Semua Bab Pregnant After A One Night Stand : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Nico's POVAs we shake hands cordially, I can't help but feel a certain longing within me. I want much more than a handshake, something more intimate than that, but I don't know how to ask her. I don't know if it's time. The memory of our time together in the restaurant still comes to me, and I'm constantly reminded of how close we had been together then before... Well, I'm not quite sure who ruined it."You can let go now," she says with a strange smile on her face. I freeze immediately, realizing that I have been holding on to her hand for about an entire 30 seconds now. I feel embarrassed to a very large extent, but I don't want it to show. Luckily, the composure that is always on my face is still there, so I reckon I can take care of this situation with ease.When I realize that I'm still holding on to her hand for about 5 seconds after what she said, I withdraw a little awkwardly. There's no way I can handle the situation without looking strange anymore. The chance I had to do th

Nico's POVOnce she says the word, I feel my heart stop beating for a split second. We stare at each other. A part of me reminds me that I have to say something and melt the growing awkward air that is between us, but somehow it takes a longer time to process the new information than I imagined. What is wrong with me? I mean, I always knew that the kid was mine, didn't I? Right from the time I cast my eyes on him in her apartment in Little Italy, something clicked between the both of us. But even at that, as much as I wanted to be certain at that time, there was always an iota of doubt left to be cleared in my head. And now, hearing it from her own lips, that made it a thousand times more real.He was mine. The kid was mine. I didn't know what to think; a greater part of me is overjoyed, yes. And somehow I want to make Jasmine mine all over again, to make up for all the lost time. The heir of a powerful mafia definitely deserved special treatment, especially when the heir was mine.

Jasmine POV It's over, everything is completely over, and I am a complete fool for thinking that this could have ended differently in the first place. A part of me wants to break down into tears as I rush out of the restaurant. I grip my handbag tighter as though it would make the pain any better. I replay Nico's expression in my head over and over. The realization that I have been chasing after a dead end all along. I shouldn't have let him in. I knew it already, but instead, I decided to put myself out there and find out for myself. At the end, I'm nothing but a fling to him. Someone that he can use as he likes and then go back to the one he belongs to at the end of the day. A single tear slides down my cheek and I brush it away immediately. I'm not going to cry, not over him. With that thought, I manage to get myself together and pull out my phone. I call my driver quickly. I'm slightly relieved that Nico didn't try to go after me. If he did, then I might not be able to resist h

Nico POV Another day at the company, Stella. There was absolutely nothing to look forward to this time. And funny thing is, by now I should have already gotten used to the boring life. Even after making my way down the hallway, my heavy boots echoing off the glass tiles, I feel my blood boiling up. My fingers twitch. I have a sudden thirst for something more. I need something else. Anything that will get me out of my head. I need some action around here.I shove my hands into my pockets and step into the lift. The staff and workers whisper to themselves as I pass, like I'm some fucking intriguing art exhibit they have to stare at and make comments about.But I'm used to the attention by now. I maintain my expressionless poker face and count the floors as the lift goes up. Why didn't I want to take the elevator, I wonder to myself. I pull out my phone and realize that I have a text from Fabio. I open it up immediately but am immediately disappointed.Fabio: Whatever you do, make su

Jasmine's POV I'm completely lost in my thoughts and working on the files on my desk when footsteps are heard in the office. Normally, I couldn't be less concerned. After the saga that happened in the company not quite long ago, I know that a lot of nosy staff are no doubt spreading news about how the CEO stood up for me and brought me back to the company. I've already made it clear to Nico that I won't appreciate any special treatment from him, especially in the company. We are going to act like a normal boss and employee. But even I know that it won't be that easy, and I'm not naive either. I know that the damage has already been done. People are already whispering about both of us. Well, they might not know about me yet, but from the conversation I unintentionally eavesdropped on, I know people are already speculating that the CEO is seeing someone. And that reality fucking scares me. It's my duty to make sure they won't be able to trace it back to me; otherwise, I would have t
