บททั้งหมดของ Pregnant After A One Night Stand : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Jasmine POVIt is exactly 10:00 a.m. the next day when the plane touches down in Los Angeles. I take a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for what is going to happen next."The product is wonderful," someone says beside me. I look at the seat next to me. Isabella is sitting there, and Michael is between us. After telling her about everything the day before and leaving her to decide whether or not she was going to come with me to L.A., I have to admit that I’m rather relieved that she decided to come along after all. It will take a lot of time to finally settle down in the new city, and in the meantime, I need someone to look after Michael for me. It would be a lot of trouble if I had to take him around with me everywhere.“Indeed,” I say with a tight smile.Los Angeles is indeed a beautiful and big city—until you know all about it. I stand up along with the rest of the passengers on the plane, and there is a solemn progression as we disembark. "What now?" I ask myself."I’ve alrea

Nico’s POVThe plane touches down in Los Angeles at exactly a few minutes after 12:00 noon.I could only manage a brief nap before my eyes snap open again. I look beside me to glare at Fabio, who has just shaken me awake."We’re here," he announces, taking off his seatbelt and standing up. I roll my eyes. He just has to point out the obvious, as if I’m blind or something.The rest of the men climb down the plane. Blade and Mario follow behind, taking the luggage with them. They mostly contain arms and other weapons that we need."You guys go on and settle down at the mansion," I say to Fabio.He tilts his head to the side, leaning against the plane and looking at me with a curious expression. "And you?" he questions. "What are you up to?""None of your business," I’m tempted to say. I refrain, however, knowing I don’t have to be rude. After all, he’s only asking an honest question. I have to admit, most of the time he is a bit too curious for his own good."I’m going over to the compa

Jasmine's POVAs I hurry down the corridor, just barely avoiding Chad, I think I see a faint shadow of a man in the distance. The scent of citrus and sandalwood fills the air, but I ignore it. I'm too focused on trying to get away from Chad and the rest of my past to actually notice anything else.I can finally breathe in relief once I make my way out of the company itself. The driveway isn't empty; there are a lot of cars there, but I bypass them all. My phone beeps. I quickly reach into my bag and pull it out. I see that there is an email from the manager of the company."You got the job," it read. "Work starts 7:00 a.m. tomorrow."I stand there for a while, just doing nothing. I'm torn between being overly joyful about the fact that I finally have a job that's going to pay way more than the hotel ever did and will be less stressful. But then on the other hand, I just found out that Chad Travis works there too. I don't even care to know his status, but it's already turning into more

JASMINE'S POVThe next day.As I walk out of the hotel, a car is already parked, waiting for me. It has my initials customized on it, so it's impossible to miss. I take a deep breath.Turns out the manager wasn't kidding when he mentioned the house and cars that came with the job.As I come closer to the car, the windows wind down to reveal a blonde man in a black tuxedo suit and white long-sleeve top. He looks extra corporate, and I even notice a badge on his suit with the Ferrari corporation logo on it.At least now I know this wasn't a kidnapping, at least."Miss Jasmine Taylor?" he asks without looking in my direction. He pulls down his dark shades the slightest bit and tilts his head toward me.I give a nod. "That's me," I confirm.He reaches out and pushes the passenger seat door open.I clutch my bag close to me and step into the car.He gives a nod, and in a matter of seconds, he sets the car into motion."What a rather convenient life," I muse to myself. I can get used to it,

JASMINE POV—Nico walks out of his office, leaving me there with a mixture of confusion and desire. I quickly get down from the table just in case any other person is about to walk into the room."Screw him," I curse under my breath. Somehow, he always manages to have his way all the damn time, and it is really starting to piss me off. But no, the real thing that pisses me off is the fact that no matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I act like I don't want him, that I want none of what he's offering, the more I seem to gravitate towards him and find him harder and harder to resist. And the scariest part is that he knows that too. Maybe even figured it out right from the onset. I take a deep breath and turn to the glass windows that are at the side of the room. His desk is not arranged and half of the files are on the floor. My ears turn pink, the little pieces of evidence nothing but a clear reminder of just what was happening a few moments ago. I tear my eyes away from th
