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
Jo’s POVThe ding coming from my phone made Christine twitch her nose disgusted. I pulled out the phone not moving my eyes from her. She rolled her eyes annoyed before I moved away to check the message I had received. This was definitely not over.“Jo. Save the video I just sent, gold star is in effect. When your done touch your wedding ring. Time is sensitive. We are watching. Your car was “handled”, so be careful. You got eyes on you. 5 o’clock purple strands and orange/ black sweater 7 o’clock. For what’s going to happen next Be PROFESSIONAL. Oh and Jo, Don’t smile! We are watching!! db. Now get to work. Hurry up.”My heart skipped a beat reading Jonathan’s message. Gold star was the name of a game we used to play in hig
Alex’s POVI really tried to make Jo listen to me. I really wanted to ask her for another chance. The pain I saw in her eyes when she slapped me, made me realize she will never forgive me. It didn’t matter how much I tried. I could feel that she still had feelings for me, but being with me was to much for her so, for the last time I decided to let her go.I closed the restroom door behind me with a thud. I was hurt too, my stupidity hurt us both.I was surprised when my phone vibrated on my back pocket. I pulled it out wondering who was it. This days I don’t have many people reaching out to me.I got surprised seeing Jonathan name on the screen. Jonathan was Jo’s friend and worked with her at JJ Consulting as Software Engineer. He was the brain behind the technology JJ wa
Alex’s POV After parking the car in Jo’s usual spot, I got out rushing to the entrance.“Good, you are here” Jonathan greeted me relieved. “Follow me” he continued turning his back and disappearing inside the building. My body followed him silently, still not knowing if I should trust him or not.“You want a coffee or something stronger? Not every night someone is out to get you!” Jonathan asked me while he stopped in front of what looked like a kitchen. His comment made me smile. Jonathan was right and for a second I completely forgot what a completely mess my life was.“ Sure something strong sounds good” I said softly.Jonathan pulled out a whiskey bottle from one of the drawers, and filled out quickly two shot glasses.
Alex’s POV “ Someone is tailing Jo, since she left the house” Jonathan told me suddenly brushing his hair nervously. “She shouldn’t have called you. She drew to much attention to herself. I was wrong to assume they stopped following her.“What’s the plan?” I asked him tired of not knowing. “I told you already that someone handled your breaks, we were lucky enough to find out before anything bad happened. Knowing this we went ahead and staged your accident. Right now, it’s all over the news that you were badly injured.” Jonathan said shortly. “Central intelligence managed to get the guy who messed up your car and right now he is being questioned by my friend, we hope soon we have some prove so we can decide how we are going to proceed next.”
Alex’s POV Today it’s going to be an awesome day. That’s because I can finally see her and hold her in my arms. It’s been a rough month for both of us. I had to pretend to be in a coma, while my parents waited night and day at the hospital patiently for the news that everything was good and I was safe. I remember the look on my mom and dad when they entered the room and they saw I was okay. It took more than a moment to realize what was going on. ***FLASHBACK “Alex” my mom squealed when she saw me in the middle of the room unharmed. “Mom, Dad please stop crying, I am fine” I told them wiping my mom’s face. “I love you mom, please stop crying” I whispered, not being able to believe how much her tears were affecting me.
