Brianna’s POVI drank my last shot and turned to my only friend Kate. She shot an eyebrow up after I grabbed my bag and looked at her, planning to leave. Annoyed, she glanced at her wristwatch.“C’mon, Bree! It’s still early.”I shook my head. “I need to go home. Cain is probably waiting for me.”She laughed sarcastically. “He doesn’t even care about you. Why are you even staying in this shit marriage of yours?”Her words stung me like a pin, even though I knew she didn't mean to do that. It’s been three years since I married Cain Hamilton, but he never showed his love to me. Kate saw it all.Pressing down the sourness inside, I stared at her. “You know that, Kate. I just love him.”She sighed and took my hands. "Is this really worth it, Bree?"I could see the full worry in her eyes, I knew my marriage didn't have a good start. But in all these years, I had only ever loved Cain Hamilton.Though he’s always cold to me, I agreed to marry him without hesitation when he was in the darkest
Brianna’s POVI flinched when I felt the cold air kissing my cheeks. My body even feels cold and seems wet.Slowly, I opened my eyes and a calm sky welcomed me.What…Aren't I dead? Being pushed down the stairs by my heartless husband, I bled to death.I still remember how horrible it was. The vitality of life slipped away from your body little by little and what you can feel was only weakness, coldness, and fear.I remembered I had asked Cain for help but what he left for me was just his cold eyes. He didn't feel guilty at all, he was even waiting for my death.As if he had been waiting for that moment long.I should have guessed that. As soon as I die, he will have access to all my possessions, in the capacity of my husband.That's what he married me for.I thought angrily as I caressed my head to feel the evidence he murdered me but there was no wound and what I felt in my hand was my wet hair, which seemed to be caused by water instead of blood.What happened?!!!I looked down to
Brianna’s POVI was standing in front of the calendar in my room. It says May 2021 and now I'm certain I'm not dreaming.I really traveled back to the past.I don't know how this happened but I plan to use this advantage to make things right. I'm not gonna be a slave to him anymore.I am a successful woman and not anyone's slave. Not anymore.After this day, my married life will completely change. One week before this incident, I remember Cain forcing me to leave my grandfather's company.That was my second-worst mistake. The worst mistake was my insistence on marrying him.Fortunately, it's not too late now.I tilted my head and faced my closet. I grabbed my luggage and started putting my clothes and other things inside. I had a total of five suitcases when I finished.I went out of my room and paused in front of the stairs. This is where I fell. This is where I'll start to change my fate."M-Ma'am?"I looked at the maids. Cain will fire them two days from now and will make me do all
Brianna’s POV“Miss Quinn!” My assistant Levi was shocked after he saw me entering the company. The other employees are also watching me with widened eyes.“Miss Quinn, are you finally back? But it has not been long since you…” Levi trailed his words as he stared at me.I smiled at him and started walking towards the elevator. I can feel him behind me.“Brief me about the situation of the company, Levi.”We entered the elevator. He cleared his throat. “The new condominium project was on hold, Miss Quinn since the fund is short. And uh…the sales of the units are dropping low.”I swallowed hard. This is the consequence of my stupidity.“What about the collaboration proposal to the RYD Estate? I thought they’re the top real estate company?”He scratched his neck. “The thing is… The acting Vice CEO did not approve the proposal letter, Miss Quinn.”I massaged my temple and heaved a sigh. The collaboration proposal was my idea. Before I filed a leave, I told Levi to assign some employees to
Brianna’s POV"Cheating? Really, Cain? Coming from your own mouth?"He clenched his jaws and his eyes sharpened even more. He's tongue-tied now. I can't believe he's accusing me of the things he's doing.“There’s no other reason why you’re doing this, Brianna. It’s either you want to have another man or you really have another man.”I smirked. “Think, Cain. Think until you lose your mind.”I pulled my arm back and went to my car. He was so shocked by my fierce attitude that he couldn't follow me. I cursed him numerous times in my head. His ego just couldn’t accept that I want out of this marriage, huh?It's just a start, Cain.All the things you owed me I will take them back soon. You’d better get used to failure.I just shook my head at his furious look in the rearview mirror and drove the car. I'm already on the national road when a limousine violently took over and blocked me.My eyes widened in fraction. I almost hit the car. And I definitely know who owns that freaking limousine.
Brianna's POV“You did? Are you serious, Bree? Or you’re just pranking me?”I smirked at Kate. “You think I’m joking? I’m serious, Kate. I’m divorcing him.”Kate laughed so hard that the other people in the Eros, a nightclub where we were drinking, turned in our direction. I laughed and dragged the glass of Bloody Mary to my lips and sipped on it.Kate laughed again and clapped her hands while shaking her head. “God! This calls for a celebration, Bree!”“Reason I brought you here,” I said and winked.“Then let’s dance!” Kate grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the dancefloor.My eyes were silently moist when Kate held my hands. On the night I died, we also met at this bar. If God had not given me this second chance, I would never see Kate again.I shudder to think how much she would have blamed herself when she learned of my death. I know she would have fought Cain to the death, but anger and guilt can also consume my best friend. I don't want that to happen.Luckily, I'm back. I have
Brianna’s POVI was in awe. I couldn’t breathe properly. The man in front of me is so tall, even taller than Cain who’s already 6 feet tall. The man’s shoulders were broad. His muscles were bulging inside the sleeves of his white button-down polo. His uh…butt is protruded and sexy and damn! He smells so nice. But…who is he?I swallowed hard and glanced at Cain. His expression was dark and his jaws were clenched but it’s slowly fading. For some reason, he looked afraid and…offended?“Hurting a woman? Are you gay?”My lips parted. Even this man’s voice is freaking sexy. Fck! Get a grip of your sanity, Bree! He’s a man and he’s also an asshole.“Who are you? Why are you meddling with our business?” Cain, who seemed to have already recovered, growled.The man moved to the side, revealing his side profile which made my jaws drop. His eyelashes were thick and curled. His pointed nose is proud. His lips are so red and wet and his eyes are dark, expressive and hooded.I flinched when he slowl
Brianna's POVI can barely stand his stares. He was too handsome and intense that I felt the tension in my heart as we stayed in the same private room.My heart was hammering inside my chest. I can still feel his hand on mine and his lips on mine. The warm feeling of his touch and the electrifying sensations I felt when he kissed back. God! I couldn't remember the time I felt that way. Or that's really a first."Sit down," he urged and walked towards the couch.I roamed my eyes. This is a VIP room, and he comfortably roams around as if he's very familiar with this place.Speechless, I followed him and sat on the couch across from him. The corner of his lips rose as he watched me sit on the place far from him. He cocked an eyebrow up and crossed his legs.I wonder why he interfered with my business, but I'm glad he did. I was able to get away from Cain and his disrespectful friends. Not that I can't handle myself. I just can't stand them."I'm not being nosy, but may I know what happen
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."
