The Binding [Book 1]

"So what are you gonna do Jake?" Rayan asked sitting on one of the leather seats. We were in my office just discussing about the Jaden situation.

"I don't know. From what I've figured Charlize used to work for some rich old lady and Jaden was a fire fighter. So I'll have Chres take in Jaden at FireArms. And I'll make Charlize my assistant."

Rayan nodded." Why are you being so nice?"

"Im not a bad person Ray. The sooner Charlize realises that better." I was even considering putting Willow into one of my mothers hospitals just to spite Jaden.

"With all your money bro you could buy Charlize the whole fucking world." Rayan said pouring more brandy into his glass.

"Yeah right." We were interupted by a knock on the door. Rachel, my soon to be fired assistant opened the door and told me someone was here to see me. I told her to let the person in and she nodded.

"Oh shit." Rayan and I both mumbled. I am royally fucked at the moment because my ex girlfriend Jasmana just walked in. She looks gorgeous if I have to admit and I am not worthy to look upon her.

"Jacob." She addressed.

"Jasmana." She glared at Rayan and he instantly got up from his chair and excused himself, leaving Jasmana and I in the room.

"So I heard Charlize is in town."

"Jas why don't you sit down." I offered. She shook her head and told me she was only here for a brief second.

"So what's up?" I asked.

"Jacob I think Im pregnant." My jaw dropped for a second as I processed what she just told me.

I regained composure and asked her a questiom. "You think or you're absolutely certain?"

"I'm three months pregnant Jacob."

"Jas is it even-"

"Don't you dare say it aint yours because you know damn well that it's your baby." Jasmana stared me down for what felt like hours. I won't even begin to lie and say that the baby isn't mine. Jas and I broke up recently, about two months ago and I never touched any other girl besides her. Oh my shit I am screwed.

"So what do you want from me Jas?"

"I don't want to raise this baby alone." She said.

Charlize

It's been four days and I haven't seen Jacob. Im starting to think he's mad at me or he's ignoring me. I sighed as I hopelessly flipped my iPhone over and over again in my hands. Am I high on air? I'm sweating my ass off waiting for my damn phone to ring. Ten minutes later after giving up hope, a single ring revived me. The text was from Jacob and I quickly read it.

Jacob: Sorry for not texting or calling babygirl. Just had a lot of work to do. Forgive me.

Me: I thought you were ignoring me or something?

Jacob: I would never do that to you. In fact I have nice surprise for you.

Me: Wanna give me a hint?

Jacob: Nope.

Me: Please!

Jacob: Just meet me at FireArms today. Let's say at five?

Jacob: Bring your friends also. Oh and Jaden. I love you babygirl
