Briana POV

I pretended to be busy for Noah’s sake.

But when he closed the door behind him, I stopped the pretense and put down the pen and paper I was holding to lean back on my chair. Tiredness seemed to seep from every pore of my skin.

I closed my eyes and sighed.

There was a knock on the door. I knew it was Martina.

“Come in.”

The door opened and Martina came in.

She frowned when she saw me.

“What’s wrong? You looked troubled … and weary.” She sounded hesitant like she did not want to verbalize what was in her thoughts.

“Has Noah left?” I asked, ignoring her comment.

“Yes.” She replied, and I nodded slowly.

I took a deep breath. I don’t know what I was feeling. I felt like Noah abandoned me. We had a misunderstanding, but he did not even stay to fix it.

    Noah POVI heard Briana’s surprised gasp and deepened the kiss.It was a gentle kiss aimed to soothe the pain I inflicted on her due to my insensitivity. Still, the minute my lips closed in on hers, passion burst inside me. I cannot seem to stop feeding on Briana's lips. They taste so much like honey, forgiveness, love, and lust. “I love you,” I told her when I pulled away because my phone had been ringing nonstop. “It was Langley,” I told her apologetically when I pulled the phone out of my pocket to check. Briana’s lids closed. But before that, I saw the yearning and the longing that matched my own. “Later, wife,” I promised and swiped the phone’s screen to receive Langley’s call. “What?” My voice came out harsh as it came between panting. I looked at Briana. She was panting, too. While my ears were glued to the phone, my eyes refused to abandon her face. I kept looking at her flushed face, wanting to continue where we left off. But Langley’s waiting. I took deep breaths t

Unfortunately, we cannot file a criminal defamation case against her.“So, it was a useless case?” I asked, thoroughly disappointed.“If you want to put her behind bars, the law can’t help you.” My lawyer said, shaking his head.I clucked my tongue, feeling lost and drained.I thought I already had enough ammunition to make Britney accountable for her actions, but it seemed as if the prevailing law in Redwood restricted my hand.“Is there any other way?” I asked my lawyer, feeling discouraged that my plans won’t push through.I realized that my recent actions against Britney only showed Briana that I was protecting her when it was not my intention. Now, I intend to rectify that misconception and make Briana feel less thr

It’s different from our supply at the hotel.” I explained and dumped all my haul at the counter.I paid for our purchases, and we hurriedly left.“Are you ready?” Martina asked.We finished attacking the food we bought at the convenience store to stall the planned test. But now that we are full, there is nothing left to do but to face what we set out to do.“Are you?” I countered back.And we both chuckled at our silliness.“I’ll go ahead,” I told her, walking briskly to the bathroom.
