Chapter 21Julliet HarveyPOV“Julliet…” I felt someone touch me.I look up to see Blake. I smile and place my laptop down beside me. “Hey. I didn’t hear you come in.”He smiles and sits beside me. “I didn’t know if you were asleep or not and you like sleeping down here…” he says in an amused tone.I love these sofa’s they’re so comfortable. I can just lay in them and relax. I fall asleep so often Blake is used to it by now. He always finds me on them.I think we’ve grown closer since I’ve moved in. We’re more open with one another. Oh, and I love teasing him. When I so much as mentioned getting naked, he starts to squirm and turns red in the face. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I can see he finds me attractive. At night when he thinks I’m asleep he speaks to the babies. He tells them about his day, and how much he’ll love them. It’s my highlight of the day. I wait to hear what he’ll say next.“Did you have a good day?” I ask him.He sighs deeply “I got promoted to CEO.” he say
Chapter 21 Part 2“Blay Blay!”“Daddy Blay Blay is here!” Madison shouts.She runs to me and jumps into my arms.I kiss the top of her head hugging her. “Hello Madi”“Blay Blay did you miss me? Did you miss me? Did you?” she asks.I pout as though I was thinking before answering.“No, I completely forgot about Madi…” I say.She sighs dramatically crossing her arms. “Bad Blay Blay. I’m gonna tell daddy.” she scolds me.I laugh at her. “Of course, I missed you Madi…” I say hugging her tightly.She hugged me back. “You better or daddy will give you a spanking…” she warns.I smile… Madison was only five years old. Brandon made it clear early on he wasn’t interested in the fight for my inheritance. He is a well-respected therapist and has a husband who works for a small law firm that handles property disputes. When I said I kind of get along with him meant, I like his daughter and my mom babysits her sometimes. My mom knew about my father’s affairs but unlike the rest Brandon’s mother was
chapter 22Julliet HarveyPOVJulliet Davenport.Julliet Harvey – Davenport.Julliet Davenport…I bite my lip.We’re driving to our doctor’s appointment, and I keep thinking about Blake and I getting married. I know it’s not a possibility of ever getting married to Blake, but I can’t help fantasizing about being his wife.I’m being selfish, I’m only thinking about myself when I think about us getting married. Blake is still hurting and mourning the loss of his wife. She must have been an amazing woman, I don’t want Blake to stop loving her, to love me. I just wish he’d love me a little bit. A tiny space in his heart just for me.We’ve basically driven in silence, both stuck in our own heads. I’m being delusional thinking about my wedding day and taking Blake’s last name, I have no idea what is going through Blake’s head. I don’t know if I want to know, I fear he doesn’t have the same thoughts I do. I fear Blake might think this was a terrible idea and ask me to move out.I met his mot
Chapter 23Julliet HarveyPOVI’d just returned home from having dinner with Kendell and Paige. Paige has been talking about maybe getting married and starting a family. Her and Storm have been speaking about the future. I can’t help but feel as though I’m stuck in the past. I’m stuck thinking about how I’ll never have what she and storm has. I make my way to the bathroom. Seeing Blake already asleep. I try to be as quiet as possible. I’m surprised he’s asleep this early. This isn’t like Blake to sleep so early. Once I’m done with my bath, I lay beside him. Blake pulls me into his arms.“It’s funny how easy it was for you to move on Lettie.” Justin’s voice rings in my ear.I pull away from him. He pulls me back into his arms."Oh no you don’t. You think now that you’ve found Blake, I’ll let you go? Trapping Blake won’t make him love you. I love you, Lettie. Leave Blake and come with me." He says."Please leave" I beg. I didn’t have the energy to deal with Justin. He is someone from
Chapter 24Blake DavenportPOVI run my fingers through my hair, I just came out of a five-hour long meeting with the shareholders about my new appointment as acting CEO. Though Aiden made me promise not to tell them I was acting and not permanent. Aiden’s dad tried to stop it. He tried to bring in the fact that I was having children while I wasn’t married. The shareholders knew about my wife and knew I’d never remarry. Though they were happy I was moving on with my life and that’s why they agreed to make me CEO.Thinking about Julliet, should I text her to remind her to take her vitamins? I quickly send the text to her.This morning scared me, Julliet screaming both her and I wake freaking scared me. Her crying herself to sleep had me gutted. If I didn’t have this meeting today, I would have stayed with her this morning to make sure she’s okay.I haven’t heard from her since. I know she has a shoot today. I hope she’s not overworking herself.There’s a knock on my office door.“Come
Chapter 25Blake DavenportPOVIt took two hours to arrange a new room for Julliet, once it was sorted, four guards were brought to the hospital. One in the room next door, on the left and on the right. Then two posted by the door.I sit on the chair by her bed and touch her hand. She’s deadly pale. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. Julliet is normally a very lively person seeing her like this is heart breaking."Julliet..."My phone rings distracting me. I let go of her hand and pick up my phone.“Jesus what happened? What the hell is going on? Some people are saying Julliet got sick at work. While others are saying she tried to have an abortion. Jesus it’s crazy out here." Craig is panting by the time he’s done speaking."What?""Jesus get on with it. I said that people are saying Julliet tried to abort the babies. What the fuck happened? Did you fight for something?" he asks.My eyes darken. “Someone poisoned Julliet’s water with abortion pills." I say coldly.“What? Is Julliet
Chapter 26 Julliet HarveyPOV“Mom? Dad? Where are you?” I ask walking into the house. I drop my school bag by the door and walk deeper into the house. “Jullian it’s too early for that, Lettie is still young.” I hear my mom speaking from the kitchen. I walk closer softly so they don’t hear me.“If anything were to happen to us, I want my brother and his wife to take care of Lettie. I want to make sure our daughter is taken care of. Our entire wealth will be left to her one day. This might be the very house she raises her children in one day.” My father says firmly. “Jullian be serious right now. Changing your will, will upset a lot of people. The fact that Lettie is a girl they’ll target her.” “Don’t worry Lettie will only have access to all of it once she’s married. I’ve made sure to add the clause.” Before my mother could say anything my father spots me. “Lettie you’re home?” he gets up from the counter and rushes over to me, lifting me up into his arms. “Gosh my girl is get
Chapter 27 Blake DavenportPOVI watch as Julliet’s family happily speak to her, I watch from the sidelines. I don’t feel like I fit in. My sister and mother were here but went home after speaking both Julliet and I for a little while.I walk out of the room. The two guards standing by the door greeted me. I nod in their direction. I stand beside them outside Julliet room. I bite my lip. I feel like an outsider amongst her family.I suppose I am an outsider. I didn’t expect to feel this way when being with them. I guess Julliet and I aren’t really dating, and they don’t need to make feel welcomed.My phone rings. I let out a sigh of relief at the sound, I thought I’d find it annoying at this point, but right now I welcome the distraction.“We have Justin what do you want us to with him? He had a girlfriend with him, to say she was an interesting lady would be an understatement.” Derek says sounding amused.“I’ll be there in an hour.” I tell him.“I’ll be waiting…” he says before hang
