I smiled when I noticed the lisp in Brixx’s pronunciation of r. He’s excited and no longer frightened of me.
This realization made me heave a sigh of relief.
I never wanted to scare my children. That was the last thing I wanted to do.

Briana POVMy eyes watered.Somehow, Noah’s revelation did not surprise me.Uncle Matt had always been cruel to me when I was a child. He was the main oppositionist when Dan and Marsha took me to their home and openly showed his dislike for me at every opportunity.“That b*stard! I am going to kill him!” I hissed.My lungs felt stuffy, and my nose was clogged because I was openly crying now, lamenting Dan and Marsha’s death.“Why?” I asked as tears streamed down my face.Noah replied with a wry smile.“Money, of course. He wanted Hunter

Briana POVI felt self-conscious when people we passed by greeted Noah and then,stared teasingly at our clasped hands before walking away.The knowing expressions on their faces make me shy.“People are going to talk.” I hissed at Noah when I tugged at the hand he was holding, but he wouldn’t budge.“Let them.” He told me.“You are becoming very brazen, Mr. Hunter. What if your fiancée gets wind of this, and she would create another ruckus to attack me again on the internet?" I asked waspishly as irritation over what Britney had done filled me. I cannot shake the fact that if it were not for her, my life would not be complicated right now. My brother wouldn't force me to date Luke Bennett and explore the idea of a marriage-merger."She won't," Noah replied dismissively - like my concerns did not matter to him.That stung."Are you going to sit still and watch me fight her?” Bitterness laced my voice.Noah had never done anything to counter Britney’s attack on my behalf.

Briana POVNoah did not seem to understand me at first.“Heidi. She was your ex-girlfriend. You used to date her before I came into the picture.” I said, attempting to jog his memory.The frown disappeared on Noah’s face, and he shrugged as if the issue did not bother him.“Why not? She is capable. Besides, it happened a long time ago. I am sure Heidi has forgotten about it just as I have.”Noah obviously did not know what I was getting at. So, who is the dense one now?I nodded mockingly.“Yeah. And I assure you she hadn’t. She is a disaste

Britney POV“The number you have dialed is out of coverage area. Please try again later.” I have been hearing this same voice prompt for the nth time since last week, and the sound of it makes me crazy. I tried calling the number again, but the same voice prompt said that the phone number I was calling was unavailable. “Gosh!” I looked heavenward as desperation filled me. “Britney, you got to stop pacing. You need to rest. You haven’t slept a wink since last night.” My manager and friend told me. “And how can I sleep if Noah dropped me like a hot potato? He severed all ties with me.” I cried out in frustration and anger. My manager flinched at the show of abrasive behavior. It was the first time she had seen me like this. I was always the composed one. “Tough luck. Noah broke up with you, but it’s not the end of the world.”My hands and jaw clenched as I recalled his threat, the temporary restraining order, and worst of all – publicly declaring that he was done with me. “It is

Britney POV“What do you want?” Hanna’s hostile tone pricked me. “Long time no see, sister dear. Can’t we at least be civil to each other? You can’t hate me forever because Mom loves me more than she does you.” Hanna rolled her eyes.“So, you think I am still prickly about that? Grow up, Britney!”I let it slide when she glared at me and got right down to business.“I don’t know where to find Matt Bryant, Noah’s uncle. Do you have any clue as to his whereabouts?”Hanna’s eyes sharpened.“I told you. I won’t cooperate with you anymore. The last time I did that, I gave Briana so much heartbreak. I can’t do that again anymore. I can’t snitch on my best friend just because we are sisters!”I laughed, but it sounded hollow.“You said it. We are sisters. Isn’t blood thicker than water? Why do you always have to take her side? Can’t you see what she was doing to me?"Hanna looked unconcerned, prodding me to explode on her.She was ruining my life!” I cried out in frustration.Why can’t Ha
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 95. Briana's Brother
Hanna POVI was about to leave the cafe when someone snatched my arm.The move was too sudden.It startled me, but when I recognized the culprit, my eyes widened in alarm, and I swallowed the scream that almost escaped my lips.Fear gripped me as I stared into his brown eyes - the same shade as Briana’s.“Rowan.” I stammered.My mouth nervously uttered his name. He was Briana's brother.Immediately, my head nervously took the direction of the café.“Glad to know you recognized me,” Rowan said with clenched jaws as he followed the direction my eyes had taken.I started to sweat profusely. My hands felt clammy, too.“We met once,” I explained in a stilted manner.I was itching to flee, but Rowan's hold on my hand prevented me.I stared at his hand, clutching my arm. My gaze traveled to his angry face, and I swallowed hard. A lump formed in my throat.“I was unaware you know Britney White enough to meet her outside your workplace. Does Briana know?” Rowan sneered.Suspicion laced his v

Hanna POVThe elevator area was empty. When I turned round a corner, I pressed my body on the wall to peek outside where I last saw Rowan Ford, but I made sure to conceal my presence by hiding into the wall. All this time, the pounding in my heart never stopped. Guilt eats at me. The suspicion I saw in Rowan's eyes was unnerving. I heaved a sigh of relief when the space I saw him last was empty. He's gone. My breathing started to regulate, and my chest rose repeatedly in quick succession as I filled my lungs with air. The elevator pinged, and its doors opened to let out passengers.When the car was empty, I got in. Every time the elevator stops and opens, my heart starts to beat harder. I have this insane idea that Rowan Ford would not let his discovery slide, and he would follow me to squeeze out every information he could get. He was Briana's sister. His suspecting me might lead to Briana suspecting me as well. I don't want Briana to find out what I have done. It would c

Rowan POV“Get out!” I ordered when Hanna remained seated in the passenger seat.I did not wait for her and moved out of the driver’s seat to open the door for her.Hanna moved slowly.When she got out of the car, the light shone on her face. It was then that I noticed her unnatural pallor.She wobbled when she took a step and almost kissed the floor when she lost her balance.I caught her up in time. My hand gripped the top of her arms.“Are you alright?” I asked with a frown.She did not respond, but she remained where she was.“I don’t feel well.” She managed to say.Doubt filled my heart. I thought it was a ploy to distract me to escape. I did not count on Hanna's head lolling to the side before her head dropped to my chest.And that was when it dawned on me.I pressed the back of my hand to her forehead to find her burning with fever.The knowledge alarmed me.Without much thought, I hefted Hanna and carried her bridal style inside the house.

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. 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

She kept stepping on them while she walked around our rented villa.“Maybe she loved the downy feel of the rose petals on her soles.” Anna offered a likely explanation for our daughter’s seeming propensity for the flowers.She even pulled her shoes off before she jumped, skipped, and kicked on the petals covering the floor.I dropped my head playfully in response, but inside, I was dying for Penelope to lay her head on the bed so t

I am a Ford.I have everything, but when it comes to Anna, I felt lacking as a man. Of course, it was different with our daughter.Would it be selfish of me if I wanted to be the only man for her, not just the father of her daughter? I wanted to be the best man for them both. “One day, I will make you fall in love with me,” I told her and saw her taken aback. I wanted to add that I will erase every feeling she has for my brother.I will be the only man she would need. The wedding ended. “Congratulations.” The priest held out his hand to send us his best wishes. He even patted Penelope’s head, making her giggle. “You have a lovely daughter.” He told us.Anna and I exchanged a look. She smiled, feeling proud of our daughter. I was, too. We did not linger.

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.
