Chapter 2
Julliet Harvey
POV
Everything 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 the advice of my lawyer.
When I arrived the bitch at reception refused to even listen to me and called security on me. Me! Me Julliet Harvey!
My scandals puts food on their damn tables and I was being disrespected like that.
If Blake had not stepped in when he did, I would have sued the whole damn company, Kenny could have gotten a job somewhere else.
Though I was not able to reach Ken I must say my morning sure was fruitful. Blake sure is more than just eye candy. The man is God, I have no words. I’m laying breathless on his desk, after being thoroughly fucked.
I have never seen stars before while I cum. I do not think I will ever catch my breath again, no not in this like time.
I do not know how long I lay there before I get up. I hear movement from him. I see him getting up and getting dress.
“Can you please pass me my dress?” I ask him.
He does not look at me but chucks my dress at me.
“Through the door on the right is a bathroom, you can clean up in there.” He points to the door; his voice is devoid of any emotions.
Does he regret what we just did?
Does he really regret fucking me? He looked like he was enjoying it.
I quickly make my way into the bathroom to clean myself. Once I have my dress on, and I am all cleaned up, I look at myself in the mirror. I see my hairs a mess I quickly tie it in a messy bun. My brown eyes do not look as dead as it did yesterday…
I do not know what my plan is, but I am going to make Blake mine. The man’s single. Fine and he has an amazing personality. While except for his post sex attitude.
That is something I am willing to overlook. It is great sex, a good-looking man and freshly broken heart. What could possibly go wrong.
I splash some water in my face I look for a towel not seeing one I check the cabinet under the sink. Finding a towel, I pull it out. A picture falls from the towel and onto the floor. I pick it up.
My heart freezes when I see a wedding picture. He is married? Fuck that shit!
I rush out of the bathroom with the picture in my hand.
“You’re married?” I ask throwing the picture at him.
He picks it up. He looks at the picture. When he looks at me. Guilt lingers in his eyes. My eyes travel to his hand a gold band on his ring finger. How did I even miss that? How did I not notice it before?
I shake my head. I rush out of his office. That fucker!
“Julliet! Wait, let me explain” he calls after me. But I ignore him.
Fuck that shit.
I can’t believe that happened to me. I can’t believe after everything I’ve been through, after being cheated on for years, I’ve just been the bad guy I’ve always hated. I have always blamed the women for hitting on Justin, but men are liars. Men are pathological liars.
I do not believe anything they say anymore.
I rush out of the building to my car. I get in and drive off. I do not even know where I am driving to, but I need to get away from here. I need to get out of here.
How could this have happened to me? Does everyone in this world deserve happiness except for me?
What did I do in my past life to deserve to be treated like this? Did I kill people? Did I sell women and children for a profit? Was I a devil? It must have been something serious for it to be this bad.
I reach my new house. Paige helped me buy it last month. It is a two story, five bedroom, five and a half bath, a pool in the backyard, a home theater, a home gym, and a tennis court in the backyard, I do not even know how to play tennis. The rules seem simple enough but then I got two blue eyes when Paige and I played as kids. I am sure to stay the hell away from flying balls.
I make my way up the stairs to my bedroom, I walk straight to the bathroom. I step out of my stilettos and chuck them in the bin, I do the same with my dress I don’t want any memories of today. It is not even twelve yet and I want to do shots.
I run my bath water. I untie my hair in front of the mirror. I pick up my brush from the counter and run the brush through my hair. I needed a hair cut. My hair is too long for me to manage right now, it reaches my tailbone. Though I normally have stylists doing my hair for the past two months I have been doing my own hair.
Once I am done, I turn the tap off and get into the steaming hot bath. I close my eyes and try to relax.
Though all I see is that damn man when I close my eyes. His dark eyes plague my thoughts. The way his almost jet black hair felt in my hands, so silky and soft. Justin’s always had gel in it so I could not run my fingers through his hair.
My eyes snap open. What the actual hell is wrong with me? I am never touching his hair again as a matter of fact, I’m not so much as going near him, or looking in his direction.
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
Chapter 10 Craig BlackheartPOVWhen I woke up this morning, I wanted to go for a run, and I did… I wasn’t into fitness, but I took Blake’s advice and tried to stay busy to Keep Samantha James off my mind. It was harder than I thought.Blake has been my best friend since we were kids, we’d grown up together, we grew up around the same type of parents, we’d only seen the worst of love, our fathers cheated on our mothers constantly, a new gift came home with every new mistress. I’d vowed to never be like Harrold Blackheart, marriage has never been something I was interested until I saw Blake and Rene together.Blake made Rene his entire world. The two met in high school when he saw her for the first time, he vowed to make her his wife. I thought he was crazy until he did. Right after college the two got married and they would have lasted until Rene died because she was pregnant and caused issues with her heart. Blake blamed himself for her death. He wouldn’t listen to anyone and drowne
