BRIANNA'S POVThere was only one word for how the past week had been and it was —Shambles!One could say I was a living shadow of my old self, and thanks to Michel he had totally out done himself making a mess out of me.That was what was, a total mess…I had dragged my feets through the tiled floor, ignoring the looks I got from maids and the greetings as well.The past one week had been nothing but hell for me as I was trying everything I could do with the situation at hand.The way the sun felt on my face, the fresh air—The taste of coffee like I had always loved it every morning, everything felt to me new.“Are you fine ma'am. ” one of the maids asked.Something in me whispered that she was not only asking for the state of my physical look but also how I was mentally as well, the whole feeling gave me goosebumps."Yes I am.” I replied , faking a smile. The truth was I wasn't, as a matter of fact I was far from being fine but like they say the truth is always a hard pill to swal
MICHELSON POVWasn't it said that good music heals the soul?The music playing softly through the stereo was in a way depressing and there was no way to say why it was this way.I had picked that same music, I had always picked out any other days but today it did look like I was listening to a totally different song— It was like I was listening to it in a different way or perhaps hearing the tunes of the music differently .Either way I was not enjoying an but of this and in a way the way she was treating me was quite expected.The more I tried to take my mind away from all of this the more it became dawn on me that I might as well be a murderer.With own hands, I had committed this attrocities.In a way i wondered if she would ever forgive me, I would give anything as a matter of fact everything just for her forget everything but even to someone totally deranged that would be quite impossible.There was only way I could get my mind off all of this, and that was for me distract mysel
Michelson POVWhat in the hell I was doing. I thought to myself at the last-minute.At that time I was heading down the road, far away from where anyone could see me, it looked like I was drifting down the bowel of hell in my mind.There was a need to stop. I had to bring everything to a stopI tried to hit the brakes on the car.Fuck…I kept on pushing the brakes but it didn't work.All of a sudden I was starting to regret the fact that I decided to go down this path, I was regretting doing this at all as it felt like a very drastic action.What am I doing here?It felt like I was visiting another world, as the city passed before my fresh eyes as I drove deeper.I kept hitting the brakes as the car sped through, going off on the road with the same speed I had started with.As I neared the dead end , I thought about getting out of the car.The belt seems jammed, the door -I felt the wind in my face as it looked as though I was about to embrace death.Just then at the last minute,
BRIANNA'S POVHow fast was it to stop loving when it turns toxic?For me as fast as my heart beat in seconds.It had taken me nothing to make up my mind, perhaps two weeks of locking my door against myself and crying till I could feel my eyes go red with burning tears.This was not about compiracy but I was prepared to get through everything…As a matter of fact I wanted half of everything as well.Half of his wealth was going to make me obviously one of the richest female in the city and in a way it wouldn't affect him.For the next couple of hours all we did was talk about what I wanted—Which was to get away from the marriage as fast as I could.She has talked about it being more longer process and for all of cared I was ready for how messy it was going to become.Every part of me wanted to stay away from him.He was toxic this man, seeing him this morning reminded me of how much I hated him, it was quite a remindwr of why I wanted so bad to stay away from him.My husband was only
POV: BRIANNA BOONE"Welcome to Oahu. I hope you enjoy your stay, Miss Boone." The receptionist said with a smile brighter than a nuclear blast.I sighed, "It's Brianna." She blinked t me as if my suggestion had somehow broken her. "Just Brianna."She handed me my keys and I took the elevator to the hall leading to my room. I got inside and slumped on the bed. The sharp talons of sleep drew patterned lines along my backbone. There was no use fighting it. I came here to relax and I planned on doing so starting tomorrow.The whole island was alive with activities. Activities that were so easy to ignore. The only place I needed to be that morning was the spa. Finding it took longer than I expected but the minute I did, it made the wasted time worth it.I got the full treatment and by the time I walked out of the place some hours later, I felt like a human once again. A huge part of my pent-up tension had somehow magically seeped out of my bones. I guess I have Olga, the masseuse, to than
POV: Brianna Boone"Are you sure, doc?" I asked, dry mouthed.He sighed as if repeating it one more time would somehow shorten his lifespan. "Yes, Bri. You're pregnant." I took a moment to let his words sink in. To let the severity of his words sink in. "Wait, what?” I breathed out as the shock of the news made everything inside of me to rise.To be fair, I suspected that was going to be his verdict. But, it didn’t make this any less shocking. Constant nausea and irritation to pretty much everything during the past week was a giveaway. I'd convinced myself it was nothing big. Just flu or fever, even though deep down, I knew it might be this– pregnancy.The doctor left me there to gather myself because he could tell I was distraught by the news. I thought about nothing else but the possibility of being a mother. That was something I wasn't prepared for. I am a twenty-four year old, single young adult. I still pretty much feel like a child.How can I be pregnant? I mused silently as I
POV: Michaelson TrevorThis particular morning, I thought about the woman from the island, whom i had hooked up with, about a month ago. She had been a shadow in my mind for so long. Gone but somehow there in a dark corner, just lurking. It’s almost absurd. It was a freaking one night stand for heaven’s sake, a sexual agreement which I’m used to because I’ve done it countless times.But somehow, this emerald eyed woman was different.Perhaps, it was because of how she had begged sweetly while I was fucking her out of her mind. Or, was it because of how she had tasted? Or how ridiculously stunning she had looked each time she was orgasming.I shook my head to get rid of those lewd thoughts. I knew thinking about her was a dangerous thing to do but it wasn’t like I could automatically shut of my brain from thinking whenever I wanted to.As I lay on my bed all alone, I craved a piece of what I had enjoyed that night. Even just a fragment would have done.I picked up my phone by my side
POV: Brianna BooneI got home in a frenzied state, cursing, and struggling to get a hold of myself. I know I had just thrown away the chance of a lifetime. It was the only opportunity I had to tell the father of my unborn child that I was expecting his baby, it wasn’t like I was looking forward to bringing up a child on my own. Walking away from that golden opportunity only meant I was fine being a single mother, which I most definitely wasn’t.The reality that I couldn't go back to the office just yet hit me later that night. Running into him again would be devastating, because telling from how big he seem, he definitely won’t appreciate any pregnancy from a one night stand from a girl he knows nothing about, and might even try forcing me to abort the child. Yup, i definitely do have to stay away from him now.There was only one thing to do now...Taking another break from work after my week-long vacation in Oahu wasn't a piece of cake because Stevie, my boss, adored me and he value
