Brian's POV

It killed me to see her upset. She doesn't see how strong she is. I'm falling for this girl. Hard.

13

She finally cried herself to sleep so I picked her up and took her to her bedroom.

She looked so beautiful as she slept. I wiped a piece of hair from her face. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Honestly my parents don't care if I'm married or not. Elena needs help and I will do everything in my power to help her. I was so happy the day at the diner when she was my waitress. I seen her before and she was beautiful without a trace of makeup on. Kade and Elena deserve so much more than this.

3

I got up from her bed and made a phone call. Within 30 minutes I had every possession she had packed loaded on a truck.

I then fell asleep on the couch in the living room.

.........

"Get up!" I heard as I was pushed off the couch and into the floor.

"Listen to me. Last night never happened. I just... I never breakdown. It never happened," Elena said as she walked away.

5

Kade walked over to me and sat down on my back.

"Kade.... What are you doing?" I asked him questioningly.

"Sitting on you.... Duh." 3

"Why."

"Cause I can." Then he got up and walked to the kitchen. Everything but the beds, cabinets and chairs were in the truck to be moved to my house.

3

"Are you ready Elena!" I yelled to her.

"Yes." She said carrying a few things that weren't in the truck.

She acted as if she didn't break down last night. As if it never happened at all.

"Hey dude! Will you carry me? My feet hurt," Kade said with his hand outstretched toward me.

11

"Sure." I said as I picked him up and carried him to the car.

Elena was already in my silver 2016 Bentley Continental GTC. I told the truck driver to go on to my house. I sat Kade in the back seat and got in the drivers seat.

1

Elena didn't say a word as I began driving to my house.

......

Elena's POV

We pulled up into a driveway. I looked up and seen the biggest house I have ever seen. There were three visible floors and before we could enter the rest of the driveway, Brian told the man at a booth to please open the gate. The huge gate opened and Brian drove to the back of the house. There was a garage that went underneath his house where there was five more cars. He got out of the car and opened Kade's door. I got out and Brian led us to an elevator. I was still amazed at his house.

"This place is huge!" Kade screamed.

"I think you will like this room." Brian said as we followed him to a door.

He opened up the door and there was the biggest game room I had ever seen.

"Ahhhh!!!" Kade screamed as he went to play games.

"Now you follow me," Brian said leading me to another door.

"This is your room."

It was huge and my boxes were already in it.

Brian walked out the door. I laid down on the bed when I landed on something. I rolled over and picked it up. There was a small velvet box. I opened it and inside there was a diamond wedding ring.

1

I put the ring on my finger. I remember last night when I broke down. I only cry when I am alone. No one needs to see my walls fall down. I took the ring off and set it back in the box.

My door opened. I looked up into Brian's eyes. He shut the door and walked over to my bed and sat down.

"May I?" He asked taking the ring out of the box.

I shook my head yes. He gently picked up my hang and slid the ring on my finger. 

2

"Do you like it?"

Nothing could stop the tingling sensation I had while Brian held my hand. I quickly stood up and walked over to one of my boxes and began unpacking.

"Yes. It's quite beautiful," I said shortly trying to block out all my feelings. 1
"Good.... Um... I scheduled you an appointment for Yale tomorrow. One of their representatives is going to meet you at my office to discuss your options for online classes." 2

"Thanks," I muttered

"You can pick whichever car downstairs you want."

"Thanks," I muttered again

"Elena what's wrong" Brian huffed at me.

I said nothing.

"You know it is okay to cry right?"

I looked in his eyes.

"I don't know why you won't let go? I'm taking care of you all now. What more can I do for you? Am I not good enough?! What is wrong with you? Let me in your head Lena. I actually care for you. I like you! Get that in your head." Brian said as he paced back and forth the room.

8

He put his hands on my face.

I jumped off the bed about to run away when he caught my arm. He pulled me into his chest while I cried. Two years of walls I have built were falling down.

He held me as a cried. I couldn't stop. He put my head in his hands and looked at me.

"I'm not going to hurt you" he said.

He slowly leaned in closer to me. I could feel his breath on my lips as he got closer.

"Are you okay with this?" He asked.

I closed my eyes and backed away slowly.

"Brian, I...I just ..I... Can't." I said running out of the room

    It's so hard to let someone in. I haven't even known Brian for a week and I'm already "engaged" to him. You can't develop feelings for someone in that amount of time.3I look up and notice I have no idea where I am. I walk over to a table with a few photos on it. I gently pick one up and look at it. A man and woman that resemble Brian is in the picture. A younger Brian and a Brian look alike is between to two staring at a baby in the woman's arms.I study the picture for a moment and pick up another. Brian and the Brian look alike are smiling at the camera with a little girl sitting in the floor crying."I see you met Ben and Carly."The frame drops from my hand and scatters across the floor in several shards."Oh my gosh. Brian I'm so sorry," I say as I get down on my knees and begin to pick up the pieces.

I heard Kade say.I turned the corner and found Kade talking with an older gentleman."Lena!" Kade said jumping into my arms."Hey buddy.""This is Lucas. He's my new friend.""Miss.

The waitress said batting her eyelashes at Brian.Brian said his order reading off the menu paying her no mind.1She walked away swaying her hips more than necessary."Everywhere we go someone tries to flirt with you," I tell Brian."Who is jealous now, Mrs. Winters?"1"Oh, I am not jealous.

    My eyes gently fluttered open to an empty spot beside me. I looked over at my alarm clock. It was 8:26. I knew Brian was already home from work and would want to talk with me. However, I'm not sure I want to talk with him right now. I stood up from my bed and stretched. I walked to Kade's room and seen him in Brian's arms. Brian was swaying back and forth as if he was putting Kade to sleep. I looked at the two of them with an awe. I never knew Brian was so good with children. Kade eventually fell asleep and Brian sat him into his bed, tucked him in, and placed a slight kiss on his forehead."I promise to give you and your sister the best life that I can," I heard him whisper as he pushed Kade's hair out of his eyes.Brian stood up and went to walk toward the door. I quickly walked back to my room and laid down on the bed. I'm not sure if I want to face Brian just yet. He is so confusing at times. One minute he is the perfect gu

    Brian and I hung around the house all morning Wednesday just getting to know each other. I had my head on one end of the couch facing him."Will you tell me about your sister?" I asked looking at Brian."Carly is great," he said smiling, "she always kept me on my toes. It's been just the two of us for the past six years. We got really close once.... Well you know.... happened. She was ten. She didn't feel the loss like I did. Loosing your twin is like seeing yourself pass. That could had been me. I should've been the one that-""Brian," I stopped him, "don't say that. You are here for a reason. You're supposed to be here."I sat up and moved closer to Brian."Do you want to talk about him?"

That is fine."Kade had stayed over at her apartment plenty of times."Okay sweetie. See you tomorrow."I hung up the phone and placed it back in my pocket."Is he okay? Where's Kade?"

    Last night I agreed to go to a business dinner with Brian tomorrow. He scheduled me a fitting at one of the nicest dress boutiques in the area. After four dreadful hours I found one that I actually liked. The dress would be sent to Brian's house tomorrow. I picked Kade up from Mrs. Smith's and he was currently in the game room playing any game he could get his hands on. He was very excited to stay with Mrs. Smith next week. I'm not going to lie. I am going to miss him terribly. We have never been away for this long.

    Fine, fine!" he rubbed his face, "whatever you want, just... don't do it." "Don't get involved in my life, and I will not get involved in yours." **** **** After Matt was dealt with, I felt much lighter. The next day was a Saturday. I woke up first, like usual. On most days, Irene slept in. She had admitted to me that for years, she could rarely afford to sleep in the mornings with the kind of work that she did. Now that she could work on her own time, she took full advantage of it. Thoughsleeping inwas a relative term. She would never stay in bed past eight thirty. I would make breakfast, and we'd have it together before joining our family in the tennis club. 2

    I see." I stepped closer until I could whisper in his ear, "I don't give a fuck about your excuses, Matt. We both know what's really happening here. But I'm not dealing with you tonight."I pushed past him towards Irene. I would deal with Matt properly, and by the time I was done with him, he would come begging for mercy.1Irene smiled and rose when I reached her. The interpreter looked more than relieved to be spared signing the two women's words. What kind of crap had they been spouting?The two women looked at me with wide eyes. They scrambled to their feet."Oh, Leo! I didn't know you were coming?" one of them said, her name was Elizabeth or Isabella or something like that.I gave her a look and wrapped Irene in a short hug. She might look calm and unaffected, but I knew her enough to read the anger in her face and body. She wa

    Leo"So, what do you think?" Lydia asked me as soon as I picked up my phone."About what?" I replied, motioning for Brandon to take the documents I just signed. He nodded and left the office, closing the door behind him. I turned my chair to look through the ground to ceiling glass behind my desk. The city below was busy.4"Ugh! I sent you a video of the venue five minutes ago!" Lydia said.I closed my eyes. "Lydia. You know neither Irene nor I care about the venue. We just want to get married.""You are going to be the death of me! I can't wait for Irene to come back!" she screamed and hung up.I sighed and checked the message she'd sent me. It was a video of yet another wedding venue. This one was outdoors, in what looked like a lush garden. Irene would like it.Except that, unlike

    Nathaniel held on for about a year, respecting Irene's mother's wishes to leave them alone. But then he started looking for them again. It was about the time his company faced difficulties. So Eve made him the offer to pull his company off the ground if he would drop all efforts of looking for his daughter. Nathaniel did. And that was why I would never get along with him. He had chosen his company over his child. I didn't care about his excuses. Nothing in the world would keep me from my child. 3 The man hadn't even had the guts to tell Irene the whole truth back when she asked why he didn't look for her. Nathaniel was a selfish bastard. 1 Sure, he was now present in Irene's life, trying to be a father to a daughter who'd been through more than he could imagine. I didn't care

Irene was sitting with the twins on a couch, engrossed in what seemed like a senseless conversation with the two toddlers. She was so good with them, it was no wonder Julianna worshipped the ground Irene walked on. Well, pretty much everyone did, really, not just Julianna.1Jayden, Grayson and I were standing by the french doors of the living room leading out to the garden. The weather was nice enough to keep them open."So, I heard Megan stopped by the exhibit," Jayden said. I made a face. Irene must have t

'He'll probably want to see you.'I didn't know whether I wanted to see him now or not. But I had decided I would get my life together, and the first step in doing that would be to face my past.I took a deep breath and nodded, "yes, I'll meet him."Leo hesitated for a moment. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he held back and took the call. I looked away, not wanting to read his lips. I really didn't want to meet Nathaniel right now. There were so many questions that onlyhecould answer, and asking those questions meant digging de

    I had lunch with Julianna, then headed to the library. The coffee shop was only a ten minute walk from the center, so I walked there. It gave me time to think. What did I want to do with my life?The answer came immediately. I loved painting. If I could paint for the rest of my life, I would be the happiest person alive. But I also knew that it wasn't easy to make your name known enough in the art industry in order to make a living out of it. I did want to try, however.Which meant that I had to find a job to support myself, while at the same time working on getting my paintings out there.A job? Most well paying jobs require a college degree. With Julianna's payment for the mural and what Sophia paid me for the painting she commissioned, my bank account was no longer suffering.3When I reached the library, I went online, did some research, then some calc

    She grinned and propped her chin on her hand, "you're not going to tell me it's too dangerous."I rolled my eyes with a smile, 'now you're just being mean.'She laughed. The waiter arrived with menus and left. Irene wrinkled her nose at her menu."I have no idea what half these dishes are," she said. There was humor in her eyes. I relaxed.'What are you in the mood for?' I signed.She pondered over it for a moment, "I'm craving seafood."I scanned the menu, then signed, 'trust me?'She pretended to think about it with a deep sigh, "Maybe. But youarea good cook, so I'll just have to take my chances.""Alright, smarty pants," I said with a smile. Her sense of humor had gotten more... unrestricted recently. But only with me, and I loved it.Food arrived.

    Leo's eyes landed on Mrs. Braxton, he stopped beside me. I was now surrounded by three giant, over protective and angry men. I felt sorry for the hotel staff.8Two guards took a few steps back and stood behind the young employee. The poor guy spoke with a bobbing throat to Jayden, while Mrs. Braxton stood her ground. Her stubborn chin raised, but her features had gone from contemptuous to cordial when Leo and Jayden joined us.The only time I had seen Leo this mad was at Lydia's birthday party, when he punched that man, Matt. And just when I thought things had gotten blown way out of proportions, life proved me wrong. Nathaniel Braxton and his son, Vincent, walked up to us with matching frowns.Of course! Join the party!
