallow in self-pity for any longer. I’m doomed to spend the rest of my life raising this baby alone. He won’t even listen to a word I have to say.She’s been shouting at me for the past hour because I slept with her boss. I never told her who the father is. When I told her I couldn’t tell the father she started demanding who the father is. And I confessed.Everyone knows except me that he is grieving the loss of his dead wife for years now. Everyone knows he spoils his sister-in-law and how she’s sick as well.Listening to her rant for the past hour has drained me more than I thought it would. I’m just tired. I want to be tired in peace. But she’s not letting me.This pregnancy is knocking me on my ass. I didn’t expect to be this exhausted. Honestly, I didn’t expect to be fucking pregnant.Wait can the baby hear my thoughts? Should I stop swearing? I know the bab
Chapter 9 Skylor BassettPOVAfter hearing the argument between Julliet Harvey and Blake I stood there in shock. Not moving until they went into one of the private rooms. After getting into an argument with Dianna again. She’s always hated me and stood in between Blake and me.She loved Rene yet she wanted nothing to do with me. I was frustrated with her; I made her belief I left but I wanted to be sure Julliet was actually pregnant. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but from the way they interacted I’d say she was truly pregnant.She’s pregnant with Blake’s child? She’s tried to trap Blake with a baby?No, no, no. Blake he wouldn’t. I’ve been trying to get him to notice me, to move on from my sister’s death but he couldn’t even think about it. But to move on with her? instead of me? After all my hard work to get him to move on only for him to move on with her an internet whore? How dare she seduce Blake? How is this possible? Since meeting her at the hospital Blake has been too
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
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
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’d just got back but Aiden needed him so that very night he’d gotten back he had to leave. Our night was so uneventful. We had gotten engaged and then five seconds later he had to leave. 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 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 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
