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
Chapter 84Blake DavenportPOVA phone call on my phone woke me from my sleep.Derek. He better have a damn good reason for waking me this god damn early."What?" I ask softly not wanting to wake Julliet.I slowly turn and get out of bed, the last thing I want is to wake her.“So, I’ve been looking into your brothers. I’ve found something. Raide has been buying stocks and talking to the board without Sasha knowing. He has a new girlfriend who’s been encouraging him to take the company out from under Sasha without him knowing. Must say your family drama is better than any soap opera Scara makes me watch." He says, I could hear the amusement in his voice."So what? They’re working against one another?” I ask closing the door behind me."Yes. Do you want me to send a tip to Sasha to have them fight it out?" I ask.I make my way down the stairs to the kitchen. I needed coffee. It was too early for this. "No, I’m calling a board meeting later. Invite those all three of them.” I tell him."
Chapter 85Dianna DavenportPOVToday’s events had my nerves bundled in a bunch I wanted nothing more than to be at home filming a video. This sneaking around and doing things behind people’s backs isn’t meant for me.I did have a little laugh with Blake sneaking into the building. I was grateful to Garret for taking the day off to be here with me holding my hand.When we get to Blake’s office, we all sit in silence before Blake’s assistants and the CEO walks in.Today’s the day Sasha and Raide makes their move and tries to take me off my chairman seat, they might not know this, but it will be hilarious to see their faces when they realize I was never in that seat in the first place. I’ve never been more grateful to Blake for keeping me out of this life when he took over my father’s position."Miss Davenport it’s time, the board’s waiting for you downstairs.” Blake’s assistant says.I nod Garret and I walk out of Blake’s office hand in hand.The two assistants lead us to the boardroom
Chapter 86Blake DavenportPOVAs I’m walking out of the elevator and to the garage parking Sasha’s there waiting for me.“I thought you would have left by now…” I comment shrugging off my blazer and opening my car door, I throw it in the back."I must say I’m impressed. I didn’t even realize I was getting played.” He says.“Do you think I’d let you off scot-free after approaching Julliet?” I ask him turning to face him.He shakes his head. “I admit I lost to fair and square…” he says."You know all that sneaking about, you could have started your own company and stayed out of mine. You were trying to steal from me. For years I let you be, but I have a family to protect now, and I won’t you off anymore." I tell him."Blake doesn’t matter what happens between us I’m still your brother and I deserve a part of this company." He says looking at the sign on the wall.I follow his eyes before I look back at him. “My mother only gave birth to one son and that’s me. This company was built by
