“ You know you have to go take care of your brother’s company back home right?” Padma said walking into Brie’s ward. It had been a month since the incidence and she hadn’t woken up from her coma. Her dad had come to see her at the hospital but couldn’t stay long enough. Her Step mother and step sister came to pay fake sympathy but you could read through their gimmicks. Her cousin had passed through and left. The only people around her were Padma, Aryan , Syd and surprisingly Aaron. Yes, Aaron!Syd had informed her brother about what had happened including every single detail but she hadn’t heard from him since then. Her mom was coming to check on her daughter-in-law today.“ The office won’t be sane without her, I won’t have a clear mindset to work knowing she’s here in the hospital fighting for her life,” Syd explained.“ I know but what about————-“ Don’t say his name Padma. It’s been a month I called to tell him about her condition and he’s still not replied or said anything on th

Brie suddenly opened her eyes taking in her surroundings. Her head was spinning for a couple of seconds before everything came to a standstill.“ Syd, where am I?” she asked drawing their attention to her. Syd, Padma, her mother-in-law, Aaron and Aryan were all in the ward when she woke up.“ In the hospital,” she smiled at her friend.“ But how? How did the meeting go?” she further asked.“ You remember that?” Padma asked.“ Yes Padma, we both came down to LA for a meeting. I had two. One for me and one for Syd’s company, after ours, I headed over to meet the clients and that’s all I remember,” she said as the doctor walked in.“ It’s glad to have you awake finally,” he said checking her vitals.“ You’ve been in a coma for a month and a few weeks,” the doctor explained as Kendrick walked in to the surprise of everyone except Briella.“ She’s awake?” Kendrick asked no one in particular.“ She just woke up,” the doctor replied.“ Um, I’m sorry but who is he?” Brie asked as the room fel

“ Don’t worry , I’ll take them both home. I just had a call that our house and that of Padma’s have been renovated,” Kendrick said to his mom and Syd, but Syd still insisted she was going with Brie home. “ Fine, if you insist” Kendrick gave up. Aaron had already left for Los Angeles a couple of days back. Brie had received phone calls from her dad asking how she was doing as well as some of her workers.“ Did you have to be so pushy Syd?” Brie asked as soon as Kendrick stepped out of the ward to settle her bills.“ Brie, I know you’ve lost a chunk of memories about him, but he’s my brother and he’s done a couple of things in the past that’s made me loose trust in him,” she said. “ I just want to come stay with you for a while before going back, if that’s okay with you..” she asked.“ That’s fine Syd, thanks for having my back.” The doctors had discharged Brie from the hospital and said it was okay for her to be on a flight. Their mom was going to take a transit flight back to San D

It had been a couple of weeks since Brie had returned from the hospital and had resumed work on the condition that she had bodyguards around her. She and Kendrick had started to get along and it was nice. They both stayed up after dinner talking about how their day had been and other random stuff. Brie stood in front of the mirror splashing water on her face. She couldn’t dispute the fact that she was attracted to her husband and wanted a piece of him that night. They had kissed a couple of times during their talks but Kendrick didn’t push further with the excuse that he didn’t want to be the one to rush things. She took off the robe she was wearing over her sexy yet comfortable nightwear and headed into the bedroom. Her husband hadn’t come up to the room yet. He was downstairs watching a football game with his friends. He had texted that his friends had just left and he would be with her shortly before she went to bed. Kendrick decided to freshen up in the guest bathroom before he

“ Millie?” Brie spotted her best friend’s wife at the beach staring into the atmosphere in her thoughts. “Millie?” She called again drawing her attention. “ Hi Brie,” she replied patting the space closer to her for her to sit. “ I didn't know you were in town? Aryan didn’t mention that to me either. By the way where’s he?” Brie asked questions. Millie’s husband didn’t know she was in town. She had been trying to reach Aryan for a while now but to no avail, so she decided to come down to LA to see what was going on. “ He doesn’t know I am here, and I don’t know where he is either. I was told he hadn’t been home in weeks, and he doesn’t answer my calls either,” she explained. “ Now that’s strange.” “ Come to think of it, it's been long since I saw him too. The last time I saw him was at the hospital after I woke up from my coma. That's it. He hasn't called or attempted to come home to visit.” she said. “ I hope he's fine. I really hope nothing happens to my husband,” Millie sobbe

“ Aryan, what is it?” Millie answered the phone yawning. She had been in Las Vegas for weeks and was beginning to love the city. She had tried reaching her husband for a while now but to no avail. She decided to relax and take care of herself at this moment.“ Millie, thank goodness! I’ve been trying to go to reach you, what are you doing in town?!” he bombarded her with questions.“ I came to look for you babe, you hardly take my calls these days neither do you return them when I call,” she replied.“ I’m fine, just busy with some work. You can go back home and I will come to see you,” he tried to convince her.“ Are you kidding me Aryan?! I haven’t heard from you for months, so I had to come to search for you here and I haven’t seen you yet. It took you weeks to call me back and all you have to say is I should go back home. News flash Aryan, I’ve fallen in love with Las Vegas and I am not going nowhere!” she angrily dropped the call on him.“ What impudence! How could he?!” What was

Padma lay on the bed recalling the previous night. Finn had his back turned to her as he buckled his belt. His bare torso was turning her on but she had to control herself.“ Morning beautiful,” he greeted with his husky voice making her insides melt.“ Morning,” she replied walking to the shower naked. What more was there to cover up? He had already seen her naked body and she wasn't shy to flaunt it.“ What can I get you for breakfast?” she asked from the bathroom.“ Toast, baked beans, scrambled eggs, and some black coffee,” he replied wearing his shirt as she walked out in her bathrobe.“ Coming right up,” she pecked him on the side of his lip and went downstairs to get breakfast ready for him.A few minutes later, Finn came down the stairs to a dining room filled with wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen. The aroma made him more hungry than he already was.Padma came out of the kitchen with a tray filled with his breakfast and placed it right in front of him.“ This smells gre

" No dad, you listen! You promised to give me my inheritance. Why the delay?" She asked pacing up and down the room." There was a condition attached to that promise," Scott smirked knowing full well that she will not be able to remember what the deal was." I don't remember having a deal with you before you gave me what rightfully belongs to me. Just, Give.Me.My.Money," she grit her teeth ending the call instantly and throwing her phone on the bed." Bad time?" Syd asked popping her head through the door." Come in," Brie sighed." What happened?" she asked taking a seat beside her friend on the bed." My inheritance Syd. Dad says we had an agreement and I don't remember what stupid agreement we had," she added frustrated." The agreement was to marry Kendrick in Sage's place and your inheritance will be given to you," Syd said." Wait! What? Sage was supposed to marry Drick and not me?" she asked." She didn't want him anymore, and both families didn't want to cancel, or else it wil

EPILOGUE" Hey-um , my son is three months old and guess who he looks like? You guessed right...me" he said holding her hand and speaking to her. Malayah had gained conciousness and was discharged two weeks after Brielle and her son were discharged. However, due to the impact Syd had gone into a coma. Everyone was devasted by the news but the one who was affected most was Kendrick. He and his sister's relationship had started growing into a beautiful one after the rough patch they went through when he had issues with Brielle.Brielle. He had caught her a couple of times silently crying. She had missed one of her bestfriends but that was not good for her considering the fact that she just gave birth and post-partum depression was knocking at her door. Padma was with Brielle most of the time , that was when she wasn't visiting her friend, Syd.Alex... he was numb and had become a shadow of himself. He barely ate or drank anything." She'll be a great aunt to him you know," Alex said ta

"... and to my dearest wife I----" Wow, you thought you could read the will without the lawyer and the rest of the family?" Malayah asked as she walked in with the lawyer, Brielle and her husband." Anika stood opening and closing her mouth like a fish under water." I-um-er..." she stuttered." You thought I was dead?" the lawyer chuckled taking his seat as Cerys glared at her aunt." And I thought this was family only? What's Cerys doing here?! She wasn't related to my dad in any way." Brielle added siting down with the help of Kendrick. They had security men in vantage points in case something went wrong." She's my family," Anika added." Oh...wow! Bravo. It all makes sense how you both suddenly became close and how my dearest cousin wanted to kill me." she added to the shock of everyone." Yes Cerys, you pretended to be a good cousin to me to gain my trust. As soon as I saw you and this witch together on different occasions I knew I had to do my own investigation. I found out how

"... and he was my dad as well," Malayah said entering the lawyers office with her guard at the door. She had a tip that Anika had gone to see the lawyer and she knew pretty well what that woman can do. There was no way she was loosing to her. " Ah Malayah, fancy seeing you here," she said through grit teeth. " I wish I could say same. I didn't know we had a meeting today...good day Mr Jones," she said taking a seat beside Anika. " There isn't , Mrs Scott-Roberts came in a few minutes just before you did. I didn't call her," the man added. Malayah could see Anika's face twitch in anger, but she didn't give a rats ass about how she felt. " Thanks for having me Mr. Jones, and don't forget what we talked about before we were interrupted," she said walking out of the door. 'How the hell did that bitch know where she was? Did she follow her or have someone follow her?' She asked her self getting into her car before letting out an angry scream. " I don't think she was, she wasn't hom

" You what?! It was a simple task! How could you miss him?" Anika yelled in her room frustrated. She needed to get her hands on her husband's will to make changes and in order to do that the lawyer had to go. Now, here lies the case where her men missed the target. " He was too fast and he was in the midst of a pool of people, it has hard to target him," the man added. " That's no excuse, you could have chased him down or something," she added on frustrated. " The police were on patrol Anika, we couldn't risk our cover being blown." " Fix it!" she yelled ending the call. She needed to lay hands on that will no matter what it took. She had come a long way to loose out on Scott's property. She was his legal wife , thus she and her child deserved the lion share despite what the will said. She needed to alterate it to her advantage. " Is he safe?" Malayah asked her men. " Yes, for now he is. Though she's plotting other ways on how to eliminate him," he answered. " Keep an eye on

"I just received a message from the lawyer, saying that the reading date of your father's will has been postponed." Anika said angrily on the phone. Immediately after receiving the email, she set up a conference call with Cerys and Sage. "No explanation why it was cancelled?" Cerys asked, lying on Aryan's chest. "Nope," "Relax mom, I think he's busy with something else. He'll be in touch with us," Sage added casually, rubbing her stomach. She replied with this, although she wasn't content with the others' suggestions. They had come too far to loose out. Too far! “Okay, I will call you when we know about the next steps. Until then, adios!" she added, ending the conversation. Finally, Aryan was able to breathe. He couldn't risk being caught by Anika and Sage if he spoke. His cover has not yet been blown. It was waaaaay to early. " I think someone has a hand in this. Whoever the person is, I'll find out eventually," she said to no one in particular. " I think your friend maybe rig

" But--- " Babe please?" Kendrick begged kissing her hand. She was seven months gone in her pregnancy journey and Kendrick wanted her to take a break from work. Padma and the rest of her staff could handle business without her. She could also handle work from home in his home office or she could have him set up a home office for her. " I'd be bored and feel lazy and--- He cut her off with a kiss making her blush. " Fine, fine I'll work from home, just cause you begged." she teased. " Thankfully , my plea was heard. Thank you," he said staring into her beautiful eyes. Some years ago, he wanted nothing to do with this wonderful soul. He was still hung up on his ex that anything she did or said did not matter to him. He hurt her so much but she stayed trying to make things work out. At first, he used to think she stayed because of the prize at the end...her inheritance. But he was wrong. She genuinely grew to love him along the years and he wasn't going to trade her for anyone else.

Brie stood beside her husband, and friends as she watched her father's coffin being lowered into the ground. Kendrick gently squeezed her shoulder for support. She had her fists balled as she saw Sage, Cerys and Anika shed crocodile tears. This is what they had wanted from the beginning and now they were pretending to love him? Seriously? " As much as I want to strangle them, they're his family too." Malayah said joining her step-sister. "A family that shouldn't have happened in the first place," she scoffed. " I hate them more than you do. But things will fall in place soon, sooner than you expect," she smiled at her. " Am I interupting something?" Anika asked as she approached them. " Were you trying to?" Brie raised her brow. " Hotheaded as usual. I thought marriage or perharps the accident would have changed you," she said making Kendrick visibly angry. " Too bad that didn't go as you planned," she slightly tilted her head smiling deviously at her step-mother. " I shouldn'

Valerie stood infront of her mirror holding the pregnancy test that showed positive. Yes, her father was dead but he had already stated in his will that she needed to get married and bare him a child before she could acess her share of his inheritance. " Step One complete. Step two underway," she said to no one in particular. Her father's death came as an added advantage to her. " Think of the devil, and he shall call." Valerie said as she picked up her phone to answer the call from her baby daddy. ~ Padma paced back and forth in her hall. It had been weeks since she last spoke to and saw Finn, and she decided it was time to bury the hatchet. It was time they called a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Brie was right. She really didn't have time for the relationship she had with Finn and that wasn't fair on his part. Her anxiety peaked as soon as she heard the doorbell ring. It rang once, twice, and on the third ring her househelp rushed to get the door. "Hi, is she in there?" Fin

" He actually signed them?" she whispered as she held her divorce papers in her hands. She wanted Aryan to come to her and explain what was going on but he chose to take the easy way out like the coward he always has been. " Coward!" she screamed as she slid down the wall crying. Their wedding day replayed through her mind as if she was watching a movie. How could he throw away something so beautiful as their love? Unless he had been faking everything from the onset. " Millie?" Aaron called her name whiles knocking on the door. He turned the doorknob and realised the door wasn't locked in the first place. He let hmself into the house as he looked around to see if he could find her. He heard gentle sniffs and sobs from the kitchen and hurriedly headed there. She was seated on the floor with her back leaned on the wall as she let out sobs. " Hey...are you okay?" He asked as he squatted beside her. She wasn't able to utter a word and handed him the papers Aryan had signed while he carr
