Chapter 106. Right Thing

I decided it was time to lay down my cards and let Noah know about any misgivings I had in this setup.
He wanted to prove himself not as a father to his children but as a partner to me. He wanted us to try again.
But that would be asking me for a lot. If I agreed to his request, that would mean shedding my armor and making myself vulnerable.
It took me five years to slowly build up my armor, and now Noah is asking me to throw it away.
“Your proposal was admirable. But we were only wasting our time if I can't trust you. Let's cut ourselves some slack. Let's stop this now and find something workable for us and the children. I am sure when they grow older, they will understand."

He was ready to drop everything for the children.He was also ready to make our relationship work for them.“He said he loves me.” I sent my best friend Hanna a text.I noticed she had been silent lately and realized I had been too preoccupied with so many things that I had forgotten about her.So, when I got the chance, I tried calling her. I assumed she was busy since she was not answering my call.After waiting for her response, I suddenly remembered it was her birthday today.“Noah, I reserved a room for the children for their nap. You can sleep with them."Noah met my statement with a frown."What about you?""Ca

Hanna POVI was out in a meeting when my secretary called me.As head of the marketing department, I sometimes go outside to meet potential clients or people from the print and broadcast industry for adverts.My secretary called to tell me someone was waiting for me at the office.Since the meeting was just inside the hotel - in one of our restaurants, I marched back to my room right after concluding the meeting.I was all smiles.The client wanted to book the hotel for their company conference. It was a huge company comprising two hundred employees.I started planning in my head and got so busy, so it came as a surprise to me when I got to my office and found my best friend waiting for me.“Briana!”She is holding a cake with a small lighted candle in the middle, singing a happy birthday song.Other employees joined in the singing.My eyes misted.My mother had forgotten it was my birthday - even my sister. Dad is dead, so there was not much to expect.But the two living relatives fo

Hanna POVAfter a while, Briana got a phone call and looked apologetically at me before taking the call.“It’s Noah. He said the kids were awake and were looking for me.” She shared after she ended the call.I rose from the chair.Seeing what I did, Briana rose from her seat, too.“Oh, I forgot to give you this.” She rummaged through her bag to pull out a jewelry box. My eyes widened in alarm.“Briana, you don’t have to,” I told her when she handed me the box.She grinned. “It was a present from Woodside. I have been meaning to give that to you. I always forget. I figured now’s as good a time as any.”I opened the box and smiled. It was a gold bracelet with a rose design in the middle. “It’s beautiful!” I exclaimed.Briana smiled. “I am glad you like it. I chose the rose design because the yellow rose symbolizes friendship and loyalty.” I bit my lip. “Briana, I…”I hesitated. Should I tell her about my relationship with Britney?Briana misinterpreted my reaction.“It’s alright.

Briana POV“What are you talking about?” Hanna sputtered like the idea was cringy.Her body shook, telling me that she found the idea repulsive.Yet I could feel something in her response. It was exaggerated; meaning, she was trying to shake the idea off my head.She also looked flustered, which tells me she’s not telling the entire truth.“Nothing," I replied and saw her visibly relaxed.But the idea of having Hanna as a sister-in-law appealed to me. So I persisted. Who knows..."You can tell me if you like my brother. I can set you up on a date with Rowan, or if you like Flint…” My voice trailed off when she rejected my offer vehemently.Hanna shook her head, a mocking smile lacing her lips.“No. I’m fine.”“Okay. But if you change your mind, you know you can always come up to me.” I told her.Hanna glared at me, telling me to stop, and I only laughed her reaction off.“Positive. Dating is far from my mind at the moment. I just got promoted. I need to show the company and my boss t

Briana POV“Where have you been? I was frantic with worry.” Noah greeted me after finally showing up at home.It was past the children’s bedtime.Noah leaned close and sniffed my hair.“You smelled cigarettes and alcohol. Where did you go?” Suspicion laced his voice.“I was just at the hotel.”Noah frowned. “Yet you did not bother to call me back or tell me? I had been calling you countless times, Briana.”I walked past him. I am not in the mood to face his scrutiny and interrogation. All I want is to lie in bed and rest.I feel so tired.Noah clamped on my arm and tugged. “Hey. What’s wrong? Do you have a problem? I thought we would try to make our relationship work. Why are you suddenly growing cold on me?”The gentleness in his tone was a mockery to me.When I remembered what Britney told me, my heart was being squeezed painfully in my chest.I squeezed my eyes shut.“I am sorry. I don’t think I can do this.” I told him frankly when our eyes met.“Why? Tell me your reasons so I

The children were enrolled in the best school in Redwood and will start school in a week.“Daddy! Let’s paint!” Mason called me when he spotted me standing by the doorway.He was sitting on a small artist's chair. The mini easel on his front hangs a small canvas.I watched while he wielded colors on the canvas and could say we have a fine artist in the making.He wields his brush like an expert, creating a dramatic fusion of colors.As a connoisseur, I could tell my son had talent.“Wow, son! This is great!”“Mason studied art back in Woodside. He had a solo exhibition last year. This year, the Ford Empire will sponsor another exhibition for him.” It was Marcus.I did n

Jenna POVAfter Charles left the hospital, I urged Beth to trace our way back inside.We passed the lobby, and I felt weirded out by the looks everyone was giving me. It caused a frown to form on my head. Beth must have noticed my reaction. “Don’t mind them. They just heard about what Gwen did. They all feel sorry for you.” She explained, brushing off the stares I was getting. She even covered her mouth with her hand to stifle a sarcastic laugh. I was surprised not only by the information she shared but also by her reaction. “How?” “Police came here to arrest her. It kind of got messy because Gwen resisted the arrest even when they showed her the warrant. She even tried to run away as if she could escape them. What a d*mmy!” Beth scoffed. It used to confuse me when Beth acted unfriendly toward Gwen. Beth is warm-hearted and is often on good terms with our co-workers, except with Gwen. Now, I know. At first, I did not understand her. Beth admitted that she did not understan

Charles POVAt Jenna’s insistence, I reluctantly left the hospital to go to the office. When I arrived at my office, I was dragging my feet. Whereas before, work had been the boon of my existence.I realized recently that all work and no play made me a very dull person. That’s why it puzzled me why Jenna loved me regardless. “You don’t look too happy reporting for work,” Rowan commented after dragging my feet to my office and finding him, Marcus, and Flint sitting around my conference table. “What are you doing here?” I asked, frowning. “Don’t you have better things to do than loitering around my office?” I asked them when they did not answer my question. My three brothers shrugged their shoulders and simultaneously picked up their coffee mugs to take a sip. My eyes squinted. My brother looked too relaxed for my peace of mind. My eyes narrowed into slits as I pierced them with a glare. Flint immediately rose from his seat to pour my coffee mug and offered it to me. I accepte
