Chapter 54
Alex’s POV
I 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.”
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 57
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.

Jo’s POVMy heart skipped a beat when I saw him. I missed him so much. Too much time has passed since we've been together and we both changed.Handsome as always he was carrying himself as a god. Dressed in his black suit with his black hair styled perfectly Alex looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time. In a way it actually was. Meeting him changed my life. I was weak but he made me strong, he made me realize that I am the only one in charge of my life.“Hey” I heard him saying taking me all in. I can see everything in his eyes, love, admiration, fear..“Hey stranger” I replied smiling. He bent to kiss me and I could feel those butterflies dancing in my stomach. It’s been long, way too long.“Josephine” my mom voiced
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 59
Jo’s POVWe walked together downstairs holding hands. Damien gave me a questioning look and I blushed instantly. Did he know what Alex was planning?“Josephine” I heard my grandmother's voice calling me.“Grandma, Grandpa you guys made it. I am so happy you’re here. “I told them, smiling pecking their cheeks.“Josie, of course we are here. We couldn’t miss it. I am so proud of you.. we both are” my grandpa told me as I was trying to fight the tears.“I love what you did with the cellars and with the mansion. I can’t wait to have a tour.` My grandmother was excited to check the surroundings.

Jo’s POV“Josephine, can we have a word?” my dad’s voice echoed behind me. I clenched my fists knowing this “talks” never end well and he will probably say something to annoy me.“I am here” Alex whispered, squeezing lightly my hand and I nodded. He always knew how to calm down my nerves.“Sure. We can talk in the office” I told my parents as I turned on my heels heading to my grandpa's old library room, which now serves as my office. I did minor work to update the room, but most of it still has grandpa print. Every time I go there it’s like I am going back to my childhood, where I was happy.I sighed because I know what’s going to happen next, I have been here a thousand times before. My paren

Jo’s POV “Finally” I said, relieved to enter my room and remove my jacket. “My feet were killing me” I continued sitting down on my bed “Are you okay?” Alex uttered, bending down, removing my heels. He looked worried so I smiled trying not to think about my parents anymore. “Hmm mmm” I hummed relaxing under his touch. His hands were rubbing slowly my feet taking away the pain. “What happened earlier? I saw you talking with your parents” Alex asked me again. “Nothing, really. My parents apologized, they want us to be a family” I replied shrugging my shoulders. “How do you feel about that?” Alex’s eyes searched mine trying to figure out what was happening in my mind. “I don’t know,” I replied, exhausted, layi
The Butterfly Effect Chapter 62
Jo’s POV“Hey, it’s me. Come to Alex’s office. I’ll be there in 5”. I said without waiting for a reply. I looked up to see the skyrocketing building in front of me and I swallowed the lump formed in my throat. Every time I came announced, Alex was not alone. Every single time. I stepped inside the elevator and I could feel my heart skipping a beat.This last week was perfect. The wine party was a success and everyone who came high class, movie stars, singers, press enjoyed the wine. We ended up calling it “The Butterfly from Jackson vineyards” Alex was supportive, caring and everything I wanted. I sighed before entering Kat’s office and I saw her looking up surprised to see me.“Jo, so nice to see you. I heard the wine party was a hit, congrats” Kat said smiling.
