All Chapters of Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

ROMAN I park the car outside my house and stare at it. Fuck, it looks so different from when Nikki and I were here the last time. This is ridiculous. Maybe I should never have brought Esmeralda here, but it's only five months, and anyway, where else would I take her? This place is the safest one I could think of. Sure, Nikki knows about it, but she would never come here.Not on her own, at least. I stride into the building, crossing the parlor on my way to the living area. My intention is to find my housekeeper and have her call Esmeralda so we can get this conversation off the table, but I find Esmeralda lounging on one of the couches and when she hears me approach, she rises. "Where have you been?"I frown and can't help the surge of anger that courses through my veins and fills my mind. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not married to you, so I don't want to hear you ask me that again. Are we understood?"Esmeralda steps forward. There's a crazy look in her eyes. "You made me

NICOLE When I leave work, I stop by Mason's apartment before going home because I have to check up on him and I promised him I'd do so. Though he's doing a lot better since he left the hospital, I just feel so damned guilty whenever I think about him. I genuinely feel like it's my fault that he's been stabbed and nobody can change my mind. He was only at that event because of me. Angus insisted because I declined the invitation in the first place. I lock my Chevrolet Spark and head upstairs, carrying a bag of groceries under my arm to make him some soup. I make a mental note to call Roman later and tell him I'll be late, because it slipped my mind to tell him about this in the morning, and take the stairs up to his floor. I find the door unlocked and push it open slowly, calling his name. He knows I'm here, but I don't want to walk in on him in an uncomfortable situation. "Mason? I'm here!""I'm in the living room." I push the door open all the way, and then close it with my hip,

NICOLEWe arrive at Roman's mansion—yes, the same one he took me to several days ago. I glance at Angus, who's seated right next to me in the black SUV we're in, and ask, "What the hell is this about? Why are you bringing me here?""Do you know the guard?" he asks instead of answering my question. The guard is walking toward us right now. "No.""Well, then." The guards knocks on the window with his gloved hand, and Angus rolls it down. "Good morning. What can I do for you?"I glance at Angus uncertainly before saying to the guard, "I'm with Roman. Could you open the gate?""I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss.""Why?""Mr. Hayes didn't leave any instructions for us. In fact, he told us never to let anyone in without contacting him first.""Is he here?""No.""Who is?""I'm afraid that's confidential. If you have no permission from Mr. Hayes, I'll have to ask you to leave."Angus intervenes. "Now, hold on, young man. I think you're being rude. This young woman here might just be your bo

NICOLERight now, I feel like I'm looking at a stranger and not Roman, the man I love and have loved for the better part of my life. I'm beyond heartbroken, but there's also this element of ridiculousness that I just can't get over. Am I really here, seated across from Esmeralda who's somehow pregnant with Roman's child? In what world does something like this happen?I would be more mad at her but the truth is that I feel too numb for that. I think back to that day of the festival when she got so mad at me for being with Roman and not telling her about it. That was the last time that she and I talked, and it was because of Roman. Is that why she was so mad at me? Because she wanted Roman for herself?How fucking ridiculous. Then again, I should've known that something was off.I genuinely should have known something. When exactly did she get pregnant? I want to ask all these things but at the same time, do I really want to know? What's the point of knowing? It has already happened

NICOLE"You've got to be kidding me, Mason."The guilty look on my brother's face becomes even more pronounced. "Nicole, I was just trying to..."I don't hear the rest of his sentence because Roman walks up to me and steals my attention. He stops right in front of me and says desperately, "I just need you to listen to me, alright? Give me one minute, Nikki. Just one."I shake my head and try to side step him, but he gets in the way and grabs my arm. "I don't want to talk to you! I can't even look at you right now!"Mason says from the couch, "Nicole, maybe you should—"I interrupt him. "So, now you're on his side!?""No, I just...come on, Nicole. You two need to talk. I'll step out for a bit, alright?"I look at Mason in pure disbelief. What the heck? Why does it seem like he's on Roman's side now? I'm so angry that I can't think clearly. Mason heads toward the door, and I ignore the look he gives me. In my mind, I'm thinking horrible, nasty things, like of course Mason would be on hi
