LAURA'S POVWhy is he staring at me like that? I wondered. Was it just my thoughts, or has Bryan been staring at me ever since he entered this house?I hope he hasn't found another reason to start a fight with me. I've done nothing wrong. I pulled my dress down a bit but stopped myself immediately. What's the use of pulling my dress down?It's not like I'm dressed in an indecent manner, I thought with a frown on my face. As I tried to leave the room, he cleared his throat, which made me halt my steps immediately."Come over here," his voice called out to me. Ever since I hurt him, he's distanced himself, even his emotions."Huh?" I replied immediately as I got to where he was seated."How was your first day? What did you encounter at the mansion?" He inquired professionally."Nothing much everything was pretty normal. Even the head maid was pretty nice. According to her, the boss doesn't come over that much, but he comes by whenever he wants to," I explained, and he pinched the bridge

LAURA'S POV"Rest," his words echoed in my ears as I glared at the door where he had just exited.How could he be so arrogant?And his shirt... I frowned as I raised it, staring at it and then back at the door he had just left through.My mind wandered to the way he peeled the shirt from his body... his biceps and abs."Fuck," I cursed under my breath, rubbing my face in frustration. I managed to take a shower, and when I walked out of the bathroom in my robe, he was sitting on the bed, drinking coffee."You haven’t left for work?" I inquired, folding my arms."I'm making sure you arrive safely before I leave," he responded, and I scoffed immediately."That's not necessary, Mr. Finch. We are only business partners, and I can take care of myself," I remarked, and he smirked."I can see that," he commented mockingly, and I knew he was referring to the bathroom incident. I ignored him as I strolled toward the wardrobe and picked out my outfit for the day."I made you breakfast," he infor

BRYAN'S POVLast night was too much for me. I didn't talk to her when I returned to bed. She tried to touch me twice, but I rolled to the edge of the bed.When I woke up the next morning, our eyes met. She looked away and muttered a quick good morning."Good morning," I replied as I tried to walk past her. She rubbed her face."We are supposed to join Jacob's mom at the farm," she murmured softly."I know," I answered and walked out of the room."Bryan," she called as we stepped outside together, and I turned with an eyebrow raised."Huh... the thing is... about last night..." She hesitated nervously."Forget it happened. I probably had too much alcohol in my system," I muttered, and her eyes flashed with hurt."I understand," she replied and walked past me.Is she going to the farm dressed like that? I wondered as I stared at the dress she wore.It was a black floral dress that ended just before her knees and a black cute yellow sandals that complimented her skin. We walked out to th

LAURA'S POV"Let's cuddle, it's a weather for lovers..." he uttered teasingly, and I blushed red.This man is acting weird. I mean, he just changed all of a sudden. He has been so cold toward me that I actually forgot there was a playful side to him.What did you expect after all the things you put him through? My mind mocked.I shook my head as I got to the bed. He smirked and decided to excuse me for a while.Immediately he left, my phone rang, and I smiled when I saw the caller ID."Cris," I said immediately I picked up the call."Laura, I thought something bad happened to you. I've been trying to reach you for days," he stated worriedly."I'm fine, Cris. I told you not to worry about me... it's work," I murmured the last part softly."I know I'm not supposed to be so worried about you, but I can't help it. My heart wouldn't listen to me," he stated, and I fell quiet."Cris," I called his name in distress."But it's okay. Just don't tell me to move on, please," he uttered, and I ra

BRYAN'S POVEven the thought of all the bloody missions she might have gone through brought tears to my eyes.She signed her death. Why? Did I not matter to her? I bowed my head, and I couldn't stop myself as my whole body shook with emotions.I couldn’t control the tears that fell from my eyes. She doesn't care about my feelings. Anger coursed through my veins at the thought of it.I needed answers. Someone needed to give me those answers before I lost my mind. I moved out of my office, taking heavy strides towards Trenton's room.I was angry, not just angry, I was bleeding inside and needed answers before I lost my mind. I burst into the office without knocking."WTF..." he cursed as he dropped his glass of alcohol. My sister raised her eyebrows as she got down from the bed. As if reading our minds, Oscar also walked into Trenton's room."Oscar," Trenton called, and Oscar sighed."I kinda handed some important files about Laura to him," he confessed with his head bowed."You what!"
