BRADFORD'S POV

It's been over five hours since the proposal was sent to Lynette, yet there was no response.

I've never had to wait for something like that, I'd have taken the deal off the table by then. But there I was, waiting longer than I should’ve.

I rested in my seat and drummed my fingers on the armrest. Was she really stubborn enough to turn down the offer?

I sat up again and called Sophie through the telecom.

“Have we received any response from Lynette Evans yet?”

“Not yet,” she repli

  • Falling For His Nemesis    Lost the baby

    NICHOLAS’S POV “I'm pregnant,” Lynette whispered softly. Her voice was barely audible, yet it echoed in my head louder than anything. My heart literally stopped for a moment. I stared at her in shock and disbelief. And I saw the fear in her eyes, the way her fingers gripped the cup of coffee she hadn't taken any sip from, and my stomach sank. ‘Holy shit, she's not kidding.’ My mind began to spiral. ‘What the fuck is happening? Is the gods playing some kind of sick game with me? How on earth could she be pregnant at almost the same time as Maya?’ She chuckled nervously. "You're not…you're not saying anything.” I blinked repeatedly, just to be sure I wasn't having a terrible nightmare. My mouth opened in an attempt to say something, but I couldn’t get any words out. What the hell was I supposed to say? “Nicholas?” She tried again softly when I still remained quiet. "Sorry, I…" My throat felt tight. I paused and swallowed. “Are you…sure?” I asked, even though I knew she wou

  • Falling For His Nemesis    I'm pregnant

    LYNETTE'S POV We arrived in New York late in the evening. I walked in slowly into the house with my suitcases in hand. I paused in the middle of the living room, staring at it like it was my first time seeing it. Being back home was kinda different, even though everything in the house was still the same, not a single thing had changed. Maybe it was just me who felt different coming back to my reality after the fantasy and dream I've lived and experienced with Bradford in Santorini. No regrets, though. I sighed softly and dragged my suitcase down the hallway, heading to the bedroom. I hesitated in front of the door, wondering if Nicholas was home from work. Not that I cared if he was. He never called me once while I was away, and I wasn't expecting him to. I just thought it was about time I told him about the pregnancy. That's all I had been thinking about the whole ride from the airport. ‘I'm pregnant.’ I just had to say those three words to him. That's all.

  • Falling For His Nemesis    No way in hell I'm letting that happen

    GABRIELLE’S POV “Working on it together?” I mumbled Lynette's words to myself again as I paced back and forth in the suite, still finding it hard to believe. I'd been pacing for an hour, maybe even longer than that, I wasn’t sure anymore. My thumbnail was raw from biting it, but somehow, that didn't bother me. I was just seriously trying to wrap my head around it, make it make sense to me. Cause it just didn't. How could he not have fired her? I was sure he would. A man like him never tolerated incompetence, not from anyone, regardless of who it was. I would've bet my life that he'd cut Lynette loose the moment she admitted the designs were gone. But he didn’t. Instead, he offered to help and kept her in his suite all day. Working on it together? Together? I stopped pacing and stared at the wall. My brows pulled together in a frown. ‘What on earth is wrong with him?’ My phone buzzed on the glass table, as though it was the answer to my question. I crossed the room in thr

  • Falling For His Nemesis    I'd like you to stay

    LYNETTE'S POV As I walked down to Bradford’s suite, I felt like I was doing a death march. My heart was pounding harder with each step I took. I kept rehearsing what I was going to say when I saw him, but my mind kept going blank right after I'd finished. I stopped in front of his door, and my hand hovered over the wood for a few moments. I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly to steady myself and maybe brace myself too. “You can do this,” I assured myself very quietly before I finally gathered the courage to knock. He answered the door almost immediately, like he'd been waiting on the other side of it. Bradford stood there, wearing a dark sweater and grey pants. His hair was still slightly damp, like he'd showered not too long. And his face didn't give away any emotions as usual. "Come in," he said softly and stepped aside. I walked inside carefully, taking in his really wide and beautiful suite very subtly, trying not to make it obvious. Mine was just as beautiful,

  • Falling For His Nemesis    You have forty-eight hours

    NICHOLAS’S POV It was late in the afternoon. I stood by the window of my office high above the city with my hands tucked into my pockets loosely, watching the shadows stretch across the skyline, cars moving below like tiny insects, and people hurrying home to lives I knew nothing about. I envied them at that moment. Though I knew some might also be carrying a kind of weight on their chest, just like I was. Everyone was always battling one thing or the other at some point in life. A soft knock came at the door, interrupting my thoughts. "Come in," I said quietly, but I didn’t bother to turn around. The door opened, then closed gently, followed by quiet footsteps across the carpet. Then I heard Maya’s soft and careful voice from behind me. "So, have you… decided?" Something about her had softened since we went for the ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy. But for me…that had only made a strange heaviness settle in my chest. I closed my eyes for a brief second, let

  • Falling For His Nemesis    I need to face this alone

    LYNETTE'S POV My eyes fluttered open to the pale and golden morning light streaming softly through the curtains, still making Santorini look like a painting each morning. ‘Oh, I'm going to miss this place.’ I blinked twice, adjusting my eyes to the sunlight. Then last night came rushing back…the dress, the gala, the kiss…Bradford. And my lips curved to a soft smile despite the slight queasiness rising in my stomach, as usual now. My eyes suddenly went wide. ‘Oh, the designs.’ I sat up quickly and reached for my tablet on the nightstand. ‘I need to check them one more time. Make sure everything's perfect before I send them to Bradford. I couldn’t afford mistakes or anything that would make him doubt he hired the right person.’ I tapped on the folder to open it, but it was empty. My brows drew together. ‘That can't be right.’ I blinked rapidly, like maybe I still had some sleep in my eyes. Then I refreshed it. Still fucking empty. "No." The word came out low and small, but
