Brianna’s POVCain appeared in front of my condo unit again when I got home the next morning. My fever has died down and after making sure that I’m okay, Rogue allowed me to go home alone. He actually offered to send me home but I declined. I don’t wanna grow dependent on him. I don’t wanna get used to it.Today, we’ll go visit the site that was chosen for our collaboration project with AVL Land Incorporated. Rogue is coming with me and since he’s part of the board, I gave him the privilege.“Brianna, we have to talk.”I groaned in annoyance. “Cain, please! I’m busy.”“You have to make time for me, Brianna.”I hissed. “Why would I do that? Do you think you’re that important? Please, if you have nothing to say but the issue about Amber, just leave. I don’t have time to deal with you. I have a lot of things to do.”He took a deep breath and clenched his jaws. I stared at him blankly to let him know that I’m interested in whatever he’s gonna say. He sighed in defeat in the end and turned
Brianna’s POVI was shocked as I stared at Rogue. He was just looking at me with his widened eyes. The old man suddenly became aggressive and he kept on sending Rogue away. His face was red and dark as if he saw his mortal enemy.I swallowed hard and tried to hold the old man’s arm. “Sir…”“And you!”“Ah!” I shrieked when he pushed me away and I fell on the bed of sunflowers. My eyes widened too.“Brianna!” Rogue ran to me, ignoring the old man who attempted to push him away.Rogue gently held my hand and pulled me up as his jaws constantly clenched. He looked pissed. I’m afraid he’ll fight with the old man so I tried stopping him by pulling his arm. He ignored me. Instead, he held my hands and intertwined our fingers. My lips parted as my heart raced because of what he did. He dragged my hand with his hand resting between our thighs. My lips pressed, creating a thin line. That simple gesture affects my whole system.“I’m sorry for disturbing you, sir. But you got the wrong person. Th
Brianna’s POVThe rain started pouring right after we entered the huge mansion of Montez family. I looked at Rogue who was looking at the sky before he slowly turned to me.“I don’t think we can go home tonight.”My lips parted. “We have to go home.”“The road is being repaired.” The man named Connor spoke and motioned to the couch. I smiled and sat on the couch across from him.Two female servants brought us coffee and cookies. I was roaming my eyes around, examining the classical style of the house when Rogue sat beside me. Mr. Albert Montez showed up again carrying a brown envelope.“Here are the final documents. I apologize for taking too long before the final process.”Rogue accepted it and handed it to me. I smiled and accepted it. “Thank you.”“The rain is pouring heavily. We have one guestroom left. You should just stay for tonight.”One guest room? I sucked my breath. I have already slept with Rogue twice but I still feel awkward and embarrassed.“We need to go back to the co
Brianna’s POV“Thank you very much, Mr. and Mrs. Montez, for letting us stay overnight,” I said as I gave them the sweetest of my smile.I was standing beside Rogue while saying goodbye to the hospitable and kind family. I had a good sleep last night… Well, of course after making love with Rogue.“I’m glad you two made up. Last night I feel like you’re not on good terms,” Mrs. Montez said, smiling.Her husband chuckled. “Sorry about that. My wife really loves to play cupid.”I smiled again and looked at Rogue, who’s standing next to me. Our arms touched as I moved and he looked down at me too. His intense eyes are drowning me again into a beautiful fantasy that surely will get engraved in my mind and heart.After the short goodbye, we got in the car and Rogue started driving silently. The transfer of the land has been finalized. I feel sorry for the ruins and the buried memories in there. I feel sorry for the old Montez. But I’ll make sure that even if the old mansion gets removed and
Cain’s POVI tried investigating Rogue Ryder. Trying to find something I could do against him. This is not not about my pride. I know how men work in business just to get what they want. Brianna is a brilliant woman. I can see now that she’s slowly lifting their company and her leadership is a threat to anyone. She’s capable and I know people will start to drag her down. People will try to use her just as how…I used her before to save my family’s business. I am guilty on that part and I’m not trying to get my name cleaned through sympathy or what. I’m doing this to help and save Brianna from dangerous people who might take advantage of her and as of now, I see Rogue Ryder as a person who might take advantage of her kindness.I know my wife. Fck! If she falls in love, she’ll pour everything and will leave nothing to herself. I just want to save her.“Why are we here, Cain?” Amber asked, disturbing my thoughts.I looked at her. “I told you not to come.”“Really? How can I do that when y
Brianna’s POVI screamed. Rogue and Cain keep on exchanging punches. Amber was accidentally pushed away and I I gasped. I feel like they won’t stop even if I continue screaming here. I took a step back and clenched my jaws.Cain fell on the floor after Rogue punched his stomach and kicked him. Rogue was then thrown on the floor after Cain attacked him back.“CAIN, STOP IT!” Amber screamed. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BRIANNA? STOP THEM! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!”I pressed my lips together and took a step back. The memories of me rolling down the stairs flashed back in my mind. They’re still punching each other and it’s reminding me of my cruel death that sent me back here. I slowly shook my head. Tears pooled in the corner of my eyes.Extreme violence. That’s what killed me and I feel like I developed a trauma because of what happened.I continued taking a step back until a blinding light hit my face. I heard a car coming our way but I couldn't properly see it.“BRIANNA!” Cain and Rogue’s voices
Brianna’s POVWe had food for dinner delivered. I invited Rogue to just eat dinner here in my unit. We ate in silence and he even insisted on washing the dishes. While he’s washing the dishes, I took a quick bath and then went to the living area to check the documents we got from the Montez family.“Are you okay now?” Rogue’s voice distracted me.I smiled at him and nodded. “Yes. I’m gonna meet the board tomorrow. I guess we can now talk about the planning of the project.”He sighed and sat beside me. “Let’s not rush things. Something happened just tonight, Brianna. I want to catch the driver of that car first. Your safety is my priority.”“I’ll just strengthen my security.”He shook his head. “I will let you do everything on your own as long as you’re safe. I won’t interfere with your work and your personal life because I don’t want you to think that I’m controlling you or what. But, Bree… This is a diffrent thing. You have to understand me. I’m worried.”I understand him but this is
Brianna’s POVI changed my clothes and grabbed my car keys. I’m just wearing pants, rubber shoes and hoodie as I drove to the address that Kate texted me. When I reached the bar, I immediately spotted Kate in front of the stage, staring at Matt Holland like a crazy fangirl.I felt tears in the corner of my eyes as I stared at my best friend. We almost have the same fate. She’d get very wounded because of that arrogant rockstar. Mattew Holland will ruin her life to the extent. Kate will get pregnant and he will take the child away. Kate will be suicidal because she never expected Mattew to marry his long time hidden girlfriend right after he got the child. Kate’s life will be ruined and she almost killed herself.Aside from my grandfather, I unintentionally abandoned Kate because of my stupid obsession for Cain.“I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MATT!”Kate’s desperate scream brought me back to my senses. Mattew Holland is now done singing. He immediately went down the stage and whispered something
