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
Chapter 81Blake DavenportPOVI shake my head. Dianna was insane. That’s the only reason she’d be defending this man.“Blake if you’ll just listen to me…” she tries to speak to me, but I shake my head again.“I don’t want to listen to a word about what you have to say. That man wasn’t a father to me, a husband to mom. I don’t care what you have to say, it won’t anything. He’s the very reason I had to fake my death. After tomorrow that part of our lives is over.” I cut her off.She sighs sitting down. “I understand where you’re coming from, I really do, but not everything is what we thought it was. For so long I was angry. I was so angry with him, when I was a child, I used to pray for a different father for so long I held onto that resentment, but it’s not healthy Blake. I’ve chosen to forgive not for me, but for my family…” she tries again.I shake my head. “Dianna good for you. But that has nothing to do with me. if I want to hold onto my resentment then I can. I don’t care what yo
Chapter 82Blake DavenportPOVI’ve been at the funeral home all morning with Julliet and Paige. Storm and I are hanging back offering support.Mrs. Harvey has been doing all the planning for the funeral because Julliet and Paige are too distraught to even form sentences.My mother and Samantha stayed back to take care of the girls thankfully with Julliet so devastated the last thing she needs is to worry about the girls.I watch the two making sure they’re fine, even though Julliet and I aren’t married Paige is like a sister-in-law to me. I care for her.I hold Julliet’s hand and give it a quick squeeze. She looks at me and gives me a small smile.“Do you want something to eat?” I ask her.She shakes her head. She hasn’t eaten a thing since last night.I was worried about her. Because of this we’d moved back the board meeting for tomorrow morning. Right now, Julliet was more important than dealing with my half-brothers. She needed me now more than ever.=======Paige HarveyPOV“Dadd
I nod. I’ve been struggling to even think about food, but I couldn’t starve myself, I needed to take care of Calista and she needs to eat.“I don’t think I could eat anything right now…” Julliet says.“You need to eat, even if it’s just two sandwiches, even if you just do it for the girls…” he tries to persuade her.She nods. “Okay…”Blake smiles before he walks off to the café around the corner.“How’s she doing in there?” Julliet asks.“She’s good… Storm does want to go to the doctor just to make sure she’s still good…” I tell her.She nods. “It’s a good idea… Though I should warn you, it won’t be the same down there after she’s born…” she tells me.We go on to talk more about giving birth and for some reason I actually feel so much better.“Do you ever regret the choices you’ve made?” I ask her.She shakes her head. “No, if I change anything I might not have my girls and I wouldn’t trade those two for anything. I wouldn’t trade Blake for anything either. He might not love me as muc
