Chapter 2: The Deal
"W—Where's my Dad?" I asked one of our maids when she opened the door for me. It was already three in the morning when I finally got home after I left my cheater ex-boyfriend's unit.I didn't confronted them. I just left not so peacefully after recording their sex scene. Yes. I left not so peacefully because I scattered all the garbages back on the jerk's living room. I opened the faucet in his kitchen, and in the guest room. The unit was a mess when I left it, and would really love to see their reactions but no, I am not that martyr to still want to see them together after what I have just witnessed.I brought myself in a bar. It was bar for elites and yeah, I drank on my own, and that explained why I am a little tipsy right now. I am not drunk though, just tipsy. And my head is aching like shit."He's...already sleeping, Miss—""Call him." I cut her off and dropped myself on the sofa. I massaged my aching head and sighed. "Fuck this. Fuck you, Hailey and Calvin." I whispered angrily."Miss?""I said call him, Martha. Please don't make me repeat myself right now. I am in a deep shit and I don't really want to throw things at you for making me feel irritated." I scoffed. I heard her leaving steps, and it was to probably woke my father up.I sighed and shook my head.I don't mean to be rude, but really, I'm just feeling so tired right now. Like, emotionally and physically tired. All that I want to do is rest. Yes. I will do that after talking to my father. I couldn't wait for the sun to rise anymore, I have to tell my father immediately about my not so sudden decision."What is this, Brielle? Why did you woke me up, huh? Really? It's still dark outside, young lady—""It was Martha who woke you up, Daddy." I said in an obvious tone. It was true though. I just told Martha to woke him up, but I didn't do it. It was Martha who did it."Don't go sarcastic on me right now, Brielle. You told Martha to woke me up at this early hour. What's with you, huh?" Dad's stern and serious voice echoed around the quite living room. I sniffed with my eyes still closed."I'm going to tell you something...really important, Dad." I slowly opened my eyes and I saw him standing in front of me with his cold expression. His hair was disheveled and it was clear to me that he didn't like waking up at this hour. It was too early, alright. So, I couldn't blame him."Your classmate, Adi, told me that you cut class, and then you'll go home all drunk and wasted? What happened, Brielle? You must tell everything to Daddy. Whatever your problem is, I'll help you." Tears immediately shone in my eyes, I can feel it as I listen to my father's soft and gentle voice.I bit my lower lip. He sighed, and then he slowly sat next to me."What happened? I know you're not going to cut class if it's not something important.""I know that you know it already, Dad." I answered bitterly. I told him yesterday that I'll be celebrating my first anniversary with Calvin. I know that he already know where I was, but he still wanna ask. How annoying, but at the same time, I am glad and grateful that Dad's not mad at me for...cutting classes.I heard him sighed. "You celebrated your anniversary with your...boyfriend, yeah? Then why are you looking like someone just died? It wasn't the expression that I expected to see from you. You should be happy. You've reached a year with him."I scoffed bitterly when I remembered the asshole and the bitch. I guess, Daddy was right about him indeed. I should've just...break up with him, yeah?But I really thought that he's different from all those boys who only want nothing from girl's but their virginity. Turns out, he's one of those assholes who doesn't know how to be contented too.I should've listened to Dad, then. I should've.I sighed and shook my head. I was feeling drunk and tipsy earlier, but it suddenly vanished when I remembered those two."You know what, Dad? I'm accepting the deal." I turned to him. "I'm going to marry that Logan Achilles Sullivan. I accept the deal to marry him." I added. When he heard Mr. Sullivan's name, he immediately turned his head towards me. His eyes were as wide as saucers while looking at me like I just grew two heads with me."What? Why...I mean, yeah, why? What's the reason why you suddenly—""It doesn't matter, Dad. I just want to be married to him this instance.""Right away! I'm gonna call him!" He exclaimed, delight and excitement were clearly showing on his face.I sighed, biting my lower lip.I don't know what did I just do, but one thing's for sure. My life will start to change at this very moment."Where were you yesterday? I called you countless of times—""Yes. You called me, Calvin. But, it was such a mystery because your phone number didn't even registered in my call logs even though you called me countless of times, yeah?" I smiled softly at him, trying so hard not to go extremely sarcastic with the asshole.He blinked his eyes repeatedly. His mouth opened but no words came out, and he just stared at me with an obvious panic in his face."Hmm?" I hummed before crossing my arms."Ah, that, maybe you accidentally deleted it? Were you mad at me? Well, I was mad at you too for forgetting our anniversary." I almost scoffed with the way he showed me his puppy face like it would work on me. Hell, no. He looks like a stray dog, begging for my attention right now."Hmm, whatever. Just live me alone right now." I said dismissingly before I turned my back at him.I heard him called me but I didn't listen. I just rolled my eyes as I opened the door of the cafeteria.The noise immediately greeted my ears. There were a lot of students already, and that makes me feel irritated even more. I was frowning as I made my way to the counter to obviously order, but then I stopped on my track when Hailey showed up in front of me with Adi who was already grinning like a fool.Adriana doesn't have something to do with all these shits, so I'm gonna spare her from the hate. But, Hailey? Na-uh. The bitch can't have an ounce of kindness in me right now. And maybe, forever."Brielle! I missed you! I was so sick yesterday that I wasn't able to show up. By the way, Adi told me that you celebrated your first anniversary with Calvin yesterday. How was it?" She was sporting a very wide smile as she talk animatedly to me, but I didn't even smiled at her.Can you believe it? The bitch has a lot of faces to show, really. Like, what the fuck? How could she act like an angel in front of me after fucking with my boyfriend on the day of our first year anniversary? She must be really feeling so great right now, thinking that they both fooled me already, when in fact, I'm no fool. Not anymore. And I'll make sure to destroy them in any way that I can."It was fun." I said nonchalantly and even rolled my eyes. Adi and Hailey saw that. They look shock, but I just shrugged and left them there standing."What happened, Adi?" I heared Hailey asked Adi and I just smirked.Oh dear, nothing has happened yet. But soon, something will. To you and to my ex cheater boyfriend.Chapter 75"Are you sure you're going to watch, Miss?" My heart pounded for no reason as I stared at the file that Matias found about Anita. I only nodded shortly, even though my heart was pounding so hard for some reason. I feel nervous. Matias let our a deep sigh before clicking it. The video played and all that I did was to freeze on my seat as I continue to watch the scene in front of me. It was a scandal of Anita with a man. It was familiar. He was familiar to me. I know that physiques! I know it and I know that I'm not wrong!I bit my lower lip and signalled Matias to stop the video. He did, and I immediately looked away."I've seen enough today, Matias." I said, touching my forehead and slightly massaging it. "I... want to go home."That's what I did. Matias quietly sent me home with the bodyguards that Logan hired for me. "Are you okay, babe?" Logan immediately asked me as soon as he arrived in the penthouse. Kierro is inside his room with Mateo, probably playing in there.
Chapter 74So, how could he explain those hickeys I saw on his neck? The red lipstick that saw on the collar of his shirt? How about the times were him and Anita going together was broadcasted to the world? How about those times, huh? The time he spent more on Anita. What was that all? That was all nothing then? "I know you're still doubting me, babe, but allow me to explain everything to you once these are all over, hmm?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion when I heard him. "Let me handle everything, baby. Please. I just want you and our son to be safe and sound."I am indeed confused with him. I tried to ask him further more, but he refused to answer me. He said that the right time where he'll explain everything to me is already approaching, and all that I have to do is to wait for that moment.Days passed and Logan still didn't allow me to only have five bodyguards everytime I go out for work. Even Kierro, our son, has his own bodyguards which really quite amazes me. Looks like Log
Chapter 73I woke feeling so exhausted that I felt like my body ran a whole marathon in my dreams. The first that I saw as I opened my eyes was the white ceiling that I have to think again if I'm awake or I'm just really in heaven. I could hair faint voices beside me as I tried to keep my eyes open while observing the surroundings that I am currently in. I still fell sleepy despite of the fact that I just woke up. So I asked myself what really happened?And it hit me. I was ambushed and I was alone with Mateo in the car. I thought it was my end when those people started cornering us while pointing their guns at us, but no. Fortunately, Logan was exactly on time, arriving judt to save me. To save the person that loathes him. I really did got shot on my left leg. It wasn't too fatal, but it was enough for me to be brought in the operating room. Hence, the reason for my weak body now. It must've because of the wound and the medicine that they injected on me. "Momma! You're awake! Momm
Chapter 72"This is fucking ambush, Miss!" Mateo shouted as I heard the screeching of cars from behind us. Mateo just kept on driving even with gunshots following us behind. I was crying, still as I curled myself on the backseat. I covered my ears when the bullets started penetrating the window. Mateo's cuss kept getting louder and louder. Two black cars were following us while they were firing their guns at us too. I didn't know for how long did I endured the noise of the firing guns, but the next thing that I knew was that our car stopped. A loud screech illuminated as I heard Mateo's defeated sigh. I cried more, knowing that there's a big chance that I won't be alive tonight anymore. It scares me. So fucking much. The death, but this is truly inescapable anymore. I wouldn't be seeing my son anymore. Will he be safe with Logan? Will my baby cry once he found out that his mother died in an ambush? He will. Oh God, Kierro will be sad and frustrated. He will probably blame himself
Chapter 71: Shot "What? Cat got your tongue, Brielle? Yes, it's true. I am fucking carrying Logan's child, that's why I am being desperate. My child doesn't deserve to grow up without his father. My baby deserves a father, and that's Logan." I stood still, and I admit that what she said shook my whole world. It made my body cold, freezing for seconds. The anger surged in my system again. The anger for the both of them. For the betrayal that they did to me. If I were the Kierran Brielle that I was used to. The Kierran Brielle who was selfish and doesn't care about anything else. The Kierran Brielle before Kierro came into my life, I would've fucking beat her up into pulp 'till she bleed herself up. But no, I am not like that. If it's true that she's pregnant with Logan's child, then I'm not gonna do anything to harm it. After all, the baby's innocent from his or her parent's betrayal.I am angry. So fucking angry right now, but I don't want to give Anita the satisfaction of seeing i
Chapter 70 The next day, I have to go to the company and take charge again. I can't just stop taking care of it. I still have to do my duty as as the new handler of my father's company. I have to take care of it, while I'm busy finding out about Claire's real intention too. Logan and Kierro sent me to the company. I didn't want to leave my baby alone with him, but I didn't have any other choice. And besides, Kierro doesn't even want to look at me, and it seems like he already trust his father so much, so I decided to leave him with Logan. When I got inside the office, I immediately received a text message from Logan saying that he's back home with Kierro. He even said that they'll go swimming today which I agreed. I got busy with the papers in the office that I didn't notice the time. It was already 11:30 AM, so I decided to stand up to have lunch since I was already feeling kinda hungry, but when I opened the door, Anita's angry face greeted me. My lips parted before I slowly
