She's not the one I wanted but I married her anyway. 19.
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

“ Could you give me a moment to think?!” she yelled out in frustration. Nexus was asking her for money again and she had no idea where to get the sum of money he was asking for.These were moments when she wished Kendrick was here. He would have signed out a check for her without further questions, but now no one knew where he was at the moment. He wasn’t even taking her calls nor answering her messages.There was no way in hell that she was closing her business to give the money to Nexus. She had to come up with another plan which didn’t include her touching the profit she had made or selling the shop.“ You’d better think fast,” he muttered.“ Excuse you?! What the hell have you been doing with the monies I have been giving to you to invest in the business? What of the hoe you’ve been banging can’t she bring something to the table as well?” Sage asked taking him by surprise.How the hell did she know he was seeing someone else aside from her?“ Hoe? Which hoe?” he played dumb.“ Hah

“ Sir, she’s fine.” the man reported through the phone.“ Good continue to keep an eye on her.” the man replied dropping the call.“ Come to think of it Syd, doesn’t your brother bother about his company?” Briella asked out of the blue. That question had been on her mind for a while and she needed answers to it. It seemed as if he didn’t are about any other thing but himself at that moment.“ Brie, I am as confused as you. I don’t know what’s up his sleeve but…I just don’t know.” she finished.Eventually Syd would leave to start her own life. She wouldn’t always be there to run the business. And what if Briella got fed up and left?“ For once, he should stop being selfish and think of others. I am the victim in this whole shenanigans, but here I am, slaving away for a man who doesn’t care,” she lay on the couch.Brie, Syd and Padma decided to have the day off just to unwind. There wasn’t much to be done at the office anyways. Padma and Brie’s company was still undergoing some investig

“... can I join you?” a man asked behind her. She ignored his question but he sat anyway. Brie wasn't at the club or where Padma had seen her. She had walked a little further from the club drowning the music out.There was a bench a few feet away from a stream and that was where she was seated throwing pebbles into the stream and enjoying the view as well. She was enjoying the silence until she had company.Can't I ever have some alone time just for a few minutes? she wondered.“ Hi, I am Aaron Rodgers, and you?” the man asked again after his initial question was ignored.“ Brie, I'm Brie nice to meet you, Alex,” she answered rising on her feet to take her leave.“ Am I that boring or annoying?” he asked after he noticed she was leaving.Very annoying. She thought but she wasn't going to say that to his face.“ No, but my friends must be worried and looking for me. We came to the club together...I gotta go let them know I am alright,” she explained.“ I could walk you if you don't mind
