Brian’s POV
“God! I can’t believe this!”I yelled to myself in my car.“Sir where are we headed?”“Shine Bar”My driver asked and I replied then pulled in my tie and tossed it on the seat.We got to the bar, and I remained sitting in the car, I looked out the window and noticed a lady staggering, thinking she was one of those drunk strippers I turned away, “but wait she’s not dressed like a stripper” I said to myself, but I unknowingly voiced it out.“Who boss?” My driver asked.“Ryan that girl, she looks drunk” I pointed out for him.“Why is Mr Cyrus chasing after her?”“Chasing?!” I said and got out of the car and Ryan did the same, if Cyrus is following a drunk looking girl, I know it can’t be anything good.I stood and watched the girl as she walked, she looked red, I started walked slowly towards her, she kept looking back while walking then she bumped into me, without even looking up to see who I was she muttered “help me” then passed out, I could tell she wanted to say more but she didn’t get to say it, and something in me broke seeing her in this state even though I don’t know her.“Aha haha Mr Smith, it’s you” Cyrus said when he got closer.“Yes, it is me and I would like to know why you are standing in front of me right now”.I asked giving him a cold stare.“Oh, that haha, but the lady in your arms, sh..she...she’s mine, if you can just hand her back to me, I will be out of your way”.“Yours? how come?”“We were together, and she had too much to drink, she ran off to get fresh air”.“Mr Cyrus do you say the way she’s holding on to me?”“I can see that, erm I apologize on her behalf, I’ll train her better when we get home” he said then reaches out to touch the girl, but Ryan smacks his hand.“Mr Cyrus if you attempt to lay a hand on my girlfriend again, I will chop of your fingers”.“Ha! Mr Smith, you don’t even know this girl!”“Says who, she’s my woman are you really going to argue that with me?” “No no no sir” he says then quickly retreats.I look down at the girl in my arms then carry her to the car, “Ryan to the hotel, I’m not in the mood to drink anymore”.I arrive at the hotel with the girl in my arms to see my mom sitting at the reception, she notices me and quickly rushes to me, giving me a doubtful stare, she asks, “Brian who is she?”“Mom” not know what to say, that was all I could utter, “Son, who is she? so she’s the one that has been taking up your time recently hmm?”, seeing that I wasn’t going to give her any replies she turns to Ryan, Although Ryan works for my family, he’s also like a brother to me.“Ryan tell me, who is this lady?”“She’s Brian’s future girlfriend” the minute Ryan said this, I felt like my head would burst open, “Ryan!!!!” I yelled in my head but maintained a calm demeanor.“Mom, I need to get to my room so she can rest” I said hoping my mother would want to leave, but no, “Ok son, let me come with you, I’ll leave after a while” she offered to come with me.“Alright boss I’ll be in my room” Ryan said with a smirk and walked off.
“Ryan I will come for you later” I said in my head, and I walked to the Elevator.I got to my room and my mom helped me open the door, I walked in and softly laid the girl on the bed then her purse fell the ground with its contents pouring out, my mom began to pick it up while I still tucked in the girl in bed after taking of her shoes.“Stacy Bennet, she has a lovely name son”.I heard my mom say then I turned around to see her with with what looked like a work ID and a glass of water she put on the table, thank God, I know her name thanks to my mom.“Thanks mom” I said then got the purse from my mom and dropped it on the side table.“She’s beautiful too, and I can’t believe I’ll have a daughter-in-law soon, but then Brian, why were you so bothered by your father’s threat of you losing the company if you don’t get a partner, you have her don’t you?”“Mom, Ryan did say future girlfriend, I’m still trying to get her to say yes to me, she’s not mine yet”. “Oh, I see, she will definitely say yes to you soon” she says then her phone rings, I immediately said a thousand thanks to the Lord in my head when she got up after the phone call saying she was leaving.“Ok bye mom”“Bring Stacy to the house sometime, Ok son!?” “Yes, mom I will”After closing the door, I went and sat on the chair close to the bed, where my mom had sat earlier,“What has Ryan gotten me into?” I said pulling on my hair, out of frustration I drink the cup of water that was on the table, few minutes later, I started feeling hot, I stepped into the bathroom to shower and when I came out, I was slightly better but then I saw Stacy awake and she had unbuttoned her shirt and was trying to take it off.
“Hot..it’s so hot in here” she said sounding like she was about to cry, and suddenly my body became hot again and I could feel something else, Stacy looked soo beautiful, no wonder the Pervert Cyrus wants her, now I want her too. All this was going through my head while I stood close to the bed, then suddenly I felt something soft on my lips, then hands began undoing my shirt, a part of my wanted to stop her, but at the same time I couldn’t bring myself to do it, suddenly she runs her hand into my hair, then I pressed my body against hers, holding her waist, she fell to the bed and I began raining kisses all over her body.The Smith’s Home.Mrs Smith came home very happy, she was so happy she went into the kitchen to cook food saying she wanted to celebrate with her husband when he gets back, a maid had to built up the courage to ask her what made her so happy to the extent of cooking.“It’s a secret, my Son has proven himself to not be what the news says he is, my son is courting a girl, and they are in an hotel together as we speak!”. She said and unconsciously flung the spoon in her hand,“Madam!”“Ma’am!”“Madam!”All three maids shouted at the same time, “Madam please be careful” one said while picking up the spoon then rinsing it and handing it back to Mrs Smith.Soon Mr Smith got home, Mrs Smith excitedly took his bag and suit and handed it to one of the maids.“Hon, I prepared Dinner” she said and sat next to him instead of across him on the table.“Val are you sure you’re ok?, why are you so excited and happy?, did you win something?”“Even better!”“Then tell me what it is” Mr Smith replied impatiently.
“You’re so boring, you can’t even guess, Brian has a woman!” She said excitedly.“Sorry come again” “Brian has a girlfriend, well she’s not his girlfriend yet, she hasn’t said yes to him according to...”“So he felt threatened by what I told him this morning and went to look for a fake girlfriend?” Mr Brian said interrupting his wife.“What!? Why would he say that, I saw them earlier when I went to visit Brian, UNANNOUNCED ” She’s said stressing the “unannounced ““Then why hasn’t he brought her home before?, how come he has never said anything about her? “Oh Jared, Don't you know how our son thinks, he has your pride” she said pointing her index finger at him“‘My pride!?, aren’t you the one with more pride?”
“Oh please, anyways I think he wants to make sure she’s his before he brings her to us”
“Whatever he’s doing, he had better do it well, now can I eat without having you in my face”
“Oh oh sorry” she said then leaves the room still in a happy mood.
Stacy woke up early and felt something holding her, she jerked a little before noticing a beautiful face in front of her, she was stunned, she started remembering the late nights events, how The old greasy man had tried to get her, she couldn’t remember how she became weak, then suddenly she remembered what happened between her and this man lying next to her and her face flushed red, “he called me beautiful, I kissed, I kissed him, oh my god!”, she squealed then immediately put her hands over her mouth,“Why did he stop? wait what am I saying? Stacy get your head together”.She said then gathered her clothes and left the hotel, unknown her she had left herpurse which contained important items.Stacy got to hers and Gina’s apartment, thinking Gina wouldn’t be home she enters the house noisily, she is shocked when she sees Gina sitting in the small living room and watching TV, “G-Gi-Gin-Gina! Why are you home? don’t you have work today?” “I was given today off, my boss is quite good to
Minutes after Stacy left, Gina woke up again and drank from the cup that Stacy left for her, then she noticed the note."Gina get well soon, you don't have to come in to work today, if I see anyone that knows you at work, I'll let them know you're not feeling too good, Okay? Take care of yourself I love you, and you breakfast is in the kitchen, you can microwave it before eating, Love You!* After reading the note, Gina put down the paper then slowly got off the bedWorkplace...Stacy got to the company but stood outside admiring how huge it was, then some caught her eyes in a distance, she was sure the person she just saw looked like the man she spent the night with because she had taken a quick glance at him before she fled.Shoving the possibilities out of her head, she finally stepped into the building.Not knowing exactly where to go or where to go or what to do, she began looking around and almost walked past the Receptionist. "Excuse me miss, how may I help you?" She said loud e
"Do you still think he's petty?""You see my boss doesn't do anything for no reason at all"Ryan says before he pushed open a door and walks in with Stacy following closely behindHave a seat over there. Brian will be here soon.He says then walks out, not long after he stepped out he came back in and Stacy lifted her head to look at him,Your file, hand it over he said then left again after collecting it from her.Now alone in the office Stacy began observing everything around her then she notices a photo frame racing down on the table she slowly reaches out to pick it up.HandsomeShe says then continues to look at the photo."why does he look so familiar?" She says to herselfthen a memory flashes in her head."He can't be the same person from that night, that can't be possible" she says with a nervous laugh, her palms and forehead getting sweaty, "I made out with the boss of Smith Holdings? Isn't he gay?" She says to herself in her head, then moves to put the photo back but slip
"Soo, l'Il be marrying you for real?""Why do you say it like it's such a bad thing, i'd also be helping you out since you just lost both your jobs and you need to take care of your mother"."Are you stalking me?" She asked shocked at how he knew all this about her."Stalking you? You wish Lu".He says while signing the paper in front of him."Then how do you..""I wouldn't propose something like this to you if I haven't done a full background check on you, and I'm really grateful I bumped into you that night"."I... can I sleep on it?""There's no time for you to sleep on it, you're getting a rich husband for free, you should be happy"."How long are we going to keep up this act for?""A year and you're not allowed to fall in love with me"."Who's falling in love with you?""I'm being serious" Brian said with a straight cold face.Seeing his mood change from playful to cold so fast Stacy became a little scared, "why can't he just tell his parents that he likes men, I mean the whole c
Brian took his time to Analyze everything his dad says then he made a self-realization that Avery is a little bit dumb."I hurt her? Oh please, when is she going to stop behaving like a spoiled child? Remind her that she 24 and will be 25 soon and she needs to start working on getting herself a suitable husband, instead of clinging onto someone who isn't interested, that's all I have to say, you can hang up now" Brian says then put down his phone, then sneakily glanced at Stacy and saw she was already looking at his then he looked down at his table."Stacy, do you want to go out tonight?"he asks while arranging the papers on his table."Huh? Oh, um I don't know, I don't know if Gina is better, so I have to go home and check up on her"."Oh, is that so? Send my regards to her, and I will see you bright and early tomorrow morning".Brian says then Stacy gets up from the chair and turns to walk out."What kind of girlfriend doesn't kiss her boyfriend goodbye?" Brian says before Stacy cou
Gina walked back to Stacy with two bottles of water and plain donuts, then she passed the bottle to her first, “Here, drink some water first, I got donuts, you have to eat something” she said and Stacy nodded her head in response.Stacy was eating the donut when a nurse finally came out, Stacy immediately rushed towards her “h-how is my mom, is she okay?”“I’m sorry you have to wait for the doctor, sorry again I’ll take my leave now” the nurse said then hurriedly walked away, Stacy stood waiting for the door to open again, she started feeling slightly dizzy and wanted to sit down but just then the doctor came out and she hurried to meet him, “doctor doctor,tell me how is my mom she- she’s going to be alright right?”“Can we speak in my office please?” The doctor asked seeing how shaky and unstable Stacy was. “No please tell me here, is there anything wrong with my mom? Tell me!”“Did you know that you mother has arrhythmia?“I knew... I know, it’s just that I...”“She now also has a br
Stacy?” Gina whispered to herself when she got to the door she looked from the glass and saw the nurses in the the room using a defibrillator on her, then the doctor arrived with Brian.“Doc-Doctor what’s happening, why is she- what- why is she like that?” She asked holding on to the doctor's coat.“I’m not exactly sure, please excuse me let me go and and see What’s wrong” seeing that she had no choice but to let go, she released her hold on the doctor and began to cry.“Dear God, please! Please! Save mom and Stacy, I cannot lose another family! God please!” She shouted and fell to the ground, Ryan not knowing how to react simply hugged her tightly till she stopped crying, then he led her to sit on the bench chair again.Brian followed behind them slowly, he looked at Gina and felt really bad for her, then he gave her and Ryan some distance again. who said Brain Smith didn’t have a heart, he does. Brian is also struggling with the whole situation, he’s extremely worried about Stacy, b
“Stacy!”A voice called and they all turned at once to see who it was. To Stacy and Gina, they wondered who the elderly looking woman was and how she knew Stacy, while Brian was shocked to see his mother speed walking towards them.“M-Mmmom” Brian called but only got ignored as his mom went to hug the Stacy who immediately turned stiff when she felt the hug.“Oh, my dear future daughter-in-law! dear child! Are you okay? I came as fast as I could” she said worriedly then turned to Brian and hit his shoulder, “you horrible horrible child! My future daughter- in-law and her mother were in danger, and you didn’t tell me! Why did I even give birth to you” she yelled then turned to Stacy again, “Stacy dear are you okay?”“Ma’am, I’m okay I...”“No you’re not okay! I know Brian has been treating you badly right? That’s why he didn’t tell me you were all at the hospital right?” She asked holding on to Stacy’s shoulder, seeing Stacy turning to look at Brian and not giving any response, she let
At the hospital, Stacy slept for a really long while and when she eventually woke up, she saw a buff man standing not too far away from her bed, she was about to scream, and seeingthat she was about to, the man rushed forward to cover her mouth then he spoke. “Mister Smith sent me”After that he felt her calm down, then he hastily removed his hands and stepped back, and began the pack her belongings in the room.Stacy watched as the imposing figure of Brian’s bodyguard, clad in a tailored suit, moved around swiftly in the room as he picked up things that looked like they belonged to her and also asked for her to confirm ownership.“Is this man only surrounded by beautiful people, even his bodyguard is so handsome!”She thought to herself as she watched the bodyguard.Someone enough was done, and Stacy had freshened up and changed her clothes, the guard walks ahead of her to open the door. Unfamiliar with such treatment, she hesitates before stepping out of the room, he helps her chec
After she was done scolding Gina, Stacy raised her gaze to meet Brian's, but as their eyes connected, Brian quickly averted his gaze from her."Are you blushing, Boss?" Gina remarked, observing the slight redness on Brian's face."Aegina!" Stacy sharply called out, lightly reprimanding Gina with a smack on the arm."Stacy, Gina is not mistaken. Look at him – his face and even his ears are red," Anna pointed out, making Stacy a bit nervous but she promptly responded. "Mom, it's getting late. I think you should go home and rest now. You've just recently been discharged from the hospital, and I..." Stacy began hurriedly, but her mom interrupted her."I understand how much you want me to leave right now, and I was about to go anyways. Take care of yourself," Anna expressed before picking up her bag and gently guiding Gina to stand.Brian remained rigid at the door, visibly embarrassed. He found himself in an unfamiliar situation and was uncertain about how to retro it. As Anna spoke with
The shop owner forcefully dragged Evie back into the shop, pulling her to a corner. After briefly stepping out, he returned. In that moment, Evie was in tears, because she knew exactly what awaited her.While driving to the hospital, Brian called Ryan, who answered promptly. "Brian, I'm your half-brother and personal assistant, not your girlfriend. How many times will you call me in a day?" Ryan said playfully. Brian who could tell he was joking around chose to be serious in response."If you don't want me to call you anymore, that's fine; I won't call you," he said, waiting for Ryan's reply, but it never came."Aren't you going to answer?" he asked, feeling slightly frustrated."Oh, I thought you were going to hang up after you were done talking, so I decided not to say anything.""RYAN!""AARON!""I'll get you!" Brian said with a laugh, then switched up immediately, remembering the reason for his call."I was at a bakery a few minutes ago; I could sense the owner of that place is sh
After leaving his house, Brian drove back to the hospital to check on Stacy. While driving, thoughts of the look Ryan had given him earlier that day when he saw him holding Stacy’s hand lingered. He understood the meaning behind that look – Ryan was teasing him, teasing him about Stacy. Brian, realizing he was getting distracted, slowed down and parked his car by the side of the road.“Why can’t I stop thinking about her?” he exclaimed out loud, then rested his head on the steering wheel in irritation. After some minutes, a knock on his car window interrupted his thoughts. Looking up, he saw a young girl staring at him intently. Brian rolled down the window to hear what she had to say.Frustration evident on his face, he asked “what?!”.“Um sorry you can’t park here, you’re parked directly in front of our shop” she said then pointed to the bakery behind her.“We didn’t say anything earlier because we thought you were a customer who wanted to quickly get something because even customer
After thinking to herself Valerie made an internal decision that Avery won’t easily be forgiven this time, she finally looked at Avery’s parents and spoke up. “Rita, Jacob...” she called to them but Avery’s father, Jacob immediately replied. “We will book a flight for Avery, she’ll go back to her modeling, i...we will make sure she doesn’t bother Brian and will definitely reflect on her mistake, she will also apologize to Stacy before she leaves.“WHAT!!!”Avery sat on the floor as she listened to everything her father said, and as much as she was against it, she didn’t have the strength to refute anymore but the minute her father mentioned her apologizing to Stacy, her body reacted before she could think."Dad! No! I can do anything but apologize to that lowlife!" She yelled. The moment she uttered her sentence, a hard slap landed on her face, shocking both her and her parents. The person who had slapped her was Valerie.After Valerie had slapped Avery, one of the housemaids discreet
Although it wasn’t easy to find the actual location of the men holding Avery, Ryan managed to locate it, enabling Brian’s team to save her and take her to his house. For the first time in his life, Bryan left his work unattended, sitting at the hospital waiting for Stacy to wake up. Anna and Gina joined him, after a while they back to worry about Stacy not waking up yet.Noticing their worry Brian then spoke up, “she is probably just really tired, that’s why she hasn’t woken up yet, I was here through the night, nothing could have happened to her, don’t worry too much”. He said and Anna looked at him in shock, surprised that he had noticed her worriedness, Gina’s reaction was no different, she began to wonder when her cold boss became so attentive.In that’s moment, Brian’s phone rang, he then picked it up and saw it was Ryan calling, that was when he remembered about Avery, then he hurriedly picked up the call.“Sorry Ryan I completely forgot about Avery’s issue”. He said immediately
Brian stayed with Stacy longer than he had expected, even after she fell asleep. He took a seat close to her bed, eventually reaching out to hold her hand while staring at her with mixed emotions. As his eyes grew heavy, he fell asleep, still holding onto her hand.Outside, Gina, feeling tired, grabbed the bag of clothes she had brought for Stacy and entered the room. Seeing Brian asleep with his head on Stacy’s bed, holding her hand, Gina smiled happily before quietly leaving. Once outside, she spotted Anna and signaled her to be quiet when she noticed she was about to speak.Approaching Anna, she whispered, “Stacy and Brian are asleep.” Anna then took Gina's hand, leading her to sit on the bench chair. “Mom, I'm starting to feel hopeful about their relationship,” Gina said eagerly the moment they sat down.“Why all of a sudden?” Anna asked, observing Gina's expression.“Mom I’ve known Stacy almost my entire life, I can tell she feels something for Brian, it’s probably their contract
Avery rushed inside in a panic after Brian left, frantically calling Jeff again since he hadn’t text her or called back.“Why isn’t he picking up!?” She yelled in a hushed tone then threw her phone to the ground after Jeff had still not picked up any of her calls, and just then her phone lit up and began ringing, she rushed towards the phone and saw it was Jeff calling, she immediately picked up and did wait for him to speak then she started asking him questions.“Why haven’t you been picking up!? Did you do what I asked? Where is she now? Why did Brian come to my house, did he catch you? Look I’ll send you the money once you send me the video!” After noticing that the other side said nothing Avery looked at her phone to see if he hung up, but the call was still on.“Jeff why aren’t you saying anything!?” She asked, “Avery really?” A chillingly familiar voice answered and Avery’s whole body went cold in shock as sherecognized the voice to be Valerie’s."Aunt, why are you... Why did y
Stacy woke up in a hospital room and realized she was moved to a recovery room. Arlo excused himself, leaving Gina with Anna, and Valerie. Gina explained the chaotic events that led to this moment, and as Stacy processed it all, she thought about Brian and remembered how he fought against Jeff while carrying her, and how hard he tried to protect her from him.Feeling concerned about Brian's whereabouts, Stacy asked, "Where is Brian?" Her hoarse voice and a sharp hiss of pain revealed the toll her injuries took as she tried to sit up.Upon hearing the question Stacy had asked, not wanting Gina to let her know about Avery having anything to do with what happened to her, Valerie came closer to Stacy, searing herself beside her, she gently took her hand and answered her saying “Stacy dear, Brian is going to be here soon, he just stepped out for a while” realizing what Valerie was trying to do, Anna felt a little bit angry but she decided not to say anything as well, Gina who was completel
