Brianna’s POVI gasped when I saw the person who just entered. It was the man I needed to clear my name today. My bodyguard was behind him and even when they’re blocking the person who entered last, I recognized him. Rogue was behind them. He slipped himself between Levi and my other bodyguard. He did that simply and casually that no one noticed him but me. When our eyes met, he gave me a reassuring smile and nodded at me.My bodyguards dragged the man in front of the reporters and made him face me. I lifted my chin and stared at him.He looked away. I gritted my teeth and faced the reporters. “This man will tell you everything that happened behind the scandal.”I looked at him coldly. He looked so scared when he glanced at Rogue’s direction. I knew it. Rogue was the one who caught him and brought him back.“I-It was all Amber O’Connor’s plan. Her friends paid me to abduct Miss Quinn and bring her to the abandoned construction site of a hotel in a remote location…”I sucked my breath
Brianna’s POVRogue invited me to dinner but I refused. I know I owe him one dinner but I’m not really in the mood today. Cain confuses me plus I just had a long day with the reporters. I want to take a long rest.“Drive safely, Bree. Goodnight,” Rogue said while smiling after he closed the door of my car.I nodded and smiled at him. “Thanks, Rogue. We’ll have dinner some other time. I’m really sorry.”“No problem. I understand.”I nodded again and started the engine. He waved at me as I drove away until he disappeared from my sight. I felt so exhausted again when I got home. I was staring at the ceiling as I caressed my lips, remembering the intense kiss I shared with Rogue when my phone vibrated. A smile crept on my lips after I received a text message from Rogue, updating me that he’s home.I was about to type my reply when I felt something twitched inside my heart. I want to be with him. I really want to be with him but why does it feel so wrong?In the end, I dropped my phone and
Brianna's POVI ignored Cain and opened the door of my unit. I glanced at him after I entered. He was just staring at me. There was something in his eyes that I couldn't understand. Seeing him drains my energy and changes my mood."What do you want?" I lazily asked and went to the living area. He followed me.I sat on the couch as he walked around and roamed his eyes."Nothing changed here."My forehead creased. "Did you just come here to see my unit?"He faced me and stared into my eyes. "Amber's reputation is ruined."I smirked. "She deserves it."His forehead creased. "Can't you just let this slide? Brianna, Amber has been crying since last night."I rose from my seat and glared at him. "I don't care! Why would I give a damn about her? She paid someone to abduct and drug me, Cain. Can't you see that? Are you blind?""Are you just doing this to get even? Or to get my attention?"I laughed sarcastically and shook my head. I can't believe this. He just can't understand my point. And I
Brianna’s POVI read Rogue’s message to me the next morning. It was sent last night, informing me that he got home safe. I got off the bed and prepared for work without replying to Rogue’s messages. I want to think of this through. Something happened between us twice and we made out again after my press conference. I am not naive. I know I’m attracted to him, but I want to secure my heart. I once chose a man over my own freedom and where did it bring me? I don’t wanna get betrayed again. I want to make sure that he really loves me before I take the risk. Because I’m really scared. So scared to fall in love again.I was about to get in my car when someone called my name. I looked at the man who’s running towards me. He stopped almost a meter away and smiled apologetically.“Bree, I’m sorry.”I smiled at him. “No worries, Blaze. It’s nothing.”He sucked his breath and shook his head. “It’s not nothing, Bree. I was desperate to hurt Amber so I could get even with her for dumping me. I’m
Brianna’s POVCain appeared in front of my condo unit again when I got home the next morning. My fever has died down and after making sure that I’m okay, Rogue allowed me to go home alone. He actually offered to send me home but I declined. I don’t wanna grow dependent on him. I don’t wanna get used to it.Today, we’ll go visit the site that was chosen for our collaboration project with AVL Land Incorporated. Rogue is coming with me and since he’s part of the board, I gave him the privilege.“Brianna, we have to talk.”I groaned in annoyance. “Cain, please! I’m busy.”“You have to make time for me, Brianna.”I hissed. “Why would I do that? Do you think you’re that important? Please, if you have nothing to say but the issue about Amber, just leave. I don’t have time to deal with you. I have a lot of things to do.”He took a deep breath and clenched his jaws. I stared at him blankly to let him know that I’m interested in whatever he’s gonna say. He sighed in defeat in the end and turned
Brianna’s POVI was shocked as I stared at Rogue. He was just looking at me with his widened eyes. The old man suddenly became aggressive and he kept on sending Rogue away. His face was red and dark as if he saw his mortal enemy.I swallowed hard and tried to hold the old man’s arm. “Sir…”“And you!”“Ah!” I shrieked when he pushed me away and I fell on the bed of sunflowers. My eyes widened too.“Brianna!” Rogue ran to me, ignoring the old man who attempted to push him away.Rogue gently held my hand and pulled me up as his jaws constantly clenched. He looked pissed. I’m afraid he’ll fight with the old man so I tried stopping him by pulling his arm. He ignored me. Instead, he held my hands and intertwined our fingers. My lips parted as my heart raced because of what he did. He dragged my hand with his hand resting between our thighs. My lips pressed, creating a thin line. That simple gesture affects my whole system.“I’m sorry for disturbing you, sir. But you got the wrong person. Th
Brianna’s POVThe rain started pouring right after we entered the huge mansion of Montez family. I looked at Rogue who was looking at the sky before he slowly turned to me.“I don’t think we can go home tonight.”My lips parted. “We have to go home.”“The road is being repaired.” The man named Connor spoke and motioned to the couch. I smiled and sat on the couch across from him.Two female servants brought us coffee and cookies. I was roaming my eyes around, examining the classical style of the house when Rogue sat beside me. Mr. Albert Montez showed up again carrying a brown envelope.“Here are the final documents. I apologize for taking too long before the final process.”Rogue accepted it and handed it to me. I smiled and accepted it. “Thank you.”“The rain is pouring heavily. We have one guestroom left. You should just stay for tonight.”One guest room? I sucked my breath. I have already slept with Rogue twice but I still feel awkward and embarrassed.“We need to go back to the co
Brianna’s POV“Thank you very much, Mr. and Mrs. Montez, for letting us stay overnight,” I said as I gave them the sweetest of my smile.I was standing beside Rogue while saying goodbye to the hospitable and kind family. I had a good sleep last night… Well, of course after making love with Rogue.“I’m glad you two made up. Last night I feel like you’re not on good terms,” Mrs. Montez said, smiling.Her husband chuckled. “Sorry about that. My wife really loves to play cupid.”I smiled again and looked at Rogue, who’s standing next to me. Our arms touched as I moved and he looked down at me too. His intense eyes are drowning me again into a beautiful fantasy that surely will get engraved in my mind and heart.After the short goodbye, we got in the car and Rogue started driving silently. The transfer of the land has been finalized. I feel sorry for the ruins and the buried memories in there. I feel sorry for the old Montez. But I’ll make sure that even if the old mansion gets removed and
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."
