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? Here I
Chapter 44One week later.Dianna DavenportPOVI was rundown and beat. I’d spent the entire night staring at my phone. Over the past week Garret and I’ve been taking our relationship to the next level and that meant meeting family. last night he told me wanted me to come to his son’s game tonight so I could meet Grayson. I’ve never met a man’s son before.I do know Grayson set us put, but we’ve never met he could change his mind about liking me, since he knew nothing about me. It’s a Friday night, I didn’t expect them to play at night. What does one where to a school hockey game? I’ve never been much of a sports fan, so I have no idea what to wear to them.After an hour on google, I decide on a white tank top and a dark blue skinny jean with a pair of chunky beige heeled boots and a thick beige coat. When I was ready, I felt exhausted. Taking a few pictures for my Instagram I was ready to go.To add the pressure Garret told me I was meeting his ex-wife Sarah and her husband.I’d neve
Chapter 45Craig BlackheartPOVI'm currently in New Orleans tracking down a lead on a new lead on a story I was covering. My source has gone radio silent since we landed.I’ve been trying to track her down and find out who the fuck she is, so I can tear her a new one. I wanted nothing more than to throttle her.I wanted nothing more than to climb in bed with my beautiful girlfriend right now instead of sitting on my private plane waiting to hear from my PI.Shit I forgot, I promised Harry I’d bring something home from this trip. I take out my phone and I log onto my amazon account. I was going to order her something.If I’m in New Orleans when I’m ordering, that means I’ve bought it in NO right?"You know flying out here was ridiculous I could have found her from my basement in New York…” Alfonso complains taking a seat in front of me.He’s upset he had to leave his house, yet alone getting on a plane to meet me here.“Well did you find her?” I ask him ignoring his complaints it’s ho
As soon we landed, I was out of the plane and luckily my driver was there waiting for me.Alfonso’s car was waiting for him as well.When I got into the car my assistant Grace was waiting for me. She brief’s me on what I missed, and we get some work done on the drive to Samantha’s house.Now that I’m thinking about it, I really should move her out of that place. Now that Aaron was messing with my work now.“I received a call from a Miss Benson, she claims to have spoken to you. I wasn’t sure if you have spoken to her, I told her I’d get back to her.” Grace Quin has been my assistant four at least ten years now, she was an intern when she started as my assistant, and I was still learning the ropes from my mother.“I spoke to her; Alfonso will be emailing her as soon as he’s home.” I hoped he’d remember.I take out my phone to send him a text to remind him.That reminds me Benson had sent me a text. I open it.{Chloe Benson:I don’t like being used for personal vendettas thank you for t
Chapter 46Blake DavenportPOV“How do you plan on taking the company from me exactly?” Aiden asks with interest.Austin sitting across from us, trying to sue for half of the company. I lean back in my seat this was going to be a long ass day.“He was my father.” he says proudly.I wouldn’t be so proud if I was him. His father used him to keep Aiden on his toes, everyone knew Aiden was going to get all of his father’s assets. The only person who thought he’d get anything was Austin Willows, he never even got his father’s last name, and he thinks he deserves anything?I think about my weekend ahead. I’m heading to Florida to see Rene’s parents to tell them about Julliet’s pregnancy. I can’t help the dread that fills me.“You’re not getting a dim. You don’t deserve anything Austin. If you truly do want something work for it the way the rest of us did. You want to work here, start at the bottom like the rest of us did. You want to have shares buy them with your own money.” I tell him.Th
Chapter 47 Blake DavenportPOVIf I was being honest, I didn’t think I’d ever have to this.Having lunch my in-laws was nerve-wrecking. Shockingly Skylor hasn’t told them anything about Julliet’s pregnancy. I’ve loved this family since I before I married into it. The perfect family. Parents who loved each other unconditionally, no cheating or backstabbing. You never had to look over your shoulder or be on guard during dinner.“Did you say Skylor’s in Germany?” Mr. Basset asks.I nod. “Yes, she’s playing at some concert there, I have a few guards keeping an eye on her, and making sure she keeps up with her doctor’s appointments.” I assure them.They nod. Mrs. Basset wrings her fingers. “We were a little surprised when you messaged this morning you were on your way to the house…” she says softly.I nod. “There’s something I wanted to discuss with you before you hear it from someone else…” I say nervously. I’d taken my wedding off again. I’d forgotten it at home, I was in such a hurry w
Chapter 48Julliet HarveyPOVI suck my lips in, my airpods in my ears listening to Taylor’s 1989 album.I tie my hair into a high ponytail.I’ve got a shoot today with Blake for our pregnancy shoot. I’ve gotten so big that it’s hard for me to do things and go out. Being pregnant isn’t fun and with Blake being gone not only last weekend but he decided to stay in Miami the entire week. I realized how much the couple meant to him; I didn’t think he’d be this close to his wife’s parents.He’ll be coming home today for the shoot. Or at least I pray he is, I don’t want to do it alone.I sigh walking up to Blake’s closet. Grabbing one of his black t-shirts. I place it on, it’s starting to fit a lot snugger than I’d like. Placing on one of his grey sweatpants as well.I’m out the door later than I should be.My driver Harris opens the door for me, and I get in at the back. Blake got me a driver as soon as I moved in. He didn’t feel comfortable with me driving while I’m pregnant. He hired a s
Chapter 49 Blake DavenportPOVI dropped Julliet at home, and I decided I wanted to visit Rene’s grave, Julliet and I have been together for so long and I know I want us to straighten out things before our girls are born. I want our girls to live in a happy home where both parents love one another.It's not lost on me that Julliet has feelings for me. I know she does. She told me she didn’t expect anything from me though. She just wanted to be honest with me. She knew I still loved Rene and she knew it would be hard for me to move on from Rene.I run my fingers through my hair and finally got out of my car, I’ve been sitting in my car for a half an hour now, I close the door behind me and lock the car, and I walk into the graveyard.My feet lead me to her final resting place. I place the flowers by her headstone.I sit down on her grave and lean against her headstone. I close my eyes. It’s been so long since I’ve been here and didn’t burst into tears. When Rene died, I got a single g
