Ryan's POV
Having my work completed, I closed the laptop and my mind immediately shifted to Evan. After that night, he was in a very bad condition. Brae's constant rejection was demoralising him but her last words really did it.
He is again drowning himself in work, not caring for anyone including himself and is always in a bitter mood, snapping at everyone for the pettiest of reasons. His current state was reminding me of the time when he was slipping into depression after his breakup.
I didn't want him to pass through that same phrase all over again but staying away from Brae will never help him. He isn't torturing Brae like last time. In fact he ignores Brae like she doesn't exist because he gets more hurt each time he hurts her.
I looked at the watch waiting for Brielle. She had called me last night saying that she wanted to talk to me and that she wanted nobody to
Ryan's POV"Hello?" Her sweet voice rang."Bri." I smiled, remembering the last day when she told me that Brielle is too long and I can call her Bri."Ryan, did he believe you?" Worry was evident in her voice."No. He didn't." I sighed thinking back to my conversation with Evan earlier today."Now what? Was that it?" She sounded so heartbroken."No, I want to get to the bottom of it. I will tell you everything but you have to meet me tomorrow." I wanted to find a way to prove Brae innocent by any means."What are we going to do?" I could imagine her curious face."I have something in mind but I will tell you once we meet." Firstly, I wanted to sit down and speak calmly. Secondly, I wanted to see her again. It was crazy that I had met her only twice and I was already missing her ."Okay
Ryan's POVI kept looking at my phone, expecting her call at any moment when my doorbell rang. Getting up I quickly opened the door to see Bri."Bri? Come in." I wasn't expecting her. I had that he would call once she leaves."I was waiting for your call." I walked in after her."I am sorry but I wanted to speak face to face." She looked at me apologetically."Come on, there's nothing to be sorry about. You want some water?" I offered to which she nodded. Passing her a glass of water I sat down opposite her impatiently waiting for her to speak ."Did she speak up?" I questioned, my patience thinning out. She sighed before nodding."She did."........................"Do you need any help?" I asked looking at Bri in the kitchen. Both of us were hungry when she volunteered to make us som
Braelyn's POVI was in my pjs watching a movie when the doorbell rang. On opening the door, I saw Evan standing there."Evan?" I looked at the clock to see eight at night."Brae." He calmly acknowledged."What are you doing here at this time?" I asked, trying to put on a mask of indifference, just like everytime I was near him."Come with me." I unfolded my arms that were crossed against my chest at his words."Now?""Now." He stated firmly without blinking."I can't, Evan." How could I risk going with him at this time when every minute around him was dangerous for me? No matter how hard it was, I had convinced myself to stay away from him outside office hours."You can and you will come with me right now." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me out with him."You can
Braelyn's POV"Victoria called me telling me that you were flying off to Germany for a month because you wanted to get away from me, that you had asked to never call you again." He stared at me with dry amusement before letting out a humourless chuckle."Amazing! I didn't know that I ever said something like that! I went to Germany for the company." He spoke, a mock smile gracing his lips. My eyes were stinging with tears."And even if it was true, if I had really said those words, you decided to give up?" His voice sounded so dangerously cold like it could give you chills."I was guilty Evan, I had hurt you so bad and when I heard that you didn't want to see me at all, I decided to give you what you wanted." He nodded big with a sarcastic laughter."You decided to give me what I wanted." Evan's expression was scaring me to death. He looked
Evan's POV"Do you think that she is chilling at home with Netflix and trying to forget you ?" I sighed before looking at Ryan's face. Brae didn't come to the office since the last two days and on the first hour of the third day , Ryan came up with his hundred and one potential possibilities behind Brae's absence."Or…." His eyes widened like he discovered something, most probably another stupid reason."Maybe she is on a boyfriend hunt." I rolled my eyes at him. His stupid cartoon-like expressions weren't helping my increasing annoyance."Stop with this nonsense already. There isn't anything like this.""How do you know? Maybe she is meeting one or more people , going on dates." Now this really did piss me off. I gritted my teeth and glared at him while he only grinned."Maybe-""Shut up. Will you?" I gri
Evan's POVI was on my way to my cabin when some of the employees wished me good morning and I wished them back.Turning the knob, I entered the room only to be surprised.On my desk was a bouquet of Irises Stalking near , I picked it up and inhaled the woody smell. I looked for a note in it but found none attached. Only one name came to my mind of who could have done it."Come in." I kept the flowers down waiting for the person to enter."Good morning." Brae walked in with a smile."Good morning.""Nice flowers!" She exclaimed, putting down the cup of coffee on my desk. I could directly see through her act."Ah ! Yes. I was wondering if you know who sent them. " I asked , playing along."Depends." She shrugged ."On?""Whether you like them or not." My brow
Evan's POVBrae stood there in a satin pink dress that was hugging every curve on her body. Her hair was pushed back behind her shoulder, exposing her long slender neck and her defined beauty bones. My eyes moved up to her full pink lips, causing me to painfully gulp. My eyes got fixed on her eyes. They had that mesmerizing effect on me, leaving me feeling dazed. After a long minute I averted my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my erratic breathing.Before I could speak, she pushed a balloon with a frown and a sorry message on it in my face."Brae-" She cut me off."No, I will speak and you will listen to me." I knew she would apologize and I had already forgiven her. I wanted to tell her that."But-" Again I was cut off."Shut up." She glared at me, causing me to raise my hands in surrender. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath
Braelyn's POVI groaned in sleep as I felt a tickle in my ear and then swatted the hand away but it didn't go. I turned to my side hoping to get some more sleep but the fingers went to tickle everywhere causing me to burst out in laughter."Okay - okay , st-stop! I'm up!" I finally turned on my back and that's when the movements stopped. I peeled my eyes open and was met with his gorgeous blue ones. The white bed sheets were covering till his waist while his naked upper body was raised by the support of his arms. He was looking down at me, flashing one his bright smile at me."Good morning.""Good morning. How long since you're up?" I yawned sitting up."Two hours maybe." He replied, twirling some strands of my hair between his fingers."You must be hungry." I don't know why a sudden and somewhat mischievous smile fell upon his lips.
