Nikolas repeatedly read the note that Brooklyn left for him. His eyes were glued to the words, Your Brooklyn. “If you're mine, why did you leave me, Brooklyn?” He whispered, his voice cracking with the effort it took him to speak. His heart was heavy as lead, his throat choked with unshed tears and he had no idea why he felt so heartbroken. It felt as if his heart had been wrenched away and taken to San Francisco. Ever since she had boarded the bus, his eyes had followed her till the bus had completely disappeared from his sight. The rest of the day had been a waste as he hadn't been able to do anything but sit in Brooklyn’s room and miss her immensely. He had given Kathy leave since he wanted to be all alone. Although he had sent all Brooklyn’s stuff to her along with t

Brooklyn stood in front of the mirror inside her washroom to strip and take a shower. After Brandon left, a sense of loneliness gripped her heart and she just had her dinner, cleaned up, and walked into her bedroom to sleep. The sense of uncertainty was killing her. She had no idea how she would get a job in this new city full of strangers. However, she knew she had to since she couldn’t be dependent upon Nikolas forever. He might have provided for her once but what would she do when it was all finished. She needed a job immediately. She slowly took off her top and was about to unbutton her jeans when something sparkled around her neck, catching her attention. Looking closely, she gasped with shock. It was Nikolas’s chain that he always wore around his neck. How did it crop up around her neck all of a sudden? It wasn’t there last night when she changed to bed! Her eyes widened and h

Nikolas picked up his plate and stormed into the kitchen after dropping that bombshell upon her. Brooklyn followed him to rinse her plate. She was in a dilemma now. How could she return with him? All the other employees would judge her and call her names. They would mock her as Nikolas’s wh*re and attack her character behind her back. No, she was better off here. She wouldn’t go back with him. “We can pack up and leave immediately if you don’t have any other work here,” said Nikolas, turning towards her after completing his job. Brooklyn gaped at him, completely taken aback by the suddenness of his decision. “I don’t want to go back, Nikolas. I want to stay here,” she told him in a soft voice, expecting him to react vehemently. Nikolas looked stunned, not having expected that answer from her. 

Nikolas quickly came to his senses and rushed out but she had already gone out of the main gates! ‘So fast?’ He thought in his head. He rushed back to his car and started the ignition, driving out of the premises with everyone gaping after him. But he didn’t care as all he could think of was Brooklyn’s jealous retort. She was indeed jealous, wasn’t she? He drove out to the streets and kept looking for Brooklyn. He had reached a little farther down the way to his apartment when he saw Brooklyn literally running ahead, angrily. He screeched to a halt a little ahead of her and got down. “Get in, Brooklyn,” he said gruffly but Brooklyn ignored him and surged on ahead. Nikolas strode after her and picked her up on his shoulder and walked towards his car. “

Brooklyn gazed into his eyes, feeling his growing arousal against her, feeling his need for her. She was lost in his eyes and surrendered to the desire she felt deep within her for him. She loved him and she was willing to take the plunge. She was willing to make memories with him. Nikolas leaned in to taste those luscious lips again. However, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Bruce and he looked at his phone with displeasure. “I need to take this,” said Nikolas, looking a little disappointed. Brooklyn nodded and coming to her senses, she jumped off his lap immediately. She went to the washroom to freshen up while Nikolas spoke to Bruce over the phone. When she emerged, he wasn’t there in the room. Going out, she saw him busy preparing coffee. The moment she walked in, he looked up and gave her a dazzling smile making all
