Brianna's POVI can barely stand his stares. He was too handsome and intense that I felt the tension in my heart as we stayed in the same private room.My heart was hammering inside my chest. I can still feel his hand on mine and his lips on mine. The warm feeling of his touch and the electrifying sensations I felt when he kissed back. God! I couldn't remember the time I felt that way. Or that's really a first."Sit down," he urged and walked towards the couch.I roamed my eyes. This is a VIP room, and he comfortably roams around as if he's very familiar with this place.Speechless, I followed him and sat on the couch across from him. The corner of his lips rose as he watched me sit on the place far from him. He cocked an eyebrow up and crossed his legs.I wonder why he interfered with my business, but I'm glad he did. I was able to get away from Cain and his disrespectful friends. Not that I can't handle myself. I just can't stand them."I'm not being nosy, but may I know what happen
Brianna's POVI groaned and cupped my aching head. Fragments of memories started flashing back in my mind painfully. I gasped and paled when I realized what I did last night. The confrontation and argument with Cain and the stranger. I…I kissed him and…did something crazy.The horror of last night’s memories made my heart race. I quickly sat on the bed and looked at myself. I was wearing different clothes. It was a white plain shirt and shorts.My lips trembled as I tried to recall what happened inside that private bar. I am certain I’m in a different room and I’m guessing I’m in a hotel.“No no no!” I whispered to myself.Did something happen? Where is that stranger? Did I give myself to him recklessly and impulsively? I didn’t even know him for God’s sake!I grabbed my hair in frustration and groaned. What the hell did you do, Brianna?I roamed my eyes around, looking for my cell phone. I found it on the bedside table and was about to get it when the door swung open. I jumped on the
Brianna’s POVI gasped and cupped my mouth when I saw my photo spreading on the internet. There was an intriguing caption of ‘Brianna Quinn and Cain Hamilton’s marriage for convenience. Did they just use each other for their business?’. The photo of my face and Cain’s face were clear. The shot also took a blurry face of Amber and Rogue Adams. It was taken from the bar last night.I quickly got off the bed and grabbed the dress I was wearing last night. I wore it and grabbed my pouch and without looking back, I rushed out of the hotel room. I was too worried about my grandfather that I forgot about the food Rogue Adams left for me. I didn’t even glance at the woman I bumped into in the lobby as I apologized to her.When I arrived at my grandfather’s hospital room, I froze when I saw uncle Aiden inside. He turned to me and smiled after he realized my arrival.“My dear niece. I didn’t know you’d visit today,” he greeted and then his eyes examined my dress.My forehead creased. His smile
Rogue Adams’s POVI entered the private room of Mr. Brian Quinn right after I saw Brianna leaving. I don’t want to introduce myself to her this way. I’ve been following the events in her life all these years. I’ve been madly in love with that woman and now that I heard about her situation, from her very own mouth, I won’t back down and watch from the dark anymore. I gave up on my chance when I heard about her marriage, but seeing her miserable, I regret letting her go. It’s just a waste she didn’t recognize me.“Rogue Adams.”I flashed a formal smile at Mr. Quinn. I sat on the chair beside his bed after I bowed to the man I looked up to. “Good day, Mr. Quinn.”He chuckled. “Too formal. How are you by the way? I called for you as soon as I heard the rumors about my granddaughter. I just confirmed it today with her.”I nodded. “I heard too, Mr. Quinn.”“This is the right time,” he said as he stared at me.I sighed. “If she’s happy with her life, I wouldn’t want to hear that, Mr. Quinn.
Brianna’s POV“What do you mean you’re not coming?” I angrily growled at Cain over the phone.I’ve been waiting for him in front of the city council with my lawyer only to find out that he’s not gonna show up. This man is freaking insane. What? He wants two women by his side? What a psycho! I don’t even know why he keeps on resisting. Obviously, he doesn’t need me anymore. His company has recovered and he has his first love Amber by his side. What am I? A decoration to make his reputation good and untainted? Damn him![I’m not gonna give you what you want, Brianna. You will just have the chance to be with your lover if I agree to that divorce.]I laughed sarcastically because of what he said. “What the hell is your problem, Cain? You should be happy that you’re finally free. You can be with your woman after this. Freely!”[Well, news flashed, I don’t wanna be free. You will suffer in my hands, Brianna. I won’t give you the satisfaction of being happy with your man.]“What the hell? Yo
Rogue Adams’ POV“Mr. Quinn is rushing you to marry his granddaughter, man. This is the chance you’ve been waiting for.”I smirked at Leon and shook my head. “I can wait.”Leonardo West is my best friend. We’ve been friends since high school and he knew about my hidden feelings for the luxurious Brianna Quinn. That woman is exceptional. Everyone would turn their heads to their direction when she comes. She’s literally a head turner. Her beauty is timeless. So fcking goddess-like. Cain fcking Hamilton was lucky she liked him, but that motherfcker wasted his chance.“Wait?” He laughed. “You’ve been waiting for five years. Aren’t you tired?”I shook my head and sipped on my drinks. “I won’t get tired of this fight.”He groaned as if he's the one getting impatient for me.“You know, sometimes it’s not bad to take advantage of the opportunities.” He drank and lifted his empty glass. “Your intention is clean anyway.”Still, I'm not gonna rush things. Brianna is having a hard time with her l
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
