JADEN.

Leaving Ithaca had been the only rational choice after that scene at the hospital.

But rational didn’t mean painless.

Hurt didn’t even begin to cover it. What she said, how she said it... It cut deeper than I wanted to admit. She’d looked me in the eye like I was the monster in her story, and maybe I was. But she never gave me a chance to explain what really went down five years ago.

Leaving was difficult, but I had to, just so I could prepare for a better return.

But seeing her at my gate barely three hours after I arrived home looked like another test from fate. And, I'd be doomed if I ever let her set foot out of my sight ever again.

I was fresh out of the shower when Valerie came barging into the room, saying there was a woman causing trouble at the gate and that she wanted to go and see what it was about.

I asked her to stay back while I checked it out.

The moment I walked to the window and saw the drenched figure standing outside my gate, pounding on it with

  • Pregnant For My Brother's Best Friend   Chapter 50

    CRYSTAL. Jaden came to see Jason last night, just as he promised.And it had been… unbearable.I couldn’t stay in the same space with him for more than a few minutes without feeling like my chest was closing in. Every time our eyes met, it dragged up things I’d spent years burying. Memories I didn’t ask for. Feelings I didn’t want. Old wounds that hadn’t healed the way I pretended they had.Some of those memories were good.That was the problem.The rest were the kind that made it hard to breathe. The emotions warring inside me each time make it difficult to think straight around him. All I wanted more than anything was the grace to see this surgery through and leave New York immediately after. I didn’t want closure. I didn’t want him in my life in any capacity beyond this hospital room.A man who walked away from me once and destroyed my life without looking back didn’t get to stand at the center of my life again."Mummy... Will Daddy still be able to make it?" Jason asked after so

    JADEN. You can call me selfish.I already had.Because the moment she didn’t pull away, the last scraps of restraint I had evaporated. Logic left. Guilt followed. All that remained was need.I stopped thinking like a man and started feeling like an animal that had just gotten its prey back.It was like a dream come true. The woman I'd been craving all these years, finally in my arms without a fight? Fuck, I'd do anything just to remain in this moment. I kissed her harder, slower, testing, forcing her mouth open with mine, and she responded. She fucking let it happen.That alone almost destroyed me.I pulled her gently from the wall and guided her backward until the mattress met her knees. I broke the kiss only long enough to push her down onto the mattress. She fell on her back, soft and breathless, and I followed without hesitation, bracing myself over her.Her eyes were shut, almost as if she couldn't hold my gaze. The stupid little gown rode up her thighs the second sh

  • Pregnant For My Brother's Best Friend   Chapter 48

    JADEN.I paced restlessly, crossing the room over and over until the space felt too small for my body.Did I drive too fast?Was I too early?Or was she just running late?I refused to even entertain the idea of her not showing up. That thought alone felt lethal. It could kill me. I'd barely survived the hours leading up to this. If she didn't come, it would break something in me I wasn't sure I could put back together.When I sent that text, I hadn't waited for a reply. I'd jumped up, grabbed my keys, and headed straight to this house. Didn't even want anyone driving me. I checked the time again and looked out the window. After what felt like an eternity, I finally saw her alighting from a taxi. Everything inside me fucking stilled. She looked around frantically before knocking on the gate, and it slid open without delay. The second I heard her at the door, I yanked it open, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her inside so fast she collided with my chest."Jaden! What are you

  • Pregnant For My Brother's Best Friend   Chapter 47

    CRYSTAL.Days had passed, and the awkwardness between Noah and me hadn’t faded. If anything, it had settled between us like something we were both pretending not to see.He was genuinely remorseful. I could tell. And I wanted—God, I wanted—things to go back to how they used to be between us before lines were crossed.But it wasn’t that simple.He had started his new job. It's been three days already, and he seemed to love it there. Every time he talked about it, his eyes lit up.He was also given a "decent" apartment, according to him. He invited me over, but I promised I'd visit whenever I could. I still couldn't bear the thought of being alone with him in a room. I was happy for him. Truly. But it also meant I would be going back to Ithaca alone.Just Jason and me.The thought made me sad, but I couldn't pull him down when he was on his ladder of success. "Mummy?" Jason called me when I zoned out on him again.“Yes, honey?” I replied, turning to him.“When is Daddy comi

    CRYSTAL."Noah... Don't you think everything you did today was too extreme?" I finally broke the silence the moment we entered the house.It was a quiet drive home when we left the restaurant. Noah stared out the window like he was replaying his own version of the evening, and I was stuck replaying mine.Jaden's mouth on mine.The way my body had responded before my brain could catch up.I felt stupid. Weak. Furious at myself. But no matter how hard I tried to shove it away, the memory clung. It dragged me backward to a version of myself I thought I'd buried—the girl who used to sneak around with Jaden, who thought secrecy was romantic and consequences were something other people dealt with.Foolish. God, I'd been so foolish.Noah kicked off his shoes and loosened his tie like the night hadn't rattled him at all."Sunshine," he said lightly, shrugging out of his suit jacket, "everything I did was for you and Jason. You know I can act when I need to. I've always been good at it, rememb

  • Pregnant For My Brother's Best Friend   Chapter 45

    CRYSTAL.Everything spiraled so fast it felt unreal, like I’d been shoved onto a moving train without warning.One minute, I was trying to survive dinner. The next, I was wearing a ring in front of cameras, my parents’ expectations, Valerie’s satisfied smile, and Jaden’s barely-contained fury.I hadn’t seen it coming. But, turning down Noah's fake proposal in front of the press when the entire point of tonight was damage control, when saying no would instantly confirm every rumor, hand Tessa fresh ammunition to use against me, and make me look like the unstable mistress they were already painting me as, was something I would never do. I could already hear Tessa’s laughter in my head if she found out this was all fake. So I said yes.Besides, all of these would only last until next month. I'll be out of here even before the stupid wedding my parents were already planning on my behalf. The look on Jaden’s face when Noah went down on one knee?God.It shattered something in m
