Amanda's POVBelinda called me and told me my ex-mother-in-law wanted to fight my ex-father-in-law in court. My mother-in-law was always very excited about her son and never wanted to hear anything wrong about Jake. They even tried to pay me to get rid of the child. I cannot do that, and I do not know if I will talk to her. I have nothing to say to her. All of a sudden, she wants to see me, and she wants me to take her case against Jake and his father. She always thought that I was not good enough for her son. So why should I help her now? I do not know what to think about that woman, and I do not know what to tell Belinda as I stare at her as if I don't know what to do."I will understand if you do not want to take the case. You are our leading divorced lawyer here, and I will not take her case because I do not have the time to do that. My family comes first. It is all up to you if you want to take her case. I am not going to force you. You are my sister, and if it is uncomfortable f
Amanda's POVI am waiting for my ex-mother-in-law to walk into the office. I know it is going to be very difficult to see her. She thought her son was better than me. It still hurts. But what can I do? This is a simple business transaction. And I have to see it that way. She will be my client, and I will help her in any way to get what she needs. I have to fight for her to get what is rightfully hers. Besides, I want to get back at Jake for what he did to me and tried to do to my sister and Chase."Amanda, I'm so glad you're willing to help me. I heard that you have been doing fantastic lately. I heard you have become one of the best lawyers in town. First, I want to apologize for the way I have treated you. I thought you were not good enough for my son all these years. I did not realize that you were too good for my son. My son didn't deserve a wife like you. I was a bitch and not a good mother-in-law. I will admit it. I am ashamed of myself. I know you always loved my son and though
Amanda's POVWe want to get this divorce case over and done with as far as possible. We have enough evidence, and I know it will be a very public divorce case. Everybody knows the Greens. I have just divorced their son, and now I am representing the mother against the father. I know the paparazzi are going to drive me crazy. However, I do not care. I have to get this done and over with. I have become used to the paparazzi following me and always screaming questions. What can I do? I'm starting to show heavily now, and I know that I will have to take maternity leave soon. Today is the first day we are going to court. As I have a prenup, my ex-father-in-law does not have a case, but he will try anything to keep my ex-mother-in-law's money. This should be an open and closed case.The judge sides with us and the cases before we know it. Jake and his father were in the court, but his father had another lawyer as he did not trust his son. I cannot blame him. What can I say? He is not one of
Nick's POV The more I see Amanda, I realize I have fallen in love with her. Even though she is showing heavily now, she has become even more beautiful to me. I never thought that I could fall in love with a pregnant woman. I do not want to admit it to my father yet because I know how my father is. He will push me until I lose Amanda. I do not want to lose her. I want her to believe that I love her. I do not care that she is carrying another man's child. I will make that child mine. My father does not care because he will not judge another person by their past. He will at last suffer grant child to brag about. It will not matter to him whether the child is mine or not. It does not even matter to me. All I want is to be with Amanda for the rest of my life. I cannot think about my life without her. Since I've met her, I have not seen another woman. I know that my father has noticed it and given me more responsibilities in the restaurant. I think my father knows that I have grown up. And
Nick's POVI take my picnic basket and walk to Amanda's office. I know she most probably saw everything that happened. I hope she is not angry with me. I couldn't help it. But that man gets under my skin. When will he realize that he cannot just do whatever he wants to and bother whoever he wants to? He is not a man of honor. He did not want his child, and he did not want anything to do with his wife, who was carrying his child, all because of money. Now, he's on the verge of losing all the money he thought he would inherit someday. He has become ugly, and I wouldn't say I like it. I do not like the way he is treating Amanda. It is time that somebody put him in his place. I know he will have a hard time with the paparazzi now, as everybody knows he is losing the case he proclaims he will win. Also, everybody knows now that he has been lying about the baby and that the baby is his. Well, I am not going to allow him near the child, not even if he wants to be close to the child, because
Amanda's POVI am flabbergasted I do not know what they say. How many nights of highlighting my beat? Thinking about Nick Bradley. How many nights have I cried myself to sleep because I know that I have fallen in love with him? And there is nothing that I can do about it. He will never fall in love with a pregnant woman. Or so I thought. Now he's telling me that he is in love with me. What do I believe? How do I believe it? Is it true, or is he just thinking he is in love with me? I do not know if I can believe this. The only person I ever told how I feel about Nick is Belinda because she is the one to whom I reveal all my secrets. "Amanda, tell him how you feel. I am sure Nick is sincere. I have never seen Nick like this before, and I can tell you one thing: he has not had another affair since he became your so-called boyfriend. It took a lot of courage for Nick to come here and tell you he loves you. He even stood up for you now. I just came to check on you to see if you are both o
Amanda's POV"Why don't we just get you a princess dress? I think you will look perfect in a princess-cut dress. It will also hide your tummy if you don't want anybody to see it. I must admit that the first dress that you wore on with your wedding with Jake looked a little slutty," Belinda says honestly."It was a little slutty. I was just so hard trying to impress Jake that I did not think about myself. I never want to become that woman again. At least this time, I know Nick has no one but me in his heart. He convinced me. I know how it feels now to be loved by a man who loves you," I say."You were a different person back then. You were trying to impress the man you thought you were in love with. I am glad that you found true love. Nick is nothing like Jake. Jake is all about the money, while Nick has the money. Jake might even pretend the baby is Nick's, and he will try to sue Nick in court. We all know how that will turn out, but it will not stop Jake. Sometimes, I wish there woul
Nick's POV"You made me the happiest man on Earth today. I cannot believe I will have a daughter-in-law and a grandson. I know what everybody says. I know they think the wedding is too sudden and that you are the father of Amanda's baby. But I do not care what they say. As long as you do not mind, and as long as you are happy and in love, I am the happiest man in the world," My father says. It is close to the restaurant for today, as the wedding will occur here. We didn't want something too big as we don't want everybody to come that is not welcome. Only our closest friends and family will be there, and we will serve them dinner in the restaurant. I am glad it's not a big wedding because I know I am not a man that likes soon too much attention on myself. I know Amanda is sick of all the attention that she has gotten in the last few weeks. Jake has not made things easy for her, either. I am glad that Belinda is there to protect her."I hope Jake and that bitch that is always hanging ou
