BRYAN'S POV"I'll be outside until you are ready to talk," she announced as I looked at her in disbelief. How can she be so stubborn? But isn't this what you always wanted? I thought as I rubbed my face tiredly. I frowned as a heavy downpour began; the noise outside was overwhelming. She must have gone by now; she’s not crazy enough to stand outside in the rain, is she? I wondered, and I walked toward the door. As soon as I opened it, my eyes widened to see her standing right there. Soaked from head to toe, she hugged herself tightly as her hair fell over her face, staring at me with her innocent eyes. "What are you doing in the rain, you stubborn woman?" I scolded before I could stop myself. Is she trying to kill me or what? "You asked me to leave. I'm not leaving until you take me back," she muttered, and my eyes softened. "You're going to get sick," I said as I stepped into the rain, too. "What are you doing?" she asked in surprise. "I'm doing what you're doing,
LAURA'S POV"We can't do it again. I'm someone's daughter, Mr. Funch," I stated, and he threw his head backward as he laughed crazily."I'm someone's son too, love," he replied, and I smiled."What's with you and these sweet names? The last time I checked, you hated me," I remarked, arms folded and eyebrows raised."I was protecting myself from actually letting my feelings for you control me," he answered, kissing my temple."So you never hated me?" I inquired, playing with my fingers."I can never hate you' I just felt hurt," he responded calmly."Which I had no right to feel in the first place. I'm sorry," I expressed, and he smiled."We have a lot to talk about, but first, let's freshen up," he suggested, carrying me in his arms. I couldn't help but smile at the baby-girl treatment.He helped me get ready and applied lotion to my skin. I helped wash his hair, and he held my wrist when I tried to go downwards."Don't..." he warned with his strained voice."Why?" I wondered, confused
BRYAN'S POV"Fine, I will set things straight with her," I stated calmly."I'm sorry for her, she doesn't deserve any of this," she remarked, and I smiled in her direction."Stop thinking about sad things. C’mon," I urged her, and she smiled, her smile melting my heart in the process.We spent the whole day in my mansion. We even made love again late in the evening and decided to leave the next morning. She cooked Italian dishes for dinner, after which we slept cuddling each other.The next morning, I drove us down to the estate."Bye," she whispered softly as she kissed my lips before heading in her direction. As I made my way to my room, I bumped into Steph."Hey, Sis," I uttered, my cheeks heating with a blush."Laura, huh?" she teased."Who?" I replied, feigning innocence."Oh, please, bro, I saw the romantic gesture. So you guys are finally together again?" she probed again, and I rubbed my forehead."Not exactly, we're still working on it," I answered, and she smiled."Make thin
LAURA'S POV"You'll never be happy! Shameless woman, you think you can take him away from his family. I have his child, I have his daughter! What do you have?" I sat on his bed as her words echoed in my ears. My eyes stung with unshed tears. I was trying my best to hold them back.Her words hurt so bad, it felt like my heart was stabbed over and over again with a knife."That's ENOUGH!" Bryan shouted angrily as he walked her out of his room."You can't say such things to her," I overheard him speaking as he got outside the room."Oh, really? She deserves to hear more after throwing herself at my man!" she yelled. I knew she wanted me to hear everything. I knew I was guilty."She doesn’t know how it feels because she has no child. If she did, she'd know how Ruby will feel without a complete family! You're selfish, Laura!" she screamed, and tears rolled down my face.She was right. I don’t know what having a family feels like. I’ll never know how it feels to have a child of my own.My h
LAURA'S POVAfter my conversation with Julie, I knew what I wanted, and that’s to spend the rest of my life with Bryan.I’m tired of running away from my feelings, tired of hurting him when all he has ever done is love me unconditionally.As if he could hear my decision, he walked into the room at that exact moment. I turned to him with a bright smile."Hey," he murmured softly."Are you okay?" I inquired sweetly as I walked over to where he stood."I should be asking you, my joy," he remarked. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his lips softly, making my heart warm up."I'm fine if you're fine, my crown," I stated. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me sweetly. Pulling me closer by the waist, I felt nothing but his sweetness. I’ve never felt more at peace."I was scared you'd shut me out again," he confessed after a while, and I frowned."Really? I'm sorry," I apologized, staring into his eyes."Why?" he probed, holding my hands."I'm sorry for shutting you out and hurting you. You
LAURA'S POVAfter our night of passionate lovemaking, Bryan pulled me into his arms. A bright smile played on my lips lazily as he kissed my forehead, and I drifted into sleep.I heard his phone ring, and I groaned slowly, turning to find a better position to sleep."What the fuck is going on?" I heard him groan in frustration as he picked up the call, his voice still sleepy."Shit," he cursed under his breath, making me snap my eyes open immediately as I looked in his direction, wondering if everything was okay."My love, what's wrong?" I inquired as I sat up, the sheets dropping to my waist as I watched him put on his shorts, searching for a shirt."Julie's water broke," he replied, and my eyes widened."Like right now? It's 2 a.m.," I uttered in shock."I'm coming with you," I added as I got down and slipped on my room slippers. I was already anxious, and I wasn’t even at the hospital yet."Babe..." he trailed off, concerned."I know it's your family, but I want to be there too. Ju
LAURA'S POVI was fast asleep on the bed when I felt someone walk into the room. My eyes snapped open and softened when I saw it was Bryan, and there was no cause for alarm."What happened to your arm?" I asked, standing up from the bed and walking over to him immediately."Hey, I'm fine," he assured me, but I refused to believe him."You don't look fine to me, Bryan," I stated, a frown on my face. I always had a bad feeling about his outing today, and this just proved me right."We got attacked, but we're good, I promise," he assured me, kissing my forehead, but I refused to buy all that. He was hiding something from me."I have a mission tomorrow night. Mikoy is gonna be there," I informed him before I could stop myself, and he froze."I'm coming with you," he declared almost immediately."Bryan..." I tried to argue."I didn't ask. I'm coming, that's final," he declared, making me anxious."Bryan, I only told you because we promised no secrets between us. I have been taking care of
LAURA'S POVI moaned in pleasure as he kissed me sweetly. The kiss felt so sinful yet sweet, and his naughty hands roamed my body, playing and squeezing my b**bs."Bryan, please..." I cried out in pleasure, as he latched onto my hard nipples, touching me in all my weak spots.I was supposed to be ready for tonight's mission, but here I am, doing something so sinfully dirty with Mr. Finch."Bryan, the be..." I stammered."Turn around, sweetheart," he commanded, and my eyes widened."Wh...what?" I asked, stuttering at how sexy his command was at that point."Turn, baby. If I repeat myself, I'm gonna spank your ass red," he warned, and that turned me on as I spun around before I could stop myself.He patted my legs, and I heard him unzip his trousers. I waited curiously, my desire building up. I was soaking wet by that point. I took off my robe and heard his sharp intake of breath. I cried out the moment he slide into me.My jaw dropped open as I shut my eyes tight, breathing rapidly. I
