Josie's Point of View

I shook my head hard. No. There was no way it would be positive. It was one night, and I'd taken the pills afterward. I'd only bought the test for peace of mind.

Yes. That was all it was.

I patted my chest, let out a long breath, and successfully talked myself down.

I tore open the box and took out the test. "Don't panic, Josie. You're going to be fine!"

Narrating to myself like an actress in a one-woman play, I slipped into the stall, sat down, and followed the instructi

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 51: Late Means Punishment

    Josie's Point of ViewThat wicked voice and that wicked tone were enough to turn my bones to jelly.Husband, oh husband, this was shameless seduction!Stay calm! Whatever happens, stay calm! Hold it together!I flipped my hair back and switched the receiver from my left ear to my right. "Mr. President, I'm a planner. Isn't this not my job? Why not have Secretary Lane do it?" I held back a laugh and deliberately made it sound suggestive. Who told him to love male secretaries so much?"You want Secretary Lane to rub my back?" Colt couldn't believe his ears."Yes. You two, master and servant, can go into a room and take your time with it." Picturing the scene that filled my head, I was beyond help."Wife, what exactly is going on in that head of yours?""Nothing! I'm just wondering. With a dozen or two handsome men strolling around outside like a modeling contest, can your heart stay calm?" I fought to keep from laughing.Dead silence on the line!I was secretly pleased at having gotten

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 50: You Think My Desk Is Too Small?

    Josie's Point of ViewOf course I understood what he meant.My new position was making babies.My new specialty was how to sleep with him.What was I, the president's twenty-four-hour on-call girl?I put on a sweet smile, leaned over, and brushed some nonexistent dust off his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm very professional. I'm only afraid I'll be too professional and you won't be able to handle it!""Challenging me on your first day. Mm, bold. I like it!" He pinched my chin, smiling happily."You like it? Really? Then shall we start now?" I hooked my arms around his neck and pressed against him like a boneless octopus, breathing perfume at his lips.The temptation made his blood surge.But this was an elevator. There was no camera, but it rose fast, and it would reach the top floor in four minutes and twenty seconds.Itching as he was, he restrained himself and pulled my hands down. "The elevator's almost there. Stop messing around.""Who's messing around? I'm seriously expanding my ar

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 49: A Bat in the Room

    Josie's Point of ViewGideon took in the sight of me, and a flush crossed his handsome face. I was wearing nothing but a shirt, and it was hanging open.He turned his head away, trying not to look where he shouldn't, pulled the shirt closed for me, and turned his back. "Button it up, quickly!"Only then did I realize how indecent I looked."I... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I fumbled with the buttons, and the more I rushed, the less they would close. We were in a hallway where anyone could appear, and Wyatt was still in my room. What was I supposed to do?Thank God it was Gideon and not another Hawthorne."Josie, you ran out of that room looking terrified. What happened?" he asked."Um..." I couldn't tell him the truth, so I grabbed the first excuse I could. "I think there was a bat in the room. I was halfway through changing when I saw it, and I was so scared.""A bat?" His long brows drew together. "Why would there be one in your room?""Maybe it flew in through the window.""Then I'll

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 48: A Fright at Dawn

    Josie's Point of View"You can't just indulge her like this," Colt said, one corner of his thin lips curving in a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Not spending the first New Year after the wedding at her husband's home? Outsiders will say the Hawthornes are bullying the Callahans."It sounded like he was thinking of the Callahans in terms of etiquette, but anyone who understood would understand what he really meant.Wyatt only smiled, a chill hidden in his dark eyes.Scarlett was furious. "Hmph! Bad brother! Do you think this is your home alone? That you decide everything here? I'm coming back to stay, unless Grandfather throws me out." She dragged Wyatt in front of the old man. "Grandfather, be fair. My husband, my in-laws, everyone approved of my coming home for the New Year, so why is my brother scolding me? Hic..."Grandfather comforted her. "There, there, don't cry. You may stay. Your brother is strict with you because he cares. Don't be so upset."Scarlett switched from tears t

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 47: Grandfather's Arrangement

    Josie's Point of ViewI froze for a second. Did the old man have to ask so directly? How's it coming along? As if I were knitting a sweater.I shifted awkwardly. "We're still working on it."Grandfather, leaning on his cane in front of the flower beds with a watering can, turned around. "Colt has been very busy lately. I checked his schedule, and it's going to get busier, with frequent business trips. If you two can't even meet, how can you have a baby? Two months pass in a blink, and if you aren't pregnant by then, even I can't protect you.""You're right, Grandfather!" I smiled. What was the old ancestor really driving at?"I thought it over and came up with a way for you to be together twenty-four hours a day," he said, a smile of cunning wisdom on his face. "Then you can make a baby anytime, anywhere, whenever you find a moment!""Ha ha..." I laughed stiffly. Anytime, anywhere? Did he think we were baby-making tools?He went on. "I know you were a very capable manager of the ad de

  • Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law    Chapter 46: I'm Trying to Win You Over

    Josie's Point of ViewMy heart thudded. I felt a wave of cold behind his smile.He'd asked it as if it were casual, but it wasn't really his question to ask. The subtext was: Are you worried about Wyatt?"If I said I'm not worried, would you believe me?" I met his eyes. If he already had his own answer, then whatever I said wouldn't be accepted, so why waste my breath on a pointless struggle?"Why wouldn't you be worried?" He looked puzzled."Ha." I laughed, as if mocking myself. "Right, why wouldn't I be? Because I have no conscience. Because I only care about being happy. I'm just a cold, heartless woman. Disappointed?"Every question he asked jabbed at my spine and left me in the wrong either way.I had thought he was angry but generous enough to let it go. Who knew he'd simply switched to something crueler, like that morning when he'd used a tie as an excuse to rebuke me after I came back from walking with Gideon.He wasn't a man who exploded and shouted. His specialty was bloodle
