Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 72 – Stealing Limelight
(Aiden’s POV)“Do we really have to go here, Aiden?” Jessamine pouted, stepping back when the elevator door opened. “Can’t we just go home? I’m tired.”Benedict sent me a message telling me to go to the family room they booked instead of returning to the function room. He may not tell me, but the tone of his message told me Sonia was furious with us for leaving the party.It was on the seventh floor, so the time for this long discussion about going there or home was insufficient. We needed a hundred-floor building, then maybe we could decide without making her mad at me.“Aiden…” She whimpered, not moving inside the lift as if her feet got stuck on its floor.“Yes,” I said firmly, pressing the hold button. “We have to see your mother. I had to talk to your parents. We can’t be engaged, planning the wedding without them knowing. After that, we’ll go home.”“Aiden,” she grabbed my arm, stopping me from walking. “We haven’t exactly planned our wedding.”Jessamine stared at me, her eyes w
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 73 – Do The Math
(Aiden’s POV)Gasps escaped our mouths when Sonia lifted her hand, slapping Jessamine in the face.“Why do you always have to do this, Jessamine?” Sonia’s body was shivering in anger.Benjamin dashed to her when she raised her hands, attempting to grab her daughter.“Stop it now, Sonia,” Benjamin shouted, perhaps the first in so many years of their married life because his wife’s eyes widened, shocked at him for raising his voice at her.“Stop it?” As if she fell apart, she cried and turned to me. “You knocked up my daughter without thinking of your future together? How will you raise your family? You don’t even have a job!” she snarled. "How will you feed my daughter?"I opened my mouth, but Benedict, standing behind his mother, shook his head, stopping me from answering. I closed my mouth, pressing my lips tightly.“You chose this perfect day to get back on me,” Sonia whimpered, clutching her chest and turning back to us. “Sonia,” Benjamin murmured worriedly and dashed to her side
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 74 – Be The Best Friend
(Aiden’s POV)“God, you scared me,” Deborah jolted after turning the lights on; her hand was still on the switch.She stepped back, startled when she saw Jessamine and me sitting in the dark kitchen. Her face was filled with questions, switching her gaze from her housemate to me as she walked toward the refrigerator to get bottled water, then leaned behind my back.“Now, you’re really scaring me,” she murmured, her eyes on Jessamine. “She’s still breathing, right?”“What happened?” Xavier asked, glancing at the time on the wall clock, and squinted to see it was only three in the morning.He walked toward Deborah and took the bottled water from her. Like her fiancée, his eyes did not leave her even when he drank water.I sighed, unsure where to start or how to tell them she had returned the engagement ring and broken up with me. If I weren’t worried about us getting into an accident, I would have wanted to cry with her on our way home. When we entered her apartment, she went straight t
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 75 – A Minute, Not Nine Months
(Jessamine’s POV)“Jess!”There was horror in Aiden’s voice when he grabbed my shoulders. He was trembling as his hands lowered, scanning me quickly and grazing my arms. He seemed to stop breathing when his hands reached my hips.“The baby,” he murmured, parting his lips as if filling his lungs with air. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” His eyes were wide as he asked.“I’m okay,” Vincent groaned and chuckled as he answered, raising his hand, hoping Aiden would help him stand. “I’m…”He winced when he didn’t. Aiden stood before me; his eyes were wide open, still looking shocked even when they all learned I was not the one who slipped and got hurt. I wondered if his heart ceased to beat and why his eyes were pinned on my belly.“Thanks,” he said, forcing a smile on Xavier, who took his hand.“Vincent, what are you doing at this hour?” Deborah asked as she hung the sweater on my shoulders.“Are you okay?” My heart still hammered in my chest, terrified after seeing him trip and fall.“Yeah,
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 76 – Having A Grandchild
(Jessamine’s POV)“Colleen,” Shayla hissed, grabbing her sister’s elbow.Colleen brushed off her hand and walked toward me. My body jerked when she grabbed my hand and pulled me to her, hugging her.“You must feel terrible, Jessie,” she whispered, soothing my back lovingly. “I’m glad you finally had that courage to tell Mom how you feel.”“Hey!” I eased back, my lips pouting at her. “Just feel bad about me, okay?” I sniffled, wiping the tears escaping from the corners of my eyes.“And what? So…You’ll feel more guilty? You’ll feel… bad about everything?” Her eyebrows raised, crossing her arms on her chest. “Na-ah, sister! We’ve all been waiting for this day to happen that you’ll have the courage to tell Mom how you feel and you know… not just bow at everything she tells you to do.”“I never do what she wants me to do,” I pointed out.“That’s why we envy you. You can do that, and we can’t,” cut Shyla, rolling her eyes.“I’m still upset with you, though!” Colleen pouted her thin lips and
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 77 – Telling, Not Telling
(Aiden’s POV) The throbbing pain cracking my brain woke me up, not Charlie licking my face. I groaned, pushing the puppy’s face away, and rolled to the other side. Charlie jumped out of bed, maybe finding my cheeks less interesting, and turned his attention to Jessamine’s shoes. The sunlight peering the room through the window told me it was two or probably three in the afternoon, but it was the least of my concern. “Argh!” I massaged my forehead, lowering my gaze as I tried to remember how I got myself on the pull-out bed or why I was in my pajamas. All I recalled was that after what had happened in the hospital room, Benedict went with us to the apartment after Jessamine sobbed nonstop in the waiting area as if her mother had died. Then Xavier invited us for a drink, but I did not have a can of beer like them. I had a whole bottle of whiskey for myself. Was it one? Or two? Sonia made it clear last night that she didn’t want me for her daughter, but what was unfair to us was her h
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 78 – Problem Solved
(Aiden’s POV) “What? You’re looking for what?” I blinked, then my eyebrows furrowed, hoping I heard it wrong. Jessamine might be looking for a cat, a pet I didn’t know. My best friend raised her head and looked at me, meeting my eyes. I didn’t back down, scowling at her as our eyes met. “I said I am asking them to help me find the guy I was with that night,” Jessamine repeated, then sighed, her full lips curling. “The father of this child,” she placed her palm on her belly. “What?” It was almost a murmur, and then I shook my head, trying to brush off the headache... and the heartache. “Why? Am I not enough?” “No, Aiden. You don’t understand.” Jessamine lowered her head and fidgeted with her hands. “Yeah, I don’t understand,” I opened my mouth, unsure which was worst, my presumed death or this. “This isn’t about you or me…” She snarled, fighting her tears and clutching the hem of her shirt. “This is about…” She turned her gaze at her housemate, silently asking for help to fill he
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 79 – Friendship Over
(Jessamine’s POV)I stared at my reflection in the full-length wall mirror in my bedroom naked. For the past two months, I looked the same except for my hair which had grown an inch or two, and maybe my eyes, which had become puffy from crying. My belly? I smoothened my palm on my still flat belly while I asked myself if my baby could feel my trembling hand.“What on earth are you doing?” Aiden asked, shocked to see me naked. He immediately closed and locked the door. “Why are you not wearing anything?” His eyes were wide as if he had seen something horrible inside the room. “Wear something.”I smiled sheepishly, shaking my head, and continued to stare at the mirror, looking at him in the reflection as he took my night robe and walked in my direction. He stopped when he was a foot behind me, creasing his forehead, thinking of what to do with the robe. Aiden is the most beautiful man I have ever met, and there is no question about his genes. He is gorgeous, smart, and the most loving
