Chapter 06.

WHAT IF?

Brianna's POV.

Would I call it temptation? Perhaps , it was. Or maybe not. But then, that feeling to steal a glance at Milford's card lying on the table returned. I'd been trying to suppress it all along but, it wasn't just working.

Perhaps, because a real chance at me getting the kind of life I've always wanted for myself and my son was staring me right in the eyes in the form of a card and all I could do was sit and doubt if those words he said to me were true.

I mean, it was possible for anyone to walk up to me and tell me a few things about myself because I'm just like an open book for everyone to read. But why did it feel like his words were different? True, actually.

I glanced at my cellphone on the armrest of the couch and then sighed. For one, I didn't know if it was a good idea to tell Hayley about it since it was barely half an hour that we met and spoke.

    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

    Chapter 05A STRANGER.Brianna's POV. Heaving a sigh, I settled on the couch, and rubbed my hands over my pant legs for a moment before burying my face in my palms. Ten million dollars was more than enough to put me out of my misery and give me the kind of life that I've always wanted. Not just for myself, but for Jason too. As the thought crossed my mind, I lifted my gaze and glanced at him as he slept with a hand under his head. I could only imagine how much his hand would hurt by morning. Although, I would have stopped him from using his hand as a substitute for a pillow. I mean, I'd done that a few times. But then I'd to allow him to be when he began to complain of severe neck pains. When it comes to pain, there's usually no option. But I'd rather have him complain of pain on his hand than his neck. Before now, I would have taken the opportunity without a second thought. However, After my experience during Jason's delivery, I don't it's a risk I'm willing to take. Refusing the

    Chapter 04.A LIFE CHANGING OFFER.Brianna's POV.Wrapping my fingers around the warm cup of coffee which I held close to my mouth, I brought back Mr Yang's words to mind. Could it be that he knew all along that I was a single mother? On a second thought, it couldn't have been that he knew all the while. I mean, if he knew, then why didn't he say anything about it? He should have said something about it. Besides, he mentioned that he heard me call out the name a few times. That must have been the only way he got to know. But then again, what if he knew and was only trying to help me keep my secret?I exhaled sharply, as I brought the cup closer, enough for it to make contact with my lips. Hayley had gone to pay for the cups of coffee. However, I wondered what was taking her so long to return. If anything, whatever she'd to say to me better be worth it. Because I wouldn't decide to leave Jason all by himself at home and come out here just to while away time and catch up on the things

    Chapter 03.FROM BAD TO WORSE.Brianna's POV.The following day, as I arrived at work, after checking in, I went straight to Mr Yang's office. Jason was being a distraction last night, and so, we couldn't talk properly. However, to apologize for that and to know the conclusion of the meeting which was held behind closed doors, I'd to show up very early in his office. Unfortunately, arriving at his office, I was met with his absence. According to his assistant, Yvonne, he stepped out not quite long. Perhaps, he'd a few things to attend to. While waiting for him on the chair that his assistant showed me, I rubbed my hands on my pants legs and exhaled sharply. Before long, he walked in. However, as he did, he rolled up his sleeves and loosened his collar.Whatever it was that happened out there must have been serious because he didn't even notice that I was seated there. Not until he settled on his chair and met my gaze.“Miss Brooks?” he called, as if trying to be sure that it was me.

Like I said, for these reasons the company—”“Can you just listen to me Jason and come down from there!” I yelled, my voice almost rising to a scream. “You'll fall if you keep jumping on that.” “Miss Brooks, are you there?” “Yes sir, I am.” I said, exhaling sharply as I pushed my fingers through my hair. “I am so sorry sir. However, can you repeat what you were saying?” “The company has decided that—” “Mom… mom?” “What is it Jason!” I thundered, turning back to face him as a flash of temper lighted my eyes. He froze, rooted to the spot with downturned lips. Fr
