Novel & Cerita Little Briar Rose Story

He wanted to see me broken and cornered, but I was showing him that even with the law at his back, I still owned the one thing he couldn't touch. While my mouth was crushed against hers, masking the movement of my lips from the cameras and the feds below, I spoke directly into her mouth, my voice a barely audible vibration against her tongue. "The bottom drawer," I whispered against her lips, our breaths mingling. "The hidden panel at the back. Press it twice. The wall behind the bed opens. Go." I broke the kiss abruptly, leaving her lips swollen, wet, and panting in the red light. Her green eyes flared with instant understanding, the stubborn spark in her gaze reigniting. She knew exactly w

Bryant's pov When I looked behind my shoulder and Kiara was still on the floor packing the broken glasses so I went back to the intercom holding it firmly and after telling Kiara once more that we needed to talk after I had managed to sneak away from Anna. Kiara mumbled something that I didn't catch and I asked her to repeat it. She told me that I didn't matter and that made me even more curious about it. I found out that my voice was almost rising enough to catch Anna's attention and I reduced it instantly.

Brielle didn't answer me. All she did was hum at my presence, face the magazine, and resume with her work. My smile faded, leaving me bothered. I was beginning to doubt the gift, feeling she'd reject it. "You can never tell. Just do it," I persuaded myself, pushing on. Clearing my throat, I said, drawing closer to the bed, "I was heading home and came across a store." Carefully, I pulled the green rose from behind and presented it to Brielle. When she saw it, her eyes flashed in surprise.

The limbs of the tree stretched out as they began to twirl around her feet, carefully dancing around her legs. Brielle stood motionless and wide eyed as they tightened around her, unsure of their next move. Gradually, as the branch spread up her body, Brielle’s feet started lifting off the floor. She let out a wary gasp, as her eyes quickly met Arlen’s, who was steadily raising his finger higher and higher. The branches matched Arlen’s movements, as though they were perfectly in sync, and continued to take her further off the ground. The corners of Brielle’s lips curved into a smile as she observed her new friend in amazement. Not done with his show just yet, Arlen lifted the palm to his fre

Then they were stopping into the estate for a couple nights to pick him up. It would be a handful, adding another little one into the mix, but I had Sahara’s help back home and I was happy to help them out. “Mamma!” I heard Brynn holler. “Rose crunched my castle.” We turned to see that Rose had, in fact, accidentally stepped on the castle that Brynn and Brielle had been working on. Tears prickled her little eyes as she flung herself on me, causing the chair to topple over and my drinks to go flying.

All this for Briar who was about to make him bankrupt. After waiting for about five minutes, the lights were turned on and all of the guests echoed surprise. Briar’s reaction was even more dramatic than I thought it would be. She froze then began to cry as soon as Theo walked up to her with some flowers. The scene was excruciating to watch. After a while, Theo looked towards me. “Come,” He muttered. I hated that everyone’s gaze was about to be on me. I slowly walked over to him and stood right next to Briar who held my hands tightly and had a huge smile on my face.

"Please just let me explain. I was trying to do something good. I wanted to give you something real. I just wanted you to see me." He looked at her for one more second. Then he turned to Vivienne, and Vivienne took his hand, and they walked toward the pavilion together, and the crowd followed, and the torches along the path lit them both gold, and Briar sat in the dirt and watched every single person she knew walk away from her without looking back. The field went quiet. She was completely alone. She pressed both hands flat against the cold ground and tried to make herself feel something other than this. She could not. It sat in her chest like a stone, heavy and permanent.

Briar's POV Rosé, my friend, shouted from a distance, "Briar, you can do it!" I gulped hard as my throat was dry, took a few steps towards the corridor I turned back and saw five bastards, signalling me to go forward. I was scared and trust me that’s an understatement Of course, who wouldn't be? I was given a dare to steal the student record book from the principal's office. I still don't understand why do they want it? But recalling back our game last night at the dorm, I cursed under my breath for choosing dare.

A small club called Claire Delune, fixed in the heart of the city, is the prime spot for gang lords, criminals, and dark characters alike. It is because of the clientele that I work here. They are the ones who can give me the intel I need to solve the biggest unsolved mystery in my life. Who or what killed my brother. My name is Briar Atwood, and I'm twenty-one years old. I'm an orphan who lost her parents at the precious age of two due to a car accident. After that, my brother, who was thirteen years older than me, became my caregiver and my only family despite only being in high school.

Yup, that was Kiara, his so-called fiancée, whom he despises with everything he has in himself. Kiara came near him and circled her arms around his neck and stood close to him. “o baby… it’s just that I was missing you and wanted to spend some time with you. As for what you said earlier, let me remind you not to use such a tone with me next time. And as for my patients, that can be handled by that Sakshi- “
