BRYAN’S POV

I woke up the next morning with a banging head, I walked into my bathroom, took my bath and brought out the pain relief from my drawer. I remembered I was drunk, but I didn’t remember what happened or how I got home, which is still bothering me.

I got to my office as usual with greetings left and right, which I only nodded to. Few minutes after I settled into my office, Laura walked into my office with a cup of coffee in her hand.

“Good morning sir, this is your coffee, just the way you like it,” she said with a smile on her face, as she dropped the coffee on my desk.

“Thanks,” I muttered under my breath. I picked up the cup of coffee and I inhaled the sweet smell of the coffee, which helped in calming down my nerves.

I looked up to see Laura still standing before me, I couldn't help but feel a little bit curious and concerned about what might be on her mind because she looked lost staring at me.

“Laura, is everything ok?” I asked, with concern laced in my voice as I looke

    BRYAN’S POV I was really impressed by Laura's speech. I'm not gonna lie, she is a smart one. Everyone present in the meeting was impressed by her presentation. Luckily for us, we were able to finalise the deal, which I’m really grateful for. The day ended on a good note as I drove straight to my house. I sent a mail to Laura informing her that we will be going for a business meeting outside the state and she should be prepared. The next day, I requested my driver to go pick her up from her apartment. As she got down from the car at the airport, I sucked in my breath. She walked towards me, with a smile on her face, “Hi Mr. Bryan, trust you had a pleasant night.” I nodded my head, as I led her towards my private jet. I noticed she was reluctant to come into my private jet. I stopped and looked back at her and said, “Come in now,” I gestured toward her, moving away from the entrance. She shook her head, as she muttered under her breath, “I have a phobia for flying in the air,” if

    LAURA'S POV My heart beat crazily against my chest when he sent his hand around my waist and pulled me close. I opened my mouth to say something, but words failed me. My eyes moved from his hazel eyes to his desirable lips. Bryan had this effect on me, and I'm not going to lie, this wasn't what I planned to do. I tried to get away from his grip, but his grip on my waist tightened, he moved his hand from my waist down to my hip. "Br...yan," I froze when his lips met mine. I've always thought what it would feel like to kiss Bryan Finch, and immediately his lips met mine, I lost every single ability to think. "Ahhhhh...nnn," I moaned softly, and that seemed to fuel his desire to ravish me. His hands went over to my bo*b as he cupped it teasingly, and our lips moved in unison. Bryan definitely knew his way around my body. Because I had no idea how fast things got to the point where he had me on the tiled floors beside the pool as he towered over me. "I have always wondered what

    BRYAN'S POVLaura left, she didn't even stop to listen to anything I wanted to tell her. And then the girl proved to have a mind of her own when she refused to pick up my calls. I have this principle of not calling more than once, but she just made me call twice without thinking straight.I poured wine into a glass as my mind went back to her lips against mine and the softness of her butts in my hand.Laura is driving me nuts every minute. It's bad enough that she had this resemblance to Mia, I can't believe I even think of Laura and Mia at the same time these days.Dropping the glass on the table, I picked up the pack of cigarettes and went ahead to lit up a stick.Laura already knows a lot that could put her in trouble, and I can't help the fact that I want to fuck her so bad. I know this is crazy, and I'm supposed to act professionally, but to hell with being professional. I have to get what I want out of this. I already have enough complications going on in my life to last me a l

    LUARA'S POVI froze when his naughty fingers found their way into my skirt, and he had this smirk on his face that made my insides burn."What do you want? What's wrong with you?" I asked when I finally found my voice for a moment, and I held his hand in order to stop him. "For how long are you going to pretend like you don't want me?" He asked, and I shut my eyes and bit my lower lip as his tongue trailed my neck, sucking and nibbling lightly."I will keep my voice low if I were you, Bambi, we have company," he whispered, and I knew he was talking about his driver. "Bryan, this is so unprofessional, this isn't what I signed up for ..." I trailed off, and he smirked as he sucked my neck softly, I parted my legs knowingly.It felt like the kiss drugged me or something because I was acting out on impulse, which was quite unusual. This was supposed to be my first trip with my boss, and here I am, at the mercy of his long, skinful fingers."Bryan ..Bry..." I stuttered, as he shifted my

Even the thought of it made me feel sick in the stomach, but then, things were already out of my control at this point. I placed my phone on the glass table as memories of Mia flooded my mind."Mia, we have to confront him, and you know this!" I suggested as Mia walked into our room. This was already a few weeks before our wedding, and the rate at which we exchanged words was getting worse day by day.Mia dropped her bag on the bed and turned to me with folded hands."Are you going to call off the wedding simply because I refuse to confront him?" she asked, and I just stared at her speechlessly."You fail to understand how powerful he is, Bryan, he can ruin your life in a twinkle of an eye. Yet you want me to risk your life in the process?" She burst out angrily as she looked away."Mia, if we don't make a move towards our freedom, we will continue to be stuck in this game forever,

Bryan and I wanted something simple, by the sea with family and friends, that was it. A few days before my wedding, I noticed I was seriously sick. I couldn't eat anything because the moment it got in my stomach, I threw it all up. I couldn't even leave the bed. Bryan was out of the country with Oscar for business otherwise, he would be worried sick. "Babe, get off the bed, we are supposed to go cake tasting today," Kora complained. "I can't... I feel so weak... my boobs ache a bit, they feel so full..." I murmured weakly. "What?" Julie inquired, and I rubbed my forehead. "Have you eaten something? Besides, you're burning up pretty badly." "I throw up the minute it gets in my stomach," I replied, and she gasped. "When was the last time you saw your periods?" she probed, and I stared at her. "I

    BRYAN'S POV It's been two weeks since the incident with Mikoy and the rest. Laura hasn't been herself, she's been quiet, and the nightmares have moved to a whole new level. It hurt me because it felt like the devil still controlled her happiness from the land of the dead. She has been seeing a therapist, and we are hoping for positive results. I just want my woman to be okay, and maybe a change of environment for a while would help, I thought calmly. "What are you thinking about?" she inquired while walking into our room. It's crazy how I went into a state of confusion when I found out Ruby was not mine. I did a DNA test and I'm waiting for the results. "About you, about us... I think we need space from everything, love," I stated, and she looked at me in confusion as I held her hand. "Let's go out of the country for a while," I suggested, and she stared at my face. "But what about our daughter...?" she trailed off, and my heart warmed at her ability to always create spa

    AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW "Sylvia didn't commit suicide. The annoying thing is the fact that she was murdered right under our nose," Oscar declared angrily as he fixed his tie. "Who killed her then?" Chase inquired as he took a drag from his smoke. "Her former boss," he replied, rubbing his forehead. "Madam Valencia?" Bryan cursed under his breath as he looked away. How she managed to get her men into the estate was definitely something to worry about. "She didn't send her men, she paid one of our men to do it, then sent a letter of apology after her job was done," Oscar responded as he threw the envelope. "And the fucker that betrayed us?" Bryan inquired. "Nowhere to be found for now. I think he went into hiding." "I always knew she wasn't stupid enough to take her own life. Too bad her past came back at her," Trenton commented, shaking his head. "Enough of Sylvia. Tonight is Cindy's party. Everyone must stick to the plan. I want this over. I've had enough of their madness," B

I returned the same hearty smile to him.The meeting moved from dinner to the discussion of our plans and how things would be done."Cindy is already a fool right now when it comes to me, so letting me into her party is gonna be the easiest thing to do," Trenton spoke up, telling us his plan."So Laura is gonna be the bait?" Bryan inquired immediately after I came into the picture."It's a brilliant idea," I uttered before he would say no."Brilliant idea? My love, you can't face that bastard. Remember how it turned out the last time?" He questioned, concern written all over his face."How long will I keep running, love? It's high time I face my past and put an end to Mikoy once and for all, so I'm in," I declared firmly, and he sighed softly without saying anything else.He was angry, but I'd deal with his drama later. We can't add that to the list of our numerous problems.Trenton chipped in, "This time around, we have to

    BRYAN'S POVThey used to have a romantic relationship in the past? If it really isn't something to be worried about, why didn't she tell me? I wondered as I ran my fingers through my hair with a frown on my face."Don't tell me you're still thinking about that stuff," Trenton nudged me on the arm as we walked toward our rooms."I can't help myself," I replied, and he chuckled."Talk to her, then. Don't let doubt creep in. This is the time when you both need each other the most, man," he urged, and I nodded as he walked in the opposite direction.I walked to my room, and there she was, in her nightwear with Ruby in her arms."Hey, love," she greeted with a bright smile on her face.I couldn't return the smile, though, even if I tried, my mind kept going back and forth."My crown," she called, and I sighed softly."Why didn't you tell me you used to have a past with Cris?" I inquired, and she turned to me in confusion."Are we still talking about him, love? I told you, there's no need t

    LAURA'S POV"He asked about Cris," I told my best friend, and Kora stared at me."And what did you tell him?" she questioned while folding some clean towels."Nothing, I didn't tell him. What would I have told him?" I frowned, even the thought kept a rotten feeling in my stomach."At least, Cris used to work for you, so he would let it slide. You don't know how men can be," she chuckled."Cris used to like me so much, there was a time we even kissed, like, made out," I said, scratching my neck nervously."Wait, did you guys sleep together?" she exclaimed, her jaw literally dropping."No, no, bestie, what would make you even think that?" I replied, and she raised both hands in surrender."Don't blame me, baby girl, that guy is smoking hot..." She trailed off."Plus, you guys used to make out in the past," she teased, and my cheeks heated up in embarrassment."Kora..." I whined, and she burst out laughing."Chill, it was in the past.

But he left to make me some, after which I invited him to join me.We ended up eating together, and his phone rang in the middle of the meal. I stared at him curiously as he picked up.He looked shocked about whatever he heard at the other end because he started talking in monosyllables.Something told me deep down that something was off."Huh..." He trailed off and stopped himself from continuing."I need to go," he announced immediately after he hung up the call."Go where? It's evening, and I want you here with me," I replied, and he bit his lower lip."It's very important, baby, but I promise I will be fine," he expressed, and I sighed."At least tell me where you're going, I don't feel too good," I complained."Maybe you're worrying too much," he mentioned and kissed my fo

Her best friend Kora inquired as she rushed into my room where Laura lay unconscious on the bed.We moved her to my place after the doctors were done with the most important treatment."She's still unconscious, but the doctor assured us she's out of danger," I responded, and she heaved a sigh of relief."Glad to hear that. I was worried when they told me what happened," she remarked, and I smiled."I caused it though, I made things worse," I mumbled, and she chuckled."Oh c'mon, it's not easy to be with Mikoy in one space and not want to end his life, not after everything he put our girl through," she said, and I pressed my lips tightly together."Be careful, Bryan. I know Laura would want this fight to end with everyone alive," she commented, and patted my back."I will come to check up on her again.
