Chapter 07.

SITTING ON THE FENCE.

Brianna's POV.

“What?” I asked, with a shrug of my shoulder. “Is there something wrong? You've been looking at me like that for some time now. Is there something on my face?”

Hayley tilted her head to the side and narrowed her eyes as if trying to weigh her options. If you ask, I wasn't surprised that I got that look from her. I expected it.

No one would hear me say that my father happens to be the man who founded JetFlex and not give me that look. Of course, they'd probably think that I was out of my mind. And I believed she thought the same too.

At some point, I really thought that I was out of my mind too. But a man of that age wouldn't just walk into my house, tell me a few things, not just anything about myself, but secrets that I'd never told anyone before, and then decide to end it all with a lie. It just doesn't make any sense.

“So, you're trying to say that a man walked into your house, sat right there,” she paused, and pointed a finger a

  • The Billionaire's Long Awaited Heiress.   CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO — IT'S NOW OR NEVER!

    Chapter 22.IT'S NOW OR NEVER!Brianna's POV.Propping my head with a fist on the armrest of the couch, I tapped my heel and glanced at the clock. It was 5pm already. However, Milford mentioned that he wouldn't stay long. But he'd been gone for over an hour and there was no sign that he would return any time soon. If anything, I knew that I shouldn't have believed him. I should have gone with him to know what was going on. I exhaled sharply, and scrubbed my hands over my face. What if the situation was worse than I thought, or than I read on the newspaper earlier? My heart shook. I righted myself from the couch. Cupping an elbow with a hand, and tapping my lips with the other, I began to pace back and forth in the office. Suddenly, I froze as the door creaked open. I fixed my gaze on the door, expecting him to come him and tell me what had happened there, but he didn't. The door was opened, but there was no sign of him or anyone. As I took a step forward to check out what was goin

    Chapter 21.THERE'S TIME FOR EVERYTHING.Brianna's POV.“Here,” Milford said, offering me a cup of coffee. “It should help you relax.” “Thank you.” I received it from him, and dropped it on the center table.I watched as he walked over to the other side, and settled on the couch.“I just need a break.” he said, rolling up his sleeves. “It has been a long day.”He really didn't have to say the words. It was rather obvious from the look on his face that he was exhausted. However, since the moment he mentioned that I'd a stepbrother, I couldn't seem to get it off my mind. Just a few days back, I was told that I'd a father, one who I'd never seen my whole life. And now? I have a stepbrother, it just didn't make any sense. “Why don't you get some rest?” I suggested, with a shrug of my shoulder. “If you continue like this, there's every chance that you might break down. And I don't think you want to start nursing any sickness. Well, considering your age.” “You really don't have to get c

    Chapter 20.A NEW FAMILY.Brianna's POV.“He was sitting right there.” I said, pointing to the couch where he sat before I left the sitting room. “Where could he have gone to?” My voice shook with tears as I raked my eyes up and down the place.“Are you sure he was there before you left this place?” she asked. “It could have been that…” “Of course, I am!” I yelled, my eyes burning with tears. “I am certain that I saw him before I left this place; he was sitting right there. Where could he have gone to now?” “I am sure he's around somewhere.” she walked over to the window, and looked out through it.“Can you see him?” I asked, through the sob that strangled my throat. “Is he there?” There was some space behind her apartment which could serve as a playground.“No, he's not.” she slid the windows close, and turned to me. “I don't understand, where could he have gone to?” “Oh no, this is all my fault.” I buried my face in my palms and settled on the couch as I began to sob. “I should

    Chapter 19.DRESSING FOR THE OCCASION.Brianna's POV.“Wait… you mean you're going to meet him like this?” she asked, raising a brow. “Are you being serious right now?” There was an edge to her voice.“I don't understand.” I said, shaking my head. “Is there something wrong with my dress?” “You don't see anything wrong in what you're putting on right now?” she asked, crinkling her face at the words. “For goodness’ sake! You're going to meet with him, whoever he is in a place like JefFlex and you want to look like that?” She made a face. From the look on her face, it made me feel as though I was on rags which was of course, not true. But then, she ought to understand that we were two different people. I was barely struggling to survive and make ends meet. Not just for myself, but for Jason too. But she? She had no child to take care of. Obviously, I'm not using that as an excuse. But if I had something better to put on, then I would have considered that option even before she mentio

  • The Billionaire's Long Awaited Heiress.   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN — HAVE SOME FAITH!

    Chapter 18.HAVE SOME FAITH!Brianna's POV.“Is it ringing?” Hayley asked, in a curious tone. “It is, but he's not picking up.” I sighed, scratching my head as I paced back and forth in the room. “I don't know why.” “You might want to sit, Brianna.” she suggested. I cocked a brow, and she shrugged. Sit? Really? How in the world did she expect me to sit when it felt like my life depended on Milford picking up his phone? Besides, why now? Although I couldn't tell what was going on with him. Perhaps, he left his phone somewhere, but why wouldn't he be with his phone when I finally decided to put a call across to him.“Sit?” I scoffed, shaking my head. “I don't think I want to sit right now. I need to speak to him.” “Yes, I know.” she said, in a soft voice. “However, you can never really tell what's going on with him right now. It could be that he's also busy. I mean, he's human too, so he would have a few things to attend to. I say let's give him some minutes before we ring his line

    Chapter 17.CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.Brianna's POV.Although I couldn't say if his words were true, but for someone who sells newspapers, I don't think there was any reason for him to lie to me. I mean, that would only ruin his business. Besides, it was right there: the image of JetFlex. Even though I'd never seen it before, but it was right on the front page of the newspaper. Now that I think about it, I could have gotten it to read more about the happenings in the company.I sighed.“Are you sure you're okay?” Hayley asked, her fingers wrapped around the cup of tea sitting on her lap. “Since you got here you haven't said anything.” If I wasn't wrong, then that was the fifth, if not the sixth time that she'd asked that same question. And in that period, I don't think there was a time when I actually gave her a verbal response.All I did was smile at her, hoping that she would catch a hint, but it seemed like she was too concerned about the look on my face and my unusual silence.
