A month has passed , yet Kendrick hadn’t come back home and had stop answering calls from his mom. He had changed his number so his line remained unreachable.Brie tried each and every day to get by. She tried burying herself in work like how she did when her mom and brother died. But in this case the work load was too much. At first, Kendrick was handling his work though his was MIA but now he had totally abandoned work and his employees. So herself, Syd and Alex were the ones currently running it. Alex’s participation wasn’t much because he also had a business to ran and it wasn’t his obligation. Brie was luckily to have understanding partners and team members on her team, so there was no pressure whatsoever in running her company. “ Here are the files you asked Ma’am” Kendrick’s prompted her.“ That’s Nancy, what’s on our schedule today?” she asked her as Syd walked into the office. “ We have a meeting with the board at 12pm, hopefully it would be virtual, then at 2pm we have a

You’d better watch your back!Briella stood infront of her company reading the note that had been spelled with blood. Their company was barely a year and it was doing great, in fact better than most airline companies in Las Vegas and it was drawing attention to them. As much as it was drawing positive vibes, it was also drawing negative ones too. They were making enemies pretty fast.“ Oh my gosh! what happened here?!”Padma exclaimed asking her friend. “ I just got here Padma, I am as confused as you are,” she answered looking around to see if they would find the security somewhere. Briella heard grunts coming from the side of the building and Padma followed closely. Two of their security men had been gunned down and it was probably their blood that was used to issue out that warning. She calmly checked for their pulse to see if they were alive.“ Padma…dial 911,” she heaved a sigh of relieve when she felt their pulse after a few minutes. Padma dialed the number with shaky hands and

“ Sir, she’s fine.” the man reported through the phone.“ Good continue to keep an eye on her.” the man replied dropping the call.“ Come to think of it Syd, doesn’t your brother bother about his company?” Briella asked out of the blue. That question had been on her mind for a while and she needed answers to it. It seemed as if he didn’t are about any other thing but himself at that moment.“ Brie, I am as confused as you. I don’t know what’s up his sleeve but…I just don’t know.” she finished.Eventually Syd would leave to start her own life. She wouldn’t always be there to run the business. And what if Briella got fed up and left?“ For once, he should stop being selfish and think of others. I am the victim in this whole shenanigans, but here I am, slaving away for a man who doesn’t care,” she lay on the couch.Brie, Syd and Padma decided to have the day off just to unwind. There wasn’t much to be done at the office anyways. Padma and Brie’s company was still undergoing some investig

Briella crumpled the three mid threat note she found on her windshield that morning, after she had taken a shot of them. Why were they hell bent on ruining what she had built? She had never done any wrong to anyone so why did they want to harm her? “ What do they want from us and who the hell left this here?” Padma asked her friend. Both of them were traveling to LA for a business meeting. “ Honestly Padma, I don’t know who did and what they want from me.” she said dragging her luggage behind her. She didn’t want to talk about it but deep down, she was bothered.Who were these guys and what do they want?~“ No, you listen to me Kendrick. It’s time to come home. I don’t give a hoot if your assigned guards to her. She’s your wife and needs your support. Heck! She’s even done better with your business than hers. She sacrifices more for you than herself. How heartless could you be?” Syd scolded. She was sick and tired of Kendrick’s behavior already. Hadn’t he had enough time just as

Brie suddenly opened her eyes taking in her surroundings. Her head was spinning for a couple of seconds before everything came to a standstill.“ Syd, where am I?” she asked drawing their attention to her. Syd, Padma, her mother-in-law, Aaron and Aryan were all in the ward when she woke up.“ In the hospital,” she smiled at her friend.“ But how? How did the meeting go?” she further asked.“ You remember that?” Padma asked.“ Yes Padma, we both came down to LA for a meeting. I had two. One for me and one for Syd’s company, after ours, I headed over to meet the clients and that’s all I remember,” she said as the doctor walked in.“ It’s glad to have you awake finally,” he said checking her vitals.“ You’ve been in a coma for a month and a few weeks,” the doctor explained as Kendrick walked in to the surprise of everyone except Briella.“ She’s awake?” Kendrick asked no one in particular.“ She just woke up,” the doctor replied.“ Um, I’m sorry but who is he?” Brie asked as the room fel
