Brian stayed at home on Sunday and buried himself with work. He decided to take a break when it was a little over 5 pm. He stood up from his desk area, reached for his white tee that was on the bed and put it on. He took his phone on the nightstand, tucked it into his pocket, then exited his room where he bumped into a middle-aged staff passing by.
"Good day sir!" She s
Later that evening.Brian Matthews was about wrapping up with work on his laptop when a knock on his door came through. He slowly massaged his temple before telling the person on the other side to come in even though he had no idea who it was.
One week later.Brian Matthews didn't wait for his driver to open the door for him after he pulled up in front of the mansion. Brian helped himself out. With his right hand tucked into his pocket, he made his way into the mansion, purposely in search of his mother. It was a little over 7:30 pm so he knew his mother would be somewhere downstairs. One of the living rooms,
The duo made conversations all through the ride to the cabin. Brian helped himself out of the car to go open the door for Vanessa. He helped her out, intertwined his hand with hers and they both headed towards the entrance of the cabin. He opened the door and then ushered her in, locking the door behind him."I have something to show you." Brian did not allow Vanessa to
"You will be the end of me, babe," Brian whispered with a voice full of desire and then connected his lips to hers. The duo explored every inch of their mouth until they were almost out of breath.He moved his attention to Vanessa's earlobe, then began to trail kisses down her neck until he reached her soft spot. A loud moan escaped from Vee's mouth. Brian smiled agains
"Please, tell me to stay!" Brian pouted.Vanessa chuckled. "I wish I could but you need to go to France. I admit it's kind of sad since you will be there for five weeks but I'm hopeful that time will go by really fast. Besides, you've promised to keep in touch with me and I think I can manage with that."
With her eyes still closed, her head felt very heavy. Her bladder was full; she needed to use the toilet, yet she was too tired to stand up. She couldn't help but wonder what she did last night that warranted her to wake up with a pounding head.Vanessa's heart almost flew out of her chest when she felt someone place an arm over what she figured out could be her naked b
Laurel arrived at the mansion at almost 7:30. Darik's driver dropped her. She gave one of the maids her bag to take to her room while she went in search of Vanessa Maddox. She could only imagine how the poor girl must be feeling. Just in time, Laurel saw Vee walk out of the staff quarters. She had put on a brown knee-length dress and matching flats. Her hair was in a low ponytail, her eyes were puffy and she looked really tired. Laurel could tell Vee did nothing but cry till daybreak. Once she approached Vanessa, she pulled her into a warm hug. After a few seconds of having their moment, Laurel intertwined her hand with Vanessa's own and led her to the garden
Brian Matthews arrived in Rueil-Malmaison, France at a little over 9 am. He was taken to a hotel suite. His first meeting with the CEO of VINCI, a well-known construction company, was not until noon. He had a few hours to himself which he decided to use wisely before finally going into business mode.Brian heaved a sigh of relief the moment he stepped into his VIP suite
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
Epilogue!Three years later!For reasons known to only Brian Matthews and a
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
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.
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.
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.
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'
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
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.
