Brianna’s POVI smirked after Cain walked out on me. I took my phone out and checked on the taxi that I reserved but it’s not responding. I sucked my breath and irritation immediately replaced my happiness.My forehead creased when I saw Cain’s car stopped. I shook my head and checked my phone again when a car parked in front of me. It was an old black pick up. My lips parted after I saw the man in the driver seat. He slightly pulled his aviator glasses down and smiled as soon as our eyes met.“Hi.”I blinked numerous times. He looked so handsome in a black t-shirt, aviator glasses and loose necklace.He chuckled. “I might melt, babe.”I gasped because of his shameless remark. He’s really arrogant yet I found myself smiling back at him. I don’t know what’s in him that ever since he helped me in that bar, I would always find myself losing my cool because of his arrogant smile and hooded eyes.“Mr. Rogue Adams,” I uttered his name and he looked so amazed.“Ah! It feels so good to know y
Brianna’s POVI forced myself to forget about what happened inside Rogue Adams’ car. My heart kept on pounding as I rode the elevator. I caressed my chest and swallowed hard. Why do I feel like this? We’re not close. We just met so why am I reacting this way towards him? He’s making my body alive. There was an undeniable sexual tension between us and I certainly know it wasn’t only me. He feels it too, reason why he almost kissed me inside his car,My lips parted and became restless as I tried to suppress the heat burning me inside. I swallowed hard, determined to forget about the incident.You can’t be like this again, Brianna. He’s also a man. You just can’t…Argh!“Miss Bree…”I lifted my face and looked at Levi, who was waiting for me in front of the elevator.“He keeps on asking about you, Miss Bree. He’s really mad.”I nodded at Levi and went to my office without saying anything. There I saw my uncle standing in the middle of my office. His hands were on his waist and his bloodsh
Brianna’s POVI laughed and shook my head in disbelief. I fixed my gaze on him as he looked at me like he’s some wolf, preying on me. I can’t believe he still sees himself as an authoritative man who can control me whenever he wants. This is absurd.I came here to confirm what Uncle Aiden said and I just got the answer. Cain indeed manipulated me. He must’ve known that someday I’d come back to my senses and he took advantage of my stupidity. I’m just thankful I woke up in time, he might have taken all my properties and rights if I came to my senses a little late.“You will never see me beg again, Cain.”His eyes sharpened. “You will lose your company, Brianna. I’m telling you. Don’t let your pride drive your sanity or you’ll wake up in a bed of nail.”The corner of my lips rose. “I’ve been to bed of blades, Cain. In your arms.”I turned my back and walked out of that room. I got the answer to my questions and the fact that I confirmed it makes me weak even more. I’m losing my wealth a
Brianna’s POVHe hugged me and kissed my hair last night. I couldn’t take it off of my mind. I was so shocked. Not only because of what he did, but because I didn’t do anything. His arms were so warm and comforting, something I never felt towards a man for a very long time. I couldn’t help but to compare him with Cain. And surely, no doubt, Cain didn’t reach even half of his trait. The way he caressed my hair. The way he whispered how worried he was. The way he treats me. It was very different. It was as if he’s known me for so long.“Miss Bree…”I jumped in a swivel chair and looked at Levi. I cleared my throat, making up for the embarrassment I suddenly felt. “Y-Yes?”“I’m here to remind you about your meeting with a prospect investor. His secretary said he’ll be waiting at this address. It was a high-end restaurant, Miss Bree. And he’s expecting you at 1 PM today.”I nodded and massaged my forehead. I was preoccupied by what happened last night and the problem the company is facing
Rogue’s POVI’m on my way to meet Levi Thompson, Brianna’s assistant, to talk about the current state of their company. I’m worried. Last night after misunderstanding Brianna’s intention at the bridge, I got so scared and hurt. After she left, I immediately told my secretary to schedule a private meeting with Brianna’s assistant to know what’s happening.Actually, I don’t wanna interfere in her life. She’s a strong woman and I know she can get through this but after seeing her like that, even without the intention of jumping off the bridge, I decided to silently find a way to help her with her problems.I was about to enter the VIP room when the door in the next room swung open. A familiar sweet scent filled my nose and even without looking, I immediately recognized the woman who opened the door. To confirm my hunch, I bore my eyes at her and my lips parted in shock because of her state.Her lips were so wet and bright red. Her hair was a little mess. Her cheeks are flushed although h
Brianna’s POV“I’m sorry, Miss Bree. I was incompetent.”I lifted my eyes from some documents to look at Levi’s regretful face. When I confronted him about my meeting yesterday, he was also clueless about the identity of the prospect investor. Cain used another name to lure me into that meeting. I was mad at Levi for not doing a background check about the person I will meet but I am well aware that I have my share of faults.I shook my head. “Forget it, Levi. What about the companies I asked you to make an appointment with? We have to find new investors or we’ll have to file bankruptcy.”He looked down. “I apologize, Miss Bree. The companies I contacted aren’t interested.”My forehead creased. “What do you mean? You contacted three companies today and yesterday, right?”He nodded and fixed his specs. “Well, the company yesterday set a meeting for next week, but today, their secretary called and canceled it.”I blinked and sucked my breath. This is insane! I know for sure that Cain has
Brianna’s POV“Wow!”I flashed a sweet smile at Blake who got out of his car and praised me. I noticed we’re wearing a paired color and I liked it. He walked towards me in a dashing suit and offered his arm. “Shall we?”I snaked my arm on his arm and he guided me towards the shotgun seat. He was careful and gentle as he closed the door on my side. I watched him go to the other side of the car. Before he invests in my company, he wants me to accompany him to his uncle's birthday party. I’m nervous, alright! I mean, Blake Lucas’ family is now one of the riches and his uncle was a legendary actor. So I’m certain there would be a lot of people, showbiz or non, in the party. They might even recognize me.“Are you nervous?”I glanced at Blake and smiled softly. “Kinda. People might recognize me.”The corner of his lips rose. “Of course, they’d recognize you. The luxurious Brianna Quinn, heiress of The Quinn’s Villa is seen with Blake Lucas, the handsome nephew of a legendary actor.”I smirk
Brianna's POVI thought I could easily change my life after I got reborn. I had the courage to change my fate because I know I have my resources. But after realizing the possible fall of my company, it shook me. It wasn't Cain who shook me, it was the situation of the company that my grandfather entrusted me with.I have three days left from a week that the shareholders gave me. I only have three days to find a way to at least assure them that the company won't fall. I only have three days left to prove that I can save the company. But I'm losing my hope.When Blake showed up, I thought I found hope but I was wrong. Blake has his own plans and it might affect my company.The project I approved before I filed for a temporary leave was kept on hold by my greedy uncle and instead, he used the remaining funds to start his condominium with a hotel project. He's indeed a gambler. A very stupid gambler. He would gamble everything on something that isn't even certain. He's dirtying the compan
