Chapter 60Samantha JamesonPOVI sit on the bench in a nearby park, I was still in disbelief. I couldn’t bring myself to believe he would actually do something like that.It’s gone, all of its gone. My entire life’s saving, my investments everything. Every single paycheck I made since I started modelling. The side jobs I saved up so much money, a nest egg for my future. The trust Aaron and I set up for Harry gone, everything is gone.I’d just filled out a police report. The money from Harry’s trust I can’t rely on that because he had access to that.When Aaron and I started dating, he’d told me about an investment firm and we invested money separately, he didn’t have access to that money.I’d check on the account regularly but with everything going on with Aaron cheating, then Craig, I haven’t checked it since before then.I can’t believe it’s all gone. From what the police told me, the bank should be liable since my signature isn’t on any of the paperwork and they’d given the money
Chapter 61Julliet HarveyPOVI run my fingers through my hair when I walk over to the girls’ room. They’re asleep. But I love watching the girls sleep. Having them both at home really brings joy to my heart.I can’t believe how much my life has changed over the last year. I’m in a healthy relationship and I have two beautiful girls. I’ve never felt this blessed since before my parents died.I open the door and walk in closing the door behind me. I can’t believe how much I love this little babies already. And with each passing day that love only grows by tenfold.I stand by their crib. We tried to have them sleep in their individual cribs, but the girls would only cry unless they slept in the same one.Almost every morning we find Hallie hugging her older sister. Haisley loves her little sister as well, you can see it in the way she holds her sister’s hands in her tiny little fingers.I kiss both girls and walk out before I wake them.I walk back to Blake and my room. Blake was at wor
Chapter 62Kendall MarksPOVI’ve dealt with many people in my life. It comes with the job, I meet with people from all walks of life, from assholes to saints. Justin Bradford could give the devil a run for his money. The man is worse than scum.He would kill to have his goals. I never liked the asshole, but my friend was so in love that I just had to put up with him.I’m not saying I’m happy with her current relationship either. The man has commitment issues but at least he would never cheat on her the way Justin did.Sitting in front of my boss was one of the last things I wanted to be doing right now. But I knew I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed his help. I needed his resources.I’ve been uncomfortable around Blake Davenport since he and my best friend started seeing one another.“Miss Marks. I don’t have all day. Glaring at me doesn’t seem very productive now does it?” The boss says sarcastically.I glare at him. “I need your help…” I grit out.He looks at me amused. “Okay Miss
Chapter 63Samantha JamesonPOVCraig pulls me closer into his arms and kisses my bare shoulder. “God I’m so happy right now…”I smile. I don't say anything after Craig came home from his trip last week, he's held me close to him. I'd confessed my troubles to him and as I expected he wanted to kill Aaron. I had to hold him off from searching for Aaron and letting the law deal with him.He'd officially lose all custody of Harry and it makes me sad. My daughter would lose all contact with her father, and she won't understand why.She already barely sees him I hate that Aaron keeps coming up with more ways to ruin things. She doesn't understand what he's done wrong in her mind he's still her father. And she still asks for him.I open my eyes. And relish this moment with my husband..."Well, aren't you excited..." I mention his member brushing up against my ass cheeks.“Its a natural reaction to having you in my arms and having a morning wood." he growls.I turn to face him."What are you
“Why the hell would I do that exactly? You’re nothing but a piece of shit who stole not only me but his own daughter’s future.” Its what pissed me off most, he stole from Harry’s trust fund. Money for her college fund, money that could have gone towards her wedding or whatever she wanted to use it for. It was her money to do with what she saw fit, and him stealing it from her robing her of her future.Craig created a new trust fund for Harry, it wasn’t his responsibility because he isn’t her father, but he did anyway. I can’t say the same for her own father. Craig has been a better father to Harry than Aaron’s ever been. I close my eyes; I hate that I keep doing that. I keep comparing Craig and Aaron, I know it’s wrong. They’re two different people, two different upbringings, two different morals and values. Yet the man with a perfect childhood is more morally corrupt than a man who had to fight throughout his childhood? Having his childhood robbed from him.“I see… You think that bas
Chapter 64Samantha BlackheartPOV“When we first met, I was floored by your beauty, but then we had an actual conversation that lasted for hours, we just sat in each other’s company, and we enjoyed the moment we shared. I remembered exactly when I fell for you. We were going through a couple of dad jokes and your head fell back laughing, your hair fell out of the messy bun, and I just sat there in awe of how beautiful you really are.I remembered thinking I really like this woman, there could be something here, as soon as I found out who you really were, I was so upset, I remember going to see Blake and we talked about it. In my mind I’ve thought about a hundred ways to take you away from Aaron, especially after I found out about the cheating. Yet life works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it?Your daughter ran up to me in a coffee shop and that when we met again. We’d gone for drinks not long after that. And the rest was history. So many moments brought us to this exact moment where you
She was someone I trusted more than anything. She knew about my daughter. I invited her into my inner circle. We’d been really close friends. She’d known about Aaro cheating, though I’d never let my true feelings show, people always assumed I stayed with Aaron because of my love for him and not because of Harry. Even Aaron assumed it’s because I was clinging to him. He never believed I truly didn’t love him anymore.I did love this man, but there is only so much a woman can take before she feels absolutely nothing for a man.For years I’ve felt nothing for him, not when he stepped all over my love and threw it in my face. Long before we actually broke, we’d stopped sleeping together, with the string of women he’s left in his wake I didn’t want to catch something. We’d slept separating. We were basically coparenting until he’d slept with his assistant in our house and then I wanted him out. I didn’t trust him with Harry anymore. I wasn’t upset about the cheating I was upset that he did
Chapter 65Craig BlackheartPOV“Craig you can’t possibly marry that woman!” my mother storms into my office at Blackstone industries.The one day I pay a visit to the office she’s here trying to ruin my whole day. I rarely visited BI, since I run more than one company, but once a week, I make my way out here to sign documents and check on a few things as well. I’ve got two assistants here as well. Who keeps things in order for when I come in. Casha and Stanford. They basically make sure all my work is on this desk and I don’t have to leave my office.“Good morning to you too Mother. Please take a seat. Would you like a coffee? Tea perhaps?” I smile.She nods toward my assistant. “Tea… An English breakfast. Be sure to add sweetener no sugar.” She orders.I nod at Casha. She’s good when it comes to family. She treats them respectfully and doesn’t let their snotty attitude get to her. Anyone else would have thrown the tea in my mother’s face.Standford would have ignored my mother and j
