Falling For His Nemesis Then it's settled
LYNETTE'S POVI was standing by the window with my arms folded loosely across my chest, staring out at the city below.The glass was cool against my forehead yet it did nothing to calm my mind that wouldn't stop spinning since the conversation with Nicholas last night.For once in my life, I felt…stuck.Thinking about Nicholas, Bradford, the baby, and Gabrielle's words…everything was tangled together in my head, pulling me in different directions, and I wasn't sure which to go.‘Say yes to Nicholas, stay away from Bradford, focus on the perfect family you've always wanted.’But every time I thought about Bradford, my heart ached. Every time I thought about Nicholas, about the baby I was lying to him about, and he wants to take responsibility for, my guilt crept in, making the weight of it all feel too heavy on my chest.I had no idea what I was going to do.A soft knock came at the door interrupting my thoughts, but I didn't bother to turn around. "Come in."The door opened quietly,
Falling For His Nemesis They're not like us
LYNETTE'S POVI knocked on Gabrielle's door before I could change my mind.The door swung open a few minutes later. Gabrielle stood there, still in her robe, and her hair a little messy from sleep. Her eyes widened when she saw me.“Morning.”"Lynette?" She blinked rapidly. "What–what are you doing here? It's…" she glanced at the wall clock behind her inside. "It's not even seven yet.” She sounded more surprised than I expected.Then she moved aside for me to come in."I know," I said quietly and stepped inside, lingering near the door for a moment. "I just…I needed to talk to you.""Is…everything okay?" She inquired carefully, still staring at me like I'd grown a second head."Yes.” Then I shook my head as if countering myself, “No. I don't really know. That's why I'm here." I slowly walked to the couch and lowered myself on it.Gabrielle closed the door and came to take her seat across from me, pulling her robe tighter around her as though she was bracing herself for the unknown."
Falling For His Nemesis You're in love with her
BRADFORDS POV The moment I opened the door, my brows pulled together in confusion when I saw that the lights were on. I froze and stopped just inside the doorway, my hand still on the door handle. I was sure I turned them off before leaving this morning. I tilted my head and mumbled quietly. “Or didn't I?” Then I heard a rustling sound followed by the soft click of a plate from the dining area. My eyes widened a little. ‘Someone's in my apartment?’ I gritted my teeth, then started to move very quietly, carefully. My fingers found the knot of my tie and pulled it loose. I slid it off slowly and held it in both of my hands, ready for whoever it was that had the guts to break into my apartment. I rounded the corner, and my hands slowly dropped when I saw my chaos of a best friend sitting at the head of my dining table with his feet up on the chair next to him, and a slice of pizza in his hand. My pizza, from my fridge of course. I raised my brows, staring at him in both s
Falling For His Nemesis We should close our marriage
LYNETTE'S POVI lay on my side in the softly lit bedroom, staring at my phone on the nightstand, waiting for it to light up with a call from Bradford, or even just a text.Regardless of what I told myself earlier, a small part of me was still hoping I was wrong, and that I at least meant something to him.So each time my phone buzzed with a call or text notification, I thought it'd be from him. But it'd been hours now since he told me he'd call me later, yet nothing at all.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling.My hand slowly moved up, tracing my lips as the kiss replayed in my head again.The way his warm hands cupped my face, his soft lips on mine, the way everything else seemed to disappear at that moment…it's just so fucking hard to forget about him.But who on earth was this woman that always had him running?I still had no answer to the question, and that made it all more frustrating.I closed my eyes and rubbed my temple, trying to suppress the throbbing pain in my
Falling For His Nemesis It's time to wake up, Lynette
LYNETTE'S POVI sat at my desk, staring at my laptop screen, but I wasn't seeing anything anymore. The designs had blurred together.I tapped my face lightly with my palms, trying to get my mind to focus. I didn’t get easily distracted whenever I was working, but no matter how I tried to concentrate now, my mind kept drifting to the phone call Bradford received at lunch yesterday.And I couldn't stop asking myself the same question:“Who was she?”I tilted my head to one side. ‘Was she his mother? His sister? or his…girlfriend?’I'd told myself it didn't matter, that we didn't have anything serious, so I had no right to inquire about such.But that didn't stop the questions from circling in my head, cause the way his face changed, and the way he left so abruptly made me really curious.I let out a soft sigh. Then I minimised the window I was working on, and opened a new browser window.My fingers hesitated on the keyboard. “Can't believe I'm actually doing this?”“Well, it's all I c
Falling For His Nemesis I'm going to need your help
NICHOLAS’S POVThe café I picked was the small, quiet one I used to go to have meals with Maya and…the few others before her.It's the kind of place where no one pays attention to who you're having a meal, or a private conversation with. That's why I always felt more comfortable there, rather than some sophisticated restaurant.When I arrived, I met Gabrielle already seated at a table in the far end, with a cup of coffee in front of her. She was facing the door, and instinctively looked up the moment I walked in."Nicholas,” she acknowledged me when I reached her, and I returned the gesture."Gabrielle.”I pulled out the chair across from her and lowered myself into it. I didn't order anything, I was just watching her, and I was more curious about what she had to say.She looked different from what I remembered. I thought she's always cheerful and confident, but this time, she seemed a little nervous."Thank you for coming," she said quietly, pushing hair behind her ear."Well, you s
Falling For His Nemesis Seeing her in daylight
BRADFORD'S POVThe shock on Lynette’s face was unmistakable. Her face turned pale and her warm brown eyes widened.She seemed to have recognised me even before I introduced myself. From magazines maybe, given that she's a fashion designer. She was staring at me like she saw something that wasn't r
Falling For His Nemesis The call boy?
LYNETTE'S POVI kissed him like I'd been hungry for it.And honestly, I have.He froze for a moment, probably shocked I moved so fast. Then he started to kiss me back slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. I wasn’t expecting his lips to be that soft. He pulled me closer with one hand and
Falling For His Nemesis Now, I'm done.
LYNETTE'S POVI stood still, staring at the door Nicholas had just walked out through, tears streaming down my face.I cried for a few minutes.Then I suddenly wiped my face and walked out of the bedroom.‘He doesn't get to decide that.’“Nicholas?” I called out as I walked down the hallway.I sear
Falling For His Nemesis Anniversary plans ruined
LYNETTE'S POV“Gabrielle, it's almost 5 pm,” I said, trying not to sound annoyed. “Why aren't you here yet?”“Sorry Lyn,” She said in a playful tone. “I'm almost at your studio.”“You said that twenty minutes ago,”I knew she was lying. She muttered something, and I could picture her biting her low
