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
Chapter 66Craig BlackheartPOVI can finally go home. It’s already eight in the evening and I’m beat. I’d left work at five, but not long after I left, I realized I’d forgotten my phone at home, so I had to turn around and drive back to the office. When I did Stanford had just brought this week’s documents for me to sign. So, I’d just finished that.I hope Sam didn’t wait for me to eat. I didn’t get a chance to message her that I’d be late. I just wish they didn’t wait for me. Harry’s bedtime is at eight so I hope they didn’t wait up for me. Harry has a habit of not wanting to go to sleep without wishing me a goodnight.I love those little moments, having someone waiting for me at home, a little girl who loves me as if I’m the best thing since sliced bread. Honestly, I’ve never felt so full in my life. like my heart’s whole if that makes sense.The drive home was calming to my nerves, with everything that happened today. I can’t wait to snuggle with my wife in bed before falling asle
I almost lost my damn shit. After listening to everything I’ve just said they’re not convinced Aaron Jackson is behind this? what more do I have to do to convince these assholes that the man is behind this. If they’re looking in the wrong direction… A shiver runs down my spine if Aaron gets away with Samantha. What he could possibly do to her.“I don’t think anyone else is behind this…” I tell them.They write that down. “What about your parents? Were they against your marriage?” Detective Martenez asks.I run my fingers through my hair in frustration, I was so close to pulling my own hair out. “It couldn’t have been my parents. My parents were at the office all day, I know this because I had people watching them so I could avoid them.” I tell them.They frown.“What about paying someone to kidnap her?” Martenez asks.I narrow my eyes at him. “My mother would never waste money that way. She’d rather spend her money on the latest pair of shoes or a trip with the girls. I send my mother
