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
LAURA'S POVIt was time for the dance, and I knew just what I wanted.As I moved to the dance floor, I could feel pairs of eyes burning holes into my skin.One belonged to my man. I could recognize his intense gaze because it did something sweet to my insides. The other belonged to the girl under the mask. I held her gaze, and her unfamiliar eyes made me curious.*Who is she? She's with Mikoy, and that makes her an enemy of mine.*Lastly, I held Mikoy's dirty gaze as I swayed my hips to the music while different people moved to the dance floor.He’d come over to me because the old bastard couldn't help himself around beautiful women.I did a countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. I felt his dirty hand snake around my waist.My blood went cold as memories of his different assaults filled my mind."Beautiful," he whispered into my ear, and the stench of smoke hit my nostrils.Mikoy has always been a disgusting man, and this just proves the extent of his madness."Dance," he whispered softly, yet
BRYAN'S POV"How is she doing now? Is she okay?" 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. Yvonne is awake," she informed me, and I murmured an okay."Everything is complicated, Cindy is part of Mikoy's team, meaning they planne
