Briar’s POVI let out a heavy exhale feeling exhausted. I don’t think I have felt this empty in a long time. Waking up to realize the awful experience I had in the basement did happen and I didn't imagine it makes me feel vulnerable. Letting someone manhandle me like that without doing everything I could to fight back, leaves me disappointed with myself. Wishing I had bitten his ear off and made him squeal in burning pain. But here I am wishing I could erase the damn memory. The mere thought makes my skin crawl. When it’s dark, the room seems to have a life of its own closing in on me. In my sleep the vision comes and every attempt to scream is fruitless. My mouth only opens up with no sound while sinking under the terrible weight on me. I feel like a weakling and I hate every bit of it. How am I supposed to face Knox? “Briar, are you crying?” Rissa inquired, peeking at my face. I wiped off the tears quickly, holding up a tight smile. “Hey, Rissa. I didn’t see you there. Aren’t yo

Briar’s POVMy lashes fluttered slowly as I tried to open my eyes. It felt heavy, must be from the intense crying. I moved my body and the surface felt a bit hard. Did I sleep off on the floor? I wondered what Gina used to mop the floor to have it smell so nice. I sniffed it again, feeling a sense of calm. I soon readjusted myself and a gasp escaped my lips. I clasped my hand over my mouth staring into Adrian’s face. “You are awake.” He muttered calmly. I jumped away from him, searching my body and looking down at myself to realize I was still clothed. “What are you doing here? How did you get into my bed?” Adrian sighed, getting out of the bed and readjusting his shirt. “I found you on the cold floor sleeping. When I brought you to bed, you didn’t let my hand go.” “Why do you lie so much?” I accused. He sucked his teeth, holding onto his waist. He looked tired, “If that is what you want to believe. What will you have for lunch? I can make some turkey avocado wrap. Is it still yo

Adrian’s POVA tired exhale escaped my nostrils as I walked into the house. “Mum?” I paused in my tracks at the sight of her and Eric seated on a couch in the living room, drinking wine. “What are you doing here?” She smiled brightly at me. “Welcome son. How was your day? I couldn’t miss the chance to spend time with Knox since he is here. How is Briar? I spoke to her this evening, but I tried not to probe too much.” “Thanks for not doing that. She will be fine. Where is Knox?” “He just went to bed,” Eric replied. I threw him a side glare. “Mum, shouldn’t you have thrown him out of the house the minute you stepped in?” Eric gave her a deep grin while she patted his cheek. “It’s not like you two are married. It is a big house. Why can’t he stay?” Mum questioned. “See?” Eric stuck his tongue out at me. “Thanks, mama.” He drawled. “I will kill you.” I mouthed to him to keep Mum from hearing. “Where are you going? Come join us? I made dinner.” Mum called out. “I am coming. I jus

Briar’s POVWhen I asked Adrian for a ride, I just thought we would drive through the bubbling city of Atlanta and return to the house. Instead, he drove out towards North Georgia and I couldn’t be more grateful. The rolling hills and farms along the route made me feel at ease. We could go on for hours and I wouldn’t mind. I put my face out the window, taking in the comforting air. “Why are we stopping?” I asked when the car came to a halt after a long ride. “Take a look.” He pointed at the large gate that indicated we had arrived at a park. Want to go in? There is also a winery not too far from here. We could just sit on the deck and stare at the vineyard.” “The winery sounds fun,” I replied. He didn’t ask again as he turned on the car ignition. “Wow!” I stated in awe at the rows of grapevines stretching down the hill just as we settled into the chairs around the deck. Despite it being morning, the sun felt warm and the mountains in the distance looked picture perfect. All of a s

Adrian’s POV“How did the session go?” I said into the phone. There was a pause on the other end. “I can hear you breathing Ava.” “I am sworn to patient confidentiality. Why not ask her yourself?” She sounded stressed. “Dr. If she was going to tell me, I wouldn’t be having this conversation. So just give me something to work with.” I insisted, pacing the office back and forth. “She will get better.” “That’s all?” “Adrian!” She groaned. I could imagine the wrinkled brow on her forehead appearing. “Please, Ava. My life depends on this.” “That’s a cheap lie.” “I know you don’t believe me. All I am asking for is a chance. Please.” She went quiet for a while that I thought she had hung up. “I think we had a good time today. But it will be nice if she has people she can count on around her. She doesn’t seem to be the type to express herself too much.” She paused abruptly before letting out profanities. “Now that is a breach of contract and I should be punished for this. Get off my
