Brianna’s POV
"Cheating? Really, Cain? Coming from your own mouth?"
He clenched his jaws and his eyes sharpened even more. He's tongue-tied now. I can't believe he's accusing me of the things he's doing.
“There’s no other reason why you’re doing this, Brianna. It’s either you want to have another man or you really have another man.”
I smirked. “Think, Cain. Think until you lose your mind.”
I pulled my arm back and went to my car. He was so shocked by my fierce attitude that he couldn't follow me. I cursed him numerous times in my head. His ego just couldn’t accept that I want out of this marriage, huh?
It's just a start, Cain.
All the things you owed me I will take them back soon. You’d better get used to failure.
I just shook my head at his furious look in the rearview mirror and drove the car. I'm already on the national road when a limousine violently took over and blocked me.
My eyes widened in fraction. I almost hit the car. And I definitely know who owns that freaking limousine. He’s obsessed with luxury things.
Cain, who's angrily cursing out loud got out of the limousine and went to the side of my car. He kicked my tire and my forehead creased.
He violently tried to open my door and knocked on my window. "Open the goddamn door, Brianna!"
I rolled my eyes. The night was calm and silent but this freaking bastard is creating a scene.
"I said open the fcking door, Brianna!"
Shit! I scheduled our meet-up on Friday because I don’t wanna see him. He’ll just ruin my mood and he’s actually doing it now.
“Brianna!”
I violently opened the door and it hit his side. He glared at me and attempted to slap me but I dodged and slapped his cheek.
In my last life, he tortured me with words and violence countless times. And the worst time, he made me fall down the stairs and lose my life.
I should have slapped him when I was just reborn. He deserves it.
He turned to me angry but my eyes sharply held his gaze. He gritted his teeth. He attempted to try to hit me again but I took a single step closer, intimidating him.
“Go on! Hit me. I’m pretty sure this spot has closed-circuit television to capture your crime. Hit me, Cain.”
He was shocked. He roamed his eyes and balled his fists.
I looked at his balled fists and laughed sarcastically when he took a step back as if stopping himself from hitting me. He’s a domestic abuser. I was stupid for enduring this animalistic side of him but I’m no longer tolerating his attitude. I’ve learned the hard way, I said.
“What the hell do you want, Cain? I already told you to meet me on Friday. Friday, Cain. Are you stupid?”
His expression darkened. “Let’s talk about your crazy antics, Brianna.”
I shot an eyebrow up. “No.”
He angrily pointed a finger at me. “Are you fcking another man behind my back, Brianna? Huh?”
Oh! I licked my bottom lip and laughed. “I’m not as dirty as you, Cain. I can wait for our divorce before I fck another man. Unlike you.”
“So it’s true?” He violently laughed. “You have another man. That’s why you moved out of my house and are asking for a divorce.”
I smirked. “No, Cain. I moved out of your house because it reminds me of my stupidity and I want a divorce because I’m sick of your animalistic attitude. Being connected with you in any way disgusts me.”
He sucked his breath and lifted his arm in an attempt of hurting me but I lifted my face and fiercely stared back at him. “Ready to be a prisoner, Cain?”
He shook his head and chuckled. “You’re just trying to scare me, Brianna. You’re not really going to divorce me. You don’t have another man. You just want me to follow you like an obedient dog. You just want me to chase you. Am I right? You love me so much that you’re willing to save me from the pit of hell.”
I pressed my lips together. I feel so small and insulted hearing how I acted towards him.
He laughed again. “You are so fcking in love with me, Brianna. Divorce is impossible between us and I know that. You are so freaking desperate to own me. You can even waste your money for me. You will do everything to get my attention. You are just so fcking thirsty for my love and attention.”
My expression turned grim. “That was my biggest mistake, Cain.”
His lips parted and he was lost for words. I stared at him blankly. I waited for him to say anything because I’m still hoping he’d apologize for all the things he did to me. Did he know that in the future, he would end up killing me?
A simple sorry is all I’ve been waiting for but it did not come out of his mouth. I laughed audibly. Why did I even hope?
I opened the door of my car when He pushed it and grabbed my arm again. He desperately pushed me against my car and searched for my eyes. Without a word, he claimed my lips but I pushed him and slapped him again.
My chest was moving up and down rapidly because of anger. He knew I’d bend like an obedient wife when he kissed me but not anymore.
“You disgusting sht!”
He was taken aback. He stared at me with a shocked face and parted lips. He didn’t expect me to slap him. Of course, he didn’t.
I clenched my jaws and wiped my lips. I saw him pale for a reason. I shot him cold glares one last time before I slipped myself inside my car.
I cursed violently and gripped the steering wheel. There was a pain in my heart. I can’t deny that I loved this evil man and it’s hurting me. It’s hurting me not because we ended up this way but because I wasted my life on him.
I wasted the luxury life my grandfather gave me.
I wasted my love on a shameless and worthless husband.
I pity my past self for being so blind and stupid. Now I had the chance to change my fate, I’m not gonna waste it.
From the side of my eye, I saw Cain standing on his spot, looking at my car. He’s still so shocked but I don’t give a damn. Sht!
I need to see my friend Kate. Among the people around me, she’d be the happiest if I tell her I’m divorcing my evil husband.
Brianna's POV“You did? Are you serious, Bree? Or you’re just pranking me?”I smirked at Kate. “You think I’m joking? I’m serious, Kate. I’m divorcing him.”Kate laughed so hard that the other people in the Eros, a nightclub where we were drinking, turned in our direction. I laughed and dragged the glass of Bloody Mary to my lips and sipped on it.Kate laughed again and clapped her hands while shaking her head. “God! This calls for a celebration, Bree!”“Reason I brought you here,” I said and winked.“Then let’s dance!” Kate grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the dancefloor.My eyes were silently moist when Kate held my hands. On the night I died, we also met at this bar. If God had not given me this second chance, I would never see Kate again.I shudder to think how much she would have blamed herself when she learned of my death. I know she would have fought Cain to the death, but anger and guilt can also consume my best friend. I don't want that to happen.Luckily, I'm back. I have
Brianna’s POVI was in awe. I couldn’t breathe properly. The man in front of me is so tall, even taller than Cain who’s already 6 feet tall. The man’s shoulders were broad. His muscles were bulging inside the sleeves of his white button-down polo. His uh…butt is protruded and sexy and damn! He smells so nice. But…who is he?I swallowed hard and glanced at Cain. His expression was dark and his jaws were clenched but it’s slowly fading. For some reason, he looked afraid and…offended?“Hurting a woman? Are you gay?”My lips parted. Even this man’s voice is freaking sexy. Fck! Get a grip of your sanity, Bree! He’s a man and he’s also an asshole.“Who are you? Why are you meddling with our business?” Cain, who seemed to have already recovered, growled.The man moved to the side, revealing his side profile which made my jaws drop. His eyelashes were thick and curled. His pointed nose is proud. His lips are so red and wet and his eyes are dark, expressive and hooded.I flinched when he slowl
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
