/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.
/Meelah’s POV/Elliot opens the door for me with a mixture of shock and disappointment in his eyes, but it took me a lot to finally locate Brian and Elliot, after Elliot messed up the accommodation plan that I set in place for them, making it difficult for me to make inquiries about their location from others without giving off the vibe of an obnoxious ex.“I know that I am the last Person that you are expecting to show up at your door at this moment, but Can we talk?” I try to construct my sentence in my mouth before putting it to Brian, but he and Elliot just stare at me like I just stepped out of a horror movie.“Alone” I add but both of them don’t seem to be paying attention to what I am saying, so I go closer to Brain since he is the one I came here for. I startle Brian out of his thoughts by snapping my well-manicured finger in front of him, and on getting his attention, I take a deep breath as I try to coordinate myself because the weird reception that they gave me is startin
/Brian’s POV/Isn’t it very strange that my father’s assistant of all people, came to knock on the door of Elliot’s room and asked to talk to me after she legit insulted me at the airport for being a coward that couldn’t stand up to his father.I could read the uneasiness on her face with Elliot’s presence in the room, an expression that I have never seen before, so I asked Elliot to go on with the preparations for the bachelor’s eve that he was rambling about before Meelah walked in.Elliot has been engrossed with planning my wedding despite the fact that I didn’t want the wedding to happen and he isn’t such a big fan of weddings because of how his parents turned out, but falling in love with Dianne has changed his mentality about everything concerning love and marriage, so it was expected that anything marriage related will get him out of the room without questions.After getting Elliot out of the room so that I could concentrate on what Meelah had to say, but she had nothing to say
/Brian’s POV/I have nothing else to lose by hoping that Meelah will be able to do something about my wedding to Eden like she claimed and there is a 50:50 chance she will really do something about it, so I am going to take her word for it.“The day is still very young, so instead of waiting for Meelah to make a move, it is better to take the well desired nap that Elliot deprived me from having earlier just for us to come to have ‘fun’” I decide as I make my way to the door.“perfecto” I let out a satisfied smile as I hang the do not disturb sign on the door knob, before making my way back into the room to the room to take a nap since it won’t make sense for me to start locking the door of Elliot’s room, depriving him access into his own room, the ‘do not disturb’ sign is just the best bet for me.‘I think this is the most peaceful that I have felt in the last ten days, but I think I would have felt at peace earlier if only I was able to connect the dots that Melanie Caleb has been t
/Brian’s POV/After Elliot explained his plans about how we were going to spend the rest of our day, I got a call from Elva that her team were already waiting for Elliot and I in front of my room to help us get ready, and I tried to discourage her that I am not like a lady that needs help with getting dressed, but my sister is really stubborn so she refused and told me that I should get myself and my best man to my room in Emerald bay otherwise she was going to track down my location to come over to where I am to fetch me herself.First of all, Elva is the main stylist in charge of the event and because of how impromptu the whole wedding is, her team is short of staffs so ember has to take care of the star of the show that includes my mom, the two brides and their mom, all by herself so that she can be rest assured that there won’t be any major slip ups that will cause the wedding to be delayed.Secondly, she has to supervise the hair and make-up of the brides’ friends before going ah
/Meelah’s POV/I stormed out of Eliot’s room after making it clear to Brian that if he doesn’t call of the wedding I will, but the truth is that I don’t know how I am supposed to go about it, especially when I know that the only reason why my best friend is doing this is because she doesn’t want to be the reason why Ember gets robbed of the opportunity to marry Adrian that she has been secretly crushing on since college.The problem that I have right now is that Ember has no idea that her sister is making such a huge sacrifice for her because Eden made me swear that I wasn’t going to tell either Ember or the other girls, but the weight of this secrete is killing me.I have seen Eden’s emotional state go from bad to worse since she agreed to marry Brin kings, she even had to break up with the love of her life just because of the big sister role that she has been play9ing for a long time, and she feels obligated to continue doing it.I once asked Eden why she referred to herself as the
