ROMAN

Ten Years Later...

Whenever I stop to think about everything that happened between Nikki and me, I can't believe how far we've come.

Looking back at it now, I think it's safe to say that our relationship was destined to be doomed. At least, that's what it felt like. I behaved immaturely half of the time. Hell, the whole revenge plot was such a foolish move. I don't know what I was thinking.

When I saw her at that event, clutching her purse and her pamphlets, something in me lit up. I don't know why I wasted time revisiting a past that no longer served me. I can't believe I used Nikki just to get back at Haley.

I almost lost the love of my life many times. Now that it's been years since we left the city, I can't believe we managed to survive everything that happened. Our lives are so peaceful now.

Decisions had to be made for us to get to this point, and I don't regret any of them. For starters, I sold my company. Yes, the one I worked so hard on. The one that made me a rich and

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   207: Namesake

    NICOLEAs we make it to the hospital, I try to go through everything Roman told me before we left the apartment, in my mind.Esmeralda died this morning.Roman has to be the sole custodian of their baby, or give it up for adoption.I haven't really allowed myself to think about Esmeralda during these past few weeks. Every time I did, I dismissed the thought immediately, almost like the guilt was too much for me to bear.Now, I have to confront this new reality. I genuinely don't know what to do or even think, and judging by the way Roman is tiptoeing around me, I guess he doesn't know what to expect either."What're we doing here?" I ask him once he speaks to the receptionist, who greets him in a familiar way and I have no idea why."Nikki," he says before facing me and cupping my face in his hands. "I know we promised each other not to keep secrets anymore, but I have to be honest with you right now."My heart drops again. It hasn't even been half an hour since the last time. "What i

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   206: Keeping In Touch

    NICOLEFour Weeks Later...It's been weeks since that awful event that still haunts my dreams, but with each passing day, I see it less and less in my mind.Someday, I'm sure it's going to fade into a memory. I won't see it so vividly. Hell, I'm hoping I'll maybe even forget how Leonardo looked.Their bodies were found a week after we left the place. I've been tense ever since, waiting to be summoned by the police due to a connection to them, but that hasn't happened yet. It also helped that we removed my bag from the floor of the car, and gloves were used the entire time.I don't know. I guess we've been lucky. That's the only explanation I have for all this.Not a soul knows about what happened to Leonardo apart from me, Dan, who's probably hiding somewhere in the world, Roman, and Mason.If it stays that way, then nobody will ever find out. I hope it stays that way. We've gone through enough to last us a lifetime and from here on out, all I want is peace.Peace and quiet. And a lif

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   205: The Born-Again Man

    NICOLEI'm so shocked at the sight of him standing in front of me that for several seconds after I have said his name, my mouth is wide open and I don't know what I'm waiting for.Dan keeps his eyes on my face while he wipes the barrel with a cloth he removed from the pocket of his jeans. He's wearing gloves, too. I can't read his expression.It suddenly occurs to me that I got out of one nightmare only to find myself in another one."Are you alright?" he asks me after many long beats of silence. "Do you know where the key to the handcuffs is?"I don't answer him. It's like my mouth has forgotten how to form words."Nicole," he says urgently. "We can't stay here for long. Do you understand? There are dead bodies outside and one in here. I can't be caught here.""I don't want to go anywhere with you," I retort. "Just leave me here. Or do you plan on killing me, too?""I think that was pretty clear," he answers. When he sees the look on my face, he adds, "I meant I thought it was clear

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   204: Outcome

    NICOLE"Is this how you killed Sebastian?" I hear myself ask. "You put on your gloves and stabbed him with that knife? How did you even make it out of that place on time?"A thin smile curves his lips. "No. I didn't kill him. I had someone else do it for me. I wouldn't have bothered getting my hands dirty on him.""How didn't the killer get caught?""Fuck if I know. He got the job done and that's all that matters.""Why?" I hear myself asking as my gaze settles on the barrel of the gun. Though I'm talking normally and asking all these questions, I can feel my heart beating in my throat and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this will be the end for me. He'll shoot me, then walk away.I won't have a chance to do anything else. Ever again."Sebastian was in the way," he simply explains. "His involvement with my father would have made him a witness and I can't leave any traces behind. I'll clean everything up, and then, things will go back to normal. To how they

  • Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend   203: Desperate Measures

    ROMANI meet Mason outside. He takes one look at me and asks, "Are you okay? What happened?"I feel way too emotional to speak right now and this never happens to me. I know anger. I know resentment. I know impatience. Need. Hunger. Even fear.But what I experienced in there...this never happened to me before. It's a feeling I can't describe, and it was strong enough to make me forget that I'm rushing to find out what happened to Nikki and where she is."Yeah, I'm fine.""Everything okay?""Yeah. Just the same. Come on. We have to get going.""I've been trying to call her this whole time," Mason claims as he follows me to where my car is parked. "She didn't pick up.""The same happened with me.""Fuck. Where do you think she could've gone?"I rest my arm on the roof of my car once I reach it and run a hand down my face roughly. I haven't shaved and my face feels scratchy. It makes me think about her. She loves it when my face is scratchy like this. "I don't know. I feel like I'm losin
