Brianna's POVI was watching her intently. Mom is washing the dishes. She insisted on doing that even when I fiercely refused. Rogue offered help too but she just smiled and declined.I'm sitting on the dining chair with crossed legs and arms. From my spot, I can clearly see Rogue and Brent talking in the living area. The little girl, which I learned the name was Essy is with them, she's watching the television and she looked very amazed. So innocent. Meanwhile, Diane is currently in the guestroom."Do you mind if I ask something?"I was disturbed by mom, settling on the chair next to me.She smiled. "Is he…your boyfriend?"Slowly, I nodded but I didn't speak. I stared at her for God knows how long until she spoke again."He's kind and patient. I-I know I don't have the right to say this but I like him for you."I pressed my lips together and shifted my gaze to Rogue. He's now laughing while talking to Brent. Unconsciously, my lips stretched into a smile. His smile is so beautiful and
Brianna's POV"There were matches near the house and the authorities wanted to talk to the owner of the house."My forehead creased as I stared at Levi. "For what?""One of the witnesses said she saw the daughter of the owner throw the match."I gritted my teeth. "So, you're saying the fire was intentional and Diane did it?""Yes, Miss Bree."I massaged my forehead and rested my back on the swivel chair. Diane is in the mall now. Brent called me using the landline from my condo and told me that Diane left.I groaned and looked at the ceiling the same time Rogue entered my office. He was carrying a paper bag in his left hand but he paused after he saw Levi."Am I interrupting something important?"I shook my head and signaled him to come. "No, it's okay. What's for lunch?"He smiled. "I bought steak for us.""Hmm… Sounds delicious.""I'll go ahead now, Miss Bree. Do you have anything you want me to do?"I shook my head. "I'll handle this, Levi.""Okay, Miss Bree. The officer in-charge
Brianna's POV"Where are you going?" Rogue asked with a creased forehead.I chewed my bottom lip and glanced at the food before answering. "Kate needs me."He sighed and pulled himself up. "Let me drive for you—""It's okay. You haven't eaten.""So you are. Let's go.""Rogue, just stay here. You're tired, I know."He stared at me for a few seconds. I can see annoyance flickering in his eyes. He clenched his jaws as his eyes darkly stared into mine."I'm going with you, Brianna."The door suddenly swung open and it revealed Kate. She entered and froze after she realized I'm not alone."Kate!"She pressed her lips together and walked towards me. I held her arm. "Are you okay?"She nodded as she looked me in the eyes and whispered… "H-Hugo found my pt."My eyes widened in shock. "What?"I glanced at Rogue and mom before I pulled Kate to sit. "Sit here. Have you eaten?"She shook her head so I nodded and gave her a plate. "Let's eat."I reached for Rogue's hand and pulled him to sit besid
Brianna’s POVAfter going to the police station, I went straight to the mall to buy something. I went inside a toy store and chose an average size. I’d like to pick the biggest but Essy might not be able to carry it.“Is it for your daughter, ma’am?”I just smiled at her because I saw a toy car. I grabbed it and checked it. For Brent, I guess?I noticed a toy pick up truck and I smiled unconsciously. I remember the day I saw Rogue riding an old pick up truck. He told me the story about the pickup and now I understand why he treasures that car so much.“I’ll buy these.” I handed the doll and toy car to the saleslady.While I was waiting for her to come back, I checked the other items. I didn’t know I’d enjoy looking at the toys in this store. Never in my life have I imagined this. I didn’t even enjoy my childhood.“Here, ma’am.”I smiled and accepted the paper bags. I handed her my card. “Here.”“Just a moment, ma’am.”I nodded and roamed my eyes again. After getting my card back, I le
Brianna’s POVRogue faced me and cupped my cheeks. He looked into my eyes worriedly. “Don’t listen to him. I love you genuinely, Brianna.”I stared at him blankly. I love him too, but if he’s just gonna hurt me, I won’t stay with him. After everything that happened to me, I’ve learned my worth. I won’t settle for less. To hell with my love if it will ruin me again.“Bree…”“Come to think of it, I don’t know much about you,” I said and smiled bitterly.“Brianna…”“I’m going home now, Rogue. I brought my own car so let’s just convoy if you want to go to my condo.”He took a deep breath and nodded. He let go of my face and clenched his jaws as he pushed his hands inside the pocket of his pants. He watched me intently and I just looked at him blankly. I suddenly lost my energy.“Okay,” he whispered huskily. “I’ll just follow your car.”I nodded and started walking away. I felt something suffocating me inside as I walked away from him. I can live without him but I can’t promise I’ll be hap
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
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."
