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
Brianna’s POVI was frozen in my place as Rogue walked away, leaving me alone inside my office. I couldn't stop my tears anymore. The pain in my heart is unbearable. I couldn’t take it. I couldn't endure it. I want to follow him, tell him that I didn’t mean everything I said. I want to take him back. I don’t want him to find another woman. I don’t want him to marry anyone that’s not me. I want to be the only one but…I flinched when my phone rang. My forehead creased after I saw the name of Papa’s private nurse. Worried, I immediately answered the call.“Hello?”[Miss Bree, your grandpa was rushed to the hospital–]“WHAT?” I pulled myself up.[I-I’m sorry, Miss Bree. I just left him with Sir Aiden but when I came back he’s already unconscious and alone.]I squeezed my eyes closed. “How is he?”[The doctor said he’s now okay, Miss Bree. But he wants to talk to you.]I groaned and grabbed my bag before I rushed out of my office. I looked at Levi and he immediately nodded as if he knew I
Brianna's POVI was working overtime when I received a call from an unknown number. At first I rejected it, thinking it was Cain. But the caller was very persistent and my phone won't just stop vibrating.I grabbed the vibrating object and was already planning to block the number when the call ringing ended followed by a message.'Miss Quinn, this is Leon. I hope you still remember me but that isn't really my concern. Can you come over to Rogue's condo? He's badly hurt and he doesn't wanna go to the hospital.'I immediately pulled myself up as my heart raced in worry. I immediately dialed the unknown number and it was answered immediately."Hello, Leon?"[Miss Quinn! Finally!] He even laughed as if he's very happy.Taking a deep sigh, I spoke. "How's Rogue Adams? What happened?"[Well…he was drunk early this morning and when I found him, he's badly hurt. The old woman who found him said a group of thugs beat him up.]I gritted my teeth and grabbed my bag. "What was he doing in a bar?"
Brianna's POV"Bree… Bree, wait… Please, babe…"I groaned and faced Rogue. He pulled his hand back and looked down. His breath smells like cigarettes and alcohol. His eyes were hooded and reddish. It looks like he's already so tired and sleepy but he won't just bother taking a nap."I'm sorry…" He whispered.I shook my head. "You can't just do this to yourself because of me. Rogue, you're making me feel even more bad."He sighed and nodded painfully. "Yes, I realized it now and I'm really sorry. I'm so sorry."I nodded and was about to leave when he held my hand and slowly intertwined our fingers. He was looking into my eyes as he did that as if trying to figure out if I'd get mad or what.My lips parted after our palms clasped. My heart started racing and my breath entangled.His effect on me is still the same. He can make my heart race. He can make me feel breathless. He can turn my world upside down.How can this wrong love feel so right? Or is this really the right love at a very
Brianna's POV"Investor?" I asked as my forehead creased.Levi looked away and sighed. "I was on my way to meet the investor but he already came and introduced himself as the new investor."I gritted my teeth. "The investment will never happen, Levi."He nodded. "I have already set you a meeting with Mr. Hamilton and the other board members, Miss Bree. I scheduled the meeting tomorrow."I shook my head. "No, Levi. Move the schedule now.""Okay, Miss Bree."I glared at Cain when he saw me and attempted to approach me. He paused and stared at me before he continued walking towards me."Brianna—""Let's talk in the meeting room, Mr. Hamilton."His forehead creased. "Brianna—""It's Miss Quinn, Mr. Hamilton."His eyes sharpened and he clenched his jaws. "Let's talk, Brianna. I know you broke up with him because I asked you to come back to me—""Are you serious?" I laughed at him. "Don't be so full of yourself, Mr. Hamilton. I don't have feelings for you. No more.""But…""Let's just talk
Brianna's POVI was glaring at Diane who's lying on the hospital bed. Her left leg was hurt and she has bruises on her face and arms. I'd say she deserves it for sneaking ang driving my car but that might be cruel."You could've died, Diane! Why did you do that?"Diane rolled her eyes at mom. She's scolding her while I'm just standing by the door frame with arms crossed, listening to them."Mom, I was just trying to live a life! Come on!""You don't know how to drive, Diane! And you even stole your sister's car! Now what would you do? It's a total wreck!""Bree can have it fixed. She's rich anyway.""Diane!"I took a deep sigh and walked towards her hospital bed. Diane looked at me and rolled her eyes. I'd love to take those eyes off of her. It's irritating!"You made a mess again, Diane," I snapped at her with an icy tone.She sighed. "And?""Diane!"I lifted my chin. "You have to get my car fixed.""Easy as pie!" She laughed. "Give me your card.""No," I said and shot an eyebrow up.
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."
