Kendrick's mom had been with them for about two weeks and their charade was going on well even better than when she came. They had learned a lot about each other that they didn't know before.
" Enjoy your day at work today," Brie said to her husband as she helped him fix his tie.
" Thank you, I will. What are you doing today?" he asked pecking her on her lips. She had grown used to him casually pecking her on her lips even when they were having conversations and she was loving it. Who knows after her mother-in-law leaves things may go back to how they were before or even worse. She had to enjoy each and every moment while it lasted.
" I have a meeting with my board today, we are making headway with establishing another branch of our business here in Vegas," she replied. She knew he was supposed to put in his word for her but he's being reluctant.
" Oh, I forgot to ask. How did the meeting with the potential partner go?" he asked scratching his head
" Someone seems happy," Nexus said pecking Sage on her lips. She had been happy since she got home from Kendrick's office. She didn't care his mother had seen them, in fact, she was glad his mother had seen them. She had wanted to prove a point and she did so perfectly. She knew Kendrick still had a soft spot for her and she was going to use that against him until she got what she wanted.Typical Sage." Oh, I am, I am about to hit jackpot really soon." she smiled at him. Her actions seemed fishy but he didn't seem to care. He just needed a certain amount of money and then he was going to leave her sorry ass behind. She wasn't the type of woman he wanted. He just needed her to be where he wanted to be and she was really playing a good role in that.Pathetic fool!" Ma, what's happening? I thought you weren't leaving till the end of the month, what changed?" Briella asked as she noticed her mother-in-law pack her bags. She was done with h
“ Wait,” Briella said as Sage walked back to her. She didn’t want to say anything at first but on second thought she had to. He was her husband now and not a boy toy.“ Kendrick’s not home at the moment and I don’t remember inviting you in here, as if I would do what do you want?” Brie asked sipping her mocha seated in front of the house with one leg crossed over the other like the boss that she was. “ And why should I answer you?” Sage shot back.“ Because you are trespassing on my husband’s property with no authorization whatsoever, I have the right to question your movements in and out of my house,” she fired standing up to block her path. Sage tried to force her way inside the house as Brie poured the cup of mocha into
"Oh, I'd be back if I don't hear from you again dad. We had a deal and I have fulfilled my part of the deal, it's only right that you give to me what is rightfully mine. The deal was to get married to him and I did. You never mentioned child bearing before I got my share. It's either we settle this amicably or you hear from my lawyers. It's up to you to decide." Briella said walking towards the door. " Is that a threat?" her father asked making her stop in her tracks. " Oh no father dearest, it's a promise." she answered walking out. Anika had heard the foot steps of her Step-daughter and quickly run towards the nearest washroom closer to her husband's office before Briella got out. She had heard everything they were discussing about and there was no way she was allowing that happen. She needed to do everything in her will power to prevent Brie from getting that inheritance. Why was he finding it difficult to give her what rightfully belo
“… and you didn’t confront him? Instead you chose to give him the cold shoulder?” Padma asked Brie as they sat at her favorite restaurant in Los Angeles for dinner. They were having mashed potatoes, gravy and a juicy steak by the side. With their glasses filled with baileys. “ What’s the use of he’s going to deny it, come to think of it I think that’s why his mother left impromptu. She may have seen him cheating on me but decided to leave instead of being the one breaking the news,” she realized.“ He still has no justification to do that, she refused to marry him and you were forced into marrying him with your inheritance at stake. Forced marriages can be difficult at the beginning but it’s up to both of you to make this work,” Padma stated.“ Within those two weeks his mom was around we were fine, everything was going on well then after she left, it went back to how it was and now I understand why. As I said earlier, men don’t like being ignored and that’s my cue to win his love b
She did what I asked of her. So why am I sitting on her inheritance? She doesn’t know her mother left this for her else she would have dragged my ass to court. Eloise entrusted me with this inheritance to give to her baby girl when she was of age. Mr Rorberts paced up and down thinking to himself. He needed to do what was required of him to have peace but how was he going to do that when he was being watched like a hawk by Anika? The stress involved in marrying a bad wife. He shook his head in distress. He was going to give Brie what she deserved no matter what it took. He sat at his desk determined. Anika was jumpy at every moment she saw her husband. She knew he wanted to give that Brat her inheritance but not under her watch. She had planted spies all over who were watching her husband’s move. She needed to be sure that he didn’t do anything stupid. What Anika didn’t know was her husband knew he was being followed. She thought she was so smart, yet so dumb. Sage was doing so
“…. I missed you,” she ran to hug Aryan when Kendrick told her there was a man outside waiting for her. She hadn’t been talking to him for almost and then a random stranger comes out from nowhere and she’s all over him? Kendrick thought to himself angry.“ I missed you too, where’s your husband can I say hi to him?” Aryan asked smirking. “ Um, hi.” Kendrick said behind both of them. “ You must be Kendrick, her husband. I’m her best friend, Aryan it’s been nice meeting you..” he introduced without Brie saying a word.“ Same, I have a meeting and I’d see you later,” he said walking out of the house as fast as he could.“ Cut him some slack Brie, the poor man wants you to talk to him. Didn’t you notice how happy he was when you acknowledged him as your husband? What more do you want?” Aryan asked as they both headed to the kitchen. “ Hi Alyssa, meet Aryan my best friend, Aryan , Alyssa my friend and our help.” Brie introduced taking a bottle of juice out o the fridge. “ I hope he see
Brie kept banging on the door and yelling for help but to no avail. She was cleaning Kendrick’s room and spotted a small door at the far left corner of the room. She hadn’t noticed the door there for the number of times she had been in that room. Curiosity got the best part of her and she opened the door to see what was there unfortunately for her she got locked inside. It was a small elevator that led to the roof top but for now it was faulty.Alyssa wasn’t hearing her shouts because she was in the laundry room that was far from where Brie was. Her phone wasn’t on her at that moment as well because Brie had been calling but no answer. Aryan’s phone was off too. She was at the verge of having another panic attack which would be worse than the previous one. The only person who could help was her husband and she needed him so.she called his number. It rang once , then twice before he answered. “ Help me,” she managed to say in between sobs.“ Where are you? Is everything okay? What h
“ I’m sorry I couldn’t come check on you boo-boo,” Aryan said pulling her cheeks. Padma and Aryan had come over to pay her a visit after she told them about what had happened to. Aryan wasn’t so much in shock because he knew about her being claustrophobic, but Padma wasn’t aware that’s whys she was so much worried about the well being of her friend. “ I’m glad you’re fine Brie, I really am.” she smiled. “ Thanks Padma, it was a scary experience considering the fact that no one’s lines were going through except Kendrick,” she smiled at the mention of his name.“ Seems both of you are getting cozy,” Aryan wiggles his eyebrows making her blush.“ Yeah, but I’m afraid he may go back to his of ways soon.” she sighed. “ You could stick to pretend suspicious phone calls and messages,” Padma suggested. “ That’s actually not a bad idea, we can also go out on dinner dates too. But let’s put the date part on hold for now and proceed with the calls. I’d let you know when to start,” Brie stat
