Hanna POV

“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

Rowan lashed out in the aftermath of Briana and the Bossman’s escape.

I don’t want to argue with him because this is a party, and I do not want to ruin my night. So, instead of responding, I decided to walk out and get as far away from Rowan as possible.

But before I could take a step, Rowan snagged my wrist to pull me back.

The movement caught me off-guard. I lost my balance, and my back landed on his chest.

Rowan held me by the waist to steady me. The heat of his palms caused a burning sensation on my skin.

“Rowan,” I warned when I tried to pull away, but he held me back.

I don’t know where I got my inner mettle to fight, but the way he was trying to dominate me, curtailing my freedom and such, had taken its toll on me.

What I did not count on was how close our faces were when I lifted my chin to confront him. Our nearness caught me by surprise.

It made me fully aware that Rowan is a man, and his responses were all male.

    Hanna POVMy eyes widened when I saw who stopped Britney from hurting me.“Rowan.”Without warning, my heart began to beat fast while Britney tried to loosen his hold on her.She struggled, but Rowan had a firm grip. She could not shake his hand off even when she used her weight.“Let me go, b*stard! You and your sister are the thorns to my side.

    Hanna POVMy heart beat fast as I paced the four corners of my room, thinking about how to avoid the feelings I was developing toward Briana’s brother.I can’t be feeling anything for my captor. The idea is insane.I should hate him, not fall for him.Not a moment later, I heard footsteps. They stopped outside my door.My heart started to beat faster than before. It felt so much like there were galloping wild horses in there.I placed my palm to my chest to quell the wild beating of my heart in time to the sounds of Rowan’s knocks on the door.“Hanna! Open the door!”Gone was the gentle Rowan from before as I sensed a tinge of impatience in his voice.Fear and an insane sense of self-preservation froze me on the spot.My feet stayed footed, unable to move.The silence from my end must have caused Rowan to lose the last shred of his patience, and he started pounding on the door hard.“Hanna! Are you alright?”It surprised me to note a hint of concern in his voice, adding to my growin

    Rowan POV“What is the likelihood of Noah Hunter suffering from amnesia when he divorced Briana?” I asked my brothers.I called an impromptu late-night meeting with my three brothers after I left Hanna in my apartment.Marcus, Flint, and I started discussing the possibility.We thought about what happened five years ago – how Noah Hunter changed his mind right after waking up from a coma due to the accident.“And where did you get this incredible idea?” Marcus asked.Of all our brothers, he was the most protective of Briana. It may be because they were closer in age.Marcus took her under his wing and made life easier when she transitioned as the missing Ford heiress.I shook my head. “It does not matter where I get that. Do you think it’s plausible?” I asked.Marcus had a doubtful expression.“Remember the report we got? Noah disliked Briana the first time the Hunters brought her into their home as a child.“What about the report that says they were inseparable when Noah came back t

    Rowan POVI looked at my three brothers’ grinning faces, and my body turned cold at the way they were grilling me.Finally, Charles intervened, making me heave a huge sigh of relief when he shifted the topic back to Noah’s amnesia.Charles brought us back to the purpose of this meeting.“If he has amnesia, why didn’t the media catch up on what had happened? He is a known figure. I am sure someone must have gotten wind of it.”That got all of us thinking.“He has a company to run. Maybe he thought it would be in the best interest of Hunter Enterprises.”Marcus had a point.“Why did he keep it a secret from Briana? I am sure if Briana knew about it, he wouldn’t have a hard time winning her back, and they could concentrate on doing what’s best for their family.”Flint made another point, which I think could be best answered by Noah Hunter himself.Marcus shrugged. “Beats me.”“Why not talk to him?” I suggested.“Okay. Ask Hanna to call him for a meeting.” Charles declared.It seemed to s

Don’t worry.” He assured me before pulling me for a hug.I let him.Noah does not want to let me go. I feel the same way.This night was unforgettable.After the unplanned trip to the cemetery to visit the grave of his dead parents, I felt as if a warm hand touched my heart.It had been years since I saw their graveyard, not because I didn’t want to see them, but because I felt guilty every time. I failed them.All they wanted was the best for their son, but when Noah and I divorced, I didn’t feel like the best person there was.I felt like a failure.Tonight, Noah talked to his parents about us, the triplets, and his plans for the future.If I still doubted him before we visited her parents’ grave, now I only felt gratitude.“I love Briana, Mom, Dad.

    Briana POVPer usual, Noah drowned me with his kisses.He sucked my lower lip like he could not get enough of me.I responded with equal ferocity.Noah pulled me closer to his body. He rubbed his palms up and down my back while he continued to assault my lips with his kisses.I heard a moan and very nearly died in shame when I heard the sound of someone clearing his throat.Noah pulled back his face, but his arms hung loosely on my waist.“The room was just at your back. Why don’t you take it there?” Charles suggested, looking embarrassed.My face grew warm as I glared at my brother.“Woah! Did we miss something?” Flint asked flippantly.He screeched to a stop, staring at Charles, and then at me.“You don’t want to know,” Charles replied before walking along the hallway toward the room he shared with his wife, Jenna.Marcus had this knowing look on his face that added to my growing embarrassment.Then, Rowan passed by.He snagged my attention when he did not continue to his room but

It was practical, but it was sudden.There are things we need to settle yet.The indecision made me falter.I looked at the expectant faces of Noah and the triplets and felt like I wanted the floor to swallow me.“It’s what I wanted, too.” I started.Noah’s smile widened, and the children raised their hands in glee, along with their shouts of hurray.I don’t want to ruin their happiness, but I can’t lead them on. As early as now, I needed to set things straight to avoid misunderstandings in the future.“But not now,” I added, watching as the good spirits of the four people around me slowly sank.The rejoicing went down, and four pairs of eyes shot me a look of disappointment.I felt uneasy that I had to explain.“We still have so many things to settle, Noah. We can’t just move in together without fixing those things.”I wanted to blame him. His question caught me off-guard. We just agreed to take

    Noah POVBriana avoided my gaze when I said that. Maybe because she still has yet to believe me. Though it dampened my spirit a little, it made me resolve to prove to her that I was here for the long haul. The drive to the restaurant where Briana was supposed to meet Luke was silent. But that is alright. At least I got my way. At first, Briana rebuffed my effort to drive her to their meeting place. "I have my own car. I can manage." She told me when I opened the passenger door to my car for her."I told you I wanted to be there." There was no brooking my tone. “Are we really going to fight about this?” She asked crossly, but I maintained my cool.“Not if you will let me have my way.” Then, I winked at her.For a moment, Briana looked like she would like to argue with me, but then I saw a ghost of a smile on her face, which she quickly masked by faking a cough.“Okay. Have it your way.”Briana sighed exasperatedly before getting in.I whistled after shutting the door. Briana's co

    Anna/Linda POVWe spent three days secluded in the exclusive villa Flint rented for us. It was nothing short of idyllic. Penelope had a wonderful time. “Dad-dy!” She squealed and jumped on her little feet to evade the coming waves. “Bubbles!” She would cry in gibberish, pointing at the sea foam that crowded her feet and ankles. Then she would run to Flint, and Flint would swoop down to capture her and put her to dry sand. Then, she would stroll toward the waves again, repeating the same actions until Flint rescues her.“You are silent,” Flint said when he deposited Penelope beside me. I was sitting on the sand with my legs stretched out in front of me. He quickly worked on the sand, digging with his hands and throwing them to cover my legs.

He would point out the other cars outside the window, and Penelope would watch them race past us. Sometimes, he would make faces at her, and she would try to mimic them.They also played peek-a-boo. From time to time, Flint would cover his face with his palm, and Penelope would pull up or down the hand that blocked his face from her sight. And when she exposed his face, Flint would cry.“Peek-a-boo!” “Boo!” Penelope would shout before she broke into giggles. From time to time, the father-daughter tandem would include me in their play.
