Brianna’s POV“I’m sorry, Miss Bree. I was incompetent.”I lifted my eyes from some documents to look at Levi’s regretful face. When I confronted him about my meeting yesterday, he was also clueless about the identity of the prospect investor. Cain used another name to lure me into that meeting. I was mad at Levi for not doing a background check about the person I will meet but I am well aware that I have my share of faults.I shook my head. “Forget it, Levi. What about the companies I asked you to make an appointment with? We have to find new investors or we’ll have to file bankruptcy.”He looked down. “I apologize, Miss Bree. The companies I contacted aren’t interested.”My forehead creased. “What do you mean? You contacted three companies today and yesterday, right?”He nodded and fixed his specs. “Well, the company yesterday set a meeting for next week, but today, their secretary called and canceled it.”I blinked and sucked my breath. This is insane! I know for sure that Cain has
Brianna’s POV“Wow!”I flashed a sweet smile at Blake who got out of his car and praised me. I noticed we’re wearing a paired color and I liked it. He walked towards me in a dashing suit and offered his arm. “Shall we?”I snaked my arm on his arm and he guided me towards the shotgun seat. He was careful and gentle as he closed the door on my side. I watched him go to the other side of the car. Before he invests in my company, he wants me to accompany him to his uncle's birthday party. I’m nervous, alright! I mean, Blake Lucas’ family is now one of the riches and his uncle was a legendary actor. So I’m certain there would be a lot of people, showbiz or non, in the party. They might even recognize me.“Are you nervous?”I glanced at Blake and smiled softly. “Kinda. People might recognize me.”The corner of his lips rose. “Of course, they’d recognize you. The luxurious Brianna Quinn, heiress of The Quinn’s Villa is seen with Blake Lucas, the handsome nephew of a legendary actor.”I smirk
Brianna's POVI thought I could easily change my life after I got reborn. I had the courage to change my fate because I know I have my resources. But after realizing the possible fall of my company, it shook me. It wasn't Cain who shook me, it was the situation of the company that my grandfather entrusted me with.I have three days left from a week that the shareholders gave me. I only have three days to find a way to at least assure them that the company won't fall. I only have three days left to prove that I can save the company. But I'm losing my hope.When Blake showed up, I thought I found hope but I was wrong. Blake has his own plans and it might affect my company.The project I approved before I filed for a temporary leave was kept on hold by my greedy uncle and instead, he used the remaining funds to start his condominium with a hotel project. He's indeed a gambler. A very stupid gambler. He would gamble everything on something that isn't even certain. He's dirtying the compan
Rogue Adams’ POVI was pissed right after I saw a stolen photo of Brianna in the Lucas family mansion. The caption was insulting and mocking her, saying she came to see Cain Hamilton. I was invited but I declined the invitation, now I found myself in front of the huge mansion of Blake Lucas’ family. I hate that dude. He’s a womanizer and a fcking pretender. I bet he was the one who brought Brianna to this birthday party.“I heard it! I heard Blake asking Brianna Quinn to marry him.”My eyes widened in fraction and I stopped in front of the group of women in the corner of the pool area.Marry him? I knew he had wicked plans. Damn it! Is he trying to take advantage of Brianna’s situation? I asked to meet Levi Thompson again and he told me everything about what has been happening in their company. It’s a complete mess and now Blake Lucas is trying to make things even complicated.My irritation intensified especially after I saw two women trying to intimidate the most intimidating woman I
Brianna’s POVBefore I could answer, Rogue lifted his arms and shook his head. He smiled apologetically. “You don’t have to answer that. I’m sorry for being nosy.”I shook my head. “It’s okay.”I actually want to tell him that I don’t love Cain anymore. I want to tell him that but I feel so nervous. He told me about his feelings. He confessed that he loves me. And when he kissed me, I felt his feelings, I felt his heart. He whispered that he’s in love with me. It almost took my breath away.I swallowed hard and hugged the pillow. I sniffed the pillowcase and gasped when I smelled Rogue’s scent. He smells so…handsome and yummy. Eh? Am I lusting over him or am I simply attracted to him?I lay on the bed straight and stared at the ceiling. I’m still in the condo unit of Rogue’s friend. He said he has his own room in this pad and this is where he wants me to sleep while he’s in the other room. I actually wanted to go home, but he insisted on letting me stay here because it’s already midni
Brianna’s POVI was taken aback. Last night he asked me if I still love Cain and after he comforted me, I told him I don't. Now he's asking me if I'll accept Cain again.He must've a reason. He must've been thinking that there might be circumstances or reasons that would make me accept Cain, but no… I don't have plans to take him back.“No,” I answered honestly.Rogue stared into my eyes after he released a sigh of relief. He looked down and when he lifted his face to look at me again, he smiled. “That’s good! Let’s eat?”I nodded and we started eating. Offered to wash the dishes after we’re done but he didn’t allow me, saying I’m a visitor. He sent me to the living area and opened the television before he went back to the kitchen. I just smiled and fixed my eyes to the movie. My eyes suddenly captured a photo frame on the cabinet beside the television. Slowly, I walked towards the frame and my eyes widened.It was a photo of Rogue and another man. Rogue was lying on beach sand, the o
Brianna’s POVI walked past Cain but he grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall. I groaned because of the impact and glared at him. My chest was moving up and down in irritation. He just has all the reasons to make me upset. This guy would never leave me alone. He would do everything it takes to get what he wants. But I won't let him.His burning eyes shot me glares. “Tell me! Who was it, huh? Was it the guy last time? Or was it Blake Lucas? Fcking tell me, Brianna!”I pushed him with all my strength. “I am not obligated to explain to you or even answer you nonsense and goddamn questions! Why don’t you just leave me alone? Leave me alone, Cain. How hard is it to understand? Are you stupid or your ego just couldn’t take it?”He gritted his teeth. “You can’t do this to me, Brianna! I will really pull my investments!”“Do it!” I growled. “You are not manipulating me again, Cain. Why are you acting like it was my fault? Let me remind you, you were the one who cheated!”“So that’s
Brianna’s POV“These are all?” I asked Levi after I sat on my swivel chair and saw the three folders on my table.“Yes, Miss bree.”I smiled and nodded at him. “Thank you, Levi. I’ll just check this.”“You want a coffee or juice, Miss Bree?”I nodded. “Juice please.”I opened the folder about the RYD Estate. It gave me an overview of their company. Their mission, vision, employees, awards and recognition and then their other achievements. The last page was about the CEO of the RYD Estate and my eyes widened after I saw a familiar name printed on the paper.Rogue Adams Ryder? Huh? Rogue Adams? Was it the same Rogue Adams I know?I gasped. If this is the same Rogue Adams I have in my mind, then he’s not an ordinary person. He’s filthy rich and…he didn’t tell me? It’s not like he’s obligated to tell me everything. I didn’t ask him either.I cleared my throat when Levi entered and put the juice on my table. I quickly sipped on it and looked at him when he put another folder in front of me
