Brie kept banging on the door and yelling for help but to no avail. She was cleaning Kendrick’s room and spotted a small door at the far left corner of the room. She hadn’t noticed the door there for the number of times she had been in that room. Curiosity got the best part of her and she opened the door to see what was there unfortunately for her she got locked inside. It was a small elevator that led to the roof top but for now it was faulty.Alyssa wasn’t hearing her shouts because she was in the laundry room that was far from where Brie was. Her phone wasn’t on her at that moment as well because Brie had been calling but no answer. Aryan’s phone was off too. She was at the verge of having another panic attack which would be worse than the previous one. The only person who could help was her husband and she needed him so.she called his number. It rang once , then twice before he answered. “ Help me,” she managed to say in between sobs.“ Where are you? Is everything okay? What h
“ I’m sorry I couldn’t come check on you boo-boo,” Aryan said pulling her cheeks. Padma and Aryan had come over to pay her a visit after she told them about what had happened to. Aryan wasn’t so much in shock because he knew about her being claustrophobic, but Padma wasn’t aware that’s whys she was so much worried about the well being of her friend. “ I’m glad you’re fine Brie, I really am.” she smiled. “ Thanks Padma, it was a scary experience considering the fact that no one’s lines were going through except Kendrick,” she smiled at the mention of his name.“ Seems both of you are getting cozy,” Aryan wiggles his eyebrows making her blush.“ Yeah, but I’m afraid he may go back to his of ways soon.” she sighed. “ You could stick to pretend suspicious phone calls and messages,” Padma suggested. “ That’s actually not a bad idea, we can also go out on dinner dates too. But let’s put the date part on hold for now and proceed with the calls. I’d let you know when to start,” Brie stat
“ You’re up early and all dressed today any occasion?” Kendrick asked pecking his wife on her face.“ I have work,” she answered briefly.“ Work? Are you traveling to LA again?” he asked lost. She hadn’t said anything concerning her achievement after he found out he had opened a nail salon for his sister.“ No, I work here in LA.” “ But..”“ I know, I found someone who helped me with my dream of having another branch of my company here, something I asked for your help for how many months? But nada,” she bit her lip to prevent her from spilling that she knew he had opened a nail salon for her sister. “ I was working on it Brie, I got some contacts and all. By the way who helped you?” he shamelessly asked. “ Really? Really Kendrick? You were working on it? How long did it take you to——never mind.” She cut it short not wanting to go there but he had to press on.“ To what Brie? Finish your sentence goddammit,” he banged his fist on the table making her flinch.“ HOW LONG DID IT TAKE Y
Briella and her husband had started living like strangers against and this time around it was worse than before. Kendrick hardly joined her for dinner talkless of coming home on a regular and on time. Brie spent most of her time on work and going out once a while with her friends. She was seriously thinking of moving out into an apartment she had acquired for herself because her home had become too suffocating. She had discontinued the plan she had with Aryan because it had become too draining. She didn’t have the heart to carry out with it and decided to call it off. She had accepted the fact that her sister was now her rival. She saw Sage almost everyday in her house. She did what she liked to her and said what she liked and it didn’t seem to bother Kendrick. Brie sat infront of the piano. She had dusted it and decided to play something on it to soothe her nerves since it had been a while she played “ In the stars” by Benson Boone. It was her favorite song after her mom and Kid
“ I haven’t seen him either Alex, I thought he was on a business trip, but even that he would have informed me or Alyssa but this time around he didn’t, I’ve been trying his phone but he’s not answering my calls,” she said to his friend. It had been weeks after the piano incidence and she hadn’t seen her husband since then. He hadn’t been taking her calls nor returning them either. She didn’t know what was going on or what had happened and that was making matters worse than they already were. “ I hadn’t heard from him as well, and he isn’t picking my calls as well, where could he have gone to?” Alex asked confused. He had noticed his wife had become a shadow of herself. She had lost a couple of pounds and that spark in her eyes wasn’t there no more. Kendrick, your wife is hurting. You’ve punished her enough, where are you? Alex said to himself.Her sister-in-law had come to stay over for a couple of weeks. Kendrick’s mom had asked she did that while they continued to search for his
A month has passed , yet Kendrick hadn’t come back home and had stop answering calls from his mom. He had changed his number so his line remained unreachable.Brie tried each and every day to get by. She tried burying herself in work like how she did when her mom and brother died. But in this case the work load was too much. At first, Kendrick was handling his work though his was MIA but now he had totally abandoned work and his employees. So herself, Syd and Alex were the ones currently running it. Alex’s participation wasn’t much because he also had a business to ran and it wasn’t his obligation. Brie was luckily to have understanding partners and team members on her team, so there was no pressure whatsoever in running her company. “ Here are the files you asked Ma’am” Kendrick’s prompted her.“ That’s Nancy, what’s on our schedule today?” she asked her as Syd walked into the office. “ We have a meeting with the board at 12pm, hopefully it would be virtual, then at 2pm we have a
“ Dad?!” Briella walked into the house pushing her step mother to the side. She was here for her money and there was no way she was leaving without it today. “ Mr Scott-Roberts!” she yelled on top of her voice as her dad descended the staircase to the living room.“ What?!” he angrily asked.“ I am here for my money and I need it now!” " Come back in like a year or two,” he waved his hands dismissively.“ Excuse me? Could you repeat yourself again?” she clenched her fists. “ I invested it in my business and I have to give it two years to grow, now shoo, run along,” he annoyed her the more. Scott could she the smirk on his wife’s face and that was what he had wanted anyway.Truth is her money was still intact at where it was. He just wanted to draw his wife’s attention off it so he could secretly send it to his daughter. If only she could be patient enough. He thought to himself.“ Mom left that for me! Not for you, how could you?! We had a deal and I have fulfilled my part why is
You’d better watch your back!Briella stood infront of her company reading the note that had been spelled with blood. Their company was barely a year and it was doing great, in fact better than most airline companies in Las Vegas and it was drawing attention to them. As much as it was drawing positive vibes, it was also drawing negative ones too. They were making enemies pretty fast.“ Oh my gosh! what happened here?!”Padma exclaimed asking her friend. “ I just got here Padma, I am as confused as you are,” she answered looking around to see if they would find the security somewhere. Briella heard grunts coming from the side of the building and Padma followed closely. Two of their security men had been gunned down and it was probably their blood that was used to issue out that warning. She calmly checked for their pulse to see if they were alive.“ Padma…dial 911,” she heaved a sigh of relieve when she felt their pulse after a few minutes. Padma dialed the number with shaky hands and
