Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 107

NICOLE

“It’s Haley,” Mason claims. “I would recognize her handwriting anywhere. Writing notes was kind of her thing.”

Of course. Who else would it be?

“What do you mean by ‘kind of her thing’?”

“I mean she’d leave notes everywhere.”

He turns away and goes to throw the note in the trash. I tell him, “Wait! Maybe we should call the police or something!”

“She’s probably just being bitter,” he claims dismissively.

“Mason! This is serious. She’s threatening to kill me.”

“She’s trying to scare you,” he insists. “It only works if you let it work. Plus, if we call the police, what proof would we have that it’s her? Think about it. We’d be wasting their time and ours, and in the end, she’d still win.”

“So, we’re just supposed to ignore her and wait for the worst to happen.”

My brother sighs, exasperated. “Nothing bad will happen.

Just calm down and trust me, alright?”

I force myself to breathe. Yes, it would definitely be worseif it were Carmen who was delivering these notes, but I’m-still alarmed. Damn, Haley. Why’s she bothering with all this? I’m not the one who forced her to cheat.

She’s truly out of control.

“If this happens again, then we’ll call the cops,” he claims before opening the bin and pulling out the note he just dumped. “I’ll do it myself. Just don’t worry about anything.

“Have you seen her?” I ask suspiciously. “Where is she now?”

“No idea, I haven’t seen her since she left.”

“How come she’s harassing me and not you?” I ask after a second thought.

Mason chuckles, shaking his head at me. “What kind of question even is that, Nicole?”

“I don’t mean it in a stupid way,” I reply defensively. “I just mean that you’re the one who kicked her out of the apartment. Why’s she blaming me?”

her myself.” I’m alarmed by his words because I’ve never heard my brother use such an expression before. His tone of voice is also off. His eyes meet mine, and he tells me, “I rarely tell you this, but you mean the world to me, Nicole.

You’re my little sister. My family. I’ll always be on your side, no matter what.”I make my way toward him and we hug. My eyes start to tear up. Suddenly, I become convinced of what I have to do. Everything becomes clear to me. “What if we found out that our lives aren’t what we think they are?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” he questions before stepping back. There’s a furrow between his brows.

I fold my arms. “Oh, Mason. I found out the weirdest thing today and at first, I contemplated not telling you, but now, I’m convinced that you have the right to know.”

He leans against the kitchen island. “Know what?”

“I şpoke to Katie today.”

“Right. How is she?”
