โAny news yet?โ George questioned Michael through the phone. โHe said he will report back tomorrow.โ โOk.โ Brielle was off to see her best friend, she knew she had a lot to explain to her. โRafaelle.โ She called as she stood in front of her desk, she ignored her and continued working. โRafaelle please can we talk, I'm sorry for ghosting you, and I think I have a logical explanation for that.โ โPlease ma, you are distracting me, can you just leave.โ โRafaelle, please don't do this, I know you are mad at me, I'm also mad at myself, just hear me out first.โ She rolled her eyes at her and went back to work. โI'm sticking here until you talk to me.โ She stood there for close to an hour and Rafaella didn't respond to her. โRafaelle, this isn't nice my legs are hurt g already don't do this to me.โ She checked her wristwatch and it was already time for lunch. โCan I take you out for lunch?โ There was no reply.โRafaelle it's time for lunch.โ Brielle heard another voice chip in. When
โNana said you have something important to tell me.โโUhhhm, it's nothing don't mind her.โ โBut she sounded serious.โ โJust get over it, if have something to say to you, I will say it.โ โOk, I thought as much, why will you need Nanaโs help to talk to me.โ Brielle let out a chuckle. They discussed other things as they drove home. George watched Brielle walk into their office with a solemn face. She walked and sat on the couch in the office. She left the office two hours ago to talk to Rafaelle, but with her expression, one can tell the outcome of it.โI think I have something to cheer you up.โ โWhat's that?โโThe Detective has reported back.โ She popped up on her seat, facing him.โWhat did he say?โโLucy is behind it.โ โI knew it.โ She leaped, walking towards her desk. George was mute he didn't know what to say. He never thought that she would do such a thing. It was at this moment that things started adding. โSo she was the cause of the failed attempt to rescue you. She tells
โI don't know how it all happened, and I lost his contact.โ She said as narrated to her father how Noah helped her. โAnd you know nothing more about him?โ โYes.โ โI will look into that.โShe spent a few hours with her Dad in the office, before going back to the hotel George lodged. Not before promising hereafter that she will join him for dinner.โWill you come with me?โ She asked George as she got ready for dinner.โDo you want me to come?โโNo.โ โYou didn't need to ask me that, all I need is just your command to come with you, and I will be trailing behind you.โ He said holding her waist. โYou look beautiful.โโThank you.โ He kissed her neck down to her shoulder. โHmmm, George stop, you need to go hey aw if you are going with me.โ He was lost in his world to pay heed to her words, he continued with his ministrations to her body. Brielle was lost in his touch, before she could stop him again, her clothes were balled on the floor at her feet. He carried her to the bed and placed
The dining became silent once more as they dug into their food. Brielle decided to overlook what she noticed reasoning that maybe her wit was playing games on her, and she was just imagining things.They moved to the living room to have a chat after dinner, the conversation was mainly George and Frederick discussing business. โSo you guys couldn't walk out with me?โ Lucy bawled at her children as they entered her room. โMom please it was your choice to leave, don't pull into your problem with Dad.โ Clifford chipped. โAnd you?โ She turned to Sapphire who was on her phone. โMom not again, you know how he is when it comes to Brielle, please don't act all surprised.โ โYour guys sat there and watched a visitor shut me up in my own house.โโYou donโt expect me to talk back at him.โ Sapphire defended herself. Clifford gaped at his mother and sister.โI'm off, see you guys later.โ Clifford declared, leaving the room.โWhy is your brother so weak?โโYou don't expect him to talk back at Ge
Brielle stood stiff, she couldn't get anything straight at the moment, everything appeared to be happening so fast, she fisted her palm in anger, she was furious, pissed, and pitiful at the same time, and her emotion was swirling. โSo this was it, all this time she has been lying with him.โ She couldn't hold her outrage anymore as she marched out to the door. โWhat are you doing?โ George obstructed the door, holding her arm.โI want to talk to that bitch.โ She blurted. โShe needs a piece of my mind.โโYou can't do that now, you need to calm down.โ She snatched her hand from his hold and went up the window. โDo you think she will come clean with him?โ โShe has the choice of either doing it or you will do it.โโHe deserves the truth, I can't believe she is so wicked, even to the man she claimed to love.โ He walked to her and hugged her from the back, wrapping his hand around her neck.โEverything will be fine.โ She sniffed rubbing her chin on his hand. There was a knock on the door
Lucy dreaded the upcoming meal, she had never hated having lunch the way she despised this one. Despite the room being full of air conditioner, Lucy has been feeling superheated, unnerved, everything chose to be wrong with her at that moment she didn't know who to lament to, after her last encounter with Brielle, she had been ramming her brain about how to evade her upcoming doom, she was tempted to call Clinton but she decided against knowing it will give him the upper hand if he finds the deep mess they are in. When she couldn't bear it anymore she let out a big outcry. Sapphire ran into her motherโs room, she screamed when she saw the state of her mother.โMom!โ She shook her lifeless body. โMom, please don't do this.โ Clifford busted into the room. He froze when he saw his mother on the floor in a pool of blood, too shocked to move, but he managed to take a little step forward. โLet's take her to the hospital.โ The Butler spoke when he came inside the room. โWhat happened?โ Bri
The food was served and they were in silence, making everything look more confusing to Brielle, they have never had a silent meal whenever she is at the table, it's always one banter and glare from either Lucy or Sapphire, and seeing them all composed came as a shock to her. Brielle has been glaring at Lucy giving all kinds of signals to speak but she seems to ignore her. They came to the end of their meal. She was about to speak when Lucy noticed this and cut her off. โBrielle, Sapphire has a few words to say to you.โ She raised her eyebrow at them, confused about the whole drama happening, she turned her gaze to Sapphire waiting for her to speak.โBrielle, I want to say I'm sorry for all my childish and rubbish behavior towards you, I know I have been out of character.โ She scowled at her. โIs that it? This whole drama this evening so this is what you guys have been up to.โโBrielle please, I know we have wronged you, all we are after is a peaceful family.โโDad.โ She called out.
โI think I fell for her pity story, which I'm not even sure it's true.โ She avoided looking at him and threw her gaze out of the window. โI made myself vulnerable for her, she saw through my facade and took the opportunity, I couldn't stand her tears and her plea, so many emotions were swirling inside of me that I didn't know what to do.โ She was so lost in her world, that she didn't notice that they had been driving around, for one hour now. He knew she needed the air. He went back to his hotel when he saw that she was asleep, he saw dried streaks of tears on her face, as he carried her up to his room. She woke up in the morning with a hand draped over her, she couldn't remember entering this room, and she was in his shirt. But she would remember the feel of this arm anytime, any day. She twisted and snuggled closer to him, burying her face in his chest. He stirred and drew her closer to his body by her waist. โGood morning.โ He mumbled as he pecked her forehead. โDid I wake you
He walked over to her slowly, not removing his eyes from hers. Brielle stood certified on her spot, she never expected him to be here so soon. โGeorge.โ She called out not knowing what to do at that moment, whether to jump on him, she was excited seeing him after such a long time, but she tried to hold her excitement because the situation didn't call for it.He walked over to her standing a foot away from her, they could feel each other breath.โLet's go inside.โ She blurted when they stood there for some time, before she could comprehend what was happening, he drew her closer to his chest and hugged her.โI missed you.โ He said as he ran his finger on her back, Brielle was lost in his scent and wished not to be separated from him again. But it eventually had to come to an end, he detached from her and held her hand leading her inside.โHi, Dad.โ She greeted when she saw her Dad sitting in the living room. โHow was your date?โ He asked trying to get a reaction from George, and he su
Brielle was surprised at how she anticipated seeing him.โDoes this mean that I missed him?โ She asked herself. โNo, I didn'tโ She pinched her cheeks, her phone rang bringing her out of her thinking, and her stomach slipped immediately after seeing the caller.โHi.โ She said when she picked up the call.โHow are you?โ โI'm fine.โโI got your test.โ She sent him a โthank youโ test for allowing her to stay in his place and that she would be staying in her fatherโs house.She hesitated before she answered.โYeah.โโElle, can we meet up today?โ She gave it a thought, not knowing what to say, what if George arrives while she is out to meet him?โI'm still here.โโHuh, sorry about that, yeah we can meet.โ She said before she could even give it another thought.โOk, I will pick you up in the next few minutes.โโYeah, ok bye.โ The call disconnected, and she stared at herself in the mirror, she never planned on seeing him so soon, until she got her life together and solved things out with Ge
โElle, please listen to me.โ George let out immediately as she picked up the call. The other side went quiet at his words. โI'm really sorry for the way everything is playing, all I'm asking is that we meet, I want to tell you everything, I want you to see the truth in all of this, which will be better if we meet.โShe didn't reply and disconnected the call, she stared at her phone like it was a foreign object, before dropping it and going into the bathroom not before making a mental note to call Nana when she comes out.She stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later and picked up her phone to call Nana. โNana.โ She called out immediately the call line connected.โElle, you scared me.โโI'm sorry, I wasn't thinking right and left.โโI understand, but try to kill this old woman before her time, she has a lot to do.โ Brielle giggles at her words.โNana, you are old, what else do you plan to do?โโWitness you walk down the aisle and then carry your baby.โ Brielle ran her fingers a
She heard a knock on her door, and she took in a deep breath before going to open the door, knowing who was behind it.โJust hear me out, please.โ She blurted immediately she opened the door and saw him standing there.โI'm so sorry the way things turned between us, I never wished it happened this way.โ It was like she couldn't remember all the have practiced to tell him, nothing was coming out of her mouth again. She stood rooted at her spot gaping at him.โI understand, I also wish my heart didn't have to make such a decision, I'm sorry for allowing you to get in my head.โ Brielle felt bad at his words, she was all ready to give him a try but with her present situation, it would be impossible.โNoah please don't say it like that, I wish this was another circumstance I would have accepted you, but with my present condition I can't.โโBrielle I knew of your condition before pouring my heart to you.โ โNo, you don't about it, how would it make you feel if I accepted your request while
โThis Is Brielle.โโOh.โโIs Noah with you?โโYes.โโCould you please give him the phone?โโHe is sleeping right now, after going on and on about how you are avoiding him because he confessed to you about how he feels.โโI wasn't avoiding him, I was only trying to get my shit life together and face him.โโYou should tell him that when he returns.โโWhen is he coming back?โโI don't know, but he thinks leaving the house will give you the space you want and make you move freely.โBrielle felt bad instantly at his words.โPlease when he gets up, tell him to call me, I want to speak with him.โโI will do just that.โ She disconnected the call immediately and slumped in her bed.Everything seemed to be happening so fast, she taking the risk to confess her love to George, only to walk in on the most unimaginable news, and then Noah, she didnโt know why he chose to do this at this vulnerable time, her stomach churned to remind of another problem she was facing, she felt nauseous and ran to th
Brielle was perplexed after last night's event, she never expected Noah to go about the whole situation in that manner, he didn't allow her to say anything, asking her to think about it. She stayed awake the whole of the night trying to digest the whole situation happenings in her life. She was overwhelmed by her growing feelings for him, but her heart still aches whenever she remembers George.โI wish things didn't go this way.โ She held her hair tightly, groaning.โI can't even look him straight in the eyes.โ She stayed in bed most of the morning lamenting the way things turned out.The knock on her door brought her back from reverie. She walked reluctantly to the door, knowing the person behind it. โYou should come down and eat, you have been up all night.โโHuh.โ She let out, surprised how he knew. โI will be down in a few minutes.โ She shut the door immediately and leaned her back against it. โShit he knew, but how.โ She smirked at nobody before dashing into the bathroom to ge
โHave you been able to reach out to her yet?โ Michael asked George who sat behind his desk working on his system.โI think I will give her a little time to get over all the drama.โ He replied.โDo you know where she is now?โ โShe flew out of the country, probably she is with her father.โ โI think you should try to reach out to her now.โโI would like to do this the way I wish.โโAnything that goes well for you.โ Michael left his office with that. George decided to give Brielle a space after he found out last night that she left the country. Maybe it will help her to calm down. ***************โIt's been two days, won't you ask why I'm here?โ Brielle asked Noah as they had their dinner. โI believe you tell me when you are comfortable.โ She shrugged it off and continued with her food, she was surprised by his action, she expected him to throw questions at her, but he kept his calm and didn't bother her. She wanted him to ask her what the problem was, she wanted to see him care, but
โI'm here to see George.โ โAnd who are you?โ The Secretary sized Sapphire, โAnd any appointment with him?โShe glared at him and walked towards the office.โNo no, you can't just go to his office.โ He ran from his desk to stop her, but before he could get to her, she sprinted and ran into the office. โWhat the hell are you doing here?โ George half yelled when Sapphire burst into his office.โI'm sorry sir.โ The secretary apologized. โAnd you let her pass you, I don't think you need this job anymore if you can't handle an intruder.โโI'm so sorry sir.โ he apologized again with his head bowed, scared to stare at him in the eyes. โI think you should face me, not him.โโAnd what the hell do you think you are doing in my office?โโOhh, I knew it, I was a fool to be nothing to your promises.โ The secretary took that as his cue to leave.โJust leave now, we will sought everything out later.โโNo no, I ain't going anywhere, we will talk here and now, and I demand answers to my questions,
Brielle woke up all sore, she felt a heavy hand draped around her waist, she noticed George stir, and she closed her eyes again. She missed his touch the seconds he removed his hand from her waist, but she refused to open her eyes. โWhen will you be tired of pretending?โ She closed her eyes tight, she felt him peck her on her lips, he lingered on her lips for quite a time.โGet off me.โ She jerked up from the bed, pushing his chest.โI thought that's what you wanted.โ He smirked, and she rolled her eyes at him. She tried to get down from the bed, but her legs betrayed her, and her thighs were hurting. She knew she needed his help to get to the toilet, but she was hesitant to ask him.โDo you need my help?โโYou wish, I could get there by myself.โโAre you sure, 'cause I thought I heard you hiss?โโQuite well, thanks.โHe turned and continued working with his laptop. โI thought you wanted to leave the room.โโYou want me gone?โโNo, yes.โ She answered confused, as she couldn't bear t
