Noah POVBriana was still sleeping when our family came to visit.Marcus called earlier, informing me about the boys’ excitement to see their little brother. “Where’s our baby brother?” Riley demanded, but he was talking in a hushed voice. I glanced at Marcus, grateful because I was sure he informed the kids beforehand that they needed to behave, which explains Riley’s action. I opened the door wider and smiled wider. “He’s asleep with your mom.” The boys’ faces fell. The excitement in their eyes changed to disappointment. “We can’t play with him, then?” Brixx asked in dismay. I crouched low, so I was at a level with my kids. “Not yet. When he gets a little older, you can.” I promised them. “But we can see him, right?” Mason butted in. I nodded. “Of course. I am sure your mom would love to see the three of you.” Then, I stood up and picked Mason’s and Brixx’s hands since they were closer to me to guide them inside. Marcus let Riley follow us. I was glad because the chi
Noah POVI was surprised when Rowan kicked Marcus playfully so he could enter, bearing colorful balloons. At the sight of the balloons, the triplets became excited and had forgotten that they had to act carefully around the baby. Riley stood on the bed, startling their baby brother, and I had to grab him by the waist to put him down. I also did the same to Brixx and Mason when they unexpectedly jumped to eagerly reach their hands out to pluck a balloon from Rowan’s grasp. Rowan steered clear of them to place the balloon on the side of my bed. “I want one,” Riley grumbled. Rowan shook his head to tease the triplets. “You can’t have that. It is for mommy.” “She does not need the balloon. She needs to rest.” Brixx replied, and all of us laughed. “It’s also for the baby,” Rowan added, refusing to give the triplets the balloon. They harumped and ignored him when they noticed the cake that Flint was carrying. “A cake!” They cried.“I hope it’s a carrot cake,” Briana commented
Hello, my loves, You have reached the last part of Noah and Briana’s story. Though I hate to see them go and the triplets, too, I also wanted to give way to the other characters in this story to shine.Hence, the succeeding chapters will be for them. This book actually has four parts. The main part as you all know is Noah and Briana’s story. The second part will be Rowan and Hanna’s story. The third part will be Marcus’s story. The fourth part, I have not plotted it yet, but it is a toss between Brent (yeah, the millionaire private investigator friend of Noah) and Flint (Briana’s other brother.) You can comment on this page which one you prefer and the majority wins.If you noticed in Briana and Noah’s book, I already gave a foreground on Brent’s life. But it’s not fixed yet.Flint, on the other hand, is an interesting character because he is playful and oftentimes troublesome. Riley actually took after him. As with the first story, the other three stories will revolve around
Book 2. Rowan and Hanna’s Story Hanna’s POV“Bye, Hanna!” I waved my hands to my co-workers at Hunter Hotel after getting out of the cab we hired for the night. I was a bit tipsy, and I had to squint from the lamp post’s glare to be able to see them off. We were four girls.“Bye, guys! See you tomorrow.” I shouted before turning around to get inside my apartment complex. My co-workers and I had a little celebration because one of them was getting married. We opted to ride a cab since we were drunk just to be on the safe side.“Having a good time?” A man’s voice said at my back, and my body instantly froze. I didn’t think I would ever see him again, given that I already requested the main office to transfer me to this place. Noah was a bit surprised, but he did not pry. I was not sure if he suspected it had anything to do with this man. The man walked to my front, presenting me with his side profile. “What are you doing here?” I asked nervously. He snickered. “Why are you sud
Hanna POVRowan parked the car in front of a f*ckig mansion. I glared at it, for I did not know how to react. It’s a toss-between amazement and anger. The house was impressive. It looked breathtaking outside, but however beautiful the place was, it was still a prison for me. I already had a hunch as to why Rowan took me. “Whose house is this?” I asked mutinously.“Mine.” Rowan unstrapped his seatbelt, but I did not mimic his actions. Instead, I just sat there looking outside. “Get out!” Rowan ordered.I pretended not to hear him and did not budge. I heard the sound of the door opening before it was slammed shut in anger. From my peripheral vision, I saw Rowan round the car before stopping in front of my door. He opened it before leaning down. I moved back scaredly. I thought Rowan was going to kiss me again to make me pliant and submissive to his bidding.To my utter shame, and Rowan’s amusement - because I heard him snicker, he only unlocked my seatbelt to pull me out. D
Hanna POVI angrily clenched my fists and growled at the closed door, imagining it was Rowan I was glaring at.If looks could kill, the fire in my eyes must have left him charred should he have the gall to stay.This whole setup frustrates me.I already put several hundred miles between us, thinking it was far enough to live my life undisrupted.Now, I realize distance was never a deterrent for Rowan.While starting mutinously at the closed door, I bunched the pillows on the bed and hit it several times with my fists. It did nothing to get me out of my situation,
Hanna POVHeat suffused my cheeks. How many times will Rowan embarrass me like this?But there’s nothing I can do about it now. Rowan will do anything to subdue me because he thinks the only way to get to Britney is through me. I sighed. At that exact moment, my phone rang. I winced when I saw the caller ID.Without bothering to answer the call, I turned off my phone and got dressed. I self-consciously walked out of the room Rowan sent me last night, tugging at the hem of my skirt. “Does the skirt make you uncomfortable?” Rowan’s voice startled me. I almost jumped in nervousness. “Relax. It’s just me.” My breath hitched when his eyes started to roam around my body. “I am sorry, that’s the only clothes I have. Don’t worry. I will fetch you from work later to shop for your clothes.” At the mention of work, my body froze. “Can you not do that?” His brows arched. Rowan looked like I said something offending. “And why is that?” Rowan’s eyes narrowed, and I gulped for lack
Hanna POVRowan's wishes won. He dropped me at the entrance to Hunter Hotel.To his credit, he at least relented.He did not insist on getting out to flash his newsworthy face, which I was grateful for."I will fetch you around five."I ignored his reminder because it was useless. Whether I agree or not, Rowan would still get his way.The driver opened the door for me, and I got out, self-consciously too aware of the curious looks thrown my way.I am just a new employee of Hunter Hotel Vega
