Rogue Adams’ POV“Mr. Quinn is rushing you to marry his granddaughter, man. This is the chance you’ve been waiting for.”I smirked at Leon and shook my head. “I can wait.”Leonardo West is my best friend. We’ve been friends since high school and he knew about my hidden feelings for the luxurious Brianna Quinn. That woman is exceptional. Everyone would turn their heads to their direction when she comes. She’s literally a head turner. Her beauty is timeless. So fcking goddess-like. Cain fcking Hamilton was lucky she liked him, but that motherfcker wasted his chance.“Wait?” He laughed. “You’ve been waiting for five years. Aren’t you tired?”I shook my head and sipped on my drinks. “I won’t get tired of this fight.”He groaned as if he's the one getting impatient for me.“You know, sometimes it’s not bad to take advantage of the opportunities.” He drank and lifted his empty glass. “Your intention is clean anyway.”Still, I'm not gonna rush things. Brianna is having a hard time with her l
Brianna’s POVI smirked after Cain walked out on me. I took my phone out and checked on the taxi that I reserved but it’s not responding. I sucked my breath and irritation immediately replaced my happiness.My forehead creased when I saw Cain’s car stopped. I shook my head and checked my phone again when a car parked in front of me. It was an old black pick up. My lips parted after I saw the man in the driver seat. He slightly pulled his aviator glasses down and smiled as soon as our eyes met.“Hi.”I blinked numerous times. He looked so handsome in a black t-shirt, aviator glasses and loose necklace.He chuckled. “I might melt, babe.”I gasped because of his shameless remark. He’s really arrogant yet I found myself smiling back at him. I don’t know what’s in him that ever since he helped me in that bar, I would always find myself losing my cool because of his arrogant smile and hooded eyes.“Mr. Rogue Adams,” I uttered his name and he looked so amazed.“Ah! It feels so good to know y
Brianna’s POVI forced myself to forget about what happened inside Rogue Adams’ car. My heart kept on pounding as I rode the elevator. I caressed my chest and swallowed hard. Why do I feel like this? We’re not close. We just met so why am I reacting this way towards him? He’s making my body alive. There was an undeniable sexual tension between us and I certainly know it wasn’t only me. He feels it too, reason why he almost kissed me inside his car,My lips parted and became restless as I tried to suppress the heat burning me inside. I swallowed hard, determined to forget about the incident.You can’t be like this again, Brianna. He’s also a man. You just can’t…Argh!“Miss Bree…”I lifted my face and looked at Levi, who was waiting for me in front of the elevator.“He keeps on asking about you, Miss Bree. He’s really mad.”I nodded at Levi and went to my office without saying anything. There I saw my uncle standing in the middle of my office. His hands were on his waist and his bloodsh
Brianna’s POVI laughed and shook my head in disbelief. I fixed my gaze on him as he looked at me like he’s some wolf, preying on me. I can’t believe he still sees himself as an authoritative man who can control me whenever he wants. This is absurd.I came here to confirm what Uncle Aiden said and I just got the answer. Cain indeed manipulated me. He must’ve known that someday I’d come back to my senses and he took advantage of my stupidity. I’m just thankful I woke up in time, he might have taken all my properties and rights if I came to my senses a little late.“You will never see me beg again, Cain.”His eyes sharpened. “You will lose your company, Brianna. I’m telling you. Don’t let your pride drive your sanity or you’ll wake up in a bed of nail.”The corner of my lips rose. “I’ve been to bed of blades, Cain. In your arms.”I turned my back and walked out of that room. I got the answer to my questions and the fact that I confirmed it makes me weak even more. I’m losing my wealth a
Brianna’s POVHe hugged me and kissed my hair last night. I couldn’t take it off of my mind. I was so shocked. Not only because of what he did, but because I didn’t do anything. His arms were so warm and comforting, something I never felt towards a man for a very long time. I couldn’t help but to compare him with Cain. And surely, no doubt, Cain didn’t reach even half of his trait. The way he caressed my hair. The way he whispered how worried he was. The way he treats me. It was very different. It was as if he’s known me for so long.“Miss Bree…”I jumped in a swivel chair and looked at Levi. I cleared my throat, making up for the embarrassment I suddenly felt. “Y-Yes?”“I’m here to remind you about your meeting with a prospect investor. His secretary said he’ll be waiting at this address. It was a high-end restaurant, Miss Bree. And he’s expecting you at 1 PM today.”I nodded and massaged my forehead. I was preoccupied by what happened last night and the problem the company is facing
Rogue’s POVI’m on my way to meet Levi Thompson, Brianna’s assistant, to talk about the current state of their company. I’m worried. Last night after misunderstanding Brianna’s intention at the bridge, I got so scared and hurt. After she left, I immediately told my secretary to schedule a private meeting with Brianna’s assistant to know what’s happening.Actually, I don’t wanna interfere in her life. She’s a strong woman and I know she can get through this but after seeing her like that, even without the intention of jumping off the bridge, I decided to silently find a way to help her with her problems.I was about to enter the VIP room when the door in the next room swung open. A familiar sweet scent filled my nose and even without looking, I immediately recognized the woman who opened the door. To confirm my hunch, I bore my eyes at her and my lips parted in shock because of her state.Her lips were so wet and bright red. Her hair was a little mess. Her cheeks are flushed although h
Brianna’s POV“I’m sorry, Miss Bree. I was incompetent.”I lifted my eyes from some documents to look at Levi’s regretful face. When I confronted him about my meeting yesterday, he was also clueless about the identity of the prospect investor. Cain used another name to lure me into that meeting. I was mad at Levi for not doing a background check about the person I will meet but I am well aware that I have my share of faults.I shook my head. “Forget it, Levi. What about the companies I asked you to make an appointment with? We have to find new investors or we’ll have to file bankruptcy.”He looked down. “I apologize, Miss Bree. The companies I contacted aren’t interested.”My forehead creased. “What do you mean? You contacted three companies today and yesterday, right?”He nodded and fixed his specs. “Well, the company yesterday set a meeting for next week, but today, their secretary called and canceled it.”I blinked and sucked my breath. This is insane! I know for sure that Cain has
Brianna’s POV“Wow!”I flashed a sweet smile at Blake who got out of his car and praised me. I noticed we’re wearing a paired color and I liked it. He walked towards me in a dashing suit and offered his arm. “Shall we?”I snaked my arm on his arm and he guided me towards the shotgun seat. He was careful and gentle as he closed the door on my side. I watched him go to the other side of the car. Before he invests in my company, he wants me to accompany him to his uncle's birthday party. I’m nervous, alright! I mean, Blake Lucas’ family is now one of the riches and his uncle was a legendary actor. So I’m certain there would be a lot of people, showbiz or non, in the party. They might even recognize me.“Are you nervous?”I glanced at Blake and smiled softly. “Kinda. People might recognize me.”The corner of his lips rose. “Of course, they’d recognize you. The luxurious Brianna Quinn, heiress of The Quinn’s Villa is seen with Blake Lucas, the handsome nephew of a legendary actor.”I smirk
Rogue's POV"Why don't you tell her about how you feel?"My forehead creased as I looked at Leon, "Can you see her happy face whenever she's with that frog? I can't ruin that."One of our college friends laughed and tapped my shoulder, "Man, that woman is so elegant and high. It will never be easy to get her attention."I groaned and pushed his hand away. "I know."I sighed and looked at my legs. I'm sitting on a wheelchair. I'm still recovering and receiving therapy because of the accident I had with Brianna. I talked to her grandfather last time and he told me that she couldn't remember anything.Mr. Quinn begged me not to remind her about the accident because it might affect her health. I understand. For me it's what matters the most too. Her health.But seeing her happy with another man, it breaks me. When did she meet him, anyway? In the hospital? Damn!My blood would boil in anger whenever I see them together but I have to endure it. I need to. For her health. For her safety.I
Brianna's POVWhen I woke up in a hospital for the second time after an incident, I stared at the ceiling for so long.I had a dream or was it a reality? I was brought back to the future again and in the future, Rogue saved me. It was like a continuation of what happened before. Rogue pulled me and saved me from Cain's shoot, but he was shot by Amber. Rogue died on that day saving me. He didn't care if he get shot by another bullet from Amber just so he can save me from Cain.That's what will happen in the future. I was brough back here not only to fix my life but to save Rogue. He's destined to die in Amber's hand. Amber will be the reason behind his painful death and it scares me now."Babe!" Rogue's voice brought me back to the reality. He held my hand, "I'll call the doctor."I shook my head. "Where is Amber?"He swallowed hard as anger ignite in his eyes. "She's dead. She died in her car."Am I considered evil if I say I'm glad she's dead? That only means Rogue is saved. I won't
Brianna's POVI forced myself to open my eyes to see what's happening and who dragged me. My elbow and head hurts. I caressed my head and looked at the person on the driver seat. I was sitting on the shotgun seat, tied and helpless.My eyes widened after I recognized the person beside me. It's been a long time since I last saw this face and it's making me so angry seeing how this person is trying to ruin my life again."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, AMBER?"She smirked and glanced at me, "You will die now, Brianna."I shook my head, "Even if you kill me right now, you won't get your life back—""IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" She shouted hysterically. "YOU RUINED MY CAREER! YOU RUINED MY LOVELIFE! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, BRIANNA!"Her hands on the steering wheel are shaking. I gritted my teeth and accidentally glanced at the side mirror. My heart kicked inside my chest after I recognized the car following us. Rogue has found out about my sudden disappearance."Your life is good now while I
Brianna's POVDays and months passed real fast. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl and she actually looks like her daddy. Her eyelashes were long, curled and thick. Her nose was pointed and proud. Her eyes are gray, probably because I've grown to love Brent's gray eyes when I was pregnant.I was lying on the hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown. I woke up early the next morning after I gave birth to our first born. Rogue didn't sleep though. Our parents told me everything right after I woke up.When I lost my consciousness after delivering our baby girl, Rogue panicked. He almost threw all the equipment inside the delivery room, thinking he'd lose me. Mom was so worried as she told me about that."She's so tiny." Rogue is currently staring at our daughter, sleeping in my arms.I smiled at him. "You wanna carry her?"He shook his head and swallowed hard, "Next time. I-I still don't know how to carry her."The door swung open revealing a female nurse smiling at us while holding a piec
Brianna's POVI ran to the bathroom early in the morning only to vomit. My body felt so heavy and I'm still so sleepy. A few minutes later, I felt a warm big hand caressing my back.I lifted my face and met Rogue's eyes through the mirror. I gave him a weak smile.He looked very worried as he turned the faucet on and washed my mouth. After drying my mouth, he kneeled beside me and caressed my three months baby bump."Baby, don't make it too hard for mommy, please…"I smiled even more and brushed my fingers against his messy hair. He looked up at me worriedly.I chuckled, "It's normal."He groaned. "I'll probably back out from my original plan of having many kids."We stayed in the beach house all throughout my pregnancy. Rogue was working from home while taking care of me. My pregnancy is so sensitive. There are times that I'd pick a fight with Rogue but my husband patiently calms me down everytime. He would always kiss me and hug me to calm me down. He was so patient, so understandin
Brianna’s POVIt was a sunny afternoon, under the bright and blue sky, with the calm waves of the ocean, the warm touch of the air and soft music playing. It was so beautiful to feel and to see and to experience. I could say this is one of the happiest moments of my life. One of the most beautiful. One that I will treasure in my heart.Carrying a bouquet of flowers, people smiling and praising me, wearing a white long and elegant dress while walking on a red carpet. My veil was so long and so elegant. I’m already in the middle of the aisle, but the tip of my veil is still under the floral arch.I roamed my eyes. This is so perfect. Our family members gathered here, watching this magical moment in my life.I never felt this happy and this priceless when I married Cain. I guess I wasn’t really in love with him. I was just blinded by my own fantasy of having a man by my side who will side with me and protect me without thinking twice. It was Rogue Adams Ryder. From the very beginning, it
Brianna’s POVTrue to his word, Rogue brought me to a beach house. It was so beautiful and fascinating. I was in awe while watching the calm waves of the ocean reaching the shore. It’s so refreshing and calming to be here.I took my shoes off and let my feet get buried on the white sand. I smiled as I lifted my face to look at Rogue. He was the one who operated the helicopter on our way here and now the helicopter is leaving operated by his guard.“You like it here?” He asked, smiling sweetly.I nodded, “Yes. Thank you for bringing me here, Rogue.”He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my temple, “Anything for my babies.”I grinned and took my phone out. I took a photo of my feet buried under the white sand. I also took a photo of us. Rogue’s face was serious everytime I included him in my shots. I frowned at him.He scratched the back of his head. “I’ll take a photo of you.”Now, I’m glaring. “Don’t be a killjoy and smile while I take photos. I wanna enjoy this moment, Rogue
Brianna's POVI smiled and waved at Brent and Diane after I dropped them off to their school. Diane just groaned and waved back lazily while Brent waved back while smiling from ear to ear.After dropping them off, I'm off to the company. I have to remain in my position for the meantime. Rogue doesn't want to take my position because he said I deserve it more than anyone else.It's been a month since Brent and Diane's school started. I've recovered from the traumatic incident that led me to sleep for three days. I'm okay now and I'm coping up with our current situation.When I reached the company, Levi greeted me. I smiled at him and went straight to my office.I feel so light and happy. Now, I'm free and safe.Cain is now behind bars. Also Uncle Aiden. Amber suddenly disappeared. Some say she's hiding from her haters, some say she's too embarrassed to face the people. About Andrea, she migrated to another country—I heard from mommy, Rogue's mom.A half week after I got discharged, Rog
Brianna's POV"OH MY GOD!"Rogue immediately covered my naked body with his large frame. I had a glimpse of who shouted and my cheeks burned again in embarrassment. It was Rogue's mom who immediately pushed her husband who's about to enter. I don't know what happened next because it covered my vision but I heard Rogue's father groaned."Mom! Dad!" Rogue growled at his parents."I'm s-sorry, okay. We didn't know. If we only knew..."I bit my bottom lip as I Rogue quickly pulled my pants up and locked its button before he zipped his pants.My lips twisted because of the uncomfortable feeling of my wet core against my panties. It's more embarrassing to walk in this state, especially since my legs are still shaking from the combined anticipation, embarrassment and lust.Oh Jesus! I can't believe this is happening to us."W-We'll just be in the living area." I heard Rogue's parents' footsteps.I bit my lips again as I looked at Rogue. His neck and face was red and his teeth were gritted."
