A month has passed , yet Kendrick hadn’t come back home and had stop answering calls from his mom. He had changed his number so his line remained unreachable.Brie tried each and every day to get by. She tried burying herself in work like how she did when her mom and brother died. But in this case the work load was too much. At first, Kendrick was handling his work though his was MIA but now he had totally abandoned work and his employees. So herself, Syd and Alex were the ones currently running it. Alex’s participation wasn’t much because he also had a business to ran and it wasn’t his obligation. Brie was luckily to have understanding partners and team members on her team, so there was no pressure whatsoever in running her company. “ Here are the files you asked Ma’am” Kendrick’s prompted her.“ That’s Nancy, what’s on our schedule today?” she asked her as Syd walked into the office. “ We have a meeting with the board at 12pm, hopefully it would be virtual, then at 2pm we have a

“ Dad?!” Briella walked into the house pushing her step mother to the side. She was here for her money and there was no way she was leaving without it today. “ Mr Scott-Roberts!” she yelled on top of her voice as her dad descended the staircase to the living room.“ What?!” he angrily asked.“ I am here for my money and I need it now!” " Come back in like a year or two,” he waved his hands dismissively.“ Excuse me? Could you repeat yourself again?” she clenched her fists. “ I invested it in my business and I have to give it two years to grow, now shoo, run along,” he annoyed her the more. Scott could she the smirk on his wife’s face and that was what he had wanted anyway.Truth is her money was still intact at where it was. He just wanted to draw his wife’s attention off it so he could secretly send it to his daughter. If only she could be patient enough. He thought to himself.“ Mom left that for me!

You’d better watch your back!Briella stood infront of her company reading the note that had been spelled with blood. Their company was barely a year and it was doing great, in fact better than most airline companies in Las Vegas and it was drawing attention to them. As much as it was drawing positive vibes, it was also drawing negative ones too. They were making enemies pretty fast.“ Oh my gosh! what happened here?!”Padma exclaimed asking her friend. “ I just got here Padma, I am as confused as you are,” she answered looking around to see if they would find the security somewhere. Briella heard grunts coming from the side of the building and Padma followed closely. Two of their security men had been gunned down and it was probably their blood that was used to issue out that warning. She calmly checked for their pulse to see if they were alive.“ Padma…dial 911,” she heaved a sigh of relieve when she felt their pulse after a few minutes. Padma dialed the number with shaky hands and

“ Could you give me a moment to think?!” she yelled out in frustration. Nexus was asking her for money again and she had no idea where to get the sum of money he was asking for.These were moments when she wished Kendrick was here. He would have signed out a check for her without further questions, but now no one knew where he was at the moment. He wasn’t even taking her calls nor answering her messages.There was no way in hell that she was closing her business to give the money to Nexus. She had to come up with another plan which didn’t include her touching the profit she had made or selling the shop.“ You’d better think fast,” he muttered.“ Excuse you?! What the hell have you been doing with the monies I have been giving to you to invest in the business? What of the hoe you’ve been banging can’t she bring something to the table as well?” Sage asked taking him by surprise.How the hell did she know he was seeing someone else aside from her?“ Hoe? Which hoe?” he played dumb.“ Hah

“ Sir, she’s fine.” the man reported through the phone.“ Good continue to keep an eye on her.” the man replied dropping the call.“ Come to think of it Syd, doesn’t your brother bother about his company?” Briella asked out of the blue. That question had been on her mind for a while and she needed answers to it. It seemed as if he didn’t are about any other thing but himself at that moment.“ Brie, I am as confused as you. I don’t know what’s up his sleeve but…I just don’t know.” she finished.Eventually Syd would leave to start her own life. She wouldn’t always be there to run the business. And what if Briella got fed up and left?“ For once, he should stop being selfish and think of others. I am the victim in this whole shenanigans, but here I am, slaving away for a man who doesn’t care,” she lay on the couch.Brie, Syd and Padma decided to have the day off just to unwind.

“... can I join you?” a man asked behind her. She ignored his question but he sat anyway. Brie wasn't at the club or where Padma had seen her. She had walked a little further from the club drowning the music out.There was a bench a few feet away from a stream and that was where she was seated throwing pebbles into the stream and enjoying the view as well. She was enjoying the silence until she had company.Can't I ever have some alone time just for a few minutes? she wondered.“ Hi, I am Aaron Rodgers, and you?” the man asked again after his initial question was ignored.“ Brie, I'm Brie nice to meet you, Alex,” she answered rising on her feet to take her leave.“ Am I that boring or annoying?” he asked after he noticed she was leaving.Very annoying. She thought but she wasn't going to say that to his face.“ No, but my friends must be worried and looking for me. We came to the club together...I gotta go let them know I am alright,” she explained.“ I could walk you if you don't mind

Briella crumpled the three mid threat note she found on her windshield that morning, after she had taken a shot of them. Why were they hell bent on ruining what she had built? She had never done any wrong to anyone so why did they want to harm her? “ What do they want from us and who the hell left this here?” Padma asked her friend. Both of them were traveling to LA for a business meeting. “ Honestly Padma, I don’t know who did and what they want from me.” she said dragging her luggage behind her. She didn’t want to talk about it but deep down, she was bothered.Who were these guys and what do they want?~“ No, you listen to me Kendrick. It’s time to come home. I don’t give a hoot if your assigned guards to her. She’s your wife and needs your support. Heck! She’s even done better with your business than hers. She sacrifices more for you than herself. How heartless could you be?” Syd scolded. She was sick and tired of Kendrick’s behavior already. Hadn’t he had enough time just as

“ You know you have to go take care of your brother’s company back home right?” Padma said walking into Brie’s ward. It had been a month since the incidence and she hadn’t woken up from her coma. Her dad had come to see her at the hospital but couldn’t stay long enough. Her Step mother and step sister came to pay fake sympathy but you could read through their gimmicks. Her cousin had passed through and left. The only people around her were Padma, Aryan , Syd and surprisingly Aaron. Yes, Aaron!Syd had informed her brother about what had happened including every single detail but she hadn’t heard from him since then. Her mom was coming to check on her daughter-in-law today.“ The office won’t be sane without her, I won’t have a clear mindset to work knowing she’s here in the hospital fighting for her life,” Syd explained.“ I know but what about————-“ Don’t say his name Padma. It’s been a month I called to tell him about her condition and he’s still not replied or said anything on th

Brie suddenly opened her eyes taking in her surroundings. Her head was spinning for a couple of seconds before everything came to a standstill.“ Syd, where am I?” she asked drawing their attention to her. Syd, Padma, her mother-in-law, Aaron and Aryan were all in the ward when she woke up.“ In the hospital,” she smiled at her friend.“ But how? How did the meeting go?” she further asked.“ You remember that?” Padma asked.“ Yes Padma, we both came down to LA for a meeting. I had two. One for me and one for Syd’s company, after ours, I headed over to meet the clients and that’s all I remember,” she said as the doctor walked in.“ It’s glad to have you awake finally,” he said checking her vitals.“ You’ve been in a coma for a month and a few weeks,” the doctor explained as Kendrick walked in to the surprise of everyone except Briella.“ She’s awake?” Kendrick asked no one in particular.“ She just woke up,” the doctor replied.“ Um, I’m sorry but who is he?” Brie asked as the room fel

“ Don’t worry , I’ll take them both home. I just had a call that our house and that of Padma’s have been renovated,” Kendrick said to his mom and Syd, but Syd still insisted she was going with Brie home. “ Fine, if you insist” Kendrick gave up. Aaron had already left for Los Angeles a couple of days back. Brie had received phone calls from her dad asking how she was doing as well as some of her workers.“ Did you have to be so pushy Syd?” Brie asked as soon as Kendrick stepped out of the ward to settle her bills.“ Brie, I know you’ve lost a chunk of memories about him, but he’s my brother and he’s done a couple of things in the past that’s made me loose trust in him,” she said. “ I just want to come stay with you for a while before going back, if that’s okay with you..” she asked.“ That’s fine Syd, thanks for having my back.” The doctors had discharged Brie from the hospital and said it was okay for her to be on a flight. Their mom was going to take a transit flight back to San D
