Pregnant After A One Night Stand /Western Rose

Nico's POVAll my excitement fades into thin air as I step into the large hall.My personal assistant walks in behind me, holding a set of files under one arm.My mind isn’t here at all; it still feels like I’m back in my office. A part of me wonders if Jasmine would still be there."You're late, Clifford," the spokesman of the board says. I look up to see the huge man in a gray suit and black tie. He leans back in his chair at the head of the round table and taps his smartwatch as if trying to prove a point.I roll my eyes with a shrug, walking deeper into the hall."Do you have a problem?" My voice rings out, holding a mixture of indifference and challenge as I stride toward the table.All the partners are already there. A few of them I recognize from previous meetings and events I was forced to attend. Then there are the ones I have to keep an eye on, always ready to pull out my gun and go full mafia mode if necessary. Like Chad, for instance.I pull out a chair and slip into it.M

Nico POV"They want to negotiate," Aaron says, catching me off guard. I pause, and for a moment, I just stare back at him, unsure of what to say. Finally, I snap out of my daze and clench my fist in rage."I'm not up for another one of their petty games," I say stiffly. "You can't be serious," Aaron throws his hand into the air and sighs in exasperation. "It's true that they are much of a headache, but won't you consider a negotiation process rather than downright war?" he asks."I wish you made sense, I really do." I shake my head vehemently. I turn away from him and instead focus on the driveway down below. After everything in the world, it seems so helpless launching. I find it hard to believe that all they ever wanted was an audience with me."Now listen, Aaron," I say, turning back to him. "You don't know these people like I do. You have no idea what Robert is capable of. I didn't predict him to move this quickly, but there's always been some bad blood between La Camorra and t

Jasmine POVI find myself nodding to his offer. It seems to be honest enough, and there was nothing really against my going out for a friendly lunch with him."Of course," I say.I have a feeling that being friends with a veteran that knows the ropes in the company would come in handy sometime."Well, ladies first," he says, standing up with a light smile on his face.I follow Adrian out of the office. The other man in the room doesn't really seem to notice anything, as throughout the whole time he was literally just sorting out some files and paying no heed to us."Maybe if you're up for it, I can give you a tour around the place," Adrian offers.I give a nod. I'm still wondering why he was being so nice. There has to be a reason behind it, right? I think to myself. I warn myself not to get too carried away with his act, just in case.I trail after him as we reach the elevator. He's at least 6 ft tall with long legs, and I have to walk fast to keep up with him."So tell me, Jasmine,

Jasmine's POVTime passes, and gradually, I get the hang of the job at the company. This morning, my mind drifts to the current situation. Over the days, I’ve managed to get a little more information about Chad and his divorce from Amelia, but even though people talk about it, I still don't know the real story behind it. I know that to get it, I'll have to ask him myself.After the day I ran into him and turned him down when he practically begged to speak with me, Chad has kept his distance—and rightly so.Yet, I'm still thinking about it.For some reason that is more than natural curiosity I feel very much interested in the situation. Even though it should have been 2 years ago I still feel like it was just the previous day that those two betrayers got married. And now I can't help what feel satisfied. Maybe what I really want is revenge. Something to make it feel equal between us. I don't deserve what he did to me maybe all this while my mind is just looking for justification for
