Brielle was at the door listening to the conversation. She was confused when he referred to her as Noah’s girl, but more confused about what he meant by plan B. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't know when the door opened, and she lost her balance, falling to the ground, but Noah caught her. “Have you been eavesdropping on us?” He asked her.“Hmmm, I'm sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was just curious to know what was happening.”“You know I would have told you later.” “Yes, I'm sorry I allowed my curiosity to get hold of me.”“It's okay,” Ben said a few words to Noah and took his leave. “You already heard everything, so I don't think there is any need to update you about it.” “Are you angry?”“No, but you didn't have to eavesdrop, you could have incurred an injury.” “I'm sorry.”“It's okay.”“Do you mind if I ask a question?”“Anything but what you heard in here.” She gazed at him. “What do you mean by plan B?”“Anything but that I will answer.” He said busy wit
“What!!?” She gaped at him. “I'm sure there is another way out of this, please it's not late. She is just an innocent girl with no idea about what her father did.” She continued rambling on why Noah shouldn't go on with his plan. “Can you just stop it?” He said raising his voice. Brielle was shocked when he raised his voice. “Do you think I'm doing all this because I want because I want to make you happy, all I get is you making me feel like a bad person huh, you think I feel okay holding her hostage, but I got no choice because all I ever wanted was for you to be happy, but no I'm a monster in your eyes.” He stormed off. Brielle watched him leave the office. “Shit, this isn't the way I wanted things to go, what's all this?” She cursed out. IN NEW YORK. “Did he find him?” George asked Michael as he entered his office. “No, I think someone must be helping hide.”“And that can only be one person, the master miner of the whole incident.” “And again the person knows her well enou
She woke up and everything around her looked out of place and it dawned on her that she slept in Noah’s room. She looked beside her and saw him still sleeping, she climbed down the bed quietly so as not to wake him. Everywhere was already dark when she left the room. She couldn't believe that she slept in his room, on his bed, with him beside her cuddling her. ‘Aishh, what was I thinking, what's wrong with me.’ she stormed into her bathroom. Noah stirred in his sleep when he felt someone beside him, he was surprised to see her on his bed, he noticed her stir and closed his eyes. He felt disappointed when she left, but this happened to be one of his best mornings. The smile was wiped off his lips when he remembered the reason she was here. ‘No, I must find another way around this.’ Then he giggled when he remembered what Ben said to him. Dinner was awkward for Brielle she tried as much to avoid eye contact with Noah, and she noticed his gaze on her. “Thanks.” Noah said when he re
She detached from him, to catch her breath, but he still held her waist with their forehead touching. “Elle.” He called out, trying to maintain his breath.“Yes.” She moved away from him and sat on her bed. “About what I said in the morning.” “Huh.” She responded confused about what he was talking about. “Forget it.” He “You can't be serious, just say it.”“No, you have had enough for today, it's time to sleep.” “I know when to sleep, I'm no more a kid, can you just voice it.”“Sleep, good night.” He said, before pecking her forehead and leaving her room.Brielle woke up feeling ecstatic, and weird at the same time, she couldn't believe what happened last night, and the fun fact that they acted like nothing happened was more amusing to her. She couldn't fathom why she didn't regret the kiss, but she was feeling guilty.And then boom she remembered the pen drive, she looked around for it, but couldn't find it. Concluding that Noah had it last night, she went about her daily morni
“What did they say?”“It was caused by a default in the car.”“I don't get it, he normally has his driver check the car before he leaves in the morning.”“Yes, that's why I'm surprised.”“And he drove by himself when the accident occurred.”“Yes.” The room became silent as the pair pondered over what could have caused the accident. “I think we should ask the driver questions.” Brielle spoke out.“Wait, what's your thought? That the old man might have a hand in this.” Michael reacted.“Michael I think that at this point, everybody is a suspect at this moment.”“Ok, if you say so.” Their discussion was interrupted when the door opened and Yaya walked in. She ran to her grandson and cuddled his face. “Oh, George.” She stared at his face, she was so concerned about her grandson’s health, that she didn't notice the two in the room. She stood petrified for a second when she raised her head and saw Brielle before she ran to her side. “Brielle, where have you been?” She asked as she engulf
It had been three days of staying in the hospital, and George wanted to leave the hospital. Michael came to the hospital the next morning following George's recovery. When Brielle inquired about the camera, he told her that nothing was found there. Nobody was seen around the car in the underground park. She found it hard to accept that what happened was a mechanical default, but since there was nothing to show that it was planned, and with George insisting that they let it go. Which came as a surprise to them. “I'm strong enough to be discharged.”“We would like to monitor your health for a few more days before you will be discharged.” “I can't stay here for another day.” “Pappy, just let the doctor do their work.” He rolled his eyes at her for calling him by that name.“I will stay if only you agree to my terms.” George said giving Brielle an evil smirk. “Not again George.” She understood what he was speaking of. “Then I would like to be discharged.” “It wouldn't actually hur
George took out his phone and looked up for any potential businessman that goes by the name. “There is no name of that such here.” Arielle drew closer and peered into his phone. “Are you sure he told you his real name?” “Why does he have to lie, he just helped me, so there is no reason for him to lie about his name.”“That's a good course, so why is his name not here?” “Let me a look.” He passed the phone to her and after going through the phone, she turned and stared at George. He shrugged his shoulder. “Maybe he has another name I don't know of, maybe a business name.” “Why are you coming up with as many excuses for him?”“I'm not. Ok, let me call him.” She searched her phone for his number but realized that it wasn't there anymore. “I think I lost his contact.” George groaned. “I think we have had enough for the night, is time to get some sleep.” She collected the phone from him. “You mean couldn't look him up?” Michael blurted. George narrated the event of last night to hi
“Any news yet?” George questioned Michael through the phone. “He said he will report back tomorrow.” “Ok.” Brielle was off to see her best friend, she knew she had a lot to explain to her. “Rafaelle.” She called as she stood in front of her desk, she ignored her and continued working. “Rafaelle please can we talk, I'm sorry for ghosting you, and I think I have a logical explanation for that.” “Please ma, you are distracting me, can you just leave.” “Rafaelle, please don't do this, I know you are mad at me, I'm also mad at myself, just hear me out first.” She rolled her eyes at her and went back to work. “I'm sticking here until you talk to me.” She stood there for close to an hour and Rafaella didn't respond to her. “Rafaelle, this isn't nice my legs are hurt g already don't do this to me.” She checked her wristwatch and it was already time for lunch. “Can I take you out for lunch?” There was no reply.“Rafaelle it's time for lunch.” Brielle heard another voice chip in.
