All Chapters of Wild Nights With My Brother's Ex-Best Friend: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

ROMANI crack an eye open and immediately search for Nikki, but she's not beside me and I'm pretty sure she isn't in the room.Where is she? Has she left?I sit up quickly, my heart beating faster. Last night was the craziest night I've ever had in my life, but I'm glad about how things turned out for us.This is definitely a lesson I've learned—no more lying. Hell. I'm not going to lose Nikki for anything in the world.That was a close call, and I don't want to go through that again.As I rise from the bed, coming to terms with the fact that Nikki probably left, I smell bacon and coffee, and a smile stretches across my face as I head out of the room.Seeing Nikki standing in my kitchen, wearing one of my shirts, makes me hard. I come up behind her, wrap my arms around her frame, and pepper the side of her neck with kisses that make her squeal."Roman! I'll burn the eggs.""I thought you left.""I wouldn't have done that without waking you."She turns her head to look at me, holding t

ROMANThe only reason why I haven't headed to my office yet is that I'm still making some calls.For starters, I wanted my secretary to call Sebastian's office and find out exactly where he is. I think he and I need to have a little chat. I don't care if Nikki thinks that guy's her friend—he's not.I can't stand the thought of her having lunch with someone who is clearly interested in her. I don't trust Sebastian's intentions, so I'm going to do what any man in my position will do.Warn him to stay the hell away from my girl."He's not in, Mr. Hayes, and his secretary has no idea when he'll show up."I let out a sigh before hanging up. I'm just about to start the car when I see him standing near the entrance with his phone pressed to his ear.Seeing him here pisses me the fuck off. I'm stepping out of the car before I can convince myself that this is even a good idea. As I approach him, Sebastian must sense something because he looks up and his gaze becomes unwavering.It pleases me t

NICOLEAs soon as I wake up in the morning, I decide that I have to talk to Mason and I can't wait. I've been thinking about last night's events nonstop and I feel terrible about how things ended. After sleeping on this matter, I now know that he must be going through a lot. I mean, Haley is allegedly pregnant and that's a serious issue. What was he supposed to do? Abandon her in the streets?Something about this feels off, though. When did she find out about the pregnancy? I have a feeling that this is a trick from her side somehow. I don't know. Maybe I just hate her so much that I'm making up issues that don't exist, but anyway, that's how I feel. Mason is my brother. He was there when I needed him the most and now I have to do the same for him. I call him even though I know he's at work and he picks up right away. He sounds relieved when he says my name. "Nicole.""I was wondering if we could talk?""Lunch break?""Yeah.""Where?""The sandwich shop near the apartment?""See y

NICOLE Roman hasn't taken his eyes off me since Esmeralda left the office. I go between looking right back at him and staring at the floor as I try to make sense of what I just experienced. His staring isn't helping. "Roman," I begin, "please stop.""What can I do?" he asks tenderly as he finally closes the distance between us. It has probably only been a couple of minutes since she left the office crying but in my mind, it feels a lot longer. "Tell me what to do to make this better.""Nothing."He sighs. "Nikki...""I don't mean it in that way. I only mean that I know this isn't your fault, so no, there's nothing you can do.""You believe me, then.""Of course, I do."The way he wraps his arms around me and holds me really touches my heart. He kisses my shoulder and says, "I'm sorry you had to see that. I don't know why these things keep happening. The new guard who's constantly around her knows he's never supposed to bring her here. I'll have to find someone else.""It'll be okay

NICOLE"Nicole? What the hell are you doing!?"He charges towards us, so fast that it makes my head spin, and then he positions himself beside Haley and throws an arm around her shoulder.I watch my brother doing this and wonder where the hell things went so wrong."Nicole!" he says again. This time, when he looks up at me, he's not shocked. He has anger written all over his face."You can't seriously believe that I started this!" I spit. "I told you I didn't want to come in here because I knew she'd start some shit, and that's exactly what she did!""N-No," Haley says. Oh, God. She's stuttering now and tears are pouring down her face. I can't believe the show she's putting on right now in front of Mason.And like the idiot he is, he's buying it!"I didn't want any trouble," Haley cries before sniffling. "I just wanted to talk to her and try to explain my part! I know that I'm not wanted here and—"I don't even let her finish. "That's not true, Mason. Don't even listen to her! She's a
