Alle Kapitel von ONE NIGHT STAND BETWEEN BEST FRIENDS : Kapitel 201 – Kapitel 210

BrandonIt took more than a while before we could get rid of Ariel and her crazy friend, Marilyn. I had shudders looking at her and wondering just how I had ever found her attractive enough to bed her. But when I looked at Salma’s fierce gaze I remembered the reason. I had done it to hurt her because I knew how much she hated Marilyn. It was certainly not one of my proudest moments, but there was nothing I could do to change the past. “They will be back,” I said to Salma as we stood quietly in the hallway watching their disappearing figures. “I don’t think Leona is safe in Texas anymore,” she voiced out, and immediately that made me tense. “What do you mean?” I asked her, doing my best not to sound confrontational. “I think we need to transfer her to John Hopkins,” she said, her eyes were filled with genuine concern for our child, and for a minute I forgot I was still angry at her. “We cannot risk Leona having an infection,” I reminded her, “I promise I’ll keep her safe. I’ll inc

Brandon“Really?” Daphne’s tone was filled with sarcasm. But on my path, this was the first time I was learning that Levi was her godfather. “I had no idea,” I said, “about Levi being your godfather.” Elaine shrugged, “Well, now you know.” I returned my gaze to Daphne who had an irritated expression on her face, “Can you help me with your father?” She shook her head in pure disgust while her gaze remained fixed on Elaine, “Do not ever call that man my father.” That caught me off guard. “Is this because of the divorce? I understand he cheated, but…” “There is no excuse for what he did,” she kept looking at Elaine, which I found odd. “Fine!” I gave up trying to get help. I could not ask Elaine for help because she was pregnant and had already started to show. I walked around to my car and opened the door. Levi looked slumped on the seat, but his eyes were open and he was no longer snoring. “I can smell her perfume,” he said, sniffing the air. “Can you stand up?” I asked him

Salma“When we saw how he turned you into a liar on live TV, we had to step in,” said Agent Vasquez. “I didn't see you step in,” I said plainly, “I was arrested. That would have been a good time to step in.” “I know,” Dmitri said, “it's just…” “My medical license is hanging by a thread,” I was angry, and now that I had someone to blame, I could not stop myself, “I'm about to lose my job, and you what? Are you telling me you stepped in? I would like to know exactly how you have done so.” The van was quiet for the next thirty seconds. Except for the sound of Dallas traffic, not a single thing could be heard. “Have you nothing to say?” I asked when they all said nothing in response to my vent. “It’s just… we're going to need you to take the fall for those things for now…” “No,” I shook my head, “I'm not throwing away my career…” “He's going to kill someone else,” Dmitri said, “he is picking out his next target even now.” That shut me up. I had watched my daughter in the past co

BrandonPopular heart surgeon, Dr. Salma Gascon may have her license suspended due to unethical practices that constitute professional misconduct thereby putting her patients at risk. This comes as…“Turn that off,” I said to Rose, my secretary. I could not bear to listen to any more news about Salma because it was all so negative. It was torture to my soul. Every time I saw her, I could not help but love her, and yet I could not have her. I could not reconcile the beautiful woman with the ugly things I heard about her. “So you’re back to work full-time?” Rose asked me. Since Leona had been recovering well and my parents had started helping us look after her, I had more time on my hands, and I could not spend that time idly. Also, I had promised Earl that I would see to it that Angel 654 became a reality so I had to work extra hard. “Not full time,” a smile crossed my lips because I knew I would never be back fully. I was a father now and that was more important to me than being C

SalmaI looked at my reflection in my full-length mirror and placed my hand on my belly. It was flat and well-toned and not at all like I had a baby growing inside of me. “He’s crazy,” I said out loud to my reflection, “pregnant? As if?” But I could feel my eyes well up with tears. When Elaine had told me she was giving Brandon an ultimatum about their unborn baby, I had acted like I did not care. And then when he told me he had chosen her—chosen their child, a part of me wanted to punish him by making sure he never saw Leona again. But I could not do that, not without hurting Leona deeply. I wiped my eyes before the tears could roll down my cheeks. I felt ridiculous. I had already ended it with Brandon. I had told him that we could not be together when he tried to convince me otherwise, and now I was fawning over him? “He hurt you, remember?” I said to my reflection, “When he left you that morning, he effectively ended any chance of being in a relationship with you.” And yet
