Chapter 24
Jo’s POV
The Moon is lighting the room and I am trying to look down and hide my face so Alex doesn’t see me crying.
I have this feeling in my stomach telling me he is going to leave now. I think this time it’s going to be harder for me to recover.
“Come here“ Alex said laying down on my bed and I do as I am told. I lay down next to him and he turns to face me. His hand goes straight to my face and wipes my tears not saying anything. I wonder how he knew that I was crying.
“ What were you thinking earlier?” Alex asked me while his hand continues to caress my face. “Don’t lie. I don’t like it when I am lied”
“ Honestly, I was thinking about you” I said smiling. “Me? What about me?” he asked me curiously

The Butterfly Effect Chapter 25
Jo’s POV The sound of the waves woke me up. I can feel the sunlight caressing my face. I stretched out to Alex side of bed to find it empty and cold. I finally opened my eyes to check the time and it’s late. I have to pack my bag, today we’re going home. I wonder if I could go back in time and choose the perfect moment of my life and never come back. That would be last night making love moment. It’s stupid I know but I can’t stop myself from smiling. Last night was amazing, I put my love in every kiss, in every touch and I think Alex did the same. I curled in bed with his pillow in my arms, his scent is lingering on itand I still have his taste on my lips. Today I don’t want to go home.

Jo’s POV “Good morning, Miss Jackson”, Lily greeted me as soon as I stepped out of the elevator. “Good morning, Lily? How was your mini vacation? “ I asked her smiling. “It was nice” she answered me blushing thinking probably about her weekend. “ Did you get a chance to make the modifications I asked? I quizzed her in a neutral tone. “ I wasn’t able to reach anyone Saturday or yesterday, every one was already gone because of the Holiday. I am sorry “ she told me regretful. “ But don’t worry I’m on top of it. “ I smiled at her and walk to my office. Three days without work I sure have a lot to do. I opened the door and a single wh
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 27
Jo’s POV I got to the City Court ten minutes before my meeting with judge Quinn. I am trying to look confident but my anxiety is acting up. As I stepped outside the elevator, my heart skipped a beat, this iswhere everything started. With just a simple smile, Alex marked my heart. I smiled for a second thinking about him, how I wish he could hold me even for a second. There are many people rushing along the hallway and I hope my wish becomes reality. Poor heart, Alex marked it as his the eternity. I entered the restroom so I can have my ritual. Washing my hands really calms my nerves. I smiled at the blonde in the mirror as I fixed my clothes. I look professional with my hair tight in a bun. I wear black high waist w
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 28
Jo’s POV I am still processing the Judge Quinn last words. My hands are shaking terribly and I have a pit in my stomach. I finally let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “You are a Smart Cookie, Miss Jackson I keep hearing the Judge words in my head could Damien be his son? I wonder internally. I thought Damien last name was Brown and Matt wrote the contract. I shook my head and try to clear my mind when another line doesn’t give me peace “You must’ve impressed Him”. I opened the folder with the new contract and I sign it quickly. At least I’ve got what I came for. I exit the room using the door, the Judge pointed earlier to find myself in the secretary office. Before I say anything the lady looks at me with a

Jo’s POV “Sweetheart, you look tired” Alex said kissing the back of my palm. “What’s going on?” He asked me softly. “ I am fine. I just can’t believe you’re here” I mumbled not looking at him. I can’t look at him, I feel like I am dreaming and I don’t want to wake up. I wished all day to see him to have his arms around me and now he is finally here. My heart is happy. “Of course I am here” he said kissing me softly. I am sorry, I wanted to be here sooner but I got stuck in the middle of a trial. Are you hungry, let’s order something” he said before waiving at the waitress. “How was the meeting with Judge Quinn?” Alex said curiously. “You just go ahead and order if you want something, I had lunch with Judge Quinn” I said and Alex looked at me surprised. “It was the only time he was

Jo’s POV “Hey, are you feeling okay?” a masculine voice made me open my eyes. “Yeah, I am fine” I said wiping my tears and trying to smile. “You don’t look fine to me, are you sure everything is okay?” He said smiling. I nodtaking a deep breath “Yeah I am okay, just a long day “ I replied forcing myself to smile. “I am Carter. Do you work around here or do you want me to drive you somewhere? Carter asked me curiously pointing to his black Corvette. “No, that’s okay, I have my car parked across the street” I told him softly. Probably women go wild when they see his new expensive car. “You have your car parked at the City Court?” Carter asked me surp
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 31
Jo’s POV It’s been three days since Alex walked away from me in the coffee shop and I met Carter. By the time I got to the office Tuesday, all my ideas of making Alex jealous, seemed immature and I am not that type of person. I don’t know how to play dirty. I don’t know how to make myself available and flirt shamelessly. I never called him Carter either, I just buried myself in work, that’s what I know that’s where I shine. Work, work, work it’s my mantra. I sighed for the nth time. That’s my life. Today all four attorney companies are going to interview my senior accountants and choose the perfect people who are going to work with. Everything was planned and prepared until the last detail for today, nothing was left out. “Jo, everything
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 32
Jo’s POV I took a deep breath and instead of closing the door I just went straight inside. Both Alex and the redhead, who was in his arms kissing the life out of him, got surprised of my boldness. I can see an amused sparkle in his eyes. Alex was leaning towards his desk with his white shirt unbuttoned, while the curly redhead was in her black lace underwear while her clothes are scattered around the floor. “ Get dressed and get out” I said with a stern voice to the redhead who was looking at me annoyed. “I said GET DRESSED AND GET OUT “ I barked at her. She looked at Alex, who nodded his head, approving my command. A smile appeared for a second on his face while the woman grabbed her clothes and started dressing. I could see Alex’s eyes c
