“ Wait,” Briella said as Sage walked back to her. She didn’t want to say anything at first but on second thought she had to. He was her husband now and not a boy toy.“ Kendrick’s not home at the moment and I don’t remember inviting you in here, as if I would do what do you want?” Brie asked sipping her mocha seated in front of the house with one leg crossed over the other like the boss that she was. “ And why should I answer you?” Sage shot back.“ Because you are trespassing on my husband’s property with no authorization whatsoever, I have the right to question your movements in and out of my house,” she fired standing up to block her path. Sage tried to force her way inside the house as Brie poured the cup of mocha into

“… and you didn’t confront him? Instead you chose to give him the cold shoulder?” Padma asked Brie as they sat at her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles for dinner. They were having mashed potatoes, gravy and a juicy steak by the side. With their glasses filled with baileys. “ What’s the use of he’s going to deny it, come to think of it I think that’s why his mother left impromptu. She may have seen him cheating on me but decided to leave instead of being the one breaking the news,” she realized.“ He still has no justification to do that, she refused to marry him and you were forced into marrying him with your inheritance at stake. Forced marriages can be difficult at the beginning but it’s up to both of you to make this work,” Padma stated.“ Within those two weeks his mom was around we were fine, everything was going on well then after she left, it went back to how it was and now I understand why. As I said earlier, men don’t like being ignored and that’s my cue to win his love b

“…. I missed you,” she ran to hug Aryan when Kendrick told her there was a man outside waiting for her. She hadn’t been talking to him for almost and then a random stranger comes out from nowhere and she’s all over him? Kendrick thought to himself angry.“ I missed you too, where’s your husband can I say hi to him?” Aryan asked smirking. “ Um, hi.” Kendrick said behind both of them. “ You must be Kendrick, her husband. I’m her best friend, Aryan it’s been nice meeting you..” he introduced without Brie saying a word.“ Same, I have a meeting and I’d see you later,” he said walking out of the house as fast as he could.“ Cut him some slack Brie, the poor man wants you to talk to him. Didn’t you notice how happy he was when you acknowledged him as your husband? What more do you want?” Aryan asked as they both headed to the kitchen. “ Hi Alyssa, meet Aryan my best friend, Aryan , Alyssa my friend and our help.” Brie introduced taking a bottle of juice out o the fridge. “ I hope he see

“ I’m sorry I couldn’t come check on you boo-boo,” Aryan said pulling her cheeks. Padma and Aryan had come over to pay her a visit after she told them about what had happened to. Aryan wasn’t so much in shock because he knew about her being claustrophobic, but Padma wasn’t aware that’s whys she was so much worried about the well being of her friend. “ I’m glad you’re fine Brie, I really am.” she smiled. “ Thanks Padma, it was a scary experience considering the fact that no one’s lines were going through except Kendrick,” she smiled at the mention of his name.“ Seems both of you are getting cozy,” Aryan wiggles his eyebrows making her blush.“ Yeah, but I’m afraid he may go back to his of ways soon.” she sighed. “ You could stick to pretend suspicious phone calls and messages,” Padma suggested. “ That’s actually not a bad idea, we can also go out on dinner dates too. But let’s put the date part on hold for now and proceed with the calls. I’d let you know when to start,” Brie stat

Briella and her husband had started living like strangers against and this time around it was worse than before. Kendrick hardly joined her for dinner talkless of coming home on a regular and on time. Brie spent most of her time on work and going out once a while with her friends. She was seriously thinking of moving out into an apartment she had acquired for herself because her home had become too suffocating. She had discontinued the plan she had with Aryan because it had become too draining. She didn’t have the heart to carry out with it and decided to call it off. She had accepted the fact that her sister was now her rival. She saw Sage almost everyday in her house. She did what she liked to her and said what she liked and it didn’t seem to bother Kendrick. Brie sat infront of the piano. She had dusted it and decided to play something on it to soothe her nerves since it had been a while she played “ In the stars” by Benson Boone. It was her favorite song after her mom and Kid
