**BEAUTY'S POV**I know there's fire on the mountain this time around,Bruno suddenly turned white as if he was blood drained."This generation need more serious prayers than I thought"grandma said feebly,shaking her head,I swallowed hard,as beads of sweat run down my wet neck,then she turned to me,my heart raced."Seriously.. after our discussion the last time?".I was about to open my mouth to say ,nothing actually then she snapped her fingers at us"now you two get on your knees quick!!!"she bellowed.We both glanced at eachother in confusion,she gave me a death stare and i quickly went on my knees,Bruno hesitated a little longer before he went on one kneel,grandma pushed the other down.I tried not to laugh,she was really strong,Bruno whined ,mumbling words."You are adults quite Alright but I won't ignore the fact that you two disrespected me and ignored my advise the last time"She was really angry,that it scared me,but Bruno didn't seem concerned about all of this,he was playing
**BEAUTY'S POV** I waited impatiently for Bruno to come and see me off,my heart raced,I have to tell him,I can't keep this to myself, but how will this make him feel,what am I going to do."I will call you back".His voice woke me up from my deep thoughts ,I look up and found him approaching quickly,I stood up and walked to him,grabbed on his hand."What's wrong?your hand is shaking"he asked curiously.I avoided his eye contact,I was so helpless ,he could see it through my eyes and that feelings like I just cheated on him,his father's hands on my bossom was a shock,I was yet to recover from. "Can you please see me off to my place..."I pleaded,he stared at me for a while and opened his mouth to say something but got interrupted by Mr Hathaway's assistant."Sir Bruno ,you're needed here please".My face turned pale after I heard that. Bruno sighed and turned to me,holding my hands and squeezing them softly. "Hey....don't be sad,I will video call you when I get a chance
**BEAUTY'S POV**"What ,what ,gosh am dead!"I woke up following that loud scream from Bruno,only to realize that I had slept off,while typing those documents. I carefully removed a paper glued to my cheek ,slowly I glanced at the blurred image of Bruno opposite me."What's wrong baby"i asked and yawned tiredly. He ignored me for a minute, i became worried.I tried again praying I don't upset him."Baby..."."why didn't you wake me ,the time you done typing?"he fumed without looking up at me,moving the documents to and fro.I could tell he was really mad by that sound in his voice,I can't do all this to be over.I was careless and he is right to be mad at me for it,I just hope the damages won't be much. "Baby...when you slept off, I wanted to you rest,you've really worked tirelessly and..need to ..."Really?...oh please don't sound stupid Beauty!"he snapped,his brows arched and his nose expanded a little bit,he bit his lower lips and continued work the files."Baby I only wanted ..
**BEAUTY'S POV**I was on bed ,going through my folders getting ready for another job hunting,I won't say it was easy ignoring all of Bruno's calls,I just choose to because I knew it won't help any of us anyway,and also it bothers me that Jessi seem to be hiding something from me, she looked depressed these days and hardly come over to my olace,i have no idea what is happening to her and I wish she could open up to me.A knock came in,and my door opened slowly,it was mother."Good morning mom"i greeted feebly."Beauty..baby... how are you doing today dear?"Mother asked softly,she walked in to my room and pecked me.I sighed and smiled back at her."Am good mom, thanks for always been there for me"i repliedShe smiled back and sat down on bed."Am your mother, that is all am about,give my baby girl the best life,best advices and best support "she said with a cheering tone, shaking my shoulders.I chuckled weakly."Mom stop am feeling dizzy already!"She giggled and let me go finally."
**BRUNO'S POV**The next morning, Grandma was the first to come into my room,she drew the window curtains,I sluggishly turned to the other side as the light rays travelled directly into my eyes."How are you doing this morning my love?*Grandma asked.She walked over to my side and sat on the bed beside me. I drew my blanket up to cover my wet face.She sighed and touched my hand."Still mourning over your heartbreak?"I said nothing, I completely ignored her,my eyes were hurting from crying since yesterday and my heart won't stop aching,how can this happen,how on Earth did this happen,Beauty and father?Father ofcourse is a known flirt and womanizer but Beauty?how could she do this to me."The visitors will soon arrive you don't want them to see you,all sad and teary,man up and be strong"Grandma continued."Can I be alone for now please?find somewhere else and stay maybe go to Abigail,she is your grandchild too or find some of your old people,let me be please"I mumbled ,for the firs
