Brianna's POVUncle Aiden called again that night. He sounded very happy after he sensed irritation and anger in my voice.We can't do anything. If we try to trace him through his calls, he might find out about it. Especially that Cain might be his accomplice. They have resources and we can't ignore Cain's connections.Damn it! I can't believe Uncle Aiden managed to outsmart me this time.[Come on, Brianna. Don't be too stressed out. Wait, are you with Rogue Ryder right now?]I gritted my teeth. "No."[Good! Good! That's a good start, my niece. Ignore him.]I sucked my breath and squeezed Rogue's hand as I spoke again. "How can you guarantee that you'll let them go once I give you what you want?"[So smart! Start with breaking up with Rogue Ryder, Brianna. I want it done publicly.]My forehead creased. "What?"[Invite him to a crowded place. Let's say, in a mall and then break up with him. I want it all over the internet as soon as possible, Briana. Humiliate him. Anger him. Make him
Brianna's POVI was walking towards my office when Rogue blocked my way. I paused and my heart raced as I met his eyes looking at me with confusion and anger."Why are you avoiding me?" His voice sounded so cold and angry.I sucked my breath and roamed my eyes around. We have agreed to pretend starting today and it's affecting me so much.My employees looked at us worriedly. Of course! They knew my relationship with Rogue. It's not a secret in the office and seeing us like this shocked them.In the corner, I saw Cain looking at us."Brianna, answer me!" Rogue's voice mirrored his confusion and frustration. I looked at him again."I have work to do."He shook his head and laughed sarcastically. "I am also busy but I'm making time with you—""Can you stop being so possessive?"His jaw dropped. "What?"I swallowed hard. This is hurting me. I shook my head and massaged my temple."I have a meeting to attend to, Mr. Ryder.""Mr. Ryder…" he echoed and hissed. "What the fck is wrong with you
Brianna's POVI was wearing pants and shirt as I readied myself to meet Uncle Aiden today. He promised me that he'll release Hugo, Kate and Diane."You have to be aware of your surroundings, Miss Bree. He might be planning something against you."I nodded at Leon. "Okay."Rogue held my hands and squeezed them. "You have to be strong, babe. Whatever happens, I'll be one step behind."I took a deep breath. "I'm scared, Rogue. What if…""No! Take care of yourself and our baby. Please, no matter what happens, keep yourself safe. I'd die if something bad happens to you and our baby."I chewed my bottom lip and slowly nodded."You have to promise me, Brianna," his voice was hoarse as if this decision was so hard for him.I stared into his worried eyes. It was full of love, admiration, worry and gentleness. This man brought my faith back. This man colored my dull life. He gave me reason to love. He gave me a chance to make myself better."I promise," I whispered and caressed his chest. I cou
Rogue's POVShe jumped into the water recklessly and fearlessly. I called her name desperately but she didn't care. She didn't hear me. She forgot what we talked about. She forgot she agreed on keeping herself safe first. It was so dangerous. But I couldn't blamer. It was her best friend and her sister. She's a kind woman and I love everything about her. Even her impulsiveness.I kept on pushing and shooting everyone who got in my way as I ran towards the woman I love. She disappeared in the water with her sister and best friend. She's trying to save them while I'm struggling to save her because her uncle's men keep on delaying my rescue.I was pinned on the ground by a huge man, stopping me from running."Fck you!" I cursed and shot him between his eyes before I pulled myself up and ran again.I jumped into the water mindlessly. I can only think of Brianna and our baby.It was so dark and it's not easy for me to find her. I'm scared. I was never this scared in my entire life. I was a
Brianna's POVMy head hurt so much as I slowly opened my eyes. A white ceiling welcomed me. I roamed my eyes around. No one's here. I'm alone but I know this is a hospital.I swallowed hard. My throat is aching and dry.I saw bottled water on the bedside table. I feel so thirsty. I tried to lift my arm to reach the bottle but my body felt so numb. My back hurts too.What happened?I cleared my throat and licked my dried lips as I tried to recall what happened.Right! On the abandoned fish port. Hugo, Kate and Diane!No! What happened to them? Are they okay? I remember jumping into the water to save them but they were too heavy. I couldn't lift them up.I slowly pulled myself up and my heart almost jumped out of my ribcage after I saw my reflection in the glass window.My hands trembled as I touched my hair. No! My hair wasn't this long when I jumped into the water!My baby! I immediately caressed my stomach. It's still flat as I recall but it felt empty. I feel like I've lost my breat
Brianna’s POVI managed to escape from Cain’s guards. All thanks to Levi who didn’t abandon me. We’re riding his car as he drives and I sat on the shotgun seat patiently. I can’t wait to see Rogue Adams. I was having a mental argument inside my head whether I should tell Rogue about what happened or just find a way to go back when Levi’s car abruptly stopped.I hit my forehead on the dashboard and Levi immediately panicked. “Miss Bree!”I groaned and looked in front of us. My eyes widened when I saw an old woman looking at me through the windshield. She looked older than the last time I saw her but I’m certain it was her!I quickly opened the door beside me, completely ignoring Levi who’s calling my name worriedly.“Grandma—”She pushed my shoulder angrily. “You shouldn’t have come back! You are ruining God's will.”I shook my head as I looked at her worriedly. “I-I just woke up here—”“Cut all your ties with the people in the present. You can’t live in two different times. You are so
Brianna's POV"Rogue…" I slightly pushed him away to look at his face. He stared at me with tears in the corner of his eyes.It breaks my heart to see his tears, so I slowly lifted my arm and wiped his tears with my thumb."Don't cry," I whispered with a hoarse voice.He sniffed and buried his face in my neck again. He hugged me as if his life depended on me. His warmth feels so comfortable. In his arms I feel so safe.I remembered what happened before I woke up. Did that really happen or I was just dreaming the whole time? I felt surreal, though."Y-Your…Your heartbeat stopped," he paused and sucked his breath. His hug even tightened. "I thought I'd lose you."I lifted my chin and that's when I realized there are doctors around us. They are now checking me in spite of Rogue hugging me so tight."She's normal, Mr. Ryder. And the baby is safe."My heart raced as I caressed my stomach. Right! Our baby is one of the reasons why I want to go back here. And my baby's daddy actually saved m
Brianna’s POVRogue showered me kisses as we entered his bedroom in this condo. I stayed in the hospital for a week. After I got discharged, he brought me here. He even prepared a simple homemade lunch which touched my heart. He’s so cautious as he pulls me to sit on the chair. It made me chuckle.“Are you comfortable?”I laughed at him. “Sit down and relax, Mr. Ryder. I’m fine.”He sighed. “You just got discharged. I’m worried about your body.”I smirked. “I’m strong, remember. And this little angel here is strong too.”He glanced at my flat stomach as a smile crept on his lips. “Yeah. I figured.”I smirked again and examined the food. “You cooked all of these?”“Hmm! To impress my babies.”I felt my cheeks heated. His words never missed my heart. He always affects me in any possible way he can. He’s just so caring and affectionate towards me and it’s one of the things I like about him.We started eating in silence. I love his cooking so I was silent the whole time while enjoying the
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.

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."
