Alex’s POV
“You get out” I growled at Ashley who was half naked laying on my couch.
“But Alex”, she said pouting her lips.
“I said Get out.” I was annoyed, hurt and I didn’t care about her. “Kat if you don’t see Ashley coming out in two minutes please call security to throw her out” I told Kat while I was leaving my office.
I had to go so I don’t do anything stupid. I was nervous at Kat because she didn’t stopped Jo, I was upset at Ashley because she turned me on, but I think the person I was most angry at it was me. I was so weak and stupid.
When I got back to my office I saw a file placed on my desk. I was about to open it when Kat came in and placed a small box with a card on my desk.
Alex’s POV“Are you ready?” Kat asked me concerned after seeing me all nervous.“Do you think she is going to come?” I said bluntly. “ Alex, you know She is not coming, but that’s okay. You know why?” She asked me and I shook my head. “ You are going to win the case and make her proud.“What if I lost her for good” I looked at her defeated. “I don’t think that’s the case, she might be lost her faith in you, but I am sure she still loves you. You need to step up your game and make her trust you” she continued and I agreed. “I am sure she is going to watch the press conference so that’s your chance. That’s the first step to show her that you have feelings for her&rdq
Jo’s POVI decided to go home earlier that I told Lily. Seeing Alex at the press conference made me realize that it doesn’t matter how much I am trying to hide and how much he hurt me, my heart still beats for him.Last night when I called her and asked her to be Alex shadow, in case he might need JJ Consulting, she asked me why I am not coming back. I told her I was still in love with him and I couldn’t handle seeing him after so long on something so important like the press conference. She seemed to understand me but she made me promise to come back to the city and take it slow.As I entered my apartment my heart skipped a beat. Every corner in here reminds me of Alex. I wiped my tears and went to the bedroom. Every trace of him has been erased but not the memories…I don’t know how I will let him go, but I have to. It’s for the best.&ldquo
Alex’s POV “Please, Alex, let me go” Jo said before she ran away from my arms. I was standing there incapable of saying something. Kat was right she didn’t trusted me anymore“If you like me just a little bit please let me go…”. I thought I would win her back but she pleaded to let her go. I wanted to tell her that She was the only one I wanted, but she didn’t let me. I thought I made her insecurities go away but I was wrong. She was still doubting me, doubting the reasons that brought us together. For the first time in my life I felt heartbroken. “Alex, come.” Alexandra said grabbing my arm.“Lexi, I lost her” I whispered out. “I lost her for good”
Jo’s POV I was in my office looking at the sky. I could never get enough of this view. It’s like I can walk between the clouds, able to touch them. I feel so powerful and yet so weak…I have everything I could possibly want yet I don’t have him.A knock on the door brought me back from whatever I was dreaming.“Jo, you got a package” Lily said placing a small box on top of my desk, “and don’t forget you have a massage appointment at 6” she continued with a smirk.“It has no sender name” I voice out “Do we know who sent it?” I added curiously.“Actually, No. It was left at the entrance for you.” Lily replied soft
Jo’s POV“Hey, I thought you’re going to stood me up” Carter said smiling when I got close to him. His eyes quickly roamed around my body checking out my outfit. A smirk appeared on his face when he saw the slit of my dress.Carter looked handsome dressed in a white button down shirt and a pair of black slacks. His hair and stubble were perfectly trimmed and styled ready to impress me.“I am sorry, something came up at work” I replied making my puppy eyes asking for forgiveness. “I hope I didn’t make you wait to long” I added fluttering my eyelashes.“No worries” Carter smiled softly showing his perfect pearly teeth before he bend down to kiss my cheek. “You’re here, now. Let’s go inside” Carter said softly before
Jo’s POV“You don’t like Alex to much, do you?” I asked curiously.“Is it that obvious?” Carter replied made me laugh. “Kind of… yeah” I answered smiling. “Can I ask you why, I mean I know it’s not my business..” I said trying to hide my curiosity.After looking at me for a moment, Carter shrugged his shoulders. “Alex and I, know each other since middle school. We were always into the same things, like photography, cars, basketball, law school, we even liked the same girls.” Carter said smiling. “So to get whatever we wanted, we had to compete against each other.” Carter added softly.“So why are you guys not friends, I mean since you have so much in common” I as
Jo’s POV I kept pacing back and forth like a mad person. I can’t believe this was happening. “God, Please don’t let him die” I said for a hundred time tonight. “I know I have no right to ask, but please God, I can’t live without him” I whispered wiping my tears. I sighed for the nth time tonight looking towards the Operating Room. “I love him, God, don’t take him away from me”. I continued again pacing the corridor waiting for news. “Jo, any news?” I heard Damien asking me and all I could do was shook my head. I have no words, only tears and prayers. Me and God we don’t get along. After loosing the pregnancies I stopped believing, I gave up. Right now I feel like Alex needs all the help he can get. Maybe him and God have a good relation. “He is st
Jo’s POVIt’s been more then 6 hours since Alex was rushed to the OR and we still haven’t heard anything. Everyone is here, exhausted, saying their prayers for Alex.I looked around the waiting room trying to distract my mind. The room is getting crowded with people waiting for news, hoping for the best.I pushed back slowly, Lexi’s head from my lap, while I am trying to stand up. She fell asleep while I was brushing her hair. I took off my sweater and used it as a blanket to cover her bump. She smiled feeling the warm sweater. I looked again to make sure she was comfortable and still asleep. It was important to keep her calm in her condition. I didn’t want the stress to affect the baby.I looked towards Alex’s Mom and I can’t believe she hugged me. Mr Montgomery was holding her in his arms tryin
