Brianna’s POV“Good morning, Miss Bree.”I looked at Levi. “Is Uncle Aiden here yet?”He shook his head. “He hasn’t shown himself, Miss Bree.”I balled my fists. “Call the head of my security. Tell them to find Unce Aiden as soon as possible or I’ll fire all of them.”Levi looked shocked with my attitude but I don’t have time to pay attention to him. It’s been three days since I broke up with Rogue and for the past three days, I always find myself waking up in the middle of the night just to cry the pain. I feel helpless.I went straight to the conference room to meet the shareholders. My eyes coldy roamed around the room and I saw Rogue sitting on his usual chair, playing with his phone on the table.My heart raced and before he caught my stares, I quickly averted my gaze and stood in front of them. I lifted my chin.“So, what are we going to talk about today, Miss Quinn? Did you finally find a solution to this problem? It’s all your uncle’s fault, so you better find a solution to th
Rogue’s POVShe broke up with me and it hurts so much, I can’t accept it. I just can’t. She gave me a chance I thought that was it. I did everything to make her feel loved. I gave everything I can offer. I tried to be patient even when I’m eager to own her and make her mine wholly. I’ve waited for so long. I patiently waited even when there’s no assurance at all. I thought I finally found my chance, but she doesn’t trust my love.What did I do that we ended up this way? I didn't do anything. I just saw her being so intimate with her ex-husband. It's my right to get jealous, right? She's my girlfriend. It's natural for me to get jealous.But damn! It was one wrong move.I regret walking away from her. I should’ve suppressed my anger and jealousy. I shouldn’t have walked away from her, now she broke up with me. It hurts so much. So damn much and I think I’ll die of pain.“Adams!”I looked at my mom who welcomed me after I entered the house. I went home right after Brianna broke up with
Brianna's POVI planned to leave early in the morning the next day so I won't see Rogue. It will be very awkward, but I was shocked when I woke up with a blanket on my bodyI slowly sat on the couch. I slept here last night because I let Rogue take the bed. I was even more shocked after I saw breakfast on the dining table.My heart skipped a beat. I ran to the bedroom, thinking Rogue is still here but he's not.I felt disappointed but why? And I don't have the right to expect that he's still here. I broke up with him.I chewed my bottom lip and went back to the kitchen. I suddenly felt alive when I saw a note beside the food.'Eat. Sorry for coming here last night.'That was it. The letter felt so cold and empty. I felt his anger. I sighed and swallowed hard.I looked at the food and then slowly sat on the chair. I started eating in silence and I don't know why I felt tears suddenly streamed down my face.I laughed and wiped my cheeks. Before I met Rogue, I was used to eating alone. I
Brianna's POVI gritted my teeth as I walked back. I can't believe Uncle Aiden run away like that like a criminal. But his words got stuck in my mind.He didn't do anything. I know him. Uncle Aiden is greedy and impulsive. He doesn't have balls to face the consequences of his actions. He's a coward but he's not the type of person who will lie about something this serious.I sighed as I shook my head and continued walking. If only I can abandon him and put the blame on him just like what he's accusing, everything would be fine now."Oh hi, Miss beautiful."I stopped when three men blocked my way. I am brave, but the people in front of me looked evil. I am no match to them.Their eyes were reddish as they all looked at me like I'm their prey. I took a step back but I know I'd be trapped if I continued taking steps backwards."W-What do you want?" I asked, scared.Who wouldn't? These people are obviously high on drugs.One of them chuckled. "Coming here is the right choice. We found a be
Brianna's POVI feel tense and uncomfortable inside Rogue's car. I shouldn't have agreed. I could just say no. He won't force me anyway but I just found myself entering his car on my own will. It's as if he has full control over my system and he can easily tell me what I should do."You don't really have to do this. I can just eat alone."He gritted his teeth as he continued driving. I chewed my bottom lip and heaved a sigh."Look, eating instant noodles for dinner is not a sin—""I didn't say it's sin, Brianna."I sucked my breath. "Then, I can just have it for dinner.""You're gonna eat a healthy dinner. In a restaurant."My forehead creased. "What's wrong with eating instant noodles in a convenience store?"He sighed. "I didn't say it's wrong.""Then why are you bringing me to a restaurant?""To eat, I said.""But I can eat in a restaurant on my own. Fine! I'll have a proper dinner, but bring me back to my car. I'll go to a restaurant on my own.""Too late, we're almost here.""But
Brianna’s POVHis words were like a broken CD, constantly ringing in my heart but couldn’t be processed. He was just looking at me as if waiting for my reaction but I don’t know what to say. I can’t even find the words to say. I became incapable of thinking rationally as I stared at his eyes full of emotions.“You made me realize my shortcomings, Brianna. When I met you, I had so many insecurities. I got so scared especially with the fact that you can stand on your own and you don’t need me. You can live without me while I can’t live without you. I’d be a wreck, Bree. My life would be a waste, meaningless and lonely…”It’s so hard to hear those words from him. I couldn’t stand the intensity of his stares. I looked away as my heart clenched in pain.“My life was meaningless before you, Brianna. And this is the first time I ever had a serious relationship. So if I failed to meet your expectations, then I’m sorry. I’m sorry because this is how I perceived what it would be like being in a
Brianna’s POV“To me it seems like he’s fond of you.”From the closed door, my eyes slowly turned to my grandfather. I smiled awkwardly at him. “It’s not like that, Papa.”He smirked. “He invested in the company.”“He saw the potential.”“He could have done that before I gave you my position.”Ismiled. “The company was falling when I got the position.”He sighed and nodded, finally accepting my reasons. “That’s reasonable. By the way, I haven’t seen your Uncle. Where is he? Is he disappointed that I’m still alive?”My forehead creased. “What do you mean, Papa?”He laughed. “Don’t take that the wrong way. Your uncle is dumb, naive, greedy and impulsive but he won’t kill me. I know him. He’s my son.”I sighed and looked down. “Papa, uncle ran away.”His forehead creased. “He ran away? Why? I mean…is there a reason to?”“I don’t know anymore, Papa. He insisted on continuing the construction of his project and it seems like the budget for the materials has been corrupted. The materials tu
Brianna's POV"Can I have a minute?"I stopped on my tracks and slowly turned to the person who spoke. I just got out of my car after parking it in the basement parking of my condo tower when I heard that familiar voice.My heart raced. It's just his voice but my heart reacted like crazy. I tried to suppress my emotions. I shouldn't give him a single idea of how I truly felt for him.My forehead creased. Yesterday, I did everything to avoid him because I'm really pissed. I didn't bother congratulating him on his graduation last night and somehow, it made me feel guilty."Will that minute be enough for all the things you want to explain?"He scratched his eyebrow. "I don't know what to explain."I gasped violently. Not because of his answer but because of my stupidity. Right! Why would he even explain when there's nothing to explain? It's not like I've seen him kissing another woman. And we broke up already."Look, I'm sorry if I offended you or what but you're really confusing me, Bri
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."
