Bryan's POV.I went out to jog, and looked around the neighborhood. I got tired so I decided to go back to my house. But when I got back home, I saw a familiar vehicle parked in front of my house. I went closer to it, and then I saw a familiar face coming out of the car. “What?” I gasped in surprise. “Do you miss me?” A fragile voice asked cheerfully. “Mom, what are you doing here?” I asked confusedly. “What do you mean? I am here to greet my son, what else?” she asked, and I sighed heavily. “You can't come here unannounced mom, you should at least call me next time,” I said angrily. “You don't have to be angry, I also know that your faculty gave the lecturers a day off,” she said.“How? How did you know?” I asked confusedly, and she smiled. “What do you mean by how? Everybody knows, even though your school is private, such things are still very rare, why only one faculty?” She asked like she was in for some gossip.“How will I know? I am a student,” I said hurriedly. “But your fat
Bryan's POV.“I don't understand your father, I told him I want to spend the weekend here since it's Friday, but he rejected,” she said, and I widened my eyes in surprise. I should not be shocked but I just couldn't help it . Her assistant looked at her with amusement, and I smiled. “I guess she understands what I meant now,” I muttered seeing her surprised face.“Mom, spending the weekend here? Are you being serious about it? Or you want to tease your husband?” I asked, and she looked away. “Mom, you know this is not right, you don't even tell me about it, and you want to spend the weekend here,” I said. “Do I need permission for that too?” She asked, and I sighed heavily.“Of course, you do, you can't be doing this, and your husband is angry as well, you should not do something like that with telling him beforehand too,” I said, and she faced me. “What am I supposed to do?” She asked.“To do? I don't understand,” I said, and she looked at me angrily. “Your father is angry, you kn
Bryan's POV.“So, do you have a girlfriend or not,” she asked with a serious face, and I swallowed nervously. 'What did she want from me?’ I thought.“No I don't have,” I said with a straight face, and she cleared her throat. “Okay, did you have someone you want to date in mind?” She asked, and I spaced out. I wondered if I should tell her about Giselle or not, but I knew that my mother is persistent, and would not let me be until she knew the girl, so I decided to keep it a secret.“I don't have, Mom, if I have any lady in mind I will let you know,” I said, not having the boldness to tell her that I was in love with a married woman. “Okay, anytime you see a lady that you love, I will support you, regardless of background,” she said, and I smiled. My mom did not believe in class or level, she believed that love doesn't need hierarchy, so they did not accept any betrothal request from any family when I was young unlike others.“Thank you Mom,” I said, and she hugged me. “Ding ding,” a
Bryan's POV.“He drugged his mother, and tied her in a container, she never recovered from the shock of her husband's death till now,” he said from the other end.“Rumor said that he secretly visits his mother some times,” he said from the other end. “How did those people know?” I asked.“The nurses in the health center said, she usually makes noise screaming his name and hurts the nurses whenever they notice an unusual aura, but no one ever saw him, that was just their guess,” he said from the other end.“You said his real father is a sociopath, right?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied from the other end. “Why did he never visit the hometown to claim his son?” I asked. “That's right, the only possibility for the man's silence is death!” He exclaimed from the other end. “Okay how wealthy was his mother before the incident?” I asked. “They lived in a hometown, but they were recognized as a rich family,” he said from the other end.“Is the stepfather rich?” I asked. “No he was just an average
Bryan's POV.“Check your email first, then we can talk,” I said, and he looked at me curiously.He went to his seat, and his eyes widened after seeing the message. He came closer to me, and cleared his throat. “What if we shift the attention of the case from stalking and kidnapping to a murder case?” I suggested, and he smirked with amusement. I knew he might want to play hard to get but I knew he would not throw away the opportunity, he was an outcast for 7 years in his department, all his mate has been promoted, and he did not solve any case that can draw public attention, but the case was the exact thing he was starving for.“So, what should I give you in return?” He asked politely, knowing I did not do it for free. “Good question, Albert Giselle, I want her name to be deleted from the record, I don't want him to be connected to the case in any way, not even as the victim,” I said, and he looked at me with a questioning look.“And why is that?” He asked, and I smirked. “I don't th
Kevin’s POV.After I ended the call with Bryan, I took my jacket and head outside, I got into my car, and zoomed out of the parking lot. On my way, I saw a coffee shop, and decided to have some coffee before I got there, because I did not want to sleep early, and it was getting late already.I dropped from my car, and entered the coffee shop. “Welcome si__” the attendant was saying, but she paused after seeing me, it was Audrey Hepburn.“W-welcome sir,” she stuttered and acted like she did not know me. “What will you like to order, sir,” she asked. “You work here?” I asked, and she nodded slightly at me.“That's great,” I said with a smile. “I want black coffee,” I said, and she looked at me weirdly. “Black coffee?” She asked. “Yeah,” I replied. “Okay sir,” she said, and processed the order. I was given my coffee and when I was about to pay, I noticed something at the counter, and I felt irritated.I saw a grown up man who I suspected to be the manager looking at Andrey with an unpl
Giselle's POV.I spent the whole day sleeping and working on the students' assessment. I felt like my whole body went numb, so I decided to walk around the mansion, breathing the air peacefully without any insults, and the memory of being kidnapped by that psychopath was fading away. I sat on the bench inside the garden, and watched the beautiful sunset. “I wish this feeling could last,” I mumbled to myself. I sighed with relief, and smiled.I checked my phone, expecting a call from someone. “He hasn't called yet,” I said, referring to Bryan, but then I thought I should not be expecting any call from him. I noticed that I was expecting too much from him and I did not want anything to happen between us.“Giselle get your act straight, and stop thinking about him, think about your husband,” I exclaimed, trying to convince myself that I wasn't attracted to Bryan.“Did the Boss call?” Someone asked from behind, and that startled me. “Ahhhhhhhhh!” I screamed, holding my chest. “You scared
Kevin's POV.I followed her knowing it was late and she won't have anywhere to sleep. She went into a bar, and wanted to drink but when she checked her purse she left the bar, and she went to the ice cream stand. I watched her every move, and made myself visible to her but she ignored me. And she kept on going to different places and I almost forgot where I packed my car. But I could not stop following her, because it seemed like I was the cause of her problem.I could not stop wondering what kind of mother was her because she was sent out of her house that late when she is just eighteen, and her mother's word flash through my mind, she said Audrey should go and beg the man before coming back to the house. I guessed that she was already aware of her daughter being harassed at work, but she didn't defended the man like it was no big deal.'Who is the man to them? Or what could be the cause of that maltreatment? Or some mothers are just like that?’ I thought, and stared at Audrey's bac
