One week later.
Briana and George left the house early in the morning, heading to the Office of the City Prosecutor to file a complaint against Xander.
The mother and son were left in the house.
Rosita had been dying to be alone with her son so that she could ask him some questions about his intentions in hiring his stepsister to work for his company. It is making her uneasy!
As soon as Briana and George were out of the gate, Rosita quickly went upstairs to her son's room.
Rosita went inside without knocking because the door was open. She found her son typing on his laptop.
Jack stopped typing on the keybo
Five days later.Briana met her best friend Reva in the café shop. They have been having conversations in messenger for a while, but it is only now that they are able to see each other after the kidnapping incident."OMG! How are you for real, Bri? Do you have scars or wounds on your body? Did that bastard hurt you?" Reva asked, inspecting her friend's skin, looking for any signs of physical abuse."I'm perfectly fine. Although that psycho guy is deranged, he didn't hurt me physically, but he mind-fucked me," Briana confessed.Reva's eyes widened. "W-what do you mean? Can you elaborate, please?""That sick guy was planning to have sex with me using a lib
Finally, midnight comes...Jack slowly exited his room, careful not to make any sounds that might awaken the folks sleeping in their bedroom on the ground floor of his house. He went to Briana's room, delighted that the door was already open, only needing a little push. He swiftly entered the room, closed the door behind him, and locked it slowly, making sure it was not making any sound at all.He looked at the bed, and the smiling Briana was already waiting for him with arms wide open.He planted a kiss on her forehead the moment he reached her side. "I miss you so much, babe!" he whispered, sensually sucking her earlobes.Briana giggled. "I miss you too!""Le
One month later.The resolution was finally released by the Office of the Prosecutor, and Xander was given a five-year prison sentence.To celebrate the occasion, Briana and her family dined at a five-star hotel and visited a theme park to commemorate the event because justice has been served and the kidnapper was finally sent to jail, much to Briana's great relief.Briana was looking forward to working for Jack's company.But before that, she was currently inside her favorite cafe shop to say goodbye to her best friend Reva."OMG! You are really leaving me for real this time. I'm feeling so sad right now," Reva said, teary-eyed and feeling emotional.
Two days later.After breakfast, the family was busy packing for their trip to Brisham City, which will take place that afternoon. The older couple would stay for a few days there with Jack and Briana before returning to the city.The older couple finished packing their things first because they only needed a few clothes, so they prepared food for lunch in the kitchen while the younger people were still in their rooms, packing.It was already 11:30 in the morning when Briana finished putting all her things in the travel bags and went downstairs to help the folks prepare food in the kitchen.When she arrived there, the dishes were already cooked and ready to be served. She helped her stepmother set the table and put
After finishing dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, the family went to the building's working area, passing rows of cubicles before arriving at the end of the hallways, where Jack's office was on the right and his right hand's office was on the left."And guys, this room in the center is for my sister Briana," Jack said, entering the room. The upper half of the room was glass-walled. "Sis, you have the view outside," he said.Briana rushed to the desk and lowered herself onto the comfy swivel chair. "This is nice!" she exclaimed in glee. She stood up and checked the closed door on her right."That's the bathroom," Jack said.Briana checked the bathroom, it was clean from top to bottom. "I like it!"
Monday finally comes.Everything was planned ahead, so there's not much to do for the other members of the family because the catering provides the food and the services that come with it.It was 3:00 p.m., and the employees, including Jack, were still working in their cubicles while the trio waited upstairs on the 5th floor.The older couple was relaxing in the living room watching their favorite show while Briana was in her room, mentally preparing herself to face all the employees later, after office hours.She texted Jack. 'Do you think it's too grand that you have to go to such lengths just to inform your employees that I'll be working for you as your secretary?'
While eating, Jack looked behind and saw his right hand. Scott gave them a thumbs up as he looked in their direction. He smiled and replied with a thumbs up as well.Briana saw where Jack was looking and noticed that one of the men looked familiar to her. "Who is that guy you are looking at?""Who?" Jack asked. "Do you mean that guy wearing a brown polo shirt?""Yup!" Briana nodded her head. Wait! Where did he meet this guy? He looks damn familiar!"It's my right hand, Scott Collins," Jack replied.Oh, crap! Briana's eyes widened in shock as realization dawned on her, and she quickly fixed her stare on the floor. Then her past with Scott flooded back into her m
She was fidgeting on her bed while waiting for Jack to text her good night. She was on the edge of a nervous meltdown, wondering what the men were chatting about?She hoped it wasn't her!She took a deep breath and tried to calm her tense nerves.Ugh! She can't be like this all the time!She was excited to start working in Jack's company only to find out in horror that her ex—her first love—Scott was working in the same company with her and her new man.This is going to be excruciatingly uncomfortable for her, she is deeply worried about Jack's reaction when he learns that she and Scott were once lovers.
