Briar’s POV

“Is there something that I am missing, Briar?” Liam inquired calmly.

I cleared my throat loudly, “You aren’t missing anything, Liam. I just don’t think I want to relocate to somewhere like Atlanta. I would just rather be here. You can assign someone else to the project.”

Liam tapped his feet on the floor, moving his head slowly as if listening to some music. The silence was beginning to get on my nerves, I could feel my insides churning. The atmosphere in the room went from cheery

    Briar’s POV“Where is he? Where is my baby?” I yelled the moment I sighted Liam. He appeared too slow giving me a response which prompted me to rush over to Gina who was sobbing profusely. “What happened to my baby? Talk to me, Gina!” “I don’t know, ma’am. We had just returned from his school and I was making him lunch when he collapsed. I am sorry.” She wailed. Liam held me back, “Calm down, Briar. Please. He is being attended to by the doctor. Let’s just wait.” “It might be nothing serious,” Adrian said, making his way towards us. “Why are you here?” Liam asked him. I ruffled my hair, throwing my arm out. “He drove me down here.” “She didn’t seem to be in a good state to drive herself. It’s why I helped.” He responded. A doctor soon approached us, “Is this Knox Smith’s family?” The lady inquired. I stepped forward, wiping off the tears that stayed glued to my face. “I am his mother. You can talk to me.” “Your boy has autoimmune hemolytic anemia.” I was about to ask what she

    Briar’s POVI did a sharp intake of breath at the sight of the building. I am haunted by it and it’s only been a few days since our encounter. I know being flexible is the most expected act of a designer, but in my entire experience, I have only had to work on the interior of resorts, hotels, restaurants, and housing projects. Working on a dialysis center isn't exactly something I would have envisioned. That sounds silly of me and I feel bad. However, I am forced to think up different ways to not make it appear grey nor too colorful. Even though Liam is offering to help, I can’t ask too much of him. At least not until I have done the full inspection and come up with a moodboard. I was only able to cover a few rooms the last time I came by. Looking at the whole mass of brick, I am amazed by the intention behind it. I heard it’s a charity space. The sponsor wants it open to the public and to help families find relief in nurturing their loved ones back to life. The more reason I am cha

    Adrian’s POV“We are here,” I announced even though it was unnecessary and she could definitely see the house in front of her.“Aren’t you going to come in for some tea or wine?” Mum requested. I arched a brow. “Now you have me confused. Those are two odd options.” “Something had to be said right? Come in with me please.” She said, getting out of the car. I shut my eyes tightly and took in a deep breath. It’s been such a long day. I had to let Maxwell go when I was heading out for dinner. It’s like I knew it wasn’t going to end without any drama. When Mum asks to have a moment, she plans to be nosy. And I am not sure I want to deal with that right now. Still, that didn’t stop me from getting out of the car. “Welcome sir.” Judith the help greeted me as I walked in. “What would you like me to offer you?” “Some wine will just do, thank you.” “Alright, sir. Mrs Sterling is in her study room.” “Okay.” Exhaling slowly, I went into the study. Mum sat in her favorite armchair staring o

    Author’s POV“I need to use the restroom,” Adrian announced excusing himself. Melissa Sterling and Isadora watched him disappear behind the restaurant. Melissa chuckled to herself when she caught the look on Isadora’s face. “You find him that appealing?” Isadora flushed, patting her cheek gently. “I…I can’t explain how much he gets me.” Clearing her throat she sat up. “Thank you so much for making it to my birthday dinner at such short notice, Melissa. It means so much to me.” “How could I have said no to such an invitation? You know you can call out to me whenever you want. Never hesitate. You are family, Isadora.” She beamed. “Family.” She whispered. “Do you really think so? Because I sure don’t want to be like a sister to Adrian.” Melissa laughed. “You have always been so blunt with your words, Isadora. Of course I know being a sister isn't what you seek. I would really love for you two to be together. But….” Isadora readjusted herself to stare at the old lady. “Why are you

    Adrian’s POV“Should I drive you home sir?” My driver, Maxwell, inquired as I got into the car.I pulled at my tie. “To the office.” “Sir?” “Did I speak French?” “But sir, it’s just an hour to the end of work. By the time we get there only a few minutes will be left.” “Maybe if you shut up and drive, we will have more time on our hands.” I seethed. “Yes sir.” He mumbled and kick-started the car. I yanked at the tie, angrily tossing it to the car seat. The past five days have been tormenting for me. My silly self just had to forget the most important thing. I almost didn’t finish the business I travelled out of town for because of how anxious I was. I already knew I needed to have a word with Briar when I left. But it became very essential when a night out two days ago at the bar with my clients after a successful business deal. I was having a drink in my quiet moment when one of the ladies they had invited over tried to seduce me. Like thunder, the memory of the night in the hot

    Briar’s POVTo my surprise, Knox was more than excited to spend a week at Liam’s place with his nanny. I was almost on the brink of cutting off the arrangement. Shouldn’t my son be sad to be away from me? But then, he has always had a connection with Liam and it would be unfair to take that away from him. Whenever I was out on a site inspection outside our city, it didn’t involve Liam. Knox and Gina would spend the time at his house. It was most times Liam’s insistence.I had known a long time ago that my son would always be safe with the people I have made friends with over the years. Going on business trips never became a burden because I always came back to meet a bubbly child as before. “How was it?” Rissa inquired when I entered the office. I rolled my eyes playfully, looking towards Liam’s office. “They seemed excited to want to be away from home.” She chuckled. “Children will shame you.” Sighing in relief, I plopped into my chair twirling it around. “Well, I guess I should
