Chapter 39 She narrows her eyes but doesn’t say anything… I don’t know how long we sat in silence before she spoke up.“You blame yourself for her getting pregnant or you blame yourself for not waking up in time to save her?” she asks.I squirm in my seat. I nod, I couldn’t get any words out, my throat felt thick, and I couldn’t get a word out.“I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s not your fault. Have you paid a visit to Rene’s parents? Do they blame you?” she asks.I bite my lip. “I haven’t seen them since the last memorial service.” I tell her honestly.She nods back to writing in that damn book. “And your girlfriend? How does she feel being put on the sidelines?” she asks.I look away. “I don’t know what Julliet is to me. but right now, she hates me. I made her hate me. So, she never loves me…”“And how did you do that? Did you say something or do something to anger her so she would lessen your guilt?” she asks.I look at her, nodding. That’s exactly what I did.“Well, tha

“And you? why haven’t you dated?” I ask him.He scrunches up his face. “Because I’ve seen how women mistreat children when they’re not their own. I didn’t want to risk a woman hurting my son when I wasn’t around.” He says.I nod in understanding. “I get what you mean. People mistreat their own children sometimes…” I couldn’t hide the bitterness in my voice.He looks at me, but he doesn’t ask. I’m grateful.“My father favored sons to daughters. He believed having a daughter was a weakness. My brother was the heir to his empire. Didn’t want anything to do with my father. My father had four other sons from other women, and he made them all fight for the company. Only to give it to the son who didn’t want it after he died. One of his sons I’m close to because he wanted nothing to do with my father and his mother was my mother’s best friend. The other three are still scheming behind the scenes to steal from my brother.” I explain.Garret frowns and shakes his head. “It’s always the perfect

Chapter 42Blake DavenportPOVWith everything happening at the office I was late to get home. It was passed two in the morning. Throwing my keys in the tray by the door. I lock up the house. Today was one of the busiest days of my life.I was in board meeting after board meeting, then meeting with our staff, having to form a statement to release, helping Aiden with the funeral arrangements and the memorial for the staff.At around ten Aiden’s half brother decided he wanted the CEO position calling a man board meeting.I make my way up the stairs.When I enter my bedroom, I’m surprised to see Julliet’s missing.She must be sleeping in her own bedroom. I did tell her I wasn’t going to make it home tonight, but Aiden called it a night around twelve in case Julliet needed me.I didn’t think she’d go back to her own room. I thought my bed was more comfortable. That’s what she said.Oh well.I shrug off my blazer throwing it on the bed, ripping off my tie throwing it on the bed.Placing my

Chapter 44One week later.Dianna DavenportPOVI was rundown and beat. I’d spent the entire night staring at my phone. Over the past week Garret and I’ve been taking our relationship to the next level and that meant meeting family. last night he told me wanted me to come to his son’s game tonight so I could meet Grayson. I’ve never met a man’s son before.I do know Grayson set us put, but we’ve never met he could change his mind about liking me, since he knew nothing about me. It’s a Friday night, I didn’t expect them to play at night. What does one where to a school hockey game? I’ve never been much of a sports fan, so I have no idea what to wear to them.After an hour on google, I decide on a white tank top and a dark blue skinny jean with a pair of chunky beige heeled boots and a thick beige coat. When I was ready, I felt exhausted. Taking a few pictures for my Instagram I was ready to go.To add the pressure Garret told me I was meeting his ex-wife Sarah and her husband.I’d neve

As soon we landed, I was out of the plane and luckily my driver was there waiting for me.Alfonso’s car was waiting for him as well.When I got into the car my assistant Grace was waiting for me. She brief’s me on what I missed, and we get some work done on the drive to Samantha’s house.Now that I’m thinking about it, I really should move her out of that place. Now that Aaron was messing with my work now.“I received a call from a Miss Benson, she claims to have spoken to you. I wasn’t sure if you have spoken to her, I told her I’d get back to her.” Grace Quin has been my assistant four at least ten years now, she was an intern when she started as my assistant, and I was still learning the ropes from my mother.“I spoke to her; Alfonso will be emailing her as soon as he’s home.” I hoped he’d remember.I take out my phone to send him a text to remind him.That reminds me Benson had sent me a text. I open it.{Chloe Benson:I don’t like being used for personal vendettas thank you for t
