Hanna POV

My 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. I will take care of her and our three

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

    Noah POVBriana looked stricken when I pulled her to my side so I could protectively wrap an arm around her. “Are you alright?” I asked in concern.I tilted her face up, seeing her eyes growing wide as she took in Luke Bennett’s bloodied face.He lay limply on the floor while the waiter and other customers attended to him.“Briana?” I asked, panicking when she did not respond.I shook her body. It was then that she got back to her senses.“I am fine.” She said with a slight tremor in her voice.I don't know what Luke said earlier, but whatever it is, it undeniably left her shaken.Without waiting for Luke Bennett to recover, I gently guided Briana out of the restaurant and back to our car.“It’s alright. He is not going to hurt you anymore.” I said, referring to Bennett.I drove away quickly and stopped at the nearest convenience store.

    BrianaI lifted a hand to pound on his chest when he teased me like that, but Noah caught my hand and very suavely pulled it to his lips to kiss the knuckles warmly.He stared into my eyes, and it brought butterflies to my stomach when he said that.“I am not a man without you.” That brought tears to my eyes.I often thought that part of the reason why he so desperately wanted me back was because of the children. Still, as he gazed into my eyes, I could feel his love overflowing.My old Noah is back. I could feel it through the way he stared at me.So when he brought me to his chest to wrap his arms around me, I returned his embrace.We sat like that for a long time before Noah let me go. Then, his arm reached for the backseat. It looked like he was searching for something, and when his hand reappeared, he was now holding a single-stem rose.“Where did you get that?”My eyes sparkled in delight as I took the rose from him.“I saw an old lady selling in the parking lot.

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. It attracted Penelope, and she mimicked her father. She took clumps of sand in her hands and threw them to my legs. “You need a spade, my little Queen,” Flint said.He looked around our surroundings before his eyes focused on something no

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.
