LYNETTE'S POV

I sat there moments after the door had closed behind Nicholas, staring at the space where he'd been standing near the counter, and the cup of coffee he couldn't finish.

The whole house suddenly felt so quiet that it made every small sound feel louder than it should, including my own breathing.

I sighed softly, rubbing the bridge of my nose with my finger.

‘Why did Nicholas look like I told him something that was totally out of the ordinary?’

I was expecting more of his usual nonch

    NICHOLAS’S POV I stood there long after the doctor had left, staring at the hospital corridor that stretched out endlessly before me. Then I started to walk slowly to find out which room Maya was. I dragged my feet as they felt heavy underneath me. The fluorescent lights buzzed above me, casting everything in that sickly pale glow that made hospitals feel like a different world. I was directed to Maya's room at the nurses’ station. I hesitated outside the door when I got there, looking through the small window. She was awake, just lying in the bed and staring blankly at nothing in particular. Her face was pale, the kind that came from losing too much blood and too much hope all at once. I opened the door and walked in gently. She either didn't notice me walking in or just chose to ignore my presence cause she didn't turn her head to look at me. "Maya,” I said carefully, “are you okay?” She didn't respond. I sighed quietly, walked closer, and stopped just beside

At least now I can breathe normally since I've gotten it off my chest.’I stood up, walked to the sink, and poured the coffee down the drain. The dark liquid swirled and disappea

  • 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,

She muttered something, and I could picture her biting her low
