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.
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
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
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.
Jo’s POV Two days have passed since I received the subpoena stating that I was a witness in an ongoing investigation on Alex Montgomery. After going to Alex’s office I told him that it was best not to see each other until we figured out what the investigation was about. At first Alex didn’t agree but he knew this was for the best. You can fight something you have no information about. This morning Damien called me and told me that some Court Officials came to Alex’s apartment and escorted to the City Court where the investigation took place. So here I was, checking my wristwatch while walking on the City Court hallways. I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves. I already know what I have to do. I went to the restroom and washed my hands thoroughly like I always do, going through the plan I have in my head ma
