Well, she laid still, or quietly.He got to her bed, stroking her hair gently as he smothered it across her face. Her eyes snapped open and he jerked. He thought she was asleep. She sat up immediately staring deadly into his eyesJASPER'S POVEarlier today, I got a call that she was finally awake. But Bryan was always hovering around, so I had no time to make a quick stop. He looked really restless when I saw him step out. Like he's not slept for days.He put her in this state and dare act remorseful? Did he forgot who he was?"Bryan Braxton" I chuckled.As I walked into the hospital room, I was taken aback by Quinn's fragile appearance. She looked like she'd been through a war. I felt guilty and concerned, knowing that I had a role to play in her current situation. If he wasn't trying to hid her from me, we wouldn't have been here."Hey", I called, walking towards her bed stand."I heard you were in admitted," I said, trying to sound casual as I handed her a bouquet of flowers.Her e
MATT'S POVShe nodded, "Sure, we can, Matt. I'll see you around."I gave her one final hug, holding on a little tighter than necessary. "Take care of yourself, Quinn," I whispered.Quinn smiled and pulled back, her eyes sparkling. "I will, Matt. You too, okay?"I forced a smile, feeling a pang of guilt. "Yeah, I will."With one final glance, she turned and walked out of the club, leaving me to my thoughts.As I watched her, I felt this wave of sadness over me. It's been a while I've seen her lately, ever since that incident. Bryan was doing everything in his power to keep her safe, hidden away from prying eyes like Jasper's reach.I let out a deep sigh, the weight of my own secrets crushing down on me.How about me?I've been working for Jasper, but my interest in Quinn has never been about the job. It's always been about her. I took this job seriously after I got to know Quinn, and it's been her all along.If only she could see that I'm not like Jasper. If only she could learn to leav
QUINN'S POVI sat in the car, fiddling with my black glasses as I stared out at the sea of mourners gathered outside. Today is the day we say our final goodbyes to my father, the man who had once been the head of Sutherland Corporation.The company that Bryan now owned, and it is ironic that its investors had come crawling back after the ownership had been passed. The company was now one of the top three influential private businesses, and it seemed that his efforts would live on, even if he wasn't around to see it.I sat there, I couldn't help but think about mom. She is the reason I decided to attend this funeral, despite my reservations. She loved him, despite his flaws and all, and I knew that she would want me to be there for her today.I adjusted my scarf, making sure that it was securely in place. I managed to keep a low profile over the years, avoiding the blogs and the prying eyes of the public. Only a handful of people knew that I was my father's half-daughter, and I intended
I gasped, my eyes snapping open in surprise. "Bryan, what are you doing?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He looked up at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Just relax yourself, my love," he urged.I felt a shiver run down my spine as he continued to suck on my toes. It was a strange sensation, but it was also strangely erotic.As he moved his mouth up my legs, I felt my desire growing. I reached out and grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to me."Bryan, please," I whispered, my voice urgent with need.He looked up at me, his eyes burning with desire. "Please what, my love?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I looked at him. "I need you," I whispered, my voice barely audible."No! I need you to be my bride." He spat, and I wondered if we weren't already together. Is he requesting my approval right now ?--------------Bryan's eyes grew aggressive as he pulled me closer. His mouth went straight to my neck. I shivered from the effect."

I watched as Bryan made his way over to a tall sleek man who looked like he was in his late twenties, clapping him on the back and saying something in his ear.The man nodded in approval, looking like he was trying to make a quick escape. But before he could, Bryan grabbed the microphone again."And now, ladies and gentlemen," he called, "It's time to bring out the real entertainment."The room erupted into another round of cheers and catcalls as a group of strippers appeared from the shadows, dressed in lingerie and thong outfits. They made their way to the stage, where they began to dance and perform.I watched in disgust, feeling like I was trapped in some kind of bad dream. This was not the kind of place I wanted to be, and I definitely didn't want to be here with Bryan and his sleazy friends. It reminded me of the reason I avoided the VIP lounge on most occasions.But I was stuck there, at least for the rest of the night. And who knew what other surprises Bryan had in store for
BRYAN’S POV"I want to go home," she whispered.Exactly what I had imagined.Always running away when necessary, my grip on her tightened. I couldn't let her go. Not now, not ever."I'll never let you go," I muttered, my voice barely audible.Quinn's eyes widened, and she tried to push away, but I held firm."Bryan?" she muttered, her voice low and soothing.I didn't answer. I couldn't. My mind was racing with thoughts of losing her again.Why did she always want to leave? Didn't she understand that I have suffered enough, waiting so long for her?I knew her family had come to her for help. They have no option but Quinn. This time, I am ready. I will clear all obstacles, and make sure nothing stands in our way.I'll show her she's mine. I'll make her fall in love with me, no matter what it takes.My eyes locked onto hers, and I saw the fear creeping in. But I knew it was mixed with something else – an attraction.She feels it too. She just doesn't know it yet.————————-EVA’S POVAs I
