/Brian’s POV/I properly park my car in the parking lot before making my way into the entrance of Kings Villa before making my way to the entrance of the mansion.The two large antique doors of the main living room is widely open, so I just step into the mansion to take in the environment.When I walked out of this living room on Saturday, I thought that I was going to return to the mansion happily after taking one step closer to forever, but here I am today steeping into the house alone, back to square one.I take my seat on the white and gold sofa, opposite Elva who is way to engrossed in talking to her assistant to notice my presence.My baby sister rarely brings office work home and if she does, it is most likely that the work she has is a really urgent one and she wants to maximize her time well so that she doesn’t end up disappointing her clients.I strongly that Elva’s job as a celebrity Make up artist is not as glamorous as it looks, one of its perks is just that she is well c
/Brian's POV /"Big bear" Elva calls out to me, but I ignore her because under no circumstance am I going to allow anyone try to talk me out of confronting the selfish man that calls himself my father.on getting to the parking lot, I survey the area to see if my father's favourite car is parked in his favourite spot,but there was no trace of the car."is the chairman back?" I ask the valet on shift but he shakes his head "neither chairman nor his special assistant has returned to this house today" he answers and I nod my head in agreement, knowing that the next place that is likely for me to find my father must be Kings Corporation.the thought of calling miss Caleb, my father's special assistant to ask her about my dads current location crosses my mind, but we share no personal relationship apart from relating only when the need arises so I decide against it and make my way into the car.I can't remember how exactly I got Meelah's contact, but i know that every time my father want
/Brian’s POV/The past seven days of my life has to have been the toughest and the most painful seven days of my 24 years of existence because tell me why it is at the point that I start feeling hopeful about how things are going on in my life that the unexpected happens to me?It almost as if the situations and circumstances are already on standby, waiting for me to think everything is finally starting to make sense before they join the group chat of my life.On one hand we have Xander Kings and Embers father that are hell bent on getting me married to Eden, on the other hand there is Ember that I thought we had a proper conversation where she knew and understood my intentions for her and unborn child, so tell me why she will agree to ahead to marry the same Adrian that categorically told her to get rid of her baby because all this is not making any sense at all.I felt like a big joke when I called Ember to discuss plans of sabotaging the wedding with her that same Wednesday after I
/Brian's POV/I guess Eden’s boyfriend is right, he said that people like us can not have a free relationship so I guess I will take my fathers deal since there is nothing more for me to lose.“hey” Elliot whispers after finally joining me outside.“What are you thinking about?” he inquires and I sigh“Nothing much…” I answer totally uninterested in finding the right words to explain the storm going on in my head in words.“Have you finally made up your mind?” he inquires, with concern lacing his voice.“Did they leave me with much of a choice?” I scoff in disdain.“I know right” he answers looking at me pitifully.“don’t worry my love, you are going to be just fine” he says, opening his arms wide to hug me but I just dodge him because I am not in the mood for his antics.“So …. where do we go from here?” I ask him, ignoring the sad face that he is making to emotionally blackmail me.“lets just get our clearance over and done with so that we can rest early…..we have had a really long
/Brian’s POV/“Hey…” Elliot finally speaks up, nudging my shoulder and breaking the silence.“What is going on between you and Meelah?”“Why did she call you a coward of all things?“most importantly, when did you and Meelah start relating so well because you never mentioned that you guys are tight”“Why is she so saucy to you even though you are her boss’s son, and why is the energy between you guys extremely weird” Elliot bombards me with questions without giving me time to ponder on any of the questions.“I must have done her dirty in her past life” I try to cover what happened up with a joke even though there are lots of questions on my mind as to why she spoke to me the way she did.“don’t cover this up, I need answers from you” Elliot says sternly.“Wait a minute……” it suddenly occurs to me and I pause dramatically.“Why did you suddenly go mute when she was giving me back-to-back, but you miraculously recovered your voice to bombard me with questions after she left when you wer
/Brian’s POV/The rest of the drive after Elliot’s motivational speech was quiet because instead of overthinking my situation, my mind kept on drawing me back to what Elliot said about me being one of the strongest people that he knows and that one day I will look back on everything that happened and smile.I don’t think that I am as strong as he said, but at the same time, I can’t help but wonder if he actually meant what he said or he was just trying to make me feel better, but either way, I really needed to hear those words, so let’s just say that he said the right words to me at the right time, so I am going to take his word for it.The driver finally dropped us in front of Emerald bay hotel, so I checked into hotel but I think Elliot went to Crowne Plaza, I am not sure if I got the name correctly because my brain wasn’t settled enough to absorb the hotel name, all I just know is that he went to the hotel where his girlfriend was logged to see if he was going to get a room there.
/Meelah’s POV/Elliot opens the door for me with a mixture of shock and disappointment in his eyes, but it took me a lot to finally locate Brian and Elliot, after Elliot messed up the accommodation plan that I set in place for them, making it difficult for me to make inquiries about their location from others without giving off the vibe of an obnoxious ex.“I know that I am the last Person that you are expecting to show up at your door at this moment, but Can we talk?” I try to construct my sentence in my mouth before putting it to Brian, but he and Elliot just stare at me like I just stepped out of a horror movie.“Alone” I add but both of them don’t seem to be paying attention to what I am saying, so I go closer to Brain since he is the one I came here for. I startle Brian out of his thoughts by snapping my well-manicured finger in front of him, and on getting his attention, I take a deep breath as I try to coordinate myself because the weird reception that they gave me is startin
/Brian’s POV/Isn’t it very strange that my father’s assistant of all people, came to knock on the door of Elliot’s room and asked to talk to me after she legit insulted me at the airport for being a coward that couldn’t stand up to his father.I could read the uneasiness on her face with Elliot’s presence in the room, an expression that I have never seen before, so I asked Elliot to go on with the preparations for the bachelor’s eve that he was rambling about before Meelah walked in.Elliot has been engrossed with planning my wedding despite the fact that I didn’t want the wedding to happen and he isn’t such a big fan of weddings because of how his parents turned out, but falling in love with Dianne has changed his mentality about everything concerning love and marriage, so it was expected that anything marriage related will get him out of the room without questions.After getting Elliot out of the room so that I could concentrate on what Meelah had to say, but she had nothing to say
