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
Rogue Adams’ POVI was pissed right after I saw a stolen photo of Brianna in the Lucas family mansion. The caption was insulting and mocking her, saying she came to see Cain Hamilton. I was invited but I declined the invitation, now I found myself in front of the huge mansion of Blake Lucas’ family. I hate that dude. He’s a womanizer and a fcking pretender. I bet he was the one who brought Brianna to this birthday party.“I heard it! I heard Blake asking Brianna Quinn to marry him.”My eyes widened in fraction and I stopped in front of the group of women in the corner of the pool area.Marry him? I knew he had wicked plans. Damn it! Is he trying to take advantage of Brianna’s situation? I asked to meet Levi Thompson again and he told me everything about what has been happening in their company. It’s a complete mess and now Blake Lucas is trying to make things even complicated.My irritation intensified especially after I saw two women trying to intimidate the most intimidating woman I
Brianna’s POVBefore I could answer, Rogue lifted his arms and shook his head. He smiled apologetically. “You don’t have to answer that. I’m sorry for being nosy.”I shook my head. “It’s okay.”I actually want to tell him that I don’t love Cain anymore. I want to tell him that but I feel so nervous. He told me about his feelings. He confessed that he loves me. And when he kissed me, I felt his feelings, I felt his heart. He whispered that he’s in love with me. It almost took my breath away.I swallowed hard and hugged the pillow. I sniffed the pillowcase and gasped when I smelled Rogue’s scent. He smells so…handsome and yummy. Eh? Am I lusting over him or am I simply attracted to him?I lay on the bed straight and stared at the ceiling. I’m still in the condo unit of Rogue’s friend. He said he has his own room in this pad and this is where he wants me to sleep while he’s in the other room. I actually wanted to go home, but he insisted on letting me stay here because it’s already midni
