11. TRUE OR FALSE

Nicola turned on her heels."Yeah, you are right. I make up scenarios in my head and judge people. Because, as you said, I am a selfish, judgmental bitch." She walked back to the island and placed the plate and glass down as Dominic got off his stool, ready for a fight."Let's look at my fake scenarios then, shall we?""What are you-" Dominic started but was cut off with a raised hand."My husband does not love me." She said. "True or false?""What?""True or false?" She shrugged. "It's just a one-worded answer, Dominic Grant. Does my husband love me or not?""This is stupid." He averted his eyes. He had answers to a lot of questions. This one was one of the exceptions."He doesn't." Nicola nodded to herself. "Does he wish he was married to Natasha Cunningham instead of me?""Nicola-""He does.""That's not true.""Shut the fuck up." Dominic was stumped by the coldness her voice held."My in-laws hate me, my parents hate me, and all my sister feels is guilt towards me. My husba

12. TEAM LUNCH

Dominic imagined a lot of things. Imagined a lot of things and a lot of ways that his relationship with his wife would change after that night. What he did not imagine was for her to go AWOL for the rest of the week and only turn up on Saturday morning, sitting on the breakfast table with a dry toast between her teeth as she typed away leisurely on her laptop. "Good morning?" The greeting came out as a question as he made his way to her, barefoot and bare torso, his grey sweatpants hanging low on his waist.Nicola, in a sack of a tee and her lion's mane a sparrow's nest, looked over at him and stretched her arms above her head. The sight was so adorable, what with the toast in her mouth and the sleep in her eyes, that Dominic could not help but smile. Sometimes he tended to forget that this twenty-two-year-old was actually still a kid in comparison to him. He clearly was not taking into account the mental age. Nicola took out the food from between her teeth and said in a ya

13. DATE INTERRUPTED

Dominic let out a chuckle as Nicola got rid of the sodden paper straw and took a large slurp of her kiwi ice cream shake attaining a milkshake mustache as she did."You are such a child!" He laughed as he used the back of his wrist to wipe her face. "Look who's talking!" Nicola rolled her eyes, turning to the berry ice cream bowl. "Who would have thought you would have this much space left in your stomach after all the food you had at lunch? Not to mention two servings of ice cream." Nicola narrowed her eyes at him. "Let me give you some advice." She pointed her spoon at him. "Never comment on someone's appetite unless your opinion is asked." Dominic nodded, taking that as his sign to shut up. "P.S." She added as an afterthought. "Desserts at upscale restaurants and hotels are never filling enough." Dominic nodded again. He agreed with her on that. That was why he was a patron of this small low-key ice cream business. "How often do you do this? These team dinners?" He as

14. TICKLE MONSTER

Natasha stared at Dominic as he played with his phone. It was as if he was waiting for someone's call. The woman could only hope that nothing had changed so drastically in the past week that Dominic Grant was now waiting for Nicola Montgomery's calls. "What's on your mind?" She asked timidly, scared that he would say something that she would hate to hear. Dominic finally looked up. "Do you know Keith Foreman?" Natasha let out a sigh of relief. It was not about that Nicola at least, or so she believed. "Yeah, I have seen a couple of his movies." She was not about to admit to Dominic that Keith was her celebrity crush. Keith Foreman was everyone's celebrity crush. "Do you think that he is that great that one would get so excited about meeting him?" He asked. Natasha raised a brow. Was he going to meet him? If that was the case, then she was definitely tagging along."I suppose so. He is famous." Dominic let out a huff. "What's so special about being famous?" Natasha was c

15. DUMB AND DUMBER

"Dominic?"Dominic's head jerked up at Nicola's shout for him."Yeah?" His voice came out hoarse. He was deep in thoughts he had no business having in a marriage with an impending divorce.He got up from the kitchen stool and hurried to her room."What is it? Are you okay?" He asked and stopped in his tracks when he found Nicola peeking out of her bedroom with damp hair and a towel around her voluptuous frame, half-hidden behind the door.He gulped. She had given him an electric shock. Oh well, technically he had given himself an electric shock from the kiss on her forehead and now suddenly, he was hyper-aware.And now his wife was giving him more visuals to fuel his vivid imagination."Dominic?" He shook his head to get his act together. "Huh?" "Can you buzz Blair in? She's downstairs." Dominic nodded mutely but didn't move an inch until she closed the door. Who would have thought one kiss was all it took? One chaste kiss on the forehead?He padded to the front door and en

16. MEETINGS AND DINNERS

Blair looked at her watch for the nth time while Nicola rubbed her chest, feeling queasy again. She took a sip of the third glass of warm water she had requested. "How about something to eat?" Blair asked her, concern in her voice. "You look pale." "It's not professional to order before the other party arrives," Nicola stated. "It's not professional to make the other party keep waiting for two hours," Blair grumbled, tapping on the call button on the table. "What are you doing?""Ordering tea for you." Blair gave her a firm look, one that even Nicola could not fight against. The CEO deflated in her chair and looked out the window. It had started to drizzle - gloomy, just like her mood. All her excitement of meeting her favorite celebrity had gone down the drain when she saw the articles about her husband and his 'friend'. But she will be damned if she ever admitted it to anyone else. The waitress reached their table. "One peppermint tea and a slice of apple pie. And one

17. IT'S SETTLED

Monday was okay. Nausea and a little fever. Nothing Tylenol couldn't handle. But Tuesday? Tuesday had Nicola rushing to the restroom in the middle of a meeting, emptying the hearty breakfast Mary had put together for her after her appetite had come back. "That's it. We are going to the hospital!" Blair just was not having it this time. "Can I come?" George piped in. The women narrowed their eyes at him. "Go back and do the barely-there work you have, asshole," Blair told him. "We need to wrap up the meeting," Nicola said weakly, dabbing her forehead with a wet napkin. "Okay, I will wrap it up." George resigned to taking over the job. He pointed a finger at Nicola, "But you are going to the doctor." "Exactly," Blair said. Nicola groaned. She hated the hospital. She hated needles and stuff. "Come on, let's go!" Blair took her hand and before she could protest some more, dragged her to the car and then to the hospital. "When was your last period?" The tell-tale q

18. THE BEST LIFE

From believing that his wife was a robot with no personality,To pitying her and deciding to give her the divorce she asked for, To being petty over a video and deciding to make it hard for her, To changing his decision once again after her outburst and deciding to become her friend, To getting influenced by his stupid friend and trying to woo her,Dominic had the most life-changing ten days of his life. But who would have thought the most life-changing matter yet would be served on a silver platter by his wife? The one that changed everything.The person that changed everything. Their baby. "I am pregnant." Dominic stumbled back, knocking the package of sushi off the island in the process. "What did you just say?" His voice came out hoarse."I said I am pregnant. I am six weeks along." Dominic covered his mouth with his hand as he took deep breaths. Nicola waited for Dominic to say something. Waited a hundred whole seconds - she counted - but he was still shell-shoc

19. LENTILS AND BLUEBERRIES

"You need to fix this." Dominic ran his fingers through his already disheveled hair. "You need to fix this, Dom."He stopped pacing and looked at the closed door of his wife's bedroom. "But how? I don't even know what she is thinking. I don't even know her. And now we are having a baby!"The reality of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. A baby. Their baby.Dominic took a deep breath, trying to process the gravity of the situation. He knew that their marriage was strained, but he had never thought that it would lead to this. He had never imagined that he would become a father under these circumstances.But was he happy? Yes! He didn't think he would be this happy but he was, as he had told her, positively ecstatic!Dominic's eyes fell on the roses that he had tossed under the dining table. He scrambled to get them. Two roses had snapped on the impact. He removed them from the bouquet.Dominic took a deep breath and went to her room. He knocked twice. No reply.He hesita

20. FAMILY DINNER

"So..."Nicola looked up from the bland soup Mary had put together for her because she could not stand any strong smell at all."So?" She raised a brow at Dominic.He held up the photo of their baby's sonogram."Don't we need to tell everyone?" He was bouncing on his feet."I will tell them in person when I get back to work on Monday." Nicola gave him a small smile. The tiniest of smiles. She couldn't wait for her people's reaction. Even though the marriage was a mess and they all wanted her to get a divorce, they would be so happy to hear that a mini Nicky was on the way."Not your staff, silly." Dominic laughed. "Our family!"Nicola's smile fell. She had forgotten about that. She had not told anyone yet, not even her sister."Stacy is not going to be happy," Nicola murmured. "I was the first one she told when she found out she was pregnant."Dominic nodded, grinning. "She'll get over it. In fact, she will be too happy about the baby to even care about the tiny detail."He was
