Chapter 12 Third Person POV Julliet unaware of what’s approaching happily hums Taylor Swifts song that’s stuck in her head. Four men surround the three men knocking them out before they could even make a noise. Dragging them and the weapons they’ve brought away before Julliet could see. The leader calls Blake. “Sir a couple of thugs were about to attack Miss Harvey in the parking lot we’ve neutralized them.” He reports. “Find out who’s behind this.” Blake says before hanging up the call. The four get the men in their van before taking them back to base for questioning. ============== Storm Mason POV Paige and I’ve been together before I joined the entertainment industry before I became a model and started acting in minor roles in movies. We’ve never been apart where I was, she was too. Shooting this movie in the damn desert has been hell. Paige works at the Entertainment company I belong to, being a public relations manager, she barely has any free time. most of the time
Chapter 13Blake DavenportPOVToday Julliet had a fashion show scheduled for one of the fashion houses I owned. I never really paid attention to the models that were hired. I owned the place, but I wasn’t the CEO. I enjoyed my real job, the only reason I took over the fashion houses was because it belonged to my mother and my father couldn’t give to shits about what happened to it.I looked around the room I was in. The entire room’s walls were filled with pictures of Rene and I, pictures we took through our entire relationship. The bed in the room is the bed we shared when we got married. The rocking chair she bought when she found out she was pregnant.I missed my wife; I missed waking up next to her. I missed holding her in my arms after a bad day at the office. I missed her kind blue eyes and the way her dark hair would always be in my face when I woke up in the morning.Julliet was pregnant with my child and all I could think about was how I was stepping on Rene’s grave. How I w
Chapter 14Blake DavenportPOVI run my fingers through my hair. This was the last thing I expected. Skylor would hurt another woman for being with me? she’s been begging me to move on for years and when I do, she has thugs attack Julliet?Sitting across from her I have no idea how to approach the situation. How do I bring it up? Do I just come out asking her?“I see you finally remember me as your sister…” she smiles brightly.I sigh the coffee was empty. But I did that on purpose. I hired out the place so no one could listen in on our conversation.“I know I’ve been a little busier than usual. But there’s something I want to speak to you about…”She smiles brightly. “Okay? I wanted to talk to you about something as well. You know how I have a degree in administration that I haven’t been using. Why don’t I join your company so we can see each other even when you’re busy. I could be your assistant…” she suggests excitedly.I flinch. “I don’t own the magazine, Skylor; I can’t hire you.
Chapter 15Skylor BassettPOVWhen Blake left me yesterday alone in the coffee shop, I did a lot of thinking. I wasn’t going to let her steal him. I just would be more careful this time.Since she places a mask on when she’s with Blake I’m going to let him see the real her.With that in mind, I call a number I haven’t called since Rene died.“Well, isn’t this a surprise…” Denver a good friend of mine answers.“I have a story for you…” I say as I watch Blake walk into the doctor’s office.I’d like to see how Julliet would react to the paparazzi finding out she’s pregnant.“I’m all ears…”A smile breaks out on my face… “Ever heard of Julliet Harvey?”===========Julliet HarveyPOVTwins? Who would have thought? Twins? I was in a daze while I listened to Blake ask the most outrageous questions I’ve ever heard.“So, since it’s twins does that mean the babies are coming on the due date or before? Or after?” Blake asks.“Well normally with twins they come a little earlier, but you’d normall
Chapter 16 Blake DavenportPOVI was fuming. No, I was more than that I was so fucking pissed off right now. I want nothing more than to shoot whoever sold that story to die a miserable death… That’s all I could think of as I was driving to my boss’s private villa.I was genuinely so fucking pissed off I was seeing red. Someone had leaked Julliet’s pregnancy. Something we were still coming to terms with. Twisting the narrative so Julliet’s the bad guy. She nearly fucking fell. She could have hurt selfish so badly and hurt the babies, but they didn’t care.As I pulled up in front of his house, the butler walked out, and I get out of the car.He greets me before getting into my car and drive off to park it…I walk into the house. Aiden Robinson, my boss, is waiting for me. Aiden, Craig, and I went to college together. When he took over for his father, he offered me a job at his company. He knew I didn’t want to work for my father, so I took the job.At the same time, he knew I love wri

Chapter 18 Third PersonPOVJulliet smiles as she looks around the house, Blake left for work not long after she got here, he gave her a brief tour of the house before rushing off to work.It was time for her to explore. She made her way around the house. She’d stepped into Blake’s office, everything was neat and tidy, not a speck of dust or a book out of place. It was hard to believe how tidy it was. She walked out of the office without touching anything. She opened the next door. A bedroom with nothing but a bed in it. How sad.She closed the door and made her way in the next room. When she tried to open the door, she discovered the door was locked. It must be Blake’s room she concluded. She made her way downstairs and ate the breakfast Blake made her.She settled on the safe with her laptop. She needed to do some research on how to start a modelling agency. When she looked again it was dark out. She stretched out and made her way up the stairs she wanted to have a shower before ma
Chapter 19Samantha JamesonPOVToday was one of those days, everything went entirely too slow for my liking. Even dropping Harry at my parents’ house all my mother did was talk and talk. My father nagging me about when I’ll leave Aaron. Harry wanted all of her toys she hasn’t played with for over a year. So here I am rushing to get back to the house so I could get her stuffed animal and drop it off with my parents. I was planning on meeting a couple of friends for drinks tonight. I needed a night out, Aaron’s been on my case, he wants to start trying for another baby. I’m not ready for us to have another child. I didn’t even know if I wanted to be with him forever.I’ve been trying to call Aaron to drop the darn stuffed bunny, but he hasn’t been answering my calls, so I assume he’s not home. To be honest I’ve become numb to all the things Aaron has done. I just want Harry to grow up with both of her parents involved in her life. Her happiness is more important than my own.Seeing Aar
EpilogueFour months later…The hospital…Blake Davenport POVI clench my fists as my friends, and I wait in the waiting room. They all dropped everything and rushed over to be here for the birth of my daughter.We’ve already decided on a name for my little girl. Her name was Avery Marie Davenport. She’s named after the woman who birthed me. It was actually Julliet’s idea.They’re busy prepping Julliet for surgery. They’re going to perform an emergency c-section. With Avery being breeched. I won’t lie and say I’m doing great. I’m freaking out. I’m losing my fucking mind the longer they take to tell me what’s going on. Julliet decided in a split second she didn’t want me with during the c-section, she knew I was freaking out and she feared I’d make her nervous, she asked Kendell to be in the room with her. I’m terrified. I’m so fucking scared of losing either of them.“Blake they’re going to be okay…” Craig tries to comfort me.I nod. I prayed she would be.“Remember Sam had a c-secti
Chapter 114Dianna VanderbiltPOVToday is finally the day for my twelve-week check-up. No one was more surprised than I was that we were pregnant again. I’ve found out pretty early on.I was like three weeks pregnant when I found out. Being pregnant with Julliet again is the weirdest thing ever.Blake and Julliet invited all of us to their house for dinner so after my appointment we head over to my brother’s place.We haven’t told anyone I was pregnant. We didn’t think we should tell anyone just yet.I wasn’t even showing yet. We were going to wait until after our appointment.The safe period and what not. The drive to the doctor’s office was more nerve-wrecking that I thought it would be.Grayson and Grace were at school. When I thought Grayson was a giant at eleven. I didn’t expect him to be so big he makes me look like a little child. With a beard and a deeper voice, I honestly can’t tell the difference between him and Garret now.I tie my hair in a messy bun. I was dressed very r
Chapter 107A week later Julliet HarveyPOVPaige and Storm were away for work and left their kids with me. And with Blake being in New York with Aiden, he has been gone for a week. He’d just got back but Aiden needed him so that very night he’d gotten back he had to leave. Our night was so uneventful. We had gotten engaged and then five seconds later he had to leave. He returns home at night... I'm so excited to see my fiancé...I was sitting in our living room; the kids were upstairs for a nap. We had to get a nanny to help with the five children.With our soon to be four children, this was educational and to be honest it was freaking me out a little.When I was young, so damn young, I was corrupted by the wrong side. That’s the best way to put it. I’ve done so many wrong things in my life. yet God still blessed me with a fiancé who loves me, three amazing children and one on the way.When I tell people I’m blessed I mean it. I’ve never really been one for religion but after everyt
Chapter 106Paige HarveyPOVThe past 5 years I have gone to therapy. We have a beautiful daughter Calista who looks identical to her father and a son Godfrey who I belief looks identical to my father.Therapy has helped me deal with my father’s sudden death. I was barely coping. But Storm forced me to. Not just for me but for our daughter since I was pregnant at the time.He feared I would lose the baby or hurt myself.After therapy, our marriage has become stronger in a way, I don’t know how to describe it. It helped me realize just how much he meant to me.There were so many things about Godfrey that reminded me of my father, the way he smiled. How his eyes would sparkle when he saw something he liked. I feel like my father blessed us with him.After Godfrey was born, my mother decided it would be best to travel, she felt trapped in the house filled with memories of my father. She wanted to be free of them.My mother has been struggling and when she travels, she feels so much bette
Chapter 105One week later.Blake DavenportPOVI just got back from Florida. I helped Rene’s parents plan Skylor’s funeral. They took her death better than I expected they would.I was expecting the worst. But they just wanted to get the funeral over and done with. I couldn’t blame them. I would too if I was them.I run my fingers through my hair. I feel terrible. I was so close to proposing to Julliet. I was moving on with my life while they had to mourn their daughters.The kindest people I know. They didn’t deserve the hand given to them. Their one daughter was a complete angel who cared for everyone and everything. Whereas their youngest daughter, jealous of her older sister tried to kill her sister. She actually did kill Rene. She was the fucking devil.I can’t believe I’d fallen for the innocent act. She played not only me, but her own family as well.I treated her better than I did my own sister, because she meant to so much to Rene.I pull at my hair.I stopped by Rene’s grav
Chapter 104Blake DavenportPOVAfter I got the girls showered and in fresh clothes, I spoke to them about what happened. I was thinking about getting a therapist, I didn’t know if the girls were traumatized or not.They seemed fine but I didn’t want to risk it. The only thing they were upset was when their mother was accused of being a bad mother. I just hope the girls forget about that.I don’t want Julliet finding out about it.She’ll feel terrible. And she doesn’t look great now. I could see this pregnancy was taking all of her energy. I didn’t even tell her in the next week we’d be moving.There’s so much that needs to be done.And I haven’t even spoken to her yet.One thing I was sure about was I wanted Julliet to be my wife before our next baby is born.I’d found out she was pregnant this morning and now I’m already imagining what my son would look like. How our life will be in the future.My son… I smile… I didn’t even know the gender of the baby yet and I was already thinking
Chapter 103Julliet HarveyPOVMy girls were on their way home. I clenched my fists. I was so excited to see them.I wanted nothing more than to be in our home with all three of our children. I didn’t want to be with all out friends right now. I love them, I really do, but I wanted a moment with my children and my boyfriend.Do I still feel envy when I look at my friends and their marriages? God yes. I couldn’t help myself.They have been married for years now, Blake and I met first, we’ve been together the longest. Except for Paige and Storm. We’ve been together the longest.Blake and I both carry so much more baggage than the rest of friends. I’ll never be able to live up to Blake’s former wife. I’ll never be good enough to be his wife.We might have a family together but I’m fooling myself if I think I’ll be happy being his girlfriend for the rest of my life.What was wrong with me? Why was I thinking about this now."How are you feeling now?" Dianna asks.I look up at her. Dianna
Chapter 102An hour earlierJulliet HarveyPOVI’m sitting on the guest bathroom floor in Paige’s house. I’ve been in this bathroom since I’ve come over. This pregnancy is really so much worse than my last two.Was I being punished by the Heavens?I think the toilet has become my newest best friend.The tiles on the floor are actually helping the nausea somewhat. Though I still feel like this baby is trying to kill me by having my throw up all my insides.God, I feel sick and the more I worry for the girls the more I want to throw up. My girls are missing, and I can’t even get myself off the floor.Oh God make it stop.This pregnancy has come out of nowhere. I honestly didn’t expect it. I’d been feeling off for over two months now, but I excused it as stress, over thinking and we’ll everything else. I did want at least four children, but I was thinking about bringing it up with Blake at least a year from now. I wanted the kids to be a little older.With Maddox and the girls being so c
Chapter 101Justin BrandfordPOVThis was going to shit; I could feel it in my bones. We were supposed to only take one of the girls. Who would have thought they would look like that bastard and no Julliet.We’re supposed to ask for ransom money, but I don’t want the money anymore. I want to kill all three of these girls. I hate Paige just as much as I hate Blake. Their child doesn’t deserve to live just as much as these two don’t. Sky is attached to the girls and want to raise Blake’s children with him. Our unlikely partnership came from mutual interest. Yet now I don’t want anything to do with the sick bitch. She’s been with them for over an hour trying to convince them Julliet’s a terrible woman and that she’s going to be their new mommy. The bitch is crazy even for me.Blake already paralyzed half of my body. I walk with a fucking limp, and I don’t have feeling in my arm anymore.============Blake DavenportPOV“Blake let me drive…” Craig suggests.I just nod.On the drive ov
