Chapter Twenty: Rogue and Wolfsbane.I STILL couldn’t believe how could that bite save Brent instantly. arlier, he isn’t waking up because too much blood was lost from him but now… he was completely fine. The Doctor suggested to take him in a regular room but Brandon paid for an expensive private room. I don’t want to agree with him at first but he already paid for the room. Brent was silent while I am feeding him. He kept on glancing over Brandon.“Brent, baby? Why aren’t you speaking? Is there any problem?” I asked.Brent shook his head and glanced at Brandon that was sitting behind me. “Who is he, Mom?” he asked. “I’m afraid he was a stranger…” His curious eyes avoided Brandon’s, maybe he was afraid of him.I took in a heavy sigh. I thought Brandon already told him who he was. Hearing this, I turned my attention to Brandon. He was just looking at us without saying anything. I mouthed ‘what now’ but he just shrugged.“He…” I started and then turned back my attention to Brent. “He wa

Chapter Twenty-Two: Grandson.I DIDN’T want to embarrass her, but I was forced to push her away. Thinking about how Kayla might think once she knew that Sara kissed me, I’m sure it will frustrate her. I don’t want to assume but I need to see the possibility… and, Sara’s kiss doesn’t have any effect on me anymore. Instead, it disgusted me.“W-why?” she asked. Her face flashed a surprised expression, that she didn’t expect it from me.“I’m sorry, Sara. But you have to understand that I don’t love you anymore. And what’s between us is over and cannot be undone,” I replied honestly.She bite her lower lip, preventing it from trembling. It hurts seeing her get hurt because of course, our relationship lasted for ten years but… it doesn’t matter to me now. I pity her but it was because she’s hurt, not because I still love her.“I remembered how you wanted me to stay… why?” she asked. I wanted to tell her about how painful it was when she broke up with me. How it made me feel miserable whene

Chapter Twenty-Four: Request. THINKING about everything that happened this past week, there are lots of questions formed in my mind. Just like how no news came out after a rogue attacked the hospital. I didn't think of it at first because my mind was too occupied with how to protect my son. Now that I have a lot of time to think, I couldn't help but think about it. “Are you sure you’re okay?” I was snapped from what I am thinking when Ales touched my shoulder and asked. After turning my head to him and smiling, I shook my head. “Nothing, I think I forgot something this morning. I couldn't think of what it is though… Anyway, what happened last week when I wasn't here? Who assisted Sir Brandon?” I asked. That also bothered me! Ales shrugged. “It was Sir Evan, of course. He was always the one who replaces his assistant whenever his secretary has leaves, absences resigned, or got fired…” My brow raised. “So he changes secretary from time to time?” “Hmm, yes? In my past four yea

Chapter Twenty-Six: Sharlotte’s Friend.I’M ALMOST late when I got to work. To be honest, I don't want to go to work today. I don't feel like working when I’m in a bad mood… My eyes glanced at the phone when it rang then I lazily took it and answered.“Hi, Sir? What do you need?” Ales glanced at me like he was surprised by my behavior. I wasn't like this to be honest, I always try my best to be as polite as possible when talking to Brandon. I don't want someone to notice that there’s something between us. But today was different, I’m still mad, although he already apologized to me.“Coffee please?”I rolled my eyes and almost told him to just make his coffee by himself but thanked God! I didn't. “Alright, coming up, Sir!” I replied.I quickly ended the call and stood up to go to his office. I saw him busy working on his table, he didn't even glance at me. Without saying anything, I continued walking through his coffee table and made his coffee. “Can you put a spoonful of creamer?”

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Midnight Attack.Third Person POV:“LOOK I am not your enemy here, I know that you’re worried that I might hurt your family but trust me. I’m sure that there’s someone looking over Scott’s family.”Diether’s eyes looked sincere while saying those words towards Brandon. While Kayla was still not convinced, Brandon felt that. He held her hand and squeezed it gently.“Thank you for worrying for them, but I guess those people you are seeing are my guards.”Diether’s forehead wrinkled, seemed unconvinced but he just shrugged. “Alright… I think I should go now. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. But if something happens, I’m still here to rescue. I am their neighbor, I can’t just sit there doing nothing if something might happen…” he said before leaving.After Diether left, Brandon turned his attention to Kayla, who was still worried. He smiled at her while entwining their fingers.“I think you don't have to worry. If your gut-feelings are right, my guards are there to r
