ROMAN

Nikki and I are waiting outside the apartment building in the car just in case something goes wrong.

Nikki's biting her nails compulsively, and her eyes are glued to the window. She has a few light scratches along her arms and some on her neck from Haley's attack, and it makes me so angry every time I look at them.

How could that cunt put her hands on my girl this way?

My thoughts become murderous every time I think about Nikki getting hurt in any way, and Haley...God. I don't even want to think about it because I've got a lot on my plate and I don't need extra trouble. I hope Mason will man up and kick her to the curb like the rat she is.

And then, we can all move on without her being a damn inconvenience.

Nikki gasps, and my heart does a little flip in my chest. "Look!"

She points at the entrance of the apartment building and I see Haley dragging two suitcases out. They spent quite some time in their apartment, and I'm relieved to know they didn't just fuck and make up.

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   126: Eerie Coincidences

    NICOLEThe car I'm shoved into speeds away, and for several minutes, maybe longer, I can't think or even breathe. I have no idea what any of this is about, and I'm terrified.The smell in the car is awful and reminds me of rotten onions.When the car comes to a screeching stop, the people on either side of me step out, and then I'm dragged out. I nearly stumble when my foot touches the ground, but I'm held upright and practically carried to God-knows-where.Behind me, I hear Mason screaming again, hurling curse words at our attackers. Or maybe 'kidnappers' is a better word. I twist my head around even though I can't see and shout his name. "Mason!"I'm relieved. At least he's here with me. At least he's alive.But for how long? What do these people want? Who are they?With the hood over my head, I can't see anything, so I have no idea where we are. They drop me on the ground painfully, and then my back is pushed into what feels like a metal pole before my arms are bound behind my back

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   125: Bad Idea

    NICOLEThe drive to Richard's is short and uneventful. Basically, it's the one part of this town that doesn't make sense at all, because it's clearly a luxury hotel in the middle of old storefronts with signs that look a hundred years old.It gives me the creeps."We could've done this ourselves," Mason comments. "We really didn't have to pay that lady dinner just to find out we had to come here and talk to someone else.""I wasn't aware that you knew who this Sandra woman was," I remark sarcastically. "Wow, why didn't you say anything sooner?"Annoyance crosses his features, mixed with a pinch of humor. "Come on, Nicole. You know what I mean.""Just get out of the car."I face the hotel and for some reason, nervousness washes over me, and I have this urge to turn back and drive back to the city. Never look back.Mason sighs, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Let's get this done and over with."I follow him inside, letting him take the lead. We're greeted by a porter, then push past the

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   124: Sarcastic Exchange

    ROMAN"Yes, Roman, I have the information you need. Well, the truth is that this seems like a legitimate claim and it would be best if you did a private DNA test just to avoid that court appearance. Don't contact her directly or send her any money—that'll only be an admission of guilt. Until we can prove whether or not you're her unborn child's father, you don't owe her a thing."I sigh and down another glass of scotch. This has to be one of the most fucked up days of my entire existence. "How quickly can this happen? I want to get this shit done and over with. I'm tired of having to think about this.""I've already contacted her lawyer, and it can happen as soon as tomorrow, if you'd like. She's truly willing to cooperate. We're going for an NIPP test—non-invasive, that is. We'll just need a cheek swab from you.""If it turns out she's wrong?""We can sue her for emotional distress and defamation, if you're willing to bother.""How do I keep this out of the papers?" Right now, I'm on

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   123: Favor For A Favor

    NICOLE"Is that her?" Mason asks in my ear.I turn to look at the entrance and see a woman walking into the diner on heels that are way too high. The black, sparkly, sequined dress she's wearing is body-tight, and her heels are a Ferrari red color. When her gaze lands on us, I raise a hand to capture her attention. It's really her, even if the profile picture on her social media was taken with a filter."She's a rough forty-eight," Mason comments in my ear before she makes her way over.I turn to my brother. "It's disgusting that you'd comment on a woman's appearance like that."He all but rolls his eyes at me. "That's the age she's supposed to be according to her social media, idiot. Does she look forty-eight to you? No.""Your point?" I ask, bewildered."She's a liar."Mason's forced to fall silent when she sits across from us, smiling from ear to ear and flashing yellowed teeth at us. "Hello! Why, why...I never thought I'd see you children again. Jessie's children. Who would've tho

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   122: Paternity Claim

    ROMAN"You're sure they stopped in Ashvale?""Yes," my guy, Ritchie, answers. "They've checked into a hotel named Ashvale Heights. They're getting their bags out of the trunk right now."I sit back in my chair, mind racing. When I spoke to Nikki, she didn't exactly tell me what they'd be doing. I'm pretty sure she only mentioned that they'd be going on a trip to their mother's hometown. Why? I have no idea either. I've been too distracted, and that's not a good thing.Then again, I was distracted when I was comforting her on the death of her mother's best friend—a woman who'd done so much for her and her mother's charity, Wings of Grace, who also happened to be Sebastian's godmother, which was how Nikki met him in the first place.She told me about the trip but didn't give me any details. Thinking of it now, I find it strange, and I actually think that she was keeping the information from me on purpose. Why? Why doesn't she want me to know what she's doing there?"Make sure to keep fo

    NICOLEIt's Saturday, and Mason and I are at Katie's funeral.Words can't truly describe what I'm going through right now. The realization that I'll never see her again handy truly sunk in yet—it's like I'm in a place between acceptance and denial.Katie's done so much for me...now she's gone.It's so abrupt. I'm transported back to the days when Ma passed, but we knew what to expect for a long time. Every day, we'd be relieved when she woke up, until the day came when she didn't, and we had to face a reality without her in it.Watching Katie's coffin be lowered into the ground makes my head spin.I wish I had met her for more coffees. I wish I had asked her for more advice, or that we'd talked about Ma more, since Katie knew a version of her that I had never seen before.When everything's done, I feel exhausted. There aren't many of us in attendance, and I don't know ninety-five percent of the people here. From her family, only Sebastian is here, which makes me vaguely wonder why the
