Brooke's pov

My head was pounding.

It feels like someone is busy with a jackhammer inside my head.

I feel bile rising in my throat and I quickly made a run to the toilet emptying my stomach.

I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth before turning the shower on. Gosh, I look and feel like shit!

I stripped from last night's clothes and stepped under the water. This headache is killing me but I can't go out smelling like I just came from the bar not to mention that I looked like someone who escaped from the loony bin.

I wash my hair and body then I turn the shower off wrapping a towel around my body and my hair.

I walked to the room and noticed a glass of water and Advil on the table. I will have to thank Georgia for taking care of that I thought as I popped a pill and drink some water.

I quickly get dressed in faded jeans and a white shirt slipping my sneakers om my feet. I decided not to blow dry my hair and put it in a messy bun before applying some face cream.

    It was Wednesday and I quickly got ready for work. I keep thinking about the dream I had last night but I know it was just a dream so I had to let it go.I walked out and said a silent prayer that Martin won't be here and to my luck, he went to work early this morning.I don't see Georgia here today only Thalia her mother who told me that Martin already left."Mrs. Taylor breakfast is ready," Thalia says as she places a plate and coffee in front of me."Thank you Thalia and can you please call me Brooke?" I asked her as I take a bite of the delicious pancakes."I will try Mrs. I mean Brooke."A knock on the door interrupted us and I saw my driver Samuel standing there all dressed up ready for work, "Good morning Mrs. Taylor are you ready?""Samuel, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Brooke?" I asked him with an eye roll."I'm sorry Mrs. Taylor but I don't think Mr. Jones would approve of me calling you by the name."Yeah, don't I know it my father gave Samuel instructions

I can't be thinking about this I'm a married woman now!Samuel announced our arrival and I got out after making sure there were no traces of me crying."Thank you, Samuel I won't be long," I informed him as he opens the door for me.I walked inside the building and the front desk lady immediately stands up, "How can I help you, Miss?" She asked me friendly."I'm here to see my husband, Mr. Taylor," I told her with a small smile."Oh yes Mr. Taylor said he was expecting you," she says walking to a private elevator."You can use Mr. Taylor's private elevator, Mrs. Taylor," the woman says as she stands in front of it."Thank you..?" "Kimberly, Mrs. Taylor," she says her name."Thank you Kimberly and please call me Brooke," I told her as I stepped into the elevator.She smiled at me as the door closes. I wonder why Martin wants to see me? I

    Martin's povI was pissed this morning when Brooke didn't show up for an important meeting. The man and woman who wants to do business want a family man, not someone who sleeps around. I was known for being a playboy and this old man don't believe me when I said I was happily married.I told them I was married but yet he didn't believe me and told me to bring my wife with me for the next meeting. I phoned her office and Katherine answered the phone telling me she will give Brooke the message.I feel like a complete dick for the way I handle the whole situation after Brooke have left I received a phone call from her driver. He told me about everything that had happened this morning saying he knows for a fact that Brooke didn't get any messages.I decided to make dinner for her to show her I'm sorry. I remember the way she was checking me out it made me feel something knowing I had some sort of an effect on her. I have always wanted her to look at me that way but sadly Daniel was the o

    Brooke's povIt was Friday which meant Jason will be visiting me this weekend. I already talked to my parents and they didn't mind I think they are looking forward to the alone time.I was on my way to my parent's house and I can't help thinking about Martin. We are actually talking to each other without trying to kill one another and I must admit it does feel nice.I haven't talked to Daniel for a while now and I somehow think it's because of what he and Katherine are doing behind my back. Katherine was acting strange this morning at the office. She was kind of mean to me but I just shrugged it off.Martin left early this morning so I didn't see him he texted me telling me had important meetings the whole day. Yes, we exchanged numbers yesterday to communicate and avoid further incidence like the other day."Mrs. Taylor we are here," Samuel says as he pulls up the driveway."Thank you, Samuel," I smiled as I got out.The front door opened and Jason came running towards me, "Brookie!"

    Samantha's povIt's Monday morning again. I groaned getting up I hate Mondays there's always something going wrong, especially for me.I haven't seen Martin since Friday night, Yesterday I took Jason out to the movies, we went ice skating, and shopping and we went to his favorite restaurant.I took him home around six much to Clair's dismay now the look on her face when I showed up that late was priceless she wanted to scold me but my parents were home so she had to keep her act up.I stayed there for a while catching up with my parents but something seemed off like they were hiding something from me. We talked about the upcoming fashion show and their business which I found weird because my father never pressured me to take over from him one day."Hey Brookie, look I have something to tell you," Nathaniel says as he closes the door behind him.I look up from my computer taking my glasses off, "What?""I don't know how you will handle this," he says scratching his head.I roll my eyes

    Brooke's povI woke up feeling an arm wrapped around me as I was cuddling someone. I frown wondering who is in my bed.I lay still as I try to remember, last night the fire I know we were downstairs and somehow I managed to get into bed, or did Marrin carry me to bed?I remember I had a nightmare last night and that's when I realized who I was cuddling I immediately shoot away from him but instead of laying on the bed, I ended up falling off face first."Ow!" I screamed as I rub my face."Are... Are you all..alright?" Martin asked as he try not to laugh but he failed miserably.Looking back up at him I notice his hand covering his mouth, "Yup just fine I was just kissing the floor good morning," I sarcastically answer him feeling myself blush.Ugh, do I always have to embarrass myself like that?"Are you sure you are alright?" He asked with an amused smile."Yup totally," I say standing up from the floor."Don't go," he said as I walked to the bathroom.'I'm not going anywhere but you

I asked them to which they reply with a no.I called a waiter over telling them to order whatever they want and that I will pay for it.As soon as the waiter left I began, "You all heard about the fire, we lost all our designs everything that means there won't be a fashion show to host this weekend," I sight thinking about all our hard work that was now ashes."Will we still be able to work?""Do we still have work?" "What are you going to do now?" All these questions came to me at once I understand their concerns."Yes we will still be able to work those of you who do the designs will be working from home and k

She asked as tears bested up in her eyes."Payton, you have a beautiful one-year-old son do you think Jackson will leave the two of you? That man loves you more than life itself.""What if?""Stop with the what-ifs! What if you guys get married today and what if you guys have a wonderful life together what if you guys get more children?
