Chapter 13.

A COINCIDENCE.

Brianna's POV.

I returned inside, closed the door, and allowed my body sag against it. For a moment, I hit the back of my head against the door as tears rolled down my eyes.

How could she say those words to me? If she had it all good and rosy, that doesn't mean that she'd the right to talk to me in the manner which she did.

“Mom, is there something wrong?” Jason's voice cut through my thoughts.

If anything, I had forgotten that he was still there. Immediately, I wiped my face with the heel of my palm, but he noticed.

“Are you crying, mom?” he asked, putting the phone aside. “Did something bad happened out there? Who did you see?”

“It is nothing dear.” I said, with a smile. “There is nothing for you to worry about; I'm fine.”

“Are you sure?” he asked. “It doesn't look like you're fine to me. Besides, I heard your voice from outside. Did you get into a fight with someone?”

“You worry too much dear.” I walked to him, and settled on the couch. “Nothing happe

    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. Meanwh

    Chapter 16.A FUTURE AT STAKE.Brianna's POV.I slowly righted myself from the couch and narrowed my gaze as I glanced at my cellphone which was on the table. From where I stood, I didn't notice anything wrong with it. Or perhaps, I just didn't want to believe that something had happened to it just as Jason said. The thought that something had happened to my cellphone was what made my heart skip a beat earlier. However, I turned to him, to be sure if he knew exactly what he was saying. But then, he couldn't even meet my gaze. When things had gotten to the point where he couldn't meet my gaze, then there was something wrong. I took a step, and then another and then paused as I came close to the center table. I picked up my cellphone and glanced at it.“You have got to be kidding me.” I muttered the words under my breath, while blinking my eyes rapidly in shock.I turned to face him.“What happened to it?” I asked, with an edge to my voice. “How come it's this broken?” I could barel

    Chapter 15.THE RIGHT DECISION OR NOT?Brianna's POV.Hayley fell silent. Just by looking at her face, I could tell what thoughts were running through her mind at that particular time.“What? You don't want to?” I asked. “Even if you don't want to, he's been toying with your emotions, the least you could do is get to know who he is for real.” “I really appreciate your concern,” she said, forcing a smile. “However, I don't think I want to go down this path. I don't think it's necessary. It doesn't matter to me who he claims to be. As far as I'm concerned, it's over between us. Whatever we had, or thought we had, is now in the past.” “Are you sure you don't want to do a background check on him?” I asked, the words seemed to drag themselves from my throat. “I am sure.” she said. “Besides, even if we do a background check on him, and I find out who he really is, it doesn't make any difference. I'll only get hurt the more for being lied to and taken advantage of. I don't think I'm ready

    Chapter 14.MORE LIES.Brianna's POV.“Yes, we'll talk some other time, bye!” Hayley shut the door.She gritted her teeth and formed her hands into a fist. I noticed, but as she began to walk back to the sitting room, I turned my face away. But then, I wouldn't have imagined that she was seeing someone. She hid it so well that I never got suspicious of her, not even for once. She sighed and slumped on the couch, pressing a hand against her forehead as if she'd suddenly developed some fever. However, I wouldn't be surprised if she did because what in the world did I see some minutes back?“I am sorry you'd to see that.” she took her hand away from her forehead, and sat upright. “He should have just…” She made a deep sound in her throat with her eyes closed and hands formed into a fist. If he was right in front of her at that time, then she would have snuffed the life out of him with her bare hands. She sighed, and buried her face in her palms for a moment. I could only imagine how
