Brianna’s POV“That was you and you didn’t say anything?” I said full of sarcasm and anger.He swallowed hard. “You lost your memories and I don’t want to make you remember that tragic past. I’m also worried it might affect you…”I shook my head. “That’s not enough reason to hide the truth from me, Rogue. Everyone made me believe that the man I had an accident with is Cain. I feel betrayed!”“I’m sorry…”“And now what? You want to get even with me so you made me fall for you—”“That’s not true!” He groaned painfully and shook his head. “Babe, I will never do that to you.”“Y-You said you were crippled for almost two years and from what I remembered, I was the one driving when the accident happened. Rogue, I was the reason you suffered. Don’t tell me you’re not mad about what happened.”“Of course, I was,” he said and clenched his jaws. His eyes darkened as he fought my stares. “I was so angry, so mad, Bree. But I was angry because I failed to protect you that night. I was angry becaus
Brianna’s POVI heaved a sigh of relief after the doctor assured me that mom just passed out due to exhaustion and not her condition. She has lung cancer and the doctor recommended that she undergo chemotherapy and radiation therapy. I haven't talked to her about her sickness. She doesn’t even have any idea that Diane told me about her condition.“You have to decide, Miss Quinn. Her condition is not that bad yet. So, having these therapies will help her recover.”I nodded. “I’ll talk to her, doctor.”I went to my mom's hospital room after that. Diane was inside, looking at her own fingers.“Go home,” I said coldly as I walked towards her and sat beside her. “Essy and Brent are alone in the house.”She lifted her face and looked at me. “Are you gonna kick me out of your house?”I sighed lazily. “What do you think of me, Diane? And you’re already 21 years old. Stop acting like a child.”She pulled herself up and looked at me with tears pooling in the corner of her eyes. “Don’t tell me w
Brianna’s POV“Rogue…” I called out his name with a very low and hoarse voice.I wanna marry him. I want to be married to him too but I’m not ready yet. I feel like there’s something I’m missing and I want to find out about that first.He smiled and kissed the back of my hand. “I know, babe. I know you’re not ready yet…”“But I’m sure about you. About marrying you,” I whispered and caressed his cheek.He nodded and looked at me with admiration in his eyes. “I know, babe.”He pulled himself up and squeezed my hand. “Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”I nodded and followed him to the couch. I smiled as he started preparing our lunch.“You’re so caring.”He looked at me and chuckled. “What can I say? I wanna be perfect to be perfect for you.”I pinched the bridge of his proud nose. “You are perfect for me, babe.”His smile widened even more. “Oh, damn! That’s the sweetest. Let me hear more please.”I chuckled and shook my head. “I’m hungry, Rogue.”His eyes flickered with naughtiness. “Uh huh? For
Brianna’s POVRogue and I were kissing deeply and hungrily as we entered his unit. After our dinner, he invited me to his condo and I know we’ll end up doing it tonight.His fingers traced my back up to the strap of my sleeveless top. My coat was already on the floor together with our shoes and his polo.“Hmm!” I groaned against his lips as he pushed his tongue inside my mouth and searched for my tongue. I felt the heat inside me intensified.His lips trailed my jaws and neck as I bit my lower lip hard, suppressing my moans. Rogue’s hand went inside my skirt, pushing my panties to the side and caressing me bare. His warm finger immediately got soaked with my wetness. My toes curled as he teased my entrance, earning a lewd moan from my lips.“Rogue…” I groaned when he started going down and down until he’s already kneeling. He pushed me against the closed door and lifted my skirt.“Oh!” I screamed erotically when he kissed me down there after pulling my panties down. He just rolled it
Brianna's POVMy eyes slowly bore at Rogue. He rushed to me and pulled me behind him. He towered his mom in a very intimidating stance."What are you doing, mom?" His voice roared like thunder."You're seriously defending that woman, Adams?""Of course, I'll defend her. She's my girlfriend, mom.""Girlfriend?" Mrs. Ryder laughed mockingly. "Are you out of your mind? A divorced woman, really? Have some shame, Adams. What would people say if you married this woman? Don't you really care about our business—""If I don't care, I'm outta there flying a plane. Can't you give me this chance to choose my happiness, mom?"Mrs. Ryder gasped. "See? You've changed, Adams! That woman changed you—""No, mom! This is me. This is the real me. She brings out the best in me. She brings out the real me. Stop controlling my life, mom, please! I'm an adult. I'm no longer a kid. Let me go!"I took a courage to look at Mrs. Ryder when she fell in a deafening silence. I gasped and my heart clenched when I sa
Brianna's POV[I'm okay, Bree. Thank you so much for worrying.]I nodded and sighed. "Okay. I'm glad. Hugo went here this morning looking for you. I told him I don't know where you are."[Thank you, Bree. I owe you big time.]I smiled a little and looked at the folder on my table. "Hmm. Just tell me if you need anything. I'm more than willing to help."After the short conversation, I ended the call and rested my back on the swivel chair. I've been avoiding Rogue for three days. I'm keeping myself busy with my work and family. Brent is going back to school. While I'm trying to force Diane to go back to school too. She's rebelling again. She only wants money and I definitely don't understand her.Someone knocked on my door and I flinched when I saw Rogue enter. His eyes were directed to me as if he already expected me to be here. My heart immediately raced as soon as our eyes met. There was darkness clouding his gaze. He looked like he’s about to burst out and he’s just restraining hims
Brianna’s POVI was standing by the terrace of Rogue’s bedroom. I’m staring at the rising sun and I couldn’t help but to tear up. My heart is clenchingSunrise. They say it’s a new beginning. Sunrise is the sign of hope and for me, sunrise is not like that because today, I’m leaving my hope. Today, I’ll end the happiness I found.It hurts. If it’s just me I won’t sacrifice my love for him. As I've said, I deserve him. So I want him for myself but guess what…it’s not even close to possible now.A few moments later, a pair of warm arms wrapped around my waist. A pair of big hands locked against my stomach. I squeezed my eyes closed as I felt his warmth behind me.“I know what you’re thinking…” he whispered with a hoarse voice.I smiled bitterly and faced him. I stared into his eyes and caressed his cheek. “Rogue, it’s not the time for us.”“When will it be, Bree? I can no longer wait. I can’t function well without you.”I can see that he’s also having a hard time. We both are but we hav
Brianna's POV"Miss Bree, the meeting will start in 5 minutes."I blinked thrice and looked at Levi. I failed to understand what he said because I'm spacing out again. It's been three days since I broke up with Rogue. He didn't talk to me again. He was always around but he's not approaching me. I don't know if I should be glad about that or I should be worried."What is it again, Levi?" I asked."Your meeting, Miss Bree. It's about to start."My lips parted. "Oh! Okay."I sighed and pulled myself up. I lifted my chin and walked towards the meeting room confidently.Everyone stood up to greet me when I entered but a certain man remained on his seat, playing with his fingers on the table.I swallowed hard as my heart raced. Rogue's eyes never went to me but his presence makes my heart feel suffocated.The meeting started while my mind was wandering to another dimension. In my mind, I'm reminiscing the memories I've shared with Rogue Adams. Our situation hurts me so damn much but I could
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.

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."
