BRYAN'S POV"Good morning, son," Mom greeted me as she strolled into my room, carrying a tray in her hands, smiling warmly in my direction. She had come by because Sylvia and I would be getting married in a few months."Mom..." I responded, surprised. She chuckled, setting the tray down on the table."I know you're going to try and skip breakfast like always," she teased, placing her hands firmly on her waist."I have to go out of the city for business," I explained, but she just chuckled again, unconcerned."That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat, son. Health comes before wealth son," she reminded me, stepping closer to help knot my tie."You’re pushing yourself too hard. We talked about this just last month," she scolded lightly, as she narrowed her eyes with concern. I sighed softly."I’ve been taking better care of myself lately," Iuttered, and she shook her head immediately."Skipping meals isn’t taking care of yourself. That’s a terrible habit," she pointed out, gesturing toward the

BRYAN'S POV"The Godfather informed me that you would be coming over, so I made reservations to welcome you," one of our trusted men residing in the territory announced immediately as I walked in."I've been here for a day now, Dan. What's up with things around here? We already lost some of our men lately, and the shipments didn't go as planned," I asked, as we walked in together."Boss, the business hasn't been in good shape. The attack on our factory last night was something else. Our men narrowly escaped." He began."Whoever is heading the attacks on the business must be very dangerous and out to ruin you," he explained, as he led me towards the sitting room."Boss," the men bowed when they saw me.It was a sign of respect they gave to every member of the mafia business, something I had learned to get used to."We need to talk more about this issue and devise a means to get on with the business, and protect the workers as well.""Copy that, Boss," he replied and shook hands with me

BRYAN'S POVI stared at Trenton and Oscar as they explained everything that happened in my absence, how they managed to get my ex and bring her back into the city, not just into the city but into my mansion."Do you even hear yourself right now, Trenton?" I burst out angrily."Bryan, I know you're pissed off right now. Sylvia might have heard from the servants around that she lives in your mansion, but we both know things are going south, especially with Godfather trying to sabotage you from the inside," Oscar explained, and I took deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves."Sylvia and I will be getting married soon. How do you even expect her to come to terms with this reality?""Are you guys for real right now?" I yelled angrily, and they just rubbed their necks nervously."Calm down and think of this as a way to end this game. You know she's useful," Trenton argued, and an uncomfortable silence filled the room.My ride back to the estate was a quiet one, my thoughts were filled with t

LAURA'S POVMemories of the past clouded my mind, and I stopped as I screamed. "Aaaaaa! Aaaaa!" I screamed at the top of my voice, as I stopped and rubbed my neck.I walked into the bathroom and switched on the shower, still in my clothes, and as the cold water hit my skin, I burst out crying badly."It hurts... it hurts so much... it fucking hurts so much," I sobbed, and I gasped in between my tears."You're going to be fine, Laura. Crying is weak... No one should see your weakness. Nothing should be your weakness," I encourage myself, even though I was feeling numb at that moment."Hide wherever you are, because when I finally get you, I'll make sure you live to regret every single minute you breathe," I muttered and closed my eyes as I sank into the bathtub.The next morning, I left early for a run in the estate.I ran to the extreme end and ran back, and when I got to back the front of the mansion, I stopped to drink from my water can.I put on my Bluetooth as beads of sweat roll

LAURA'S POVThe meeting with Trenton, Oscar, and Bryan did not end well, but we had this conversation that opened my mind to the fact that I would be working closely with him. If we would ever get a chance at ruining Blake in his own game, I had to find out who Cindy and my stepmom sold me off to. I stared at myself in the mirror as I put on my eye lens. Kora stared at me with a frown on her face, yes she freaked out when she heard of my return to the city and the fact that I was going to stay at my ex's estate.In fact, she could not wrap the idea around her head. "You look different," she remarked, and I could hear worry in her voice."That's why I didn't want you to know, you worry too much," I replied as I straightened my dress. "You won't blame me. You've hidden so many dirty secrets, Laura. You left the city without a word and now you're working with Bryan. It makes me feel like you're a part of something illegal." She began"Did I really not mean anything to you?" she asked

LAURA'S POV "Good evening, beautiful," he trailed off with a smile on his face, and I turned towards him with a fake smile."Good evening, sir," I responded with fake nervousness, as I played with my fingers shyly."Here's your drink, ma'am," the bartender called, and I took it, sipping slowly."You're such a damsel. I've been watching you work that beauty," he observed, and I faked a blush."Thanks, sir." "I want to be with you. What can I do for you tonight?" he inquired, and I laughed."You're such a fine man, sir," I smiled teasingly as I got close to him, purposely flaunting my boobs.He moved closer to me, sending his hand to my waist. "Oh, sir," I laughed, and he chuckled."I want us to have some alone time, me and you..." I proposed, and he stared at me."I like you, dear. You didn't even stress me at all. Straight to the business," he remarked with his thick accent.I've always hated sick men like him who didn't care about the age of the ladies they took to bed, and Mr. D i

BRYAN'S POV I was angry she wasted time in there with that old hag. I couldn't help but lose it when I saw her walk out looking like someone who has been f*cked. And then, I reacted on impulse. I don't get angry easily, but when I do, everyone knows it's never nice. I stared at her in anger as she pulled her sling bag closer to her body. "I don't need your help. I'll call Cris to pick me up," she replied, hurt. It was pretty obvious my words hurt her, but that's exactly what I wanted her to feel, the pain she put me through when she walked away from me. "Get in the car before I walk up to you!" I snapped, and she just stared at me with her green doe eyes. Laura has always been a stubborn woman. Anyone who knew her knew just how much she hates being controlled, something I observed even before we dated in the past. "I'm not your wife, and I'm definitely not someone you should be yelling at," she retorted, and I stormed out of the car in anger. "Do not test my patience, Laura

BRYAN'S POV"I'm going to my room," I stated as I got up immediately."But, baby..." she trailed off."Sylvia..." I uttered, and she sighed."It's okay; at least you came out for me tonight," she remarked, and I smiled at her excitement."Goodnight," I announced, and she hugged me. I kissed her forehead as I strolled towards my room.As I was walking toward the direction of my room, I heard Julie's voice in the kitchen and I frowned. Oscar wasn't around, and hearing her voice in the kitchen means only one thing, I knew she was having one of her weird cravings.Who knows what she would want to eat this time? The last time I saw her and Oscar this late at night, she wanted fried eggs and roasted potatoes with maple syrup on top.He and I had to plead with her not to eat that weird food. She cried until he gave in. Or the day she told him to sing for her outside the mansion.It was funny yet cute. Julie has always had her moments of craziness with this pregnancy, so I decided to check on
