Chapter 38

Third person

POV

Everyone sat at the dining room table, in awkward silence. Everyone sat in their own thoughts.

Blake spent the day outside with Craig. They returned an hour before dinner was served.

Storm and Paige were looking around the table trying to figure out what was going on.

Kendell and Ryan were eating their pasta with worried looks on their faces.

Julliet was stabbing away at her food. She looked most upset. She’d spent her day alone locked in her room. With the shopping trip cancelled because of her tantrum this morning she spent most of her day in her room alone, thinking Blake would have checked on her but instead he disappeared from the house completely.

Samantha and Craig were uncomfortable with the strange atmosphere. Craig explained how important today was for Blake before they left that morning. So, she sympathized with Blake, though she didn’t agree with keeping this from Julliet and the way Julliet’s trying to murder her supper she’s contemplating kil

    Chapter 39 She narrows her eyes but doesn’t say anything… I don’t know how long we sat in silence before she spoke up.“You blame yourself for her getting pregnant or you blame yourself for not waking up in time to save her?” she asks.I squirm in my seat. I nod, I couldn’t get any words out, my throat felt thick, and I couldn’t get a word out.“I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s not your fault. Have you paid a visit to Rene’s parents? Do they blame you?” she asks.I bite my lip. “I haven’t seen them since the last memorial service.” I tell her honestly.She nods back to writing in that damn book. “And your girlfriend? How does she feel being put on the sidelines?” she asks.I look away. “I don’t know what Julliet is to me. but right now, she hates me. I made her hate me. So, she never loves me…”“And how did you do that? Did you say something or do something to anger her so she would lessen your guilt?” she asks.I look at her, nodding. That’s exactly what I did.“Well, tha

I need an outfit. This is a date. I want to look presentable.I know Garret has a son from a previous marriage. From what he’s told me, him and his ex get along well. She’s married with two children.I wonder if my father and my mother divorced and put their children first would they have been like Garret and his ex-wife? Would my mother still have the same scars and pain if she left the man who made sure to flaunt his mistresses in her face every chance he got?His illegitimate making my brother’s life a living hell.

    “And you? why haven’t you dated?” I ask him.He scrunches up his face. “Because I’ve seen how women mistreat children when they’re not their own. I didn’t want to risk a woman hurting my son when I wasn’t around.” He says.I nod in understanding. “I get what you mean. People mistreat their own children sometimes…” I couldn’t hide the bitterness in my voice.He looks at me, but he doesn’t ask. I’m grateful.“My father favored sons to daughters. He believed having a daughter was a weakness. My brother was the heir to his empire. Didn’t want anything to do with my father. My father had four other sons from other women, and he made them all fight for the company. Only to give it to the son who didn’t want it after he died. One of his sons I’m close to because he wanted nothing to do with my father and his mother was my mother’s best friend. The other three are still scheming behind the scenes to steal from my brother.” I explain.Garret frowns and shakes his head. “It’s always the perfect

    Chapter 41Dianna DavenportPOVSomething shifted in Garret and me after our so-called date. We’ve spoken daily for the past month, we can talk about just about anything, it doesn’t matter what it is, but we can speak about it. I don’t feel like I’ve got to hide anything from him, I don’t even feel like I have to show him a better part of myself.I’ve never had that before. We video call when I have a face mask on, we video call when I just got out of the shower and have a towel around me and on my head.We haven’t done anything sexual or spoken about anything like that.My alarm goes off. Shit instead of thinking about Garret I was supposed to be setting up my camera.I press the timer on my camera it gives me five seconds to gather myself.FiveFourThreeTwoOne.I smile widely. “Good day everyone I’m glad you all could join my live.

Today was one of the busiest days of my life.I was in board meeting after board meeting, then meeting with our staff, having to form a statement to release, helping Aiden with the funeral arrangements and the memorial for the staff.At around ten Aiden’s half brother decided he wanted the CEO position calling a man board meeting.I make my way up the stairs.When I enter my bedroom, I’m surprised to see Julliet’s missing.She must be sleeping in her own bedroom. I did tell her I wasn’t going to make it home tonight, but Aiden called it a night around twelve in case Julliet needed me.I didn’t think she’d go back to her own room. I thought my bed was more comfortable. That’s what she said.Oh well.I shrug off my blazer throwing it on the bed, ripping off my tie throwing it on the bed.Placing my

    Chapter 43Julliet HarveyPOVI won’t lie I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven.When I bit into Blake’s shoulder he turned me around roughly. My hands braced against the wall. He caressed down my arms. Just touching me turned me. I bit back a moan.He leaned in, his lips grazing my ear. His hands on my ass squeezing gently.“I thought you were a boob guy?” I purr out.Blake groans. “I’m an ass guy, a boob guy. A you guy…” he kisses my cheek.I try to ignore the butterflies in my stomach hearing him tell him, he’s a me guy. The things Blake said sometimes could be damn misleading.“Where’s your head at?” Blake asks.I shake my head. “I’m thinking about how long I’m going to be punished for?” I lie through my teeth; I might never get Blake’s heart but at least I’d have his body. His hot body. For a writer Blake looks like a jock. I’ve dated nothing but jocks my entire life being with my childhood crush I’d promised I would marry when I grew up.Life is funny like that right?

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
