As early as 5:52 am, Brian's phone rang. It was a business-related call so he stepped out of his room to receive the call in the outdoor area. He didn't want to disturb Vanessa who was still sleeping soundly.
The call lasted a couple of minutes and Brian went back to the room. His lips curved into a smile when he saw that Vanessa was awake. She was indeed an early riser
"You wouldn't have insisted that Brian excused us if something wasn't wrong. Please tell me what it is?" She pleaded.Laurel moved closer to Vanessa where she sat and intertwined her hand with hers. "I don't know how to say this, Vanessa. It's meant to be good news but due to circumstances, I don't think it's right to term it as good news."
Laurel was tired by the time She got home from work. Unlike other days when she would have stopped by her mother's room to greet her, She went straight to her suite. She took off her heels and was about to undress when a knock came through on her door.She sighed, then went to answer it. She came face to face with a furious looking Brian. Laurel shivered at his presence
After Laurel had instructed a maid to take dinner to her room, She proceeded to Brian's suite. She met him seated, pouring himself a glass of red wine. Laurel took a seat beside him."How is she?" He asked as he turned his attention to her.
A few days later!Brain Matthews got down from his car and proceeded into the mansion with the determination to put an end to the crazy stuff happening in his life. It's been four days since he has heard from Vanessa and also since his younger, sister, Laurel had anything to do with him. He had hoped that by Tuesday, everything would be fine between himself and Vanessa
Brian plopped down on the couch beside him. Suddenly, he felt hot. He felt as if someone was choking him so he loosened his tie. Not feeling comfortable where he was seated, he rose to his feet and started pacing up and down, running his fingers harshly through his hair. "It has to be a lie. There's no way Vanessa is pregnant. I've always been careful during intercourse. I'm so damn sure the baby isn't mine." He tried to convince himself. Unconsciously, the memory of his last conversation with Laurel came rushing back. 'The baby conversation'
After exiting the living room where his siblings were, Brian Matthews stormed out of the mansion. He heard a familiar voice call his name but he didn't bother to look back. Brian got into his car, then drove out of the mansion. As he drove towards his Cabin house for some alone time, he couldn't stop thinking about his earlier conversation with Vanessa and also the conversations with his siblings. The more he remembered every detail of what they talked about, the more his head began to ache.
Knowing who was at the door, Brian Matthews rose to his feet and went to answer. He came face to face with his best friends, Ethan and Lorenzo. It was evident from their outfit that they came straight from work."You look awful, man!" Lorenzo exclaimed with his strong American accent. His father was American and his mother was from Spain but grew up in the states.
One week later."Why are you looking at me like that?" Eve Matthews asked her husband, Logan. They were both having breakfast on the balcony. They were almost done with their meal.
Stepping into the room, her eyes began to water as she stopped in her tracks. The main living room was beautifully decorated with round and heart-shaped balloons in different shades of pink and white. There were matching rose petals and scented candles on the floor, framed pictures of Vee and Brian in their cosy moments were put in different places in the living room.V

In thirty minutes, Brian got home. He sat back in the car, thinking of what to do. A part of him was telling him to go to Vanessa and beg for forgiveness but he was too embarrassed for that. He knew he had hurt her a lot and he had no idea if she was ever going to forgive him.Brian was lost in his thoughts until a knock on his car window brought him back to reality. He
