Brie's Pov

My name's Brianna Quinn, I'm 28 years old. The proud owner of B Architecture and interior designs. I started this company at the age of 20 and here I am today. It wasn't easy though but I had support from my mum and siblings. They were there for me and I couldn't be more thankful their support. My company is everything to me and I don't take shot from anyone, my employees know best not to mess with me.

People think am a bitch and a sassy one at that but honestly am not. Am a lonely girl. I once had a best friend before college but I guess our friendship wasn't at all that important to her. All the people that I meet pretend to be "friends" when in reality it's just a way of gaining connection in the business world. I mean how can you pretend to be someone's friend for the sake of money and fame?. I just don't get it.

Am the only one left in the office and it's late so let's call it a night. I need my bed honestly. Taking my bag and stuffing my laptop in it, I grabbed my car keys. Switching off my computer, I head home.

I make my way to my private elevator into my parking lot. I was about to open my car, today I decided to ride my Maybach to work, I was startled by a voice. I looked beside me and I saw a teenager about 15 or 16 years old, dirty, skinny and he looked hungry.

Hello ma'am, he said.

"Can I get $5? I need to get something for my siblings to eat, they've been hungry for two days now.

What the actual fuck. Two days? I thought.

"Honey, where are your parents? it late and dangerous for you and your siblings.

"B-both our parents abandoned us to fend for our selves. We have no place to stay and I couldn't get a job to feed my siblings He said almost crying. He's trying not to sound vulnerable and I can see that.

"Can you take me to your siblings? I asked.

He looked reluctant. I just want to help I promise.

Ok, please come with me.

When we got to his siblings, my heart shattered into pieces, who in their right mind would leave this precious kids on the streets. I didn't know I was crying until I felt two little hands on my cheeks trying to wipe my tears, I saw that it was a boy about 2 years old making me cry even more.

"Don cway" he said in his baby voice. Wiping my tears I picked him up settling him on my hips, I look at the oldest.

"Are you from the same parents? I asked.

"yes" he replied.

"How about you kids come with me to my house?.

Ar- are you sure ma'am?

"Yes honey, I can't leave you guys here it's too dangerous. And you need to be fed, clothed and treated.

The two girls, one about 13 and the other, if am not mistaking should be 7 or 8 years old looked at their brother skeptically.

I knew I can't leave them like this, I could take care of the them. I've got the money, proper shelter and I could send them to a proper school too. its too dangerous out here for the boy, the girl and the little one.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the boy talking.

"Oh sorry", what did you say?.

"I said we will go with you.

"Are you serious? "yes ma'am. I hugged him. I am so happy that they agreed to come with me.

The little one was already sleepy and I couldn't help but feel like a mother hen.

Let's go home guys. The little guy snuggled into my chest and I a automatically wrapped my arms around him wrapping him into my jacket to keep him warm untill we got home.

When we got to the car, they all hesitated to enter.

What's wrong ? you guys okay? I asked

The older girl answered,. "won't we dirty your car?.

"Oh come on honey, don't stress yourself over it . it's just a car.

You kids should get in it's cold out here.

The elders got in the front and the girls in the back and the little guy was already asleep and he has a dead grip on my jacket not letting go, so I guess we're driving together.

Once settled we drove to my penthouse.

When we got to my penthouse, I could hear gasps coming from the kids, they were looking on awe making me smile at their innocent reactions.

I turn of the car and we got out. I adjusted the little one in my arms and we make out way to the house getting into the elevator to the 24th floor where I live. I punched in my password and we make our way in. the kids ran in looking around the house. l laid the little guy on the couch. I saw that the oldest was standing in the balcony, you could see New York City and how beautiful it is at night from there.

I walked up to him. "it's beautiful isn't it?

"yeah it is". Why are you helping us?

"Because I can't leave you guys all alone out there. Trust I've taken a liking in you kids and I want to adopt you guys if that's okay with you?

" You want to adopt us? I didn't know the girls heard us talking. " yes I want to adopt you kids".

"you are going to be our mommy? the younger female asked. "Yes if that's okay with you".

"We would love to have you as our Mom.

I hugged all three of them.

"Thank you so much, you kids don't know how happy you've made me today.

" No, you've made us happy by giving us the love of a mother even though you just met us, that just shows that humanity still exists.

    ALEX Waking up u was greeted by the most beautiful sight ever. Brie was sprawlled on me, her head on my chest and her hair covering her face. Her arm was around my torso cuddling me in a tight embrace. Our legs were tangled together. I shifted my hand that was resting on her waist to move her hair out of her face. She was sleeping peacefully, her long lashes resting just above her cheekbones, her rosy bow shaped lips in a pout. Her breathing hitting my skin in a steady pace. Her frame was much smaller than mine large frame which makes her fit perfectly in arms. Kissing her forehead, I hugged her closer to me relishing the feel of her body against mine. Waking up to the beautiful face of the woman you love sure is the best feeling in the whole universe and I can't believe she's all mine. Hugging her impossibly closer, nuzzling my head in her neck, she mumbled incoherent words hugging me tighter. I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and saw it was 6:00 am. I decided to

I said frightened, my hands on my chest. " Am sorry, honey you didn't notice me because you were busy getting all dolled up for me so I decided to admire you". he said smirking. " I wasn't getting dolled up". I glared at him. "I was just trying to look presentable". I explained because this guy doesn't know the difference between dolling up and looking presentable.

He said he's the man of the house and he needs to protect us. Sim I wonder if it's a 50 year old man stuck in a 16 year old's body". I said sighing which made David laugh.
