I nod. “We could do something at home as well, I don’t feel comfortable with that either, but that’s a part of our lives as well. We won’t be able to keep them in that bubble forever.” I say.She shakes her head "I know, but they’re too young right now..."I smile kissing her head "Of course, we’ll do it the way you want it…" I tell her.“So, when are we trying for baby number three?” she asks.My eyes widen. “What? You just gave birth to the girls and you’re already thinking of another? If I remember correctly, you were in labor for almost twenty-four hours.” I remind her.She smiles. “I want a boy as well. And I thought you’d want a son…”“The girls are more than enough for me. I don’t think I ever want to see you in the same about of pain again. Jesus, I’ve never felt that powerless in my life…” I shake my head.Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine."You’re being dramatic again..." she rolls her eyes."I am not being dramatic Julliet. You were in so much pain and refu
Chapter 75Garret VanderbiltPOVFor as long as I could remember I’ve never thought about being with another woman after Sarah and I divorced. Here am I sitting in my house with a ring in my hand.Dianna and I haven’t dated long but I know I want to marry this woman; I love her with everything in me. My feelings for her continue to grow with each waking moment.Grayson has been my whole life since the moment he was born. I gave my entire being into his care. My son was my whole heart. I wouldn’t change any of the choices or the decisions I’ve made in my life.I’d already spoken to Grayson, and he actually helped me pick out this ring. A ten-carat diamond platinum ring. The ring is huge. The thing weighs a ton.Grayson encouraged me to take this step. I was ready but I wasn’t sure if Grayson was. He was more than happy for me to take this step. Dianna is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Our chance meeting and Grayson’s intervention brought us together.But I believe
"I’ll have the house dry white please." Dianna says."Will you be having the same as well sir?" she asks.I shake my head. “No, I’ll just have an orange juice please. I’m driving…” I tell her."Would you like me to bring out your drinks now or with your food?" she asks.“You can bring it out now…” I tell her.She nods and leaves.Dianna and I speak about what we have planned for the next few months. What we’re doing for Christmas.“I normally spend Christmas morning with Gray and then he goes and has Christmas dinner with his mom and her family.” I tell her.“Do you want to spend Christmas evening with my family? We’re opening gifts in the evening with everyone. The whole gang will be there. With Paige’s baby’s due date next month, I assume she’ll be there as well.” Dianna says.I remember Paige, Julliet’s cousin’s dad has cancer and has two months to live, if everything goes well, he’ll get to meet his grandson before he dies.The food was great and the more we spoke the less nervous
Chapter 76Hours earlierJulliet HarveyPOVSitting in a crowded restaurant with my best friend wasn’t my idea of a good time anymore. I’ve gotten used to being at home all the time now being out and about isn’t as fun as it used to be.“So, what are we doing for Paige’s baby shower? We never got to do your baby shower…” Kendell asks.I pull a face. “I haven’t spoken to Paige in a while. She’s been busy working and focusing on her father. Unless we have it with her dad, I don’t think she’ll want anything to do with a baby shower.” I tell her.She nods. “How is she doing?” she asks.I sigh. “She’s handling better than I thought she would. I thought she’d completely shut down…” I tell her.She nods while taking a sip of her wine.“So how things with Ryan and you?” I ask her.She blushes. “We’re good. Things are going a lot slower than I expected them to. But we’ve been talking about the future together. So, I’m excited for the future…” she tells me.I smile. “I’m so happy for you… You o
Chapter 77Blake DavenportPOVI watch as Julliet and Kendell. My mind stuck on Sasha making his move. Dianna and Julliet might be in danger. I clench my fists.I knew Garret was with Dianna, I need to ask him to look after my sister. I trusted Garret with my sister, but not with my problems. I shouldn’t tell him everything. Was I being paranoid? Yes, but with a family like mine I had every right not to trust anyone.I text Derek about Sasha.When I get a text from Derek back that Dean stopped by my mother’s house, I clench my teeth.“Babe why don’t you and Kendell head home? I’m sure the girls miss their mother…" I smile."You’re coming home with us?" she asks.I shake my head. “No, I’m heading back to the office, there’s a few things I left, and I need to finish tonight. But I’ll be home later…” I tell her.She nods. “I’m sorry for taking you away from your work.” she apologizes.I shake my head. “You’re more important.” I give a peck on the lips.I walk Julliet and Kendell out of t
Chapter 78Julliet HarveyPOVI run my fingers through my hair I take in the chaos. For the past week all of Blake’s friends and their partners have been sleeping here.When Blake told me him and his friends have come up with a crazy idea, the last thing I expected was faking my death would be a part of this plan.Blake takes my hand into his. We were watching Craig and Aiden get into yet another argument. I lost count of what it was this time. These two have been at it for days and it’s getting a little old.I turn to look at Blake, he looks at them shaking his head before turning on the tv.“Okay that’s enough. It’s almost time…” he says.The two stop and move closer.“Just in, Blake Davenport and Julliet Harvey were in a horrific car accident with their babies, we don’t know anything other than the two are in a critical condition…” Calista the news anchor says.The co-host nods. “An inside source says the baby girls are fine and will be taken care of by Davenport’s sister and her p
Chapter 79Dianna DavenportPOV"Miss Davenport these files need your signature.” Chris my new assistant says. Well Blake’s previous assistant says.The company basically runs itself there is hardly any work for me. Which is great because I have no idea what I’m doing. I sign what they tell me to, Blake tells me what to say in meetings. He’s in my ear telling me when to smile, when to nod, when to look bored. I must say being a CEO is hard work.When my identity was made public, I was hesitant, I didn’t want people connecting me to the Davenport name, but I can’t hide forever so here I am."Thank you, Chris... I'll check those files in a bit." I smile at him.He nods walking out of the office.I go through the files signing my name on all of them, we’re waiting for Sasha to come and barge in. It’s been a week of this and no word from any of them.To get this to work we didn’t even tell my mother or Brandon about this plan. We only told Julliet’s aunt and uncle because her uncle was si
Chapter 80HEADLINESBLAKE DAVENPORT HAS LEFT THIS WORLD. LEAVING BEHIND TWO LITTLE GIRLS.EARLY THIS MORNING BLAKE DAVENPORT AND HIS GIRLFRIEND JULLIET HARVEY HAS SUCCUMBED TO THEIR INJURIES AND DIED.BLAKE DAVENPORT DEAD EARLY THIS MORNING. EMOGAL HAS SAID THE NEWS TO BE FALSE, BUT AN INSIDER HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE NEWS IS TRUE. =========Sasha DavenportPOV“What is your plan?” my mother asks throwing yet another newspaper in front of me.I sigh. Since the news broke about Dean barging into Blake’s office shouting at Dianna the rest of us have been laying low.If they’re recording our every move, we need to make sure we don’t get caught up in their games.Of all my brother’s I was by far better suited to be CEO, I was more fit than Blake was to run the company, many of the board members were on my side. Blake has been running the company for years, but he never actually took an interest in the company. He had people running the company for him. It pissed many shareholders off.I
