“So, tell me about yourself Mr. Davenport?” she asks. I don’t look up from my computer, as I log in. “What do you want to know, Miss Harvey?” I ask her. "Are you perhaps dating anyone right now?" she asks. I look up at her surprised by her question. I shake my head. "No..." it’s true I’m not dating anyone right now. Her smile brightens. “That’s good.” She tells me. I frown, “Why would that be good exactly?” I ask, I look back at the screen and see Kendell hasn’t arrived at the sight yet, I’m about to tell her when she speaks again. “So Mr. Davenport, do you find little old me attractive?” she asks me. I look at her… “What are you getting at Miss Harvey?” I ask her. “Come humor me…” she tilts her head. I sigh. “I’d be a fool not to find you attractive, though I don’t know how that’s of any pertinence to right now." I tell her. She smiles. “So what do you say Mr. Davenport, or can I call you Blake?” I ask her. I have no idea what she’s up to. I choose to ignore her. She moves closer to me. “Come on now, don’t ignore me.” she says. I look at her, a little dress that leaves little to the imagination. She’s leaning onto the desk giving me a full view of her breasts. Is she hitting on me? She is hitting on me right? “So how sturdy is this desk exactly?” she asks. I take her in, it’s been four years since I’ve so much as touched a woman sexually. Hell I can’t even tell if she’s flirting with me.

Julliet Harvey
POV
When I woke up, I was in my room I got up when I saw a note on my bedside table.
{Hey Lettie, went drinking with the guys, drive safely... See you later tonight, do not forget to keep the bed warm for me sweetheart}
I have this warm fuzzy feeling inside of me, Justin and I have been together for five years, we’ve been through so much together. We have been together since day one.
We have been through cheating scandals, gambling problems all of that, today we stand together as a unit... I am glad I stayed by his side through it all. I am glad I made sure to hold his hand when he went into rehab, when he lost all his money through gambling.
Today he owns one of the top modelling agencies, he made a name for himself, and I am so proud of him.
I take a shower and change into navy-blue tights and a white sports bra... with a pair of beige pair of Uggs... I tie my blonde hair into a bun. I leave a pair of sneakers in my car for my workouts.
I leave the house and drive over to the gym not far from my apartment.
I am in the gym for four hours, before I take a shower, and change into blue skinny jeans and a white tank top, and then change back into my Uggs. When I get to my car my phone rings.
It is Kenny, my best friend.
"Hey Kenny, what’s up?" I ask her.
"Julls I’m so sorry, I sent you pictures, I got a call from a source with these pictures, I’m so sorry. I have to do this, but if I don’t do this scoop I could be fired." Kendell Marks my best friend and a reporter.
"Kendell what’s going on?" I ask with a frown on my face.
"Justin, he cheated on you again. And in a minute, everyone will know." She tells me.
I sigh my head on the steering wheel… I guess I am not going home tonight.
"You want to meet me at a bar later?" I ask her.
"Urh, yeah sure…" she sounds unsure of how to answer.
"Thanks for the heads up, Ken, I appreciate the heads up." I say before hanging up the phone. I did not think I could say anymore.
He did this to me again. I believed he changed. Justin’s lied to me again. I slam my fists against the steering wheel. I choke out a sob.
I wipe my tears; I shake it off. I mean it this time; I’m not forgiving him this time. I drive to our apartment and pack up my things. If I am going to get over him, I am going to have to move out. I look around the place, all the pictures, the little nick naks that took me five years to collect, I’d bring something for every city I’ve visited, country I’ve modelled, I feel so bad leaving all of these things. But I need a new beginning. I need to let go of the past.
I make sure to pack all my things and then I head toward the bar, I’ll stay at a hotel tonight then I’ll look for a house for me to stay in.
I wonder if Kenny will be there by now, when I enter the bar, I see she hasn’t arrived yet.
I go straight to the bar and order me a bunch of lemon shots.

Kendell Marks
POV
I walk into the bar Jully told me to meet her, when I walk in a sigh, Julls is dancing on the bar top with a couple of other girls, she’s in a mini skirt and a tank top two sizes too small for her. I can only imagine what the headlines will be, come morning. {Julliet Harvey takes boyfriend’s cheating hard} and so and so. It is going to be a nightmare for her PR team. I should give them a heads-up.
I take out my phone and give them a heads-up.
Once I make my way over to my best friend, take her away from her new friends and pull her out of the bar, she is struggling and stumbling but that is not my concern. She has taken things for far for that asshole.
I see her car outside; I make my way to her car. Seeing her keys still in the car, I sigh shaking my head. How irresponsible of her.
I place her in the passenger seat. I couldn’t believe how she reacted after being with that cheating bastard for over five years. Justin has done nothing but cheat on her from the day they started dating. My friend is a gorgeous model, who ranks in millions a year. Yet gives the cheating bastard half of it. She funded the company he currently owns. She bought the apartment they owned. He still does not appreciate her efforts. She only stayed before she loved him, but I think that shit needs to end.
"Kenny… You came. You came… Let us go drinking…" she smiles brightly.
"You need to go home…" I frown when I see all of her things in the backseat.
"No, No go home. Let us stay here. It’s nice here." She smiles leaning on me.
I sigh and place her properly in the seat, I close the door and make my way to the driver’s side. I get in a place the sea belt on. And do the same for her.
“He did it again, can you believe it, he did it again. He cheated on me again after everything we have been through.” She mumbles to herself.
I start the car; she needs a place to stay for the night.
Parking at the Conrad.
Once we have her room, I make sure she is settled in bed. I undress her, taking off her booties and jeans. Covering her I sigh.
I sit down on the sofa and take out my MacBook. I catch up on my work when my phone rings. I see Paige’s name I want cringe.
"Yip?" I answer.
“Jesus, what was she thinking? I do not know if I can sweep this under the rug. I am good but not this good.” She starts her rant.
"She took his cheating really hard this time. But she is sleeping right now. I know she’ll feel bad in the morning, so don’t it into her okay?" I offer. Though Julliet is my best friend, Paige is her cousin and PR manager, they grew up together after Julliet’s parents died and her family took her in.
"She should know better, every time he does the same thing, and she acts exactly the same, what’s the difference now." She asks.
I look at her on the bed, honestly, I didn’t know either… “I have no idea, but she’s hurting…" I remind her. I have never seen her like this.
"She’s a public figure she has no right to be hurting in public. People are going to have her head..." she reminds me, I already knew that. Her public outburst is going to be the top headlines for a while, people are not going to want to work with her.
"I know. Why don’t you meet us here in the morning when you have a solution?" I ask her.
"Okay, send me her room number and I’ll have the team there. I’m not in LA at the moment." She says.
"What why not?" I ask.
She sighs. "Storms got a shoot, out in New York and his manager is busy so I’m out here with him instead." She explains.
“Now that’s a scoop, Paige Monroe and boyfriend Storm Mason on a week-long get away to New York.” I tease.
She bursts out laughing. “If only that was my life. Why I decided to work with stars is beyond me. I can’t even go on a date without getting a damn phone call.” She complains.

Julliet Harvey
POV
When I wake up the next morning if feels like a fucking truck load of trucks rammed into my head. Why the hell did I drink so much the previous night?
I sigh sitting up, when I look, I see Kenny passed out on the sofa. I get up and make my way across the room, there’s a fridge with water. I open it and chug it down. I can’t believe how reckless I was last night. It is nothing like me.
I make my way over to the bathroom and shower. After my shower I get dressed in black tights and a matching sports bra, I look around the room, I am at CLA?
Hmm…
I head out of the room and made my way to the fourth floor. There is a gym there. I start off with lifting weights, and then move my way over the bike. My workout today is to punish myself for drinking too much yesterday. I then make my way over to the treadmill on shaky legs. I push myself to run faster and faster. I only stop when Kendell calls.
“Pushing yourself? Is this your way for making up for having me carry you out of the bar and having to call your team to fix it?” she asks, crossing her arms.
I shrug my shoulders.
She hands me a bottle of water. “Drink.” She says.
I cringe at the thought of seeing my cousin after what I did last night.
"The team will be here in a few, I have to get ready for work, so I’ll leave them to you." She waves.
“No, no, I’m not ready to face Paige yet…” a shiver runs down my spine at the thought.
“Relax she’s in New York with Storm right now.” She tells me.
I nod. “Go get ready, you smell like a farm.” She says walking away.
I take my jelly legs over to the elevator. I sit while it goes up to my floor.
When it is on my floor, I make my way over to my room and take a quick bath, once I am done, just get into my underwear and throw a robe on me.
There is a knock on the door.
I walk over to the door and open it.
The three ladies from the team and the intern are standing there.
I open the door wider for them to come in.
"Hello ladies, why don’t you all take a seat. I need some tea. Do you need anything?" I ask them.
They shake their heads no.
I shrug my shoulders. Their loss.
I go over to the landline by the bed and wait for reception to answer…
“Good morning, Miss Harvey how may we be of service?” A woman asks.
“I’d like a cup of green tea sent to my room please.” I ask.
“Of course, ma’am it will be sent right away.”
Hang up and look at the four typing away on their laptops.
“So, what’s the plan?” I ask.
They look at me then back down at their laptops.
I frown. “Did Paige send you here to me my babysitters?” I ask.
The intern nods.
I sigh and make my way over to the bed and lay down. Why would I expect anything less from her?
“Your phone is ringing…” the intern says.
I frown sitting up. She hands me my phone. I frown when I see Justin’s name on the screen. I throw the phone across the floor. Nobody has time for that shit.
EpilogueFour months later…The hospital…Blake Davenport POVI clench my fists as my friends, and I wait in the waiting room. They all dropped everything and rushed over to be here for the birth of my daughter.We’ve already decided on a name for my little girl. Her name was Avery Marie Davenport. She’s named after the woman who birthed me. It was actually Julliet’s idea.They’re busy prepping Julliet for surgery. They’re going to perform an emergency c-section. With Avery being breeched. I won’t lie and say I’m doing great. I’m freaking out. I’m losing my fucking mind the longer they take to tell me what’s going on. Julliet decided in a split second she didn’t want me with during the c-section, she knew I was freaking out and she feared I’d make her nervous, she asked Kendell to be in the room with her. I’m terrified. I’m so fucking scared of losing either of them.“Blake they’re going to be okay…” Craig tries to comfort me.I nod. I prayed she would be.“Remember Sam had a c-secti
Chapter 114Dianna VanderbiltPOVToday is finally the day for my twelve-week check-up. No one was more surprised than I was that we were pregnant again.

Being pregnant with Julliet again is the weirdest thing ever.Blake and Julliet invited all of us to their house for dinner so after my appointment we head over to my brother’s place.We haven’t told anyone I was pregnant. We didn’t think we should tell anyone just yet.I wasn’t even showing yet. We were going to wait until after our appointment.The safe period and what not. The drive to the doctor’s office was more nerve-wrecking that I thought it would be.Grayson and Grace were at school. When I thought Grayson was a giant at eleven. I didn’t expect him to be so big he makes me look like a little child. With a beard and a deeper voice, I honestly can’t tell the difference between him and Garret now.I tie my hair in a messy bun. I was dressed very r

He returns home at night... I'm so excited to see my fiancé...I was sitting in our living room; the kids were upstairs for a nap. We had to get a nanny to help with the five children.With our soon to be four children, this was educational and to be honest it was freaking me out a little.When I was young, so damn young, I was corrupted by the wrong side. That’s the best way to put it. I’ve done so many wrong things in my life. yet God still blessed me with a fiancé who loves me, three amazing children and one on the way.When I tell people I’m blessed I mean it. I’ve never really been one for religion but after everyt

Not just for me but for our daughter since I was pregnant at the time.He feared I would lose the baby or hurt myself.After therapy, our marriage has become stronger in a way, I don’t know how to describe it. It helped me realize just how much he meant to me.There were so many things about Godfrey that reminded me of my father, the way he smiled. How his eyes would sparkle when he saw something he liked. I feel like my father blessed us with him.After Godfrey was born, my mother decided it would be best to travel, she felt trapped in the house filled with memories of my father. She wanted to be free of them.My mother has been struggling and when she travels, she feels so much bette

I would too if I was them.I run my fingers through my hair. I feel terrible. I was so close to proposing to Julliet. I was moving on with my life while they had to mourn their daughters.The kindest people I know. They didn’t deserve the hand given to them. Their one daughter was a complete angel who cared for everyone and everything. Whereas their youngest daughter, jealous of her older sister tried to kill her sister. She actually did kill Rene.
