Evan's POV
Emily became my preacher, Zack was my therapist and EJ acted as a guidance counselor. All three of them together stopped me from finding Bradley and tearing him apart with my bare hands.
Seeing Jasmine only channeled my anger more. I wasn't expecting to see her back so soon, but she should consider herself lucky that I was in a better state of mind.
I had never laid hands a woman, nor will I ever even think about doing such a cowardly act, but I wanted to see her hurt, like the way she hurt me and embarrassed me at my gala. Hopefully, the rose made such statement.I had been the topic of gossip since that time, which was something I tried to avoid or have at a low.
"Billionaire had his job handed back to him."
"Billionaire's assistant assisted millionaire at his Gala."
"Billionaire versus millionaire over an assistant."
I was tired of hearing it all.
Truth be told, I missed Jasmine and it had
Jasmine's POVZenia and I were in the supermarket throwing food into a cart while moving from aisle to aisle."Put this in there," she said, throwing two pregnancy tests into the cart."Zenia, I already told you that I'm not pregnant," I pleaded."Lets say that you are pregnant, who's the father?"I gave her a death glare and, if looks could kill, I would have killed my own sister."Hey, don't get mad at me," she said, throwing up her hands in surrender."I get why you asked that question, but Evan would definitely be the father since I never engaged in any sexual activities with Bradley.""So you didn't use any protection?" she asked in a whisper tone."Yeah we did. But there was this one time we didn't and he ejaculated inside me.""My gosh.""Can we just drop this topic? I'm really trying to move on with my life.""Sure."The topic
Jasmine's POVIt was a hot day in Brooklyn. I woke up to sweat running from my forehead to my chest and between my breasts. I pulled the covers off me and went to the bathroom and did my morning business. I stepped into the shower next, brushing my teeth, washing my hair and taking a long bath. I had been working myself up and breaking down again after seeing Evan and Aria Goode together at the restaurant.Aria fricking Goode. A country singer. Beautiful in the face, long brown flowing hair, beautiful eyes, pretty lips and an awesome personality. Everyone liked her and would become a die hard fan the moment they heard her music. She was a goddess with a guitar and a songbird on the microphone. She was everything.Despite the heat raging outside, I had to get to work. Today was payday and I needed my money badly.I got dressed and went towards the kitchen."You got the morning shift?" Mom asked. She was whipping up a nice batch of pancakes wh
Jasmine's POV"NO, NO, NO! I CAN'T BE PREGNANT. Doctor, with all due respect, you have me confused with another patient. I'M NOT PREGNANT!" I screamed at Dr. Shannon once I had recovered and she told me the news again."Jasmine, please relax. Take deep breaths. I know sometimes these things are hard to process, especially when you were not planning," she replied while adjusting the pillow underneath my head."I just don't understand. I took two pregnancy tests. TWO! And they both showed negative," I recalled the pregnancy tests Zenia picked up for me when we went grocery shopping."Well, I honestly don't know what faulty pregnancy test you picked up, or if you didn't follow the directions carefully. Or, in medical terms, some women's bodies produce mixed hormonal signals and sometimes a pregnancy test cannot be accurate. Stress is a great factor for doing such."So, that's why some women, when they think they're pregnant, p
Evan's POVI was sitting in my office and staring at the picture of my parents' wedding. Emily and I were still babies but I was such a chubby one.I wonder what it would be like to actually become a father.My office phone rang and removed the thought from my mind."Evan Hollen," I answered."Mr. Hollen, I have a Miss Blackman here to see you," my secretary said from her end.My heart skipped a beat. Jasmine?"Jasmine?" I asked her."No. She said her name is Zenia Blackman. The little sister.""Send her in."Why is Zenia here?Sitting up in my chair and straightening my suit, I watched Zenia come through the door. She walked up to my desk slowly while gazing around the room."Good morning," I greeted her.Her eyes landed on me now. "Good morning," she answered back."How can I help you?" I asked her."There's something you
Jasmine's POV"Pack my things?" I asked for the second time."Did I stutter?" he asked. He turned the car engine off and opened his car door.I remained seated. I felt numb."Jasmine," he called me as he came around my side. He opened the passenger's door and stood there, waiting for me to get out."Why do you want me to move into your house? I'm very comfortable and happy at my own apartment.""Jasmine, you're having my kid. You've been talking crazy about adoption and abortion. Do you think I'll be comfortable having you away from me with the baby inside you? You're moving into the mansion where I can keep a closer eye on you and the baby.""But you're at work all the time!""Jasmine, I'm not going to fight you on this any longer. Get yourself upstairs and let your sister assist you with packing.""I don't want to leave my sister and my mother," I protested as the tears came welling up
Evan's POV"I can't believe you moved that girl into your house!" Aria snapped at me.We were sitting in a restaurant, having lunch together. I had just told her the news about the pregnancy and moving Jasmine into my mansion. Aria was furious. We had been going steady for three weeks now."How are you even so sure that the baby is yours?""I took her word for it."She scoffed and folded her arms. "Wasn't she the same one who left you for another man? Wasn't she the same one who embarrassed you at your gala last month?""Yes. That's the one.""And, yet, you're taking her word for it?"I remained silent. The thought of someone else fathering the child did cross my mind. If that wasn't my kid inside of Jasmine, I honestly didn't know what the hell I'd do. I wanted a kid. And, although Jasmine and I had parted ways, a fraction of my heart still belonged to her, and I was happy she was carrying a baby for me.
Jasmine's POVI sat down on my bed, in one of the guest rooms, combing my hair before tying it up in a bun to get some sleep.I left a window open so the cool air came in as I threw myself, face down, onto the bed. I felt lonely and sad that this was what Evan and I had come to. I never wanted this much separation.A single tear fell from my eyes and was sucked up by the bed sheets underneath me.A knock came on the door, suddenly, and startled me a bit. I rolled over on the bed and, standing on my feet, I went to open the door as the knock came again."Hi," he said as he came into my room and began looking around. This was so unexpected but like him."Hi," I answered him back and looked at his every movement."You like the room?" he asked me."Yes. It's comfortable and I'm warm," I answered.He came closer to me. So close that his body heat warmed me even more. I took three steps b
Evan's POVShe was flushing in the car seat and looked out of the window constantly the rest of the car ride to the OBGYN's office.After telling my parents the news about the pregnancy, Mom recommended an obstetrician and told me she'd slap me upside my head if I didn't accompany Jasmine there on the first day. I was already planning on being there for her though.I pulled the car into a parking lot of a neat, two-story building with dark tinted glass windows and a true nature, outdoor environment. I instantly liked it. It was also private so I wasn't worried about the press showing up.Thanks Mom.I opened the door and held Jasmine's hand as she got out and looked around in amazement. I led her to the entrance and pushed in the door."Good morning. You must be the Hollens," a nurse greeted with a smiling face."Yes," I answered without correction."Dr. Matador would be with you very shortly.
