/Brian’s POV/ “I am still willing to marry you” I say reassuringly after a few awkward seconds of her not saying anything only for her to blink back in shock. “Why?” She manages to squeeze out.For a moment, I thought she was trying to confuse and discourage me, but after witnessing her confused expression it feels more like she is fighting a battle in her head and she is trying to convince herself that she doesn’t deserve what I want to do for her. “Hey” I whisper, taking her hand in mine. “I am marrying you because I am in love with you” I inform her so that can stop trying to convince herself that I am doing what I am doing out of pity for her, but she just bursts into an uncontrollable laughter. She asked for an answer as to why exactly I am still willing to marry her, and I gave her a befitting answer so why is she laughing out loud and making me feel like a fool?” I ask myself while allowing her to take her time to process whatever she wants to process concerning what I
/Brian’s POV/“Ugh, what’s going on here so early in the morning?” I groan half asleep as the first beam of sunlight hits my face.I cradle my pillow to my chest as I try to adjust to the change in the room, only for someone to Rudely open the blind widely, letting enough natural light into the room and causing me to squint my eyes open.“Are you awake? Or do you need me to help you to get your ass off the bed” Elliot’s voice rings out from the other end of the room and my eyes widens at the sight of him.“What the hell are you doing here so early in the morning, disrupting my beauty sleep?” I ask Elliot alarmed because I did not know when he walked into my room.“Bold of you to assume that I left the comfort of my warm bed to come all the way to this place to disrupt your beauty sleep” he says scoffing.“So why are you here” I ask him as I relax back into bed completely uninterested in what he has to say.“I was forced to come here by that hoodlum that you call your baby sister just
/Brian’s POV/I properly park my car in the parking lot before making my way into the entrance of Kings Villa before making my way to the entrance of the mansion.The two large antique doors of the main living room is widely open, so I just step into the mansion to take in the environment.When I walked out of this living room on Saturday, I thought that I was going to return to the mansion happily after taking one step closer to forever, but here I am today steeping into the house alone, back to square one.I take my seat on the white and gold sofa, opposite Elva who is way to engrossed in talking to her assistant to notice my presence.My baby sister rarely brings office work home and if she does, it is most likely that the work she has is a really urgent one and she wants to maximize her time well so that she doesn’t end up disappointing her clients.I strongly that Elva’s job as a celebrity Make up artist is not as glamorous as it looks, one of its perks is just that she is well c
/Brian's POV /"Big bear" Elva calls out to me, but I ignore her because under no circumstance am I going to allow anyone try to talk me out of confronting the selfish man that calls himself my father.on getting to the parking lot, I survey the area to see if my father's favourite car is parked in his favourite spot,but there was no trace of the car."is the chairman back?" I ask the valet on shift but he shakes his head "neither chairman nor his special assistant has returned to this house today" he answers and I nod my head in agreement, knowing that the next place that is likely for me to find my father must be Kings Corporation.the thought of calling miss Caleb, my father's special assistant to ask her about my dads current location crosses my mind, but we share no personal relationship apart from relating only when the need arises so I decide against it and make my way into the car.I can't remember how exactly I got Meelah's contact, but i know that every time my father want
/Brian’s POV/The past seven days of my life has to have been the toughest and the most painful seven days of my 24 years of existence because tell me why it is at the point that I start feeling hopeful about how things are going on in my life that the unexpected happens to me?It almost as if the situations and circumstances are already on standby, waiting for me to think everything is finally starting to make sense before they join the group chat of my life.On one hand we have Xander Kings and Embers father that are hell bent on getting me married to Eden, on the other hand there is Ember that I thought we had a proper conversation where she knew and understood my intentions for her and unborn child, so tell me why she will agree to ahead to marry the same Adrian that categorically told her to get rid of her baby because all this is not making any sense at all.I felt like a big joke when I called Ember to discuss plans of sabotaging the wedding with her that same Wednesday after I
/Brian's POV/I guess Eden’s boyfriend is right, he said that people like us can not have a free relationship so I guess I will take my fathers deal since there is nothing more for me to lose.“hey” Elliot whispers after finally joining me outside.“What are you thinking about?” he inquires and I sigh“Nothing much…” I answer totally uninterested in finding the right words to explain the storm going on in my head in words.“Have you finally made up your mind?” he inquires, with concern lacing his voice.“Did they leave me with much of a choice?” I scoff in disdain.“I know right” he answers looking at me pitifully.“don’t worry my love, you are going to be just fine” he says, opening his arms wide to hug me but I just dodge him because I am not in the mood for his antics.“So …. where do we go from here?” I ask him, ignoring the sad face that he is making to emotionally blackmail me.“lets just get our clearance over and done with so that we can rest early…..we have had a really long
/Brian’s POV/“Hey…” Elliot finally speaks up, nudging my shoulder and breaking the silence.“What is going on between you and Meelah?”“Why did she call you a coward of all things?“most importantly, when did you and Meelah start relating so well because you never mentioned that you guys are tight”“Why is she so saucy to you even though you are her boss’s son, and why is the energy between you guys extremely weird” Elliot bombards me with questions without giving me time to ponder on any of the questions.“I must have done her dirty in her past life” I try to cover what happened up with a joke even though there are lots of questions on my mind as to why she spoke to me the way she did.“don’t cover this up, I need answers from you” Elliot says sternly.“Wait a minute……” it suddenly occurs to me and I pause dramatically.“Why did you suddenly go mute when she was giving me back-to-back, but you miraculously recovered your voice to bombard me with questions after she left when you wer
/Brian’s POV/The rest of the drive after Elliot’s motivational speech was quiet because instead of overthinking my situation, my mind kept on drawing me back to what Elliot said about me being one of the strongest people that he knows and that one day I will look back on everything that happened and smile.I don’t think that I am as strong as he said, but at the same time, I can’t help but wonder if he actually meant what he said or he was just trying to make me feel better, but either way, I really needed to hear those words, so let’s just say that he said the right words to me at the right time, so I am going to take his word for it.The driver finally dropped us in front of Emerald bay hotel, so I checked into hotel but I think Elliot went to Crowne Plaza, I am not sure if I got the name correctly because my brain wasn’t settled enough to absorb the hotel name, all I just know is that he went to the hotel where his girlfriend was logged to see if he was going to get a room there.
