Semua Bab The Billionaire's Long Awaited Heiress.: Bab 11 - Bab 18

Chapter 11.A MISUNDERSTANDING.Brianna's POV.Staring at the picture frame on the bedside table, a smile curled up my lips. I could recall that moment like it was yesterday. Jason was barely six months old when we took that photo. I rubbed my thumb on the glass; Jason's father should have been right next to me. Unfortunately, he left me when I needed him the most. I sighed. The frame was dusty, and I had to wipe it off. I picked up an old clothe which I wasn't wearing anymore, and wipe the glass shield. As I moved my hand in circles, wiping every corner of the frame, the doorbell rang.“Jason, can you get the door, please?” I called, waiting for a reply.But there was none.“For goodness’ sake, where has he gone to again?” I muttered the words under my breath and dropped the frame on the bedside table. “Jason?” I walked out of the bedroom, and proceeded towards the sitting room. But as I arrived at the sitting room, I found him with my cellphone. I thought as much too. That was

Chapter 13.A COINCIDENCE.Brianna's POV.I returned inside, closed the door, and allowed my body sag against it. For a moment, I hit the back of my head against the door as tears rolled down my eyes. How could she say those words to me? If she had it all good and rosy, that doesn't mean that she'd the right to talk to me in the manner which she did.“Mom, is there something wrong?” Jason's voice cut through my thoughts.If anything, I had forgotten that he was still there. Immediately, I wiped my face with the heel of my palm, but he noticed.“Are you crying, mom?” he asked, putting the phone aside. “Did something bad happened out there? Who did you see?” “It is nothing dear.” I said, with a smile. “There is nothing for you to worry about; I'm fine.” “Are you sure?” he asked. “It doesn't look like you're fine to me. Besides, I heard your voice from outside. Did you get into a fight with someone?” “You worry too much dear.” I walked to him, and settled on the couch. “Nothing happe

Chapter 15.THE RIGHT DECISION OR NOT?Brianna's POV.Hayley fell silent. Just by looking at her face, I could tell what thoughts were running through her mind at that particular time.“What? You don't want to?” I asked. “Even if you don't want to, he's been toying with your emotions, the least you could do is get to know who he is for real.” “I really appreciate your concern,” she said, forcing a smile. “However, I don't think I want to go down this path. I don't think it's necessary. It doesn't matter to me who he claims to be. As far as I'm concerned, it's over between us. Whatever we had, or thought we had, is now in the past.” “Are you sure you don't want to do a background check on him?” I asked, the words seemed to drag themselves from my throat. “I am sure.” she said. “Besides, even if we do a background check on him, and I find out who he really is, it doesn't make any difference. I'll only get hurt the more for being lied to and taken advantage of. I don't think I'm ready

Chapter 17.CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.Brianna's POV.Although I couldn't say if his words were true, but for someone who sells newspapers, I don't think there was any reason for him to lie to me. I mean, that would only ruin his business. Besides, it was right there: the image of JetFlex. Even though I'd never seen it before, but it was right on the front page of the newspaper. Now that I think about it, I could have gotten it to read more about the happenings in the company.I sighed.“Are you sure you're okay?” Hayley asked, her fingers wrapped around the cup of tea sitting on her lap. “Since you got here you haven't said anything.” If I wasn't wrong, then that was the fifth, if not the sixth time that she'd asked that same question. And in that period, I don't think there was a time when I actually gave her a verbal response.All I did was smile at her, hoping that she would catch a hint, but it seemed like she was too concerned about the look on my face and my unusual silence.
