Lahat ng Kabanata ng Pregnant by My Ex-Boyfriend's Brother-in-Law : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Josie's Point of ViewWyatt!That clingy ghost!Calling at a time like this could only mean he wanted to ruin it. I cut the call and switched the phone off. Why would I answer?I tossed the phone onto the table, walked back to the window, and went on admiring the night view. I was in a good mood, and I wasn't going to let that man spoil it.About a minute passed.Ding-dong!The doorbell rang.Strange. Would room service come at this hour?I clutched the sheet around me and went toward the door. Just before I reached it, I stopped short. Could it be Wyatt?No way. Colt was right here. Would he dare be that bold? But yesterday he had been, hadn't he? In the hallway, he'd torn my clothes and forced himself on me. What wouldn't he dare?Ding-dong!Another ring.I steadied my breath and looked through the peephole. It felt like a scene from a horror movie, and I'd rather have found no one there than the person I dreaded.But the world works that way: what you fear is what shows up.Through

Josie's Point of ViewColt touched the back of his hand to my forehead. "Are you all right? Of course I meant after the child grows up. Only an idiot would think you hand over the company the day he's born."Which meant he was calling me an idiot!When it sank in, I punched him hard in the chest and walked off.He always got the better of me in conversation, and every time I came out looking like a fool.He caught up. He didn't bother coaxing me. He just wrapped an arm firmly around me, proving his possessiveness with action.This man was the truly domineering one!We returned to the castle by evening.We went to see Sophie first. She was used to being alone in the castle, so she had only shown her face at the ceremony the day before.The butler said she was upstairs in her room, so we went up together.Colt knocked twice."Come in!"Inside, Sophie sat by the window holding a cat that looked a lot like Princess, with the same fur and the same eyes. The only difference was that it was

Josie's Point of ViewMy heart thudded. I felt a wave of cold behind his smile.He'd asked it as if it were casual, but it wasn't really his question to ask. The subtext was: Are you worried about Wyatt?"If I said I'm not worried, would you believe me?" I met his eyes. If he already had his own answer, then whatever I said wouldn't be accepted, so why waste my breath on a pointless struggle?"Why wouldn't you be worried?" He looked puzzled."Ha." I laughed, as if mocking myself. "Right, why wouldn't I be? Because I have no conscience. Because I only care about being happy. I'm just a cold, heartless woman. Disappointed?"Every question he asked jabbed at my spine and left me in the wrong either way.I had thought he was angry but generous enough to let it go. Who knew he'd simply switched to something crueler, like that morning when he'd used a tie as an excuse to rebuke me after I came back from walking with Gideon.He wasn't a man who exploded and shouted. His specialty was bloodle

Josie's Point of View"You can't just indulge her like this," Colt said, one corner of his thin lips curving in a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Not spending the first New Year after the wedding at her husband's home? Outsiders will say the Hawthornes are bullying the Callahans."It sounded like he was thinking of the Callahans in terms of etiquette, but anyone who understood would understand what he really meant.Wyatt only smiled, a chill hidden in his dark eyes.Scarlett was furious. "Hmph! Bad brother! Do you think this is your home alone? That you decide everything here? I'm coming back to stay, unless Grandfather throws me out." She dragged Wyatt in front of the old man. "Grandfather, be fair. My husband, my in-laws, everyone approved of my coming home for the New Year, so why is my brother scolding me? Hic..."Grandfather comforted her. "There, there, don't cry. You may stay. Your brother is strict with you because he cares. Don't be so upset."Scarlett switched from tears t

Josie's Point of ViewOf course I understood what he meant.My new position was making babies.My new specialty was how to sleep with him.What was I, the president's twenty-four-hour on-call girl?I put on a sweet smile, leaned over, and brushed some nonexistent dust off his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm very professional. I'm only afraid I'll be too professional and you won't be able to handle it!""Challenging me on your first day. Mm, bold. I like it!" He pinched my chin, smiling happily."You like it? Really? Then shall we start now?" I hooked my arms around his neck and pressed against him like a boneless octopus, breathing perfume at his lips.The temptation made his blood surge.But this was an elevator. There was no camera, but it rose fast, and it would reach the top floor in four minutes and twenty seconds.Itching as he was, he restrained himself and pulled my hands down. "The elevator's almost there. Stop messing around.""Who's messing around? I'm seriously expanding my ar
