Evan's POV
"I, for one, don't like Jasmine. In my dictionary, she's definitely the definition of a gold digger. The DNA test is the best idea yet. You can't trust that girl, Evan," Zack said as he drank his diet Coke.
"How is she a gold digger?" EJ asked.
I had just gotten back from a meeting at another branch and decided to meet up with the guys for lunch.

I had just told them what transpired between Aria and Jasmine. They already knew about everything else: Jasmine quitting, the breakup, Bradley, Jasmine's pregnancy. I regretted telling those two clowns anything because, now, they were going back and forth like Jasmine and Aria."I like Jasmine. I know she screwed up but nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes and learn from them," EJ added.
"Mistakes? Her leaving your brother for Pittsburg wasn't a mistake. It was a choice. And the only reason she made that choice was because those were her true intentio
Evan's POV"Preg... pregnant?" I stuttered, taking the box of tissues on my desk and attempting to clean myself up."Yes.""How? We've been very careful. You told me you were on the pill, and I still used protection with you most of the time.""I know that Evan. But accidents do happen."Lord, give me strength."You're mad, aren't you?" She looked like she was about to tear up."No. I just wasn't expecting this. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Have you been to the doctor?""No and no. I've just been throwing up a lot this morning and not feeling like myself.""Okay. Lets go." I took my jacket off the back of the chair, took my car keys and guided her out the office.I decided to bring her to Dr. Matador. He was an excellent OBGYN and didn't leak any information to the press for a quick buck. My parents trusted him and so did I."Hello, Mr. Hollen. What can I do for you today?
*Three Months Later*Jasmine's POVI was definitely round like a ball. My C cup became a DD cup and my butt got huge. The baby's birthday was approaching so I had been preparing for his arrival.Evan and I went to parenthood classes and exercise classes together. They taught us how to be excellent co parents so it doesn't have a negative impact on the child.Evan was engaged Aria and set a wedding date for after the birth of the baby. He said he wanted his son to be apart of the wedding.I'd learned to accept his engagement and decided to move on with my life once the baby arrived. Evan promised to get a place for us and put money into an account for me until I could get back on my feet and find myself another job. I was grateful for him, though I may not have had him to myself. He was a very wonderful man; he was amazing and had a heart, even after I broke it.It was my fault for him not wanting another
Evan's POVHe had my grey eyes, my hair texture and color, and my complexion when I was newly born. Mom took countless pictures of when Emily and I were babies, and Jevan resembled me. I had no doubt in my mind; he was absolutely my son.Jasmine had been discharged the following day after she had given birth. I took her and the baby back home. I knew I said that, when the baby came, Jasmine would have to find somewhere to stay, but Jevan was too young to be outdoors so soon, and the police detectives still hadn't found out who attacked her during the early stage of the pregnancy. All of that just made me unsettled to have Jevan out there.I had already bought everything a baby needs: from cribs and countless pieces of clothes, to newborn baby formula. She had everything she needed for Jevan, and she wasn't to worry about a thing.I watched him as he slept so peacefully in the crib. Mom, Dad, EJ, Emily, Susan and Zenia met us at the hospital
Jasmine's POV🎶Hush little baby, don't say a wordMamma gonna buy you a mockingbirdAnd if that mockingbird don't singMamma gonna buy you a diamond ringAnd if that diamond ring don't shineMamma gonna buy you a--"JASMINE!"I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard him yell out my name. I had just put Jevan down for his nap and I was singing sweetly to him. I kissed his little cheek and went to find Evan.A large brown envelope was thrown at me when I approached him in the living room."Who else you slept with, huh? YOU LYING, CHEATING BITCH!" he blasted out at me.I stood there, dumbstruck by his sudden behavior and tone of voice."What are you talking about?""You're going play dumb now? You're gonna stand your ass there and pretend you don't know what the hell I'm talking about?!""Evan! I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
Jasmine's POVEmma and I sat down on the patio while Zenia was inside with Jevan."Jasmine, I need you to be very honest with me. I'm not here to judge you or yell at you and belittle you. I'm here for the truth. Can someone else be the father of baby Jevan?"I shook my head no."Could Bradley Pittsburg have drugged you and had sex with you without your permission and knowledge?""No, Emma!" I snapped at her but quickly regretted it. "It never got to a stage where anything like that could have happened. I know what I did at the gala was messed up, and I know why Evan had doubts in the beginning, but I never slept with Bradley, or anyone else for that matter. I was always conscious when I was with Bradley, and never once had he forced himself onto me. We never even kissed. It was just a friendly get together whenever we got together and nothing more."I was reaching a point where I couldn't stand this anymore. Ev
Evan's POV"I'm going upstairs to get Aria," I told my mother."I'll be waiting right here," Mom replied before sitting on the couch I had slept on for the night.I climbed the stairs while my head floated to another dimension. My memories were only of putting Jasmine and Jevan out the house. The way she cried and pleaded to me. The way she looked at me when she tore up the check. The way Jevan looked at me when he was out the door in his mother's arms. The way her last words hurt me: "Go to hell Evan Hollen."It was haunting and it was painful. My heart squeezed against my chest as if it wanted to break free. I couldn't handle all of the heaviness. I needed to fix this and fast."Aria, we have to leave right now," I said as I entered the bedroom.She was sitting at the dressing table applying her makeup and already dressed."What's going on?""Mom is downstairs. She did a DNA test and the results stated t
Evan's POV"Son, we cannot seem to get an exact location on Jasmine. We tried tracking her cellphone, but we lost the connection," my father explained on the other end of the phone.I was already settled in my private jet, EJ next to me.Zenia! I thought and dialed her number."Hello?""Zen. It's Evan. I need Jasmine's exact address.""I can't provide you with such.""Zenia, please! I need to get to your sister as soon as possible!" I begged."I swore to secrecy. I'll be betraying Jasmine if I tell you."I knew, at this point, she wasn't going to give me the address unless I did something I never enjoyed doing. Bribery."Zen, if you do this for me, I'll give you the capital to start your own clothing line and boutique, and that's a promise."There was a long pause on her end, which was a good sign because I knew she was considering my proposal. Jasmine had told me that i
It was April 10th. Three more days to his first birthday, and she was already planning a huge surprise for him.His tiny heart desired one thing and one thing only. His mother knew just what that was, and she was going to give it to him on his very first birthday.The following day, she had set out and prepared for her gift to him, and to herself as well. She had sent in her resignation letter to the the law firm, where she had worked for six months, and booked a flight to Brooklyn, New York.At six p.m., they had already landed and were making their way to their home.Although there were strict guards at the huge, familiar gate, they were let in without hesitation.

She took a deep breath, inhaling and absorbing the fresh scents surroundings around her. She walked up to the main entrance's double doors and pushed t
Three weeks laterJasmine's POVEvan and I had been lying in bed when an idea crossed my mind. I had realized that there were so such to him that I didn't know about as yet and so many unanswered questions.I gently tugged on his shoulder and he turned towards me with a smiling face and messy hair."Can't sleep?" he asked."Can I ask you something?" I asked, ignoring his question."Sure, what is it?""Why do you give women white roses when you're through with them?"He chuckled and ran his hands over his face."When I was a little boy, I used to go to my great grandmother's house a lot before she passed. Right before she got sick, she started planting a garden of white roses, and I assisted her sometimes. Right before the very first blossom of the roses, she passed. She never got the chance to see her white garden, and I took it very hard. So, I use white roses to tell women goodbye, and that they're dead to me."I was shoc
